When Malone stepped into Vera's house again, he felt like home for the first time - I don't know when it started, he had forgotten where he came from, and he had a strong sense of belonging to this world. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although he hadn't lived in this house for too long, Marlon had a very familiar feeling when he saw everything in the house; He glanced around the living room, then walked up the stairs to the second floor.

The old wooden ladder still creaked, and Malone took three steps and two steps to the second floor, and then pushed open the door of his bedroom.

Althea was sitting on Marlon's bed, with her back to the door; The sound of the door opening was especially evident in the silence of the room, and Althea's slightly trembling shoulders froze, apparently knowing that someone had entered.

But Althea didn't look back - even standing in the doorway, Marlon could hear the girl's suppressed sobs.

Malone glanced at the facilities in the room - he could see that the room had been cleaned without touching it himself - maybe Vera, maybe Althee, maybe the two of them together, maybe the sensible Maria would help......

Thinking of these names, a warmth rose in Marlon's heart - he would not allow these people to be harmed, not even himself.

"Althea, I'm coming."

Marlon walked to the side of the bed, he removed his armor, rested on the ground, revealing a muscular figure wearing only a shirt, and then sat down gently beside Althea.

"I hear you!"

Althea replied in a low voice, her tone rather resentful.

"Well, then what? Won't you turn around and look at me? ”

Malone teased with a smile - it was the first time he had heard the lively Althea speak in such a tone, and even though he knew it was all his own, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

"See what you do? You...... You're going to find your Miss Tiffany! ”

Althea finally turned her head, her face stained with tears, crying like a little cat--the girl said angrily at Marlone's teasing.

"I'm not going to look for Tiffany, I'm just going to have Althea."

Malone reached out and wiped Althea's face, wiped away the tears from her cheeks, and then said affectionately.

"Really?"

Althea did take the bait, she stared into Marlon's face and asked with tears in her eyes.

"Of course! Altea, you don't know, this time in the Western Wilderness, we met the orc army head-on, and there was a fierce battle, and many people died...... There are the militia of Nighttown, the garrison of Westspring, and the soldiers of the western wilderness...... The battle lasted for hours, and on the battlefield, apart from the enemies, I thought of you the most......"

Marlon grabbed one of Althea's small hands, put it in his palm, squeezed it gently, and then looked into her eyes and said.

"What? Marlon, did you fight with the orcs? That...... So you're not hurt, are you? ”

When Althea heard the news, she became nervous all of a sudden, forgetting to be angry with Malone, and she anxiously searched Marlon's body, trying to make sure that her lover was unscathed.

"Well, I'm not hurt, but Paul got his leg cut by an orc axe."

Ma Long hurriedly explained.

"Whew...... Then I'm relieved...... Didn't I tell you when you left? When you are on the battlefield, concentrate on the battle and don't think about it...... Think of some messy things! ”

Althea breathed a sigh of relief, then pounded Marlon's chest with her small fist, blushing and said angrily.

"Think how can you call it a 'mess' thing?"

Malone said sensitively.

"Don't say that...... Such a shameful word! Then I ask you...... That Tiffany...... Miss Tiffany, what the hell is going on? ”

Althea was almost fooled by Ma Long's love words, but at the critical moment, she still came back to her senses, biting her lip and questioning Ma Long.

"Hmm...... Tiffany's words...... Her situation is more complicated, that ...... She was indeed my fiancée, my uncle had been married to her father, the Earl of Langton, but ......"

Malone knew that he couldn't get around this level, and he could only recount his troublesome relationship with Tiffany in as calm a tone as possible.

"She's really your fiancée! You...... Marlon, you've gone too far! Obviously I have a fiancée, why ...... Why are you still ...... with me? Woohoo......"

Althea heard the last thing she wanted to hear from Marlon's mouth, and she panicked all of a sudden, desperately trying to pull her hand out of Marlon's palm, and at the same time covered her mouth with her other hand, and tears were still in her eyes.

"Althea, you listen to me, listen to me...... Tiffany is my uncle's fiancée, but that's all, you know? I don't have any affection for her, it's you who I like, Altea! ”

In order to avoid hurting Althea, who was struggling wildly, Malone let go of her hand, then gently held her shoulder and said loudly.

"Huh? What does that mean? ”

Althea raised her head, looked at Marlon in a daze, and asked in confusion.

"That's what I mean...... Even though Tiffany is my fiancée, I have no plans to marry her! I'm not going to marry her, understand? ”

Malone said to Althea seriously.

"Yes...... Is it because there is a war going on now? ”

Althea thought her head was messing up, and she said in a daze.

"No, it's because of you, Althea, that I'll only marry you."

Malone said firmly.

"Knot...... Tie the knot? And me? But...... But what about Miss Tiffany? ”

Malone's words made Althea feel a little relieved, but she quickly became worried again.

"I haven't figured it out yet...... The idea for the time being is that when we retake Stormwind and my uncle and Tiffany's father return from the north, I'll explain the whole thing to them and ask them to cancel the business. ”

Marlon shook his head a little distressedly, and then said.

"That'...... How's that going to work? Marshal Lothar...... You're going to be angry, right? ”

Althea asked worriedly.

"Maybe, maybe not...... My uncle loves me very much, and if he knew that I had chosen you over Althea to be his nephew, he would have understood us. ”

Marlon said yes - he certainly didn't know what Anduin Lothar would think of this, but that would happen in a few years, and it was important to appease the current Althea first.
