7. The tenacity of diamonds
"Vernor, you've gone too far!" Aurel, who had been holding back all night, took the lead, and the sound of angry roar surrounded the wide hall. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info: "Let's not talk about the things you did to the prince for the time being. Just because of your understanding of the identity of 'advisor', I think you should send more than 10 officials to explain it to you in detail. He left the palace without my instructions for three days, and he didn't even return a letter on the way. Well, that's not to be said. You came to the palace for four days, and three of them went hunting in the wilderness, killing Oakes and bringing back captured weapons to stain the prince's bedroom. And what about our poor prince? How much time do you spend on him? Even when I'm sleeping, it's only a pitiful little bit. Don't forget, you are the prince's advisor. ”
In fact, such a situation will occur, which is completely expected by Orifer. Every creature that has seen Thranduil will seize every opportunity to chase his brilliance. But Vernor would never do it, and this female elf already had the figure of a Sylvan elf in her eyes. The good thing is that she definitely won't think anything wrong about Thrandil, and the downside, of course, Thranduil won't be too important to her.
"I accept your accusations and am willing to accept your punishment. But......" Vernorr straightened up and looked directly at King Aurel. "What the prince needs is the king's company. More and more companionship, about swordsmanship, about how to become a qualified king. ”
"I swear to Vera that I am willing to spend all my free time with the Prince. But the prince simply did not want to stay with me for too long. He prefers to be exposed to new faces and things. Like you, like Miranda. ”
"I sometimes really suspect that King Orifer is two people." Vernor shook a wry smile and folded his hands over his chest in apology. "Otherwise, why would our greatest Elven King be as stupid as a mindless Oaks when dealing with the prince's problems? Something new, and who else in this country can master more new things than you? Who better than you? Recall what you said to the prince, who never let him discover what he had mastered, or even persuade him to stay away from anything new. 'If you see Oakes retreat immediately, they are the dirtiest, and even killing them will stain your robes......' How, then, could such a strange language pass through the mouth of a king to a crown prince? ”
A hint of fierceness flashed across Aurel's handsome face, and finally disappeared under his embarrassed wink. "For your disrespectful attitude of daring to compare me to Oaks and stupidity, I will reserve my punishment for you for the time being."
He let out a long sigh of relief, and his tone softened. "Vernor, your father has three children, and you and your sisters, no one has ever enjoyed a father's love alone, so it's normal that you can't understand me. I have only one child, Thranduil, and there is no one in the world who loves him more than I do. After he began to understand things, I taught him how to command the army and how to use the bow and arrow. If he could go on like this, he would definitely be a qualified king by now. But when he was 49 years old, his mother died......"
The Elven King sighed heavily, and the two hands on the armrests increased a little harder. "No matter how humble the inferior elf, no matter how many children the family is, they can still enjoy the love of father and mother at the same time, but the prince never has such an opportunity again. I blame him for this, because I didn't protect his mother. Whenever I saw the prince and thought that he had received half as much love as anyone else, I tried to compensate him in every way I could. He would not be willing to expose him to danger, even if he had the slightest chance! I will never allow my only relative, like my wife. Can you understand this love? ”
"I can understand your feelings for the prince, but with all due respect, it's not love at all." Ignoring the other's shock, Vernor's eyes quickly swept over the King's shelf, and then she walked briskly to the front of the shelf, grabbing a multicolored crystal ball. "Do you think that putting the crystal ball in the partition of the display rack can guarantee its absolute safety?"
There was a "ding" sound, and the crystal ball that fell on the ground shattered. The fragments reflected a multicolored brilliance that affected Orifer's vision, but it didn't stop him from speaking.
"That's enough, Vernor. You've done bad enough today. ”
"No, it's not enough." Playing with a sense of humor, Vernoll abandoned the nearest statue of the golden horse, and instead took the more expensive crystal pen with a huge diamond on top and threw it at Aurel's feet. "Only by refining a crystal into a diamond, the strongest and toughest item in the world, can it be guaranteed that it will not be harmed. Your Majesty, don't you really understand that loving a creature is not about doing everything you can to protect him, but about helping him grow into a diamond-like creature that can disintegrate any danger and solve all difficulties? I have to sigh that the excellent bloodline of you and the queen has created the elven prince of the Great Green Forest. At the age of seventy, he mastered the skills of commanding tens of thousands of elite troops, and he already had the qualities of a diamond, but what about you? Your so-called 'love' did not make this diamond shine even more, but it dimmed it and even began to transform it into a fragile product. ”
The diamond crystal pen drew a graceful bow in the air and landed on Aurel's delicate leather boots. The rebound force generated by the high-quality leather delayed the crushing fate of the crystal pen by 2 seconds, and finally scattered in pieces on the smooth ground. Only the giant diamond as the top ornament of the pen remained in its original form, and after bouncing off the ground twice, it lay quietly on it, reflecting a more intense light.
"Oh, this is the pen that the queen used when she was alive. You're in luck. At this point, I didn't feel a little sad about the breakage," Orifer slowly bent down and gently pinched the diamond with his two slender fingers. He lifted the diamond high and made it spin in the sun. Then he retracted his fingers and wrapped the diamond in the palm of his hand. "No living creature would dare to talk to me with such an attitude. You did, and oddly enough, I had no intention of punishing you at all. I agree with you, Vernor. Turning the creature I love into a resilient diamond can be said to be the best protection for him, and it can also be said to be the best way for a king to succeed in the future. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Vernor bent down her noble waist and knelt for the first time in front of Aurel. "I am honored to receive your recognition. Let our prince of the forest shine like a diamond. Only in this way will the Great Green Forest have the power to never be destroyed, and even if my relatives and the spirits of the Great Green Forest cannot be refined into diamonds, they can still be blessed by him. ”
