Stormstorm Fortress, Queen's Reception Room.

Claudia had a rare change of dress and was drinking tea with her sister and Segrina.

"Paltris has a new suitor?" Claudia took a sip of the Tranquility Flower Tea, which she had recently discovered to help her relax, "Isn't that normal?" My sister is not only noble, but also so beautiful, dignified and elegant. ”

As she finished her last sentence, Claudia winked at Paltris, who bowed her head in embarrassment.

Segrina cocked her index finger and swung it from side to side.

"But this time it's different, it's a duke who pursues little Paltris, the current duke, and the enthusiasm is the first time I've seen it even in so many years, and when I went out this morning, the door was almost full of roses, and I doubt that the entire roses in Stormwind City were contracted by him today."

"The current duke?" Claudia thought for a moment, then wondered, "Is it Duke Leskova?" But I remember he seems to have a fiancée, right? ”

Segrina shrugged, "Looks like his fiancée died in a recent attack by the Bloodsail Pirates?" Who knows, I don't like this duke anyway, although he hides it well, but the way he looks at Partris is full of naked ....... ”

"Cylie!" Partris interrupted her hired guard and friend in dissatisfaction, and Segrina could only spread her hands: "Okay, actually, what I want to say is, is there any way to make this duke more restrained?" ”

"According to local customs, I can't stop him as long as he doesn't break the rules," Claudia shook her head, and then asked Paltrius, "and, more importantly, what do you think of this duke?" ”

"I turned him down," Paltris said, helplessly, "but he's still pestering me." ”

Claudia frowned, but quickly relaxed: "Okay, Partris, let's put aside the matter of that duke for now, there are actually other things to let you come over this time, the Dawn Forest began to be shrouded in an abnormal darkness two days ago, Duke Eberlock once sent someone to ask for help from Stormwind City, but now there are only a few high-ranking priests in Stormwind City, so this time you and Sally will bring another paladin to help me investigate." ”

Paltris was a little surprised, but she reacted quickly, and from surprise to surprise, she got up and curtsey Claudia: "As you wish, Your Majesty." ”

Segrina also became excited, and patted Claudia on the shoulder with a smile: "That's right, I should have sent me some challenging tasks a long time ago, to be honest, my chest hurts when I shoot rabbits the most in the past three years in Stormwind City." ”

Claudia smiled and nodded, and then told her sister: "You go out on a mission this time, remember to listen to Seli, and you can bring this necklace." ”

"Thank you, sister." Partris took the necklace, and in the center of the necklace was a silver crystal with a tiny flame burning.

Claudia sent her elated sister and Segrina out of the queen's bedchamber, and then she returned to the reception room, watching her sister's back through the window.

Partris was undoubtedly happy, she was curious about the outside world, and although she was happy to follow the teachings of the Light to stay in church to serve or pray for the faithful, and her faith in the Light was far more devout than Claudia, a girl of her age was also looking forward to something else, such as adventure, or love.

This is also the intention of Claudia to let her sister go out on a mission, blindly raising her in a greenhouse is not the way, she is an adult after all, she needs to increase her experience through adventure, to understand the world more comprehensively, the world is not as simple as described in the canon after all.

As for the Duke of Leskova.

Claudia frowned, she didn't like the short breed to pursue her sister, but if there was really a short breed and her sister fell in love, as long as she could pass the character, Claudia had no intention of stopping her, and what kind of person was the new duke, Claudia felt that it was better to investigate carefully.

Do what you want, Claudia pulled a string.

But to Claudia's surprise, she waited outside the door for a while without responding, which was unusual.

Claudia's face turned cold, she picked up the thin sword that had accompanied her, and walked quickly towards the queen's guard room, and sure enough, when Claudia opened the door, it was empty.

And Claudia's worst fears did not happen, not far from the guard room, two royal knights were on duty at the gate of the dormitory, outside the dormitory, everything was as usual, only a little black-haired girl caught Claudia's attention.

This little girl was very beautiful, she was wearing black leather armor shorts and short sleeves, her white lotus arms and smooth slender legs were exposed, and two short daggers hung from her waist, but she was not as lively as a girl of her age, and at the moment she was sitting by the flower bed outside the door of the dormitory with her arms folded and her knees folded, sullen.

"Your Majesty." The two royal knights bowed to Claudia as she stepped out.

"Where's Fursser? Also Who is she? Claudia pointed to the little black-haired girl, who suddenly felt something, and turned her head to look at Claudia with a complicated light in her eyes.

Such a familiar face.

Claudia was a little puzzled, and at this time the royal knight had already answered Claudia's question: "Your Majesty, Lady Denev has just taken a little girl to fetch something, and as for this child, she came with the little girl. ”

A little girl again?

Claudia walked over to the little black-haired girl in front of her, who pursed her lips as she approached, her eyes still complicated, which made Claudia a little strange.

"Don't be nervous, tell me, what's your name?"

"The Nightingale has seen Your Majesty." The little girl bowed her head.

"Have we met?"

"Hmm." The nightingale replied in a low voice, and Claudia was even more strange in her heart, few agents or soldiers would have such an attitude towards her, but Claudia was soon drawn to another matter, and Verchsel led another crying little black-haired girl with a bunch of things.

The little girl was very pretty, and had a much more lively personality, and she did not recognize who Claudia was, but as soon as she put her things down, she hugged the nightingale, and began to cry:

"Nightingale...... Whining...... My guru is also dead, woo ....... ”

The nightingale hugged the little girl tightly, patting her gently on the back as she began to soothe her in clumsy language.

Claudia frowned, then stopped Verchsel from trying to interrupt the weeping little girl, and led him into the guard room.

"What did you just do? What's the deal with that little girl? ”

"Your Majesty, she is a new agent who has just returned from the trial this year, codenamed Hummingbird, her real name is Amber Gillney, and her mentor is Anna...... She came to fetch her mentor's relics. ”

Claudia was silent, she had already remembered that Anna, the personal agent responsible for protecting her children, had died at the hands of the Duke of Facurrest in the riot more than twenty days earlier, and had made a great contribution to the arrival of the Assassins before she died.

After a long time, Claudia sighed: "I lack a personal agent, you can talk to Madias when you finish your shift tonight, and let Amber come and serve me in the future." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Fursserl agreed.

Claudia doesn't have a personal agent now, and she doesn't actually need a personal agent to protect her, the reason why she wants Amber to serve is just to have a little girl to chat, run errands, and promote by the way.

A few days later, the Government Council.

Claudia finished her business and was in a daze.

The door was pushed open, and Gianna walked in.

"How?" Claudia poured two cups of tranquilizing flower tea with her own hands, handed Gianna one and asked.

Gianna took a sip of the glass and replied, "Although my father disagreed, the group of merchants who led the council was easily persuaded by me, and now the two sides are engaged in a war of words in the council, but it is expected that the council will win the final victory." ”

Claudia looked sympathetic: "I guess His Majesty Dalin must be very upset. ”

"Don't worry, I'm his most beloved daughter after all, I'll go to him in a few days to apologize, so that all the countries of our alliance have agreed to the treaty that guarantees the safety of the lives and property of the tribesmen in our territory."

"Actually, no," Claudia smiled wryly, "I failed." ”

Gianna looked at Claudia in amazement, as far as she knew, Claudia was in charge of lobbying for the new Lordaeron, and now the human regent of the new Lordaeron, Galaia Minethiel, didn't care about politics at all, and she went to persuade the undead regent Jaime Thean to fail?

Claudia spread her hands helplessly: "You don't know my former fiancé, he is a very assertive person, once he decides something, it is not at all something that outsiders can change, and one of the few obsessions he has after breaking free from the control of the Lich King is the tribe...... At this meeting, he was very resolute and did not negotiate. ”

Gianna asked tentatively, "Why does he have such a deep hatred for the tribe?" ”

Claudia sighed, "In the last war, the tribe destroyed his homeland, his father, mother, and two brothers all died under the tribe's butcher's knife, and he was the only male in the Sean family who survived. ”

Gianna was silent, and Claudia continued: "And you know, I owe him so much, I don't think that just passing a boy to him will repay his kindness to me, I always feel guilty about him, so ...... I'm sorry I failed. ”

Gianna understood what Claudia meant, and after a moment of thought, she laughed, "Well, there would be no Lordaeron without Lordaeron, just let the tribesmen be careful not to pass through Lordaeron's territory." ”

Claudia nodded, looked out the window and said, "Let's go and have dinner with the children, after dinner we have to rest early tonight, and we will explore the ruins tomorrow." ”

"Hmm."

Claudia pulled Gianna outside, and when she passed by the adjutant's office next to the government hall, Claudia told the officers inside: "Major Samuelson, I have something to go out tomorrow, and it is estimated that it will take a whole day, remember to inform Duke Grayson to take care of my official business." ”

The officer walked out and bowed: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Gianna on the side asked curiously, "Is one day enough?" ”

"I'm not sure," Claudia hesitated, "but it shouldn't be a problem to find an approximate location, there aren't many hills in the northern part of the Badlands, so we'll find another time." ”

Gianna's eyes showed anticipation: "Speaking of which, this is my first time on an expedition, Claudia, let Evelena help me get some exploration codex to study." ”

"Okay~!"

Claudia and Gianna chatted as they walked away, and Major Samuelson had a gleam in his eyes.

"Northern of the Badlands?"

Major Samuelson repeated in his heart that if he could make a meritorious service this time, his master would give him a considerable blessing.

Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on his face.
