Chapter 13: Cuong
Kael'thas walked out of Taqueline with the order book, and he saw Aurelia Windranger and her Ranger team waiting for him at the door.
This is indeed a charming woman who can faint, her slender figure is delicate and muscular, just like her slender body. She was covered in the green of the forest or the brown of oak, with a light armor over her shirt, shorts, a hooded cloak thrown behind her, and a pair of leather gloves that wrapped around her elbow-down arms like boots that protected her knees. A rapier hung from her hip on one side, a small bag and horn on the other, and behind her she carried a longbow and a full quiver.
The High Elf Ranger's standard equipment combines strength and grace with Aurelia at the same time, just like her future queen sister.
"You already knew, didn't you?"
Kael'thas shook the command book in his hand and asked with a strange expression. The order placed him under Aurelia's men, but Aurelia didn't seem surprised!
"I am good friends with His Highness Kaelsala." Aurelia sat down on the chocobo, tugging at the reins and pursing her lips and smiling, her answer unraveling Kael'thas at the same time.
Kylesara is not worried about his safety......
This made Kael'thas a little helpless, but had to accept it. In fact, even if Kael'thas didn't do this, he wouldn't have been sent to a dangerous place, and why, because his surname was 'Chaser' - the High Elf royal family.
The High Elves are a relatively egalitarian society, and it also has its own aristocratic class. However, each nobleman was no different from the commoner at first, in fact, all the nobles gradually rose from the commoner to rely on their military contributions, etc., and their children generally received the same treatment as the commoner. Only the truly gifted High Elves can become a member of the High Elf nobility, and look up or continue the surname.
Therefore, the surnames of lords and nobles thousands of years ago are not the same as they are now, and thousands of years from now they will also be different from now. Of course, there are some exceptions, such as the acceptance of a particular surname after becoming a nobleman.
Therefore, if you want to say that the real nobility of the High Elves, there is actually only one, and that is the royal family of the 'Chaser'. The 'Chaser' family is the one who brought the elves to this continent and the one who founded Quel'Thalas, and for thousands of years, the High Elves have never been disappointed.
Not to mention that now, all the High Elves have been loyal to the Chaser family since birth. So how could the little prince of this family really encounter any danger?
Kael'thas silently followed Aurelia to the village of the Crown, which was located in the upper right corner of the Woodlands, very far from the front line below. Although Kael'thas never had the luxury of going to the front line, he still has some nostalgia for such strict protection.
It's the late stages of the Troll War, and I've heard that it won't take a few years to destroy those evil trolls. The entire forest land is basically in the hands of the High Elves, plus the elves' magical enchantment, now is the safest time for Quel'Thalas, is it necessary to keep Kael'thas so far away?
Soon, they came to the village of Crown, although Kael'thas had never done a mission in the Forest, but he vaguely remembered that the village seemed to be going to fight spider monsters. What disappointed him was that the current Yuemian Village was beautiful, with birds singing and flowers, and there was nothing unusual except for a group of junior priests wearing cloth robes.
Most of these priests are delicate girls, and there are also a few beautiful boys. He is not very old, and he seems to be a recruit who can't go to the battlefield yet. Kael'thas had a bad feeling when he saw them looking at him with immature, somewhat fiery eyes.
"Your Highness, your first task is to help these children pick herbs here!" Aurelia turned her head and said to Kael'thas as he was sent off the chocobo.
'Ding......'
'You've received the task of [Collecting Herbs]! ’
Kael'thas 's face darkened for a moment, he came to upgrade and exercise, not to maintain his health, even if he didn't destroy the trolls, he wouldn't accompany these priests to collect medicine!!
"Aurelia, I think a good captain can't give preferential treatment to his subordinates because of his status." Kael'thas looked at Aurelia and slowly organized his words, trying to salvage the situation.
"Of course, that's why I'll let you stay here...", but Aurelia didn't care, her blue eyes stared at Kael'thas playfully, and she said, "I can't let a recruit who hasn't been on the battlefield follow my team to the front, that's a dangerous thing to do......"
"So, I left you here. It will be a sacred work to collect medicine here, and you must know that the wounded who have come down from the front line are in constant need of these herbs. I think that letting you do this task is also the greatest recognition for you......"
"I'm sure you can do it well!"
Aurelia spoke, her words echoing among the High Elf priests, who all began to look at her with admiration and respect, perhaps realizing what a sacred thing it was to collect medicine.
Kael'thas had no choice but to refute, Aurelia had said so, and if he refuted, it would only make the people around him unhappy.
"Well, I'll come back to you later!"
Aurelia waved at Kael'thas and led her team away from the village. Although Kaelsala wants her to protect Kael'thas, Aurelia is a strict military and will keep Kael'thas safe, but will not waste her time killing enemies to accompany him.
That would be a blasphemy to every High Elf who is desperately fighting on the front line!
"Aldielshala" (nice trip)
Kael'thas said goodbye in approval, and he saw Aurelia's shoulders shake and seemed to hear him. Then Kael'thas turned and looked at the young priests around him.
How should we deal with them? 】
He was dismayed to find that several of the priests were familiar faces who had been in the Royal Trade District a few years earlier.
……
And at this time it is called the Tower of Wrath.
"Woo~Whimper~~"
"Alas... What are you crying about!? ”
Kylesara, who was so overwhelmed by the crying of the girl behind him that he put down the pen in his hand and looked back and sighed.
It was a beautiful blonde girl, standing there, but not at all obtrusive.
"Woo~ Your Highness, His Highness Kael'thas he, His Highness Kael'thas still hasn't recognized me!!"
The girl was crying cutely with tears in her eyes. She obviously managed to get up with His Highness Kael'thas alone, and escorted all the way to the land of the secluded forest, but ...... Kael'thas still doesn't realize her presence!!
"Uh..."
Kylesara was a little helpless, he didn't expect his brother to be so useless. This made him touch the girl's head with some sympathy and comforted: "It's okay, one day he will know!" ”
His voice was warm and clear, and it was especially useful in soothing a wounded heart.
"Woo~Woo~ Your Highness, it's still hello..."
“……”
"His Highness Kael'thas has gone too far! I've been with him since he was born, but he's never noticed me......."
"Uh... That's something wrong with him! But then again... Who are you? ”
“……”
The girl was suddenly stunned, she looked up at Kylesara with wide eyes and shocked, and then "Wow" burst into tears, pushed Kylesara away and ran out!
"Woo~ I hate Your Highness the most!! I've been your adjutant, but you don't know me!! Wow~"
Adjutant?
Kylesara patted her head speechlessly: Lotherma Theron!
"Cuong... Cuong!! Don't run, I'm kidding!! ”
He smiled wryly and hurriedly chased after him.
This adjutant, not to mention the sense of existence, is very powerful......
