"Where am I? It's so dark...... I can't see anything clearly. ”

Thea felt her consciousness rise and fall back and forth in the boundless darkness, and a ray of holy light in the distance in the darkness was faintly translucent, and she struggled to reach out to the light, only to find that the boundless darkness gradually engulfed the only ray of light.

"Back to the Darkness...... Return to nothingness...... That's your fate, kid! A voice echoed in her ears, and she covered her ears vigorously.

However, the voice sounded directly in her heart, pervasively.

"You can't escape, from the moment you accept my power, you belong to me again."

"You can't escape...... I can't escape the ......"

"No...... No! Thea screamed and struggled to sit up.

A warm hand gripped her hand tightly, and at the same time, the other hand moved behind her back and gently circled her.

A gentle and familiar voice came: "What's wrong with you?" ”

The voice was like a calming elixir, calming Thea's uneasiness.

She looked up at the familiar face.

"Are you alright?" She reached out her unheld hand and gently stroked the scar on the man's face, and asked tentatively, "Are you Varian, or Ragash?" ”

"I'm Varian, and I'm Lagash...... I am back. Tiffin, I'm your husband - Varian. Ureon. Varian looked at her tenderly. How do you feel? Is it better? ”

After calming down, Xia felt a pain in her head.

"I feel better." Xia smiled: "...... What about Anduin? Where are we now? ”

"Anduin is fine, he doesn't have anything to do. We are now in Theramore, Gianna's territory. Varian patiently answered them one by one. Everyone's injuries are almost healed, only you...... Unconscious for a day and a night. ”

Varian hugged her tightly. "I'm worried about your ......"

"I'm sorry." Thea apologized in his arms.

"Don't say I'm sorry......" Varian let go of her and cupped her face, "Anduin wants me to listen to Gianna and have a meeting with the tribe, what do you think of this suggestion?" ”

Thea blinked, trying to avoid Varian's gaze, only to find her face clutched tightly by him. I couldn't avoid his gaze at all. She lowered her eyes: "This kind of thing, as far as my current position is concerned, it seems that I can't give His Majesty any advice." ”

Varian let out a funny chuckle and smacked her lips with his head.

"I think. Sometimes Anduin is a lot more sensible than I am, and maybe I should try to listen to him. You have bore me a great heir. He said vaguely.

I don't know if it was his sneak attack, or if he heard this, in short, Xia's face turned red......

"That'...... When will the talks start? ”

"I don't know, so I'll wait here for now." Varian frowned, but quickly relaxed, he didn't want her to worry. "Yesterday, Gianna had already personally informed Sal, thinking that if Sal was really as rumored, he should arrange his itinerary soon. Maybe it's tomorrow. ”

"Oh......" thought of his now embarrassing identity. Thea was a little sullen.

Seeing that Thea's interest was not high, Varian proposed, "How about we go to Theramore together, although I don't think the scenery of Theramore is as good as Stormwind, but it's rare to have nothing to do." How about our family of three also relax? ”

Thea suddenly remembered something very important. Anduin...... Does he know who I am? ”

"I think we'll tell him when we get back to Stormwind, there's a lot of people here. I don't want anything to go wrong. ”

Thea nodded. "So where is he now? I want to see him. ”

Anduin is now studying with Gianna.

"Lady Gianna, Chief Sal, when will they arrive?"

"Tomorrow." Gianna looked up from behind her tall case file and smiled. "Anduin, can you give me the book of law that you have handy?"

"Okay. Ms. Gianna. Anduin handed her the book Gianna had asked for, and after a moment's hesitation, he spoke again: "...... Actually, what I want to say is, how much do you know about that Miss Shia, Ms. Gianna? ”

Gianna was slightly stunned. Then he looked at Anduin with a smile.

Anduin was a little embarrassed by her, so he picked up a book in his hand and opened it.

"Anduin ......"

"I ...... I ......" Anduin almost buried his head in the book.

"I mean......" Gianna flashed up to him, gently snatching the book he had used to hide his embarrassment. Your book is upside down! ”

Anduin's embarrassment almost reached its peak.

Gianna also felt that teasing herself as a child seemed a little bit of a bad taste. She touched Anduin's head. "Are you worried that your father is going to find you a new queen mother again? I mean...... Uh, if Katrana counts. ”

"No...... It's not the same as Katrana. Anduin said with some embarrassment, "I can see it." Dad was very fond of Miss Thea. ”

Seeing Gianna looking at herself with an interesting side, Anduin became even more shy, and his voice was like a mosquito. "I actually...... It's not that I hate Miss Thea, she saved me...... Just ......"

Gianna looked at Anduin, who was entangled, and after thinking about it, she still thought it would be better for Varian to tell him personally.

"I thought, why don't you just ask your father?"

"Hmm......" Anduin bowed his head, "Dad, he's always been on Miss Thea's side, and I don't want to bother them." ”

Gianna chuckled, "Excuse me? No, Anduin, I think She's probably more than welcome for you to disturb her. ”

Before she could finish speaking, she heard Thea's voice. "Anduin!"

Anduin instinctively stood up, and for a moment he seemed to be the precocious little prince again. "Hello, Miss Thea. …… Father. ”

Varian behind Sia coughed: "Anduin, it's rare for us to come to Theramore, before the talks begin, how about visiting the scenery under Lady Gianna?" ”

Anduin looked at his father, then at Gianna, and finally at Thea.

Looking at Xia's expectant and apprehensive eyes, Anduin didn't know why he felt defeated.

"Okay......" He walked towards Varian with his head a little dejected.

"Hmm...... Anduin," Anduin felt that Thea's voice was really very gentle, "May I hold your hand?" ”

Anduin looked at the woman's hand stretched out in front of him, he pouted, remembering the situation in the Black Dragon's Lair**, the owner of this hand pulled him all the way away.

He stretched out his hand and felt a little strange when he saw the happiness on Xia's face that could not be concealed.

Shouldn't a normal woman find a way to lead his father? Although Anduin was young, he had seen several times when the noble ladies of Stormwind had gone to great lengths to stick to his father.

Anduin smiled unconsciously with satisfaction.

All right...... All right...... Maybe he didn't hate his father remarrying.

Gianna watched the family of three leave, a little envious and a little distressed. But she turned her mind to this important meeting.

Let's hope Sal won't let her down.

Varian walked the streets of Theramore with Shia and Anduin in civilian clothes.

Although Theramore does not have the prosperity of Stormwind as the capital of a country, it is the only gathering place for humans on the continent of Kalimdor. Moreover, as a port city dominated by maritime trade, commerce is extremely prosperous, and people come and go in an endless stream.

Anduin, who rarely even came out of the royal palace, was immediately attracted by the various vendors on both sides of the road.

"Anduin, will you try this?" Sia took him by the hand and smiled as she bought him ice cream that children love very much.

Anduin was a little embarrassed, and he always wished he hadn't acted so childish. But, after all, he was just a child. He stole a glance at his father, and when he saw that he was not dissatisfied, he thanked him and took the ice cream. "Thank you."

"You seem to be very good at coaxing children." Varian whispered in Shia's ear.

Thea tucked her sideburns away. "Spent a few days at the orphanage in Orgrimmar, and the kids there loved the snacks."

Hearing Orgrimmar, Varian's face turned a little bad. But he didn't want the orcs to disturb his good mood at the moment.

"Sir, buy a bouquet of flowers!" A little girl selling flowers timidly stopped Varian. "Buy a bouquet of flowers for your pretty wife."

The little girl's words made Varian's eyes light up, and he happily threw a gold coin to the little girl and picked up a bouquet of white lilies from the flower basket.

"Sir...... I can't find it. The little girl said timidly.

"No need to look for it," Varian said with a good mood, waving his hand and handing the flowers to Xia. "Here you go, ma'am!"

He smiled heartily.

Shia looked at Anduin with a blush.

Anduin, who was eating ice cream, glanced at her and turned his head a little shyly. He's not a cannibal...... Anduin said secretly in his heart.

Seeing that Anduin did not object, Xia happily took the flower.

"Hmm...... Wait a minute," Varian pulled a sprig from the lily, tucked off the twig and stuck it in Thea's sideburns. "But whether it's brunette or blonde, it suits you the same." He sniffed on the lily on Shia's sideburns and whispered.

Thea gave him a disgusted look and pulled Anduin by the way. "How about we go over there and see? There seems to be a bard over there, and it seems to be very lively. ”

"Where?" Anduin gradually relaxed, and the child's nature slowly revived from the depressed heart. He took Thea's hand and walked briskly forward.

Yes...... It looks like I've been abandoned! Varian scratched his head in annoyance. Looking at his wife and children who were smiling happily in front of him, his heart was full of peace and satisfaction.

When the talks are over, they will go back to Stormwind City, and their family of three will always be happy like this, it must be like this......

Varian followed in their footsteps, his heart full of longing.
