Chapter 85: Persuasion

Early the next morning, the Elven King Carolingian got up early and paid a visit to Hypatia. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

But when he arrived at Hypatia's quarters, he found the door closed, and through the window he could see that the secluded hut was empty.

"Did she leave overnight?" Carolinge muttered to herself, turning away in disappointment.

As soon as he reached the lake, he stopped and stood in place.

Hypatia was leaning over a stone table, and beside her sat a fairy girl carved in pink.

The girl was wearing a white dress, her small hands were on her cheeks, as if she was trying to think about something, and her big bright eyes were shining brightly, looking extremely cute.

The Elven King stood not far away, a soft smile on the corner of his mouth that had not been seen for a long time, the girl was none other than Elune Kael'as, the princess of the Night Elf Kingdom and his only daughter------ Elune Kael'thas.

Princess Elune had a thick book in front of her, and Hypatia patiently explained it to her, and Princess Elune listened with relish, turning the pages from time to time, but her big eyes never looked at the book, but only looked at the lake in the distance.

The big beautiful eyes couldn't see anything, and Princess Elune just touched the bumpy braille on the writing with her fingers.

"Sister Hypatia, are you leaving so soon?" Hypatia's explanation came to an end for the time being, but the young elf princess took her hand and reluctantly.

"Well, my sister has something to do and needs to leave for a while. However, I will definitely come to see you when I have the opportunity in the future, and I hope that Her Royal Highness the princess can study hard during my sister's absence......" Hypatia gently stroked Princess Elune's cheek, her eyes full of doting.

"Well, don't worry, Sister Hypatia, I will, and I promise that the next time you come back, I'll understand everything you've taught me!" Princess Elune threw herself into Hypatia's arms and nodded heavily.

"What a good boy......" Hipatia hugged her softly.

"Father, my father seems to be here......" As if hearing something unusual, Elune tilted her head and pointed behind Hypatia.

Hypatia hurriedly turned around, raised her eyes and saw the elf king not far away, and hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Your Majesty......"

"No need to be polite, Hypatia will ...... Miss. Carolingian hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and when she opened her mouth, she realized that she had long since abolished her position as Ranger General, and changed her title in embarrassment.

"Father!" called Elune to him, and Carolinge picked up her daughter, kissed her on the forehead, and then magically pulled out a handful of candy and sent her away.

When Princess Elune had gone away with her attendants, the Elven King picked up the book engraved in Braille on the stone table with great interest, "What book did she study......?

"Your Majesty, it is the source of power. Hypatia replied softly.

"Well, the book of the Dark Horse King ......," Carolingian nodded, "this is a classic work of thought, full of wisdom, but it has been banned by those stupid humans because of its shocking views......

Carolinge slowly put down the heavy book "The Origin of Power" and sighed, "Elune's child can read such a classic, Miss Hypatia, thanks to your teaching all these years......"

"Your Majesty has a good reputation, and Her Royal Highness is gifted and studious, and I will only give her a little guidance, and sooner or later she will become an erudite leader. ”

Looking at Hypatia's smile like sunshine, Caroling's heart warmed.

The Elven King lost his wife at an early age, and Princess Elune was the only daughter left to him by Queen Lorana, who was sensible from an early age, and had the intelligence and kindness of her mother, but the only unfortunate thing was that she lost her sight shortly after birth.

The Night Elves have excellent eyesight, which makes them natural marksmen.

And the loss of eyesight, for an elf, means that she will not be able to practice archery, cannot read the scriptures, and is destined to become a strong man.

Countless people felt sorry for this young elf princess, and several elders even privately hoped that the elf king could set up another crown prince.

"We are extremely sympathetic and saddened by the plight of Her Royal Highness, but Your Majesty, the position of the Elven King is very important...... the elders persuaded each other, and Caroling's heart was a little shaken in the end, and she actually had the idea of giving up on raising Elune.

After all, the elven king has always been something that only the strong can serve, and a weak person who has no ability to sit in this position is bound to encounter unknown political risks.

When he was about to give up, the beautiful female elf in front of him volunteered to stand up and took the initiative to teach Her Royal Highness the princess.

At that time, Hypatia had just returned from a study tour in the distant Manx Confederation, and she was not yet a successful ranger general, but she was adamant that Princess Elune would be a great leader.

Later, with Hypatia's careful teaching and teaching, the blind Princess Elune gradually gained far more knowledge than her peers, and the doubts of the people around her gradually subsided.

"Hypatia, have you had any opinions and dissatisfaction with me over the years?" Speaking of which, this Hypatia was still kind to him, and when he thought of yesterday's conflict, he suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart.

"No, Your Majesty. Hypatia thought for a moment and said, "You are not ashamed to ask questions, you are meritocracy, and you can be called a model of a king. ”

"In that case, then why did you lose your temper so much yesterday?" Caroling, puzzled, "Is it really worth your life and death for some Xia people......

"Your Majesty!" Hipatia interrupted him, then took a deep breath and said slowly but firmly: "I have absolutely no resentment against you, Your Majesty, we are elves, it is our nature to love life, we should not be biased, blood, disability and faith should not be a reason to deny any life......"

Carolingian watched her silently, and in the morning light, the elf was dazzlingly beautiful.

"Hypatia," Carolingian said lightly, "life is indeed worthy of respect, but we should not let this go against the will of the gods, let alone gamble with the future of the Night Elves......

"You're kind and smart, but politics is still far more complex than you can imagine. With a heavy sigh, the Elf King said almost in a pleading tone: "Don't go to the Eternal Forest again, stay away from those political maelstroms, stay by my side, and be an ordinary and happy woman, is it okay?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I ......," Hipatia staggered, shyly turning her face sideways.

The two stood awkwardly for a moment, after which Hypatia said goodbye to Caroling.

"Hypatia!" Caroling's mouth stopped the departing figure, "will you remain loyal to the Night Elves?"

"Your Majesty, I will swear allegiance to the death!"

......

After Hypatia walked away, the figure of the High Priest gradually emerged from a dense forest and stood beside the Elven King Caroling.

"Your Majesty, it seems that we can't persuade her anymore......"

"Is there really no other way?" the Elven King sighed in frustration, "She is our best commander, and she is also kind to me, if she is lost, it will be a great loss for me and the entire Night Elf Clan......"

"Hypatia is indeed like a god, she can help us defeat the human alliance, but to deal with the demons, we have to rely on the power of the gods......"

"You're right, but ......" the Elf King waved his hand, "The reason for the weakening of the Demon Seal has not yet been truly ascertained, all of this is just speculation, we really shouldn't open the killing ring and destroy our martial arts before we have thoroughly figured out the reason......

"But what if the seal collapses completely, Your Majesty?" the high priest frowned uneasily, "You must know that the existence of the Xia people is always a hidden danger, and we should not do the slightest blasphemy against the gods at this juncture. ”

The Elven King stared into the distance, a trace of pain flashing in his eyes, "At that last resort, we have no choice but to follow the teachings of the gods, dispose of all the blasphemers here, and then pray for the forgiveness and mercy of the gods......"

"Your Majesty, you seem to like her very much. After a long silence, the high priest suddenly diverted from the subject.

The Elven King turned around, silently took off his crown of thorns, put it in his hand, and looked at it for a moment, but a bitter smile appeared on his face, "You know, sometimes, I really wish I wasn't some Elf King......"
