While Sharlayan was busy subduing the goblins at home and battling wits with the barrages, in the Sun King's chamber in the Sunstrider Court, the contemporary Sun King Kael'thas put on a helpless, wry smile.
"Don't make that face."
Opposite Kael'thas sat an old man in rich attire. He was the previous old king of Anasteria who passed the throne to his son a few years ago.
Compared with the last time he met Sarlayan, Anasteria's face had more wrinkles, and her originally straight back became stooped.
Not only that, the old king's spirit, which was still strong before, also seemed to be declining, and his eyes were so cloudy that Kael'thas couldn't even recognize him.
Obviously, Anasteria's life has entered its final countdown.
But before stepping into the coffin, as a member of the Sunstrider royal family, Anasteria has one last regret that has not yet been completed - the continuation of the Sunstrider family's bloodline.
Anastria is well aware of how busy Kael'thas has been in recent years, and he also knows that Quel'Thalas has indeed reached a critical point when it has to change.
Therefore, in the past few years, Anasteria has never come out of the palace to cause trouble for her son.
As the saying goes, there are no two days in the sky.
Nowadays, Quel'Thalas is moving at full speed with all its strength. The most taboo thing at this time is to open two gates and have nothing in two days.
The reason why Anastria broke the rules and returned to the previous dynasty was not because he wanted to regain power, but because he felt that his end was approaching.
The old king knew very well how difficult it was for the high elves to reproduce. He did not expect to see the birth of his grandchildren with his own eyes. He only hoped to witness Kael'thas marrying the queen before his death, leaving hope for the continuation of the Sunstrider family.
Although Kael'thas was sent to Dalaran when he was very young to escape the political struggle in the country, the distance did not affect the deep relationship between father and son.
Even though he has long since ascended the throne, Kael'thas still has great respect for his elderly father.
If his father's proposal hadn't been too outrageous this time, he wouldn't have been so hesitant.
Kael'thas complained with a bitter face: "Father, I have no objection to marrying a commoner as the queen. This is part of the plan that Sharlayan and I planned in advance, but the person you picked is... somewhat outrageous.
?”
Anasteria waved her hand indifferently: "What's so outrageous? Rather, I can find such a treasure before my death, which can be regarded as the world's greatest blessing to the Sunstrider family... and even all high elves.
Blessed."
"No no no..."
Kael'thas' expression was still very troubled: "You are not the one getting married. Of course you can stand and talk without back pain."
"The problem is... the girl named Anweina you chose is not a human at all!
"
"fart!"
The old king, whose beard and hair were all white, rarely used foul language in front of his son.
"I personally checked it. No matter what Anweina's origin is, she is a living person now! She is an ordinary high elf civilian!"
Kael'thas' emotions were a little out of control, and he frantically scratched his long blond hair that was usually neatly and smoothly managed with both hands.
“But she is the incarnation of the Sunwell!
"
…
"puff!
"
Early the next morning, Valeera followed Sarlayan's instructions early and delivered the last mobile phone she left behind to the hands of Kael'thas, who had not slept all night and had bloodshot eyes.
After learning the whole story from Kael'thas, who had a very sarcastic tone, Sharlayan, who had just finished breakfast and was leisurely sipping coffee in the lord's office, couldn't help but spray Stellagosa in the face.
Stellagosa: "???"
After using the cleaning spell to remove the coffee on her face and body, Stellagosa asked in confusion: "What happened? Why are you so rude?"
“Cough cough cough!
"
Sarlayan was coughing repeatedly due to the coffee he choked into his trachea, but at the same time he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
At the same time, Shadiao netizens who learned the news also temporarily gave up asking about the follow-up to the black screen last night, and the screen was flooded with "Hahahaha" barrages of gloating about the misfortune.
Sarlayan, who was already extremely happy, was further stimulated by the barrage's saucy operations, coughing and letting out intermittent laughter.
"dare you laugh!
"
Kael'thas, who was still communicating on the other end, almost went mad: "I asked you to help me find a solution, not to laugh at me!"
"Ahem! Okay, okay, poof, I stopped laughing."
Finally managing to stop laughing, Sharlayan first showed an apologetic expression to Stellagosa and sent the relevant news to her family members, including her, through the soul link.
"Boxes, boxes, boxes!
"
In Sarlayan's dormitory, Onyxia, who had just gotten up and was about to put black stockings on her smooth legs, let out a devilish laugh and happily fell back into the bed that still smelled of something.
Because of her short height, Tinagosa, who transformed into a dwarf next to Little Xingxing, luckily escaped Sarlayan's coffee face. At this time, the little guy was laughing so hard that he sat on the ground and rubbed his belly.
Valeera, who had rushed to the Sunstrider Court to deliver her cell phone, was waiting outside Kael'thas' study door, chatting about family and family issues with Vellath Deep Shadow, who was responsible for secretly guarding the Sun King.
One second, the two of them were chatting enthusiastically about the little boy who was growing up in the Welles family. The next second, Valeela's expression suddenly became weird.
"Hold it!"
Valeera pinched her tight thighs with her hands, barely keeping from losing her composure in front of Welles.
Although he has been left behind by the rising star Valeera in terms of personal strength, he is still an experienced intelligence chief. Verless noticed Valeera's little moves at a glance.
"...What's wrong? Did that boy Sarlayan say something?"
"Well... that's right."
Before getting the permission of Kael'thas himself, Valeela could not tell the interesting things about this kind of thing within the Sunstrider royal family. She could only hold back her smile with difficulty and use a trembling voice to deal with Veleis's words.
Ask questions.
Welles is an old Jianghu who has been stationed in the palace all year round. Although he doesn't know what is going on, he can tell from Valeera's tone that this is not something he can interfere with.
"Okay, I won't keep you here anymore. Go back and tell Sarlayan for me that you can come to Silvermoon City to see his little cousin when you have time."
"I will, uncle, please allow me to take my leave first."
Under Welles' thoughtful gaze, Valeera, who was trembling all over, walked out of the Sunstrider Court quickly, and couldn't wait to activate her phase travel ability to hide in the shadow space, where she laughed to her heart's content.
Anveena Dennis, Salyan, who has already been informed by the barrage, certainly knows what this name represents.
The girl named Anweina is the incarnation of the Sunwell. From a certain perspective, she is the personification of the Sunwell's will.
Kael'thas had long been baptized by various strange documents in human society, and Sarlayan could even guess what strange thoughts were running through his mind at this time.
Putting aside these messy thoughts, in terms of a perfect match, as the physical incarnation of the Sunwell, Anveena is indeed a very suitable partner for Kael'thas.
The Sunwell is a treasure that the Quel'dorei have guarded for more than 7,000 years. The combination with Anveena will undoubtedly further strengthen the Sunstrider royal family's control over the Sunwell.
Of course, this extremely secret information is destined to be known only to a very small number of Quel'Thalas senior officials.
In the eyes of ordinary people and those nobles and officials who have no right to know the inside story, Anveena Denis is just an ordinary high elf commoner woman, a person specially selected by the Sun King to achieve political goals.
Who are Anweina's parents? It's not important. What's important is that she does come from a civilian family.
After mocking Kael'thas mercilessly, Sharlayan calmed down and began to help him analyze the pros and cons.
"Since the old king has openly included Anweina in the list of 'civilian queens', it means that he has dealt with all the identity issues related to it."
"Put aside the emotional issues, Kael'thas, do you really think that marrying the Sunwell Avatar is a bad thing? Or is Anveena Dennis' appearance so crooked that you can't accept it?"
"Well that's not the case."
Kael'thas rubbed his brows and said: "I have seen the photos my father took with a photo camera. Her appearance and figure are all in line with my preferences, but... she is still a sunwell after all! I haven't got that heavy taste yet.
