After spending a pleasant breakfast time with the children, Claudia dragged Varian to the government chamber.

However, Varian sat for less than ten minutes before he wanted to leave, and he sneered:

"Yours to take care of these matters, Queen."

Claudia said helplessly, "Varian, are you so relieved?" This is your country, you don't have any memories of me now, and you even called me a witch last night, so you are not afraid......"

"Hahaha, what's so scary," Varian interrupted Claudia with a laugh, "I can't remember who you are, but I've heard about you over the years, and there's no doubt that if you manage my country well, then that's fine." ”

After hearing Varian's compliment, Claudia laughed as well.

However, after the laughter, she still persuaded her: "But Varian, I have promised to hand over the rights, at most a week or two, I will no longer be able to help you with government affairs, and then, what will you do?" I know the damage the Black Dragon Princess has done to you is not completely gone, but we have to try to know what you can do now, don't we? ”

Seeing Claudia's insistence, Varian scratched his head and sat down again, picked up a document called the Stormwind Kingdom Compulsory Education Act from the table, and looked at it.

This document is a plan prepared by Claudia after breaking the Molten Heart, and she intends to wait for the right time to come up and discuss the implementation.

The content of the document is also the same as the title, that is, the royal family will provide the first funds for the construction of 100 schools, and all school-age children in the kingdom will be forced to receive six years of compulsory education, but if the children miss school, parents will be fined between 3 and 7 copper coins per day, and at the same time, the kingdom will disband the fourth army, one of the three standing regiments, and use the saved funds to maintain the operation of those schools.

"Varian, what do you think of this document?"

"It's a bit too much money, do we have all this money in the royal family?" Varian asked.

"Yes," Claudia nodded, "when I broke through the Molten Heart, I seized a large number of high-quality cores, which were the private property of the royal family, enough to pay for the establishment of the school. ”

"Oh, that's no problem then."

After listening to Varian's answer, Claudia was a little disappointed and a little unwilling, and continued to ask:

"Varian, take a closer look at this document, is it really okay?"

After looking at it twice, Varian looked at it again and again, revealing an innocent expression: "I think it's really okay." ”

"Okay then."

Claudia sighed helplessly, if Varian couldn't recover like this, she would have to choose another regent.

As for the compulsory education bill, don't think about implementing it for the time being, what's the point of putting too much energy on this kind of thing before the arrival of the Burning Legion?

Varian didn't stay in the hall for long, as a large boar named 'Princess' had recently arrived on the farm in Alwyn's Forest, causing a lot of trouble for nearby farmers, and he took Anduin and a few royal knights to hunt wild boars, and invited Claudia to go with him before leaving.

Claudia refuses Varian's invitation, and she goes to Egwene's room, where Gianna is staying.

At this time, Gianna had just woken up and was eating snacks to satisfy her hunger, when she saw Claudia coming, she was concerned, "How are you?" ”

"It's okay, I'm fine." Claudia replied.

This is not consolation, after witnessing so many futures, after understanding her mission, she is no longer afraid, no longer confused, she does need redemption, but not now.

Claudia looked around the whole room, except for the bed, the whole room still retained the layout of Egwen's life, thinking of Egwen's sacrifice yesterday, Claudia couldn't help but feel a little bad, she sighed:

"Before yesterday, I never thought that the fate that Egwene was going to face would be death."

Referring to this issue, Gianna was obviously in a bad mood and said gloomily:

"I asked Egwen yesterday why she wanted to be a slave to fate, and she replied that only a coward can escape his fate, and that there is nothing nobler in the world than to practice fate in his own way, but what I don't understand is that if fate cannot be disobeyed, then what is the point of everything we do?"

If she hadn't seen so much of the future, Claudia would obviously have agreed with Gianna's words, and before yesterday, she didn't believe in fate or anything like that.

Now, however, it was Egwen's last words that struck a strong chord with her, yes, what could be more noble than to practice one's destiny in one's own way?

Claudia spoke, "No, Gianna, it is true that fate is not irreversible, but it would be a deviation from the right path.

Yesterday, Egwene could indeed turn around and leave at any time, but that meant that me, you, and many, many people and even the whole world would be the price for her to escape from fate, and in the eyes of the proud Egwene, such a choice was equivalent to nothing, so she would say that fate could not be disobeyed, so she said that only cowards would escape fate. ”

After listening to Claudia's explanation, Gianna was stunned and did not speak again for a long time, and Claudia was caught up in her own thoughts, and like Egwen, she did not intend to run away from the fate she saw.

The whispers of the void suddenly sounded:

‘…… Our darlings, do not believe the lies of the Light about fate, the Light is blind, they have formulated their destiny for all things in the world from the beginning, how is this not a kind of slavery? ……。 ’

‘…… What qualifications do they have to be so high and point fingers? Who has the right to force the universe to follow the path they have charted? What qualifies other paths as heresy? Even in order to maintain this path, they will not hesitate to destroy any life that deviates from the blueprint......

‘…… The failure of the Light has proven them wrong, and we alone are the future of this universe, and unlike the Light, we are exploring all paths at the same time, believing that each path has a value for existence......

Even if these paths imply distortion and despair?

Claudia didn't answer.

After understanding the nature of fate, she already has her own judgment about fate.

Yes, the Light is indeed blind.

They understood from the beginning what the most harmonious future of the universe should be, so what they need to do is to maintain the correctness of their fate as they see it, and to ensure that the universe does not deviate from the right path they have charted, and that there will indeed be killings as a last resort.

But in the eyes of the Light, it was all a necessary sacrifice to ensure the correct growth of the universe, similar to the problem of killing one person to save ninety-nine people.

And isn't the shadow blind too?

It is true that all paths have value to the Shadows, no matter how big or small the possibilities may be, but the Shadows' nature dictates that they especially favor the darkest and most distorted futures, and the futures they pursue are often filled with madness and despair to ordinary people.

For example, the future that the Shadow has shown to Claudia is the case, in which Claudia successfully corrupts Azeroth, and a powerful Dark Titan is born, and even Sargeras is no match for the New Titan.

After defeating the Burning Legion, one planet after another fell to the feet of the newborn Titans, and everywhere there were endless flesh and blood throats, dark and cold eyes, and dense tiny tentacles, and everywhere the surging shadows reached, all of them were covered by clouds of despair, and the entire universe would sink into darkness from now on.

This is the future that the Shadow wants Claudia to achieve.
