Chapter 743 63. Anna's Diary. Honeymoon Time

Dark Gate August 14, 2017, it was sunny, and I was in a good mood today.

This is the 4th day of my honeymoon with Alsace in the Commonwealth. Maybe I should thank the goblin in Booty Bay for the recommendation. I had already left that place yesterday, but in the turbulence of the steam train, it was also very interesting for the two of us to lean on the chair and repeatedly watch the magical photos that Alsace and I took there.

I still remember when I was a child, my father would often take me and Tenred to go hunting in the snow outside Boralus. At that time, as a child, I would always be happy when I saw my father hit the prey with a shotgun I clap my hands, but now that I think about it, maybe hunting is not the best entertainment for children. After spending a few days in Lynn Park, I have a new idea.

Perhaps we should build a similar playground for my children at the court of New Lordaeron, before my and Arthas' children are born.

Ferris wheel, roller coaster, those spinning ponies that float up and down, those dizzying delicacies and snacks, in those few days in Linjing Paradise, I seemed to have thrown away all the burdens, as if I had completely returned to my childhood when I was young. .

But... maybe that's just my mind beautifying the memory of the past. After all, I have been learning magic from my tutor in Dalaran since I was 11 years old, and before that, I was still studying in the court of Boralus Noble etiquette.

When I was a teenager, I lacked freedom and joy.

When I was young, the world changed drastically, and it was not until the last few years that I gradually settled down. The happy time is as short as the tail of a rabbit in my eyes. To be honest, I don’t want my children to spend the same heavy life as me. I believe that Alsace also thinks so.

Of course, if it wasn’t for the residency in Lynn’s Land, I would never have known that my goofy, manly husband would have such a childish side. I enjoy the kind of happiness that belongs to civilians more. He will take me to ride rides that look dangerous but actually bring people a relaxing experience.

Every night, falling asleep together in the forest spirit hut full of natural style is a real life that we have never experienced. After stripping politics, war and power, ordinary days are so fascinating. Of course, as A mage, I also found a lot of interesting things in the Zul'Gurub ruins of the Gurubashi trolls.

For example, about the grievances and hatred between the Gurubashi trolls and the mysterious blood god Hakkar, such as the origin and research of the cultural customs of the trolls in Stranglethorn Vale, these are only the real ones seen in the exhibition hall of the ancient city of Zul'Gurub. Troll ancient artifacts, enough for me to write 5 good papers, maybe published in the "Dalaran Mages Daily", which will win me some more praise, although that is too much for me now. It doesn't make sense anymore.

And the generous exhibition of these cultural relics also made me deeply feel the terrible inclusiveness of the federal culture...

Varian and I have been good friends for many years. From him, I have learned a lot about the grievances between the Stormwind Kingdom and the Gurubashi trolls. As early as decades ago, King Lane also launched a crusade against the trolls. The two sides have been enemies of each other since hundreds of years ago.

But now, the ancient heritage of the Gurubashi trolls is grandly exhibited on the land of the Federation. Even the trolls in the ancient city of Zul'Gurub have residence certificates issued by the Federation.

According to my superficial research on the development history of the Federation, at least in the land of Stranglethorn Vale, the existing troll clans are basically believers of the Blightcaller Sect. The Ruy Sect does not hide their neutrality at all. As they themselves said, in their eyes, there is no difference between the human empire and the federal government. They will communicate and cooperate with both sides at the same time, but they will not participate in the disputes between the two sides.

Arthas and I have witnessed the dominance of the Blightcaller sect on this land. In the subtle image of their peaceful teachings, the local trolls have submitted to the federal government the proposal to join the federal civilization for several years. application and got approval...

However, the Federation did not rule the land of Stranglethorn Vale with a powerful posture. On the contrary, they handed over the land to the Blightcaller and the trolls for self-management, and only stationed administrative and taxation agencies belonging to the Federal government here.

It is said that the official title given to Stranglethorn Valley by the Federal Supreme Council is "Gurubashi Troll Autonomous Region", which is now a federal territory under the federal government.

The complex political system does not need to be elaborated, but at least for the citizens of the Federation, the barbaric trolls who were once immortal have become the real "own people".

Walking on the historical city streets of Zul'Gurub, Arthas and I often see the citizens of the Federation and the trolls at the street stalls bargaining in weird languages ​​to buy some troll-style souvenirs, while On the relatively tidy streets, there are also troll sheriffs in black uniforms patrolling back and forth. They wear the emblem of the federal government on their bodies, representing that they are out-and-out "public officials" .

Out of curiosity, when we left Stranglethorn Vale, Alsace inquired some information in the city hall of Zul'Gurub as an investment businessman. According to those information, in the past two years, the The savage place, Stranglethorn Valley, has become an increasingly popular "resort" for federal citizens.

It is said that the Goblin Dark Blade Consortium, which cooperates closely with the federal government, is preparing to invest a huge amount of money to build a sightseeing coast on the island south of Booty Bay, both to meet the increasingly prosperous entertainment needs of the federal people...

This is almost an impossible scenario in the empire, because even if we don’t want to admit it, the civilians under the empire are exhausted from working daily to support themselves and their families under the strange tax items of the nobles, 80% The civilian population has no "entertainment needs" at all.

I still clearly remember the solemn expression on my husband Alsace's face when we left this land on the steam train from Zul'Gurub to the Twilight Federation. Our honeymoon trip has just begun, and I Both my husband and I felt the pressure.

From the perspective of a pure traveler, the three days in Stranglethorn Vale were perfect, but from the perspective of the king of a kingdom under the Human Empire, just the political system and taxation structure of Stranglethorn Vale gave us a lot of thinking.

Ugh...I'm starting to hate the trip now...but not because the honeymoon wasn't perfect.

It's just that I feel more and more that the purpose of Brother Varian suggesting that Alsace and I come to the Commonwealth for our honeymoon may not be that simple.

———————————————

Dark Gate August 17, 2017, overcast, Arthas and I attended a local gentleman's charity party as guests yesterday.

Charity gatherings, this is not a concept unique to the Federation. There are similar receptions in the human empire. Often after a natural or man-made disaster occurs in a certain area, the nobles here invite other nobles to "spend their money" to help the lord spend his money difficulties.

When I was a child, my father, King Dailin, would often attend this kind of party, and occasionally he would hold it himself, but in his words, it was a party of "greedy vampires", which shows that the nobles of the empire are very fond of this kind of party. To be honest, Arthas and I didn't want to attract attention.

However, according to the manager Junker who received us here, who belonged to Lucille and Alexander's firm, this kind of reception is not hosted by the federal government, but by local gentry. It is very beneficial for our business operations to build good relationships among gentlemen.

Uh, after all, Alsace and I came to the Federation under the guise of being investors from Kul Tiras, so we couldn't refuse Mr. Junker's kindness. That night, Alsace and I put on formal attire, Go to the town hall of the Dusk Federation for that reception.

But there was a little accident in this process...

Even though Alsace and I have disguised ourselves as locals as much as possible, some habits of the empire still stubbornly affect us. That night I wore a suit that I thought was not luxurious and not eye-catching, with a Kurti Lars style white and blue long dress, while my Alsace is wearing a small Lordaeron style dress for meeting guests, such clothes are already very simple for the two of us...

But it still caused a "sensation" at the charity reception of the Twilight Federation.

In short, Alsace and I became the most eye-catching "stars" at the reception, all the ladies tried to talk to my Alsace, and there were always a lot of federal gentry around me.. .Until then, we realized that the common clothes used by the high-ranking nobles of the empire were indeed a bit too luxurious and attention-grabbing for the federal gentry.

Although these participants have accumulated a lot of wealth during the years of rapid development of the Federation, looking back a few years, these gentry are just commoners in the Stormwind Kingdom or Northern Border, some bankrupt minor nobles, most of them are They are not qualified to attend the banquets of great nobles, so in terms of aesthetics and demeanor, the federal people are not as decent as the imperial people.

Although I have used magic to hide the true faces of me and Alsace, the curiosity of the federal gentry towards us still puts us in danger of revealing our identities, so my Alsace had to announce on the spot that he would send a request to a man named "Federal Farm" The organization "Master Union" donated a substantial sum of money to support the construction of three new schools in the Westfall area.

This allowed Alsace and me to finally get the qualification to enter the box and talk to the person in charge, and it also allowed us to get rid of the embarrassing scene where everyone was watching.

In short, last night's banquet was an out-and-out "disaster" for me and Alsace...

Early this morning, when I opened the door, there were 37 expensive bouquets of roses piled up at the door of my room with Alsace. Those were all sent to me by my "admirers", and my Alsace At the front desk of the hotel, he got 23 letters with different perfumes, which were sent by his "admirers".

Although Alsace and I don't like this way of expressing love too straightforwardly, but from the bottom of my heart, every girl likes gifts, and I like them too. A sea of ​​roses, I think my beauty will also be accepted by the federal people... Seriously, this kind of recovered my bad mood.

"boom"

Jaina, who was wearing pajamas and writing a private diary, suddenly turned her head, and saw a tired Alsace walking out of the bathroom in a bathrobe. Invited by several chambers of commerce in the Twilight Federation, today he almost took a quick tour of the large organizations in the entire Twilight Federation.

From his tired expression, it can be seen that today's "travel" has really exhausted Alsace.

Thinking of this, Jaina put down the quill, stood up, brushed her long blond hair, walked to the mechanical refrigerator, took out a bottle of wine and two glasses from it, and handed a glass of wine with ice to the own husband.

"Tired? My Alsace?"

"Fortunately, it's just that the businessmen on the Federation side are too bold and straightforward. They don't have much official rhetoric. Every one of them talks about money naked, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable."

Alsace took a sip of his wine helplessly, looked at his beautiful wife, that perfect body was looming under the tulle pajamas, a spark of fire appeared in Alsace's eyes:

"But if you adapt to this style of communication, it will indeed save a lot of time. To be honest, Anna, if we are really investment merchants from Kul Tiras, this trip will probably be worth a lot of money."

The young king of Lordaeron drank the wine in his hand, stretched his neck, and lay down on the comfortable bed.

"Anna, we are going to Westfall tomorrow, and we will visit the farm of Mr. Satin, the president of the Farmers Association. He invited us on behalf of the farmers in the entire Westfall. We need to see the agricultural development of the Federation. .. But for now, let's put that old man aside."

With an ambiguous smile, Arthas hooked his fingers to his newlywed wife standing by the bed, and Jaina, who had removed the magic disguise, looked even more beautiful under the dim light of the room, with two bruises on her face. Blushing, under the gaze of her husband, she slowly took off her clothes in a shy and seductive gesture.

The body that was as perfect as a goddess of beauty was exposed to Arthas' eyes, and the exhaustion accumulated by the young king all day disappeared. When the four lips of the young man kissed together, the whole world seemed to be on fire.

Oh, the wonderful scene that follows...Let the observers make up their own minds...
