Chapter 776 Please Help Me with the Details

For long-lived races, ten years may be just a blink of an eye.

Be it elves or dragons, they are quite indifferent to the concept of time.

Not so with humans.

Ten years is certainly the youth spent by Gianna, and it is also the youth spent by Vanessa Van Cleef.

The Kingdom of Stormwind at this time in history was very corrupt and declining. The Storm Royal Family has made a lot of unfulfilled promises and canceled payments. For example, after the restoration of the country, the Storm Royal Family refused to pay the construction fee for the reconstruction of Storm Wind City, which was advanced by the Stonemasons Brotherhood because of the conspiracy of a dragon princess.

This resulted in a major tragedy for Vanessa's father, Edwin Van Cleef, the Brotherhood of Masons, and a host of other people who were not paid for their labor.

In her original destiny, deep in the dark death mines, Vanessa spent her childhood in such a dark, terrifying, and painful environment. Her father and others around her were struggling with a kind of anger and despair. Of course, they could not instill any good aspects of Stormwind City into her. Even if they said nothing to her, the long-term exposure and exposure would be enough to make her have a negative impression of Stormwind City. I also slowly harbored an indelible hatred.

In this life, Duke's appearance changed everything.

Her father Edwin rose from a lowly status as a stonemason leader to one of the two heroes fighting the orcs in the western wilderness. Although he is not as famous as Duke, the glory is real in the Kingdom of Stormwind.

"Ah! You are the daughter of Edwin Van Cleef!"

"You are so skilled, you deserve to be the daughter of a hero!"

If she were a boy, she might be like Alexandros Mograine's son, living in the shadow of his father. After all, boys inherit the family business.

But she is a girl and has no pressure at all.

If there was any pressure, it was...her father Edwin couldn't find a man to marry his daughter at all.

In terms of status, because Edwin followed Duke, he jumped from the low status of a stonemason to the knight class, and was directly promoted to a viscount. He was an important minister of the Marcus family.

In his official position, Edwin is the Minister of Construction under the Minister of the Interior, and he is responsible for almost all infrastructure projects in the Kingdom of Stormwind.

Logically speaking, the Van Cleef family is already considered prominent.

The problem lies here.

The nobles can accept that a poor boy with no background enters the circle of nobles because he masters the mysterious power. After all, the inheritance of the magic circuit itself is a wealth that cannot be bought for a thousand dollars. But the nobles definitely don't like a person with no special talents who can rise to the top and become a noble in one step.

Under normal circumstances, only those knights who have been in the knight class for at least two generations and are promoted to the nobility will be more easily accepted by the aristocratic circle.

The nobles of the Kingdom of Stormwind have withered a lot because of Du's trap during the retreat, but the old nobles, such as the Fordagon family of Bolvar, or the new generation of nobles who were later promoted by Ryan, still do not Love Van Cleef.

In the final analysis, the only ones who can accept Vanessa are within the Marcus family.

Later, during a competition five years ago, Vanessa knocked down Lao Fan's favorite knight captain Kasa with twelve consecutive strikes of her gorgeous dagger...

Vanessa, who has a bad reputation, can't get married at all.

Vanessa, who participated in the Battle of the Dark Portal and is used to seeing great heroes, naturally has a high level of vision. She doesn't care about whether to marry or not: "Dad, you are still young anyway. If you want the Van Cleef family to continue, If so, you can marry another woman and give me a younger brother or sister to be my heir in the future. Just leave me alone."

Edwin finally realized that after following Princess Kalia around the world for ten years, his precious daughter was no longer the obedient little girl, but a truly strong person.

When Edwin heard about Duke's magnificent return this time and the instigation of a certain queen who had fled to Stormwind City for refuge, he immediately sent his daughter here.

"The Van Cleef family is born as a member of the Marcus family, and dies as a ghost of the Marcus family. Master Duke has just returned, and it is when he needs help. Since you were the master's maid before, and now you are stuck With the permission of Her Majesty Leah, you should serve in front of the master." Edwin spoke righteously on his face, but in fact he happily sent his daughter to the Beiliu coast on a speedboat.

Also coming with Vanessa were the high elf female knight Liadrin and the fourth child of the Windrunner family, Lilas.

They were originally sent by Duke to be Kalia's companions, accompanying the hard-working Kalia to enjoy her freedom. Strictly speaking, they are all Duke's subordinates. The following ten years of coexistence made them imprinted with Kalia again. When Kalia was pushed out by Duke to take power, sending them back naturally had a different meaning.

Duke doesn't care. After being missing for ten years, Ilucia still helped him manage his territory and power, and Duke was already very grateful. Especially Edwin Van Cleef. After Ilucia secretly pointed out that if it weren't for the Marcus family, Stormwind City would not be able to pay for the construction of the city. Edwin completely stopped thinking about the Stormwind nobles and became Marcus. The most fervent supporter of the Si family.

In any case, it is still easy for my own people to use.

Since Vanessa proposed to come back as the head maid, Duke just let her go. Anyway, she is now a single commander and has no maids under her.

Lilas quietly stepped into the realm of heroes, and could be considered to have 70% of Alleria's combat power back then.

On the other hand, the enemy is the undead, and without a paladin around him, Duke is really weak. Liadrin's arrival is obviously a big help.

The only thing Duke didn't expect was that Vanessa blocked Gianna out as soon as she arrived.

Duke rubbed his eyebrows: "Vanessa, in the future, unless there are special circumstances, Gianna can enter my tent or room without notification."

When Duke's voice came from the camp, Vanessa reluctantly moved away from her.

Even though she was a little unhappy at being blocked, Vanessa's quick movements made Gianna take a high look. However, Vanessa in a tight-fitting outfit was doing the work of a maid, coupled with her special vigorous charm, which made Gianna a little bit annoyed: it seems that she has more than one competitor, Kalia!

Jaina pursed her lips slightly, and then entered in a dignified manner.

"Duke, I'm here this time..."

Duke saw through Jaina's thoughts at a glance and waved his hand: "Defeating the Scourge is the most important thing. Once the Scourge is allowed to recruit Archimonde, the commander of the Burning Legion, the world will be destroyed. By then, any honor and status will be illusory. Something. Come here and help me look into the details, now that bastard Anastrian has given me a problem."
