Jaina Proudmoore, 15 years old this year, wore a blue robe and a mage hat, passed through the portal, and appeared in the hall of Stromgarde. The first thing she saw was the man who had been there for several years.
The tall figure disappeared, wearing a blue, Kul Tiran-style naval robe, a captain's hat, and a warrior with a musket and command knife at his waist.
"Father! Father!"
Jaina walked quickly to the figure, opened her hands, and threw herself into Dai Lin's arms. She hugged her father's body tightly, and tears were already shining in the corners of her eyes.
"I miss you so much, Dad."
"I miss you too, my baby."
Dai Lin held his daughter in his arms. He stroked her golden and silky hair and said softly:
"Your mother misses you too. I have told Master Antonidas that after the celebration, you can return to Kul Tiras with me, my daughter."
"But I still have a few experiments to finish."
Jaina wiped her tears and acted coquettishly to her father like a little girl:
"Maybe you can stay with me in Dalaran, just for a few days."
"Hahaha, okay, okay."
Dai Lin laughed and held her daughter's hand, and the father and daughter walked towards the hall of the castle:
"I can never refuse you, my Jaina. Speaking of which, I have never been to Dalaran a few times. You know, I don't like those nerdy mages very much, but my baby daughter is different. I listen.
Say, you just completed the high-level mage trial last month? It really makes me feel proud."
"Of course!"
Jaina proudly puffed up her chest and said to her father:
"I am the daughter of the sea, and I am the genius of Kul Tiras."
The father and daughter were talking and, escorted by the Grand Knight of Kul Tiras, they walked into the hall of Stromgarde. This ancient castle began to be repaired a month ago, and it looked like a castle that had been wiped.
The unusually bright coins are welcoming the grand ceremony coming today.
The hall and the lawn in front were already overcrowded. Nobles from various kingdoms in the alliance gathered together, making it very lively. On the second floor of the hall, the kings were also chatting, watching Dai Lin bring his
The daughter walked in, and the young king Varian and his queen, holding a wine glass, came up and talked to Dailin.
"Oh, is this little Anduin?"
Today, Dai Lin does not see the iron blood of a warrior. Like a real elder, he reached out and took the little prince from Queen Tiffany's arms. In the blue swaddling clothes, the next generation of the Wrynn family was born.
She was sleeping soundly, and the cute baby was still blowing bubbles from the corner of her mouth, which made Gianna standing aside widen her eyes. It could be seen from the shining light in her eyes that she also liked this cute child very much.
"He will definitely become a great king and a qualified ruler in the future."
Dailin hugged Anduin and said to Varian:
"Just like you, little Varian."
"Stop complimenting me so much, Uncle Dai Lin, I still have a lot to learn from you."
Varian has been the king for several years. Although he is only in his 20s now, he already has the majesty of a king. He smiled and said to Dailin: "I have been discussing with the ministers recently about establishing a navy for the Kingdom of Stormwind.
, in this aspect, Kul Tiras is definitely the best teacher in Stormwind City."
"Of course, a country must have a strong navy and protect its maritime borders. You have set your sights very far, Varian, that's good."
Dailin handed the Anduin in his hand back to Queen Tiffany, and the gentle queen led the inquiring Jaina to the seats of the ladies, leaving the men to discuss war and state affairs.
"You can send some young people to Kul Tiras to study, and I will place them in the Third Fleet."
Dai Lin reached out and took a glass of wine from the plate held by the attendants, and said to Varian: "The Third Fleet, commanded by Drake, is about to embark on an expedition against the pirates who plundered the island and the South China Sea. They can definitely learn from it.
To a lot.”
"Oh, that's great. Thank you for your generosity, Uncle Dailin."
Varian expressed his gratitude, but Dai Lin shook his head and patted his shoulder:
"In formal occasions, you have to call me Daelin... You are also a king, Varian. You represent the Kingdom of Stormwind. In the Arathor Empire that is about to be rebuilt, you and I have equal positions."
"Dai Lin, you old fox, why are you so punctual today!"
Another voice sounded behind the two kings. Dai Lin turned around and saw Jean Greymane in full dress walking into the hall under the escort of his attendants. A trace of disgust flashed in Dai Lin's eyes, but soon
, the two kings of the same age hugged each other passionately and patted each other on the shoulders, just like best friends.
"Speaking of which, Genn, I heard that a plague broke out in Gilneas recently. Do you need me to mobilize some doctors from Kul Tiras to help?"
After the kings sat down, Dai Lin whispered to Jean: "If you need help, don't hide it, I will definitely help you."
"Stormwind City will do its best to help, Genn... Your Majesty."
Varian also expressed his thoughts, but King Jean looked at him strangely. After a moment, Jean shrugged:
"Call me Genn, Varian...you are the king now, you don't have to be so polite."
"Well, Gene, if your people need help, it's our duty to help."
The little king was a little embarrassed, but he quickly adapted. King Greymane said that everything was under control. He also said that in order to protect the people in the country, he planned to build a wall to separate the severely plagued area from the country.
This idea was scorned by King Terenas.
"Your methods are foolish, Gene."
The old king seems to have come out of his depression some time ago. Now he is in high spirits and discussing Jean's actions with other kings:
"You need to find the source of the plague outbreak. Blind isolation will only make your people live in fear, and Silverpine Forest is close to the border of the Tirisfal region. To be honest, if you think you can't handle this matter by yourself,
Lordaeron will also intervene, as long as you ask, we will definitely help."
"Dalaran is also paying attention to this weird lycanthropy, Genn."
There was a hint of worry on Master Antonidas's face, and he said softly: "But the Book of Ur, which records the disease, was stolen not long ago, and Master Ur was also assassinated. It is difficult to say whether this incident is related to the
The plague in Gilneas has nothing to do with it, but I think it may be more than just a plague."
"I thank you for your kindness, everyone."
A trace of heaviness flashed across King Jean's face, and he said:
"There is no way to build the Greymane Wall. Whether it is finding the source or developing an antidote, it will take time. But if I can't block the infection channel in time, I'm afraid I will lose one-third of my body in a few months."
The territory of one... Wait, everyone, the best doctors in Gilneas have gathered together to study this disease. If things really get that bad, I will ask for your help."
On the other side, the young mage Jaina couldn't bear the very explicit topics of the noble ladies. She left the hall in the name of sightseeing and walked to the outskirts of the castle. This is where the little nobles gather, and the circle of big shots.
I can't get in yet, but these little nobles also have their own circles, and they are very lively.
Jaina was wandering alone outside the crowd. The innocent girl also had her own troubles, and when Jaina crossed a garden, she unexpectedly saw the princes gathered here. She saw her own
Her brother Drake, as well as Prince Liam of Gilneas, Prince Garin of the Kingdom of Stromgard, Prince Kael'thas of Quel'Thalas, and the Prince of Lordaeron whom she least wants to see right now.
Alsace.
They seemed to be discussing some weird things, and the discussion was very lively. Jaina originally planned to go and say hello to her brother, but seeing Arthas, who had blond hair like her, there, she suddenly felt a wave of anger in her heart.
Feeling awkward, the little princess stamped her feet and turned to leave. Arthas also looked back happily and saw Jaina leaving.
Before he could say goodbye to his friends, he hurriedly chased after Jaina.
"Anna! Anna! Wait for me!"
Behind him, the princes laughed together, and Liam leaned closer to Drake and whispered:
"It seems that your sister has captured Arthas's heart. Tell me, Drake, will it be stressful to have the King of Lordaeron as your brother-in-law in the future?"
Prince Drake, who had become a true warrior, shrugged his shoulders, took a sip of his wine, and said softly:
"There is no pressure. My sister is very arrogant. Little Alsace may not be able to catch her. My sister admires warriors like my father. Well, Alsace... is always a little too reckless."
"Don't follow me!"
The girl Jaina walked out of the main hall of Stromgarde and walked angrily on the outer streets. Arthas, who was wearing a prince's dress, followed behind her. The handsome young man took a step forward and grabbed Jaina's hand. He touched it a little.
He asked nonchalantly:
"What's going on? Jaina? I remember I didn't mess with you?"
"I hate you, Arthas, don't touch me!"
Jaina screamed and threw away Arthas' hand. She turned her head to one side like an angry swan, not looking at Arthas. The prince was also confused and could only apologize.
"Okay, okay, be good, don't be angry. No matter what I did wrong, I apologize, okay? Don't be angry."
Jaina did not speak, but tears of grievance continued to flow from her eyes. This made Arthas completely panicked. He stood beside Jaina at a loss, unable to think of what to say, and at this moment, a sound
A gentle, smiling voice sounded behind the boy and girl.
"Oh, look, the beautiful and sour love of young people, it is really the most beautiful time."
Arthas turned around warily and saw an elf couple looking at him and Jaina with smiles. The man was wearing a black dress and a white shirt. The workmanship was extremely exquisite, and hanging on his waist was a
A decorative sword. What impressed people were his ice-blue eyes and his neatly combed long gray-white hair. Behind him, there was a human male who was also wearing a dress and was very silent.
The lady holding hands with him was wearing a long red dress, decorated with exquisite jewelry that had never been seen in Alsace, and had a lady's hairstyle. She must be a beautiful lady, but her eyes
Wearing a pair of black glasses, no one can see her eyes.
That outstanding and unique demeanor immediately attracted the young man's attention. Looking at Alsace's eyes, the already angry Jaina even rubbed her foot on Alsace's instep angrily.
The prince woke up with a start.
"ah."
Arthas almost jumped up from the ground. He hurriedly adjusted his clothes and said hello to the two high elves who looked like nobles at first sight:
"Are you also here to participate in the ceremony?"
The male elf nodded, with a smile on his lips:
"Of course, Your Highness, Mr. Lothar and I are very good friends. We must not miss such a grand event. Speaking of which, my wife and I are not familiar with Stromgarde. Can we invite you and this beautiful little princess?
Lead the way for us?"
"Oh, of course!"
Arthas was still a reserve knight who was being trained as a paladin at this time. He would not refuse such a request. However, behind him, Jaina stared at the unusual elf couple in front of her with suspicion. She looked at it with a trace of scrutiny.
asked:
"The high elves' envoy should have come with King Anastarian. How could you two get lost?"
Faced with this problem, the beautiful and elegant lady said calmly:
"Sweet little girl, if you know enough about the history of Quel'Thalas, you should know that Windrunner doesn't like to get together with other people, especially those hypocritical Silvermoon Councilors."
"Are you a member of the Windrunner family?"
Jaina's eyes widened, and she glared at the dumbfounded Arthas, with a hint of girlish longing flashing in her eyes:
"Awesome! I really like the story about Windrunner, especially about Lady Alleria... She is willing to cross two worlds and life and death for love. I don't know what will happen to that respectable lady now.
That’s it.”
Hearing Jaina's words, Tyrion and Alleria looked at each other. Alleria shook her head, reached out and brushed Jaina's silky hair, and she said softly:
"She is very good, better than ever. Cute little girl, please lead the way."
