Chapter 55: The Best Wife
Three days later, tea time, Stormwind City Throne Hall.
"Your Majesty, go to the Molten Heart or something, take me one." The little princess hugged Claudia's arm and shook it vigorously.
Claudia was unmoved, she shook her head, "Tess, I've said it several times, no, no, no." ”
"Your Majesty, take me there, I will sneak, and I also have life-saving props on me, I promise that I won't cause you trouble."
Claudia was a little helpless, she explained: "Tess, the Molten Heart is not a place to make trouble, needless to say that you are an elite assassin, even an assassin of the level of Madias will not be of much use, not only can you not help, but even self-protection is a problem, many enemies in it will have a wide range of fire magic, there are flames everywhere, even if you sneak around, it is useless." ”
"Coco......" The little princess pursed her lips and looked at Claudia with a look of tears, she really wanted to take risks, the oldest flame demigods and the like sounded cool, but she also had to admit that Claudia also made sense, which made her a little frustrated.
In fact, it's not just assassins, most melee professions don't have a good way to face the monsters of the molten heart, take the lava giant as an example, any lava giant is seven or eight meters tall, and the body surface is still full of magma and flames, and it may explode when it is dying, which is not at all an existence that the melee profession can fight against, let alone the assassin, a profession that relies on a dagger and a short sword to kill with a fatal meal.
Seeing Tess's pitiful appearance, Claudia was a little helpless, and she comforted: "Okay, Tess, I'll bring you some elemental cores and other souvenirs when I come back, you should stay in Storm Fortress for a few days and have a good time with Anduin." ”
Claudia didn't mention this topic, but the little princess was already depressed when she mentioned it.
"Your Majesty, I don't even know what I can do with Anduin, he's not even ten years old, and he can't even ride a horse." The little princess complained with a look of grievance.
There's no reason Tess shouldn't be aggrieved.
Although she knew since she was a child that what would await her was a political marriage, when this moment was approaching, she still felt unacceptable as she liked freedom.
In Tess's original vision, her expected husband would be a hero in the Bard's mouth, like Ronin or Varian.
In her opinion, Anduin was only five or six years younger than her, and he was too weak in appearance, his complexion was fair, his facial features were beautiful, and his figure was slender and slender, and at first glance he would even mistake him for a little girl, completely different from the famous King Varian, who was known for his burly and majestic strength, and made her disillusioned with marriage for the most part.
After hearing Tess's assessment of Anduin, Claudia was not angry, she laughed.
"Okay, Tess, I've seen Anduin's riding skills, not as bad as you say, besides, since his riding skills are not as good as yours, then you can teach him these two days and ride with him, anyway, after a while, he will be your fiancé."
"I see, Your Majesty." The little princess replied so, but three words were written on her white and tender pretty face--- reluctantly.
"That's it, Tess, you can have a good time with Anduin these days, and I'll take you there when it's time for the battle against Angela later, okay?" Claudia laughed.
"That's it, Your Majesty, I will accompany Anduin to practice equestrianism during this time!" Tess jumped up with excitement as she hugged Claudia's arm, a smile on her face and two dimples at the corners of her mouth.
Tess knew that Angela was about to start a great battle, that the Alliance and the Horde would join forces against the Zerg, and that a powerful evil god would be able to join the war that was destined to go down in history.
The happy little princess jumped away like a lively deer, Claudia looked at her departing back, and there was a smile on her face, she liked Tess's simple personality very much, joy, anger and sorrow were on her face, and she never hid her true thoughts, which made her agree with this marriage contract a little.
This marriage contract was proposed by King Jean Greymane of the Kingdom of Gilne, and according to Gianna's analysis, King Jean should want to return to the alliance with the help of this marriage contract.
In Gianna's analysis, King Jean wants to return to the league for two reasons.
On the one hand, Jean withdrew from the alliance because of an irreconcilable conflict with King Terenus, the leader of the alliance, which no longer exists now that King Terenus is dead.
On the other hand, in the past two years, Gilne's country has not been peaceful, and rumors of werewolf plague have come from time to time, although Gianna does not know much about the situation in Gilne's country, but there is no doubt that Gilneth should be in trouble, which makes King Jean discover the importance of allies--- in the Lordaeron restoration war next to Gilneis, the alliance can show considerable strength.
In this case, it is not surprising that King Jean wants to tie Gilneth to the Kingdom of Stormwind with a suitable political policy.
Faced with the marriage contract proposed by the envoy, Claudia chose to accept it after thinking about it.
Gilneth was originally a member of the alliance, and although the experience of leaving the alliance was somewhat disgraceful, Gilneth withdrew from the alliance in peacetime, not wartime, and the nature of the two is fundamentally different.
Moreover, although Claudia had not met the princess at the time, from what Claudia had learned from the messenger, it seemed that the princess was the most suitable wife she could find for Anduin.
Princess Tess has a strong bloodline and a comparable family, and is a princess with the inheritance of the Kingdom of Gilness--- which is particularly rare, and it is very likely that Anduin may obtain the royal power of the Kingdom of Gilneth in the future, let the Kingdom of Stormwind and the Kingdom of Gilness establish joint rule, and even merge the Kingdom of Gilness into the Kingdom of Stormwind, there are too many similar examples in human history.
And in Claudia's opinion at the time, since Princess Tess was born in the royal family, she must also be a well-read and good-looking girl, and she should not be wronged by Anduin in these two aspects, as for Princess Tess who is five or six years older than Anduin, and things like a generation difference are not a matter at all in the eyes of Claudia and everyone.
In these years, few human nobles care about seniority, and age is not a problem, needless to say, they are only five or six years older, even if they are twenty-five or six years older, it is normal, take Claudia as an example, she is a full fourteen years younger than Varian, because there are actually very few nobles of the right age with the same bloodline, if you care too much about age, many noble families of human beings have long been extinct I don't know how many times.
Claudia was very happy after the marriage was roughly settled, and in her opinion she had found a great wife for Anduin, especially after meeting Tess in person, Claudia confirmed this.
She is beautiful, simple and lively, has a strong bloodline and has her own inheritance, where to find this kind of superb wife.
However, Claudia also has regrets, and Varian, who loves Anduin, was not able to be by her side to witness all this, which made Claudia feel a little sad.
