"Your Royal Highness Prince Arthas, I'm back!"
Anne Bonn stood in front of her desk, her voice crisp and loud. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Well, Brigadier Anne, this time to Stormwind...... See a statue of your father? ”
Arthas nodded, then asked; Of course, he knew the answer to the question, and even if she didn't do anything when she arrived in Stormwind, the first thing Anne Bonn would do was to visit the statue of her father.
"Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Alsace! Thank you so much, if it weren't for you and His Majesty the King, my father would ......"
Hearing Alsace's words, Anne Bonn became agitated and her tone became quicker.
In recognition of Anne Bonn and her men's efforts to save almost the entire Union navy from Palatine Bay, Arthas promised her to erect a statue in honor of her father, who died in the war.
After joining Lordaeron's navy, Anne Bonn told herself to repay the trust of His Royal Highness Prince Arthas.
Despite some rumors about her former pirate status, Anne Bonn had established herself in Lordaeron's navy thanks to Arthas's support and her own iron and blood skills.
During this time, Anne Bonn did not leave for Stormwind when the statue was completed, despite knowing that construction of her father's statue had begun.
Unlike a pirate, the Commodore of the Kingdom of Lordaeron doesn't have much time to leave his post without permission.
Arthas, of course, knew what Anne Bonn was thinking, so he gave the woman a chance.
The rebuilding of Stormwind is almost over, and it is time for the Lordaeron Artisans and Men who were sent to Stormwind to return.
With the exception of some Lordaeron people who volunteered to stay in Stormwind, most of the Artisans and Men who had helped aid Stormwind's construction chose to return.
Anne Bonn's navy had been traveling between the port of Stormwind and the town of Southsea for a long time, and each time, they would return with a shipload full of craftsmen to take them back to their homeland.
Before the last mission, Alsace approached Anne Bonn and asked her to lead the group herself.
At first, Anne Bonn didn't understand why, but she quickly understood what Alsace meant.
After a long journey at sea, she was so excited that when she arrived at the port of Stormwind, Anne Bonn didn't even have time to hand over to the Stormwind officer, but ran straight to the gates of Stormwind.
Even though she spent her childhood here, Anne Bonn was still a little unfamiliar with the rebuilt Stormwind City.
Thankfully, most of the neighborhoods hadn't changed much, and Anne Bonn managed to find the gates of Stormwind with some effort.
When she saw the huge stone statues more than ten meters high, Anne Bonn couldn't help but burst into tears.
It's been eight years since her father left, and even six years since she herself went from being a pirate to a commodore in Lordaeron.
Anne Bonn once thought she had matured a lot, and her shoulders were able to bear the trust of those she respected.
However, at this moment, Anne Bonn seems to have returned to the day when she was rescued from the sea by her father, who propped up a small boat in the rough waves and rescued herself from a near-death situation.
Fate always plays mercilessly on the world, making himself understand his father's love for him, but depriving himself of happiness after just a few months.
Time can dilute everything, but six years is undoubtedly a little short for the family relationship between father and daughter.
Standing beneath the statue of her father, looking at the words carved into the foundation stone of the statue recording her father's exploits, Anne Bonn cried as if she were a helpless child at the gates of Stormwind.
"Tasker, did you see that? These people are the heroes of Stormwind! It is thanks to them that we have been able to escape from the orc attack and have a chance to return to our homeland. ”
While Anne Bonn was crying, not far from her, there was a voice like this.
With tears in her eyes, Anne Bonn looked to the side at the statues, where a mother in a burlap dress was pulling a boy of six or seven years old, like Anne Bonn, looking up at the statues.
The statue is not only Anne Bonn's father, but also other seafarers who died and other soldiers who died in the war.
However, when it comes to statue groups, there are actually less than ten statues, and most of the warriors who sacrificed did not have such an opportunity.
The little boy looked as if he had been born after the war, sucking his thumb and beside his mother, he struggled to look up at the statues with a look of adoration in his eyes.
"Mom, when I grow up, I'm going to be a hero of Stormwind too!"
The little boy said excitedly.
"Got it, got it! Tasker is such a good kid, just like your grandfather......"
While stroking her son's head, the young mother left tears containing mixed emotions.
"This lady ...... Your father, too...... Is it in the middle of it? ”
When Anne Bonn heard this, her heart was shocked, and she couldn't help but walk up to the mother and son and asked.
"Are you...... Lord Lordaeron's Navy? ”
The mother did not answer Anne Bonn's question, but asked in surprise.
After the end of the war, there was so much communication between Lordaeron and Stormwind that even ordinary Stormwind civilians could tell the Allied navy in green uniforms.
"Yes, but at the same time, I'm also a Stormwind man. I just heard you say......"
Anne Bonn nodded, explaining who she was, and then hesitantly asked the mother about what she had said.
"Oh, that's right...... This child's grandfather, my father, was in that war...... sacrificed. I'm here today to show Tasker his grandfather. ”
Perhaps it was because it had been a long time, and the sadness on the mother's face was dissipating little by little, replaced by only the nostalgia for her father and the love for her son.
"I'm so sorry...... I can understand the feeling, my father, and he ...... But we're lucky, at least we can see our lost loved ones in these statues, aren't we? ”
Anne Bonn looked at the young mother, perhaps because life after the war was not easy, and her face looked noticeably older than her voice.
