Chapter 150: The Desperate Princess
"Elendil has made this request again!" Odin, the dwarven king, opened his eyes wide in anger, and the muscles trembled on his wrinkled old face, and he slammed his fist on the table, and exclaimed angrily, "I've said it many times, let him break this thought!"
"Your Majesty, please stop your anger!" Rogge looked at the angry dwarven king in surprise, put down the golden cup in his hand and persuaded: "Your Majesty, why are you so angry? Not to mention that the dwarves have now completely popularized firearms, even when firearms are not popular, you don't need that bow, so why should you be angry about it?"
"No!" the dwarven king shook his head angrily, reached out and pressed Rog's hand on the table, and said, "Brother, Elendilmon has lied to you, what he said is not the truth at all!"
As if to calm his anger, the dwarf king grabbed the wine glass on the table, drank the liquor inside, looked back at Rogge with angry eyes, and said loudly in a loud voice that shook everyone's eardrums.
"Lorian's bow is not in my hand at all, in the ten years since Lorian's death, I have explained to Elendil countless times through various methods, I have never murdered Lorian, let alone taken away his 'Moonlit Wind', including your teacher, Master Augustine!"
"My teacher?" Rogge's eyes widened in surprise as he heard the dwarven prince Thor on the side speak, "Yes, Mr. Rogge, your teacher, Grand Druid Augustine, once came forward to reconcile the contradictions between the two races, and my father also explained the truth to him and asked him to tell the Elven King on his behalf. ”
"But Elendil has refused to believe us, and even Master Augustine has not been able to persuade him to believe it!" said Odin, the dwarven king, to Rog with anger and helplessness.
"Elendil is as if brainwashed by the devil into believing that I am the murderer of his eldest son, but my brother, you are the wisest, do you think it is necessary for me to kill an elven prince for the sake of Gilgard?" he said as he drank the wine that his attendant had just poured again, and slammed his glass to the table.
"Your Majesty, I think there must be some kind of misunderstanding here, and it cannot be ruled out that there are other conspiracies in it, and there may be some people with ulterior motives who are trying to cause disputes or even wars between the two tribes, and profit from them. Rog calmed the dwarven king as he looked around at the crowd.
He pondered for a moment, then continued, "Since Master Augustine has intervened in this matter and received promises and explanations from you, then I think we can all get help from my teacher again, so that when I reply to the Elven King, I can finally achieve a result that is satisfactory to everyone. ”
"I hope you can get that outcome, my brother," said the Dwarven King with a long sigh, "at this time, I don't think anyone wants to take the initiative to provoke a war and let the dark wizards take advantage of the fishermen, but we will also be ready for any trouble that may come." ”
He gave a special look at the elven princess Sophia, who was sitting at the end of the table, and said meaningfully: "I also hope that our neighbors can understand one thing, that is, although the dwarves are hospitable, they are never afraid of the enemy, and if anyone dares to provoke a war, we will never be afraid or back down!"
Hearing the last words of the dwarf king, the atmosphere of the scene became very awkward, the dwarves all lowered their heads and silently ate and drank, and the guests on Rogge's side looked at each other one by one, and they all had a bad premonition in their hearts, and just when Rogge was about to open his mouth to ease the atmosphere, Sophia suddenly stood up.
She left her seat with her glass in hand and walked towards the Dwarven King, and everyone present looked at her suspiciously, the dwarves looked at the elven princess with hostility, and Tali reached out halfway to try to hold her, but Sophia gently pushed her away and shook her head calmly.
She walked past Rogge and looked at him calmly, as if to say, "Don't stop me, I know what I'm doing." Rog watched her figure silently, watching as she stopped beside the Dwarven King and raised the golden cup filled with wine.
"King Odin," she said in a calm tone, "allow me to toast you with this glass of wine, I have been listening to the conversation between you and Mr. Rogge just now, and what you said and what you said made me believe that there may really be some misunderstanding between the dwarves and elves, and perhaps all the conflicts that have occurred between us in the past ten years have been unnecessary. ”
The elven princess's words surprised everyone present, the dwarves all praised Sophia's attitude, while Rogge and the others were very surprised, especially when they thought of the fact that not long ago in Lunar Shadow City, she also loudly asked the elf king to go to war, and then looking at her current attitude, it seems that she has completely changed a person.
"I'm glad to hear you say that, Your Highness Sophia. The Dwarven King glanced at Sophia in surprise, raised his glass and clinked glasses with her, saying, "If the Elven royal family can be so reasonable, we may still be able to maintain our alliance with each other against the Vampire King." ”
"I'm sure that day will come. Sophia and the Dwarven King politely clinked glasses, then drank the wine together, smiled and said, "I will go back and explain everything to my father, my royal sister Eva did not approve of the conflict between him and the dwarves, I believe that our sisters can resolve the conflict between the two races." ”
"That's for the best, and we'll all love to see that day!" said the Dwarven King, nodding in satisfaction.
"May I give you a hug as an expression of our desire for friendship between the two races?" said Sophia, placing the glass in Rog's hand and leaning over to the Dwarven King.
"Of course you can!" replied the dwarven king Odin and Rog as they looked at each other and rode the wine cheerfully.
He turned and opened his arms to Sophia, and the elven princess leaned over to hug him, and Rog and everyone in the room smiled as they witnessed the first elven and dwarf embrace in a decade - except for Lilith, who was still busy dealing with the fat grilled steak on the silver plate.
"Thank you, Your Majesty Odin......" Sophia whispered in the Dwarven King's ear. Caught off guard, her right hand suddenly reached for her waist, and she pulled out the elven dagger on her belt and stabbed it into the back of the dwarf king.
In an instant, everyone saw the lightning-like flash of the sword, but no one had time to stop Sophia, including Rog, who was close at hand, and the dwarven prince Thor and his brothers screamed in unison, got up from their chairs and rushed to the dwarf king.
Rogge, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly got up and went to pull Sophia, and before his hand could hold Sophia's arm, the elf princess was suddenly thrown out heavily, and her body hit the golden pillar supporting the hall not far away, and the elf short sword in her hand fell to the ground, making a crisp collision sound.
The surrounding dwarven soldiers rushed up and pushed Sophia to the ground, countless black hole fire guns aimed at her, and everyone present stood up in surprise, and saw the dwarf king get up from the throne and walk towards Sophia, lifting the golden cloak, revealing the brilliant pure gold chain soft armor on his body.
"Your Royal Highness, you underestimate Old Odin too much!" The Dwarf King stared coldly at Sophia who was pressed to the ground, and sneered: "No, maybe it should be said that Elendil underestimated me too much, he was stupid enough to think that I would be defenseless against his daughter! Hmph, I was wary of it as early as I learned that Thor had returned with an elf!"
"Your Majesty, this matter is really ......" Rog stepped forward and tried to explain to the dwarf king, but Odin waved his hand to stop him, he looked back at Rogge and said: "Don't worry, brother, I know that you are not to blame for this matter, and it will not affect the relationship between our brothers, everything is to blame for Elendil!"
"No, Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not what the Elf King meant!" Rogge knelt down on one knee in front of him, and eagerly told the Dwarf King the "truth" about his encounter with Sophia halfway, but he deliberately skipped that Sophia left the Sun Castle privately for revenge, and said that the matter was a chance encounter, so as not to anger the Dwarf King.
Sure enough, after listening to Rogge's explanation, Odin stroked his beard and nodded, "I just said how could Elendil be so stupid, so that's what happened!"
"That's right, I'm going to kill you, a damn old bastard, and I'm going to make you pay for my brother and Trancy!" Sophia scolded through gritted teeth.
"Shut up, Sophia, don't say any more!" Rogge shouted to stop the elven princess, and turned around to persuade: "Your Majesty, the little princess is young and vigorous, and the slain leader of the High Knights, Trancy, is her childhood friend, and she made a big mistake on the spur of the moment, and please ask Your Majesty to forgive her and put the overall situation first!"
"Father, what Mr. Rogge said is reasonable, if we dispose of Princess Sophia casually, the Elven King will not give up, I am afraid that even the death of His Highness Lorian will depend on our heads at that time, and then there will be no other choice but to go to war. The dwarven prince Thor also stepped forward to persuade him.
The Dwarf King nodded silently and glanced back at Sophia, the elven princess staring at him with a pair of hateful eyes, which made the Dwarf King frown.
"But if I let her go like that, who can guarantee that she won't assassinate me again?"
The dwarven king looked at Rog with a scrutinizing gaze and asked, "The elves are good at assassination, and their agility is well known, and if it weren't for your sake, I would have forbidden her to carry weapons into the palace." ”
Rogge looked at Sophia, who had a stubborn face, and knew that what the dwarf king said was right, if there was really an accident and Sophia stabbed and even killed the dwarf king, then this big battle would be inevitable, and everything would be irreparable, but what should she do if she was not let go?
At this moment, the little Lolit Lilith, who had just glanced back at the assassination incident and then continued to be busy eating, spoke: "Do you want to be so stupid, don't you just deal with this beautiful stupid elf? I have a way!"
