Chapter 1269: Galia's Determination
Gianna was raised under the watchful eye of Sarjan and Valeera, Sarjan and Stella Gosa doted on this little sister, and Tina Gosa regarded her as a lifelong friend.
Valera is the only one who treats Gianna harshly, similar to Jackie Chan's little star's urging to Tina Gossa.
β¦β¦ Of course, there may be some reasons why the little sister rebelled and robbed the man herself, and Sarean didn't want to delve too much into this.
Although there is an age gap between Gianna and the eldest of the new generation, the two who have known each other since childhood can still be regarded as best friends.
Empathetic, Gianna thinks that the more than 20 years before Jialia have not been satisfactory.
Terrenor has always positioned her as a vase for political marriages, and has never bothered to cultivate her political ability.
Thanks to Sarjan's teachings, Galia, who had been trapped in Lordaeron's palace and watched the sky, was finally able to open her eyes to the world.
Thanks to the broadening of her horizons, Galia did not want to be confined to the cramped palace.
Later in Tyrenus's reign, Lordaeron was visibly weakened by the collapse of the Old Alliance and the financial pressures of maintaining a large number of orcs.
After the return of Alterac, who was forcibly swallowed by Terenus, Lordaeron's external power and middle strength could no longer be suppressed.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and Arthas took the initiative to provoke Quel'Salas for personal emotional reasons at this time, exposing his character flaws in front of Galia, who were far from immature.
If she hadn't been opened up by Sarean, she might not have thought much about it.
However, Arthas's impulsive behavior caused the increasingly capable Galia to worry about the future of his country once he succeeded to the throne.
Through the prestige gained by supporting the peace talks brokered by the Lords and factions at the Battle of Alterac, Galia made her first assertion of influence in the kingdom of Lordaeron, and was recognized by a large number of moderate ministers and nobles.
Due to their different philosophies, after Terenus died of illness, Galia and Arthas had a serious disagreement about the future direction of the country.
Even abandoning her personal emotional biases, Galia did not believe that Arthas's advocacy for continued oppression of Quel'Salas was correct.
This time and that time.
In the early years, there were many objective reasons why Lordaeron's ability to surpass the old powerhouse Quel'Salas and sit in the position of the boss of the Eastern Kingdom.
One is the insane internal friction of Quel'Thalas, and the second is the disastrous fertility rate of the High Elves.
In addition, as the leader of the alliance, Lordaeron ate the biggest dividends after winning the war with the old tribes, and many factors combined to make Lordaeron have the momentum of the day.
However, due to Terenus's over-inflated ambitions, Lordaeron opened his mouth in the distribution of benefits after the war, which directly led to the rapid collapse of the old alliance that had been united not long ago, and also laid the groundwork for Lordaeron's decline.
finally gained the approval of most of the powerful people in the country, and Jialia was finally able to ascend the throne and become the queen.
However, before the ambitious Galia could implement her long-planned reform strategy, Alsace, who was still unconvinced, came up with another moth.
And this time, he engaged in a big natural disaster rebellion that swept most of the kingdom, which directly led to a cliff-like decline in the already declining national strength of Lordanron.
To this day, Galia is still trying to reclaim the city of Stratholme, which was occupied by the Scourge Legion, through diplomatic efforts, and completely restore all of Lordaeron.
After the end of the Catastrophe, the traumatized Lordaeron finally ushered in a period of relative peace.
With the help of Quel'Salas Druyin, the plague spread by East Tirisfa has been largely eliminated, but the once thriving East Wilder region is still devastated.
Quel'Salas, by contrast, is back in stride, led by Kael'thas.
In fact, Quel'Salas has secretly regained the title of the strongest country in the Eastern Kingdom, but many people have not yet realized this problem.
Even in a rare period of peace, the queen of Gallia still can't relax.
Due to the historical legacy caused by the two successive turmoil in Alsace, the strength and power in the hands of the powerful nobles in Lordaeron made Galia feel like a fish in the throat.
She is desperate to bring most of the power back to the central government through reforms, but this kind of cake cutting is obviously not so easy to achieve.
Gianna, who was also born noble, could understand the thoughts of those nobles with a little empathy.
I've already eaten the benefits, why should I spit it out again?
Stratholme couldn't get it back in a short period of time as a political achievement for Galia, and after thinking about it, Galia could only borrow the influence of the most popular Archduke of Deep Shadow in recent times.
The relationship between Galia and Sarjan is indeed good, but she is still worried about whether this unspoken use will anger Sarjan.
The best result, of course, is that Salian accepts the marriage in a big way.
With the powerful Grand Duke of Deep Shadow standing behind him, the nobles in Lordaeron's country who danced happily were just some local chickens and dogs.
But...... As she knows, the odds are slim to none.
Things turned out just as Galia had expected, and once again SalΓ©an politely rejected her olive branch.
The good news is that the Grand Duke of Deep Shadow did not debunk her little tricks, but kindly stood up for her in a more tactful way.
It's a pity that the best result was not achieved, but at this point, Galia is very satisfied with the understanding and help of Sarjan.
There were some things that were inconvenient for Sarren to say, and Gianna, who was Galia's best friend, was going to explain the situation in his place.
β¦β¦ However, this girl's words and deeds somewhat exceeded Sarren's expectations, and she actually gave Galia a vague hope in front of him.
After receiving the blessing of Sarren's life, Jialia's theoretical lifespan will be longer than that of Ronin, who uses arcane to prolong her life, and her physical fitness will continue to improve a lot.
She should then use Sarean's acquiescence to further use his influence to beat the powerful lords and ministers who still jump up and down in the country.
"By the way, I almost forgot to mention it."
Before leaving, Salian hesitated, but finally decided to tell his guess.
"Arthas's body is indeed dead, but if I'm not mistaken, his soul is still alive, and it is likely that he was secretly pulled to the Shadow Realm by someone behind the scenes."
"What?!"
Galia, who was originally full of smiles, suddenly changed her expression, and asked with a very complicated expression: "Arthas...... Could it be that he could return to Azeroth again? β
From a personal point of view, as the eldest sister, Galia hopes that Arthas is still alive, and that it is best to get rid of the things that tempt him to fall.
But reason tells Gallia that this is just wishful thinking on her part, and that the mysterious mastermind behind it will never let go of such a useful knife.
Salian shook his head solemnly: "Not sure, theoretically, it is difficult for any soul that enters the shadow realm to appear in the material world again. β
"However, the situation in the shadow world has not been peaceful in recent years, and I can't say what kind of development will be in the future."
Djovar is still suppressed in the Abyss and unable to go out, and Denasius is busy playing hide and seek with the rebels who have turned into guerrilla warfare, so it stands to reason that there shouldn't be much turmoil in the Shadow Realm.
However, Sarian was never sure of the position of the soldier master, and many barrages repeatedly reminded him that there was something strange about the defeat and capture of the soldier master, and he might have other ideas behind his back, and maybe there would be a new mess in the future.
The Sword of Sorrow series is all from the Amnesiac Soldier Master...... That is, the hand of the engraver, and Arthas, as the user of the archetypal Sword Frost Sorrow, is obviously of use to the master.
The last few years have been a precious period of development for Azeroth, and Sarren has no time to clear up the troubles in the Shadow Realm, so he can only wait and see what happens.
Gianna gave a final hug to Galia before parting: "We will continue to monitor Arthas's movements, and I personally suggest that you don't expect anything from him." β
"As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."
With Alsace's radical and unyielding character, the possibility of him returning to the right path is ...... Almost zero. β
"Hey~"
Jialia smiled bitterly and patted Gianna on the back: "I know, it's just...... I feel sorry for my father, who died of illness, and failed to take care of Arthas in his place. β
Sarjan shook his head and persuaded: "It is his own choice that Arthas has come to this point, and it is to blame for Tyrenus's failure to shape his character and three views by example, and you can't blame it." β
As Saljan and Valilla walked out of the palace and faded away, Galia's eyes grew firm and sharp.
"Sarean has helped me a lot, so ...... It's time to see how I perform. β
