At night, the Queen's bedchamber.

The Queen's Bedroom is located on the south side of the main building in the living area of Storm Fortress, including the Queen's bedroom, the bath, the Queen's Waiting Hall, the Queen's Retreat Room, and the Queen's Guard Room, among which the Queen's bedroom is Claudia's main resting place.

Although Varian did not like luxury, he did not save money on the decoration of Claudia's bedroom, which was full of traces of elaborate decoration, with richly woven carpets on the floor, carved bas-reliefs and paintings on the ceiling, and dark red filigree trimmed velvet on the walls, with the exception of the wall above the large bed--- where a special painting depicted Claudia happily snuggling in Varian's arms when she was pregnant.

Gianna looked away from the painting, sighed, and continued reading the arcane tome she had borrowed from Merry Winterwind, until the door was pushed open, and Claudia, who had just finished bathing and her hair was still slightly damp, walked in.

"You just cried?" As soon as the words came out, Gianna regretted a little, she asked a little too directly.

Claudia was slightly stunned, and soon she threw down her mask, tired and weak, and said, "How can you see it, obviously I have washed my face with cold water." ”

"Redness and redness can be reduced with cool water, but the moistness in the eyes can't be changed." After a brief explanation, Gianna said in a sincere tone: "Claudia, I know you're sad, but think more about happy things, like your children, I remember you just accompanied them before you went to the bath. ”

"Kid?" Claudia sighed, tears streaming down again: "You know, when I went to spend time with the kids tonight, Angela asked when my dad would come back, and I didn't know how to answer her......"

Gianna's heart became more and more uncomfortable, and gently stroked Claudia's back, comforting: "Let go, Claudia, I can feel your feelings, but Varian is still alive after all, and we will definitely be able to get him back." ”

"You're right, thank you, Gianna."

Gianna's words had a good effect, she reminded Claudia that her female companion was much worse than herself, and she was not in a position to complain a lot in front of Gianna, after all, compared to Arthas, Varian was still alive, and she and Varian had three children before.

When the two were chatting that night, Claudia tentatively asked her female companion: "Gianna, I heard that King Dalin is very anxious about your marriage, what do you think, Prince Liam, Prince Garin or ...... Prince Kael'thas ? ”

"This ......" Gianna forced a smile to make an excuse: "I'm an archmage, I can use arcane spells to prolong my life, even if I'm twenty-seven years old, I'm still young." ”

Really.

Claudia sighed inwardly.

Gianna was obviously looking for an excuse to lie, she had specifically asked Egwene what was going on with the life extension magic during this time, it was not ordinary arcane magic that could prolong life at all, no matter how much arcane magic could not have such an anti-heaven effect, only arcane fire could play a qualitative change and achieve this.

Just as the silver fire is the embodiment of the divine power of order in the present world, the arcane fire is the embodiment of the divine power of the arcane in the present world, and it is not something that mortals can condense at all, not even Egwene can do after losing the Tirith sigil, let alone Gianna.

"Gianna."

"Huh?"

"Come with me to explore the ruins in a while, there may be something in there that will really extend your life."

"Thank you, and I'm sorry."

Gianna agreed, and in addition to that, she had already understood that her excuse had been recognized, and said her true thoughts with a wry smile:

"Actually, I can't forget Arthas, who was so righteous and had a bright future, and I wonder every day what I can do and say in Stratholm to stop him from going down the dark path."

"The light is above." Claudia hugged Gianna and encouraged the other party: "It's not your fault, Gianna ......." ”

That night, the two sympathetic women talked to each other, comforted each other, encouraged each other, and Claudia finally slept a little more that night.

Oops, no, what's so late.

The next morning, when Claudia opened her eyes, her first consciousness was like that.

She cautiously let go of Gianna, and tiptoed out to get dressed and go to the martial arts training ground, urging Anduin to practice martial arts.

In fact, this kind of work can be left to other royal knights to do, Anduin's current level is not to the point where he needs the guidance of a warrior of Claudia's level, but Claudia still insists on doing it herself, after all, Anduin needs her care more--- his biological parents are not able to accompany him now.

But fortunately, Anduin's performance recently has made Claudia very happy.

Anduin seems to have opened his mind, he has worked extremely hard in his recent training, and his martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds, he has surpassed the martial arts progress of his peers, and even caught up with the level of Claudia at her age, and it seems that he will be a heroic warrior again when he becomes an adult.

However, Anduin does not seem to feel comfortable being a warrior, he clearly tells Claudia that he wants to be a paladin, and often runs to Archbishop Fao during his free time to ask Archbishop Fao about the true meaning of the Holy Light, although this is contrary to Varian's expectations, Claudia still chooses to respect Anduin's life choice.

When Claudia arrived at the training ground, Anduin was practicing hard alone, and he didn't actually need Claudia to stare at it, but Claudia still apologized:

"I'm sorry, kid, but the maid didn't wake me up today, I'm late."

"It doesn't matter, Queen Mother, in fact, I haven't fully learned what you taught me yesterday." Anduin grimaced at Claudia, "I can practice it myself, I'm not a kid like my brother and sister anymore." ”

"Not a child," Claudia smiled and reached out to ruffle the Storm Prince's blonde hair to show the difference in height, and said in a relaxed tone, "So little man, show me the results of your training." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother."

……

After practicing her martial arts, Claudia took Anduin and began to return to the Queen's Bedchamber, where they would have breakfast together.

Claudia was delighted to see that Gianna had woken up, and was easily teasing Claudia's children, laughing cheerfully from time to time.

Claudia greeted Gianna, picked up Baracen, and called out to the maid, "Liz." ”

"At your service, Your Majesty."

"Go to the kitchen and tell me to prepare applesauce, darlaran cheese and a glass of honey milk this morning."

Liz went to the kitchen, and Gianna was moved, these are the things she likes to eat, and she smiled and said, "Thank you." ”

"That's my proper etiquette." Claudia smiled back.

Soon after, breakfast was served, and the maids were feeding breakfast to His Royal Highness, while Claudia and Gianna discussed the signing of the contract they had mentioned yesterday at the dinner table.

"The time can be scheduled for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, Sal and I usually meet secretly at Razor Ridge, of course, the small island between Theramore and Durotal called Raging Tide Bay is also a suitable location, do you think these two locations are more appropriate?"

"Let's take Raging Tide Bay, Razor Ridge is too hot, especially for my armor."

"Okay," Gianna nodded, "but I don't think you need to be too nervous, we all know Sal, he's a gentleman." ”

Claudia shook her head, "No, Gianna, this is a formal conversation between nations, a different form of battlefield, so I need to wear my armor and take the Stoneka to the battle." ”

Gianna smiled and stopped persuading, but Anduin, who was listening, suddenly interjected: "After signing the contract, will the tribe live in peace with us from now on?" ”

"There's no doubt about it," Gianna shrugged, "Sal will keep the contract." ”

Claudia shook her head: "I don't have much hope for this, Thrall is the leader of the orcs after all, and he needs to respect the will of the orcs, and public opinion is such a thing...... The most fickle is that the orc tradition does not have such a trade--- they all grab it directly. ”

Gianna frowned and reproached, "Claudia,"

Claudia greeted Gianna, picked up Baracen, and called out to the maid, "Liz." ”

"At your service, Your Majesty."

"Go to the kitchen and tell me to prepare applesauce, darlaran cheese and a glass of honey milk this morning."

Liz went to the kitchen, and Gianna was moved, these are the things she likes to eat, and she smiled and said, "Thank you." ”
