The princess's words made Fairbanks subconsciously scratch his head, and he couldn't help but start thinking deeply. However, it didn't take long, and he recovered quickly.

"I don't know what you think, Your Highness the Princess," Fairbanks continued thoughtfully, "If you don't have the determination to stand up, you don't have to respond to Harvey's search, and you can continue to live incognito in this city." The city is now home to hundreds of thousands of people, and it can be difficult to find you. ”

"What if, you..."

Fairbanks didn't go on, he looked at Princess Kalia fixedly, hoping for a clear answer, and then decided whether to say or not to say the rest of the story.

Kalia didn't speak for a long time, but she suddenly got up and went to the shelf not far away, and after rummaging around there for a while, she came over with something.

A photograph, a family crest, a tiny, crudely carved statue of a family member, and a ring.

The things were laid out in front of Fairbanks, who knew what they must mean to the princess, and he waited patiently for her to speak.

"This photo..."

Kalia gently rubbed the photo in the middle, and Fairbanks craned her head to look at it.

Two very young girls.

A photograph of a young and shy Kalia posing with a girl in a mage's robe, in what appears to be a palace garden in the background. Although it had been a long time, Fairbanks recognized the somewhat immature girl almost at first sight, Gianna Proudmoore. The ** teacher who crossed the sea to the east not long ago, and was once the proud disciple of Antonidas, the leader of Dalaran, and she is not good now.

It is said that she chose to stand by while the orcs attacked his father, so much so that his father died tragically at the hands of the orc tribe.

Thinking about what happened to them afterwards, Fairbanks only felt that fate was so cruel.

Not far behind the two of them, King Terenus and his queen were talking to the others, but they were blocked by the two girls in front of them. The two were visibly a little happy. So much so that the king clutched his stomach and laughed with one hand on his back, without the slightest concern for his majestic image.

"It was a party," Kalia seemed to be deep in thought, her voice all tinged with slight pleasure, "a brief gathering between the Prodmore family and our Minethil family after their victory in the Orc War. ”

Fairbanks nodded in agreement with the princess, and he waited patiently, waiting for the princess to remember the past. In fact, the last thing a pastor lacks is patience.

"This is Gianna, you've seen it for sure," a sunny smile appeared on Kalia's face, "we're very good friends. ”

Farbanks nodded incessantly, but in his heart he was thinking about Gianna's tragic fate now.

Listen to the seamen from the sea, and a ballad is sung on the seas by the sailors of Kul Tiras, most of whom once followed Admiral Dailen Proudmoor of Kul Tiras.

At the beginning, seeing that the situation of natural disasters attacking Lordaeron was uncontrollable, he was also heartfelt because of his love for his daughter. Fearing that his daughter would be harmed by the orcs who had fled to that continent, the Admiral led most of the Alliance's navy to the continent of Kalimdor.

But what everyone didn't expect was that they witnessed that angry scene.

Because of this, Gianna never returned to her native country all these years.

"It was at that meeting that my father decided to be tolerant of the orcs from foreign lands, and his reasoning was supported by General Dai Lin."

Falbanks was awakened from his musings, and he silently looked at the princess, who had fallen into memories of the past.

"I didn't think I would be the heir to the family, nor did I think I would be the administrator of the country." A bitter smile appeared on Kalia's face, "I almost became the mistress of the Presto family, although the original choice was Gianna, not me. ”

"If it weren't for her young age." Kalia shook her head self-deprecatingly, "But that doesn't affect my panic about running a country. ”

Farbanks was a little entangled in this kind of palace insider told by the princess herself, but it was difficult to speak, so he could only listen to the princess with his head down.

Kalia put down the photo and picked up the family coat of arms on the table, and she said faintly, "When I left the royal city of Lordaeron, the Minethil family coat of arms in my hand reminded me that I was the last blood of this family. ”

"Whenever I reminisce about the past, I always see this coat of arms. The almost roaring voice kept saying..."

"You! Shouldering the heavy responsibility of the family's rise! You should take your share of responsibility! ”

Falbanks looked up abruptly, and he looked at Kalia with tears on her face.

"But I... It's just a woman! This kind of thing before, as long as Al...! Kalia stopped the name at the right time, and she choked up and said, "As long as he's here, my father will break me apart!" I've been told all the time that it's not something you're supposed to do! But now..."

“.... I don't know anything, I don't understand anything...", Karia wiped away her tears and said with hatred, "Now it's all going to be on me!" Is this fair? I really want to say that this is not a good thing I can do!! ”

"Yes! Who made me have the blood of the Minethil family in my veins?!! Kalia's tears flowed again, "The archbishop told me to give up!" Do you think I can just give up? ”

Fairbanks was silent, and when it came to this, he naturally understood what the princess was thinking. That's why Archbishop Fao didn't approve of her responding to Locke's search.

It has been too long for the people of Lordaeron to hear anything from the royal family of Minethil, and the people have forgotten about the once glorious family.

It is not the Minethil family who has been leading Lordaeron in the battle on this land. When its people desperately needed it to come out and save them, it fell first. And, in it, there is a prince who makes everyone's hearts ache, hate, and curse.....

So much so that the current people still welcome her, this is still unknown...

Therefore, with her current situation, her appearance will only cause bad consequences. Or become the puppets of these lords with real power in Lordaeron. After being used, it was used as a stumbling block and secretly killed in some unknown corner.

Or, abandoned by the people, replaced ....

Thinking like this, Fairbanks subconsciously thought of Locke.... He shook his head vigorously, banishing the thought from his mind.

"Your Royal Highness, if you have such intentions. I respect your ideas, and I will try to help you. Fairbanks' brain thought quickly.

Across from him, the weeping Princess Kalia snorted incessantly, and she hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her nose.

Fairbanks got up and walked up and down the limited living room, thinking about the situation in Lordaeron today. It didn't take long for Fairbanks to set his sights on her.

"So far, I think the breakthrough is still with Lockharvey." Fairbanks held out his hand to stop the princess's imminent questioning, and he continued, "I'll give you an analysis of it, Your Highness. ”

"First of all, the resistance force that is active in our kingdom of Lordaeron is armed with the Knights of the Silver Hand as the backbone. What you need to know, Princess, is that the Silver Hands believe in the Light and are loyal to the kingdom beyond question. If anyone would embrace you, I think they would. The exception is Renault, though. I'll tell you more about that later. ”

"There's a lot more you need to know about the Crusaders. Because of the clash of ideas, and other things, the Crusaders have been completely divided not long ago. Eva, where we are located, is the largest safe area. This is the area controlled by Lord Harvey, and this area of control includes the Tirisfal Glade and a small half of the Silver Pine Forest. ”

"Baron Tairosus has established the Silver Dawn, a new organization of Light, who controls the area of the Chapel of Light's Wish in the far east of the kingdom. Fighting against the undead all day long, the situation is very difficult. It is said that the members of their organization are no longer limited to humans, and they are welcome to join as long as they are creatures who resist the scourge of the undead. ”

"The Crusaders of the Hand of Tyr in the Valley of the Hearth, under the command of Dassault Khan and Abydis, fought against the undead. But they... I don't advise you to take their word for it. Because they are not trustworthy. ”

"That—" The princess was interrupted by Fairbanks again, and she had to keep her mouth shut and continue listening to him.

"Secondly, there are still large areas of territory south of Lordaeron that have not been attacked by the Undead Scourge. The lords of the southern kingdom have not done anything to support the kingdom against the undead scourge. Maybe it's because they can't do it, but I don't think so. ”

Falbanks frowned and said, "I once participated in Lord Harvey's military council, and he tried to send troops to the Hillsbrad Hills, but it was put on hold because the road was not opened. Because when he was on his way to the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas as an envoy, he had been missing for a while due to a magical accident. During that time, he was teleported to the Hills of Brad, where he briefly reached Talenmere and came into contact with the lords there. ”

The lords there did not welcome him and took a wait-and-see attitude towards the current state of the kingdom. According to Lord Harvey, those people already have signs of wanting to be independent of the kingdom. From this point of view, perhaps your presence may discourage them from thinking of self-reliance. ”

"So, whether these people are the strength that you can rely on for Her Royal Highness the Princess, this needs to be judged by yourself. Still, they were too far from the center of the kingdom. ”

"So you mean that the Crusaders are the power I can use?" Princess Kalia picked up the quill pen beside her and wrote the words "Crusader" on a piece of parchment.

"Yes, so to speak. However, I also need to give you a breakdown. Fairbanks sat back down across from the princess, and he pointed to the scar on his face and said in a low voice, "Look at the scars, they come from the weapons of the undead. I'm not trying to say how heroic I was in the face of natural disasters. I just wanted to tell you about the origin of this scar..."

"Is it because Renault betrayed his father? Grand Lord Alexandros Mograini? Naturally, the princess took this sentence, because Fairbanks was not often in Locke's control area, telling the others what had happened that day.

"Yes, I still can't forget what happened that day." Fairbanks nodded heavily, and he said in a low tone, "Who would have thought that a paladin who believed in the Holy Light would raise a butcher's knife against his own father!?" ”

"This ugly scene refreshed my understanding of human beings! To this day, I still don't dare to trust other people easily. ”

"That includes Rock Harvey, too." u
