Chapter 78: Calia Menethil

Calia Menethil, the eldest daughter of Terenas Menethil II, the old king of Lordaeron, is also the biological sister of the death knight Arthas.

After the Kingdom of Lordaeron was conquered by the Scourge, Calia Menethil was not in Lordaeron City at that time. As a priest, she happened to be in the Monastery of Light in the northeast corner of Tirisfal Forest, which is now the Scarlet Monastery.

After that, Tirisfal Forest completely became a purgatory on earth ravaged by the Scourge, and Calia Menethil also hid away. Not long ago, she was met by Alonsus Faol who had gained free will.

In the Scarlet Monastery, Garin officially met Calia Menethil, the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

In Garin's memory, he had also seen Calia, but at that time Calia was still a cheerful and lively girl, while now Calia Menethil is already a graceful woman.

Jialiya Menethil is very beautiful. It is no exaggeration to call her as beautiful as a fairy. Her handsome face, plump figure, and the unconcealable nobleness and sadness caused by the destruction of the country and the family give people a pitiful feeling, which makes Garin a little absent-minded.

Just like that, Garin stared at Jialiya Menethil, and the other party turned away embarrassedly.

General Varokal, who was still Garin's confidant and had been awarded the rank of general, naturally stepped forward and took the initiative to say, "My King Garin was so happy to see Princess Jialiya safe and sound that he was a little stunned. I hope Princess Jialiya understands."

Even if Garin was stunned because of Jialiya's safety, it was completely because he was obsessed with such a beautiful person who saw it for the first time.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Princess Jialiya, I made you laugh. By the Holy Light, the news that you are still alive will surely boost the confidence of all Lordaeron people." Garin followed General Varokal's words and once again sighed in his heart that it was great to have a confidant who understood him so well.

Hearing Garin's words, Princess Jialiya's heart warmed up. Her originally sad expression rarely showed a smile. She said in a pleasant voice, "Thank you for your concern, King Garin. Your actions have spread throughout the Eastern Kingdom. Compared with me who did nothing, you are the hero in the hearts of all people."

"This is what I should do, Princess Jialiya. At this time when all the living in the Eastern Kingdom are facing disaster, someone must take on all this, but it happens to be me." Only humility can gain the recognition of a woman. If you are too arrogant, then even if you have talent, you will be hated by the other party.

"You are still too modest, King Garin."

Garin talked with Princess Jialiya for a long time. The two were almost the same age. In addition, Garin's humorous personality and the safe environment of the Scarlet Monastery made the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Lordaeron very comfortable and relaxed.

"It's late, Princess Jialiya, maybe we can continue to talk in detail tomorrow. I think you haven't had a good rest since the outbreak of the natural disaster. Now you can have a good sleep. My warriors will deal with all enemies."

"You are so considerate, King Garin. I really should rest for a long time. With you and your warriors, I feel very safe."

After sending Princess Jialiya to rest, Garin rubbed his head and thought alone.

The appearance of Princess Jialiya can be said to have disrupted his plan. Originally, Jialiya Menethil and Alonsus Faol would not appear until more than ten years later.

Garin had intended to seize the opportunity of the Kingdom of Lordaeron losing its heir and make the refugees of the Kingdom of Lordaeron completely return to him, but the appearance of Princess Jia Liya made it impossible for him to easily complete the plan of annexing the Kingdom of Lordaeron even if he had Strom'kar.

General Varokal saw Garin's worry, so he slowly walked over and whispered, "My king, this may not be a difficulty, but an opportunity."

"What do you mean, Varokal?" Garin asked Varokal in confusion. As his confidant, General Varokal knew his determination to unify the human kingdom and rebuild the Arathor Empire.

"My king, think about it carefully. Terenas Menethil has only two children, and Arthas has become an enemy hated by all the living. Then the only one who has the right of succession to the Kingdom of Lordaeron is Princess Jia Liya."

General Varokal's words made Garin nod his head. This is indeed the case, but what is the opportunity?

Seeing that Garin still didn't understand, General Varokal continued, "Princess Jialiya has not married yet, and she is still single, and my king, you are the same."

Garin suddenly realized, yes! The inheritance of the Kingdom of Lordaeron lies with Jialiya Menethil, and Jialiya Menethil is not a prince, but a princess, so the person who marries Princess Jialiya can directly inherit the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

So far, Garin Trollbane has not married either, so as long as he marries Jialiya Menethil, wouldn't it be natural for him to become the king of both the Kingdom of Stormgarde and the Kingdom of Lordaeron at the same time? In addition, the Trollbane family's strong claim to Alterac, three of the seven kingdoms of mankind will fall into his hands in an instant.

"You are right, Varokal."

This may be a thought with interests, but Garin, who talked with Princess Jialiya for half a day, really liked the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, both in terms of appearance and personality.

Now that her country has been destroyed and her family has been destroyed, Princess Calia Menethil is the most vulnerable and in need of help. As long as Garin can keep Princess Calia by his side and treat the people of the Kingdom of Lordaeron well, I believe Princess Calia will be willing to accept him.

Just as Garin figured it out, Alexandros Mograine came to visit late at night.

"What's the matter, Lord Alexandros?" Garin asked Alexandros Mograine, who came late at night, in confusion.

Lord Alexandros knelt on one knee and gave Garin the best courtesy. He said in a deep voice, "There is indeed one thing, King Garin, please allow me to lead the Scarlet Crusade to pledge allegiance to you."

"Pledge allegiance to me? Princess Calia is resting in a room near me. Lord Alexandros, you should pledge allegiance to her."

"My king, since you are willing to lead the warriors of the Kingdom of Stormgarde, resolutely abandon the past conflicts, and help the Kingdom of Lordaeron, I have already recognized you. You, after seeing the spirit of Emperor Thoradin, I understand that you are the future emperor. I am willing to lead the Scarlet Crusade to pledge allegiance to you, and I only hope that you can treat Princess Jialiya well. "

Alexandros Mograine had decided to pledge allegiance to Galen in the Tomb of Tyr before, and the appearance of Princess Jialiya forced him to speed up the process. Although he had decided to pledge allegiance to Galen and the Kingdom of Stormgarde, he was a Lordaeron after all, and the appearance of Princess Jialiya would inevitably stop Galen from joining the human countries.

He decided to use the Scarlet Crusade and his early allegiance in exchange for Princess Jialiya's protection from the Kingdom of Stormgarde, without any accidents due to political struggles. After all, politics is the darkest, and he understands this.
