On the battlefield, the battle has just ended.

The armies of the Stormwind Kingdom did not pursue the fleeing orcs, they were busy treating their comrades, collecting the corpses of their comrades, and killing the orcs who were not yet dead.

Gianna teleported to Claudia's side with a gloomy face, but when she saw Claudia's right shoulder, which was obviously moving abnormally, she swallowed what she wanted to say, and said, "Your injuries are not serious, are they?" ”

"You can still move," Claudia said in pain, "I'll ask Evelyna to go to the tent and help me take off my clothes, what's wrong with your expression just now?" ”

Gianna's pretty face showed a look of obvious anger: "That group of sailors has no sense of honor at all, they are gathering together to torture the orcs who are not seriously injured to death, and even have fun with it. ”

The disgust in Claudia's eyes flashed, and she said, "I see, I will let General Jeresta pass the order and let the sailors give the Blackstone orcs a good deal if they are not dead." ”

This answer was obviously somewhat unexpected by Gianna, and she emphasized: "Claudia, we have won, and now those orcs who are not dead are prisoners. ”

Claudia gave a wry smile, with a tiredness that could not be concealed.

"I'm sorry, Gianna, you're right, but we've had too many people dead today, and if I let those orcs go, the soldiers who have nowhere to vent will complain about me, that I'm a weak woman after all."

"And I, now I don't have a little weak capital, you can see, when I lost Varian and they thought I was weak and could be bullied, everything I faced during this time."

Gianna was silent, she was often with Claudia these days, and naturally knew that Claudia was right, Gianna finally sighed helplessly:

"My sister, just do what you say, to be honest I'm a little worried about you."

Claudia smiled and reached out her left hand to pat Gianna.

"Don't worry, my sister, I'll be measured, I'll send someone to give orders to General Jerysta now."

Two days later, Stormwind.

Claudia and her soldiers were entering the city, returning with a small amount of loot and a large number of troll orc heads, and Red's head was placed in the most prominent position.

However, the civilians of Stormwind didn't care about the bloody scene.

They were cheering in praise and fervent cheers on Claudia and the soldiers who had gone on to fight, and Claudia's two victories had proven her to be the most important patron saint who could keep the inhabitants safe, and who needed one to dispel the shadows caused by King Varian's disappearance.

"Greetings to you, Her Majesty Queen Regent."

"What a brilliant victory, praise be to you, Your Majesty."

The nobles who were in charge of greeting them stepped forward and expressed their sincere admiration, respect, and praise to Claudia one by one, completely forgetting that they had objected to the queen's army, and Claudia also forgot about it, and responded politely one by one.

"Sister, your smile is a little stiff," Partris, who was also in charge of greeting, reminded in a whisper, "and the nobles can see it." ”

Claudia said disapprerovingly: "Little sister, don't worry, they and I just need to get by on the surface, I can't be as fake as that group of nobles--- who knows what that group of nobles are thinking now." ”

What Paltris could see, so could the nobles, and in the private meeting that day, the nobles discussed the matter.

"Our queen is really not good at acting." The Earl of Remington took a glass of fruit wine and drank it down, "Or maybe he doesn't have it." ”

"Even if it is disdainful, we should forgive her, she is both young and has the capital of disdain." Duke Visak laughed and snapped his fingers, and a waiter stepped forward to pour a full bottle of wine for the Earl of Remington.

Baron Raglan also nodded, and said with admiration: "Speaking of which, I really didn't expect her to not only win, but also win so beautifully, this is really our luck, at least we don't have to worry about foreign invasion during her reign." ”

Duke Visak nodded and agreed, "Yes, a stable environment is good for all of us. ”

After finishing speaking, Duke Visak looked at Duke Aldous Leskova with some strange eyes, this great nobleman who had never dealt with the royal family had been silent today.

"Aldous, what are you thinking?"

"I'm sorry," Aldous, who had not spoken, was awakened from his contemplation, his heart was already full of the smile of the stunning goddess beside the Queen Regent, and he tried to take the goddess away from his mind and changed the subject: "What should we do next?" ”

"Hmm-" Duke Visak pondered for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "The Queen Regent has a high prestige, and her rule is in our interests as a whole, we can cooperate with her rule in principle in the near future, but the group of gutter rats in MI7 is too annoying, and after a while we should report their wrongdoing to the queen, and see if we can apply for the revocation of MI7 or the reduction of their internal authority." ”

"That's right, those rats should have gotten out of the Stormwind Kingdom a long time ago!" Baron Raglan said loudly, and then he turned to Aldous: "Aldous, I remember that the rats were suspicious of the death of your father and butler. ”

Aldous's face began to distort, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This must have been done by those agents, there will be no one else, I will avenge my father's death sooner or later, and slaughter those agents who did it." ”

Earl Remington also nodded: "The queen is an upright person, and there is a certain feasibility in this matter, but even if MI7 can't be abolished, I think that group of rats will be a lot more restrained, in addition, I think there is another thing that is in our interest at the moment." ”

Duke Visak was visibly interested: "Please go on, Remington. ”

"Trade with the Night Elves has brought us all a lot of money," Earl Remington explained, "and presumably trade with the Horde has brought us a lot of money, but this trade agreement was recently put on hold indefinitely due to the disappearance of King Varian. ”

Baron Raglan had already understood what Remington was trying to say: "You mean, we are looking for someone to come forward and ask His Majesty to continue this trade agreement, but will the Queen Regent agree?" After all, King Varian disappeared because of this. ”

Duke Visak took Raglan's words and said in an affirmative tone: "She will, I understand some of the thoughts of the Queen Regent, she does not discriminate against orcs, she likes peace, and one more important thing is that the treasury is empty because of the chaos during this time, and she also needs tariffs and the royal fleet to bring her a part of the revenue to make up for the shortfall." ”

Baron Raglan said, "In that case, I'll find someone to arrange it in a moment, and Baron Kuholn may be a good candidate." ”

"So be it," Duke Visak nodded with satisfaction and raised his glass, "Cheers to our common good!" ”

"Cheers!" The nobles responded loudly to him.

Stormwind, the royal palace.

Claudia was sitting in the throne room at the moment, and she was in a rare good mood.

Today Fao is in Stormwind City, he will stay in Stormwind City for at least a few months, Claudia has introduced Paltris to Fao, hoping that he can guide his sister to understand light and shadow for a while, and Fao readily agreed.

Chirping-!

The door was pushed open, and Madias entered the room and bowed to Claudia: "Your Majesty the Queen Regent, please allow me to express my sincere apologies for the confusion and dereliction of duty caused some time ago. ”

"It's not your fault, Matthias, after all, you weren't in Stormwind at the time," Claudia said, "but it's a long-planned conspiracy, and I need to find out who is behind it, and Varian's whereabouts as soon as possible!" Can you help me? ”

Madias understood what Claudia meant, he knelt down on one knee and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please do whatever you want, MI7 will always be your sharpest eyes and sharpest dagger, and we are willing to fight for you, the ultimate life, unswerving." ”

Claudia helped Madias up: "Thank you for helping me, Madias, I have some information about the mastermind behind the scenes, the information is very reliable, you can help me check his identity......"

Claudia described the information she had received from the Duke of Facurrest, and Matthias was ordered to leave to investigate. In the meeting just now, Claudia has received the allegiance of MI7, which is very powerful, but Claudia does not have any joy about receiving this powerful power, and she is forced to do many things.

It was only because she loved Varian and that she wanted to protect the country and people that Varian left behind that she carried this burden, so she was willing to go against some of her beliefs and make certain decisions that she had found difficult to accept, including the use of MI7.

Two days later, afternoon tea.

Claudia fell asleep again in the middle of drinking tea, Gianna was a little helpless, called Liz, the personal maid on the side, and whispered: "It's been so many days, she still can't sleep well at night?" ”

Liz hesitated for a moment, and said with sympathy: "Your Majesty can only sleep better when Miss Partriss occasionally comes to accompany her, usually Your Majesty usually sits alone on the edge of the bed in a daze, and she can not fall asleep until the early hours of the morning...... Then he had to rise up very early to supervise the martial arts training of His Highness Anduin. ”

Gianna was stunned for a moment, she couldn't imagine what it would be like to sit alone all night and stay asleep, which made the kind-hearted Gianna blame herself for a while, if it wasn't for her invitation to the trade deal, Varian wouldn't have disappeared, and Claudia wouldn't have been so painful.

What made Gianna feel even more uncomfortable was that at the beginning of this afternoon tea, Claudia told Gianna a "good news", Claudia will replace Varian to meet with Thrall in these two days, and sign a trade agreement and another important agreement to achieve Gianna's long-standing wish.

Gianna thought of this and made an impromptu decision.

Twenty minutes later.

As soon as she woke up, Claudia was a little surprised and said, "Gianna, you said you were going to stay overnight?" ”

Gianna nodded, smiling brightly.

"yes, it's been a long time since we've spent the night chatting together, and the last time it was three years ago."

"That's right." Claudia also remembered the time when she was still young and rubbed against Gianna's magic tent, and laughed.
