More than 10 years ago......

"Prince of Arthas?!"

"Thank goodness and begging you, you are our only hope! A group of gnolls have kidnapped little Timmy, can you go and save him? ”

It all started in a small town called Steinbled in the Kingdom of Lundane Lun.

……

As the situation worsens due to the orc slave revolt in the southern part of the kingdom of Lordaeron (linked to Thrall's rise), the Terran Alliance has decided to resort to a last resort - suppression!

Although King Terenus Minahir was a good man, it was because of his decision that the Alliance did not execute a large number of orc captives. But that doesn't mean he allows orcs to wreak havoc on his land and kill his people.

King Terenus sent the kingdom's best paladin, Uther Lightbringer, as his commander to end the crisis.

Oh...... And, of course, King Terenas's proudest son, Arthas Minethir.

Even Uther, who was notoriously strict, was full of praise for the young prince who had completed his paladin course with him. King Terenus is confident that Arthas, like his brother-in-law Varian Wrynn, will become the new pride of the Terran Alliance.

And Arthas does have the ability to be trusted, humility, integrity, mercy, bravery, justice, sacrifice, honor, soul, the qualities that a paladin should have are all manifested in him, and Arthas is also gifted and intelligent, if you insist on finding faults, there is probably a little bit of pride, a little fault of young people.

Almost everyone believed that in the future, he would inevitably take the kingdom of Lordaeron to a new peak.

Except, far away in the ice of the Norrend continent...... The Lich King.

……

"Welcome, Prince of Arthas, my men are proud of your presence."

"Don't be informal, Mentor Uther, you're kidding again. I'm not a king yet. ”

"Haha, young man, this is sincere, and I'm glad that King Terenus was able to send you to help me."

"Father still hopes that your patience and experience will influence me."

"Every father has the right to dream, doesn't he? Hahaha......"

“……”

"The sentinel confirmed that behind the ridge ahead, there was an orc camp."

"Well, as I suspected."

"It could have been even worse, they seemed to want to attack the small town next door, Stannbrad, which as I understand is almost completely defenseless."

"Hmm...... Arthas, I'm going to the orc camp right now, can you solve the defense of Steinbrad? ”

"Of course, Mentor Uther, don't worry about me. I will not let my people down. ”

"Good! Once you've solved the town's problems, join me at the orc camp right away. Be careful, Alsace. ”

So Arthas and Uther split up, and Arthas marched towards Steinbrad with his men.

In the village in front of Steinbled, Alsace was recognized by the villagers.

Farmer: "Who do I see?" Prince of Arthas! Welcome back to our town. ”

Stephanie: "Hello, sir! Maria...... Don't hide, it's the Prince of Alsace that you admire the most. ”

Under Arthas's curious gaze, a delicate girl walked out behind Stephanie.

Maria: "Hello ......"

Arthas smiled warmly at Maria, causing the girl to run away blushing and shyly.

What a nice town......

Walking to the blacksmith shop, the blacksmith Si Rongbai came up to him and asked, "Prince Arthas, is there anything we can do to help you?" ”

Alsace wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he said, "Perhaps, I need a few guides." ”

Si Rongbai: "You want it." Lads, take up your swords for our Lordaeron. ”

Alsace couldn't help but smile and shake his head when he looked at these enthusiastic villagers, but he was still happy in his heart.

Likeness and trust fill Alsace's heart with glory.

At this moment, a woman of about thirty years old hurriedly ran over, shouting Si Rongbai's name all the way.

Si Rongbai replied loudly in confusion, "Alicia, what's wrong?" ”

Alicia was about to reply, but she saw Arthas standing next to Si Rongbai, and was immediately stunned for a moment, and then shouted in surprise,

"Prince of Arthas?!"

……

"Gnolls, huh...... How dare you take children captive on my land! ”

Arthas felt angry for the first time, accustomed to people's warm smiles, and Alicia's anxious look made Arthas more and more concerned.

"Uh-huh......"

Srongbai immediately said, "Prince Arthas, this is the cry of the gnolls!" And ......"

A faint cry, "Woo help...... I won't go to the forest alone again, Mom! Woowoo...... I want to go home......"

"It's Timmy's voice!"

Arthas immediately decided: "Warriors, the time has come to show your bravery!" Kill! ”

……

Opening the cage, Arthas saw little Timmy with a tearful nose and red eyes.

"Don't Eat My ......"

Little Timmy's weak voice made the soldiers on the side cry and laugh.

Si Rongbai scolded with a smile: "Little Timmy, stinky cub! Look clearly, this is the Prince of Arthas, he saved you! Rest assured, with the Prince of Alsace here, no one here will dare to bully you anymore. The Prince of Arthas will never hurt you. ”

Little Timmy finally recognized Srongbai, nodded in disbelief, and then looked at Arthas with pure eyes, "Alsa......"

"Just call me big brother." Arthas smiled and touched Timmy's head.

Little Timmy happily responded, "Hmm! Big brother, that ...... You're really never going to hurt me? ”

"Rest assured, never!"

Arthas replied reverently, though only a child, that it was his first promise to his people. Arthas uttered this in all his glory.

"Great! You can't spank me like Aunt Alicia either......"

"Hahaha......" everyone laughed again.

"Little Timmy!"

"Ahh Aunt Alicia...... Ah, and Sister Maria! Big brother, you can't pull my ears all day like Sister Maria......"

This made Maria so anxious that she was ashamed and angry, and quickly pulled little Timmy over.

Timmie Jr.: "Goodbye big brother...... Ah yes, this guardian ring, Aunt Alicia gave it to me before, and now I'm giving it to you. Big brother, thank you for saving me. ”

Looking at the low-level guardian ring with armor +1 that little Timmy put on his hand, Arthas's expression was a little serious, but he didn't dislike it in the slightest, but took it very carefully and put it on his hand.

Taking off the Ring of Superiority, Arthas gently tied it around Timmy's neck like the Guardian Ring before.

"Little Timmy, this big brother is for you."

"Wow, what a beautiful ring, made of copper?"

"Silly boy! Thank you Prince Alsace! ”

"Ah, thank you...... Thank you big brother! Big brother, you have to remember the promise you made to me~"

Arthas nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'll never hurt you, ever." ”

"Hmm!"

……

Without wasting much time, Arthas continued his mission and headed straight to the centre of Steinbled.

However, at this moment, Alsace's heart is warm and fulfilling, and the whole person is much more confident.

Cute little guys.

Hope to see little Timmy again next time I come here. Next time we meet, little Timmy should have grown up a lot, haha......

The next time we meet, little Timmy has turned into a ghoul.
