Volume 5 The Return of the King 330 Growth
It's not hard for some people to trust it, after all, some people are stupid, or ...... It's easier to trust people, huh...... It should be said that it is more appropriate to be kind.
Yes, kindness.
But some people don't, and it's very difficult to gain his trust. But losing his trust was a matter of minutes. They may not be bad people, but most of them are smart, intelligent, and cold-hearted.
I'm not saying that Varian is bad, but he can only be blamed as a king.
It is said that ruthlessness is the most emperor's family, as the most beautiful people in the world, but once something happens, it is very easy to die, they may be ready to be deceived and betrayed at any time, or in their eyes, betrayal and deception are too accustomed to things. After all, there are not a few people who want to cling to them for the greatest benefit.
I felt tired at the end of the day chatting with him.
Tired.
He said that he was there to protect me, but in fact, he was also trying to find out if I had anything to do with those things, and if there was someone behind me, and who were the people who were clinging to me. After all, I was the person who could be with him for the longest time besides the Queen, and unfortunately, I was also Edwin's younger brother, something I had been deceiving myself but everyone knew about it.
Maybe he was really worried that I had something to do with these things, and he really didn't want me to be involved, but I suspect that once this kind of thing happens, it will be difficult to eliminate, let alone what I did...... Well, in his words, I ran away, I hid, and my actions made it more complicated and confusing, and made him think that I must have been involved.
Only now did I realize that my wishful thinking was not only worthless, but also very harmful! Yes, it's wishful thinking.
I thought, I think, what do I think he's going to do to me! I thought, I thought, what I think he should do to me, why shouldn't he do to me! But I overlooked the fact that when I was away from him, I had already given up the opportunity to explain, and I had missed the opportunity to prove myself! In the end, not only did I fail to prove myself, but I made myself more suspicious.
Am I not an idiot? Why would I do that? How could I choose that?
I'm still going to investigate, and I still think I'm going to this and that like some kind of messenger of justice...... As a result, I almost got myself into it in the end.
Tut...... Gee! I'm so stupid. If I hadn't had some skills, I guess I would have died a long time ago, and I couldn't even find my body. But things have come to this...... It certainly can't be made up. And I honestly don't want to get involved in these things now, and since he has already brought it up today, I will simply make it clear.
But think about it the other way around, the situation at that time ...... Do I have a better option? Damn it! Maybe personality can really determine fate. If I had to choose again, what would I do?
He listened very carefully to the fact that I had the misfortune to become a member of the Scourge Legion, and this past was not at all good in my heart, I witnessed the decline and destruction of the Empire, I saw my best friend die in front of me, I saw what it means to be desperate and disappointing, and I have seen what it means to live without dying. Human nature, power, lust, betrayal, sadness, despair, division...... This experience was as unreal as a dream, but it made me panic when I thought about it.
As I spoke, I observed the expression on his face, and every look in his eyes and expression conveyed his feelings after hearing my words, and I kept wondering how he would react. It wasn't until I told the story about the reunion with him that his body slowly softened.
"The experience...... Who else knows? He said suddenly.
"You know the story best." I say.
"And who else did you talk to?"
"Many things about me Sylvanas know."
"What did you tell her?"
"I didn't tell her."
"And who else?"
"King Sarufar."
"Who else?" The way he stared at me made me uncomfortable.
"It's gone."
"Where's the woman next to you?"
"Yes, she only knows a little bit about it." I added.
He muttered for a moment, "Does Gianna know?" ”
"I don't know everything." I say.
He blinked at Anduin, who was listening to us with wide eyes. "Can I trust you now?" He said.
This made me feel very uncomfortable. "Trust it or not is up to you, not me." I say.
"Do you think the tribe will come to an agreement with us?" He asked.
"They should think the same way we do." I say.
"What do you think of the leader of the tribe, the orc named Thrall?"
"He should be the most suitable chief for the tribal side at the moment." I say.
"But he's challenging my bottom line."
"I'm sure Gianna will have a way." I said, "They have a good relationship. ”
Varian narrowed his eyes, "So which side are you on now?" ”
That's a good question......
I shook my head, "Do you think I'm a threat to you right now?" ”
"The agreement between the Alliance and the Tribes is as fragile as a pancake in a pan." He said: "The tribe guys will never give up the war with us, now that Sal is still alive, what if Sal is dead?" And those who are forgotten, those who are dead...... They wouldn't necessarily listen to the Great Chief. He looked me in the eye and said slowly, "Especially the forgotten, they have no thoughts, no feelings. ”
"The alliance is not safe, and the Stormwind Kingdom is in great danger." He said.
"What do you want me to do?"
"It's not me......," he shook his head slightly, "we're not relatives but better than relatives, we're not so distant, and we're not enemies." ”
What did he say......
"I'll help you." With that, I stood up. "What do you want me to do?"
"I know what I need most right now."
"Honestly...... "I owe my body," I don't know exactly what you want. ”
"I'm going to get the tribe to go back to their territory, what can you do for me?" He asked.
"It's not something I can control, it's okay if you let me kill someone, your problem is too big, I'm not your strategic staff." I say.
"Can you get Thrall's head?" He said.
I frowned, thinking I had misheard. "Are you sure?"
"How?"
"Salta is really ......"
"Alright......" he said, and he lowered his head directly. That's enough for today, you can step back. ”
Instantly, I felt extremely embarrassed, and the feeling of not being respected, not valued, ignored, ignored and excluded came to my heart, and I felt a deep uneasiness in my heart. As I approached the door, he suddenly said, "Do you know what Edwin has been doing lately?" ”
I looked back gently, "I don't know." ”
"He was ready to move some time ago." Varian said, "You know he has a fleet?" ”
"What's wrong?"
"My people have found out his whereabouts." He said.
I looked at him sideways, and he sat in his seat staring at me, and the strangeness that came over my face sent chills through my heart.
"I see." I nodded and walked out of the room, and when I walked out of the room and closed the door behind me, I felt awkward! It wasn't a sense of relief at all, I didn't feel a sense of relief, I only felt a strange and inexplicable sadness as I stood at the outer door.
Maybe...... It's time for me to get out of here.
On the way back, this sentence kept haunting my mind, and I don't know how many times I repeated it in my mind. When I got back to my lodgings, Egwene greeted me.
"How are you?" She took my hand with concern.
I shook my head, "Not so good. I said.
"I feel like you've never been so tired as you are today." She said.
I didn't say anything but went to the window and sat down in a chair, the moon in the night sky outside the window gave off a faint light, and most of the houses in the distance were plunged into darkness, and this silence did not calm my heart at all.
"What's wrong with you? What happened? She asked.
"Maybe it's the last time I'll see him." I say.
"What's going on?"
"He's not what he used to be anymore." I say.
"What did he say about you?"
"Maybe I'm really not fit to deal with them." Holding my cheeks, I looked out the window.
"You don't have to say that about yourself, you're not good at it, but you can't be replaced."
I turned my head to look at her, and she sat on my lap and snuggled into my arms.
Her voice was gentle, but it still didn't soothe my heart. "I'm just a little sad." I say.
"Maybe you can get out of here and do what you think is right and live." "You're a person who can't be bound, I know," she said. ”
She looked into my eyes, and there was infinite tenderness in those eyes that made me feel warm and safe. "You guys argued, didn't you?"
I snorted. "I'm not the person he trusted back then."
"Could it be that you're overthinking?"
"No, I can feel it. And I did ...... before"
She smiled.
"What are you laughing at?"
"The way you look doesn't match your mentality." She laughed.
"What do you mean?"
"You weren't like that before."
"Maybe I'm getting old." I say.
"It's normal for the elderly to do things and for the young to be unaccustomed to it." She said. "You remind me of a saying, I've heard that boys grow up ...... It was to be done by challenging his father. ”
"I'm not his father."
"But you are the closest man to him, and the closest man to him. He doesn't like you to behave, or he can't control him like his father. ”
"He's not a challenge."
"In some ways, it's almost similar." She said.
"That's what you say...... What is the name of Alsace, and the king of Stormgard...... Garin. Thorbain, and the original Crown Prince of Alterac...... Well...... Is Gianna counted? I looked at her with an eyebrow raised.
Egwene smiled but didn't say anything.
"But he's seen his father killed, and I don't need to use myself to prove that he's grown up, I'm an outsider, he's just pure...... Don't trust me anymore. ”
"Well, who knows." Egwen shook his head and smiled.
