"The spirits in the hotel," he says, feeling like he can speak freely because they're surrounded by people of the White Kingdom. If Wei Ying could sense spirits, he'd tell Lan Wangji if there were any nearby that might be listening to them. "They believe they can be threatened by the Queen.
"He said she thought of us as her people. That she cares for us, and wants us to realize this as an opportunity." Which sounds a whole lot like Stockholm Syndrome to Lan Wangji, but he leaves that part unsaid.
"The White Knights had many stories to tell of their old conquests, but nothing important."
He doesn't even know if the King's actual words are worth repeating. Though he understands Wei Ying's frustration. Lan Wangji should have said something sooner. He walks over and takes Wei Ying's hand. It's alright they came all the way out here. It's not time wasted. Time with Wei Ying could never be considered wasted.
