After Duke went out with Jaina, in Karazhan, Jaina's maids and servants were talking about it privately, and the gossip spirit that had existed since ancient times was burning.
"Do you think that when the Grand Duke goes out with His Royal Highness this time, will... that?"
"Of course! No one can resist your charm."
"Now there is only one princess left in the world, your Highness. If the Grand Duke is a normal man, he will know what to do."
"I still don't think they're going to go straight to home plate."
"It's hard to say! Isn't Windrunner Lake in East Elwynn Forest pretty? What if the scenery is too beautiful?"
"Yeah! I was just mesmerized by the view of the sea for a moment, and then I lost my virginity to that bastard Anthony."
"Hey! Don't tell me, I heard that His Majesty Proudmoore and Miss Golden Sword also had a passionate affair on the ship..."
Sylvanas, who was not far away, sneered when she heard this. She turned around and teased Ilucia: "Hey, little Ilucia, aren't you afraid that Duke will really act on impulse and let little Jaina go ashore first, hehe!"
Ilucia shook her head firmly: "Sister Sylvanas, you also know about Duke's plan. I am afraid that Duke will go too far and I don't know how to keep it."
Sylvanas smiled evilly and said, "That's not necessarily true. Our Duke is so popular. Besides, didn't that playboy hide a real princess before?"
"Shh!" Ilucia raised her index finger in front of her lips and nervously made a gesture of silence.
"Tsk, they are not elves who can hear the voice of the wind." Sylvanas shrugged indifferently: "I really don't know what's so good about Duke. The eldest sister and the third sister are , and you are also . Everyone is devoted to that boy."
Ilucia's pretty face turned red: "He, he... I..."
"Hey! Do you want to make a bet with me on whether Duke will do something cruel to little Jaina?"
"Let's bet!" Ilucia agreed a little angrily.
"What's the bet?" Sylvanas asked somewhat teasingly.
"Just bet on the other party to do something within their ability."
The two had just high-fived and sworn an oath when Ilucia felt a surge of arcane power coming from the other side.
The entire Karazhan was in a state of strict space blockade, especially from the direction of Azeroth. With the efforts of Duke and Khadgar, most of the openings of the space cracks were moved to the original location of the Nightmare. Now it was guarded by the Heroic Warriors, the Saints of Chastity, and the giant arcane constructs headed by the Curator.
The stables, reception room and ballroom at the main entrance have been renovated, and even the opera house will reopen soon.
This arcane fluctuation is a portal that leads directly to the front door. Only Duke and Ilucia have the right to open it.
Duke is back, bringing Jaina with him.
Jaina's appearance made all the Kul Tiras maids and servants scream.
"Your Highness! What's wrong with you?!" Jaina's head maid rushed up in panic, glancing at Duke suspiciously out of the corner of her eyes.
"It's not my blood! I'm fine!" Jaina calmed down and quickly got to the point: "I went through a cruel magic trial, and now I just want to take a good bath."
Although Jaina tried to comfort the maids, she looked so horrible. Her entire upper body was stained with blood, as if she had fallen into a pool of blood as part of an evil ritual and then been fished out.
At this moment, even though no one said it out loud due to Duke's authority, every Kul Tiran felt a deep resentment towards Duke.
Where is the romance you promised?
Where is the wonderful Valentine's Day?
It's bad enough that you don't even have a love affair with our precious princess, but you even got yourself covered in blood. What the hell is this?
Duke ignored the maids' murderous looks and shrugged.
Over there, Sylvanas came over with a somewhat artificial expression of surprise.
"Is it that exaggerated?"
Illusia and the other nodded at the same time.
Before Jaina had walked far, the maid beside her had already vomited violently because she saw the pieces of internal organs stuck to the back of Jaina's shoulder.
Ilucia gave Duke a ms.like salute: "It seems more appropriate for me to go."
Don't be fooled by Ilucia's weak appearance. She followed Duke in battles across thousands of miles and has seen many brutal battlefields. In fact, she is a hundred times better than those maids who have never seen blood.
"Ilucia, I lose this time." Sylvanas was very straightforward.
As Ilucia left, she waved her hands to show that she heard him.
Suddenly, Duke and Sylvanas were the only ones left in the hall.
"Hey, Duke, you really don't regret doing this?"
"What are you regretting? His Majesty Daelin gave his daughter to the great wizard who killed the most orcs in the Alliance as an apprentice. He should have been mentally prepared for this." Duke looked indifferent.
"How could you be so cruel to such a delicate girl?" Sylvanas put her hands on her hips in surprise. "Is this still the Edmund Duke who couldn't move his legs when he saw a beautiful woman, gave magic roses everywhere, and used magic to please girls?"
Duke blushed for the first time. "Okay, stop teasing me. Times have changed. There may be two to five years of peace, but the symphony of destruction has already begun. First, Jaina does have the qualifications to be a hero. Second, the one who can stand by my side in the end must be a woman who is strong enough to protect herself in any crisis."
Sylvanas was no fool. She immediately realized that she was also within Duke's hunting range!
"Asshole! Do you want to pack up all four of us Windrunner sisters? You're going to die! Let me be clear, I don't like you, so don't be so self-indulgent."
Duke touched his nose a little embarrassedly: "I didn't say that."
"Hmph! That's good!" Sylvanas turned around, slapped Duke on the back of his head, and left.
On the other side, in the bathroom of Karazhan.
Since the maid could no longer be relied upon, Jaina could only ask her best friend and the mole sent by Duke, Ilucia, to help her clean her body.
I washed it over and over again with warm water, but no matter how many times I washed it, I could still smell that disgusting smell of blood in my nostrils.
The cavalryman whose neck was broken by a spear...
Those warriors who died in front of me...
Those orcs who were smashed into pieces by Duke's magic...
Everything that happened today kept replaying in my mind uncontrollably.
Crouching down and immersing half of her face in the water, Jaina blew bubbles out of boredom: "Puff, puff, puff!"
The next moment, an illusion appeared in Jaina's vision. She was not soaking in clean pool water, but in a pool of scarlet blood.
"Ugh!" Jaina hurriedly climbed half of her body and vomited again.
