They'll know I'm asleep and leave the door.

The second knock on the door was more urgent than the first.

A voice came from outside the door - "Lorana." ”

"Wade, tell me tomorrow morning. Lolana tried not to let her voice reveal the annoyance in her heart.

"It's important, Lorana. Wade shouted, "Hubble is next to me." Lorana heard the sound of shoving outside the door.

"Come on, tell her—"

"I don't want it! You made it!"

"But he said it was important, so I-"

"Alright, I'll open the door!!" Lolana said with a sigh. She staggered out of bed, fumbled for the key from the table, unlocked the door, and pulled it open.

"Hey, Lolana!" Wade said lightly as he walked in. "That party was amazing!

Never have I ever eaten a roasted peacock. “

"What's wrong, Wade?" Rolana sighed and closed the door.

Seeing her pale, exhausted look, Hubble poked the Khandians.

Wade gave the dwarf a roll of his eyes and reached into his pocket and pulled out a scroll tied with a blue ribbon.

"A guy who looks like a priest has told me to give this to you, Lolana. Wade said.

"That's it?'" Lolana said impatiently, snatching the scroll from the Kander's hand.

"Probably a marriage proposal. I've received more than two dozen letters last week, not to mention all sorts of other bizarre letters. ”

"No, it's not. "Wade suddenly became serious. "Definitely not that kind of thing, Lorana. It's from—" He stopped suddenly.

'How do you know who sent it?'

Lolana looked at the people of Joy with all her eyes.

"I'm uh, I thought—I accidentally glanced—" Wade was forced to admit.

Then Wade suddenly became more relaxed. "But that's because I'm afraid of disturbing you with unimportant things. Hubble snorted.

"Thank you. Lorana said.

Opening the scroll, she walked to the window and read in the bright moonlight.

"We'll leave you to see it on your own. Hubble said vaguely, dragging the protesting Kander to the door.

"No!wait!" Lolana said silently.

Hubble turned and looked at her alertly.

"Are you alright?" he said, watching her slump in a chair.

"Wade—get Ahsarivana!"

"No, no. No need to find anyone. I don't want to. Do you know what it says?"

She said hoarsely.

"I tried to tell him. Wade said aggrievedly, "But he won't listen to me." ”

With trembling hands, Lolana handed the scroll to Hubble. The dwarf opened it and read it out loud.

"Robert, the half-elf, was wounded in a battle at Minga Fort.

Although he thought he was fine at first, his injuries quickly deteriorated to the point where the Dark Priest could not help.

I ordered him to be taken to the castle of Daga, so that I could take care of him.

Robert knew he was going to die soon. He begged me to allow him to be with you before he died.

so that he can explain everything to you and let his soul rest in peace. ”

"I offer you a quid pro quo. You have one of my officers, Bakaris, who was captured near Minja Fort.

I'm willing to trade Robert for him. The exchange will take place tomorrow morning, in a wooded area outside the city.

Bring Bakaris. If you don't trust us, you can also bring Hubble Stove and Tesochov Bovolt.

No one else is allowed to take with them, and the messenger of this message will be waiting outside the city gates.

See him tomorrow at sunrise. When he's sure everything is okay, he'll escort you to meet the half-elves.

If something goes wrong, you won't be able to see Robert alive. ”

"The reason I would do this is simply because we are both women and can get to know each other. ‘”

"Ella. ”

The three of them fell into an unsettling silence, and then—"Huh!" Hubble snorted, putting the scroll away.

"How can you be so calm!" Rolana snatched the scroll from the dwarf in surprise.

"And you-" Her eyes turned angrily to Tyrokothy, "why didn't you tell me earlier? how long ago did you know that? you know he's dying, how can you still -" Lolana clasped her head in her hands.

Wade looked at him with his mouth wide open. "Lolana. ”

After a moment, he said, "Do you think Robert is really—"

Lorana's head suddenly lifted. Her battered eyes looked first at Hubble and then at Wade.

"You don't believe it's true, do you?"

Of course not!" Hubble said.

"That's right. Wade chimed in. "It's a hoax - given to me by a dragonman! And Ella is now a dragoon.

What is Robert doing with her-" Lorana looked away abruptly.

Wade looked at Hubble's face and felt that she had suddenly aged a lot.

"I see," the dwarf whispered, "we saw you talking to Ella on the Tower of the King, and you weren't just talking about Stone's death, were you?"

Lorana nodded, wordlessly looking at her hands resting on her knees.

"I never told you. She said in a voice so faint that she could barely hear it.

"I can't hold out hope, and Ella says she left Robert at a place called Furosam. Deal with the trivial things that happened after she left. ”

"Liar!" Wade said categorically.

"Not true. Lorana shook her head. She was right when she said that the two women knew each other.

She wasn't lying. She's telling the truth, I can tell.

She also mentioned the dream on that tower. Lorana looked up.

"Do you remember that dream?"

Hubble nodded uneasily. Tyrokosi rubbed his feet.

"The only possibility is that Robert told her about the dream we shared. Lorana continued, swallowing the sensation that seemed to be stuck in her throat.

"I saw her with him in my dreams, just as I saw Stone die.

As a result, the dream came true. ”

"Wait. "Hubble is trying to come back to reality like a drowning man clinging to a float.

"You said you saw your own death in a dream, just after Stone died.

But you're not dead. There weren't any monsters chopping Stone into meat sauce. ”

"I didn't die like I did in my dreams. Wade kindly said, "I've had a lot of locks, oh, not a lot."

A few here, a few there, but none of them are quenched.

And, Lorana, Robert won't-"

Hubble glared at Wade warningly.

The Kandes immediately shut their mouths. But Lolana saw the gaze and understood. She pursed her lips.

"No, he would. Both of you know that. He loved her. Lolana was silent for a while.

Then he said, "I'll go." I'll take Bakaris. ”

Hubble sighed heavily. He had already guessed. "Lorana—"

"Wait, Hubble. She interrupted, "What would Robert do if he received a message that you were dying?"

"That's not the point. Hubble muttered.

"Even if he had to step into hell, even if he had to go through a thousand dragons, he would still go to you-"

"Maybe, maybe not. Hubble said hoarsely. 'Gago, if he is a commander of a unit, he will not.

If he still has a responsibility, there are still people who count on him and not. He knew I could understand."

Lorana's voice seemed to be carved out of marble, and her expression was cold and unmoved.

"I've never had to take on these responsibilities. I never wanted to.

We can make it look like Baccaris escaped on his own—"

"Don't do that, Lorana!" Wade pleaded.

"He was the one who brought back the bodies of Drake and Ser Alfred at the Tower of the King, the officer you had lost an arm.

He hates you, Lorana!I—I saw the way he glared at you when I captured him!" Hubble's eyebrows furrowed.

"The lord of the city and your brother are still below. We can talk to them about the best way to deal with it—"

"I don't want to discuss anything. Lorana lifted her chin haughtily, a movement all the more familiar to the dwarves. "I'm a general. It was my decision. ”

"Maybe we should ask other people's opinions—"

Lolana looked at Hubble angrily, "Whose advice?" she asked rhetorically, "Gilsenas?"

What am I going to say, "Ella and I want to swap lovers?" No, we're not going to tell anyone else.

Originally, the knights could not do anything to Bakaris.

At most, he was put to death according to the law of the knights. They owe me everything.

Therefore, I'm going to take Bacaris to exchange. “

"Lorana," Hubble desperately tried to figure out a way to penetrate her cold mask, "there are certain rules for prisoner exchanges.

You're right, you're a general, so you should also know how important this is!

You should have been in your father's court long enough—" Oops, the dwarf knew he was wrong when he said the wrong thing, and swallowed it back.

"I'm no longer in my father's court!" retorted Lolana.

"What the hell is the bullshit rule!" she stood up and looked at Hubble coldly, as if she were looking at someone she had just met.

The dwarf had actually reminded her of one thing, reminding her of how childish she had been in Wellington.

"Thank you for bringing me this news. I have a lot of things to attend to tomorrow morning.

If you still care about Robert, please go back to your room and don't mention it to anyone. ”

Although Lolana has become a strong and excellent general, she is still just a fragile girl in the softest place of her heart.

Robert has always been her crush, but after such a long time, this relationship has been hidden deep in Lolana's heart.

Originally, the relationship between the two was about to cross the boundary of friends, but the appearance of Ella completely disrupted the development of things.

Now that Robert's life is in danger, they decide to trade the capture from the previous battle with the Dragoons.

"That guy is always at ease. Lolana muttered, almost falling asleep.
