Extra 40
"Well, don't mention it...... You don't know yet, Mr. Lothar, and Marlon will soon be back in the town of Nanhai, where they will prepare for war with the orcs, but they have decided to leave me here and not let me go with them...... What is the truth of this? I want to go to war, too! β
Varian? Frustrated, she couldn't eat her food, and he groaned loudly as he poked his fork around his plate.
"Is that so? That's terrible...... My father was the same, Varian, he wouldn't let me do anything, and once I was on the estate on Lake Lordamere and wanted to ride that beautiful pony, but my father said, ......"
Arthas seems to understand Varian well? In the current mood of Wrynn, he also dropped his food and echoed Varian? Ureon said.
β¦β¦
Just in Alsace and Varian? When the two of them vented their bitterness to each other and "confided" about each other's elders disciplining them, Marlon noticed that Kalia opposite him seemed to be a little wrong.
"Kalia, what's wrong with you?"
Marlon put down his knife and fork, swallowed the food in his mouth, and asked with concernβhe noticed that from the very beginning, Kalia had become a little lost.
"I ...... Malone, you're leaving? β
Kalia hesitated for a moment, then lowered her eyelids and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, according to Uncle Anduin's plan, we will soon be returning to Southsea - if the orcs are to continue their attack north, the Hillsbrad Hills must be their way through. We need to bring together soldiers from all countries. Familiarize them with each other and tell them some things to keep in mind when battling orcs...... It's not an easy job. β
Marlon shook his head exaggeratedly and said.
"You ...... Which day to go? β
Kalia asked again.
"Who knows...... Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow...... In short, the sooner the better. β
Malone pretended to shrug his shoulders lightly. He hadn't heard the loss in Kalia's tone.
"You...... Can't you stay? Just like Varian? β
Kalia finally raised her head, she stared at Marlon's face, her hands hidden under the dining table tightly clutched the hem of her milk-white palace dress, as if asking such a sentence almost made her faint.
"Stay? No, right...... Teacher Fao canonized me as a paladin, but he didn't let me stay in the rear of the battlefield...... Plus, Kalia you know. The next war with the orcs will be fierce, and I want to do my best to help Uncle Anduin, so ......"
Malone thought for a moment and replied.
"I don't know what war is. What battlefield, and I don't want to know. β
To Marlon's surprise, Kalia went against her usual gentle and quiet temperament, and interrupted her words a little unreasonably.
"This ......"
Malone glanced at Varian beside him with some embarrassment? Ureon. It was found that the latter was still complaining face-to-face with Alsace. And Kalia had been staring at her with blazing eyes, so she could only smile awkwardly.
"Sorry, Malone, I didn't mean that, I just...... Marlon, will you go out for a walk with me? β
Kalia also realized that there was something wrong with her tone, and she quickly apologized to Marlon, and then pleaded in a low voice.
"Now? Yes, yes. But I haven't finished my lunch yet......"
Malone said, looking at the half of the steak on his plate.
"It's okay, then wait until you're finished."
Kalia shook her head. Then he raised one arm and gently leaned it on the snow-white tablecloth of the table, holding his cheeks, and staring intently at the steak on Marlon's plate, as if this would make the large piece of half-burnt cooked meat disappear quickly.
Under the crystal Hao's wrists, the long sleeves of the light gauze palace dress worn by Kalia faded down like a tide, revealing the fair and pink skin on the forearm under the silk fabric-although the lighting in the restaurant was not very good, but for some reason, Malone suddenly had a dazzling feeling-Is it an illusion?
In addition to this strange feeling, Malone was really a little restless - being stared at by Kalia like this, although the other party did not urge him, there was an inexplicable tension permeating the dining table, and it seemed that even his teeth and jaw did not obey, and instinctively increased the speed of chewing.
"Alright, I'm done."
Wiped out the large steak on the plate by dividing it by two, and then stuffed two pieces of butter bread into his mouth, and swallowed it with water, and then Malone wiped his hands and mouth with a napkin, and said to Kalia.
"Hmmm! Then let's go! β
Kalia seemed pleased with Marlon Marley's speed, and she stood up, and a maid dragged her chair back, making room for free movement.
"Just the two of us?"
Malone sat in his chair and asked with some surprise.
"Of course! Any questions? β
Kalia's delicate eyebrows were raised, and she glanced at Arthas and Varian, who were still discussing with great interest how to resist the "tyranny/government/oppression/persecution" of their elders? Wrynn, then asked rhetorically.
"Well, no."
Malone shook his head, stood up, followed Kalia, and walked out of the restaurant.
After a while, Varian, immersed in sharing a similar experience with Arthas? Wryon was pulled back to reality by his growling belly, and then surprised to find that his best friend was gone.
"Huh? What about Malone? β
The prince of Stormwind grabbed a full glass of crimson wine, moistened his somewhat parched throat, and muttered to himself, confused.
β¦β¦
Malone was faced with an awkward situation at this time - walking down the corridor at the exit of the restaurant to the beautiful garden in the palace of Lordaeron, Kalia did not take the step into the garden, but moved closer to herself, and then raised her arm slightly.
"What's wrong, Malone? In Lordaeron, as a gentleman, you have to hold the other person's arm when walking with a lady...... Isn't there such a etiquette in Stormwind? β
Kalia smiled meaninglessly on her lips, and she said in a tone that seemed like annoyance, as if she were coquettish.
"I'm not very clear about etiquette, but since Kalia you said so, okay......"
Malone reluctantly crossed his right arm, allowing Kalia's slender little arm to pass through the crook of his arm and hold him together.
"That's right."
Kalia nodded with satisfaction, the smile on her face widened, like a general who had won a battle, her head was held high, her chest was straight, she tugged at Marlon's arm slightly, and led him briskly towards the garden. (To be continued.) )
