"It seems like you still don't quite understand what you are to me, and what you've given me. Li Ke, you're too much like a saint. Even though you can still show your weakness and desires, you're not like the human I know … Because you're too idealistic. "
The young lady's face was stern.
"When I met you, you were just a guy on the verge of death, a weirdo who would even accept extortion with a smile. I only think that you're a gutless fool, a guy who will be robbed of everything in the end. I'll soon forget about you. "
She paused.
"However, when I was betrayed by my former teacher, it was you who saved me and began to teach me abilities. You also told me that the person who had always been betrayed and unwanted since young was needed by countless people. All the sufferings I've suffered are things that people will cheer for in the future. They even casually gave me the money that I've always regarded as my life, and told me that it's not something I can chase for my entire life, because compared to me, these things are too cheap. "
She was visibly agitated. Li Ke also recalled the time when they traveled in the desert together. He had to admit that his mentality had changed a little because of Sarah and her company. Moreover, the tragic things he saw along the way and her attitude towards those invaders and exploiters who were used to exploiting and sucking the blood of their country were the main culprits that made his heart change faster and faster.
"You said that I should save those in poverty and pain because my kindness is the most precious thing in the desert, so it's a pity that it's tainted by money. You also said that I'm the princess of a lost empire, and that I'm born with the obligation to bear the hopes and expectations of the people of this country for the future. At the time, I thought you were crazy to say that, but your skills and money were real, so I planned to only leave you enough money for your travel expenses after I learned your skills. "
Li Ke could see tears in her eyes. He turned his head away guiltily because he didn't actually teach Sivir anything. When Azir and Nasus reappeared in the world, he ran away.
"But what you said was true. You said that I'm the princess of this country, and you really found Nasus, the last emperor of this country. It could be said that you gave me the identity of a princess and the so-called future empress, and allowed me to receive the teachings of a legendary figure. You allowed me to become an important person that I didn't even dare to imagine before. You allowed me to not have to worry about starving to death the next day or being betrayed by someone. You can even make me say things that I didn't even dare to think about or stop in the past. "
Sivir paused again. She tilted her head so that Li Ke couldn't see her eyes.
"You changed my life. You turned an orphan who could die in the desert at any time into the future empress of this empire. You gave me a family. You gave me the living environment that I dreamed of. You gave me the future that I once longed for but once dashed. You also showed me a vaster world and a sky. But … "
She took a deep breath to force herself to continue.
"… Why did you abandon me?"
Li Ke could see her tears falling onto the golden floor and shattering into pieces. Sivir wasn't the strong-willed mercenary in the game. Instead, she was a young girl that he had pulled out of a quagmire and given her hope. She was a young girl that he had saved from the abyss and given her hope.
"Because I thought you could do it, Sivir. In the future I saw, and in my observation of you, you are a strong and strong woman. You can face all of this alone and become a qualified empress. You can lead the people of Shurima to happiness and be remembered for generations to come. "
He took a deep breath. Even though Sivir had escaped in the original story, her sense of responsibility meant that she would eventually shoulder the fate of the empire on her shoulders.
"A wise and qualified empress that you can overthrow? If you were destined to be our enemy, why didn't you let me die in the desert? Why did you give me such hope? Why did you let me experience all of this? Why didn't you tell me this back then? Did you think I wouldn't be able to let go of this and leave with you? Why do you think I would like this kind of life, and not be taught by your side? Why did you think you could decide my life for me? Why did you become my enemy when I accepted all of this? "
The young girl's question carried an unimaginable weight because this was indeed Li Ke's fault. But there was nothing he could do about it because this was indeed a mistake that Li Ke had made when he was young.
"So, all this time, you've always given me the feeling of a high and mighty god, unscrupulously deciding the fate of the people around you, making you even more of a saint and making me more and more like an unreasonable little girl … It's really funny. That Sarah, who doesn't want anything but to get into your bed, was accepted by you, but I was mercilessly abandoned by you."
Sivir's face was full of mockery, and Li Ke could see that her face was full of tears.
"I'm sorry, Sivir. This is indeed my mistake, but … "
Li Ke didn't know how to explain it. This problem indeed arose because of him.
"So even now, you're still unwilling to let me stand by your side because you're a saint, isn't it? You don't have the desires of mortals. Only when mortals disregard their dignity and crawl at your feet, wanting to grab your shoes even if they die, will you smile bitterly and say 'I really can't do anything to you', and then accept the humble love of mortals? "
Sivir laughed coldly. She was more and more disappointed in Li Ke. She didn't understand why Li Ke was pretending to be a saint. The solution had always been there. He didn't need to make her sad and despair to solve the problem perfectly.
What was he hesitating about?
Li Ke took a deep breath. He walked to Sivir's side and hugged the crying girl.
"I won't abandon you this time."
