Five hundred and fifteen, open the skylight
Thranduil, who was blessed with "good night" by Nader, was not treated as a good night - as soon as Nader left, Merandil knocked twice on the door and walked in. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The vast majority of the chamberlain's chamberlain were Merandiel's men, and it was not surprising that Thranduil was able to come and go freely. Given that the human attendants are quite stable and know what to listen to and what not to hear, and know better what to say and what not to say, Thranduil doesn't mind that Merandil indirectly controls the dynamics of the palace through human attendants. But he kind of minded that Merandiel didn't even wait for a reply and just broke in!
Dressed in his nightgown, he leaned in the direction of King Gondor on the bed, raised his eyelids and looked at King Gondor as he approached, quietly waiting for his words. And Merandiel, who came alone, didn't talk nonsense, and after making an apology by the bedside, he asked bluntly: "It's me who didn't handle things well and made you unhappy, right?"
"Hmm!" Thranduil said as he opened the skylight. He half-sat up, straightened his dressing gown, and said lightly: "Whoever makes me unhappy, I will make whoever is even more unhappy! Whoever despises my feelings, I will make whoever despises the king of the woodland." Merandiel, I believe you know better than anyone else about my style. I didn't expect you to forget?"
"It's my negligence, it's my fault!" Merandiel, who wanted to introduce the topic directly to the clean-up campaign more quickly, hurriedly answered, and said with an unusually solemn look: "From now on, I will never forget it again." β
I'm waiting for your words!
Thranduil raised his hand to stop King Gondor's words, and as he spoke, he got up and walked to his desk, saying, "Very well. I happen to have an existence that you must never forget, and which I attach great importance to you. β
Under the assurance of Merandiel's left sentence "absolutely in mind" and another sentence "only obey the order", Thranduil pulled out a piece of paper out of nowhere.
"I care a lot about the feelings of the people of Gondor. To despise them is to despise me, and to make them unhappy is to make me unhappy. Passing the paper full of words, Thranduil said meaningfully: "Of course it is the king's fault that the people are unhappy or despised. I trust that you, as King of Gondor, will please the people and will not despise them. Of course, if one day you don't care about their feelings and my feelings, I will be very unhappy to make the real thing public. β
A sense of foreboding swept over her body, and Merandiel could see at a glance what was on the paper stretched out in front of her face.
Although the beautiful text on the thin paper could be seen to be in Thrandil's handwriting, the content was that Merandil had written in a letter and sent it to the Elven King in various ways. This kind of letter, which both parties knew could not be known to others, had made Merandil, who was in dire need of the Elven King's assistance, unabashedly his thoughts. He also knew very well that the contents of the previous letters had been re-presented in front of his eyes, and they were written by the Elven King himself, not to recall the relationship of mutual trust in the early days of the establishment of diplomatic relations, but to warn.
In line with the Elven King's remarks just now, Merandil understood what Thrandil meant.
What he means is: If I dare to treat the people badly, he will expose the conspiracy to the public through public letters. Of course, the most important thing is to expose my original intentions that are not so pure.
Merendil glanced at the Elven King silently and made a swallowing motion.
Of course, he has not forgotten what his original intention was. He did write letters openly and honestly about his original intentions. The original intention was to take back his own destiny from the hands of the human emperor by exchanging the support of the people through acts of love. In other words, as long as any living being sees the content of the letter, combined with the ownership of Gondor's real power, it is not difficult to come to a conclusion: King Gondor has successfully used the Gondor people to seize the rights that belong to the human emperor in a caring way. With this conclusion, beings outside of the Gondor will despise themselves, and the Gondor will be angry at being used.
Will ordinary people who care too much about their original intentions see themselves rationally? Merandiel is sure that they can't! The Gondor people in anger and guilt will lose their reason and drive themselves out of Gondor. And even if they had resisted, even if they had asked Valendil back to take over the guardianship of Gondor, would the Emperor be able to put aside his bad past and give the Gondor people endless love?
Thinking of this, Merandil decided to block the publication of the letter. Whatever he could, he was willing to try as long as he could secure the rights and interests of the Gondor people.
"Reveal the truth?" Merandiel, who had always been humble in front of the Elven King, puffed up his chest and took a step towards the Elven King. He said in an aggressive tone: "Revealing the authentic works will not only reveal my original intention to all the creatures in Zhongzhou, but also reveal what you thought at the time. Aren't you afraid?"
"Of course I'm afraid!" raised his hand to light the paper by the candlelight, and the elven king, who kept saying that he was afraid, did not have the slightest fear, but tilted his head and pretended to blink innocently: "However, I am more afraid that the Gondor people will be unhappy." β
"Thurandier, you think clearly! An open letter is not good for me or for you. Can't you see ......?"
"I can see it. Interrupting King Gondor in a loud voice, Thranduil leaned lazily in his chair and said, "This will make all the creatures of the righteous camp despise us, and it will give the Emperor a strong reason to fight back against us." He'll be in a lot of hands with the help of reason. But it won't cause me much trouble, and I'll stay in the woodland from now on. β
The Wood Elves' love for Thrandil, Merandil knew more or less. Thrandil's protection of the Wood Elves was also seen by Merandil. He also knew that Thranduil was telling the truth. Even if the elven king's impure thoughts were made public, the wood elves would most likely only question and condemn himβthis matter was not uncommon for the wood elves to be used by their own kings like the gondor. If you don't get involved in it, you won't have irrepressible anger, and you won't lose your mind under unbearable anger, and you will deny the king you have always loved by just one thing.
What's more, their king's original intention to deal with the human emperor was to preserve the woodland.
Therefore, the open letter will only make me intolerable to my people, and will not cause much trouble to Thranduil.
Merandil was completely crushed. He sat slumped to the side leaning on his desk.
"Merandiel, are you going to belittle the Gondor or make them unhappy?, if you don't have the plan, why be so pessimistic?" In King Gondor's backwater-like eyes, Thranduil handed over a glass of wine, and then said in a gentle manner, "The letter is not made public, it depends entirely on your actions. As always, you care for the people of Gondor, and the letters will always be in my custody. β
