Confession (2) [End with inverted V]
"Alex..."
Inger blinked his eyes at the drowsy tone of someone who had just woken up.
Alex said calmly, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Inger felt that he was angry and shook his head slowly, and another face appeared in his sight.
When Elena's expression calmed down, it became less aggressive and more attractive.
Inger raised his lips slightly: "You two have good faces for my eyes."
Inger sat up, holding his stomach, and realized that the wounds on his chest, waist and abdomen were gone.
He put his hands aside somewhat awkwardly and leaned against the headboard of the bed.
He actually took a lot of anesthetics to relieve the pain, but it was still a lot to bear.
Before Archbishop Vito could arrive, he completely lost consciousness, but because he lost blood so quickly, he did not suffer for long.
Seeing Elena sitting beside him unharmed, he felt a little relieved.
Inger looked at Alex: "Why did you come back so soon?"
Alex looked at him straight in the eyes. "You didn't wake up until five days later."
Inger was stunned for a moment. The previous times it didn't take so long, at least no more than a day. Why did it take five days this time?
This time, completely random?
Inger thought for a while but couldn't come up with a solution, so he asked again, "What about you? How is it?"
"Bishop Leonardine helped stop Lucia."
Inger breathed a sigh of relief, then asked curiously, "Bishop Leonardine? She...didn't..." last time. He turned to look at Elena.
Elena looked at him quietly, which made Inger feel a little flustered unconsciously. He couldn't read what Elena was thinking.
Alex said, "I told her."
Inger nodded: "Well, anyway, it's good to stop it."
Alex handed him a glass of water and said to Elena, "We sent the elf wizard to rescue the Emperor of Levitra. He should be in your northeastern territory now. She sent a letter earlier, which means the rescue was successful."
Elena clenched her fist and said nothing.
Inger took a sip of water and said, "Elena, you should take your people back later. I think you still have a lot of things to deal with in your country. It's time to end this war."
Elena paused for a moment and asked, "If you let me go, aren't you afraid that I'll come back and kill you after I've dealt with my affairs at home?"
Inger laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid that we will pretend to let you go and then sneak up from behind and kill you all?"
Elena laughed. "That's right, it's a stupid question. If you want to kill me, you won't save me."
Her tone changed again: "I didn't ask you to save me."
Alex narrowed his eyes.
Inger said calmly: "I saved you for our purpose."
Elena continued: "I will return this favor to you."
Inger went ahead and said, "First of all, we hope to stop this war. As for the future, I think there will be many places where we can use your help."
Elena nodded: "I won't say anything about myself, but it's time to stop. Besides, even if we continue, we don't have much chance of winning."
Alex suddenly said, "You are always so quick to admit mistakes and failures."
Elena said frankly, "There is nothing wrong with admitting it. Besides, you took advantage of the prophet and made sufficient preparations. We lost with conviction. Judging from your attitude towards prisoners and soldiers, I think that with a crown prince like you, this country should not be too bad. After all, this is not the era of the former Emperor Qiu Ne."
Alex heard the hidden meaning in her words and said sarcastically, "How arrogant."
Elena smiled and said, "Same here."
Inger watched the conversation between the two and felt inexplicably relieved.
The two protagonists had a proper conversation face to face for the first time, and they were closer than he had imagined.
Elena looked at Inger and said, "Regarding the matter of the demons, I will talk to you about it some other day, um, probably soon, when we sign the peace treaty."
Inger was surprised and asked, "You accept this?"
Elena asked back, "Don't you just want me to believe it? And even if it's fake, I won't lose anything. I'll just treat it as a story. Why shouldn't I understand?"
Inger laughed, but the weight hanging in his heart finally relaxed.
Despite many twists and turns, they successfully established this connection.
Elena asked again: "And you, are you always like this?"
Inger was stunned: "What?"
"I have never seen such a stupid person who would sacrifice himself just to make others owe you a favor."
Alex's grip on Inger's wrist tightened instantly.
Inger laughed dryly: "I uh..."
Elena said harshly: "Your immortality is really suitable for you, but it's not the way to use it. I don't think it's that good. How precious is an immortal life? And you always use this ability for others. Are other people's lives more important than your own?"
This is the biggest difference between Elena and Alex.
Inger couldn't help but smile.
Alex retorted: "That's not something you are qualified to say."
Elena snorted and said, "Why are you pretending? Don't you think the same in your heart? You hope that he can live well rather than risk his life to save me, you or anyone else. Am I wrong?"
Alex's eyes were covered with a layer of shadow.
Inger said helplessly: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."
Elena: "Any miracle has a price. You can't keep doing this forever. And you underestimate the greed and evil intentions of human beings. You will be swallowed up sooner or later. I'll just remind you. After all, you are my savior."
Alex's voice turned completely cold: "If you've said enough, get out of here."
Elena removed the shackles, moved her wrists, and said with a smile: "Alex, you are much funnier when you are fierce than when you smile."
Inger looked at her oddly.
So, after telling her the necessary information, Elena took her people, along with all the captives from Chune, and went back together. They headed northwest, and Chune sent several teams of people to monitor them and clear the way for them.
The reason why Alex and the others felt at ease was, firstly, because they trusted Elena, and secondly, they already had enough strength and were not afraid that Elena would go back on her word.
In this situation of internal chaos and external enemies, there is no need for Elena to do such a stupid thing.
Of course, there were many voices of opposition within Qune, but thanks to Alex's accumulated prestige, they were all suppressed, and the final result after half a month also made them satisfied.
Fighting on the Southwestern Front ceased.
In just a dozen days, Elena successfully led her troops back to the capital, seized back power, and welcomed Emperor Levitra back to the palace.
Their biggest mistake was not being able to kill Elena outright.
But Elena came back soon.
A man walked into the Qiunie camp without any fear.
"What are you doing here? What happened?"
Elena spread her hands and said, "My father is dying, so I am here as a hostage. It's your turn to go over and help us rescue people."
Alex stood in front of Inger, "Don't even think about it."
Inger held his shoulder and said, "Don't believe what he said in anger." He asked, "Is the situation serious?"
Elena nodded: "It is indeed very serious."
Alex: "You don't look serious at all."
Elena thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because he has lived long enough?" She smiled and said, "For people like us, it's not surprising to die any day. We have long been prepared to die in battle or be assassinated. There's nothing to cry about. He and I are both like this. Oh, you may not understand."
Inger said, "I will go, and you should come with me."
Elena smiled even more deeply, and said, "Look at the people around you. Even if you agree, they won't. I will stay here and wait for you to come back. And I am also afraid that my father will hold you captive after he heals you. Only I can bring you back."
Elena voluntarily put on the insulated handcuffs and sat in the now empty prisoner camp like the master, which made many people itchy but helpless.
Inger also went to Levitra alone.
During the journey, he kept in touch with Alex using the nameplate.
The situation on Li Wei'er's side also stabilized, opening the door for his entry.
Yet he could intuitively sense their fear of him.
Inger could only try his best not to pay attention to those people's expressions.
In fact, he should be the one who walked into the tiger's den, right? !
Each of these knights was like a little giant, and he wanted to just run away.
"Yes! You must never do the same thing to Elena again! Do you hear me?"
Inger whispered, "You've said it seven or eight times. I know. Don't repeat it again."
"The emperor is dead, so be it." Alex's voice suddenly calmed down: "If you do the same thing again, I will lock you in your room when you come back."
Inger: “…”
Seeing the door of King Livil's bedroom open, he quickly withdrew his magic power and turned off the communication.
Just like what is depicted in the comics, he is a vigorous, strong and majestic old man.
Well, in this world, fifty-something is not too old.
Because he was in a coma, Inger couldn't greet him.
Milia next to her didn't even have time to wipe the sweat off her forehead.
She is not actually good at healing magic.
Even though the poison cannot be completely eradicated, it is a lot of hard work to have been able to hold on until now.
Inger discussed the Mackay Olin situation with her.
He first used a spell to extract the poison, and then used the method he learned from Bixi to heal Mackay Olin's body.
The internal organs damaged by the toxins were quickly repaired by Inger.
Of course, he used his own spells.
Millia and other wizards from Levil were stunned.
Inger stayed in Levitra for a week.
This week, Li Weier treated him as a VIP, at least he was fully polite.
Milia was very friendly to him and would discuss magic with him all day long.
After discussing with Alex, Inger decided to tell her about the new spell.
Now, Milia simply moved in with him and didn't dare to waste a minute except for treatment.
But Inger had to go back eventually.
Mackay Olin looks like an ordinary old man sitting on the bed, if you ignore his muscles.
*"It's such a pity. Lady Milia and I are reluctant to see Wizard Neka go." Mackaolin said this with an expression a hundred times more friendly than Elena's.
Inger could only smile and say, "Thank you for your hospitality during this time. We will see each other again when everything is ready."
*"I won't say more about my gratitude. I'll find time to send the gift to Quene." Mackay O'Rington paused for a moment and said with a smile, "The next time we meet will be at the negotiation table."
Inger replied calmly: "Don't worry, we will offer unconditional peace talks."
Now, doubts also appeared in Mackay Olin's eyes.
Given Qiu Nie's current strength and situation, no matter what excessive demands he made, it would be difficult for Li Weier to refuse.
Inger smiled and said, "It's true. All we want is to stop the war. As for the rest, Elena will tell you when the time comes."
