Time always flies, and Varian doesn't want to spoil the warmth and sweetness, but in the end he has to wake up the girl.

He turned his head to look at Claudia, and the girl's slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and a smile appeared on her face, as if she was dreaming something.

Seeing this scene, Varian first hesitated obviously, and then patted the other party's shoulder with his hand: "Claudia, wake up, go back to sleep again." ”

"No, I'm going to eat some more." The girl, who had not yet fully woken up, swallowed lightly as she resisted.

"It's not too early, and you'll catch a cold if you sleep like this."

Claudia raised her head while rubbing her eyes, and only woke up a little after seeing Varian, and let go of the other party's arm with a slightly red face: "Varian, I'm sorry, I'm just sleepy." ”

"It's okay, what did you just dream about?" Varian was a little curious when he thought of what the girl had just looked.

Claudia was a little embarrassed and said, "Varian, I told you not to laugh at me, I dreamed of a lot of snacks and small cakes on the table. ”

"Okay, I see, you can go back and get some rest." Varian made a note and held back a smile.

After Claudia put on her coat and said goodbye to Varian, she returned to Gianna's residence, where Gianna was frowning and sitting at the table with a frown, thinking about something in front of a few drafts full of words, and when she saw the girl returning, she hurriedly found a savior:

"You're back, charge that crystal for me."

Claudia turned out the citrine and injected it with holy light, Gianna didn't care about thanking her and hurriedly hugged the crystal to solve the problem, Claudia went to change her clothes and take a bath to prepare for rest, and when she was busy with all this, she found that Gianna had stopped working, and returned the crystal to the girl with satisfaction, Claudia asked while putting away the crystal: "Your Highness, your problem solved?" ”

"Well, although there are still a lot of questions, but an important problem has been solved just now, and I will ask the Night Elves for some well water from the Moon Well when I have time in the future." After Gianna finished speaking, she took a sip of a glass of water and turned her gaze to her female companion and admonished, "We better rest tonight, you can't be like this morning tomorrow." ”

"I will." Claudia, who had just sat down on the bed, agreed a little embarrassed, and it seemed that Gianna had also found out about her napping in the morning.

Gianna also changed her clothes and went to bed after Claudia agreed, and did not forget to give Claudia an extra pillow, Claudia slept peacefully tonight, and soon fell asleep with the pillow in her arms, but Gianna still did not sleep well.

The experienced Gianna could naturally see from Claudia's expression that she was in a state of love, and Gianna was a little relieved and remembered her previous relationship, and was inexplicably a little sad.

Gianna had also fallen in love with someone so blindly and desperately, she had trusted Arthas with all her heart in Dalaran, believing that he was her everything, but after she had completely surrendered herself to Arthas, she got a request to break up, and since then, she has believed in reason and wisdom more than blind feelings, after all, wisdom is like power, and will never betray her.

Now you are so happy.

Gianna glanced at Claudia, who was already completely asleep, and suddenly became a little envious.

The night passed, and the next morning, after thanking Gianna, Claudia took her luggage and returned to the side of the Stormwind Kingdom's army.

Claudia is Varian's lieutenant after all, and it is impossible for her to stay with Gianna all the time, and today she will have her own military tent next to Varian's tent after evacuating to the rear with the rest of the army, of course, she can still go to Gianna's to bathe in hot water if she wants.

When he returned to Varian's Horde, Varian was receiving Duke Thadonbrick and Bishop Dravi, who had led the paladins and priests to retreat, and Claudia did not bother them, but after greeting another lieutenant, Arthur, she went to the quartermaster, who needed a new horse.

Claudia's previous white horse was no longer able to adapt to her current strength, so she had to let the horse out of her own way to avoid being injured a few times except for the last charge, and she now needed a mount of the level of royal knights, strong enough to fight for a long time with heavy horse armor. As for the white war horse that had been with her before, she also had a certain affection and did not plan to return it, but planned to spend money to buy it and bring it back to Stormwind City to raise.

The road to the quartermaster was not far, and along the way, the other royal knights greeted Claudia warmly or saluted with respect, and Claudia returned the salute with a smile and politeness. As a Holy Paladin, she has always been very popular with these soldiers, whether it is in the Northern Expedition in Arthas, or the army of Theramore, or her own army of Stormwind.

Claudia is even more so among the royal knights, she was originally familiar with most of the royal knights who have been stationed in Stormwind Fortress all the year round, in the battle of the palace, most of the royal knights have witnessed her and General Marcus, Duke Boval, and even more than a dozen royal knights were beaten by her own hands and received her apology afterwards, since then, the young and beautiful and powerful Claudia has become a celebrity among the royal knights, in the previous battlefield, Claudia has personally treated and encouraged many royal knights, With his kindness, he won their respect and love from the heart.

Claudia met Austin, the quartermaster of the alliance side, and made her own request, Austin was very enthusiastic about her arrival, in addition to agreeing to her request to buy a white war horse, but also very happy to give her a royal knight's standard war horse and horse armor, the girl who achieved the goal thanked Austin and met her new partner, a fierce horse that was also white, Claudia named it "Ormont".

This kind of elite war horse bred by the royal unity is very miraculous, it is the best horse breed known to mankind, whether it is explosive, gravity or durability is very good, it can recover after a long gallop and only need to rest for a while, and the combat quality has long been trained and well-trained, whether it is the tip of the spear, artillery, or magic, as long as it is ordered to rush up and hit without hesitation, and can assist the master to trample the enemy.

After a short exchange of feelings, Claudia rode back to the Chinese army tent on a new war horse, at this time Bishop Dravi and Duke Shadom Breck had already finished talking to Varian, and the two ministers had official business to do and were about to leave, after seeing Claudia, Duke Shadom Breck walked up to Claudia, handed her an unopened paladin standard material package and left with a few simple greetings.

Claudia opened the material package and found that there was a sacred talisman in addition to the twenty king's seals, she picked up the sacred talisman and put it in her hand, she hadn't seen this kind of thing for more than a year, this white stone sculpture exuded a faint chill, and the surface of the stone sculpture was densely covered with blood-colored runes.

"Give me this, you shouldn't have such a dangerous thing" Varian's voice came from the side, and the girl turned to look, he was frowning at the sacred talisman in the girl's hand.

I didn't expect Varian to recognize the Holy Rune as well.

"Your Majesty, if I have this, you can have one more life." Claudia did not immediately take the order, but explained to him, but seeing that Varian was unmoved, he still extended his hand to her, and the girl did not continue to resist, and handed him the holy talisman.

Varian put away the holy talisman and said with a serious expression, "I will protect myself and you, but promise me never to use that spell, as if you never learned it." ”

"I promise you, Your Majesty." Claudia's heart warmed and agreed, this spell was not so important to her now, even if there was no divine interference, she had a sacrificial hand, and she could also share his damage in times of crisis.

After the interlude, Claudia accompanied Varian with the rest of the army to evacuate, and after a half-day march, she arrived at the new camp, and according to the deployment discussed at yesterday's meeting, the new line of defense on the Alliance side was much further behind than the Horde's, and the tribesmen would be the first line of defense, while the human and Night Elf armies would form the second and third lines of defense.

The location of the new camp is already the territory of the Night Elves, and the Night Elf soldiers can be seen outside the camp from time to time, and the human soldiers have also built simple fortifications here, and are working overtime to strengthen the fortifications to cope with the possible outbreak of the next battle, Claudia also took a short time to set up her new tent with the assistance of other soldiers, and then she spent a while tidying up the inside of the tent, put her luggage in, and returned to work.

Because both the Alliance and the Horde were to move their camps and prepare a new line of defense, the second meeting of the League was scheduled for the next morning, and Claudia was not too busy that night, and after the other lieutenants had left, she rubbed the king's shoulders and chatted for a while before going back to rest, and when she returned to the tent, the Silver Hand suddenly said to her:

"There's one thing you better know about you and the human king."

"How?" Claudia asked curiously.

"Now you are not a pure-blooded human being, even if you don't inherit the throne of order, your lifespan is much longer than him, although he is a relatively strong warrior, but it is difficult for a pure warrior to break through the limit of mortals, it is very likely that when he is gray-haired, the years will not affect you at all."

Claudia was silent for a while, and finally said disapprehantly, "I see." ”
