"I see...... Although Ashley Hill didn't say it very directly, Alan understood everything.

What Ashley Hill really wanted to ask was not that, but Intiana's mind...... It was precisely because she did not give him a clear answer, and did not keep the agreement, that Ashley Hill was confused, and wondered if Intiana's answer was just perfunctory to him at that time......

But Alan saw a lot of different things from her choice, completely different from what Ashley Hill saw in her eyes.

"I think maybe that's because she's ......just like you," Alan said after a moment's thought, "and she also thinks about you in everything, so she wants you to live well." ”

Ashley Hill was stunned for a moment, and retorted, "But that was just her one-sided idea! If it was really me, I shouldn't have made that kind of decision!"

"Loveliness is like that, great and selfish. "Although I haven't been in contact with her, it's not hard to see from her words and deeds what kind of person she is and who she really values...... At the very least, I saw that she entrusted her trust and desire to you. ”

She knew she was going to die there...... But she refuses to go with me, or die with me!" Ashley Hill said, "even if I had stayed and helped her, and maybe we would all survive...... But she didn't believe me!"

"Don't you understand......" Alan frowned slightly and shook his head, "She chose to stay by herself precisely because she trusted you......"

Hearing Alan's words, Ashley Hill was stunned.

"Because she wants you to fulfill your original dream, she is desperate to protect you. "Her eyes don't lie...... I can feel that she is really thinking about everything for you......"

"But......" Ashley Hill wanted to say something, but opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

"Some things are like this......" Allen stared at Ashley Hill, his eyes jumping with unprecedented seriousness, "maybe no matter how hard we work, how hard we struggle, and even how desperate we try, in the end the result is still not what we want...... But should we stop because of that?"

Ashley Hill's mouth opened slightly, staring at Alan in silence.

"It shouldn't be. Alan continued, without hesitation in his tone, "Because if you don't try, you won't get anything from success or failure." ”

Ashley Hill's eyes flickered, and his chest began to rise and fall violently.

"Of course, she knew that her choice might not change your fate, but she chose to do it anyway...... Because whether she succeeds or not, there is hope for you and Celonari. Allen added, "It is precisely because of this mood that she can make a firm choice and let you survive......"

"She may not have thought it through at all!" he gritted his teeth lightly, and his tone was slightly urgent: "If you pay such a big price and don't get what you want in the end, then not only this result, but also the time spent on it, the energy you have paid, and everything you have paid to get it will be in vain!"

"No, I don't think they're in vain......," Alan replied immediately, in a calm tone, "even if the results are not what I wanted to see at the beginning, or even far from them, the process of working for them should be full of meaning......"

Ashley Hill was stunned.

"As a king, there is nothing wrong with you paying attention to results, because you need to think not only about yourself, but also about your subordinates, your subjects...... So whatever you do, you need to give them an explanation, you need to have a result, a result that can convince everyone. Alan added, "But it's the identity of this 'king' that restricts your thoughts, so you can't understand her ......."

Not knowing whether to be angry or excited, Ashley Hill suddenly began to tremble.

"Results are important, but they don't mean everything. Alan stared at him closely, "There is no right or wrong thing to do for the sake of results, and to do something for the sake of meaning, and there is no such thing as good or bad...... It's just two different choices, depending on what you're willing to give everything you have for it. ”

Ashley Hill was silent for a long time, and his clenched hands suddenly let go, and he slowly walked to the edge of the cliff. He looked down a little dazedly, muttering the same name over and over again: "Intiana......"

Like a statue.

I don't know how long it took, but when he turned around and walked back again, the distress and confusion on his face were gone.

Alan also breathed a sigh of relief - it seemed that Ashley Hill's knot had been untied.

The frozen atmosphere finally flowed again.

"Actually, you're the same as her, aren't you?" Alan smiled and looked at Ashley Hill, "because you don't know what the final outcome will be, whether your wishes will come true, and whether she will agree to you in the end, but you still set foot on this road without hesitation, and did your best to unify Hepp and bring peace to the people, and you persevered until the last moment...... It's just that you don't notice it. ”

"Huh...... Sure enough, it's no accident that you're standing in front of this king now......" Ashley Hill said this, suddenly breathing a sigh of relief and relieved, "You didn't let this king look forward in vain. ”

"What?" Alan was a little confused.

"Actually, I had a strange feeling from the first time I met you, you and Intiana seem to be a bit like ...... in some places," Ashley Hill said and suddenly laughed, "I didn't understand until yesterday after talking to you, so it is...... You always prioritize others in everything, you have a keen sense of intuition, and you can easily perceive people's hearts...... And this kind of preaching-like tone, even in front of this king, I don't know how to restrain ......"

"Uh......" Alan touched his nose embarrassedly. He was thinking about those things too seriously just now, completely forgetting that the one standing in front of him was a king......

"I didn't intend to see you, I've always been impatient with children...... I don't know why I suddenly put my hand on the hilt of my sword on a whim, and by the time I came to my senses, I had already opened the door for you......" Ashley Hill said and laughed again, "Now it seems that this may not be a coincidence......

Hearing him say this, Allen couldn't help but feel a sense of fate rise in his heart.

"It's fate...... It is destined that at this time, it is up to you to help the king untie this knot......" said Ashley Hill.

"It's a great honor. ”

"I was really surprised, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was a child who helped me find the answer...... It seems that you are indeed not ordinary......" Ashley Hill said, turning his back on them, "then, as a reward......"

Alan was stunned, already guessing what he wanted to say.

"You can leave...... Ashley Hill said blandly, "at any time." ”
