Chapter 4 The Future

yes, I should have guessed a long time ago.

Claudia stroked the green ring on her left ring finger and fell into deep guilt.

If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have had to go to the Northern Rift to participate in this expedition that didn't belong to him, and it was I who put him in a mortal situation.

Does he still recognize me? Will you stab me directly with a sword when you see me? How do I deal with him?

The girl was in a depressed mood, and before she knew it, she had returned to her sister Partris's room.

Partres was already fascinated by Segrina's animal companion Acturis, and Arcturus changed his disregard for the others, and stood up and jumped from side to side on his hind legs, his front paws still swaying rhythmically, as if he was dancing, and some clumsy dance steps suddenly made Paltris laugh, and this smile suddenly made the whole room seem to brighten.

Partris is far more beautiful than her sister Claudia, Claudia's advantage is the hot body maintained by year-round exercise, but her facial features are too heroic, so she is slightly masculine. And her sister Paltris is completely different. Her soft and brilliant blonde hair was scattered casually on her shoulders, her round white jade cheeks and lake-blue eyes were as bright as paint, coupled with long eyelashes, a delicate nose, and thin burgundy lips formed her perfect facial features. Beneath the swan-like neck is a clear collarbone, and beyond the sleeves are tusk-like forearms and delicate hands. Coupled with her slender and slender figure and gentle and beautiful voice, she can be called a city and a country, and her elegance is peerless.

Looking at the smile on her sister's face, Claudia's heart suddenly melted, and all the worries disappeared immediately, no matter what happened, as long as she could protect the smile on her sister's face, it would be fine.

She couldn't bear to disturb her sister, but Arcturus found the returning knight girl first, and hurriedly ran over to make a bear pounce, if it weren't for Claudia's quick dodge, it is estimated that she would have become the first knight in the history of the Lordaeron Grand Abbey to be crushed to death by a bear, she couldn't help but knock on the aggrieved bear head angrily and funny, and quickly explained: "You are too heavy, it's not that I don't like you, just stand up and hug us next time you say hello to us." ”

Partris also walked over, with a smile in her shallow dimples:

"Sister, are you hungry, how about we go to the restaurant for dinner."

"Okay." Claudia casually agreed, and then looked around strangely.

"What about Segrina? Her baby companion is still here, where has she gone? ”

"Sister Seli, I just went out while talking about what the child had grown up and ran away with others, Sister Seli obviously looks about the same age as her sister, but she already has a child? Do we need to wait for her? Partris leaned down and touched the soft hair of Acturius, and replied.

"Don't listen to her nonsense, she doesn't know when she'll be back, let's take Arcturis to eat first, and bring her some later."

Hearing her sister's words, Claudia was also a little strange, Arcturis was a little ignorant of others, and for Segrina she was more like treating the latter as a free maid and meal ticket, but she was only so enthusiastic about herself and her sister, could it be that this was also the reason for Valkyrie's blood? Old Baron Thirberchel did not have any talent in the Holy Light, so it seems that Valkyrie's blood should come from his mother, thinking of this, Claudia suddenly recalled her childhood, but did not have any memories of her mother, and the servants in the castle did not know, she had asked her father twice, but her father did not answer her, but trained her to train more harshly. Since then, as her fear of her father has deepened, she has become more and more afraid to ask.

She had to find time to figure out what was going on with her mother, and she silently made up her mind.

At this moment, the door creaked open, and a middle-aged knight with some vicissitudes pushed the door and walked in.

"Uncle Rhine is good, you have a good rest, right?" Before Claudia could react, Paltris was the first to say hello sweetly.

"Uncle Rhein, long time no see."

Claudia also hurriedly said hello to Rhine, Sir Rhine is a good friend of the old Baron Thurberchel, and has been a guest in the old barony's domain many times before his death, including the old baron's dying will is also a witness he made, for Claudia he can be regarded as the closest elder in addition to his mentor Baron Tyrosus.

"When I heard the news of your return, I rushed over immediately, and it was good to see that you were okay, and it was okay to be fine." Rhine patted Claudia on the shoulder, took a closer look at Claudia's appearance to see if she was injured, and said repeatedly.

"Thank you, Uncle Rhein, for your concern." Claudia replied, and then the two exchanged a few polite words.

Suddenly, Claudia asked what was most important to her heart.

"Uncle Rhine, you have been a friend of my father for many years, what kind of person is my mother? My father never told me anything about my mother, and I wanted to know more about her. ”

"Well," Rhine looked thoughtful. "I don't know much about it, but I met your father in our early adventures, when he was just as bachelor as I was. Later, after the outbreak of the war, he has been working under Lord Lothar, and when we meet again in the decisive battle of Blackstone Mountain a few years later, he already has you and Partris, but he never mentions who his wife is, and your mentor, Baron Tyrosos, should know better, he is also under Lord Lothar, and has always been your father's comrade-in-arms. ”

"Huh? Father and mentor still have this relationship? Claudia looked surprised.

Rhine asked equally strangely, "Why don't you know?" It's possible that your father's foul temper didn't tell you, that guy from Tairosus doesn't look like such a sullen person. ”

Paltris said weakly beside her, "Father is obviously a good-natured man. ”

Rhine immediately smiled bitterly, but Claudia thought about it: "After the mentor learned the news of his father's death, he said that he and his father used to be comrades-in-arms, but he did not come to attend his father's funeral, I thought they were just ordinary comrades-in-arms of Black Stone Mountain. (Note: Because the Battle of Blackstone Mountain was a decisive battle, basically all the human warriors of the Alliance participated, and all the surviving Alliance soldiers after the battle called themselves "Sons of Lothar")

"Well, speaking of which, your father and I were only named nobles after the war, and Tairosos was born in a traditional aristocracy, and your father was a little --- and unsociable, and he didn't like to deal with nobles even more before that, and it is possible that they have a bad relationship." Rhine thought for a moment and said.

"That's not the case," Partris quickly argued. "After your departure last year, sister, on the day of mourning, Lord Tyrosos asked me to take him to my father's grave, and after sweeping my father's grave with me, he stood alone in front of the grave for an afternoon before leaving."

"Huh?"

"Really?"

Two cries of surprise rang out. Then Claudia and Rhine glanced at each other, and suddenly felt that the perception of someone in their hearts was subverted, and then Claudia was a little hungry, so she invited Rhine and the sisters and the bear to go to the restaurant for dinner.

Because of the repelling of natural disasters and the need to entertain reinforcements, today's dinner was extremely rich, with toasted slices sprinkled with chives and peppers, fresh smooth mackerel soup, golden roast goose, and even tender veal and juicy fruit. However, her sister Paltris only took half a slice of steak and a small bowl of fish soup with a little fruit, and the dining etiquette was meticulous, elegantly cutting the steak into a little bit of thin slices against the muscle texture, showing a ladylike demeanor.

After eating, Claudia found that there were many peeping eyes looking at the three of them and a bear group, most of them secretly looked at Partris with a look of admiration, a few of them were looking at Actulus curiously, and finally a few guys who looked like traditional nobles looked at her with some dissatisfaction, as if she felt that she had lost the face of the nobles, she suddenly blushed for a while, and made up her mind to pay attention to the impact in public in the future. However, people have been hungry for a long time, and the girl is a little aggrieved.

After the three of them had eaten and drunk, they chatted, and Rhine asked with some hesitation:

"Uh...... Count Fenris is not ......"

Speaking of this, Claudia immediately became a little depressed: "Yes, when I was in the Northern Rift, Jaime died in battle to protect me, and even after he died, he ......"

She suddenly couldn't speak.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention this," Rhein looked at her apologetically, and then added, "But if you see Count Fenris, don't leave your hand, he's no longer the fiancΓ© you know, and many of our brothers have suffered from these people who have risen again." Also, now that Count Fenris is gone, you'll have to reimagine your future. ”

"I'll take note of Jaime." Claudia thought back to the bloody and laughing figure, sighed, and then said leisurely, "What can I plan for the future?" If the Mentor doesn't make any additional arrangements, I'm going to take the people of the realm who are still alive with me to Stormwind and ask King Varian to take me in. ”

"Sister, take me with you, I don't want to be separated from you again." Paltris looked firmly at her sister.

"Well, okay, Lordaeron is too dangerous, now, let's go together then." Claudia readily agreed.

Rhine then also said: "Then count me as my family, my wife and son are on the nearby farm." ”

Claudia immediately welcomed: "Great, with Uncle Rhine joining, it can be a lot safer." ”

The trio then discussed some details.
