Chapter 25 - Vengeance before death and join hands after death
…………
A soldier on duty was sucking magic. He was holding a string of pendants in his hand and staring at the ornament. Soon, the soldier felt the warmth of the arcane rushing across his body, making him look ecstatic and curled up...
Sylvanas glanced at him, and when she noticed the magic light of the jewelry, her skin felt a slight sting. At this time, the Wind Walker walked over and snatched the jewelry. The intoxicating magic flow was suddenly cut off, and the Sindorai, who was standing guard, immediately ignited anger. He wanted to teach the guy who disturbed him a lesson, but when he saw that it was Sylvanas, he felt like he was poured with a basin of cold water and calmed down again.
"Miss?"
"Keep balance, soldier." Sylvanas returned the pendant to him, "Magic is limited, both to avoid scarcity and to avoid indulgence."
"Yes, ma'am, you're right." The soldier nodded quickly. Wind Walker passed by him. As a former leader, Sylvanas had no important position now, but judging from the soldier's attitude towards her in this little episode, her prestige did not decrease with time, and she could still respond.
Sylvanas breathed a deep breath, and she suppressed her excitement. Some things were the general trend and could not be stopped at all. Others could not do it, and Aurelia would not do it either.
She walked through the entrance, walked up the hovering slanting, and then walked past another arch, and came to the Sun Chaser Court. A verbal battle was about to break out.
But what was surprised was that she did not see Aurelia's shadow, and what caught her eye were Romans and Lothema, two complete politicians.
Are they the "vanguard army" sent by Aurelia?
"Ms. Sylvanas." Romans spoke, his voice loud, but the high red collar looked funny no matter how he looked at it. "I thought you wouldn't come."
"How dare you not obey the orders of the Regent?" Sylvanas's voice overshadowed Romans's voice and echoed in the royal court. She knew that Aurelia could hear it.
Lothama said with ulterior motives: "With that being said, you seem to have rejected the Regent's enlistment orders many times. This incident has aroused a lot of suspicion, and I think... is not very good to you."
"Many suspicions?" Sylvanas smiled, "you?" She pointed at Romans, and then at Lothama, "Or? Or is it my sister who is obviously here but dare not show up?"
"Please correct your attitude." Romans knocked the ground with a staff, "Here, there are no relatives, only the Regent and the subjects of Sindore!"
"Well said!" Sylvanas nodded, "There are no relatives, only rulers and subjects." The Wind Walker wanted to know what would happen if Aurelia would react when she heard this, but she hoped that when they met later, they would not play the emotional card and talk about the serious matters directly.
"Since you agree with this, then... can you explain your recent behavior in Silver Moon City?"
"What are you referring to?"
"Recruitment, purchasing weapons, and medicines are all actions that are not approved by the Regent, and are your personal actions. You are forming an army! The Well of the Sun is on, Sylvanas, what do you want to do?" Romans asked.
Sylvanas stared at the great magician, as if he had read his thoughts. The latter was very uncomfortable. "I did not recruit soldiers because I did not stipulate what kind of people could join me. Those Sindores were just following me voluntarily." She paused to see if Romans and Lothemma would object. Obviously they did not, because she was telling the truth. "As for weapons and medicine, they all used my personal savings over the past few hundred years, and my private property. What qualifications do you have to question me?"
"So what is your purpose in forming an army?"
Sylvanas looked up and found that Aurelia stood on the platform behind Romans. The feeling of being looked down on by others made Sylvanas feel very uncomfortable.
Romans and Lothemma bowed and paid tribute to Aurelia, waiting for her to walk down the spinning corridor before straightening her waist.
"You are finally here! You are finally willing to see me."
"If I let you do whatever you want, I really don't know what will happen, Shiva. In a week, several senior officials have reported to me about your private behavior."
Sylvanas's dim eyes met Aurelia's sharp gaze. "Privately? Compared to Lord Regent, I'm pretty open and upright."
"I'm asking you what you mean!" Aurelia shouted. The wound will be completely torn open today.
"Attack Desom and kill Dalkan."
Aurelia nodded clearly, "Very good, then I'll ask you, how many people do you have?"
"More than one hundred people."
"How many people are there in Desom?"
"Thousands... Tens of thousands."
"Since you know, why do you still have to do this? You are going to die and you will have to save hundreds of lives!"
Sylvanas slowly clenched his cold hands. "You know why!"
Yes, I know. Aurelia said this in her heart. She turned her head and said to Lothama and Romans: "You go and inspect the city's defense." Perhaps because she was afraid that they did not understand their orders, Aurelia said again: "Go out!"
Romans and the other saluted and left the royal court. Only the two sisters were left.
"Because of Nathanos, right?"
"You actually dare to mention this name!"
"When will you fight with me?"
"Forever!" The younger one of the Wind Walker family let out a terrifying wail, even alarming Rothema and Romans who were walking away.
Aurelia suddenly felt dizzy, but soon she came to her senses, "I know you didn't understand, I thought you would understand, but I was wrong. I was wrong to relieve Nathanos's pain so quickly. I should let you recognize the fact that he has become a natural disaster."
"He's not the same as Alsace."
"Can you guarantee it?"
"Of course I can!" Sylvanas's eyes shone with glimmer, tears washing her haggard face. "I saw that he had been looking for a way to salvation. When he found himself becoming a dead creature, you were his last hope. He always hoped to see you again. But why... why did you treat him like that?"
"The reason is no longer important, Shiva. Right or wrong is worth nothing." Aurelia choked for a moment, and she realized that her words were too cruel. "Maybe I did something wrong, then I hope Nathanos can forgive me, and I hope you can understand me. Now all I care about is the kingdom and relatives. You, Wenleza, and Belorel, I don't want any of you to have an accident. So stay and don't go to Desom, okay?" Aurelia stretched out her hand to her sister.
