Chapter 933: The Imperial Prelude is right
Esara's promise of exculpation took SalΓ©an by surprise.
"Queen Azhara, do you mean that you know that what I'm going to say next may not be so nice to you?"
"Heh~"
Aishara smiled disapprovingly, "For so many years, the elves living on land have heard the same rhetoric that Tyrande formulated after the war. β
"Even if I don't have a detailed investigation, I know that they won't have any objective evaluation of me in their determination of responsibility for the Battle of the Ancients."
As Azhara said, even the High Elves who had traveled to the Eastern Kingdoms could not have deliberately eulogized Azra, the legitimate king of all the Elves, in order to ensure the legitimacy of Darthrema's throne.
The history of the Battle of Antiquity in the Grand Library of Quel'Salas still follows the "canonical history" drawn up by the Tyrande after the war.
Growing up in Quel'Thalas, Saljan was naturally guided by the bias left by the Night Elves in the history books.
And this history book compiled by the Night Elves obviously won't have a good opinion of Queen Azhara who recruited the Burning Legion.
With a flash of electricity in his head, Salian asked meaningfully: "So, what was the truth back then, can Her Majesty solve my doubts?" β
Aishara waved her hand noncommittally: "Don't mention these old things, I think it's more important to look to the future than to look back at the past." β
"If you're really interested in the history of those days, after this conversation, I can ask Vaskey to take you to the Royal Library to look through the materials and see how the orthodox Dark Night Empire history books record that war."
"Let's get down to business."
Azhara sat up straight, and said in a point-in-depth manner, "Sarren Deep Shadow, you mustered up the courage to come to Nashatar just to talk about these old things about the old pockmarks, right?" If you have something to say, you might as well say it bluntly. β
Sarian nodded knowingly, "Indeed, I have a lot of questions that I would like you to answer personally, so let's start with a less sensitive topic." β
"The Night's Watch of Asuna have been punished for ten thousand years, and it is not known that Her Majesty will be able to forgive them for their sin of treason and set the souls of those poor people free."
"Assuna?"
Azhara's golden eyes moved up slightly, as if to ponder the meaning behind Sarren's words.
"Ah~ You're Farodis."
With a look on her face, Azhara said playfully, "That's your first question?" β
"Also, after 10,000 years, the rebellious sin of the boys of Farodis should almost be atoned for."
"It just so happens that the cursed Tide Stone has returned to my hands, and I can forgive them if they are willing to admit to me the mistakes they made back then."
Sarjan frowned slightly: "You have to admit your mistake yourself?" β
"That's right."
Aishara said pointedly, "Farodis is already an adult and must be responsible for the choices he makes. β
"Back then, he launched an unplanned rebellion against me without a program, as the queen of the Night Empire, it was my duty to suppress the rebels, it was not his fault, do you want to blame me?"
One thing to say, Pharodis was undoubtedly right, and he wanted to force Azhara to reconsider his alliance with the Burning Army.
However, as Eshara said, Farodis's plan of rebellion was too unplanned, and after one link went wrong, it quickly fell into a situation of total collapse, and was easily suppressed by Eshara without much effort.
At that time, the upper echelons of the Night Empire were fighting against the Burning Legion, whose true colors had not yet been revealed.
From Azhara's point of view, Farrodis is rebelling at this juncture, discrediting the image of the Night Empire in front of future allies.
However, as a descendant who knows the details of the Burning Legion, Saljan will inevitably think from the side of the defenders of Azeroth.
In this respect, Farodis's motives were correct, and only the means of protest were manifestly inadequate.
Just as Sarren was about to refute Azhara's words, one of the barrages suddenly alerted him.
[Xiao Sa, don't get excited, there seems to be another mystery in Aisara's words. γ
Saljan swallowed back the words he was about to say: "What mystery? β
["If they are willing to admit to me the mistakes they made back then", this sentence does not mention what the mistake was from beginning to end. γ
Sarren was shocked: "This ......"
"Does Aishara mean that as long as Farodis personally admits his mistake to her, no matter what his mistake is, she is willing to fulfill her promise to lift the curse?"
[At least that's how I interpret it, or maybe it's just that Aishara didn't say it all.] γ
[No, I think that's what Eshara intended. γ
Another barrage began to express its opinion.
[For a veteran politician like Aishara who has been in power for more than 15,000 years, it should be impossible for such a half-cut sentence that is easy to leave a handle on people, unless she does it on purpose. γ
Salian bowed his head and fell into deep thought: "Do you just need to admit your mistakes......"
As Sarren looked down, a subtle flash of appreciation flashed in Aisara's eyes.
'The brain is spinning very fast, no wonder Yin Nasi blew her precious son to the sky, and there is nothing on the earth, there is indeed something. β
"I see."
After a brief moment of thought, Sarian replied quietly: "I will relay your words to the Night's Watch of Asuna as they are, as for their reply...... I can't be sure either. β
Aishara nodded slightly, "Okay, that's the end of this topic, next one." β
After the first round of Riddler encounters, Salaen raised his guard again, and he didn't want to fall into Azhara's word trap again.
"Second question."
Sarren's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked cautiously, "This is just my speculation, and there is no evidence for the time being." β
"Queen Aishara, the reason why you made a promise not to invade the land to acquire the Tide Stone is that you plan to use the power of this Pillar of Creation to bring Nalshatar ...... Or is it that Sari is back on the waters? β
"Oh?"
Azara's originally playful gaze became sharp, and Sarren, who was locked by those golden eyes, felt like a mouse being targeted by a cat, and the muscles of his whole body were subconsciously tensed, ready to eject at any time.
"Heh~"
Aishara noticed Sarren's overreaction and chuckled to dissipate the force.
"Don't be nervous, I promised to forgive you for your rude words, at least during this meeting, without fear of being punished for your words."
"I'm curious, though."
Azhara looked into Sarjan's eyes with interest, "Where did you come up with this inference?" β
Sarian shrugged his shoulders and replied, "It's just a guess without evidence, so you just think it's a whim." β
"So? Did I guess right? β
Aishara smiled meaningfully, "The answer to this question is reserved for the time being, do you have anything else you want to ask?" Say it all. β
"Okay, now comes the last question."
Salaan took a deep breath and looked at Azhara solemnly, focusing on her deep golden eyes, deliberately ignoring the infinite charm that she unconsciously exuded.
"Queen Azhara, I've asked Ms. Vaschi this question before."
Vaschi, who was standing on the side of the throne, had a stunned expression on his face, apparently guessing what Sarren wanted to ask.
Sarajan stared at Azhara without hesitation and continued, "I've heard that the transformation from a Night Elf to a Naga was not your intention, but a compromise made out of the pressure of survival. β
"I wonder if Her Majesty has considered how to transform back into the Night Elves from the warped form given by Enzos."
"I'm not referring to the improvised illusions you and Ms. Vasqui, but the essential alteration of life."
The smile that had always been on Azhara's face vanished, and the atmosphere in the hall became stagnant.
Sarjan gritted his teeth and resisted the invisible pressure, still stubbornly staring into Azhara's eyes.
"Son of Yinas."
After looking at each other for more than a minute, Aishara finally spoke in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this...... Could it be that he wanted to use this as an excuse to persuade me to abandon all contact with Enzos completely? β
