243. Avoid self-blame

On the fourth day, Furnor, who had been rejected again, stood outside the king's bedchamber and saw the twelfth barrel of wine coming from afar with the squire, and she went straight up and snatched the barrel in her hand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info only then got the opportunity to enter in the name of delivering wine, when the elf king didn't know her true identity.

Despite her mental preparation, she was taken aback by the situation in the dormitory.

All the curtains were drawn, and the liquor scent of the dormitory was lit only by the delicate glow of the jewels. With the faint glow of the jewels, the first thing Vernorr saw was the empty wine bottle that had been discarded on the ground, and when she looked in the direction of the wine bottle, she could not find the figure of the Elven King, and the hoarse and almost weak voice had already come from her left.

"Put the wine down and go out immediately." Thranduil, who hadn't even opened his eyes, didn't know who the attendant was delivering the wine, but continued to curl up in the dark corner near the door, urging. Then he heard the sound of the barrel on the ground, and the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer.

"Didn't you tell you to put down your wine and quit immediately?" Thranduil, who was slightly furious, frowned and opened his eyes, and after seeing who the elf in front of him was, he pressed the word "retreat" back to his mouth, and at the same time he turned his head sideways and covered his face with his hands - he really didn't want the other party to see him like this.

"Vernor, why are you here? I...... I don't want to see you yet. ”

"I'm worried about you......" The voice was a little farther away, and after a moment of silence, it sounded with worry and self-reproach. If it weren't for me leaving the palace because of Mino, you wouldn't have rushed back in a hurry, and you wouldn't have ended the military exercise early, and the Graton Plains disaster wouldn't have happened. It's all my fault, you don't want to see me, are you afraid that when you see me, you will remember these things, and you will feel even more guilty? ”

"What are you talking about?" The Elven King turned his head and stared at Vernor with red and swollen eyes, and retorted, "What does the Graton disaster have to do with you?" I won't do anything if I don't hold a military exercise in Graton Plains! I don't want to see you for the time being, I just don't want you to see a broken king. ”

In the faint light, Thranduil clearly saw the hands of the female elf unconsciously entangled, but in a tone that contrasted strongly with the tangled actions, she said firmly: "What does it have to do with the death of the Emperor of Man when you hold a military exercise on the Graton Plains? You are the Elven King, as long as you don't invade the territory of any living being, where do you want to hold a military exercise, no living being is qualified to raise doubts. Essidor's death to the Lord of the Rings was not due to the Elven King's joint military exercises. ”

"Yes. Essidor had died of the Ring, but ...... struggled to hold out his hand to Vernor, and it was not until the elf hesitated for a moment, then came over and gently supported his hands through the gloves, that Thranduil could say what she had been tormenting for the past few days.

"Four hundred innocent Dandens, three pure-blooded Danden princes are gone. It is true that Essidor left the Ring of the Ring, but the pure royal blood of the Danden people was completely severed in Middle-earth, and only a few of the more than 400 humans who accompanied him survived, and the origin of all the tragedies was because of my selfishness. Finding that Vernorr was completely stunned by what he said, Thranduil moved forward so that his head could rest lightly on his shoulder.

When I tell me the real reason why the exercise is set on Graton Plains, she'll be away from me forever, right? A king who has cut off the bloodline of the human royal family for his own petty selfish desires is indeed too evil to be followed by good beings. Perhaps, this was the last time Vernore came into contact with me?

With this in mind, the Elven King simply rested his head directly on Vernor's lap. While wrapping his hands around the other, he heard Vernoll ask in a slightly stunned voice, "The origin is your selfishness?" Isn't it as you said that the military exercise should be held on the Gladon Plains, because the open terrain of the Graton Plains is more conducive to the training of soldiers? ”

"In the Graton Plains, in fact, the most important reason is ......" Thranduil closed his eyes, ready to be slapped, and then said in a weak voice: "I don't want Ziryan to come to the woodland again." Every time he comes, he asks about you, and I can only find a way to force the emperor to return to Arnor and let Zilyan end his journey between the two countries. I didn't expect to kill so many humans. ”

More than 400 Danden people, three excellent human princes, and pure Danden royal blood, were buried in vain because of such a selfish desire. Not to mention the kind Vernor, Thranduil himself has no way to forgive himself. However, he waited a long time for the imaginary slap.

The Elf King, who felt a little weird, looked up and saw that the blue eyes exposed outside the silver mask were overflowing with tears, but there was no sense of anger in the slightest. In the eyeballs that imprinted the image of Okpa, a substance called tenacity slowly devoured other emotions and shot in his face. Along with the tenacious gaze arrived, Vernor's gloved hands. The female elf, who should have given herself a powerful slap in the face, actually said firmly: "Who said that you killed them? The Elven King didn't kill any living beings, they all died by their own decisions! ”

When asked where the exercise would take place, Vernorr and Elrond had almost the same attitude - opposition. However, the Elven King insisted that the Graton Plains was more suitable for military training, and had made proper reinforcement arrangements for the protection of Ringu, so Vernorr could not say anything more. The military aspect is not her strong point in the first place, so naturally she will not say anything more in this regard. As for the safety of the Emperor's return to the country, only the admiring Vernoer of the Golden Flower Lord believed in his prophecy 100%. A military exercise will not cause any substantial damage to the Danden soldiers who are good at fighting and the Lord of the Rings. So after learning of the disaster on Graton Plains, it took a certain amount of time for Vernoer to suppress the sense of self-blame in his heart.

Vernor's self-reproach was certainly not for the tragic death of Essidor!

She stubbornly believed that she had left the palace without permission, so that the elf king, who could not take care of both ends, ended the military exercise early, and also made the three human princes and the accompanying humans become the burial companions of the human emperor. But she didn't expect that the Elf King, who didn't care much about other races, actually locked herself in the locked dormitory, and with the attitude of not seeing any living beings, Vernoer found that it was the Elf King who needed to adjust his mentality the most.

No living creature can feel guilty and blame for this disaster, but Thranduil cannot!

The Elven King, who guards the entire woodland kingdom, can't have any doubts about himself because of self-blame.
