"It's a pity! Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "King Aurelfeld shook his head with his back to her, infinitely embarrassed. "If there had been no war, Avril and Thrandeil might not have been for a month...... The big green forest will be able to marry the princess. ”

She knew what that meant. "Are you going on a campaign?"

"Yes, kid. King Aurifel turned slowly and put a hand on her shoulder—a gesture of the king's entrustment. "I thank you. In such a short period of time, you did everything you could. Before the war has begun, and the Great Green Forest's savings have not been depleted, you can ask me for a reward. ”

"Absolute freedom is the best reward, Your Majesty. If there's anything else you need me to do, you might as well speak up. ”

"It's too complicated, and I don't want to let Thranduil go with it. It was the only way I could think of to make him and Avril better. I hope you can help me to convince the prince to stay in the royal city. ”

Vernor's mouth opened for a long time before replying, "Let me think about it." ”

She's weighing.

If Thranduil had been left behind, it might not have been a month before he could become his own relative through Avril Lavigne, which was something that everyone was happy to see. But what does it mean for a warlike crown prince to stay? If there is no stage to play, the opportunity to be with his subjects will be lost, and the army will lose a strong general. Did she have a way to keep Thrandil, could she do so? for selfishness, for the sake of her beloved sister, or for the king's behold? Vernor stopped at the observation deck and looked unconsciously at the sky, trying to find a reason to convince herself.

"What is it that keeps my advisor away from laughter and standing in this silent place?" Thranduil asked, standing aside with a glass of wine in each hand and observing for a long time. "Is she thinking about the creatures that are gone?"

"Nope. Vernore turned around and subconsciously reached out to take a glass of wine, but was stunned. She looked at two different colored wines, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind.

"A glass of Dornin Wei red wine, a glass of blueberry cocoa unique to the Woodland Kingdom?" she said with her fingers swinging between the two glasses, "a glass is rich and fragrant, but it makes people lose their temper, a glass is fresh and bland, but it is as if it has not been drunk, which one should you choose?" Do you have any good suggestions?"

Thranduil looked at the glass in his hand with a little surprise, and when he was sure that he was holding it and not two rare objects, he let out two chuckles and passed both hands forward. "Either way, as long as you choose it, I'm happy to serve it with both hands. ”

Vernoll was silent on the surface, but the pleasant breath could not help but pass through the words. "Then I'm going to ......," she said, taking the two glasses with both hands, ignoring the wide eyes of the drinker, and quickly drank it down.

The prelude to the war blew all over the Great Green Forest overnight. Truckloads of supplies were escorted by uniformed guards to the Anduin River, where the "Last Alliance" would assemble.

Oréfer, who was scheduled to leave tomorrow, was waiting for Thranduil in his bedroom.

He peered in Mordor's direction through the floor-to-ceiling windows, where the sky became even more hazy. I don't know why, from the moment he received the assembly letter, he would always unconsciously stare at the sky in the direction of Mordor. What awaits him there?" he frowned.

Thrandil's arrival dispelled all the gloom in the splendid bedchamber, and a smile reappeared on Aurel's face. He beckoned to his son, his face unfathomable. "Hey, Thrandil, I'll show you something. ”

Thranduil, who was also scheduled to leave with his father to-morrow, was there anything in the Great Green Forest that he had not seen and that was important enough for him to see? In such a tense moment, after retiring from the crowd, he still stepped on the carved ebony leather chair, stood on it, lifted his toes, and reached into the ceiling where the crystal chandelier hung from it.

"A little further left. Yes, yes, there it is. You can take that brick off with a single tap. It's on the left behind the bricks. Aurel wiped his hands nervously and stared at Thranduil's hand. It wasn't until the burgundy flannel locket appeared in Thranduil's hand that he breathed a sigh of relief.

He took the locket, glanced at Thranduil triumphantly, and gently opened the lid. A dazzling white light pierced through, illuminating Thranduil almost unable to open his eyes.

"It's beautiful, isn't it? Your mother and I call it 'Starlight.'" Aurel smiled as if reminiscing about the good old days. "It was supposed to be on your mother's body. ”

Mother's relics? Thranduil's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and he remembered his mother's smile and warmth.

Aurel gently closed the locket and handed it into Thrandil's hand. "Now, I'll give it to you. Looks like you need to find a place to hide it first, and then ...... Give it to some blonde elf at the right time. You know who I'm talking about, Thranduil. ”

With his eyes closed, he pressed the locket in his hand to his chest, as if he could feel his mother's embrace. The appearance of the mother in my mind, and the big blue and purple eyes came to mind. When he opened his eyes again, his father was looking at him expectantly.

Outside the window, there is an endless stream of soldiers and carriages, and inside the window, there is a father who can't tell his real age, but is full of wind and frost. If he was now his father's only remedy to soothe his brows, what could he not do? Moreover, he just had an innocent and lovely wife, and he didn't want to sleep with filthy orcs all day.

"As you wish, my father. He carefully tucked the box into his arms, already thinking of the best way to keep it.

"When we return victorious, I'll give it to Avril. ”

The father and son, who had reached a consensus, did not engage in any further conversation. In fact, time doesn't allow them to talk too much. The king had to be busy with the formation of the army and the transportation of supplies, and he also needed to distribute the personnel and work assigned to the royal city. The prince would be relatively leisurely, and Thranduil took the opportunity to return to his bedchamber.

"Go pick up some new fabrics and make a farewell dress for the army, Avril. With these words, he broke Avril apart and won time alone with Vernor.

"It was supposed to be my mother's jewelry, and it should be Avril's jewelry in the future. He solemnly handed the flannel locket with both hands, waiting for Vernoll to be amazed by the "starlight". "I couldn't find anyone better to keep it than you before giving it to Avril. ”

Oddly enough, Vernoll was very calm. She opened the box, only slightly stunned for a moment when the light flashed. It was obviously the most beautiful gem she had ever seen, but before that, she had seen a number of stones that were slightly less beautiful.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's 'Starlight'. On behalf of the Gem family, I thank you for your promise, and I will give my life to help you take care of it. ”

Is it settled?' Thranduil made up the scene of his wedding, the bride was beautiful, and the "starlight" was shining, but he did not find the blue eyes.

He raised an eyebrow at Vernor. "I heard that my father has given you an official document guaranteeing your absolute freedom. ”
