The two walked as they spoke, and soon arrived at the garden of the palace.

Suddenly realizing that this was not the way back to Arthas's dormitory, Oryx was just wondering when he stopped and gestured into the garden.

He followed the trail and saw a shadow, praying prayer in front of the statue of the Terenas couple.

"Go, she's been waiting for you," said Arthas, "and she'll want to see you at dinner." But Katrana was there, and I didn't let her come. ”

Oryx looked at Arthas in embarrassment, but only saw a smile on the other person's face, and couldn't help but be even more embarrassed......

"Go ahead, don't keep her waiting. I'm too tired today, I'm going to rest, you can go back by yourself later, don't forget to look at the papers on the table when you go back, while you're not there, Garissus proposed to me a new defense plan for Eastern Lordaeron, you have to find a way to reach a consensus with this legion commander, otherwise if Eastern Lordaeron doesn't have a unified voice, everything will be difficult to do......"

Arces said and left him here and left the garden on his own.

Oryx stood still for a long time before stepping slowly into the garden.

At midnight, the moon was thick.

Through the patio, a ray of moonlight shone down, enveloping the statue of the Tyrenas couple and Princess Galia in front of the statue.

The princess wore a long white dress, knelt on the ground, clasped her hands in prayer, recited the prayer of holy light, and her long golden hair reflected the silver-white light, as if completely blended with the moonlight.

Oryx glanced at the guards in the garden to make sure he had been found, and coughed deliberately.

Galia's body shuddered, apparently recognizing the familiar voice, but she didn't finish her prayer, still maintaining her kneeling position.

Oryx walked up to her, knelt down towards the statue, listened to two of Galia's prayers, and recited them along with the format.

A few minutes later, when the prayer ended, the statue glowed with a faint holy light, as if it were a presence in the dark, receiving a prayer from the two to send blessings to the couple who had died in condemnation.

Galia wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Oryx helped her up and replied, "I just finished the meeting and was about to return home, when I happened to pass by here and found Her Royal Highness the princess there, so I came to have a look. ”

Galia smiled, not exposing his lies—neither the road between the Banquet Hall and the Teleportation Circle, nor the path between Arthas's Quarters and the Teleportation Circle, would pass through the secluded garden.

"How's the meeting?"

"It went well. His Majesty the King and the Stormwind Kingdom ambassadors have reached an agreement that perhaps in future wars, the Stormwind Kingdom will help us in any way they can. ”

The two walked over to the bench and sat down side by side as they had done the last time.

Gallia asked curiously, "What kind of person is that countess?" I've heard that she's very shrewd and capable. ”

Oryx replied quietly, "In all fairness, it is indeed excellent, as it is rumored. ”

In the faint light, Jialia's face couldn't help but darken, and she asked again: "I heard that others call her 'the pearl of the south' and 'black beauty'." ”

Orix couldn't cry or laugh, and secretly said that you care about people's parents, even if you are good-looking, it can't compare with you.

Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, has been sad and overly sad recently. The external environment is turbulent, and the family has suddenly changed dramatically, and it is at the most chaotic juncture of his life. Sentimental about his own weakness, he can only drift with the chaotic tide of history, but he has no ability to control his own destiny......

In short, I am very unconfident and confused.

"Julie said she admired you." Galia propped her hands on the edge of her chair and sat down, as if to hide her inner uneasiness with this gesture.

Julie is the older maid who has served her for many years and has been doing her best to assist Orrix. is half a nurse and half a servant of the eldest princess, thinking about what the master thinks, worrying about the master, and being a cronie among the cronies.

Oryx muttered thoughtfully, "This ...... I didn't pay attention because I saw her like a man. ”

Jialia was stunned for a moment, and soon smiled, her face was full of gloom, she turned her head to look at Orix, and saw a smile on his face, and suddenly understood, it turned out that the other party had seen through her thoughts and deliberately said this kind of thing to ease her heart.

For a moment, she was glad that Orrix had himself in his heart, and she felt a little shy.

But it was as if a layer of window paper had been pierced unconsciously, which made her feel extremely relieved, and there was no sorrow at all.

"Hmm...... The last time you said that no one could lick their elbows, were you lying to me? She suddenly remembered something, and her voice was slightly raised.

Oryx was amazed and asked incredulously, "Could it be that Your Highness the Princess can lick your elbow?" ”

Jialia's face turned red all of a sudden, and she said with a little anger: "No, I can't lick it, but this action is too indecent!" ”

Indecent?

Oryx was confused, he couldn't understand why the action of licking his elbows was indecent?

"Try it yourself!" Jialia said shy and angry.

So Oryx tried, but couldn't find anything.

It wasn't until Galia patted him on the chest that it dawned on him......

It turns out that this action will squeeze the white rabbit!

He thought for a moment, and in his mind, the amusing image of Jialia trying to lick her elbow in the boudoir surrounded by no one popped up - some poor big rabbit, because of the inward movement of the same arm, squeezed on the little sister on the other side, and with a click, broke the collar of the pajamas......

O my light!

Oryx hadn't thought about it at all, and the trivia that had been written in the letter as a little pleasure now seemed to be a real teasing.

"Your Royal Highness, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that......" he hurriedly explained.

Jialia stared at him, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile, "It turns out that saints are also embarrassed." ”

Oryx has lived for two or twenty years, experienced the rewriting of history, endured the terrible consequences brought about by this, died once, nearly 100 near-deaths, and slaughtered tens of thousands of insects.

He scratched his head with a sneer, and said frankly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I think this may be just a matter of concern." ”

Galia's face flushed again, "You're too blunt, Lord Rivendell. ”

"Please accept my sincerest apologies, Your Highness the Eldest Princess." Oryx sat down in his chair in a pretended posture and bowed, and inadvertently, the top of his head swept the hair that fell from the other's ear.

Jialia's face became redder and redder, "It's not early, let's go back." ”

"Well, I'm going back to the territory too, and there's still something to deal with over there."

"Have a safe journey...... Don't forget to write to me. ”

"Yes."

……

The two said goodbye to each other.

Oryx took the portal back to the mansion, took a deep breath, put aside the situation for a while, and allowed himself to return to work, pushing open the door to the brightly lit "office".

Old Langton and the two assistant librarians were still busy in the piles of papers.

After saying hello, he walked over to his desk and, as Arthas had instructed, unwrapped the envelope from Galliss' "New Defense Plan."

After two glances, his good mood vanished. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
