Volume 5 The Return of the King 329 Past
"I ...... Belch...... I'm sorry...... "I feel like I can give way to this place appropriately."
He sighed softly, "I miss them so much. ”
What can I say? I had to shut up.
He withdrew his fierce gaze, and suddenly I felt that there seemed to be tears in his eyes. "My mother was on her deathbed...... It's not so painful to walk...... Right? ”
I nodded, "She...... Walked peacefully...... Very...... Calm. ”
"You've always been there for her, haven't you?"
"Yes." I said, "I've been with her all the time." ”
"You ...... her"
I nodded, "I was the one who buried her in that rubble temporarily." I...... She couldn't have been better buried. ”
"But I still can't accept my mother's end......" he gritted his teeth.
"It was so chaotic." I glanced at him, "The orcs attacked too hard, and the city was unexpectedly destroyed. But...... I didn't expect it to be like this after the city was broken. And...... It was true that there was no coordination at that time. "That's all I can say, and if I say more, it'll lead to some other mess. I don't want to reminisce with him anymore.
"You've grown up fast." I said, "You are a worthy emperor." ”
"You hardly boast about people." He looked at me, "Is this a courtship to me or do you want to slap my ass?" ”
It was embarrassing for me," I said, "I'm telling the truth. ”
"You know what? You make me feel you...... Not steady. He said.
"What do you mean?"
"I've never said that to you before, have I?" He looked at me seriously, "I don't communicate with you much, in fact, many times in the past I still see you as my role model, I respect you very much, you are indeed very selfless, very great, you can come back from the north to participate in this kind of war...... No matter what it was for, but you saved me, you helped me and the country, you made a great contribution, but then you were always dodging, I don't know what you were dodging, you always made me feel...... There is a sense of separation between me and you. ”
I looked at him in amazement and didn't know what to say for a while.
"I wanted to entrust you with a heavy responsibility, I mentioned it to you, but you did ......," he shook his head, "and you only want to be my security captain in the end." ”
"I can do as much as I can, and I can do a lot for you, tsk...... That's what I do best. ”
"But I'm not a child anymore."
"But you were taken captive anyway."
He frowned in disgust, "If you were here, I wouldn't have this kind of thing?" ”
"Yes." I looked into his eyes and said firmly.
He stared at me for a moment, "Why did you answer so simply?" Are you so sure? ”
"Of course." I said, "As long as I'm by your side, no one can touch you." ”
"But do you know who did it?"
"Brotherhood of Defia." I say.
"Your brother is not dead, he is fake death, he is still alive! It was he who manipulated it. ”
"Even if it's him, I won't let him touch you." I say.
He snorted, "The day Tiffin was killed...... You...... Involved? ”
I frowned and stared straight into his eyes, "No. ”
"Why don't you come to me when something so big happens!" He couldn't take his eyes off it.
"Do I have a chance?" I say.
"You ran away with them." He said.
"Why are you arresting me?" I asked directly.
He let out a puff of air from his nose, "Humph! I'm here to protect you! Protect you! He was in a hurry.
"Protection! Arresting me is protection? My tone became a little unfriendly.
"I wasn't the one who wanted to arrest you, and I wasn't the one who wanted to kill you." He sat up straight.
"It's that woman, isn't it?" I said, "It's Katrana, right?" ”
"Do you know how many people wanted you to die?"
"Hah! Want me to die? Who wants me dead? I didn't offend them! ”
"Someone comes to your report every once in a while! You simply don't know! They say you're Van Cleef's brother! Although your name is Bill! But the whole city knows about it! I know it too! ”
"The whole city?"
"All nobles! I won't tell you how you got here, but there are a lot of people who know you! Don't you know what you did when my father was still alive? Do you think people won't recognize you if you have a few more scars on your face? There were rumors of you before the storm fell, I was young then, but I had heard about you! I didn't understand it at the time! But after the storm resumed, your rumors did not decrease, but increased, do you say I believe it or not! ”
"Do you believe that?"
"How I don't believe it!" He glared at me and raised his voice.
"But you never asked me."
"Ask? How do I ask? Q: Are you from the Van Cleeff family? Ask if you are Edwin's brother? Do you want me to ask you that? His body was already leaning forward, "I want to save face for you, because I think of your goodness!" ”
I don't know what to say.
"I thought to myself...... Even if you're from the Van Cleef family, I'll tolerate you if you're good to me. ”
"And then?" I say.
"And then? And then there are more and more rumors about you, and you really don't get angry, do you cause less trouble in the city? You're not at all scrupulous! And you make certain nobles hate to the teeth! ”
"Who? Who hates me so much? ”
"Am I still talking about this?" He pursed his lips in disgust.
"I didn't offend them!"
"You've offended a lot before! They all remember! ”
"Uh...... "That's okay too?" Do you settle accounts after the fall?
"At that time, the Masonry Brotherhood was going to make trouble, and there were eighty letters a day reporting that you were also involved in the conspiracy." He shouted as he held out three fingers in the air. "What can I do? I can only control you first! ”
"You...... At least talk to me. ”
"Speak? Katrana wants to cut your head off. ”
"I know." I say.
"What do you know? You're not safe in prison at all! You've been getting me in trouble! You've got a meeting to tell them stories! You can! ”
"Uh...... I'm in the dark and I want to know the truth! And...... I was a little disheartened at the time. I said, "Actually, you suspected that I was involved in something, right?" ”
"I want to know what's going on behind you, I said...... You've always made me feel like I'm away from you! As much as I don't want to, you know that your character is flawed? If one person says you, two or three will be enough! But then almost everyone told me to be careful of you, what did I think? ”
Am I just ...... in his heart Is it easy to be denied?
"The masonry brotherhood led by your brother is no longer a small organization, it is no longer a simple masonry union? You should know how many people your brother has, right? ”
"They are just workers, stonemasons......"
"But they far outnumber the army!"
"The Salary Problem...... is the fuse. I said.
"Salary? Hmph, I'm afraid it's not that simple! He snorted and sat back in his chair. Your brother was taken advantage of, Katrana was used against him, am I right? ”
Why did he ask me that?
"Katrana is really the culprit behind this......" I said.
"Nope! It's not just Katrana! He waved his hand, "The woman is dead, and her head hanging in front of the gates of Stormwind can't open her mouth to tell those things." But I know that she was not the only one who wanted to harm me back then, there were many people! Now that the trees are falling apart, I don't have the time and energy to figure out these things for the time being, but you can listen to me, there are still people behind this! ”
What did he tell me about this?
"I arrested you because I wanted to get you out, just be honest with me, I still knew it in my heart at that time! I know what to do! But you...... You don't have to worry at all! What nonsense did you say to them! ”
"You want to kill two birds with one stone?"
He snorted with some disdain, "I'm trying to figure out the purpose behind those people!" There must be a reason why you are so squeezed, you are Edwin's younger brother, what are they trying to slander you like this? And...... At that time, although I was a king, I didn't have the final say on everything, I could do whatever I wanted! Don't you know that you've been with me for so long? At that time, which of the grand dukes in the court was not majestic and majestic! ”
"Uh...... Are you trying to ......" I shook my head slightly, "you want to move them?" ”
"Do you think I'm born to hunt? Do you think I'm out hunting for fun? He exclaimed, "I am here to tempt!" ”
"Temptation?"
"You forgot?" His eyes were filled with anger at this time. "I'm a descendant of Ureon, but I still have the blood of the Lothar family in my veins."
I looked at him in surprise for a moment, and to be honest, I couldn't guess what he was trying to say.
"You've been investigating Soladin's legacy before, and you think I don't know about it? That damn curse I know! But since I know, no one outside can guarantee that they will know. On the one hand, I want to show myself mighty, belligerent, heroic, and unyielding! On the one hand, I have to find out who has ideas for me, who has opinions about me, and who wants to take advantage of the opportunity to attack me. ”
"You're so small...... The mind is quite thoughtful. "I couldn't help but be amazed.
"I thought you understood me."
I was a little ashamed of that.
"But at that time, you were just a security captain." He sat back in his chair, "But too...... Getting rid of you is also a double thing. ”
I pouted.
"I've been investigating since I locked you up, and those who have come into contact with you, whether it's Wendsol or that little lover of yours back then! And the people around you! I know your every move, and of course people outside know it, and even I know who you say badly about how many farts you say. ”
"Someone with you by my side?"
"But then you killed me."
"MI7 undercover agent, right?"
He gave me a blank look.
"I didn't kill me, did I...... What's his name? ”
"How do I know what he's called! In the end, the whole prison rioted, and you ran away. ”
"Am I not running...... Later I thought it was a big deal, and at the time I thought you didn't need me anymore, or...... Tsk......"
"Or what? Do you suspect that you are an accomplice? At this time, his face and expression were not at all a child.
"Pretty much."
He gave me a blank look and said slowly, "I sent someone to look for you later. ”
"What are you looking for me?"
"I want to know what's going on with you."
"And you know what?"
"Got it, you found Edwin, you're together."
"I'm desperate, and I can't ask him for clarification? I'm also confused. ”
"Did you figure it out?" He asked me.
I nodded, "Basically." ”
"Then what else are you hiding from me?"
"It's gone...... No...... Well...... What do you want to say? ”
He narrowed his eyes, "When did you first become the Forsaken?" ”
