The hope was faint, but worth a try; however, Roland gave her no chance at all.
From Roland's standpoint, having Alina alive to coordinate the strength of the Jin Yuan Kingdom as support was indeed the most prudent choice, but it forsook any possibility of Alina breaking through.

Being underestimated by the person she trusted the most, Alina suddenly felt disheartened, and her once flowing hair gradually wilted, no longer fluttering.
She would do anything Roland required as long as he needed it.
After repaying her debt, she felt no attachment to this world whatsoever.
