One "can promise a false lie, so that the common people can rest assured." Ambassador Kremar put away the sadness on his face, and he was slightly agitated, so much so that the long eyebrows in the corners of his eyes were raised. It won't be long before our prince will return triumphantly, and he will deliver us and his people once and for all! ”

Looking at Ambassador Kremmar's excited face, Locke couldn't bear to look at it, so he turned his head to the side.

You may never dream that when your prince returns, it will be when he betrays you. It was also when the Battle of the Sunwell officially began. At that time, your Quel'Salas will be completely demoralized, and you will be completely devastated.

At this moment, in a side hall of the Sun-Chasing Royal Court, an elven ranger was looking at the office desktop full of official documents and worried. There were so many reports, secret letters, orders, and forms that he wanted to shred them all.

These things were piled up to the height of a chocobo, and they staggered on top of each other, threatening to fall to the ground at any moment, as evidenced by recent reports of Quel'Thalas's Scourge of the Undead and Trolls, as well as the attacks of the Heartbreaker.

You'll have to wait for yourself to deal with it.

"Alas,"

Lotherma let out a long sigh and leaned back in her chair, where there was a spare space in the middle of the desk directly across from him. There was an open envelope with Noris' personal seal facing him.

Norris had already said a lot of good things for the human, but Lotherma had deliberately ignored the human paladin who lived in the Traveler's Dream.

Ever since the Prince's captivity, he has developed a sense of distrust of humanity.

He trusts Noris' opinion and believes that Noelis will not betray Quel'Thalas. Even though she is now an official of the human kingdom and the lover of the human noble, he will still not change this.

It's just that he can't get over that hurdle in his heart.

Just then, there was a knock on the door to the room, and Haduron entered. As his friend and his subordinate, Haduron has always been his left arm and right hand and is deeply trusted by him.

Haduron asked briefly. "Have you decided not to meet the human paladin?"

Lotherma rubbed her head and shook her head.

"But he's already on his way to the Sun-Seeking Court."

Lotherma Horan looked at Haduron at his desk, "What's going on?" How did I not know? Whose arrangement is this? ”

Haduron didn't speak, he just looked at Lotherma quietly. Soon Lotherma realized something, and he suddenly stood up from his chair, slamming his hands on the desk with a loud bang.

The mountains of papers on the table fell to the floor.

Lotherma let out a loud roar!

"Haduron! How can you arrange my actions?!!! ”

"You are appointed by the prince! The current regent of Quel'Salas! The whole kingdom now needs you to guide you! You can't let Quel'Thallas lose her way because you're thin! ”

Haduron didn't budge either, his eyes widening as he glared at Lotherma.

But humanity is a bunch of treacherous, greedy, ignorant and stupid little people! Do you know?!! "They can't be trusted!" They betrayed us!! ”

He was a little heartbroken for his friend, but this time he didn't stand by him, was he really too paranoid?

"But do we still have a choice??!!! Haduron said angrily, "The entire southern part of the kingdom has fallen! Only Taquilin and the other temples are still struggling to hold on! They are now firmly besieged by the Scourge Legion, and I can only let the Flame Eagle Force risk their lives every day to deliver a pitiful supply of supplies! ”

"Now, even the Eternal Song Forest has begun to appear as a large-scale army of the undead. Lords and nobles everywhere are desperately hoping that I can send an army to the rescue! ”

"Orient! The fortress of the forest trolls, Zuaman! There was another trumpet from inside! What does this mean? You know better than I do!! ”

"Do we have to pick and choose at this time? Do we have a choice?!! ”

Hadurun, who had said so much in one breath, walked to the corner of the room. I took a bottle of Bordeaux from the wine shelf there, bit off the cap and drank it in a big gulp.

Lotherma regained his composure, and for a moment he did not speak, he looked at his best friend quietly. He understands his best friend's suffering, and he does. It's just that he is unwilling to give up the persistence in his heart.

But now, I may not be able to hold on to it.

"Lotherma, you're no longer a Ranger General now, in other words, you're not a Ranger anymore." Haduron said with some sternness, "You are now the regent of Quel'Thalas!" In the absence of the Prince, you represent the whole of Quel'Thalas! ”

"We all know that! And you," Haduron sighed as he put down the bottle in his hand, "you're not fully into the role yet. ”

"I—" Lotherma was speechless for a moment, staring at the paperwork on the floor in front of her desk in a daze.

"My friend, you were a traveler. But now, you can no longer think in the shoes of a far-traveler. ”

"We consulted His Highness on this matter yesterday, and His Highness did not approve of it, but he did not disagree with it in any way. This proves that Your Highness has no intention of doing this, and you can make your own decisions. ”

Haduron took a deep breath, turned and walked towards the door, and before leaving, he said, "I'll ask Kremar to take that human nobleman around the city a few more times. You have about an hour to decide if you don't see it. Whatever the end result, I'm here to support you. ”

The door slammed shut, and Lotherma heard Hadurun's footsteps, moving farther and farther away.

Lotherma sighed alone, ignoring the paperwork all over the floor, and went to the window to look at the island of Quelldanus opposite.

He absentmindedly tucked the curtain in his hand and rolled it unconsciously, overlooking the garden of the Sunfury Tower. As if hearing what Haduron said, you are no longer a Ranger General, in other words, you are no longer a Ranger now.

yes, I really didn't realize this, I wasn't a ranger a long time ago.

Lotherma unconsciously fiddled with the curtains in his hands, the fabric of which began to wear out due to the excessive force of his hands, and he didn't notice them at all.

It seems that I am indeed a little paranoid.

Quel'Thalas's interests should not be influenced by his own emotions at any time.

So......

Perhaps, I should have let Norris in?

Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared on Lotherma's face, and even the one-eyed became much brighter.
