Thea lay on her bed tired, tears streaming from her eyes soaking the sheets beneath her.

So many years have passed...... She was no longer the young and ignorant girl she used to be, and wasn't one death enough to make her understand the sinister heart and the naivety of her ways.

Xu was too quiet, she clearly heard someone knocking on the door in the outer room, and then Varian going to open the door, but she didn't hear the other party enter the room, it should be that he walked out of the room directly and talked to the other party.

Who's coming?

She didn't know, but she soon heard Varian go back to his room and close the door.

And she didn't really want to think about anything, about her tomorrow, Varian's decisions, and the person in Stormwind who she didn't even dare to think about......

For the first time, she wondered if her return to the world was a mistake.

"Squeak ......"

The door to the inner chamber was opened again.

"Something to eat?" Varian walked in, plate in hand.

"I'm not hungry." Thea shrank awkwardly to the other side of the bed, turning her back and wiping away tears from her face.

Varian placed the plate on the table, but his eyes fell on the tear stains on the sheets.

"Since you're not hungry, let's rest for a while." Varian lay beside her.

Thea shrank slightly to the side uneasily, turning sideways to leave him with a back.

Varian lay down with his arms folded under his head, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, as if he could see an answer that only he understood.

In the still, silent air, only the slight breathing and heartbeat of his own could be heard.

Sure enough, the ** person around me is dead after all. His gaze as he stared into nothingness gradually dimmed.

The light reflected on the curtains outside the window gradually dimmed, and night fell, and the room became darker and darker.

For such a long time, both of them were silent.

"You really don't want to talk to me?" Eventually, Varian spoke up and broke the deadlock.

Seeing that Thea didn't answer, he continued to talk to himself. "There is one thing that has been weighing on my heart for all the years of your death. Originally. I thought I would never know the answer......"

Sia finally turned around, her eyes staring at him for a moment with her eyes that were exceptionally clear from the moistening of her tears. "What does Your Majesty want to ask me?"

Varian was still staring blankly at the ceiling, his tone unhurried. "I never understood why you hated me like that before you died...... For six years. I've been thinking about that day, that look. What do you hate about me? I didn't think I'd ever know the answer for the rest of my life. But now you're back with me. Again, I thought I didn't need this answer anymore. I could have slowly resolved the misunderstanding between you and me, and now ......" Varian finally turned to look at her, his brown eyes full of confusion. "I beg you, tell me. Tiffin, you hate me - what the hell are you hating about me? ”

As if the shadow in her heart was suddenly exposed to the sun, Xia couldn't hide her surprise and uneasiness, and sat up half-on the ground. She opened her mouth slightly, but she didn't know what to say. Biting his lip again, he lowered his head and went back to lie down.

What should she say?

She silently curled up in a ball, buried her face deep between her knees, and hugged herself tightly with her arms, as if such a gesture would give her warmth and security.

Be!

Only for that moment, she hated.

Unforgettable hatred. This hatred has become her deepest memory even before she becomes a forgotten person and even has no recollection.

She didn't know how to face that kind of suspicion, and at that moment she wanted to die herself. And she did die like that. Thea hates herself like that, resentful, ugly herself. So when she got along with Lagash, Lagash didn't remember, and she pretended not to remember. It was a wound she had better never touch, because it was still there. It still hurts when you touch it, and it still bleeds when you touch it.

In the face of her passive resistance, Varian knew he had to say something first. Even if such a thing was painful for him, he still had to say it.

He said in a jerky tone, "Actually...... Before. There have been rumors that you have a lover......"

Thea turned her face in disbelief and stared at him with wide eyes, but she didn't interrupt him, and listened to him with a cold face.

"I'm sorry......" Varian dodged her with a twinkle in his eyes. I ......"

"What does Your Majesty want to say, I'm sorry?" Thea's gaze was cold. Finally couldn't help but interrupt him. "Your Majesty wants to know why I hate you, doesn't you?"

"Tiffin ......"

The corners of Thea's mouth showed a smile that was sadder than crying.

"The Masons' Guild is dissatisfied with the arrears of the Council of Nobles, and my good offices have been of no avail...... That...... In that sudden riot, Katrana said to me! She spoke clearly and categorically, "She said - Your Majesty did not go to the Watchfort at all, but secretly stayed in Stormwind to wait to see if Bolval and I had any misdeeds!" The whole of Stormwind knows! His Majesty suspects that Anduin is a child of Berval! And all this is just me being kept in the dark! ”

"What? She says this to you! Varian sat up in shock, his gaze meeting Thea's disgruntled eyes. The anger and grievance burning in her eyes were like a bullet through his will, and the intense guilt and pain gripped his heart, so oppressive that he couldn't say anything for a while.

He couldn't help but reach out to catch Thea.

"Don't touch me!" Thea hit him hard, but he couldn't resist Varian's strength and was caught by him. She resisted angrily and violently, causing Varian to reluctantly suppress her almost frantic struggles with his body.

Thea bit her lower lip motionlessly, staring only at Varian's eyes with resentment.

"I thought you were hiding something from me. However, I thought I had put all my life on Anduin and snubbed you and made you unhappy. Or maybe I took care of Anduin and caused you trouble by neglecting to manage the court, I never thought that the real reason why you were unhappy was because of this. ”

Xia laughed self-deprecatingly, took a deep breath, and began to talk nonchalantly, as if she wanted to tell all the grievances that were almost buried in the deepest part of her heart. This old wound was like a scar that had not healed, once it was pierced, the blood and toxins in it gushed out, like the flowing water that had been blocked in the reservoir, and now it found an outlet and was about to pour thousands of miles, and even she herself was frightened by the hatred hidden in her heart. Every word she uttered was like a double-edged sword, stabbing Varian deep and herself, but she couldn't control the tyrannical anger in her heart that was desperate to destroy everything.

In fact, only she understands that there is that person in a corner of her heart that she is buried deep in. But she understood too late, and by the time she realized that her feelings for him were far greater than the friendship and affection she had thought they had, she was destined to be Varian's wife. So, she let herself give up, this young and ignorant relationship that ended before it began.

And they actually slandered her like that...... and him.

She is wronged, she is unwilling, she has been doing her duty since marrying him, being his good wife, a good queen, she has really done her best to control her will and behavior, and will never be alone with Bolval unless necessary. She even deliberately distanced herself from Bolval, keeping her farther away from him than she had ever been in her youth, when she had never understood her feelings.

She said to herself that she was Varian's wife. She can only ** her husband alone.

Even if she takes 10,000 steps back, she's just that.

But Boval, he was innocent and innocent, and to the knight, his reputation was more important than his life, but he had been wronged for her.

Thea remembered Bolval's crisp smiling face, and tears fell straight from her eyes. She instinctively tried to cover her eyes with her hand, only to find that it was being pulled tightly by Varian.

"Nope! I swear to you! In my father's name," Varian swore in her cold hand, staring into her tearful, ghostly eyes, carefully and slowly word by word. "I never doubted that Anduin wasn't my child! I believe in you, and in Bolval. ”

Hearing this, a sneering smile appeared on Thea's face. "Then why are you in Stormwind? You told me you went to the Watch Castle with your army, but you showed up in Stormwind! ”

Varian gasped, he finally understood why Katrana had so strongly encouraged him to send troops to the Watch Fortress and urgently begged him to return to Stormwind.

It turned out that Katrana had been planning all this in secret.

At first, he spread false rumors, which made him uneasy, and in order not to make Tiffin sad, he deliberately concealed such rumors as Tiffin.

When Tiffin saw him who was not supposed to be in Stormwind, she immediately misunderstood what he was hiding and believed Catlana's words, believing that he was really hiding in Stormwind because she suspected that she had an ulterior relationship with Berval, so Tiffin, who felt betrayed and deceived, was so distraught that she was so easily captured by the assassins and died with a grudge against him.

And he was also grief-stricken after Tiffin's death, and he didn't even want to think about everything that happened in between, so he thought that Tiffin's death was just an accidental tragedy under the riot, and he never doubted Katlana, and even continued Tiffin's trust in her during his lifetime, and entrusted the palace affairs to her management.

Varian almost wanted to roar - the cunning she-dragon had deceived everyone with a mutually concealed asymmetrical message.
