[Dragon Age] Under Six Feet

?She didn't say "what do you want to leave behind" and didn't bring it up afterward, as if the conversation never happened.

The recovered Kellyanne adjusted to life at Amarantine with astonishing speed.She violently cleared out the nobles who attempted to rebel, recruited new Gray Guards, and began to investigate the new Darkborn, everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

Then, the transfer order from Ole was passed to Logan.

Logan always thought that the dark blood would be the last dose of poison he drank.However, it was clear that the Creator would not let him off so easily. Kellyanne bluntly said that living was just the beginning of the torment, and she was farsighted once in a while.

The expressions on the faces of the other gray guards were almost pity when they learned about this, but maybe Kailian had warned them beforehand, or maybe his reputation still made them afraid, so no one said much, the commander of the gray guards After the announcement, the entire Sleepless Fortress returned to its previous state, as if nothing had happened.

It wasn't until Ole's gray guards arrived in Amarantine, when he was about to follow the Ole people to leave Feryden for Montesima, that Kellyanne finally remembered this and reacted .

It was late at night when she came to Logan's room.As the owner of Amarantine, Kellyanne still wears that cheap and thin dress. Even though it cannot conceal the youth and beauty brought by her youth, Logan still feels sad seeing her indifferent appearance .

Don't care about money, don't care about material things, don't care about victory or glory, have no important people, and don't care about things, which makes her an indestructible warrior, but it's hard to be called a successful person.Especially when every companion around her has a strong motivation to survive, as a leader, as a leader, she has no goals.

In comparison, I don't know which one is more ironic, her life or my own.

Anyway, she was considered a lord. Looking at the patch on her clothes, Logan suddenly felt that it was an eyesore. The manager of the Sleepless Fortress seemed to be a person, and she couldn't even manage the lord's basic necessities of life. She probably did it on purpose.

"Look at what?"

She was not polite at all, straight away from the side of the bed, and sat down.

Logan pointed to Kellyanne's skirt: "You know that this will embarrass your servants, right?"

"What does it matter to me whether they are embarrassed or not?"

Taking back the above statement, she is not living without a goal. Although disgusting others is a low-level thing, it is enough for her to use it as a driving force for survival.Logan rubbed his forehead helplessly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "When Marek gave Warren to me, I always refused to live in the castle."

"why?"

"Because I feel that after I live in it, I am no different from those nobles who eat raw human flesh."

"You are indeed no different from them."

"..."

Kelly Ann raised a triumphant smile: "Learn from you, you're welcome."

Logan gave her a cold look and didn't answer, but continued: "Then Celia told me that such actions are meaningless."

"Celia, that's your wife."

"Not at that time."

"What do you want to clarify?"

"Being a maverick can't bring back everything you're used to." Besides, she had already lost her wedding dress and ring, and Logan couldn't see the value of keeping this shabby dress, "Since you don't miss it, don't take it." These things torture people."

It's just that Kellyanne didn't intend to listen at all. She looked at Logan up and down, and the smile on her face remained unchanged: "It came from your mouth."

He knew what she meant.

The new Duke who lived in Warren Castle turned out to be the traitor who almost destroyed Ferelden.How much the old Logan despised the machinations among the nobles, and how much he did for Feriden.He is indeed not qualified to persuade her to give in, but it is precisely because he has come step by step that Logan understands that all of this is the truth.

No matter how much Kailian resisted the fame of a hero and the title of a lord, these laurels weighed heavily on her body, and she couldn't get rid of them.It is indeed terrible to become someone you hate, but no one can avoid such a process.

"I'm just telling the truth."

She put away her smile, Logan thought that the gray guard would taunt as usual, and even attack herself in the way she was best at.But what he really got was silence, and Kellyanne's green eyes were suddenly filled with complicated light, she stared at Logan closely for a while, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

"Even if I save your life, I never thought I would have such a conversation with you."

Logan laughed a few times: "To each other."

"You are afraid of my death."

She said without end, he was instinctively surprised by the elf's tentative and confused expression.But Kellyanne didn't seem to notice, she repeated again: "You are afraid of my death. I have been thinking about this question since I came down from Military Peak, why?"

That night at Military Peak, she said that he should hate her, that without her she would still be that duke and hero.To this day, Logan still clearly remembers Kellyanne's expression when he said this sentence.

"You said it yourself that hate makes everything easier."

However, Kellyanne shook her head: "This is a question I asked myself. But I am asking you now, why? I wish I could answer this question."

Not hating, doesn't mean that her life and death have anything to do with her.

"Kelian."

She said she had been thinking about it.

"You know the answer."

The elf pursed her lips.

For a long time, they just maintained such a confrontational posture, so long that Logan felt that if she didn't speak again, he had the right to kick her out.But just as he thought about it, Kellyanne finally broke the silence.

"Yes, I know." When she said this, she was cold and terrifying, "And tomorrow you will leave Feryden, and maybe you will never get the chance to come back in your life."

"I can't come back now," Logan replied to what she said on Military Peak. "What's the difference to you?"

Kellyanne shrugged.

Of course it made no difference to her.Marek's bastard broke with her, and took Fereden's crown; Morrigan, satisfied with his purpose, turned away without looking back.Her comrades-in-arms, her companions, all ended up far away from her life trajectory. What is the meaning of a mere Logan McGrady, a defeated underling, to Gray Guard?

"I want to leave something behind."

She repeated the words that Logan had almost forgotten, and Kellyanne leaned forward, reached out, and dropped her fingertips on his knee.

Logan wondered exactly why she had come up with this idea.Is it because I got the answer, or because I came back from the ghost gate and came back with some insights?In fact, even if the high fever burnt out her brain, no matter what her thoughts were, and no matter how unreasonable it seemed to Logan, Kellyanne had indeed made this decision.

"It's not funny..."

"If you say no, I'll go."

He couldn't speak.

Perhaps, it is precisely because she will have nothing to do with him from now on, grievances and hatreds, countless debts and favors, no matter how many attacks and persuasions, no matter how complicated feelings and respect, when they parted tomorrow, they would all be turned into smoke and fly away. Ash dissipates.

"Grey Guard," Logan warned in a low voice, seeing the distance getting closer inch by inch, "you will regret it."

Yet Kellyanne just watched him quietly, with amazing composure and surging waves in her green eyes close at hand.

"Afraid of losing, you will regret it." The soft lips opened slightly, "Is there anything worth remembering and cherishing between you and me?"

Then she kissed.

Indeed not.

Even if there is no hatred, no disgust, and even after everything Logan can admit that he respects her, it does not mean that there is a memory between her and himself that can leave traces—she never cares, and Logan understands very well that life The intersection of trajectories does not mean that they can have feelings.For Logan, there are too many people who have walked the road with him; for her, she hardly cares, watching people coming and going one after another indifferently.

However, it was only "almost", so Kellyanne said, "I hope there is something left."

Why fear her death?Logan thought that what she was thinking might not be the answer, because it was too simple, so simple that they couldn't express the deep meaning behind it.

If you don't want to lose, you will be afraid. ?
