Evil will not deceive you

Although Li Ke could not feel the slightest bit of majesty from Terenas, in view of Lordaeron's powerful national power, Li Ke still lowered his head and saluted Terenas. Etiquette of the Holy Light Monk.

After all, he does not have the status of a knight at all, nor does he have any military position. If he uses civilian etiquette, Li Ke would rather stab Terenas to death with a sword and perform a classic blood of the king drama.

But it was obvious that Terenas had no intention of being too harsh on him. Instead, when he looked at him and Varian, he forcibly cheered up and stood up from the throne.

"Oh, Varian, my child, you are finally willing to come see me. I thought you would be lazy among the wine... But it seems that you have regained a lot of energy, which is good."

He looked at Varian's face full of smiles and care. To be fair, Terenas really liked Varian. He was brave, kind, considerate of civilians, grateful, and had the responsibilities of a king and was willing to do everything for himself. He sacrificed everything for the continuation of his country and his family.

No one dislikes such a king.

He walked up to Varian and grabbed Varian's hand. At this moment, even though he was slightly decadent, Varian was still majestic and looked like a child.

He looked at Terenas' eyes with excitement and care, and Varian felt guilty for a while. The reason why his life had been able to return to some normality recently was entirely due to those black illusion flakes, and he also He knew this was not good, but he couldn't live without his wife.

So seeing the joy and love in Terenas's eyes for his renewed vigor, Varian felt a sincere guilt.

"Your Majesty Terenas, I..."

But Terenas interrupted, looking at Varian seriously.

"Call me uncle, Varian. There are no outsiders here. It has been difficult enough for you these past years. I don't want you to still not feel the warmth of home when you come to my place."

oh?

Li Ke looked around and made sure that he was not invisible.

But at this time, he doesn't worry about such things anymore. Since the old king wants to play a game of balance, then just let him play a game of balance.

But when Arthas thrust Frostmourne into the opponent's chest, he probably wouldn't even know that his so-called plan would never exist from the beginning.

"Yes, Uncle Terenas."

Varian decided that his neck was a little red. This man who lost his wife just a few years after getting married, a man who was already thirty years old, had mist in his eyes.

Terenas couldn't help but sigh and hugged Varian, who was much stronger than him.

Li Ke didn't know how to judge this scene, because this was not just acting. After gaining the power of shadow and holy light, his sensitivity to emotions skyrocketed.

So he could be sure that the emotions displayed by Terenas and Varian at this moment were real.

Yes, Terenas really liked Varian, and Varian really faced Terenas with gratitude and reverence.

Obviously, when Varian was growing up, Terenas most likely assumed the responsibilities of his father, and he was also a perfect father.

Li Ke's feeling is very strange.

It was obvious in his deduction that Terenas was a cold and ruthless political machine, and although Varian knew that he was about to be annexed, he didn't really care.

But now it seems that the relationship and thoughts between Varian and Tenaris are not so simple that can be summarized by this logic.

Varian should have a certain repayment mentality, and Terenas' appreciation of Varian also made him delay the annexation of the Kingdom of Stormwind.

There may be other considerations here, warm and not so warm, but there is no doubt that although politics is cold, most of the time the people who implement politics are still human beings.

rather than a machine.

After all, at the end of the day, politics is about serving people, and so is the law.

"Quite interesting."

Li Ke didn't speak, just watched the two people hugging each other quietly.

After a while, Varian let go of Terenas. He wanted to say something to the king who was like his father, but he also knew that the person he brought with him this time was very important to Tyrenas. It's also important for Nas.

So he took a deep breath and watched Terenas speak.

"Uncle Terenas, I haven't seen Arthas anywhere. There is also Calia. I want to give her my best wishes."

"They are at the back. You can look for them at any time. Oh, the girl Jaina and His Highness Prince Kael'thas are also there. If you are here, the atmosphere between them may be better."

Terenas patted Varian's arm with a smile. At this time, he didn't look like the first-generation hero of Lordaeron at all. Instead, he looked like an old farmer looking after his children.

"Okay, I'm going to see them right now, Uncle Terenas, I think the banquet tonight will be interesting!"

Varian offered to leave, and Terenas nodded.

"That's fine, after all, there's still a long time."

After he finished speaking, Varian cast a complicated expression on Li Ke and then left.

If Li Ke is really the child of Terenas, then he should take care of Li Ke as a matter of course, but the complexity ends here. He and Alsace have been playmates since childhood. Like brothers, they have a very close relationship. good.

So he could only look at Li Ke with complicated eyes.

Uther did not leave, but after looking at Li Ke's half-smiling expression, Terenas waved his hand to Uther.

"Old man, go and see those children. If they don't have a respectable elder there, I'm afraid it will make the Elf Prince look ugly."

Uther glanced at Li Ke hesitantly, because Li Ke didn't even take off the sword on his body. Although he saw that it was a decorative sword, something might still go wrong.

However, since Terenas said it was okay, and Li Ke was a paladin who was like a miracle, there should be no problem.

"Okay, Your Majesty. But Mr. Li Ke, although I believe you will not do anything excessive, this is after all..."

"clear."

Li Ke smiled and took off the sharp sword from his waist. As soon as the sword was out of his hand, it quickly weathered and turned into a slightly more gorgeous sword.

Uther glanced at Li Ke in surprise, and then left.

And Li Ke finally met Terenas for real.

"I think you must be wondering why I want to act like you are my illegitimate child, right?"

Li Ke nodded, but at this moment, he performed a knightly etiquette towards Terenas.

"Yes, Your Majesty, but I will fulfill the role you gave me. After all, no matter what, you are the only emperor of this continent."
