Chapter 107: Claudia's Choice

With a heart full of holes, Claudia leaves the vortex of turmoil, and more importantly than the sins she has already committed against Partris, it is more important to save her other relatives.

Quite a little earlier than expected, just after midnight, Claudia managed to return to Stormwind, giving her more time to think about what to do.

And that's not the only good news, Claudia devoured the soul of a high-ranking demon lord during the subway battle, which not only increased her strength, but more importantly, the hunger in her body disappeared.

"How long will this soul satisfy my hunger?" Claudia asked.

‘…… In terms of human time, it's a week, and after that you need to eat at least one food a day from that loser, otherwise you'll already see the consequences......

Such a powerful soul can only satisfy the appetite for a week? No wonder Cthun was so sure that I would fall, and even if I were willing to eat only evil monsters, how could I find enough food for me to eat? Sooner or later, I will become a completely out-of-control monster like before, and sure enough, it is the best choice to find a place to commit suicide after arranging the aftermath......

A resolute look flashed in the girl's eyes, the world after death is terrifying, but it is nothing compared to some things, such as the sister who just hurt herself......

Thinking of this, Claudia's heart ached again.

As if sensing the thoughts in the girl's heart, the whisper of the void sounded again:

‘…… I suggest that you don't use death to escape your mission, of course, if you repeatedly refuse to cooperate with us, it's okay, but it's not just you who has this kind of bloodline, and compared to you, that girl just now doesn't have the Holy Pattern of Order to stay awake, and for example, your child, although the bloodline is a little thinner, it is the same after spending a little strength to purify and transform......

"Enough!"

Claudia's whispers were interrupted by a fury, her fists clenched in the face of such a naked threat, gritting her teeth in hatred, but helpless.

Family is Claudia's deathhole, and in her heart, her sister, children, and Varian are more important than her, and she will love them unreservedly.

Just as she would abandon the precepts of the Paladin for Gianna in the face of life and death, she would rather save her family than the whole world.

And this is the selfishness that belongs to Claudia.

‘…… Ah, our darling, we can show you the path that you can accept, the path that is good for you and your family......

"Like you just urged me to corrupt my sister?" The girl said hatefully.

‘…… It was just an accident just now, but as a sign of sincerity, we can still promise that we will never send any forces affiliated with our Void to corrupt or harm your blood relatives in any way, and in reality, even if that is done, there is no point in doing so, and the nutrition of those three wastes is only enough for one Fallen Demon to develop into adulthood......

After getting the promise, Claudia finally felt a little relieved, starting from the demigod level, as long as the promise is formalized, it is impossible to break the promise, this is an axiom, to be precise, you can't break the contract, because words have their own law effect.

‘…… And what we want is not to destroy the world, it is good for us and both of us to keep you awake, this is not as difficult as you think, Azeroth is special, so there will never be a shortage of monsters in this plane who want to destroy the world, you don't have to worry about not having enough evil prey to eat, presumably then you will be able to accept it morally......

‘…… I guess you've also discovered that after devouring that demon just now, you're one step closer to the growth stage, and when you enter the growth stage, your appetite will be greatly reduced, and even with the Holy Pattern of Order, you can suppress your appetite with your reason and live like a normal person......

……

In the murmur of the Void, Claudia gradually changed her initial state of complete resistance, and she planned to make peace with the Void for the time being, delaying the time, after all, there might be other ways than to break the net, such as the Holy Light, the Titan, or Elune.

It's just that my little sister must hate me to death now, how should I face her?

With all this to worry about, Claudia returned to the secret MI7 station, where Gianna, Madias, and others were waiting for her.

In the few hours since Claudia left, Gianna and Matthias have not done nothing, they have found Field Marshal Windthor who is still in Stormwind City, General Marcus Jonathan, who is in charge of the city's defenses, the royal knights who belong to the civilians, and scout the situation inside Stormwind Fortress.

Seeing Claudia wearing the iconic silver armor and carrying Sdomka, the general and the marshal had no doubt about Claudia's identity, and they stroked their chests and saluted, "I've seen Your Majesty." ”

Compared with the illusory future, it is more important to rescue Varian and the children in front of her, so Claudia quickly straightened her mind and nodded in return: "Marshal, general, it's good to see that you still made the right choice in such a dark moment. ”

General Marcus straightened up, stared at Claudia's eyes, and said with a burning gaze: "Your Majesty, Lady Prodymore has shown us all kinds of evidence and analyzed a lot of anomalies, and we also recognize this---"

Claudia shifted her gaze to Gianna, who smiled at her and nodded in response.

General Marcus continued: "However, this is only speculation about His Majesty's control, and more importantly, we need to know how you will treat His Majesty afterwards and what to do if His Majesty is unable to lift the control afterwards. ”

As the words fell, Marshal Wendsol looked at Claudia as well, apparently concerned about the answer to the question.

No matter how good Claudia's prestige is, these loyal soldiers to the king and the alliance have no reason not to doubt the purpose of Claudia's attack on Stormwind Fortress, and they can do whatever it takes for the king's benefit, but only if it is the king's interest.

Claudia laughed, and said with a smile: "Your loyalty is commendable, generals and marshals, do not worry, His Majesty is my husband, and I will defend his interests with my life, just like you."

I swear by me that after today's victory, whether or not His Majesty is removed from control, I will relinquish all my rights to all titles except the territory of Thirberchel, and to be the ordinary wife of Varianp. ”

General Marcus and Marshal Windsor looked at each other, and saw surprise in each other's eyes, Claudia's offer was much better than they expected, and it was clear that she was really not interested in power, and Gianna frowned:

"Claudia, you don't have to do this, just in case Varian hasn't ...... yet"

Claudia interrupted Gianna with a smile: "In that case, before Anduin comes of age, he will be temporarily regent by the Duke of Berval, presumably everyone will not have doubts about his loyalty, right?" ”

If Claudia had asked Duke Grayson to be regent, Windthor and Jonathan might have some doubts, but if it was Varian's hardcore Berval, the two of them would have no opinion, and they bowed their heads together and said in unison:

"In this case, we will follow Your Majesty and put Stormwind in order, and the First Legion (Stormwind City Defenses) will be at your will."

Claudia nodded, just now, she had figured out that with her current physical condition, it was impossible for her to continue to rule the country no matter what.

No matter how many reasons there are, no one will tolerate a shadow life to continue to sit on the throne and dictate to them, rather than end up in bloodshed or being ousted from power in embarrassment, it is better to take the initiative to let Xian go, so that it will look better on face.

Moreover, Claudia now had a faint thought in her mind, if Varian and the children were okay, it would be better for her to disappear herself before she could do so, for the sake of their happiness and reputation, which would be better for everyone.

If you continue to force themselves together, you will only hurt them.

Not to mention the terrible loss of control, even if the matter of her shadow life is too big, it will seriously hurt her relatives.

You know, in the eyes of most people, what is a monster child, not a monster?

On the contrary, if it is a child of a bright life, it will definitely be respected by the general public, right?

Claudia naturally understands this truth, so no matter how reluctant she is, she can only sigh secretly in her heart: "If Varian and the children are okay, then let the name Claudia become a good memory in everyone's hearts, not to mention that before my body is healed, I can still turn into a shadow and continue to protect them and this country." ”

Outside the physical universe, a fragment of consciousness suddenly flashed:

‘…… Shadow? Well, the more fools who believe in justice and sacrifice, the easier it is to be manipulated and bewitched......

Claudia didn't know what was happening outside the universe, and at this moment, she was discussing tactics with Wende Solgiana and the others based on the information she had received.

According to the information that has been obtained, the original royal knights guarding the Stormwind Fortress have been ordered by the king to take a three-month vacation, and instead the personal guards brought by Catlana and the nobles are guarding the fortress, and because of this, Claudia and her party can gather enough royal knights today.

Gianna was talking: "Time and surprise are our greatest strengths, and now that the Stormwind teleportation and the Ironforge subway are blocked, Katrana couldn't have imagined that we would return to the city on the third day after it would take at least a month to return to Stormwind, no matter what her plans were, she must not be ready for it now......"

"Ms. Prody Moore is right, but I have a little bit of my own opinion on the rescue plan......"

In your words, several Stormwind executives completed the whole plan, however, Claudia found that there was no room for her to participate in the whole plan.

Claudia glanced at Gianna, as if she knew what Claudia wanted to ask, Gianna's voice sounded in Claudia's heart through a psychic link: "Remember, Claudia, this matter is very important, I can somewhat guess what you looked like when you fought, so please be sure not to use any shadow-related power today, even if you are escaped by Onexia, it doesn't matter, once you expose the identity of the shadow creature in public, this matter will be very troublesome."

Your current appearance is no different from that of a human, and I didn't contact Duke Grayson and Archbishop Benedictas who are good at holy light today, so as long as you don't take the initiative to expose it, Wendthor and they will definitely not find out about your problem, and after rescuing Varian, I will take you to the Guardian Sanctuary to check the information and slowly help you find a way. ”

Claudia nodded gratefully, she naturally understood the consequences of revealing the identity of the shadow creature, but in order to be sure that the scene of Partris would not happen again, she promised: "Thank you, Gianna, I hereby promise that I will not take the initiative to reveal the shadow power and the identity of the shadow creature in front of the civilian soldiers of Stormwind City today." ”

Gianna, who had already touched the rules of the demigods, also knew the iron laws of the demigods, so she smiled at Claudia with confidence.

Soon after, at dawn, the plan to recapture Stormstorm, Varian, and the children was about to begin.
