The 101st Chapter Lordaeron's Princess (1)

Looking at the ferocious ghouls who were about to surround them, and the black-robed wizard behind the ghouls, Kalia sighed softly.

They have been hiding in this remote mountain area for a long time. She had always thought that she might be able to stay here quietly all the time, and then grow old slowly, until the day when she was completely liberated. In other words, it's the best ending.

But who would have thought that these undead would find her after all...

For Callia Menethil, she was undoubtedly lucky.

Because, she is now the last member of the living royal family of Lordaeron Menethil. If she went out with the name of Menethil as a signboard, and shouted with her arms, with the four words Menethil, most of the surviving army of the original Kingdom of Lordaeron and the Kingdom of Silver The knights in hand will gather under her banner without hesitation, and by then, it is not impossible for her to be crowned Queen of Lordaeron.

However, Callia Menethil was also unfortunate.

Because, not long ago, she experienced the greatest family tragedy in the world—her dearest brother, the brave, kind, righteous and responsible Alsace Menethil, he actually fell so depraved! Not only did he personally kill his father, but he also wanted to harm himself as his own sister. Up to now, he has also destroyed a large kingdom of Lordaeron!

Now, on the land of the former Kingdom of Lordaeron, those undead natural disasters that wreak havoc and massacre the people are all the masterpieces of her good brother! Not only did he destroy her home with his own hands, he also destroyed his own country with his own hands, ruining everything beautiful in front of him!

Kalia still clearly remembers what happened on that day, everything that happened at that time seems to be still vivid in her mind...

She still remembered the cold words he said when she was rescued by the guards - kill her...

It was a sunny afternoon

 …

Today is a good day for the triumphant return of Alsace...

Princess Kalia is in the back garden of Lordaeron Palace, and she is taking a boring walk alone at this time.

On the street outside the palace, bursts of cheers from the citizens of Wangcheng began to be faintly heard. At the same time, in the Wangcheng, the special bell that hadn't been rung for a long time finally rang again.

She knew what those people outside were cheering for—they were cheering for their prince's triumphant return! Cheering for their Prince Arthas' victory in Northrend!

As for the melodious and resonant bell, of course Kalia knew, she knew exactly what that special bell meant! They are generally only sounded during important state events - for example: a royal wedding, the birth of an heir, or... a funeral when the king is in his final resting place.

In Kalia's impression, she had only heard such a bell once.

Calia still remembered very clearly, that was the day when her younger brother, Arthas Menethil was born when she was just two years old. It was the same bell. At that time, they rang throughout the day, and the melodious sound echoed throughout the Tirisfal Glade for a long time...

On that day, the royal family of Lordaeron ushered in the birth of their most desired and most urgent male heir! On that day, it seemed that the entire forest of Lordaeron whispered the same name - Arthas...  

When Kalia thought of the scene when her younger brother was born, she couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Although she is the princess of the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the eldest daughter of King Terenas and Queen Lianne, but because the hereditary system gives priority to males, the crown prince has always been a prince since the moment the prince was born. It was Alsace, and Kalia was never the top priority for succession to the throne.

However, Kalia didn't care about this, she never thought about being the queen of Lordaeron, she liked her brother Alsace very much, and she also liked her current harmonious and happy royal family even more, There was no persecution, no strife, and she already felt very, very content with what she had in front of her.

But today, when she heard this melodious bell ringing again, Kalia in the garden couldn't help but stop and began to listen attentively. She seemed to see the citizens of Lordaeron on both sides of the street, While swaying petals of various colors, she shouted her brother's name loudly.

As she listened, an imperceptible smile began to appear on her face. Anyway, no matter what, she liked the sound of the bell very much.

In fact, once, she, Kalia, was almost lucky enough to enjoy this bell ringing for herself!

She still remembered that when she was about to turn sixteen that year, King Terenas almost decided to betroth Calia to a young human nobleman for a political marriage.

At the beginning, this practice made the young Jialia heartbroken at the time, but she had never seen the man named Prestor, who was about to be mortgaged by the king as a bargaining chip. It was then that she was disappointed with her father for the first time.

But later, after meeting that Prestor, she was fascinated by him again, a handsome, courteous, talented young human nobleman.

Moreover, I don't know why, every time Kalia gets close to him, she will unconsciously have a feeling of falling in love with him at first sight! It was a special kind of magical power. At that time, she almost thought that she fell in love with him. For this reason, she even secretly dropped a coin in the wishing well in Dalaran.

It's a pity that this Prestor, who was said to be related to Lord Perenolde, suddenly disappeared for no reason. This not only ruined Kalia's marriage, but also caused all the arrangements of her father to come to naught. It was also this plan that prevented Kalia, who is now in her twenties, from getting married!

It is said that the nobleman named Prestor's identity is very doubtful, and there are many gossips and gossips, but her father and king never let her know, and she is not allowed to mention it again.

Up until now, Kalia no longer had the slightest liking for that Prestor, but instead harbored a faint trace of hatred.

If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't still be living in Lordaeron's palace now!

If it weren't for him, her father wouldn't have dared to mention her marriage arrangements, because the incident at the beginning had simply become a nightmare for her father!

...

The bell outside was still ringing, and Kalia continued to wander in the garden after listening for a while. Although she also wanted to go out to greet her brother's return, but on this important occasion, she, the princess of Lordaeron, was not suitable to appear in the king's hall, and her identity could not casually go outside The streets were crowded with the citizens, so she could only wait in the garden in embarrassment.

Anyway, she can only wait patiently for the time being. Maybe, during dinner at night, the whole family can listen to her brother talk about interesting things about Northrend while eating? That must be interesting, right? The family hasn't had dinner together for a long time, and Kalia is looking forward to it.

When walking around a cluster of beautiful flowers, Kalia stopped, and she just silently looked at the colorful butterfly dancing on the flowers. She was already in a trance by this time. She thought, if she could fly freely and carefree like this little creature, how great would it be? In that case, she will no longer have to be locked in this cage-like palace, right?

Or maybe, if she, Calia, was a man, could she, like her younger brother Arthas, be able to roam freely in the colorful world outside?

I don't know what kind of scenery Northrend in the north is like? Is it really cold in there? It is said that there are huge rock giants there? There are also all kinds of weird and honest seal people? Moreover, the ancestors of mankind also seemed to come down to this continent from Northrend in the north? In that case, it is really a magical place.

If there is a chance, Kalia really wants to see it for herself, but unfortunately... she can only think about these things.

While Kalia was thinking wildly, the melodious bell that had been echoing in the Royal City of Lordaeron finally stopped. She knew that it must be her younger brother Alsace, he had already entered the palace, maybe, in a short while, she would be able to see her heroic brother here soon!

Thinking of this, Kalia laughed. She decided to use the flowers in front of her to weave a beautiful wreath for his younger brother. Later, when he came, she would hang it around his neck. Let's regard this as a gift from her elder sister to her younger brother's triumphant return!

That's right, this is really a good idea. It doesn't cost money, and it can express her deep affection for her brother! Then, without further ado, Kalia decided that while they were debriefing in the King's Hall, she would hurry up and make the hero's wreath.

After thinking about it, Kalia stretched out her tender hands with delicate and white skin, and began to pull and pick among the flowers. She needed threads to find a few long branches as the main trunk of the wreath outline, and then carefully put those individual flowers one by one. Embellish it.

...

"ah!"

Suddenly, when Kalia was busy and happy, there were bursts of loud screams outside the kingdom, as well as the clinking of weapons and shields. This incident scared me to pick a beautiful rose. Kalia was accidentally pricked deeply by the thorns on it, and then, a little bright red blood flowed out from her white and tender fingers immediately.

Turning around, Kalia held the half-finished garland in one hand, and sucked the injured right index finger in her mouth. Then, she looked in the direction of the outside with a puzzled expression. After a while, those screams and the sound of weapons colliding seemed to become louder and wider, and after a while, almost half of the The royal city of Lordaeron began to make noise.

What is going on?

Kalia was very puzzled, shouldn't today be her brother Alsace's triumphant day? Why did it seem like there was a sudden fight outside? If it was a carnival in the whole city, wouldn't the sound be like this?

Kalia continued to stand on the spot and listened for a while. She didn't know what was going on outside now, and she finally panicked when the sounds of fighting began to slowly spread into the palace.

But there seemed to be no one in the garden, the guards were not allowed to enter the palace garden at will, and she had just repelled her two maids, and now, she didn't even have anyone to ask questions!

boom!

After a loud noise, the front gate of the garden was knocked open by several guards covered in black and red blood. Seeing this scene, Kalia screamed in fright and stepped back several steps at once. , almost collapsed on the ground, she is just an ordinary princess, where has she seen such a scene?

"Found it, the princess is here!"

When a sharp-eyed palace guard saw Kalia standing in the distance holding a wreath, he immediately yelled.

Afterwards, more guards began to pour in, and then, a big man who looked at the color and decoration of the armor showed that he was the adjutant of the guard commander. on the ground.

"Princess Kalia! Run! Alsace, he just killed the king! He also killed all the ministers! He, he is no longer the original prince! He is a monster now! He is about to kill here , princess! We cover you, run away!"

The adjutant ran up to Kalia in a few strides, knelt down on one knee, bowed briefly, then stood up again immediately, and reported loudly in the most anxious tone.

"What?!" Kalia felt her head suddenly twitching, almost spinning.

how can that be? Isn't today the day of Alsace's triumph? Today should be a happy day, why did he kill his father? What reason does he have to do this? impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could her brother Arthas do such a thing?

Kalia was very unwilling to believe this fact, she was more willing to believe that it was the soldiers in front of her who were launching a mutiny, and they wanted to hold her hostage!

Yes, it must be so! Her heroic Alsace brother couldn't do something like kill the king, that's absolutely impossible!

"your Highness!!"

The adjutant yelled again in a hurry, but their Princess Kalia just stood there in a daze, her pale face constantly changing colors.

At this moment, the adjutant was very anxious, but for a while, he didn't dare to be rude to the princess without authorization, so he could only stand there and turn around in a hurry.

"Wow!!"

At this time, the two guards who had been vigilantly guarding outside the garden seemed to be suddenly attacked by some huge force. Then, after a huge wound was directly torn open on their abdomen and armor, they screamed and flew sideways When he got up, he bumped into the grass in the garden, rolled around twice, dragged his intestines all over the floor, twitched twice and stopped moving.

Then, a tall figure slowly appeared at the gate, that is, the original prince of the Kingdom of Lordaeron - Alsace! Beside him, there are also several ferocious monsters, they are ghouls! There are also two unknown big spiders!

"You stop them for me!" The adjutant sighed inwardly, and after giving orders to several guards, he turned around again.

"Your Royal Highness, I've offended you!" After finishing speaking, without waiting for any reaction from the other party, he leaned over, carried Kalia on his majestic shoulders, and ran towards the back door of the garden with all his strength. and go.

Several guards covered the adjutant and the princess and ran back, while the others turned around silently. After they looked at each other for a while, they simultaneously raised the elite palace-made steel that was still stained with blood in their hands. sword.

"Long live Lordaeron!!!"

After raising their weapons and yelling, the guards pulled down their helmets and frantically charged towards Alsace and the monsters who were about to enter the garden gate...

Alsace.....

Kalia, who was carried on the shoulders by the adjutant of the guard, looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure at the garden gate with tears in her eyes.

That was her younger brother Alsace, but it seems that he is not anymore... His once beautiful long golden hair has turned pale, his charming and handsome face has also turned purple, and there is still a trace of evil in the corner of his mouth. laugh…..

On his dark and ferocious long sword, drops of bright red blood were sliding down...

He really killed his father...

He really isn't her brother anymore...

why is this...

The half-finished hero wreath finally slipped from Kalia's left hand without a sound. At the same time, her crystal tears fell on the ground together...

In the distance, at the gate of the garden, the figure that seemed a little confused under her tears began to become more and more unfamiliar in Kalia's mind...becoming more and more terrifying...

"Hmph! Catch them! Kill her!"

This was the last sound Kalia heard after being carried out of the small door by the guards.

It was this familiar voice that shattered the last fluky fantasy in her heart. At this moment, her heart shattered into countless pieces...

In the end, how Kalia escaped from the King City of Lordaeron, she didn't know, and she didn't want to know! All she knew was that when she regained consciousness again, she had already appeared in a remote cabin north of Barnier Farm.

However, she was not safe at the time. Because, before they had time to rest for a long time, she vaguely heard the guards say that more undead began to gather outside!

Then, the last thing Kalia remembered was that she was stuffed into a big wooden cabinet by the adjutant, and pushed down and pushed under the bed to cover some rags, they rushed out shouting loudly, they The shouts of killing are getting farther and farther away...

Since that day, she has never seen them again, and she doesn't even know who they are or what their names are. The last time she saw them from the gap in the wooden cabinet, there were only a few blood-stained Armor, fearless back...

Kalia didn't know how long she stayed in the wooden cabinet, maybe one day, maybe two days...

She curled up inside without saying a word, neither afraid nor thought of going out by herself, she just lay there quietly, letting the seemingly unstoppable flowing water fill her cheeks and soak her face. her shoulders...

Until... On that rainy afternoon, a strange undead found her from here, and gently carried her out of the wooden cabinet. He said his name was - Faol, Alonsus Faol...
