"Playmates" are a small tradition of the human aristocracy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Generally speaking, nobles will choose one or more children of the same age from the children of vassals or distant relatives to raise with their heirs, and the chosen child is the so-called playmate.

The friendship of years of living together often makes playmates the closest companions, the most tacit teammates, and the most loyal courtiers of the heir. For distant relatives or vassals, this is also the best way out for young sons who have no inheritance rights. Therefore, the playmate system can be said to be a win-win deal, and has created countless good stories in the history of mankind.

However, this little tradition, in the current alliance, is probably just a tradition.

The main reason is that this system is prone to all kinds of problems, of course, what the specific problems are not worth dealing with outsiders, in short, it is a very humiliating thing. So a long, long time ago, there were no playmates.

Now, Dad has brought up this system again, although he can probably understand that he is too precocious and wants to put on a halter, but he is not afraid of the nobles of the kingdom to break their minds?

After all, the prince or the chrysanthemum king or something, the Minahill family has a criminal record.

"Don't worry," Tyrenus said in response to Arthas's question, "you have to trust my vision, absolutely, this kind of thing will not happen." ”

For this blind confidence of his father, Arthas doesn't know what to say. But now that the wood is done, he doesn't care. With this in mind, Arthas started his own course, but the playmate he said did not come as soon as his father said, and over time, Arthas himself almost forgot about it, except for the occasional doubt, and did not have any expectations at all.

A few months later, far south in Varian, the good news came that Khadgar had succeeded in dispelling the smoke of Gul'dan, and that the Alliance's forces had broken the last of the Horde's military presence in Azeroth, sealing the Dark Gate. The war, which lasted for nearly nine years, has finally ended.

After the Dark Gate was closed, the rebuilding of the kingdom of Azeroth was also back on track, and in the presence of Grand Duke Anduin Lothar, Varian ascended the throne as the new master of Stormwind. The Duke of Lothar decided to stay at the Watchfort and lead the Alliance's most elite troops to hold on, and in the mouths of the rest of the Alliance, these warriors who decided to guard the frontier were called the "Sons of Lothar" and the main force of the "Future" Alliance Expeditionary Force.

As for Arthas himself, after several months of training, he finally became a knightly squire of the Silver Hand with the approval of Uther. Although no one would ask him to maintain his armor and wash his horses as a prince, he had the advantage of being a squire in addition to these responsibilities, and that was to get a war horse of his own.

Steed......

The word was not just a noun for the nobles of the Alliance. The kingdoms of the alliance are all countries established by force, and any nobleman, if he is not a warrior who is proficient in martial arts and can go to the battlefield, will definitely be ridiculed and rejected. In this special social environment, the war horse exists as a knight's best comrade-in-arms and the most important companion, which obviously has a significance far beyond ordinary livestock.

For example, the invincible war horse that once haunted Alsace so much that he was suspected of becoming a zoophile.

It is very difficult to breed a war horse, from the selection of horse breeds, breeding, breeding to training, the investment of a war horse is much greater than the investment of a dismounted knight, it can be said that the cost of the hundreds of knights in the kingdom of Lordaeron is more than the sum of the remaining military forces of Lordaeron. This is why, even as a prince of Arthas, he could not move cavalry freely.

As the prince of Lordaeron and the future king, it was only natural that Arthas could not lack training in horsemanship. Of course, given that Alsace is only 13 years old, the current training is mainly focused on how to ride a horse. So, he also saw his good partner again, the invincible war horse.

Arthas, who had already been reincarnated twice, no longer regarded his encounter with Invincible as a matter of fate - in fact, as a prince, he was able to witness the birth of Invincible and have been mixed with a horse, which in itself was arranged by Terenus. Invincible is a carefully selected breed of war horse, and this kind of action will make the war horse have an unusual attachment to Alsace, in this way, a tamed and obedient at all times, and strong enough Alsace special war horse, is freshly baked.

After all, he is the heir to the throne, and having such an obedient horse is also a guarantee on the battlefield, isn't it?

However, it is a pity that the bear child Arthas threw Invincible to death.

Rolling his eyes at his past self, Arthas put his foot on his feet and let the seated horse take him back to the Silver Hand's residence, after all, it was time for Master Antonidas' class to begin.

Just like when he was in Dalaran, Antonidas still adheres to the principle that he can't teach good students without cramming, and this archmage who is a great mage but definitely not a great teacher has often been inexplicably excited lately, thinking that Arthas has improved beyond his imagination, so the old man thinks that his method is particularly good.

It's a pity that Arthas himself knows his own business, a research-oriented talent, and that's not something he can do on his own. The so-called progress now does not rely on the knowledge brought by time, that is to say, it is just picking up people's teeth. The more Antonidas looks forward to it now, the more guilty Alsace feels, and this feeling of cheating makes Arthas a little afraid to face Antonidas, so he hasn't been very active in class recently.

Arriving at Dalaran through the portal of the Silver Hand Station, first devouring the unfortunate portal's tumbling experience, Arthas made his way to the top floor of Violet Castle, outside the chamber of Master Antonidas.

"Yo, Arthas?"

Just as Arthas took a deep breath and prepared for today's lesson, a young man's voice suddenly came from the side. Turning his head, he saw a red-haired young man who was older than himself, waving to him.

"Ronin?" Alsace wondered, "How did you get here?" ”

"Why are you talking so badly, I'm also a mage of Dalaran," Luo Ning rolled his eyes, "although I'm an ostracized." Well, let's not talk about that, are you going to accept the master's cramming teaching? ”

As a curious and enthusiastic young mage, Luo Ning was destined not to be liked by the old people of Dalaran. On the contrary, Arthas's strange train of thought that has no trajectory to follow can fascinate him deeply, so Ronin, who occasionally communicated during the time that Alsace was in Dalaran, has somehow become this kind of friend who can talk at will.

Of course, Arthas's conclusion is that the other party obviously has a solidified affinity aura, and as for him Alsace, although he is very envious, he really can't learn this kind of self-learned ability.

"Of course...... Didn't you already know that? Looking at Ronin, who was smiling very strangely for some reason, Arthas intuitively sensed a taste of conspiracy, "Or, do you have any news to tell me?" ”

"No, no, no, no," Ronin waved his hand repeatedly, but the smile on his face became more and more strange, "That, Arthas, do you remember what you said about your playmate?" ”

"Ah, it seems like such a thing," Arthas thought back for a moment, "what? ”

"Hmm...... Anyway, your playmate has arrived," Ronin organized his words, and then said, "But that playmate who saw you should be called a companion in Dalaran, right?" In short, after seeing that person, I deeply felt that His Royal Highness Terenus was really too wise, and such an arrangement could really eliminate all your worries in Arthas. He is worthy of being the leader of the alliance, and he is powerful. ”

Looking at Ronin, who had entered the worship mode by himself, Arthas was embarrassed for a moment, and then his mind became active. Although he had almost forgotten about it, Arthas didn't like the name Minecil of the Chrysanthemum. Since this Luo Ning in front of him also said so, then it is obvious that he will not be a gentleman.

…… That's not going to be a girl, is it? The children of the royal family have illegitimate children before marriage, which is a more troublesome thing, okay! So a proud aristocrat who is so annoying that it doesn't arouse suspicion? No, no, this thing itself is played bad by the nobles, or is it a super muscular brother? Wait, that's where all philosophy ♂ comes from, right? What does it take to make this Luo Ning come to such a conclusion?

Looking at Luo Ning's heartless evil smile, Arthas deeply felt that it was definitely a senseless act to add joy to life to the other party, so he gave Luo Ning a blank look, and walked directly into Antonidas's study, using his own eyes to witness what kind of role that companion was.

"Huh? It's Alsace, it's a rare lateness today. ”

Completely ignoring Antonidas' thorny greeting, Arthas blinked his eyes and was about to find the legendary companion. Fortunately, this house is not big, and at the same time as he said hello, he also found a petite figure by the table by the window.

Unlike what Arthas imagined when he pretended to be stupid and walked into the house, the legendary newcomer was not a proud nobleman, and the second was not a hot-blooded muscular brother, but only a man sitting quietly in his seat, silently reading the book in his hand...... Literary girl.

The girl, or rather the girl, seems to be far from reaching the age that can be called the flower season, and does not seem to have awakened to the pursuit of beauty, the girl does not let her silky hair grow too long, and at the same time the dress is very simple, just a combination of a short trench coat and a white shirt that is more common in Dalaran. Compared to the 12-year-old Alsace, the girl was as petite as a doll, and her childish face almost made Arthas mistakenly believe that she had entered the lower class of Sunday school.

Seeing everything in front of him, Arthas already understood what Luo Ning meant, in order to avoid various rumors such as chrysanthemum-related or illegitimate children, his father Terenus really brought a child who was a little reluctant to be defined as Lori to be his "playmate".

"Dad, you are really a gentleman among gentlemen, I am convinced."

…… Alsace said that at this time, he did not have to think about what expression to use to face all these problems.

Because he has already called the police.
