Thinking of these things, Varian hurriedly discerned. "Trust me, Tiffin! I actually went to the Watch Fortress, and it was Katrana who informed me of the Stormwind riots on the way, and I rushed back in the stars. I didn't want to go to the church square and see you assassinated......"

Thea looked at him in confusion, as if she was carefully discerning the truth of his words.

"Tiffin, you know me too well...... I knew myself better than I thought, I thought I had covered it well, but I didn't expect you to notice it...... I just don't want you to be angry, you're not in good health......" Varian explained in vain, remembering the old days.

He knew that immediately after Tiffin had quit Bolval early at that ball without saying goodbye, there had been a private trivial rumor maliciously orchestrating an affair between her and Bolval.

Of course he knew why—and if he had doubted it, he would have let go of his affection for Tiffin and reconsider the queen's choice.

He knew that Bolval and Tiffin were childhood sweethearts, and the intuition of the man in his heart also told him that maybe Bolval had a ** admiration for Tiffin.

But he looked at her and knew it was all fake.

His Tiffin was as clear and transparent as crystal, and at a glance you could see the purity of her heart, without the slightest pretentiousness or gloomy scheming. She is like a fountain of holy light, which can wash away the uneasiness and panic in his heart, and make him calm and warm.

He couldn't give up on her, and he wouldn't give up on her.

Not only did he marry Tiffin as promised, but he also accepted Bolval into the upper echelons of Stormwind City out of political considerations and recognition of his talents. At the same time, the rumors gradually dispelled under his covert control.

He was relieved at the time, but he didn't know that this rumor was only temporarily dormant under the temporary suppression, and it would attack with a more terrifying and ferocious posture at some point in the future.

And this fuse was the birth of Anduin.

"Have you seen the little prince?" Passing by the garden, he heard a few maids sitting under a bush talking softly, and when he heard about his son, he couldn't help but stop and listen to what others had to say about his son.

"Of course, the little prince is really amazing, and he looks really like the queen. He will definitely be an excellent handsome boy in the future! The other maid smiled. Especially that golden curly hair, which is completely different from His Majesty, is completely inherited from Her Majesty the Queen! ”

Varian's heart was filled with warmth and pride, but the next sentence made his heart fall like an ice kiln.

"The Queen? Scold! Another shrill female voice rang out. The vicious dissatisfaction in his tone could not be hidden. "Why don't you say that the blonde hair is the same as that of Lord Bolval?"

"O Holy Light! You, how can you say such a thing, and be heard! The other maid hurried to cover her mouth.

The maid argued to herself: "I didn't say this alone, who doesn't know in the whole Stormwind City?" His Majesty's hair was brown, but the prince was blonde. Is it really just the inheritance of the queen alone? Even the civilians of the lower city know about it! ”

"Anyway, don't say any more, this is the palace, if your majesty hears it, no, whoever hears it. We're all miserable. The other maid pulled her away uneasily. Go away, and if you like to say something like that, go back to your Pig and Whistle Inn and have a good time, and don't bother me. ”

Varian, who was eavesdropping, gritted his teeth, and the corners of his forehead burst out. Both hands had already clenched into fists and their joints turned white.

Who is it? Who is spreading such terrible and vicious rumors!

He had to find out the source of this rumor, punish the damn initiator, and curb the damn rumor. He didn't want to imagine how sad Tiffin would be if he heard the rumor.

But strangely, this time he couldn't find out the source of the rumor. And the scandal about the queen and the high-ranking grand duke is undoubtedly what the people like to talk about the most...... He can't block it, and he doesn't dare to block it.

This thing. Soon even Bolval knew, and Bolval even went directly to him and asked to fight on the front lines of the battlefield to get out of Stormwind. But he refused.

On the one hand, it was because he believed that Tiffin and Bolval, who had grown up together since childhood, and if they really had a personal relationship, it should have happened a long time ago, but they always treated each other politely, and never crossed the line. On the other hand, he understands even more. Now their every move is being watched, and if Bolval leaves now, I am afraid that someone with a heart will paint things darker and darker.

The only thing Varian can do is wait for time to pass and for the populace to find a new topic. When Anduin grows up and looks more and more like him, at that time, the rumors will naturally be self-defeating.

All of this is hidden from Tiffin. Unexpectedly, it was such a well-intentioned concealment that caused the careful Tiffin's misunderstanding, which eventually led to disaster.

Listening to Varian's clumsy explanation, Shia looked at her current husband's face with blurred teary eyes,

Can she let go? Those resentments that had been hidden in her heart for a long time, after tormenting her countless days of rebirth and awakening, after she had become what she is now?

For a long time, she smiled bitterly.

"Now that Your Majesty wants the answer, Your Majesty has gotten it, is Your Majesty satisfied?"

Hearing this rustic and indifferent "Your Majesty", Varian sighed heavily, knowing that after this conversation, there was already a huge and ugly chasm between them.

Varian got out of bed, walked to the window, opened the curtains, and pushed the window open.

Shia had no idea what Varian was thinking or doing.

Without looking back, Varian walked straight to the small terrace outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and after a moment, he said, "Come here!" There was an unmistakable commanding tone in his tone.

Thea walked obediently towards him.

It was already dark outside the window. But after the rain, the night sky is exceptionally bright, and the moon is bright and starry.

In the distance, in the night sky, an inky black figure rapidly approached them. Eventually, she landed on the small terrace, where Thea realized that it was a Cenarion-horned eagle.

"It's ......"

"Let's go."

The words that suddenly fell into her ears made Thea look at Varian in surprise.

The white moonlight shone on Varian's expressionless face, like a cold statue carved out of marble, and Xia felt inexplicably sad.

Varian said calmly and coldly, "You're right, Tiffin is dead. ”

The ghost wolf in his heart kept clawing at his heart, and he was suffering from it with such a blank face, mechanically saying what he should have said as King of Wrynn.

Thea's expression had changed from initial surprise to calm, and she lowered her head, and when she raised her head again, there was already a smile on her face. The smile was as warm as ever, but Varian's heart was about to tear apart in pain.

He took the bag from his waist and handed it to Thea. "In the future, take care of yourself, Tiffin ......"

One last time, he whispered her name with infinite tenderness.

One last time, he lovingly removed the messy strands of hair stuck to her face and tucked them behind her ears.

One last time, his warm lips fell on hers, soft and warm, just as he had done when he had sworn that she was his wife in church......

Only this time, the beautiful and soft cherry lips are no longer warm, and they are cold to the bone.

A tear fell from Shia's eyes.

As she tried to wipe the tear away, Varian's hand was already one step ahead of hers.

The warrior's slightly rough fingers wiped away the tear steadily and firmly.

Thea's hand fell on his, her hand trembling slightly.

"You're free, Thea the Forsaken!" Varian said, his voice as steady as ever. He himself didn't understand why he was able to control his voice so unimaginably without a hint of trembling.

He had a lot to say to her, he wanted to say, to keep her away from the general of the Undercity, he wanted to say that he would definitely go to her, when Anduin grew up, when he was no longer King of Wrynn. He also wanted to say many, many more......

But all he heard was his own cold voice, "Don't appear in the human realm anymore." The queen of Stormwind is dead, cremated, and buried in the royal cemetery of Stormwind. ”

Even though the smile on Thea's face never moved at the slightest hearing these words, Varian knew that the warm power in that smile was gone, and all that remained was a mask to hide her true heart, just like him who was wearing the mask of the king's majesty at this moment.

Thea's hand stretched out slightly, as if trying to caress the scar on his face, but she seemed to immediately realize that her behavior was inappropriate, and awkwardly changed her movements, and saluted him. Then she flipped onto the back of the Hippogriff and patted it vigorously on the beautiful neck. The horned eagle flapped its wings and gradually circled into the sky.

"Goodbye, Your Majesty. I will never be in front of you again. Thea's words were gently brought to his ears by the wind.

No...... It wasn't something he was going to hear.

Varian watched as the horned eagle flew into the sky with her, turning into a tiny dot in the white moon. He had been intellectually suppressing the urge to rush to save her, and at the cost of his hands being numb by his pinching.

He had been standing there in that position, looking at the sky.

Why is he still waiting?

What is he waiting for? When the horned eagle beast miraculously came to him again, did she say that she would stay with him if she was not gone?

What a stupid delusion!

Knowing that this is their common choice, why is he still looking forward to starting all over again until now?

Varian stood on the terrace until the moon slid into the sky, the morning sun returned to the earth, and the sky began to glow.

Pedestrians began to appear on the streets of Theramore, and the city began to be noisy.

It's a new day.

And he knew that he had lost her again.
