Chapter 650 Pretending To Reconcile

• "But, Wilhelm..." Winnie looked at Wilhelm, hesitating to speak.
• "What's wrong?" Wilhelm raised his hand and gently patted Winnie's head. "If there's something on your mind, just say it. You're not the type to beat around the bush. Is there something you're hiding from me?"
• "Of course not, I wouldn't hide anything from you, Wilhelm. What I wanted to tell you is that after this mission is completed, I might not take on any other tasks. I know you have many other excellent choices under your command, and I'm sure they won't let you down. The most important thing is that I'm getting older now, and I might not be as capable as those who are younger. Moreover, I have a loved one. When faced with life and death decisions, I'm no longer as fearless as I used to be. Now, I worry, I fear, and I hesitate. Actually, this is one of the reasons why I declined the Ladyship title. Because once I accept it, I may have to do more for the royal family, but I'm already stretched to my limits. I hope you can understand."
