I was shocked by his request, and I stared at her for a moment. There was no ferocity in the eyes of this middle-aged woman, no gloom, no flickering, and no gloom. On the contrary, there was a slight sadness and sadness in her expression and eyes.

I was a little hesitant in my heart, not because I was afraid of anything, but because I couldn't imagine that this sentence came out of her mouth! And it's an outsider like me.

Shouldn't this be what a king should do with all his might?

"He disappeared for a winter...... Is that right? I said.

The queen nodded slightly,

"Isn't there any clue?"

She shook her head softly again.

"Does anyone else know?" I frowned.

The queen blinked, then nodded softly.

"His Majesty must have sent a lot of people." I asked.

"I need your help now, Colonel." Her tone was soft, but it seemed to have a pleading feeling.

Isn't that a problem for me? I have told her that I have left the king. I made it clear that the king had agreed to let me leave here.

But if I speak to the king at this time......

No...... I can't tell the king about it. I think it's a little weird! Why is she looking for me? She's in league with her husband...... Or is it with her brother?

This doesn't seem to be very consistent with my impression of a warm, harmonious royal family. And it's not what I'm supposed to do, even if I want to.

"Dear Queen, this matter is very important, and I think the king will make proper arrangements! I also believe that Lord Lothar will be fine! I said slowly.

After saying this, the queen's face was instantly filled with disappointment. She took a deep breath and blinked her eyes as if to hold back the tears that were about to well.

She steadied herself, "Okay...... Thank you and have a nice trip! With that, she turned around and disappeared into the garden.

At the moment I stood there with my ears pricked up, and I was listening...... Any noise coming from the surroundings. He stood motionless for a long time. I just turned my head and glanced around at the flowers. Then slowly return to the house.

But before I could sit down, someone pushed the door and walked in. It's Varian.

I didn't have any expression on my face, just glanced at him and didn't say hello to him.

The prince came up to me and sat down in front of me without hesitation. I stared into his eyes, but the little creature looked at me without fear.

There were faint freckles on his immature face, there was no shyness, no timidity, no panic in his two big eyes, and I saw a look that was similar to innocence that surprised me a little!

"What are you looking at?" But in the face of this future lion, it really makes me a little uncomfortable that he is staring at me like this now.

"I apologize to you." He answered me steadily.

This sentence directly knocked my thoughts out of the clouds, but I still stared at him, "Why?" ”

"For what I've said before." He said.

"Oh?" Actually, I wanted to see his reaction. "You don't seem to have said anything to me......"

"You're really good, I'll take back what I said before." He said.

"Hmph, I didn't pay attention to it at all." This kind of insincere words can only deceive others.

"How did you do that?" He asked?

"What?"

"You smashed the shield." His eyes widened, and he waved his hand to demonstrate to me what I was doing.

"Yes......" I said in a very flat tone. Is his arm broken? ”

"Can you teach me?" He didn't answer my question.

"I'm leaving, Varian!" I said.

"Then you don't want to go."

"The king has approved it."

"I told my father that he would listen to me."

"No, lion cub." I shook my head, "I need to leave, I've been here long enough, if you really want to see me again, then I'll be back in the future...... When you really need it. I looked at him lightly. I said I'd fight for you someday, but now I'm leaving, but I'm not going to break my word, little lion. ”

The look in his eyes told me he clearly didn't understand what I was saying.

"Is the war really over?"

"I hope the war is over." I got up from my seat and walked up to him, I looked down at him and he looked up at me. "But the war is not over!" I put my hand on his still thin shoulder. "Why do you ask?"

"My uncle hasn't been back for a long time, and he's not here for my birthday."

"Your uncle...... Do you know where he went? ”

"He's gone to find something relic." He said.

"Relic?"

"I don't know, I listened to my father."

"He hasn't been back for a long time."

"My father said that my uncle would come back when he found it."

"Where did you find it?"

"I don't know."

I smiled at him. "You have to protect your mother." I say.

"She's fine." Varian said.

"I mean, you've got to work harder on your martial arts skills and be ready to fight."

He seemed to understand it.

"And...... You have to learn how to be a good king, force can conquer some people, but wisdom is often stronger than force. ”

"I don't like to read, it's boring to read......"

"If you want to learn something from me, you'd better start by remembering my words." I said.

"Are you going back to the North?"

"Yes."

"You said we'd meet again, is that true?"

"Bill never lies......" I said to him solemnly.

Today's dinner was not grand, there was no singing, no singing and dancing, but a large table was set in the king's dining room, and according to the king, tonight was a family feast.

Varian stuck to me, he was a prince, but he was still a child, he didn't really have any friends or anything like that in the small world of the palace, and I believe he was actually very new to the outside world.

Actually, I didn't think I was interesting and my speech was not vivid, but this guy was still very willing to listen, and listened to me with wide eyes.

His feelings for me now may come first from force, and then from stories. I told him stories about what happened in the north, snow-capped mountains, forests, fields, and the sea. I told him about the dwarves, about the fishmen, and about the monsters that I found in the forest to the east of their kingdom.

His little face was tense, in fact, I didn't mean to scare him, but looking at his scared and curious eyes, I couldn't help but want to laugh.

When the King appeared in the hallway and saw Varian sitting across from me listening to my story, a grim expression flashed across his face. After returning to normal in an instant, he smiled. "You two had a great time!"

The queen followed him, and I noticed that she seemed to have wept.

"Father, Colonel Bill is telling me about the Battle of Brightwood." Varian excitedly reported to his father.

"Yes! Colonel Bill must have had a wonderful story. The smile that Ryan squeezed out is estimated that only children can't see through it.

"I'm going to have to compete with the orcs when I grow up!" He said.

"The war is over, Varian, may you never see them!" Ryan touched his face.

"Colonel Bill says the war may not be over yet." This bear child's words directly made me sweat.

Ryan's face didn't change, "It's going to be over soon." He said but didn't look at me.

"Come on, Colonel." He looked up at me, "You must be hungry!" ”

After a while, another one came to the table, and when I saw him, I was stunned at first, and then I smiled at him.

"Long time no see, Bill." Before Leorik could reach the table, the servant had already pulled the stool out.

"You've lost weight." I looked at him with a smile.

"Thanks to you." He laughed, but still felt a little weak. "I haven't thanked you in person."

"It's a gesture." I pretended to be humble.

"Leo, you've seen it before?" Ryan asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty. At the time of the Eastern Fortress. He said.

"When were you hurt?" The king was interested.

"Hmph, yes." Leorik obviously didn't want to say much about it.

The food on the table was very generous, and the food consisted of a lot of things that I had never seen before, such as slippery mackerel, beer pork chops, and so on. That Red Ridge Mountain stew made me frown. Although it was burned by the fire, I still felt a little sick to my stomach with such a large spider leg.

There is no such thing in the north, maybe I am lonely, and I really haven't eaten court dishes, or maybe I don't know if they eat this thing, but I really opened my eyes today.

The other is that it is only today that I have really seen what a long-billed loach is. This is a loach, this thing looks like a catfish.

In my eyes, they eat these strange things more bizarre than I do with the grilled steak, although they eat it elegantly.

I didn't call it steak, not because I didn't want to, but because I found it easy to get excited about eating something that had blood on it.

Leorik inquired in detail about what had happened after he had been injured. Of course, I also followed him and said that such a sycophant is not actually ...... It doesn't seem to be of much use.

"I've heard from the soldiers that you're the leader of the Iron Horse Knights." I asked him intentionally.

"Hmm." He answered.

"If you don't get hurt, it's your credit to get Brightwood back." I say.

"Hmph, whose credit is it now?" He looked at me, and then at the king. No one dares to speak like that.

"The Duke of Richville owes a lot of money." I say.

"He? If that fat pig knows how to fight, the women around me can be generals. He snorted disdainfully.

"Leo, watch your words." Ryan frowned.

"What do the hard-working people get in the end?" He looked unpleasant. "That kind of estrus fat pig who can only twist his ass can still get honor?" He glanced at me. "Has he ever been bruised by a sword?"

"He's the commander." I say.

"Ha, Commander! The siege was also the main attack of Lothar, and he was the first to lead people to rush in! Leorik waved his hand. Why didn't he come? ”

When I heard this, I glanced at the king and the queen. The king glanced at him, "He's on a mission." ”

The queen's face was actually a little stiff when she heard this.

"Busy man, huh." Leorik seemed to be ...... in the presence of the king This guy can be like this in front of the king, what is his background?

"When are you leaving?" Leorik finally got the conversation back to me.

"In the last few days, I have made a special trip to bid farewell to His Majesty the King." I say.

"What about the Kurtilas?" He asked.

"We don't have anything to do with it, they're hired by you now." I say.

"Your artillery...... It's still good. He scratched his face. Now that you're leaving, stay here. He said.

Looking at the way he looked, I chuckled in my heart.

"We'll pay you a good enough price." He lifted his eyelids and looked at me.

"The journey is dangerous, and these things will ensure that we make it back to the north alive." I politely declined.

"No, it won't." He looked at me.

"Yes, we almost died a few times when we came to the Stormwind Kingdom, and pirates and krakens are not polite guys." I say.

"Then leave some of it, we need this kind of thing now." He looked at me intently.

This guy doesn't talk the same way he used to now, how does he feel so aggressive! Did I give him the wolf heart that gave him a side effect?

"Hah! Lord Duke...... I'll leave you some. Of course, we have to make sure that we can go back safely, right? ”

He smirked at me, and I squeezed out a big smile.
