[Dragon Age] Ring

The commander of the trial court sat on a chair, and the portrait of himself given by Emily was placed beside the table. He carefully smoothed the corners that were accidentally broken by Sera, and sighed.

For ten years, Karen buried this memory in his heart for ten years.Unexpectedly, she would be dug out again based on Leiliana's words, "She has been dead for ten years." It was like tearing open an ugly wound that had scabbed over. Karen found that she would still Because of those days, I was so painful that I couldn't breathe.

After he broke through the war room that day, Reliana's attitude towards herself changed subtly—Karen is a straightforward person, but that doesn't mean he can't detect other people's emotions.He knew that Leiliana was Emmel's best friend on the journey to stop the plague, and she was with the Gray Guard when the Ferelden Circle rebelled.Reliana was a little angry, and although she didn't show it, Karen was still uncomfortable.

Just this morning he found an opportunity to mention this matter to her, but Reliana just stopped packing the files and looked up.

"You're torturing yourself with a relationship that leaves no trace, Karen."

The spymaster of the Inquisition remained calm when he said this, but Karen's reaction was as if she had slapped him.

When I closed my eyes, the back of Emily leaving the ring was still so clear.Not only the back view, but also her smile, her fingers, her bare feet and every inch of her skin seemed to be engraved in his mind and couldn't be shaken off.What Karen never realized was that apart from these two sketches that were completely different from her, she had left nothing for herself.

Not even the person who witnessed their relationship was there anymore.

Ten years hadn't faded the memories of the past. Karen still remembered that not long after he arrived in Kirkwall, the news of the end of the plague spread throughout the continent.In just one year, the troubled Ferelden experienced the death of the king, civil war, and the attack of the darkin.Then the arch-demon is dead, and it's all settled.

And this peace was bought with Emily's life.

When he heard the news, it took him half a minute to connect Ferelden's hero with Sorona Emmel, and then the overwhelming darkness swept over his body in an instant, and the fellow Templars were busy He was so grateful for the death of the great demon that he didn't notice his twisted face.When Karen came back to his senses and caught his breath, he found himself standing by the pier in Kirkwall.

He couldn't remember why he subconsciously walked towards the pier. Now that he thought about it, he must have wanted to go back to Felaiden and see her, even if it was just her tombstone.

But he didn't leave Kirkwall in the end.

From the Ring of Ferelden to the Ring of Kirkwall, Karen has always been a Templar, and he cannot leave easily. Responsibility is like a shackle that imprisoned his body|body, his soul, and his love.Karen was not one to get away with his duties, even if the news of Emily's death was too much for him.

Even though Reliana's expression didn't change when she mentioned Emmel, Karen still felt she was blaming herself.The nun's unfathomable eyes finally made him face up to an idea buried in his heart that he dared not touch for ten years.

On the morning before the farewell, the girl in her arms broke free from her arms lightly.Karen woke up because of her movement, and when his consciousness returned to reality, the fragrance of her hair rushed into his nostrils for the first time.His hand was buried in her hair, and Karen subconsciously wanted to kiss her forehead, but Emily turned her head away and avoided his kiss.

She got up from the bed, the sheets slipped off, and her smooth back trembled unconsciously.

Emmel asked him to leave Ferelden to get the Ring.

At that time, her tone was calm with sincerity, and even with the firmness Karen was used to in the past.This made him ignore the grief and despair hidden in it, and also overlooked that she was always so gentle and decisive, so gentle that she forgave him even when he got into a corner and couldn't get out; When I love deeply, I cut everything off with my own death.

——When the great demon dies, the gray guard who killed it will also die. Karen only learned about this after Emmel's death.

Templars and mages would not have a future, but Emmel gave him a future.

She used death to push herself forward, and Karen had to obey.Perhaps it was because those days were so painful that he had forgotten how he recovered from Emily's death.He did survive according to her wishes. He stayed in Kirkwall for seven years. He witnessed the rise of Hawke, experienced the Holy Law War, and finally left the camp of the Templars. In any case, Lun never thought that he would take off that armor one day.

Karen stroked the old portrait, letting the long-lost pain hit his heart.

What a domineering and willful girl.When he was alive, every frown and smile touched his heart, but after her death, Karen still couldn't get rid of her shadow.Ten years is enough time for a young and innocent knight to become an independent commander. Too many things have happened in these ten years. The magic ring that bound her in the past no longer exists, and all mages are free. And then the Templars.

But she didn't wait for this day to come.

Karen didn't know that it would be decades before he could completely forget her.

Maybe in the next ten years, maybe forever.

"--commander!"

The hasty shout of the messenger brought Karen back from his memories to reality. He quickly put away the portrait and stood up.The young soldier's panicked expression made Karen frowned, and he subconsciously put his hands on the hilt of his waist: "What's the matter?"

"Judge, Judge," the communications soldier obviously rushed all the way over, he couldn't even catch his breath when he spoke, but after seeing Karen's unkind expression, he still took a deep breath and spit out all the words that followed , "The Inquisitor returned safely from the Eluvian mirror."

That's good.Karen breathed a sigh of relief, he knew nothing about magic, the court witch explained for a long time, the only thing Karen could understand was that the mirror placed in the courtroom was dangerous.Of course, he couldn't stop Judge Lovelan from deciding to use that thing. As long as she returned safely, Karen wouldn't be able to say anything.

only……

"What else is there?" He frowned and asked, if he just returned safely, the communications soldier would definitely not look like the sky is about to fall.

"He came out of the mirror with the judge." The young soldier's face was full of disbelief, "Also, there is also the hero of Feryden."
