Chapter 758 Jaina Spewing Blood

Almost at the same time, on the sea less than fifty kilometers away from the Beiliu coast, a huge fleet was heading from west to east towards the Beiliu harbor.

The largest ship at the heart of this mixed fleet was not the flagship, and the flag flying on the largest ship was also interesting.

There are three flags in total.

First of all, the highest flag representing the nationality is the lion flag with blue background and gold edge of Stormwind Kingdom.

Then the flag representing the organization in the middle is the storm flag of the Marcus Chamber of Commerce.

Both of these are fine, but what is interesting is the last personal flag - the King's Banner of Kul Tiras. This means that those on board are members of the Kul Tiran royal family.

Generally speaking, according to international practice, a married princess is not allowed to continue to fly her own royal flag.

There is only one reason for this strange phenomenon. Sitting on the boat is Princess Jaina Proudmoore, the fiancée of Duke Marcus, the Grand Duke of Stormwind Kingdom.

According to the results of the previous discussion between Dailin and Ryan, the bosses of the two countries, Jaina was born as a member of the Duke family and died as a ghost of the Duke family. She no longer belongs to Kul Tiras, so Jaina's nationality is the Kingdom of Stormwind. .

This was mainly because at that time, Delin wanted Jaina to get married soon, so he couldn't wait for Duke to come back to consummate the marriage, so he kicked Jaina out first.

In fact, in the past ten years since Duke's disappearance, the Kul Tiras military and commercial circles have been strictly guarding against Jaina.

Of course, Gianna is not Calia, or in other words, she is extremely talented and intelligent, and she has never been a woman willing to be ordinary from the beginning.

On Jaina's 18th birthday, she started building a fleet under the framework of the Marcus Chamber of Commerce without using a single copper coin from the Duke family. Today, a huge fleet of 50 ships, including five battleships, is the result of her efforts.

This is not easy.

During her rise, she did not receive any preferential treatment, whether from Kul Tiras, the Kingdom of Stormwind, or the Marcus family who would theoretically be her backing.

Even the shipbuilding schedule required her to find ways to smoothen the relationship before she could make it.

She didn't understand why Marcus' direct descendants rejected her so much.

At first, Jaina thought that Miss Ilucia Barov, who was probably her fiancé's underground lover, was stealing the power of the Marcus family.

She soon discovered she was wrong.

The structure of the Marcus family is completely different from any other family or organization on the continent. It has an organizational structure that transcends this era.

Even though Duke has disappeared.

Everyone in charge is still firmly performing their duties.

Ilucia is in charge of the business department. She uses her excellent economic acumen and her equally outstanding father to provide the entire Marcus family with astonishing wealth every year that is comparable to the income of the entire Lordaeron treasury.

Reginald Windsor firmly controls the family's huge private army, giving them the most rigorous training and regular combat training against monsters. On the surface, the Marcus family only has 30,000 soldiers. In fact, in the past ten years, the guys who have been disbanded and returned to their hometown to serve as militiamen, each one of them has strength that is no less than the elite soldiers of the Scarlet Cross Legion. As long as the Marcus family is willing, they can pull out 100,000 elites at any time.

Edwin Van Cleef is a bit special. He was born in the Masonic Brotherhood and was in charge of the construction and intelligence agencies at the same time. No one but him knows what tricks he left behind when building each castle, and how much power he has in the dark.

Casa Ulassis is in charge of the family's knighthood, which is a huge knighthood including 300 paladins, with a total number of more than a thousand people. They are also responsible for protecting Jaina. Unfortunately, Jaina knows very well that they will perform their duties without hesitation, but they have never been loyal to her in the slightest.

The two sisters Sylvanas and Lilas control a mountain group of 5,000 people, a mixture of elves and humans.

Macaro, the great butler of the family, unswervingly implements the policies that Duke left before his disappearance. He does many things that others cannot understand. Like tinkering with new technologies that even the wisest dwarves and gnomes can't understand. Another example is storing a large number of things for the family that even Antonidas, a master of magic and alchemy, cannot understand.

Every year on December 31, these family officials will gather together to report on their work.

Many times, there is no specific content, only the degree of completion is reported, such as 94%, or 122%. Macaro took out the progress chart left by Duke back then, rated everyone's work and awarded rewards.

The basis for all rewards or punishments is a reward and punishment book that will increase or decrease appropriately every year. The above is even accurate enough to include the coefficients used to calculate natural disasters such as severe droughts and floods.

The annual gathering was not hidden from Gianna, but everyone just regarded Gianna as an insignificant bystander. At first, Jaina tried to see if she could take control of this extremely powerful family as her fiancée, but she soon gave up in despair.

The entire family is a huge and sophisticated machine. Unless she has wisdom and foresight that surpasses Duke, no one will accept her as an 'outsider' who has not officially changed her surname to Marcus.

Jaina was really on the verge of tears.

She was trapped in the Marcus family, but she couldn't get any real benefits from being the mother of the family.

Of course, there are benefits. For example, one hundred thousand gold coins are given to the 'fiancée' every year, and the household income is increased by 10% year by year. Another example is that before the battle against Ner'zhul, Duke allowed Jaina to move a large number of magic books to the Royal Academy of Magic in Stormwind City.

It's a pity that compared with the amazing treasure trove of the Marcus family, these things are just pebbles on the roadside!

The most terrible thing is that Duke's plan for this is for a period of 20 years.

No changes will be allowed for 20 years unless it is confirmed that Duke is indeed dead. Even if it needs to be changed, it must be unanimously approved by all the important officials in the family.

In order to meet the money needed for her magic experiments and to prove her ability, the hard-working Jaina could only go out to run a business...

However, when she was 20 years old, things finally turned around for Gianna.

Her luck is that the high elf advisor and butler is standing next to her now.

She is claimed to be Magna Evans, but in fact she has a more shocking name - Magna Aegwynn.

Yes, she is Medivh's mother, the former guardian Aegwynn!

"Duke is back, what should I do?" Jaina asked Magna in a deep voice.

"Actually, you can learn from me. If the Marcus family wants an heir, just help Duke give birth to him. I did the same to Nielas back then, and I won't be the one to raise him again."

Jaina almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
