On her first night back in Lordaeron five years ago, Kalia was hugged tightly by her mother.

"You've made it, Kalia"

In the room, the queen of Lordaeron stroked Kalia's somewhat thin little face with her hand, and said distressed and happy:

"You changed your father and won your destiny!"

She was proud that her daughter was able to become a powerful professional, as powerful as those men.

No, Kalia is better than those men!

For she had broken free from the fate of a woman, and perhaps would become greater than Egwene.

"I changed my father"

However, Kalia tilted her head and looked at her mother and shook her head:

"But Mom, I didn't win my destiny."

Her little face looked a little sad, not like the look that a child should have, she has always been strong, only this night, in front of her mother, revealed her true heart.

The queen was a little puzzled, and wondered in her heart, and asked softly:

"Why do you say that?"

It was Kalia's dream to become a knight, and now it has succeeded, and Terenus even promised her the best possible training.

Why is this child still unhappy?

"Mom, I'm in love with a High Elf"

Kalia's words were shocking, and the queen was stunned.

"I can't be with him, I haven't won my destiny."

She continued, gently breaking free from the queen's arms and standing aside.

"Ahaha, I understand, I understand!"

Suddenly, the queen laughed, and she seemed to have a little nostalgia for something:

"I've seen those elves before, and they're really handsome, and I think every human girl will like them."

She stretched out her hand, touched Kalia's head, and said:

"Still, Kalia, that's normal."

"Everyone will love beauty, and in a few years, you will know that this is not love."

How can a young child know true love?

When they grow up, that longing is shattered by reality, and they will naturally understand what is best for them.

"No, Mom, that's love."

Kalia didn't like the queen's words, believing them to be a contempt for herself.

This is a mood that has taken a long time to determine, how can it be said that it is not love?

If the first time I saw that elven prince, I would have said that I was longing. But now it's different, it's completely different

The heart-rending pain clearly told its owner what it was

"Mom, would you like to hear some stories from me?"

Kalia decided to tell her mother, to tell her about what she had been through, to tell her about the kind of person she had fallen in love with.

The queen agreed—and she was interested in this little adventure.

Every pampered aristocratic girl has an adventurous dream.

However, the story of Kalia did not make the queen happy

Indeed, this story can be said to be a more romantic adventure than the legendary novel, the handsome teenager takes the princess on an adventure, and then teaches her to become a knight along the way, and together fight evil and save justice

However, that teenager is not human.

And Kalia, no kidding, is really in love with an elf.

"Impossible! It's impossible, Kalia."

When she had heard the story, the queen was angry and then distressed, and she touched her daughter's cold face and said:

"Give it up, it's an impossible idea"

The queen dreams that her daughter can forge her own path and become a person who will go down in history, but she will never agree with her pursuing an unrealistic dream.

Humans cannot be combined with other races, especially elves.

Unlike the dwarven gnomes, the elves have always been on the high ground, maintaining their own traditions, disdaining little to associate with other races, and in the minds of men, a mythical race.

An ordinary elf rarely looks at the aristocracy of human beings squarely.

Not to mention, the other party is still an elven prince.

Even if Kalia says that she wants to marry a dragon, the queen may support her daughter, but the other party is an elf

The elves of those elven kingdoms were originally descendants of the upper elves, and they were all arrogant, powerful and long-lived, how could they be with humans.

Although most people in the upper class of human beings do not regard elves as higher beings than themselves, human women who have no power do not have such a broad vision of the world. For this queen, the elven kingdom is a nobler existence than humans.

"Listen to your mother, give up this idea, Kalia, you have become a knight, and you will definitely be able to marry a king you want to marry in the future, don't think about that elf."

The queen looked into Kalia's eyes and said seriously:

"You can surely marry the best of kings."

This is no joke, Kalia is qualified to marry any king of mankind and be the mother of a nation.

"No, I don't want it, Mom, why don't you support me"

Kalia gritted her teeth and shook her head, she didn't understand why this mother, who had always supported her, had to stop herself in this matter.

If it weren't for the queen's support for her dreams, Kalia would have lost her dream of being a knight long ago.

Could it be that this love is more difficult than this dream?

"Kalia, I want to support you, but this thing can't be successful, no matter how hard you try, the other party is also an elf"

"He can't accept you, and his race can't accept you"

It's not something that can be achieved unilaterally, there's so much involved.

The queen didn't want her daughter to be alone for the rest of her life.

"Besides, the other party is the prince of the elf clan, and this time it was just an accident to come out to play, even if you wait for a lifetime, you may not meet again."

"They have a different sense of time than we do."

The queen's words happened to be the things that Kalia feared the most.

However, if you give up, you will never have a chance again.

Kalia didn't want to regret it

"No, my brother said we would meet, so we will definitely meet."

She argued to her mother, her fingers clenched, and said:

"If I can't see him, I'll go to the border as an officer when I grow up, and stay outside Quel'Thalas, and he'll come out one day!"

The queen was silent.

All along, she was most satisfied with Kalia for her persistence, but now that persistence has become the thing she hates the most.

"Do you understand what you're talking about?"

After a pause, the queen continued to ask questions, her expression serious and cold:

"You're kidding your life!!"

It was the first time that Kalia had seen her mother so serious and cold, and it felt strange to her.

――――"I chose this because I don't joke about my life, Mom"

On the battlefield, Kalia swung her sword to kill an orc, whispering.

It's a pity that the object of her whispering, the mother whose relationship has become cold, can't hear her words.

That night, in the end, no one made sense of anyone, and Kalia lost someone who could show her vulnerability.

She spent years working hard to train herself, but she was getting farther and farther away from her mother.

Is it worth it?

【Worthy】

The moment Kalia rushed to Kael'thas and saw the face close at hand, she felt that nothing mattered.

"Why are you here? Why"

Kael'thas ran, looking at the girl who was riding a horse and running beside him with some annoyance, not knowing what the child was doing here.

However, Kalia laughed lightly, and she rode her horse, swung her sword to knock down the orcs in front of her, and then lowered her hand and held out her hand towards Kael'thas:

"Brother, come up"

Her smile, pure and innocent, looked at him with deep and focused eyes that made Kael'thas feel a little strange.

[Defeated her]

Looking at the speed of the holy horse, it was much faster than his

Kael'thas held out his hand and shook it.

The touch in his hand made him stunned.

This girl's hands are even rougher than his, and they feel painful to hold, and they are hands that have gone through vicissitudes.

But the knight's light should be enough to remove the calluses from his hands, right?

Why

What has she been through in the past few years?

The sheer force pulled Kael'thas to horseback, and that wasn't the strength a girl should have.

A high-level professional is not much weaker than Kael'thas in strength.

Kael'thas sat behind Kalia, his hand on the reins, feeling a little sad.

He didn't understand where this sadness came from, he didn't dare to think about it

"Brother, don't pull too tight!"

Kalia controlled the reins, prompting Kael'thas so that his movements did not interfere with his control.

The horse leaped up and ran forward as fast as he could, several times faster than Kael'thas.

The horse's hooves landed with silver holy light, and this horse was able to rely on its own ability to advance and retreat freely among the beasts.

Paladin, no weaker than Warlock

"Maybe you don't have to go to Lake Taromir"

There were orcs all around, but Kalia was happy and said softly.

"What's that?"

Kael'thas didn't understand her words.

[That's where we first met]

Kalia shook her head silently, thinking of the silvery lake and the peaceful night

She had a dream

If you can't be together for the rest of your life, then after you die, let someone else burn her to ashes and sprinkle it on Lake Taromir

That must be her only happiness

However, if I could, it would be a greater happiness to die here

My brother Beethoven

Dying in your arms is a luxury

Now you, can you understand my bitterness?

I'm useless, I've been through so many battles, and I still can't forget your smile

Do you understand?

I can't be the great Arthur King who erases my emotions, because I'm just Kalia

It's all yours for Kalia
