Vernor's face flushed with guilt, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Knowing that Thranduil had no intention of the silver moon at all, he made such a proposal, not that Vernor didn't care about the feelings of the person concerned, but that any living being had higher expectations for the emperor. Just like Elrond and Brian's marriage, it is one thing for the parties to have a love affair with each other, but they still cannot escape the political factor.

The marriage of the superior affects the happiness of the people, and Elrond and Brian tie the knot and give birth to offspring, which the Elves are happy to see. The marriage between Ringu and Lorin determines the cohesion of the righteous faction, and gives good news to all the Middle-earth creatures who believe in Ilu. It can be said that the reason why Thranduil has a calculation in marriage, and even unites with King Sedan, is to rely on the power that the people like to see. If it weren't for the action of the two kings, with the indifferent and calm state of mind of the wise man, and with Galadriel's love for his beloved daughter, this marriage would not have been finalized a hundred years after the war.

And Vernor's proposal was also born out of the expectations of the woodland elves - although she rarely went out of the palace, it did not mean that she did not know the thoughts of the woodland elves. For her own sake, she could not get involved with Thrandil, and for the duke, the king should not go against the will of the people. What's more, Vernoll has always believed that the duty of a king is to protect his people, and to do something that will make his people happy in both public and private affairs, and the king has no right to refuse. But in this way, the king's feelings are inevitably ignored.

From Vera to Zhongzhou, which great king can have too much self?

Laughing wryly at Thranduil, Vernorr turned his face away and said nothing. She knew who Thranduil was now, and she knew what she understood, and so did the Elven King.

After a long silence, Vernoll realized that his hand was fully in Thrandil's palm. After a long sigh, the Elven King's words were no longer angry, only mockery.

He said: "You also say that 'anything that is not true is a reproach.'" As a great king, where do you tell me to go to find the truth to repay the silver moon?"

There are thousands of kings in the world, but the kings who want to rule the country well can be called "ruthless" in a sense.

Only ruthlessness can make the opponent dare not despise oneself and keep one's kingdom on the top; only ruthlessness can one be unrelenting in the face of the enemy, and can the enemy dare not harm one's subjects; and only ruthlessness can one consider problems from the perspective of the people or the country without being affected by individual preferences.

The existence of no evil creatures in the woodland kingdom is the merciless work of the elf king to the enemy; the woodland elves can enjoy a superior life, which is the ruthless creation of the elf king in internal governance; even the order of the woodland kingdom is inseparable from the elf king's ruthlessness to himself. To put it more realistically, even if the current woodland elves committed crimes in foreign countries, they could not be punished by beings other than the elven king. Because the ruthless reputation of the Elf King resounded inside and outside, the allies did not dare to punish the Elf King's people in private, so they could only send the people of the woodland back to the woodland with good food and drink, and then ask the Elf King for an answer.

It can be said that the status of the woodland kingdom today is inseparable from the ruthlessness of the elf king. And Thranduil's ruthless mask has been forged for a hundred years, and Vernor has not failed to add color to the mask. Now that Thranduil has put on this mask and bluntly said that she has no true feelings, how can she refute it?

Besides, the mask was still in Thranduil's hand, and he could take it with him if he wanted to, and throw it away if he wanted to.

However, he himself has said to Thranduil countless times: It is better for a king not to have personal preferences......

"I lost my words. Under the pretext of saluting, he withdrew his hand, and said, "Please forgive your majesty." ”

One of the most annoying things about Thranduil was that during the time he forcibly squeezed out of his solitude, Vernoll kept calling himself "Your Majesty"! In the current Zhongzhou, the creatures who dared to call him generous and called him famous could not get together with one hand, and Vernoer was the one he cared about the most.

"I'll make another arrangement for Yinyue. Don't get her and me together again. Thrandier, who had not taken off the ruthless mask, was chilled, and said coldly: "If you don't remember the national policy that I am not married and unworthy, don't want to regenerate in the land of the woodland, and Rivendell is the same." ”

As soon as the Elven King left, Vernorr quietly breathed a sigh of relief—Thranduil was no longer the king of the woodlands who had just succeeded to the throne at the end of the Second Era, and even when Vernor dealt with him, he was sometimes injured by the king's edge. Standing in front of the temple gate, stopping to look at the palace that had been deliberately made empty by herself, Thranduil also breathed a sigh of relief.

I didn't expect that such a thing as a mask could still play a role when necessary! Looking at her appearance, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to make my other female elves think about something again, right?

Thranduil, who was secretly smug, couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth. But before the pleasant emotions had time to bloom in the heart, they were all rendered by bitterness. Because, what I just said to Vernoll is all true. The sentence "I have been a relative for a hundred years" contains a lot of helplessness and unwillingness.

With Vernore resolutely refusing to accept him, Thranduil had no choice but to treat her as a close relative. I don't know if it's a habit or an illusion brought on by time, but even Thranduil feels that Vernorr is more like an indispensable blood relative to him.

He didn't understand whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, and he didn't understand that certain passions could only appear in youth, but he was sure that his life could no longer tolerate any female elf in a relationship other than kinship. With the psychology of forcibly comforting himself, he said to himself: At least she has been married for a long time, she will continue like this forever, and she can always be treated as a relative by my side.

Thranduil thought beautifully, but the world was always impermanent. Even though the order was issued that night to let Edmund rest for half a month and not to enter the palace again, the relevant officials were summoned the next night.

For others, forced rest may be a good opportunity to relax, but all elves who know Edmund know that resting means not being able to enter the palace to take office, and not being able to enter the palace means not being able to meet the elven king, and not being able to meet the elven king is the most terrible punishment for Edmund. In the days when he couldn't see the elf king, even if he couldn't look at it from afar, Edmund looked listless when he spoke, but now, standing in the middle of the hall, the male elf who was dancing with his eyebrows fluttering and shouting from time to time was not Edmund?

The officials present all looked at each other, and felt that the Woodland Kingdom was becoming more and more strange.
