Chapter Eighty-Six: Cowardice
The first year after Kael'thas ruled Zuaman.
Sylvanas was promoted to Legend and Aurelia was promoted to Legend, and these two people relied on their already excellent combat exploits and their own superb strength. Successfully entered the management of Quel'Thalas, in charge of nearly half of the entire Quel'Thalas's Ranger troops, and is known as the two most dazzling female pearls of the High Elves for hundreds of years.
However, the two failed to attain lordship status and failed to enter the Supreme Council.
In May, a force of 500 men was formed, named 'Firewings', and allowed to serve as Kael'thas's private unit. In July, Sylvanas led the nascent unit to Zuaman for delivery, and the Firewings were involved in Zuaman's preparedness.
Sylvanas spent the night in Zuaman and sneaked into a room, but nothing unusual happened. After that, Kael'thas had 1 or 2 days of spring dreams every month, which made him very distressed.
In the same year, the social and cultural system of Zuaman began to transition to the society of the High Elves.
On the other side, the Stormwind Kingdom began a skirmish with the Orcs, whose strength was not really valued by the kingdom due to tactical control. At the same time, the leader of the Frostwolf Clan is killed, and the young clan prince Thrall is picked up by the slave owner and brought back to the human world, and the Frostwolf Clan continues to live in exile in Alterac.
At the end of the year, the human kingdom of Lordaeron celebrates the first birthday of their prince.
But at the very center of the ceremony, in Lordaeron's throne room, something happened that greatly affected the celebratory atmosphere.
"Father, you can't do this"
The human princess, who was about to turn 7 years old, Kalia Minethir, hid behind her mother and timidly said to the majestic Tyrenus of the king sitting on the throne.
Laughter erupted from all around, a majestic hall with a vault high and a circular room surrounded by arches and columns. There were many nobles standing nearby, watching with interest what was happening in the middle.
Their young princess, what was it that made her dare to rebel against her great father in public?
Although it is behind the queen's back
"Kalia, you are a princess, you should look like a princess, have you ever seen a princess running around with a sword?"
Terenus looked at his timid daughter and said coldly:
"A princess should learn the skills and temperament that a girl should have, learn etiquette and how to take care of the family, and then marry a nobleman or a king whom I recognize, and become a queen with the same culture as your mother."
Hearing these words, the surrounding nobles immediately understood. The little princess had been trying to learn the way of knighthood since she had been to Quel'Salas a year earlier, and it seemed that His Majesty did not like it.
"But I want to learn from knights."
Kalia argued, her words a little slurred. In fact, she wanted to refute her father's partiality, obviously he did not oppose his decision before the birth of his brother, but as soon as the Alsace brother was born, King Terenus rejected her actions on the grounds that girls do not need to learn to fight.
This is typical patriarchy
But Kalia was stared at by so many people, and in the end she didn't say these words.
This time, her mother's encouragement and desire to help her made Kalia stand up bravely. In fact, the little girl's heart was very afraid, and her feet under her skirt were trembling all the time.
"No, there's no need for that!"
Terenus refused.
"Your Majesty, will you give her a chance?"
Kalia's mother squeezed her daughter's hand helplessly, and said to help:
"I think you're wise, and Kalia insists like that, you should allow her to go her own way"
The human world is different from the world of the High Elves, and the view of female surnames is not very different from the feudal society of the previous life.
Therefore, only a few human heroes were women before, but there was a wonderful female surname that broke this territory before, and that was Egwene.
This strongest guardian of the human world (the previous one), although many ordinary people do not know about it, but the nobles have heard of it.
Her appearance changed the tide of the entire human world, allowing people to see the reality that female surnames are not worse than male surnames, and many female surnames who are unwilling to be ordinary have new dreams and will act for them.
In later generations, Gianna was influenced by Egwen's story and went to the road of becoming a ** teacher.
And Kalia's mother, a helpless human woman, was infinitely happy when she heard her daughter's dream of becoming a knight.
"If you want to be a knight, you have to have the spirit you should have, but"
King Terenus glanced at Kalia and shook his head lightly as she fled behind her mother:
"Kalia, you are cowardly and cowardly, even if you hide behind your mother, I can feel your trembling feet"
"These things, like most female surnames, are enough to prove that you don't have the ability to become a knight!"
As he spoke, the cold words pierced Kalia's young heart like arrows.
"Give up this unrealistic idea!"
Terenus's words were categorical, his eyes sharpened under his eyebrows, and no one in the entire throne hall dared to contradict his words.
"Whimper"
Kalia couldn't help but sob, she clutched her little head and crouched on the ground. In fact, she is not timid, but in front of so many people, what child can be bold?
The queen sighed
"Let's go, Kalia"
She picked up her daughter and walked outside.
"But, your majesty, why do you want Arthas to learn the way of knighthood? He's only a year old."
She stroked Kalia's head, then paused, turning her head to ask.
"Because he is the prince of Lordaeron, he has a mission to inherit the entire kingdom, and he must be a good enough person."
"Even if his surname doesn't match?"
“”
Terenus was silent, then replied heavily:
"The surname can be molded, and I believe that he will be a strong enough person!"
The queen smiled, did not speak, and walked out with Kalia
[In the final analysis, it's because you're a woman]
The queen looked at her daughter so sadly and thought that being a girl was her greatest misfortune. And isn't it enough to prove her courage that such a young child can dare to stand in front of everyone today?
"Do you hear that? Kalia, my child"
"Surnames can be shaped, and no one can stop you from doing what you want to do"
"Remember today's events and grow up"
"Knock this group of short-sighted men to the ground"
"Mom is waiting for this day"
After that, all the weapons around Kalia Minahir were taken from her, and she was placed in the ceremonial monastery of the nobles of the female surname, where she was imprisoned for several years, away from all professions.
