Time flies, Claudia has been an adjutant for a month, and in this month, a lot has happened.

The fleet has returned twice, bringing back nearly 60,000 victims, and the officials of the Stormwind Kingdom are busy enough, mobilizing food, distributing the victims to the Dawn Forest, the Western Wilderness, and Red Ridge Mountain, establishing order, organizing land reclamation, and a series of other things need to be dealt with by them.

Claudia's lords were the first to be brought back, and her lords were assigned to the Wild West because of the farmstead given to them by the Earl of Richville, and the king also granted Claudia a piece of wasteland next to the farmstead, forming a new barony.

The New Territory is located northwest of Mooncreek near the sea, near a large farmstead that is the domain of Stormwind's famous architect, Barons Alexton.

Ballons usually works in Stormwind, Claudia once visited him during a break with the purpose of communicating with the neighbors, and after learning the identity and intention of the blonde girl, he entertained Claudia very warmly, and offered to let his own workers help Claudia build a new territory,

Claudia gladly accepted the offer, as Barlons was known for his craft in Stormwind, where he was responsible for the design and construction of the most important Stormwind fortress during the rebuilding of Stormwind, and then she refused Barlons' near-free price and insisted on giving him the full amount.

The gold coins were actually a reward from King Varian, which was given to her along with the wasteland, and Claudia did not refuse the king's reward, because she was indeed short of money, but the debt to the king became even more.

On the slopes of the new territory not far from the sea, Claudia will also build a new home, which she named Long Beach Manor, although Claudia and her sister will not be there for a short time, but if she has a holiday or the king no longer needs her, she can go to Long Beach Manor to live the life she really wants.

The territory is not safe, there are fishmen on the nearby beaches, and there are a few gnolls in the woods, but these are small threats, and the biggest trouble is that bandits are rampant, but no matter what, it is better than natural disasters and werewolves.

Captain Capet also arrived, but he didn't stay with Claudia for long, he was the only knight under Claudia, and Claudia gave him a farm as his fief, and he was to preside over the affairs of the barony for a short time.

Steward Roddy and his wife Mina will stay in their new home in Stormwind, which is safer and more suitable for pregnant Mina to recuperate, and Roddy Butler arrives with three maids and a cook to take care of the sisters' daily lives.

Ser Rhine and his family also remained in Stormwind, where he returned to the army and became a favorite of Duke Satumbreck through his role as a defensive paladin and a former member of the Iron Horse Brotherhood.

Claudia's adjutant career is still running normally, and her relationship with Varian has been much closer after that night's conversation, because they both know some of each other's past, so the distance has also been shortened a lot, and every four days of vigil, she will first release Varian to calm her mind before going to rest, and the next morning to practice swordsmanship.

In fact, it is said that it is a swordsmanship practice, more often than not, it is more like a one-sided guidance, Varian's martial arts skills are much higher than her, even if she uses the power blessing and the speed of holy light, she is not Varian's opponent, under the guidance of King Varian, her swordsmanship cultivation that has been stagnant for a long time has improved rapidly again.

The same as being an assistant, the same being instructed in swordsmanship, and the same care and care of others, Claudia seems to have returned to the time when she was with Tairosus a few years ago, those years were the best times she can remember, and there was not much burden on her body, so she has been very happy lately.

Especially after having the experience of serving in the Alsace army, facing real suffering and despair, she cherished this hard-won happiness even more, and more spontaneously served Varian.

After spending a long time with Varian, especially since she had the experience of helping Varian cast spells at night and practicing swords with the king in the morning, she knew the true image of the king better than anyone else.

In the eyes of others, Varian by day is a majestic king, stern, diligent, decisive, awe-inspiring and enviable, but Claudia is more sympathetic to Varian by day, because Claudia has had a similar experience, so it can be seen that Varian actually does not like to be king.

Varian has little interest in handling tedious official duties and complicated relationships, and he is now a king only because he has a full sense of responsibility, not because the position of king brings him joy or glory. He only felt joy and excitement in his heart in the morning when he practiced his sword or occasionally discussed military affairs, and he clearly preferred to be a warrior or an officer more than a king.

On some nights, Claudia would not leave after releasing the tranquility, she would tend to stay a little longer and talk to the king for a while, and Varian would sometimes talk about what he had seen and heard in Lordaeron, and some things about King Terenus, and the blonde girl would sometimes respond, more often than not, and usually after a while, the king would fall asleep under the influence of the spell. When he fell asleep, the king was so quiet that he could not see the majesty of the day, and Claudia would gently cover him with a quilt and leave.

Claudia rested this morning, and after breakfast, she took the copy of "Shadow of the Heart" with her and walked up the hill along the path behind the house, intending to find a place near the brook to read in the shade.

She has been getting this "Shadow of the Mind" for a while, and Claudia is very inspired by the thoughts on the mind recorded in it, although she can't learn the psychic spell with the power of the shadow as the medium, but after referring to it, she has faintly sensed the existence of how to attach emotions to the direction of the spell.

After leaning against the tree and reading for a while, Claudia suddenly looked up at the top of the tree, saw the two blue birds chirping and arguing, and laughed.

Interrupted from reading, Claudia stopped reading and remembered the information she had received in the morning, and then she stopped smiling and looked worried.

The Scourge Army has recently swept through the orc tribes near Alterac, and is gathering near Dalaran at this time, the battle of Dalaran is about to break out, and the Storm Kingdom has only assisted some precious spell casting materials and a few high-level mages through the portal for the time being, and whether to carry out larger-scale assistance in the future depends on the development of the battle situation.

Claudia was a little worried about Mentor Tairosus and her other former friends in the Northlands, she had written a letter to send to Hearthvale through Stormwind's military channels yesterday, but she didn't know when Mentor would receive it.

In addition to recounting the girl's experience in the past two months, the letter also asked about the mentor's physical condition, whether he needed assistance, and expressed his apologies for not being able to fight with him for the time being.

However, with the fall of Lordaeron as a whole, it is unclear how long it will take for the letter to reach the Valley of the Hearth, where there is no mage tower.

Thinking of Dalaran, who was about to face the flames of war, Claudia said to herself with some worry: "I wonder if the Burning Legion will destroy Dalaran as known in the previous life?" ”

A delicate voice suddenly interjected: "Then do you know how to defeat the Burning Legion?" ”

"How would I know, wait, who are you?" Claudia looked at the white-haired, priestly dwarf girl in front of her, a little wary, she didn't notice how this girl appeared next to her.

"If you don't know, then I'll be relieved." The white-haired dwarf girl did not answer Claudia's question, but turned and walked backwards.

"Stop!" The Silver Hand said suddenly, this was the first time it had spoken to an outsider.

The dwarf girl didn't stop and continued, "I know what you're trying to say, we've been fulfilling our obligations, but this time mortals have to prove themselves. ”

The Silver Hand fell silent, and the dwarf girl continued:

"Soon, you will face your new destiny with that girl."

"Goodbye, we'll meet again soon."

Claudia was puzzled and wanted to ask about the Silver Hand, when a sweaty soldier appeared in front of her:

"Major, I've been looking for you for a long time, Your Majesty is summoning you, please go to the palace as soon as possible."

Claudia immediately wondered: Is there some emergency?

She didn't even change her clothes, and quickly followed the herald down the mountain, and by the time she got to the bottom of the mountain, she had completely forgotten what had just happened on the mountain.

When King Varian saw Claudia, he spoke apologetically:

"I'm sorry to call you over while you're resting, the Mage Tower just received a message that Her Highness Gianna wants us to send a high-ranking paladin or high-level priest to give a holy blessing to the church in her new city."

"Several bishops and dukes are busy with official business, and it just so happens that you and Her Royal Highness Gianna also know each other, so I may have to trouble you to make a trip this time."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will return to serve you as soon as possible." Claudia agreed, city-level churches generally need members of the high-level Brotherhood of Light to bless, which is usually the work of the archbishops, but the faith of the Holy Light of Kurtilas is not popular, and there are no hero-level Holy Light Surrogates, so it is normal to borrow people from the Stormwind Kingdom.

Varian continued: "It's hard for you to go out this time, and I will entrust someone to take care of your family and lords, and you can rest for a few more days when you come back." ”

"Stay safe, the King's Blade will be waiting for you tomorrow in the harbor."

Claudia nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will arrive on time." ”

Claudia then returned home and began to prepare.
