Roland's Point of view....

Roland was actually quite the character and whatever went through his mind before the battle probably had a little bit to do with family or close relatives. He may have thought about in the negative point of view like if He does the battle. He was a proud and very arrogant man. He would probably be thinking something more on the lines like this; “ If I win this battle imagine all the good that would come my way, all the cheers that I will feed of the thousands and thousands of people screaming and singing all sorts of victory songs. They will say ooohh Roland you are good oohh Roland you are great. And the king himself would walk his fat old self down the castle walk way and personally congratulate me for all my hard efforts to ensure his kingdom another prospers few thousand years. Yes that will be all amazing especially when news gets back to the kingdom about Roland’s amazing battle the people will be simply ecstatic. Then again on the other hand if I lose this battle, I think I would simply just fall down on my knees and cry a cry of desperation to the Lord above and just let everybody realize that we gave it our all but even thought I do that what will my friends and family think about me? They will think that I am a weak and insignificant little fool. For all this I must win this battle.
