The woods were quiet. Apart from the chirping of insects and birds, there wasn't even the roar of large beasts. There might have been beasts before this year, but since the arrival of a large number of refugees and the repeated sweeps of locust-like hunters, there were only small beasts left in the forest of the Hillsbrad Hills.
The two walked side by side for a long time without saying a word.
The atmosphere was quiet and a little awkward.
Especially Aurelia, she began to panic a little. After a year, Du Ke had undergone an earth-shattering transformation. She heard that the curse made him a little older, but she didn't expect that he had changed from a 15-year-old boy to a handsome young man.
In the past, she could look down on Duque with her tall figure, satisfying her impression of a big sister. Now, because of Duque's growth, even when she walked with Duque, she felt like … lovers?
Originally, she was just curious about Duque. Because a 15-year-old human male was no different from a baby in Aurelia's eyes. So, Aurelia could tease Duque and make fun of Duque.
But in just a year, Duque's change was so great that Aurelia was tongue-tied.
Regardless of whether it was in terms of physical growth, strength, or status, it was all in terms of growth. This Duque was completely unfamiliar to her. But Duque seemed to know her very well and had prepared everything for her, which made her feel extremely warm.
Not only was Aurelia confused, but Duque was also confused.
After thinking for a long time, Aurelia spoke first. "Actually … you don't have to care about me being in prison. Uh, I should say that I'm just in solitary confinement. I'm also treated well in prison. When you grow up, you will understand that everyone has to be responsible for what they do. Although I was punished for my mistakes, it has nothing to do with you. Don't feel like you owe me anything. "
Duque smiled faintly. "I don't think the kings of the seven human kingdoms are stupid enough to let a child be the deputy commander of the alliance."
Aurelia was choked by Duque. "You …"
Aurelia suddenly became angry. She had been imprisoned for three months for this brat, and this brat was actually showing off. Aurelia reached out and wanted to knock Duque's head.
Duque's bright eyes made Aurelia's movements stop.
"Aurelia, from the moment Cirvanas told me about this, I've been wondering if I should do something to make it up to you. But I realized that if I did that, it would only make you feel worse, and it would also make you look down on me … "
Aurelia blinked her big green eyes as if saying, "How did you know?"
"Not only do you have a sense of responsibility, but you are also a person with a sense of justice and fairness. You will feel that it is your responsibility. Even if I have a vested interest, I should not be responsible for your mistakes. Right? "
Aurelia took a deep breath. "That's right."
Duque screamed in his heart, "That's why you will become the heroine of later generations, the heroine whose statue is placed in Storm City's King's Valley, admired by all the citizens of Storm City and everyone who comes to King's Valley."
A kind of excitement surged in Duque's heart.
"The reason why you mobilized the Windrunner Family to send out troops is not because I am the deputy commander, but because on one hand, you discovered that the situation on the continent is deteriorating rapidly. On the other hand, you think that with my help, you have more confidence in letting your people play a better role in this war. Because you have also carefully studied everything I have done in the past year, right? "
Duque's words went straight to the bottom of Aurelia's heart. She didn't know when it started, but Aurelia's eyes were a little red. That was the feeling of relief that came from finally being recognized for everything she had done.
In the end, she nodded heavily.
At this time, Duque suddenly reached out to grab Aurelia's arms. Aurelia was stunned for a moment, but in the end, she didn't resist.
Duque stared into the clear eyes of this beautiful Elven Ranger.
"Straighten your chest, Sister Aurelia! Because of the letter you sent, Storm City had a once-in-a-century magic genius. This genius relied on this circuit to support Karazhan in the battle to kill his way to Sargeras. "
"Because of your letter, Storm City had a great mage who was good at using flames. He burned hundreds of thousands of orcs."
"And because of your letter, this genius young mage created a giant ice block and saved 50,000 elite Stormwind warriors who had no hope of escaping."
"In the end, because of your letter, a new legend was created, and this legend continues to write the legend of him and Aurelia Windrunner as the deputy commander of the alliance."
"With your momentary sacrifice, you cultivated a child of destiny who changed the history of the entire continent, and even the fate of all intelligent creatures on the planet."
"Sister, will you feel better if I say this?"
Duque's words were like enlightenment, and it suddenly made Aurelia wake up.
Aurelia's eyes were filled with that almost untamed wildness again. "Oh, why didn't I realize before that you are so good at talking, kid? In that case, my three months in the little black room were not in vain! It seems that I should consider giving you a trophy or something. "
Duque smiled. "That's good."
"Stop being so smug! I spent three months in a little black room with no fun places to go and no books. That's not a small price to pay! Kid, are you ready to be my servant? "
"Uh, I've been very busy recently. I probably have to work for someone, and it might be a hundred years later," Duque said seriously.
"Bastard! No one can renege on a debt to me, Aurelia Windrunner! No one! "Aurelia pretended to roar and choked Duque's neck.
"Hmph! As a man, he will definitely not owe anything! "
"Oh, that's it?" Aurelia suddenly remembered something. "We sisters look quite similar, and you humans all look the same to us High Elves. How did you tell us apart? Luckily, you did, or else I really wouldn't be able to defend myself. "
Duque remained silent, because everything he said could be used as evidence in court.
Yes, if he confessed, he would be severely punished; if he resisted, he would be lenient, and he would go home for the New Year.
Unfortunately, Duque only controlled his mouth, but forgot to control his eyes. He unconsciously glanced at Aurelia's cleavage.
With just one glance, Duque was in trouble.
Aurelia suddenly realized that this little bastard could tell them apart based on the weight of the Meatmountain Demon King!?
"You bastard —"
"Slap!" A crisp slap came from the forest, startling countless birds.
