Chapter 699: Rainy Season

The rainy season arrives, and Iva spends several days in drizzle. Today, it is rare for the sky to be clear, and the sky is rarely exposed with a light blue clean sky.

Thanks to the well-developed underground drainage ditches, the streets of Iva do not appear to be cross-draining. However, due to the uneven pavement of the rocks in the early days, there were many small potholes of varying depths between each crevice, and employees of the Iva Civil Affairs Department were filling in the small potholes in the streets due to the erosion of the rain.

A horse-drawn carriage with strange animals printed on it was driving through the wide streets of Iva, and although the large wooden wheels of the carriage were equipped with shock-absorbing machinery, the carriage would jump up from time to time due to the fact that there were many small potholes in the ground. At this time, the strong coachman in charge of driving the carriage would always be unable to resist scolding the officials of the civil affairs department for their inaction, and threatened to go to the noble council to sue them!

Listening to the whining of the coachman outside, Princess Kalia didn't react much. She leaned on the small window of the carriage with her right hand, and looked at the pedestrians outside.

In a few days Locke will be returning from the Hillsbrad Hills, where he is heard to have won a series of victories. Once again, the southern border of the Kingdom of Lordaeron has been stabilized, and the problems in the Alterac Mountains seem to have improved somewhat.

The news had spread within Lordaeron, and the streets of Iva were filled with excited citizens talking about the far-reaching implications of the event. Discuss that Lordaeron has risen from the mire of the past and is getting back on track.

This is definitely a good thing, now that Lordaeron has unified most of the territory, only the east has not been united under a single banner, but Kalia is not happy.

It's been a few months, and since she met Locke that day at the Cathedral of the Holy Light in the monastery, Kalia hasn't seen Locke. As time passed, she became more and more worried that Locke would renege on a promise he had made with her.

The citizens of the streets of Eva barely talked about the Minethil family, and her family really seemed to have disappeared from the hearts of Lordaeron.

This is still the scariest thing that makes her feel the most! The scary thing is that she has heard a lot of news. Locke's subordinates kept telling him to solve the problem of the heir as soon as possible, but Locke never looked for her!

He took the opportunity to quell the rebellion of the southern nobles, and stayed with Bridget, the daughter of General Abydis, all the time! What this means, Kalia is well aware!

In the case of nobles who do not have their own blood, illegitimate children sometimes have the right to inherit everything from their father! But in Locke's position, if Locke has an accident, his subordinates will definitely find out Locke's illegitimate son and let him inherit his things for the benefit they can get!

How could Kalia not be in a hurry? Although she has the reputation of righteousness, if Locke has an accident. Then Lordaeron really doesn't have anything to do with her!

The carriage came to a steady stop, and the sound of the guards beside the coachman rang out at the right time.

"We're at the cathedral, miss."

"Oh, good. Thank you, Sir Mario. ”

The side door of the carriage opened, and Phil Laree greeted her outside, and Kalia smiled at the elven squire, then stepped out of the carriage with her skirt in hand.

Outside the carriage, Ser Mario the Scarface, dressed in polished bright silver-blue armor, stood behind her as the carriage was driven by the coachman to a corner of Cathedral Square.

At the foot of the twenty-second staircase leading to the cathedral, Shiloh, dressed in a bright red bishop's robe, was looking at her with a smile. Kalia smiled unconsciously and greeted her, knowing that this was one of the most important people under Locke. She also knew that the secret of her appearance was not a secret to the people around Locke. Everyone knows she exists.

"Welcome to the Cathedral, Your Highness the Princess."

"You're so kind, Bishop Shiloh."

The two met politely, and Sir Mario, dressed in a blue double-headed eagle robe, stood behind the princess without saying a word. A great broadsword was behind him, and he, like Phil Lalei, was oblivious to everything in front of him.

"Let's go in and talk about it, Your Highness the Princess."

Shiloh smiled and led the way in front, but Kalia stepped forward and grabbed Shiloh's hand and said, "Please don't call me Her Royal Highness the Princess, just call me Kalia." We're all the same age, or I'll call you sister. ”

"Ha, Your Royal Highness Princess, you are noble, I am just a servant of the Holy Light." Shiloh shook his head, smiled and led Kalia into the open door of the cathedral.

The two of them chatted about the topic of lack of nutrition along the way to the interior of the cathedral, today is not a day of prayer, the cathedral is empty, only a few monks and priests pray here.

Leads Kalia to an ashram, where Kalia is pleasantly surprised to find that Fairbanks is also there.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, we meet again. Sorry, I've been really busy lately. Fairbanks apologized to the princess in good spirits, and then continued, "Bishop Shiloh and I invited you over, and Harvey ordered you to come over. ”

"Harvey?!" Kalia turned her head around in surprise, "What?" Is he back? ”

"No, not really." Shiloh smiled and shook his head, "He just sent the news in advance. ”

"Hmm...," there was a hint of disappointment on Kalia's face, but she quickly returned to normal, looking at them with a smile, "He must have asked me to come here for something I need to do, you say, if I can do it, I will definitely do it." ”

Fairbanks and Shiloh smiled at each other, and then Farbanks looked at Kalia and said, "Your Highness Princess, are you ready to appear in front of everyone?" ”

"What?!" Thinking she had misheard, Kalia nervously asked again, "Can you say that again?" ”

Farbanks repeated what he had just said, and Kalia tightened her mouth and her eyes turned red at that time, and then she immediately covered her mouth and tears fell down, but there was a look of joy on her face!

The clever Princess Kalia naturally knew what that meant, and everything she had been worried about these days had come to naught! For a long time, she had been worried about the throne and bloodline of the Minahir family, and she also got the answer in this sentence!!

All the questions that were suppressed in her mind were gone!!

Locke officially accepted her plan that day! She doesn't have to worry about her safety anymore!!

"Ahh

Shiloh handed Princess Kalia a tissue, and she said softly and calmly, "Tomorrow is a day of prayer, and the magnates and civilians of Iva will gather in the square outside, and it is Lord Harvey who has decided to reveal your identity. ”

When Princess Kalia calmed down, Farbanks admonished, "Your Highness Princess, you must think about what to say tomorrow. ”

Maybe in front of Shiloh, Fairbanks couldn't say anything. Kalia nodded, wiping her tears and saying, "I know what to say, if it weren't for Harvey, I wouldn't be where I am now, and I wouldn't be Lordaeron. ”

Shiloh just looked at the two of them with a smile before she interjected, "Talk to yourselves, I still have financial and logistical issues to deal with..."

Nodding to Fairbanks and bowing slightly to the princess, Shiloh turned and left.

It wasn't until Shiloh's footsteps were far away that Farbanks turned to look at Princess Kalia seriously, "Have you really figured out what to say?" If you say something unredeemable tomorrow, it'll make everybody..."

Calia interrupted Fairbanks with her head shaking her head, and she smiled and said, "I'm not going to do anything, and it doesn't make any sense. I had already told Locke that day. If he hadn't agreed, he wouldn't have let me appear in public tomorrow. ”

"Tomorrow all of Harvey's men will cooperate with you, and your security level is the highest. Your guard at Eva's residence will be strengthened, and many people are expected to return to visit you, so..."

"So—" Kalia spread her hands and shook her head playfully at Fairbanks, "you don't have to worry. You see, Bishop Shiloh is gone, so let's go. ”

Seeing that the princess had said so, Fairbanks didn't say anything more.

Leaving the gloomy ashram and descending the twenty-two steps of the Cathedral of Light, Kalia couldn't help but look back at the door, where she would be standing tomorrow, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

She's finally going to the stage!

※※※

Hudson couldn't calm down because of the drizzling rain, and he walked anxiously in the town hall of Southsea Town. Locke sat peacefully by the fireplace, looking at a pile of letters in his hand. After reading one, throw them directly into the firewood in the fireplace.

Locke's new staff, Sir Mormont, sat across from Locke, moaning comfortably as he held the tranquil flower tea in his hand.

"Most of these letters are meaningless, and do not prove that someone in the Kingdom of Stormwind interferes in the internal affairs of our country," Locke tossed the last letter in his hand into the firewood, and he looked up at Sir Mormont, "with that letter from the man codenamed 'J', I cannot complain anything to King Ureonen after I go to the Kingdom of Stormwind." ”

"There's too little evidence of actual control."

"It's okay, Lord Harvey." Mormont put down the teacup in his hand, rubbed his nose and said, "At least we have evidence that Clito has betrayed our Lordaeron, and you have a reason to sentence him to death." ”

"I admit that Clito was decisive enough, and I certainly don't believe that this Mr. 'J' has no real connection with Clito." Locke sat back in his bearskin chair, looked at Hudson, who was anxiously pacing around the room, and said, "Please sit down, General Hudson." ”

"Alas," Hudson sighed, and sat down beside Locke helplessly, looking at the raging firewood without making a sound.

"Princess Kalia won't say anything," Locke knew what Hudson was worried about, but he didn't explain much. His new staff member, Mormont, took over Locke's words, "Based on my assessment of your strength, I think Lord Hudson is too worried. ”

"If Princess Kalia had been in her mind, she wouldn't have said anything more tomorrow." Sir Mormont picked up the apple on his plate, took a bite of it, and said vaguely, "Lord Harvey has his own plan, and we don't need to worry about that. We don't go back, it's not because of the rainy season..."
