Chapter 187: The Countess's True Body
PS: The third update!
Varian recalls the past, and the woman made a very deep impression on him. After Queen Tiffen's death, he even fantasized about making Katranana the new queen. However, MI7 agents said that she seemed to be close to many nobles, and Varian suppressed the idea.
Varian looked at his youngest son, who was being pulled by the countess, with hesitation and jealousy in his eyes.
Katrana squatted down, pointed at Varian, and said softly to the little prince, "Your Highness, isn't that the father you miss every day?" Call 'Daddy'!"
After half a year, the little prince was already a little strange to his father, he looked at Varian timidly, opened his mouth, and still did not make a sound.
"Come here, Anduin!" Varian was anxious, so his voice was a little stiff. He was afraid that Katrana would hold his son hostage. It's his only bloodline.
But his face frightened the little prince even more, and he stepped back, trying to hide behind Katrana's back.
"Your Majesty, you're scaring him!" Catlana was disgusted, and immediately whispered to comfort Anduin. She is like a competent nanny with no flaws.
Varian hesitated, could she really be the Black Dragon Princess?
Jiang Weihan said: "His Majesty Varian is a little worried about the invasion of the Burning Legion, so he is a little anxious. β
Varian knew that he was helping him play the round, so he immediately said, "Yes, I had a gaffe to make you laugh." β
"It's human nature." Jiang Weihan smiled.
Varian wanted to ease the atmosphere in the hall, and he introduced Jiang Weihan to his courtiers: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is His Excellency Jiang Weihan, the head of the Valoran Federation. He's here to help us. The Burning Legion is approaching, and we need to retreat to the safety of the New World at once! β
Boval. Duke Vortagan and Count Katrana both saluted Jiang Weihan. Archbishop Benedictas also nodded in acknowledgment.
Katrana looked at Jiang Weihan and said in a reverent tone: "It turns out that you are the famous Jiang Weihan!" Your fame has spread to the Stormwind Kingdom, and I've heard that you and your nation have played a significant role in the fight against the Scourge and the Ranhand Legion. It's amazing that you're as young as our king! β
Her tone was sincere, and there was no hint of hypocrisy or flattery. And without a trace, he praised both leaders at the same time.
Jiang Weihan said: "I'm just doing what I can." He squatted down, stretched out his hand to the little prince, and said with a friendly smile: "Little prince, look what is this?" β
In his palm he held a handful of sweets and chocolates, which were truly native products of the earth, and were beautifully packaged.
"Candy!" Anduin's eyes lit up.?
"Uncle Shou will give it to you!" Jiang Weihan encouraged.
Anduin glanced up at Katrana. Wanting to ask for her opinion, "Call quickly, Your Highness the Prince." This is a hero like your father! The countess encouraged.
"Uncle!" Anduin immediately opened his mouth and let out a sweet cry.
"Hey, what a good boy!" Jiang Weihan was full of smiles, and he beckoned to the little prince. "Come here, the candy is yours!"
Anduin trotted over with a cheer. Jiang Weihan did not break his promise and stuffed all the candy to him. Anduin was so happy that he willingly called "uncle" twice.
Seeing that his son was safe, Varian finally breathed a sigh of relief. A layer of cold sweat formed on his back, and after only half a year, Anduin had almost forgotten about his father, but was so close to Katrana. This made him a little jealous and worried. If something really happens to him. I'm afraid this woman will easily get the power of Stormwind.
Jiang Weihan glanced at Varian, and the other party understood, and asked the maid to take the prince away.
"We're going to discuss something confidential." Varian waved again for the palace guards to withdraw. As the gates of Stormwind slammed shut. The atmosphere here suddenly became solemn.
Duke Berval thought it was a matter of retreat, and he immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, I have received your order to retreat. But is it really necessary for us to be so afraid of the Burning Legion? The army left behind in Stormwind didn't even engage the demons head-on, and if they retreated like this, it would inevitably demoralize the army. And the national retreat is very difficult, and it may take us months to prepare for a qiΔ. Hopefully you'll think about this again. β
"I know it's not easy to retreat. But we don't have a few months. Maybe not even half a month. But we have to. Varian muttered, looking at Katrana. But now there are two things that are more important and need to be addressed immediately. I invited His Excellency Jiang Weihan and Master Anna*. It is for this purpose. Now, please refrain from acting rashly. β
The atmosphere in the hall was stern and strange because of Varian's wordsβdon't act rashlyβwho is this to arrest?
"Please forgive me for overstepping." The white-haired Anna stepped forward and looked directly at the countess: "Katrana. Lady Presto, maybe I should call you Onexia? β
Katrana frowned and asked blankly, "Who are you?" What are you talking about? I don't understand what you're saying, what does that mean? β
"Do you want me to debunk your disguise myself, or do you want to show myself my true form?" Anna raised her staff and looked at her coldly, "Black Dragon Princess Onexia, daughter of Deathwing, come and find out!" β
Katrana shouted, "What are you talking about, what Black Dragon Princess, what Deathwing, are you mad, wizard!" β
She turned her gaze to the Duke of Bolval and the others of Stormwind, and finally to King Varian, "Your Majesty, do these people really doubt me?" β
"Obsessed!" Anna snorted coldly, and was about to cast a spell.
"Your Majesty, isn't such an accusation too ridiculous!" Bolval stepped forward and criticized Anna with some indignation, "Countess Presto has worked hard for us in Stormwind for many years. During your Northern Expedition, she did an excellent job of curbing the infiltration of the Defia thieves, solving the hidden dangers of the Orcs of Red Ridge Mountain, and leading her troops to expel the demons around Lakeside Town. How can you trust such a wizard of unknown origin and suspect a nobleman who has contributed to the royal state? β
"Stand here, Berval. Let them keep talking. Varian said in a deep voice, and after seeing Anduin's dependence on the countess and Berval's anxious defense, he was even more convinced that Catlana had bad intentions.
Jiang Weihan said: "Duke Boval, she can deal with the orcs of Red Ridge Mountain because it is her brother Nefarian who controls the Black Stone Tower; And she was able to curb the Defia thieves because she was the one who accused and instigated the rebellion of the Masonry Brotherhood. Queen Tiffen's death is inextricably linked to her. Are you sure you want to exonerate her? β
"Your Excellency, where is the evidence?" Boval stared at Jiang Weihan and asked in an unkind tone.
"You'll see the evidence right away." Jiang Weihan nodded and gestured to Anna.
He and several other heroes, Kyle, surround Katrana to prevent her from flareing up. The others guarded the surrounding royal guards - in Jiang Weihan's memory, these guards were all replaced by Catlana with Black Dragons. These black dragons transformed into human forms, guarding their princesses.
Anna chanted an obscure incantation, and no one around her knew what it meant, but Katrana knew it - it was the language of the dragons!
These people came prepared!
The spell had magical power that twisted Catlana's body, and soon revealed her true form - under the incredulous gaze of the people of Stormwind, she turned into a massive black dragon! That huge body almost occupies half of the small hall!
"The truth is out." Jiang Weihan said softly.
Varian was relieved. If Katrana does not reveal his true identity at this time, then his prestige will be unimaginably challenged. People will question him, oppose him. Fortunately, Jiang Weihan and Anna did not lie to him.
He felt a little angry in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that he and the noble ministers of Stormwind City were being played by a black dragon. He even fantasized about marrying Katrana - the thought of nearly sharing a bed with a black dragon sent chills down Varian's back. Then he was extremely angry, it was this black dragon who led the death of Queen Tiffin, and also caused the corruption of the Storm City Government, so that the Masonry Brotherhood rebelled!
Onexia's true form was revealed, and she didn't have to hide anything, but yelled angrily, "It's good, you guys came to disturb me before I had enough fun." So who gave you the courage to dare to provoke the Black Dragon Princess, mortals! β
She shouted to the guards around her, "Dragon soldiers, tear them apart!" Fast! β
The royal guards around them instantly turned into dragonman warriors, shouting at their weapons and rushing over.
"Hmph, understand your situation, mortal!" Onexia snorted coldly and pounced on Anna, who was closest to her.
"I'm afraid it's you who don't understand your situation!" Anna snorted, and the staff in her hand slammed to the ground, and a frost nova scattered in all directions, freezing all the dragonman soldiers in place.
Jiang Weihan summoned his weapon, held the silver and white judgment, and rushed towards the Black Dragon Princess with Kyle.
"Suffer death, black dragon!"
Varian drew his sword and charged forward, General Windsor protecting his king with his shield. Even Archbishop Benedictas used holy light spells to attack those dragon soldiers. Only the Duke of Berval stood still. In just two minutes, he witnessed the most unacceptable scene in his life. Right before his eyes, the erudite and very capable countess whom he admired and admired became a black dragon!
In addition to Kyle, Jiang Weihan also brings two powerful heroes, Jax, the master of weapons, and Panson, the king of war. Such a force is more than enough to deal with the Black Dragon Princess. (To be continued) R655
