After the meeting, the ministers left one after another to go about their work, and each of them had a lot of his own business to attend to.

Claudia and Varian also returned to the place where they were on business, not exactly the same room, but separated, the adjutant's room was on the outer level of the king's room, and the outside information and documents would be collected to the adjutant, and then the adjutant would sort it out and send it to the king's room on the inner level for review.

Claudia first sent someone to the Mage's Tower to reply to Dalaran according to the instructions of the king's previous meeting, and then sorted out the contents of the morning meeting a little, and then she was a little tired, so she took a glass of water and went to the window to look out of the window.

The glass reflects the silhouette of the girl holding the cup, following the morning, Claudia was amazed by her figure in military uniform again, this set of clothes and her temperament and figure are unusually fitting, the blue military uniform will set off her graceful and beautiful figure is extremely pretty, faintly revealing a trace of sassy heroism.

Maybe I'm fit to wear this uniform and work in an office?

Claudia thought while looking at her silhouette, she had always known that she would never be as elegant and dignified as those noble ladies in the evaluation of mainstream aesthetics.

Sometimes Paltris's help in dressing her up was just that she didn't see much of a problem with her appearance, and after a long time the relationship would reveal all kinds of details, which was one of the reasons why Claudia left quickly after finishing her business at the Earl's banquet that day, she was really not used to being with the nobles or other noble ladies, and she did not understand the topics they discussed at all.

Then, Claudia remembered that she attended a banquet with the handsome Jaime Sheen and was secretly ridiculed by the other noble ladies, it was really difficult for him at that time, thinking of this, she thought of Count Fenris again, I wonder if Jaime was out of the Lich King's control at this time, even if he was out of the Lich King's grasp, where could he go? There is no place in this world for these people who have been forced to fall.

Claudia's feelings for Jaime Sheen are complicated, after her soul merges, the male part has only guilt in Jaime's mind, and the female part has some large part of dependence in addition to guilt.

After the slaughter of Stratholme, Jaime rushed to her side as quickly as he could, comforting the girl who was severely traumatized by the forced massacre of civilians, and it was then that Claudia no longer rejected the man who forced the girl to marry him by dishonorable means, and later in the endless ice field of despair in the North Rift, the girl who had nothing to rely on was even more dependent on him.

But is guilt and dependence love? Claudia didn't know, neither the male part nor the female part of her could answer that.

Claudia liked her current work as an aide-de-camp, she had helped her mentor Tyrosus with many similar duties in the past, but this time she was just going back to her old job, which was more mundane and busy, but her family and people were protected, and she could still assist the king and help more commoners.

Claudia didn't like the days when she had to fight for herself and her people after returning to Lordaeron, she didn't like fighting, and as the Silver Hand said of her, she was never a warrior psychologically.

The kind of life with all the burden on her shoulders made Claudia a little breathless, and she couldn't sleep every night, and the first thing she thought about when she woke up in the morning was how to find a way out for Partris and her people, if she had a choice, Claudia never wanted to carry that burden, but if even she evaded her responsibilities, who could take care of them?

Claudia always remembered the promise she made when her father was dying, that she would try to be a good lord and take care of Paltris at all costs.

The door was opened, and a guard stood in the doorway with a letter in his hand, Claudia quickly put down her cup and sat back at the table, the guard saluted and handed over a military letter with a pale yellow glow of magic, the color of the magic letter from yellow to red marked the degree of urgency, the redder the more urgent the military situation.

Claudia took a brief look, and inside was a message sent by Marshal Garishers of Lordaeron asking for assistance, and Lordaeron currently has many cities and territories that are resisting, such as the Grand Lord of the Hearthvale Tyranfudin, the city of Tyr in the Land of East Orogen, and the Marshal of Garrissus in the north of Alterac, among which the strongest military is Marshal Garriss.

After Claudia finished taking notes, she hurriedly sent the letter into King Varian's room, and at this time Varian was looking at the map between Hillsbrad and Stormwind on the table, and when she saw the letter in the girl's hand, she quickly opened it, looked at it briefly, and put it aside after a little thought.

Claudia was about to turn away when King Varian suddenly called out to her:

"Claudia, what do you think?"

Claudia was not very prepared for the king's question, and according to the rules, the duties of the lieutenants did not include interfering in the affairs of the government, they were merely assistants, responsible for conveying the king's will.

Claudia hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"Your Majesty, the decisions of government affairs are usually a matter for ministers, but if you want to hear it, I can start with a story that my history teacher once told me--。"

Varian immediately had an interested look on his face

"You've also studied history? Let's hear it. ”

Claudia's crisp voice rang out: "I remember my teacher once told me that more than ten years ago, when it came to establishing an alliance, Lordaeron's ministers also had a heated debate on whether to form an alliance or to support other countries far away. ”

"A large number of ministers believe that there is no reason to waste the national power of their own citizens for the sake of a country far to the south, and that they just need to guard their own borders."

"At that time, King Terenus suppressed the opposition of his ministers and said, 'If we do not help our brotherly nations, then when they are destroyed, there will be no one to help us.'"

"Later, when Quel'Thallas went to ask King Terenus for help, King Terenus once again sent half of the Alliance's forces to Quel'Thallas for the same reason."

King Varian listened to these familiar events with a contemplative look on his face, and the maiden continued:

"I remember another thing, Duke Visak once said this about the Elven Kingdom in the morning, if it weren't for Quel'Thalas sitting back and watching the destruction of Lordaeron, they wouldn't be facing today's predicament."

King Varian pondered for a while, then looked at the girl in front of him and said with satisfaction, "I see what you mean, Claudia, you have a very good teacher, and I will discuss this issue with the ministers tomorrow." ”

Claudia then retired, returned to her place, and went about her business.

Towards noon, King Varian got up from his position and went out to dine with Claudia, not exceptionally, the lieutenants were his closest assistants, and he usually dined with the lieutenants or Prince Anduin when there were no guests.

Varian pushed open the door and found Claudia still sitting at the table with a pen writing something, the golden sun shining on the girl's side face.

So beautiful, he didn't immediately arouse Claudia, but admired it in his heart.

This is by no means an admiration for her appearance, in fact, as a king, Varian has seen so many beautiful aristocratic girls, compared to their exquisite makeup and seductive charm, Claudia's appearance can only be regarded as a very ordinary level, and even if she were thrown into a group of noble girls, she would definitely be the most inconspicuous one.

But she was so different from the aristocratic girls, who talked about hunting, balls, and art every time they met the king, and it was the first time that Varian had seen a noble girl who knew history and politics.

Not to mention, when he first met Claudia, the girl had given him a big surprise: she dared to enter the palace alone for the people's life, and even fought with Bolval, and when she finally faced the king, she was able to say her mission without humility or arrogance, this kind of girl, Varian also saw for the first time.

Varian originally thought that a beautiful woman should be as dignified and virtuous as his former queen Tiffany; Or like the Countess of Catlana he had ever met, sensual and colorful; But Claudia, who found in a girl a feminine beauty that he had never found before, independent, strong, and intelligent.

At this moment, the girl under the sun, like a brilliant diamond, exudes dazzling light and shines.

Of course, Varian only admired her beauty, and since he was a child, he has always been a strict and self-disciplined person, and he will never think about anything else just because of appreciation.

Claudia looked up to notice the King's arrival, and as she got up to gather her papers, Varian spoke.

"Come, it's time, Claudia, let's go to dinner together."

"My pleasure, Your Majesty."

On the way back after lunch, Claudia noticed that Varian was a little out of spirits and asked:

"Your Majesty, do you need to take a break?"

"It's okay, it's been many years, and there are always times when you don't have a good night's rest."

Varian then brought up one more matter: "When Devin arrives, you will hand over the work at hand to him, and in the afternoon your important task is to meet the envoy of Kul Tiras, Her Highness Gianna." ”

Jaina? Claudia is no stranger to her, and Gianna was the brightest jewel in the army when she followed Arthas in the army.

Claudia immediately agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
