"The ruler of Theramore, I wonder what kind of woman it will be?" Lagash touched his chin and thought curiously.

"Great beauty, ** teacher." Sia spat out two words to him briefly.

Lagash scratched at his hair, and scratched it up again. "Are you jealous?"

"No ......"

"Lagash, be quiet, be a little more restrained on someone else's territory." Broll also said.

Lagash shrugged and stopped talking.

Unlike the average ruler, Gianna is housed in a mage tower for her daily business.

"I really hate the feeling of climbing stairs like that." After making the nth turn along the curved staircase, Ragash couldn't help but whisper a grumble. "I'm curious if she doesn't bother doing this every day? However, mages teleport and slow fall,...... Hey, I'm thinking about others a little too much......"

"Mage Ta Ke is the most important place for a mage, and ordinary people can't get in if they want to. You should be honored to have the privilege of entering her mage tower. Lagash. Broll whispered.

"I just want to finish this staircase as soon as possible...... Lagersh replied, then turned to ask Shia, who was silent behind her. Are you tired? ”

Thea looked up and smiled. "I'm fine."

Unlike Lagersh, she wished the staircase had been going like this.

However, some things don't change because of expectations.

They soon reached the central hall of the Mage's Tower.

"Welcome, Broll. After the farewell of Hyjal, I never saw you again. I'm so happy to see you come back on your feet. ”

A tall and outstanding-looking blonde beauty greeted her, looking only in her twenties, but the magic fluctuations on her body were very powerful.

"Hello, honorable ruler of Theramore."

"Just call me Gianna." Gianna interrupted Brower gently. "We used to be comrades-in-arms who fought side by side, so you don't have to be so polite."

"All right, Ms. Gianna." Brower changed his tune with kindness. "This is my friend Lagash, whose memories seem to be enchanted...... Tampered with. I'd like to ask you to take a look at it. This one is ......"

"Thea!" Thea opened her mouth to cut off Broer's introduction. She smiled apologetically.

Gianna gave Thea a meaningful look. "Broll, I can feel this friend of yours...... There are magical fluctuations, which don't seem to be what she is. ”

Browl and Lagersh looked at each other, they didn't expect Gianna to see through Thea's disguise at a glance.

Thea stepped forward slowly. "Ms. Gianna. I'd like to talk to you alone, okay? ”

Gianna looked at her and smiled, "Okay, then please wait here for us for a while." Whispers between ladies can be a bit long. ”

"Thea!" Ragash's beastly instinct suddenly felt a little flustered. "Can't you say it here?"

Thea smiled apologetically. "I'll be back in a moment. Don't worry about anything. ”

Gianna took Thea's hand, "Then please wait for us for a moment." ”

A flash of light flashed, and she teleported with Thea to the upper level.

"I'll just say I hate mages! It's convenient for them to be on their own. Ragash sat down in his chair in anger, biting his nails in exasperation. For some reason, he was worried, which was not a good sign, but he could not tell where the uneasiness came from.

"Now. Can you take off your disguise? Gianna still smiled softly. By this time, they had teleported to a room on the upper floor of the Mage Tower

"We've met once, and I don't know if you remember me." Thea sighed. "Magic Dispelling."

The white fluorescence gradually dissipated, revealing her original appearance.

"Gianna, do you remember the girl who was with Kalia in Lordaeron?"

Gianna shook Chia's hand in disbelief after a brief moment of astonishment. "Tiffin! How could it be you! And...... Aren't you already dead? How did you end up like this? ”

"I didn't expect you to remember me......" Xia looked at her with some gloom.

"Mages have good memories...... Gianna pulled her to sit down on the couch with her. Kalia. You, I...... How can you forget all those things about Lordaeron......"

Xia looked at Gianna in a trance, but she knew in her heart that the reason why she remembered it deeply was another person. Another name that is already like a nightmare, a name that can't even be mentioned.

At that time, they were carefree girls in Lordaeron. There are some beautiful imaginations about the future life.

Only later...... Everything has changed.

Thea froze and spoke about her purpose this time. "Tiffin is dead. Now call me Osis. I have come here for a very important matter to ask you. About Lagash ......"

"Lagash? I've heard of it - the arena champion of the Scarlet Ring. Well, is that him? Looks really young. ”

In fact, he is...... My husband! Thea spoke with some difficulty. It's like I don't understand why I'm the way I am, and I don't understand why he's the way he is. ”

"What!" Gianna stood up in shock. "Isn't that what he is...... Varian, King of Stormwind! How is this possible!! ”

Xia looked at Gianna's shocked expression and smiled bitterly. "I don't think I can be mistaken. Although I'm not very good at dark magic myself. But I could still feel some traces of black magic in him. I can't think of a better person to study magic than you, so I'd like to ask for your help. ”

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Gianna waved her hand repeatedly. She stroked her forehead. "You know what? The king of Stormwind has indeed been missing for a long time. But......" She looked at Xia with fierce eyes. "Some time ago, he has returned to Stormwind."

"What! That's impossible! "This time it's Xia's turn to be surprised." You don't think I'm even wrong about him, do you? ”

"Of course I believe you." Gianna hurriedly reached out and grabbed her.

"And who's that guy in Stormwind right now!" Shia cried out as she lost her mind.

"Calm down. Shia! ”

"Calm down! How calm do you tell me! That impostor! What about my Anduin! In case ......," Sia covered her face and didn't dare to think further.

"You don't have to worry...... During the time of the king's disappearance, Stormwind was regent by the Grand Duke of Berval, who took good care of Anduin. ”

The name "...... Bovar" seemed to be a tranquilizer that made Xia slowly calm down. Tell me about what you know. What the hell is going on. ”

Gianna shook her hand, "Earlier, Berval persuaded Varian to come to Theramore to talk to me about the Alliance's cooperation. The matter was done in secret. However, when the appointed day came, I did not wait for him. He disappeared. ”

Lagash said he remembered that he had lost his memory on a ship bound for Theramore, and that ...... He's really right! So how did the current king appear? ”

"A month ago, the Council of Nobles of Stormwind received news from the Brotherhood of Defia that the king was in their hands. And then after some haggling," Gianna couldn't hide a hint of disdain at the corners of her mouth. "The Council of Nobles decided to raise a tax and then ransomed the king with that money."

"Brotherhood of Defia?" Thea was a little confused. "I don't think I've heard of this organization."

Gianna was a little embarrassed: "It's from Stormwind City before...... Masons' Union. She didn't look at Thea's instantly ugly face and continued. After you died, they were either killed on the spot, captured and sent to prison, and a large part of them fled to the Wild West under Van Cleef's leadership. There they regrouped and reorganized themselves and changed their name to the 'Brotherhood of Defia'. However, no one expected the king to fall into their hands. ”

"But, Ragash...... How about being here? Gianna, there must be a conspiracy in this. I'm so worried about Anduin, for though Bervar is protecting him, he's a kid after all. Thea almost burst into tears.

"Well, but, let me go and see Lagash first. Things have to be solved in the same way, and there is no hurry. Gianna took Thea's hand. Don't worry too much. ”

Listening to Gianna's consolation, Xia's heart had already flown to the distant Stormwind City.

Her children...... Anduin ...... Bauval, please, please be sure to protect him.

At the head of the long procession to Echo Mountain were none other than King Varian of Stormwind and his son Anduin.

"Anduin, are you happy to go hunting today?"

"Yes, Dad. Of course I'm very happy that you took me out to play. "Anduin has some old age on his face." However, I have heard that we have been very financially strapped lately. Isn't it ......"

A look of astonishment flashed across Stormwind King Varian's face, and he laughed and patted his son on the back, "It seems that Catlana has taught you well during my absence...... You'll be a great King of Ureon in the future. ”

"Lady Katrana didn't teach me these ......," Anduin pouted in dissatisfaction, revealing a hint of childishness. It was Uncle Bower who taught me. ”

"Well, he did a good job during his regency. Son, you have a good regent. Varian smiled as he remembered something. However, you are still a child after all, and there are some things that adults should worry about. I'm sure Berval and Katrana will take care of everything, don't you think? ”

Anduin looked at his father's unconcerned expression and hung his head in frustration. He always felt that something had changed since his father had returned.
