Before Emma could finish her words, a figure like a cannonball jumped out from behind her.
Before Sarlayan could react, the figure lay on the desk, grabbed his neck and rubbed his face.
Stellagosa took a half-step back nervously, and was about to cast a spell to separate the two, when Sarlayan suddenly reached out and stopped her with a strange expression.
He already knew who the person who held him was.
Sarlayan looked at the stinky old man at the door who was gloating about his misfortune, dumbfounded, and persuaded the person hugging him with a bitter face: "Mom, there is someone else around, please give me some face."
It had been a long time since he last separated from his parents, and Sharlayan was also happy that they could return to Quel'Thalas, but the overly enthusiastic way of reuniting made him a little bit intolerable.
Inasi, who hugged Sarlayan and rubbed her hard, noticed that there was someone else next to her and looked over with a sharp and scrutinizing gaze.
"Huh?"
When Inas saw Stellagosa's face clearly, the two of them let out a sound of surprise at the same time.
"Little star?"
"Aunt Inas?!"
"Huo Huo~"
Inas's mind was racing with thoughts, her eyes were darting back and forth between Sharlayan and Stellagosa, and her aunt's smile showed on her face, "It's just as I expected."
"I haven't even had time to introduce you to each other, I didn't expect that~"
"Cough~"
Noticing the blush on the tender-faced Stella Gosa's face, Sarlayan interrupted his mother's teasing with a slight cough.
"About the process of how Stella and I got to know each other...it's a long story."
"Wait a moment."
Inas looked around and suddenly frowned and asked: "Where is that girl Valira? You don't know how to..."
When this topic was mentioned, Julian, who had been standing at the door watching the show, became serious.
Sharlayan waved his hand hurriedly: "No, where did you think you were? Valeera has been handling the intelligence work of the Backlight Blade since she returned to Quel'Thalas."
Looking at a guy who was homeless all year round with a half-smile, Sarlayan twitched the corner of his mouth sarcastically.
"Who makes her mentor disappear all day long? Uncle Villeless has been busy taking care of the pregnant Aunt Alyssa recently. Someone has to fill this vacancy, right?"
"Alyssa is pregnant?!"
Julian and Inas shouted in surprise at the same time.
Julian let out a sigh of relief: "Blessed by the Sunwell, Villes will finally have descendants."
Due to the low birth rate of high elves, the situation of underpopulation like the Deep Shadow family is not an exception. The birth of every noble newborn will attract a lot of attention.
Inas patted her husband's shoulder to comfort her: "We will go to Silvery Moon City to check on Alyssa's condition later... But let's get back to this first."
Inas looked at Sarlayan with a smile and asked: "Son, your title has been promoted very quickly. How long has it been? You have surpassed Villes and been promoted to earl."
Sarlayan smiled and spread his hands: "It's not all my fault. Mother, your influence as a dragon is also one of the important factors."
Inas didn't take it seriously: "The dragon bloodline only provides you with a quick way to climb up. Whether you can seize the opportunity or not ultimately depends on your ability."
"Okay! Let's stop chatting here."
Inas clapped her hands and looked at Sarlayan with an ambiguous smile: "Take care of yourself and call Valeera back early. Let's go to the Deep Shadow Mansion in Silvermoon City first, just in time to see Alyssa.
Condition."
…
Having just returned from a long trip, Inas and Julian did not talk about business immediately. Instead, the whole family went to Silvermoon City to prepare for the family dinner.
When Valeera hurried over from the Sunstrider Court, Inas was holding Alyssa's hand and chatting and laughing.
A few months have passed, and Alyssa's abdomen can already be seen with a more obvious outline, and her figure has become more plump.
When talking about this matter, Alyssa complained quite distressedly, saying that it was Villes's spoon-feeding that made her fat.
Pregnant women do need enough nutrition to make the child in their belly thrive, but they cannot cram them endlessly. Being too fat will put a greater burden on the mother's body.
As someone who has experienced it, Inas severely criticized Villes for his unprofessionalism.
On the issue of having children, Villeless and Julian were in no position to talk back to Inas and could only smile bitterly and raise their hands in surrender.
[Good standard Gallic chicken military salute.]
[Grass, today’s milk method 1/1.]
Valeela was still a little uneasy when she first came back. She was worried that Inas would be biased towards Stellagosa, whom she personally selected for Sharlayan.
But it turned out that she thought too much.
As a dragon, Inasi's concept of the number of spouses is not as rigid as that of mortals.
If Julian had her heart, she wouldn't mind having more sisters.
But Julian is a single-minded lover, and once he has identified Inas, he will not have any unnecessary thoughts.
Even during the years when Inas disappeared, he never thought of finding a stepmother to take care of Sarlayan, and he would go through all kinds of hardships to raise his son by himself.
Although father and son often joke and tease each other, they actually have a very good relationship.
In terms of emotional single-mindedness, Sarlayan admired his father very much, and was very grateful to him for taking care of him when he was young, even delaying the important matter of going out to find his mother.
When Sarlayan was distracted for a moment, Inas smiled wickedly and put her hands around the necks of Valeera and Stellagosa, pulling them to her side and whispering something.
Sarlayan pricked up his ears and wanted to eavesdrop, but Inas seemed to have used some special method to send the words directly to their ears without any sound leaking out.
During the conversation, Inas glanced at Sarlayan's slightly trembling elf ears with a half-smile, obviously seeing through his intentions.
'Uh~'
Although she really wanted to know what her mother said to Valeera and Stellagosa, it seemed that she did not intend to let herself know the specific content.
Sarlayan simply gave up eavesdropping, walked over to Julian and Villes, and talked with them about the latest political news.
Although Villeless let go of some Backlight Blade affairs due to family matters, he did not completely retire.
Every day, Villeless still received a large amount of intelligence from all over the world. He just handed over the actual processing work to Valeera as a way to exercise her government affairs abilities.
When Sharlayan approached, Veleth and Julian were discussing the relationship between Dalaran and Lordaeron.
Antonidas made up his mind to adopt Ronin's proposal and prepared to completely decouple from geopolitics a few months ago.
The Kirin Tor Council began to discuss ways to raise Dalaran into the sky so that this floating city could travel around the world at any time, maintain Dalaran's independence and absolute neutrality, and no longer participate in any political events.
Naturally, Antonidas's decision was not recognized by all members of Congress.
In Dalaran, there were many spies installed by Lordaeron who took the opportunity to set the pace, and the voices of opposition to the march were endless.
To describe it in barrage terms, we are all thousand-year-old foxes, how dare you talk to me about chatting?
Antonidas could figure out where Dalaran's recent opposition came from, which made him very dissatisfied.
Dalaran has followed Lordaeron uncomplainingly and waved the flag for so many years, but now Terenas is actually unwilling to get together and part ways, insisting on doing such dirty things as interfering in other countries' internal affairs.
As the demonstrations in Dalaran grew stronger and stronger, the relationship between Lordaeron and Dalaran also took a turn for the worse.
When Julian and Inas passed by Dalaran, Antonidas, who had always been hesitant, showed a rare force and made the actions of all the captured Lordaeron spies known to the public, and expelled them from the city in public.
.
This disrespectful act undoubtedly announced that Dalaran and Lordaeron were completely at odds.
The angry Terenas immediately announced that he would cut off all resources supplied by Lordaeron to Dalaran, and Antonidas was not to be outdone and expelled all mages with official backgrounds from Lordaeron.
According to Julian, when they arrived in Lordaeron, Terenas was furious and tried to send troops to attack Dalaran, but was eventually persuaded by his ministers to stop.
Nowadays, Lordaeron has too much time to take care of itself.
The rise of the Syndicate, the riots in the orc shelters, the harassment of wandering orcs, and the undercurrent of division within the major provinces.
A series of troubles kept Terenas extremely busy, and Antonidas also saw that Lordaeron was unable to send troops, so he dared to respond so forcefully.
"Has Dalaran's stance changed?"
Sharlayan touched his chin thoughtfully: "Perhaps Quel'Thalas should reconsider its relationship with Dalaran."
