After the initial delay, Solandale was very angry, and her immature voice became stern, and she scolded Edward: "If you want to sow discord, then there is no need for us to talk." ”

Edward's fingers twitched regularly on the table, and his expression was still tepid: "You trust Lorna so much? What does she say, what do you believe? ”

"Yes, Lorna has been by my side for as long as I can remember, and like real relatives, we know each other and talk to each other, and if you think I'm suspicious of her because of the gossip of outsiders, then you may be underestimating our relationship." Solandale was resolute in this matter, and didn't even give Edward a chance to answer, and got up and left directly, leaving only a cold sentence, "Goodbye, do it yourself." ”

"Wait." Surprisingly, it was not Edward who took the lead in making a sound, but Chino, who grabbed Solandelle's wrist and looked at Edward with a blank face, "It's all here, listen to how he is talking serious nonsense." ”

Although Solandelle was disgusted with Edward and did not want to stay longer, she listened to Chino and said nothing, and turned to sit beside him, but did not look at Edward, but silently watched the fireplace where the wood was burning.

"Hahaha." Edward let out a hearty laugh, stroked his palm to remove the peanut crumbs on his hands, and sighed, "I haven't seen it before, Her Royal Highness is such a decisive person." Now please calm down and listen to me, you may have misunderstood something. ”

"When I say that Lorna is lying, it's not that she's maliciously deceiving you and fooling you, but that she herself doesn't know the whole picture of the incident, and what she says is not the truth."

"Some of the Trojan clansmen rebelled, the provincial army was the king of Bafangqin, Sting didn't save him when he saw death, and the white dragon Sula fell... These things did happen in terms of results, and there was no problem, but Lorna's knowledge of these things was all in the mouths of others, and she had never seen the truth herself, and all of them had heard from rumors. ”

"These rumors are generally not rumors, smears, or lies... What outsiders say may be true, and there is real evidence, but at the same time, something is missing. What's more, when these key things are missed, people see the 'truth' completely different. ”

Edward pointed at Chino and smiled, "Take your good friend as an analogy, during the Kingdom Council a few months ago, the Inquisitors' accusations made him a blasphemous. Are the accusations against Chino true? Of course it's true, it's all facts with real evidence. ”

"As you may know, the crowd was so excited that everyone thought Chino was a blasphemous and demanded that he be put to death immediately."

"And then? In the third trial, something hidden under the truth was revealed-he had a certain ability to sense the arrival of visitors from outside the world-oh~ Chino van Helsing was reborn from the fire, and the suspicion of blasphemy on his body was immediately washed away, and he was transformed into a twilight death again. ”

"That's what I said, don't believe Lorna, she didn't mean to lie to you, but nothing she said was the truth, she was preconceived by what she heard from others, she brainwashed herself over and over again, and then subconsciously thought that this was the truth, and finally relayed it to you without thinking... This is a serious mistake. ”

Chino said lightly: "In that case, as a witness to the coup d'état in the 500th year of the Huoyao calendar, you might as well tell us the real truth now and restore the whole thing?" ”

Edward let out a low laugh, picked up the flask next to him with his big hand, gulped it down, and finally wiped the wine stains from his mouth, shook his head, and said, "No comment." ”

Chino: "So what's the point of you're talking a whole bunch of nonsense here?" ”

Edward: "The meaning is to advise you, whether it is you, Her Royal Highness, or Lorna, it is best not to dig into this matter further." You can remember the white dragon Sulla, and you can feel sorry for her loss, but don't look for the truth of the matter. ”

Regarding Lorna, Solandelle's attitude was very tough: "Don't pretend to be a ghost, you make everything clear now, otherwise I will report to my father that you are trying to sow discord between the royal family and the Regnome family!" ”

"Hahaha, Your Royal Highness Princess, I am indeed suspended now, and I am no longer the governor of the province, but I am still the leader of the Trojan king, and if you want to place a crime on me, I am afraid that you can't do it by making a small report to my father." Edward's expression was very indifferent, not nervous, and he smiled easily, "And I believe that a child like you, who is full of curiosity, must have asked His Majesty the King about that year a long time ago, did he give you an answer?" ”

Solandelle was speechless for a while, she subconsciously looked at Chino and whispered, "I have asked several times, but my father is silent..."

At this moment, Chino realized that something was wrong.

I'm afraid Edward's words are not to sow discord, and it is likely that as he said, Lorna's words cannot be believed.

The truth is like an iceberg on the surface of the sea, revealing only a small part of what Lorna sees, and there are many more unknown pasts buried underwater, sealed forever, and even those in power like Edward and Persius are reluctant to mention it.

That year... What the hell is going on...

The death of the white dragon Sula... Is it really what the world says it is...

Apparently, Solandelle also realized that something was wrong, and she pursed her lips tightly, her small fists pressed together, and the concentric rings on her fingers glittered in the light of the fire.

After being silent for a long time, Solandelle's last attitude remained unwavering: "No matter what you say, Lorna is my best friend, and I support her unconditionally, unconditionally." Truth or ignorance, I will always believe whatever Lorna says and stand on her side in any position, and our relationship will not crack because of anything. ”

Edward smiled, spread his hands and said, "Whom to support, who to support, this is your freedom." I also hope that your friendship with Lorna will last forever, after all, you are both children I grew up watching, and although you are not related by blood, I love you no less than my biological parents. ”

"Okay, it's not early, I'm sorry to keep you for supper so late." Edward got up, opened the door for the two of them, and made a gesture of please.

Solandelle didn't want to stay longer, so she put on a thick coat and walked out the door, plunging headlong into the howling snowstorm.

"Oh yes." Edward smiled at Solandelle on the other side of the snow curtain, his voice as deep as the sea, "I don't recommend you go and talk to Lorna about tonight. ”

"Trust is like a rope, if you cut a knife on it, even if it's so light that you can't see the trace, the knife is real, and there's no way to make up for it." Edward closed the door, and only a faint voice could be heard, "Good night, Your Highness Princess." ”
