The man in the living room closed the huge book in his hand with a 'snap' and quickly turned around. A pair of bright, tearful eyes stared at Hilnai. Soon, his wrinkled face began to tremble irregularly, and the sound he was about to utter trembled for it.

"No, I'm going to disappoint you.... Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Shirna stood stunned, looking at the stranger in front of her at a loss until the man was about to come and approach her. She woke up and stepped back, the empty cloth bag in her hand shaking on her chest.

"No, no, no, you... You're mistaken, I... No..... Princess. ”

As if afraid of scaring Hilna, the man stopped in place. He straightened his bishop's robes, spread out the blue double-headed eagle silver hand robe on his body with trembling hands, and then bowed to Shener very formally.

"Falbanks, advisor to the High Lord Alexandros Mograini, member of the Knights of the Silver Hand, and high procurator of the Crusaders, has paid a visit to Her Royal Highness."

After saying that, the bald priest did not bend down, he still bent deeply, waiting for the princess's reply.

Perhaps it was Farbanks' words that made Shirnay relax her guard slightly, and she said hesitantly, "The princess has long since disappeared into the royal city of Lordaeron... I'm really not a princess, you're really mistaken. ”

But having said that, she didn't go to Fairbanks' side, she just lowered her pocket.

Fairbanks smiled bitterly, he let out a long sigh, and looked up at the still wary girl in front of him. "Princess Kalia, don't you want to know how I found you among all the people of Iva ?

This sentence is easy to understand, if there is no tangible evidence, how can I assume that you are a princess?

Without any more nonsense, she just stood there quietly, her light blue eyes calmly staring at Fairbanks.

Fairbanks turned to the seat where he had been seated, picked up the book on the table, and flipped through the pages.

"Stop! You don't have to flip it, Fairbanks... Priest! Shirnay reached out to stop Fairbanks from flipping through the books. However, the pastor did not stop.

Ignoring Cilnai's shouts, Farbanks still flipped through the books in his hands, but the words came out of his mouth.

"My evidence is not this hardcover Bible from the palace," Fairbanks whispered, his hand moving quickly. "Nor is it the ubiquitous commentary on the understanding of the Light..."

"It's because of him—" Fairbanks stopped his movements, and he flipped the Bible in his hand to a page and stopped. He looked up at Hilnai, "This is the name that all of our clergy should worship. ”

Fairbanks laughed, and the Bible in his hand began to glow with a faint golden glow from his hands.

"Alonsos Fao!"

A relieved expression appeared on Shirna's face, and she completely relaxed.

Except for the archbishop, no one knew that she lived here.

But then, her lips tightened, her head lowered, and her long blond hair fell down her ears.

The sound of sobbing noses rang out in the room, and soon the sound turned into a suppressed cry, and the choking sound followed.

The past once again came to mind.

His father, Terenus, was killed by his brother Arthas, and it was a human tragedy. The entire Minethil family was almost uprooted, and Lordaeron was destroyed.

And the initiator of all this is his own brother!

Alsace!

The long-suppressed pain and helplessness, sadness and heartbreak began to intertwine in Kalia's heart, and she could no longer hold back and began to cry.

Grievances, resentment, and grief were first revealed in the eyes of Lordaeron's former people.

"Ugh." Fairbanks could only let out a long sigh, and was speechless.

Lordaeron's current appearance, as well as the great changes in the royal family of Minethil, undoubtedly caused the most impact and damage to the girl in front of him.

Fairbanks couldn't imagine the horror she had suffered when Lordaeron was broken. I can't imagine how frightened she was, led by the archbishop, through the ruins of the royal city of Lordaeron. I don't know how she is here, learning to be an ordinary person, living incognito and suffering.

The emotions were vented to a certain extent, and Kalia's cries became intermittent and gradually subsided.

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper." Calia wiped her tears from her tears with a handkerchief from her body, and she forced a smile at Fairbanks, "I should have forgotten about the past. ”

"All will be fine, Your Highness." Fairbanks comforted, but he didn't know what to do next.

punctured the princess's disguise, which made both of them more cautious. For Fairbanks, this is Her Royal Highness the Princess! The last bloodline of the Minahir family in this world, the only heir of the kingdom, and the hope of the revival of the kingdom!

For Princess Kalia, her disguise was revealed, and her vulnerable side was once again revealed to the world. I am afraid that my long-term fear will sweep back again, and this time it will become much more complicated.

The scene fell silent, and no one spoke, except for the whirring sound of the pot where the bread was being steamed in the living room.

"Your Royal Highness, with all due respect." This embarrassing scene was broken by Farbanks, who raised the Bible in his hand and said, "You shouldn't put this Bible in such a prominent position, it will make you much more likely to be in danger." ”

"For now, it's better for you to hide your identity."

Princess Kalia shook her head, "No one has ever entered this house except the archbishop. Just as I thought you were an archbishop from the beginning. ”

Putting down the Bible in his hand, Fairbanks pulled out a scroll and handed it to Kalia.

"What is this?" Kalia didn't take it, she looked at Fairbanks suspiciously.

"Archbishop Fao asked me to hand you something," said Fairbanks, shaking his head, "I don't know what is written on it. In fact, I was able to find you for another reason. ”

"At the beginning, the Archbishop had already learned that Locke Harvey was looking for you, and he wanted to come back and tell you in person what to do in this matter. But he himself had something very important to do, so the archbishop approached me, who was speaking in Iva. He asked me to come here to contact you and keep you safe. ”

"Also, the archbishop doesn't approve of you going back with him, but he also says it's up to you what you do."

Without the slightest hesitation, Kalia took the sealed scroll from Farbanks' hand and opened it to look at it. It was a long time before she looked up at Fairbanks. It's just that his face has regained its composure when he first saw him.

"Pastor Fairbanks, I think you must have been shocked at the first sight of the archbishop!?"

Fairbanks then laughed, scratching his Mediterranean hair and said, "Can you imagine? How dare an undead scourge come to me on the crowded streets of Iva and say that he is Archbishop Fao?! ”

"Now that I think about it, I felt like I was living in a dream that day."

However, Kalia was not satisfied with his answer, and she tried to ask, "What do you think of the status of the Archbishop who is now the Scourge of the Dead?" ”

"You may not know what happened to me." Fairbanks said with a little anger, "Just because of that shameful betrayal! I've been infected with the plague of the undead, and if it weren't for the druid's timely treatment, I'm afraid I'd be one of them. ”

"If you think that I would question or even hostile the Archbishop because of his current status as an undead. Well, I won't be here now. Fairbanks' eyes turned red, and he said in a voice of suppressed anger, "Now I think that some people who are alive are even worse than those who live in agony after death!" At least they won't betray! Identity that will not be forgotten either! And not to betray the country! ”

"Yes...... Kalia lowered her head, and the faint words came out of her mouth clearly.

"When I fled from the ruins of Lordaeron, led by the Archbishop... No! Kalia looked up and said with tears in her eyes, "That's not called fleeing.... That's called a safe exit...."

"I'm counting... The people of Lordaeron, who had been resurrected from the dead, left the dead city under escort. ”

"Even... Dead Lordaeron soldiers... All the way to the edge of the Silver Pine Forest. ”

"Ugh...."

Looking at the princess who was silently weeping, Fairbanks was angry and sad, and he never forgot the scene when Renault waved the Ash Messenger behind his father.

It was like a nightmare, always recurring in his dreams.

"Life will go on, and the boundaries between the living and the dead are clear." Fairbanks collected his emotions and said to a slightly sad Kalia, "Princess, you must not assume that they are all good because they have helped you... Person. ”

"Maybe they used to be human, but they're not anymore. No one knows what other thoughts the development of time will give birth to them, whether they still identify with their identity as a Lordaeron citizen. ”

"I know, I know," Kalia said as she wiped her tears away, "let's change the subject." ”

Fairbanks nodded, took a few steps back, came to the table in the living room, pulled out a chair, and motioned for the princess to sit down.

Kalia bowed to him and sat down in her chair.

"How do you think I should respond to Lord Locke Harvey's search for me?" Kalia looked at Fairbanks, who was frowning, and she said sincerely, "Everyone in this land knows that he once saved your life, and I want you to tell me what I should do." ”

"The archbishop told me that I shouldn't respond to Lord Harvey...... He said..."Princess Kalia bit her lip and said hesitantly.

"The archbishop said I... I am not fit to run this kingdom, and I am not fit to take on the enormous responsibilities that come with what is about to happen. ”

"What should I do?"
