The next morning, while Thassarian was feeding the horses in the stable, William suddenly ran over. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Morning! William, you came here early in the morning, is there something urgent? Noticing William's arrival, Thassarian put down his work and turned to his little friend.

"You'll never guess what news I brought you!" William said breathlessly, obviously he came all the way from a long distance, but seeing that he can still sell the guanzi, it is obviously not bad news that William brought it.

"What's the news? Are you getting married? Thassarian's mother, Vivian, was passing by, and she asked with a smile.

"Don't do that, Aunt Vivien! My mother is already annoying me every day, so don't bully me, okay? William looked depressed, and it was clear that Vivien's words had reminded him of something bad.

"Don't sell it, what the hell is going on?" Thassarian was not in the mood to joke, he had already vaguely guessed that the news brought by William was probably some sudden mission of the Third Legion.

"The Prince of Arthas will represent the King on a diplomatic visit to Dalaran, and our Third Legion will send elite warriors as the Prince's Guard, and I have been chosen, and so have you! We will follow the prince to Dalaran. William said loudly, his face excited, after all, being selected to be the prince's guard was obviously an affirmation of their strength and loyalty.

"The captain has asked me to inform you that you will have a morning to pack up, and in the afternoon you will go to the barracks to report, wait for the summons of the Prince of Arthas, and go to Dalaran together!" William looked at the shocked expressions of everyone present with great satisfaction, and then said to Thassarian that this was the main task of his coming.

"Strange, isn't this the Janissary always in charge of this kind of thing? Why was it assigned to the head of your Third Legion? Vivien, as Killoren's wife, was not ignorant of the affairs of the army, and she knew very well that this so-called prince's guard was actually a guard of honor, and the Praetorian Guard was always in charge.

The recruitment criteria of the Praetorian Guard are to choose tall and handsome noble children, but they do not pay much attention to combat effectiveness, after all, their main job is to show the image of the Lordaeron Kingdom to the outside world, and they do not really want to protect anything.

"Who knows? But this is an opportunity, if we can get the appreciation of the Prince of Arthas, maybe we can save more than ten years of hard work and become a real knight directly! William didn't seem to care about Vivien's question, he didn't care what he had to do, as long as the task gave him a chance to gain the prince's appreciation.

"Wait a minute, I remember that the Prince of Arthas is only coming of age now? Does he really have the right to be a knight? Thassarian shook his head and asked, he didn't want to pour cold water on William, but William, who had fallen into delusion, obviously needed to sober up.

"Well, anyway, even if there is only a one percent chance, I will never let it go, I have to go back and prepare, see you in the barracks!" William said goodbye to Thassarian with some embarrassment, and then he remembered that he needed to go home and get his luggage ready.

"Are you really going to take on this task? My child, I think this mission is a bit unusual, maybe I should go to your father's friends and ask them to help......" Vivien thought about it, and felt that something was not right, this guard was definitely not a guard of honor, but more like some other secret mission, and this kind of secret mission also meant danger.

"No, Mom, I'm a soldier, since I've been tasked with it, there's only one choice, and I think if my father were here, he would definitely support my choice." Thassarian interrupted Vivien with a shake of his head, remembering his father, Killoren, who had taught him that soldiers made obedience their duty.

"There are countless soldiers in the kingdom of Lordaeron, but I only have you and your sister, do you know how I was scared during your father's absence? If you leave again, I really don't know how to live my life. Vivien was in tears trying to convince Thassarian to change her mind that she wanted her children to live their lives in peace.

But at this time, Sassarian's heart was already occupied by duty, and he couldn't tolerate family affection at all, so in the face of Vivian's tearful persuasion, Sassarian finally shook his head with difficulty, and the disappointed Vivian had to hide her face and cry bitterly, she cried all the way back to the hut, leaving only Sassarian and Leresa who heard the noise.

"Take care of your mother for me, Reressa, and take care of yourself!" Thassarian had no choice but to explain what had just happened to Reressa, who looked confused and at a loss, and at the same time, Thassarian asked Reresa very seriously to take good care of Vivien during the time he was away.

"You too, be careful, we'll wait for you to come back as we waited for our father." Reresa also had a worried look on her face when she heard that Thassarian was about to leave home, but she was obviously calmer than Vivien, perhaps because she was too young to know the dangers of the job Thassarian was about to face.

"Don't worry, both my father and I will definitely return home safely." With that, Thassarian tidied up the stables a little, and began to pack his luggage.

This lunch was particularly dull, although Vivian cooked a hearty meal for Sassarian who was about to leave the house according to tradition, but watching her wipe the corners of her eyes with a napkin after two bites, you knew how reluctant she was in her heart, and was infected by Vivian, both Sassarian and Reresa were a little unate.

"I'm sorry, Mother, but you all know that I don't have a choice." Thassarian couldn't stand the heavy atmosphere and apologized to his mother, worried about Vivien's mood, especially as he was about to leave home on a mission.

"Your father said the same thing, when he was gone! I know it's going to turn out that you can't avoid it as long as you're in the army, but sometimes I really wish your father were just an ordinary peasant! Vivien put down her knife and fork and covered her face with her hands, but tears continued to drip from her fingers, and Thassarian reminded her of Killoren, who was on the front line, and because of the lack of communication, no news had been sent back home for several years.
