Chapter 29: Feelings (Page 1/1)

Kurtilas, the beautiful kingdom of the sea, was now unfolding in front of Gianna. That's her hometown, her homeland. However, the closer she got to it, the more nervous Gianna's heart became. She barely sleeps all night, and an unspeakable emotion haunts her. Gianna would not even want to stay here if it weren't for the fact that the fleet needed to replenish the port of Kurtilas with water and food. She was afraid, afraid to see her mother's sad face, afraid to see familiar relatives, familiar scenery.

Yes, from the point of view of Kurtilas, Gianna is even a betrayer. If it weren't for her mother's intention to host her, Gianna knew that she would never have been able to set foot on this island again.

The fleet slowly sailed into the port, familiar scenery, familiar taste, familiar city, familiar harbor. For a moment, Gianna even saw her father, Dalin. Prodmoore. She saw that her father seemed to be still there, he was wearing a high navy hat, his emaciated body standing in the sea breeze, and in the dust and mist, she seemed to see her own childhood, and her small palm was holding her father's big hand, looking at the harbor and city they were familiar with......

"Your Majesty, we have arrived in the Kingdom of Kul Tiras."

The guards walked up and reported. The first half of his sentence was so clear, but the second half of it was swallowed back. The guards wanted to say - we are home. However, he didn't dare, he didn't know if Gianna still had feelings for this family, for Kurtilas. Or is it that the death of Dalin, the fall out between the nobles of Kurtilas and Gianna still lingers in the queen's heart? Unbeknownst to the guards, he could only stand still and wait for Gianna's orders.

"Okay, drop anchor, get ready to go ashore."

Gianna said slowly.

Exhausted and distraught, Gianna stepped onto the docks of Kul Tiras, supported by the guards. Here her mother Catherine. Prodmore has been waiting for a long time.

Without a shudder or politeness, Catherine took her daughter back to her residence, the palace mansion of the Proudmoor family.

……

"You shouldn't have taken such a risk, daughter."

As soon as they entered, Catherine dispersed, and when the door was closed, only the mother and daughter were left in the house...... It's really a no-brainer. I haven't seen him in three years. Three years is nothing for Kurtilas, but for Catherine and Gianna, it means a lot. In the past three years, Catherine relied on her own skills and stratagems, seized power little by little, struggled, and finally regained control of the kingdom of Kul Tiras, and also won back the position that belonged to them for the Prodmore family. And Gianna has also won the support of the people of Salamo in the past three years. Mother and daughter now control Azeroth's most powerful navy. Even Stormwind's fleet couldn't hold its head up in front of them.

"I have to risk ......"

Stretching away from her mother, Gianna said tiredly. Her eyes had dark circles from insomnia, and wrinkles had crept up her forehead. If it weren't for the deliberate disguise of magic, Gianna felt like she was about as old as her mother.

"It's not worth it, just let your men go, Lordaeron is a nightmare land after all. Especially for you. ”

Catherine was reassured. She handed her daughter a glass of honey water.

"Drink it, it's going to help you."

As a mother, Catherine said gently.

"Mother, are supplies and fleets ready?"

Taking the warm honey water from her mother, Gianna drank it all, and then became directly concerned about the assembly of the fleet. This made Catherine very distressed.

"Don't talk about this yet, I want to know what is the real purpose of your visit this time? It's not just for Lordaeron, isn't it? ”

Looking at Gianna's tired and haggard appearance, Catherine began to ask her daughter seriously.

"Why am I here not for Lordaeron?"

Gianna said as calmly as she could. She didn't like people to guess what was on her mind, and if it weren't for her own mother, Gianna assured that the person was now covered with ice. But it was Catherine who asked these words......

Gianna was a little at a loss, and I should say a little helpless. She looked at her mother, and she couldn't speak.

"What are you doing here, you know best. You're still thinking about Ares, aren't you? ”

Catherine saw through her daughter's thoughts at a glance. She asked aggressively. It's even a bit of a force for Gianna to admit it. But Gianna was still reluctant to answer. She turned her head to look for a pillow to lean on.

"Mother, you don't care about this matter, whether it's for Ares or for Lordaeron, I must come, and I have come. Don't ask. ”

Gianna perfunctory. How she wished her mother had stopped and given her some quiet time. Although, she already misses Ares...... This concern eventually turned into worry, and she was afraid, afraid that the moment she saw Ares, she would be sad and disappointed. Or maybe the best of his youth has passed, and Ares will see his old side. Gianna was melancholy in her heart. The door of her heart is never easy to open, even in front of her mother.

"Okay, I don't have to ask about it, but I always want to know about the child, I have the right to know. Gianna, my daughter, how long are you going to keep this a secret? Do you think that if you blindly cover it up, blindly hide it, people won't know the truth? Curiosity, curiosity will make people get to the bottom of something. Tell me, when are you going to make your child recognize his father? ”

Catherine asked aggressively. She looked at Gianna, and it was clear that the meeting was more of a private meeting than a strategic cooperation between the two countries.

"No, I won't let him know......"

Gianna replied softly. The tone was unusually firm. This made Catherine equally annoyed.

"But he'll know someday. When he grows up, he will hold your hand and ask who his father is? Why does everyone have their own father, but he doesn't. How will you answer when the time comes? ”

"I would tell him that his father was a great man, a hero, a great navigator, an adventurer. He died on a long voyage. ”

Gianna replied "blandly".

"A lie is a lie after all, do you want your children to live in hypocrisy and lies for the rest of their lives?"

Catherine asked.

Gianna didn't speak, she was stubborn in front of her mother like she did when she was a child, and she didn't speak. It's just that as she gets older, Gianna is no longer the ignorant little girl, but her stubbornness has also been deposited in the consumption of time.

What Catherine saw in her eyes was more determination and determination.

"Sometimes, lies are much more beautiful than reality."

Gianna spoke.

"You don't want to put pressure on him. You don't want to put Ares in a dilemma, and you don't want to see Ares give up on Lordaeron because of family ties. Because you know, Lordaeron needs him. He couldn't get out of there. So, you are willing to let your child remain incognito like this. ”

Catherine said aloud. Her words were accusatory, and at the same time, distressed. 's own daughter didn't need to bear so much ......
