Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Princess Calia opened her eyes on time the next morning. As a devout believer in the Holy Light, she had to get up at this time to pray.

Of course, this is not required.

Even for clergy, Holy Light Church does not stipulate how many times a day they must pray.

However, since the Holy Optical Sect that Princess Calia studied belongs to the classical sect, which is similar to asceticism and spiritual practice, these rules are relatively strict.

Her Highness the Princess did not choose a religious faction arbitrarily, mainly because the past events had caused a great psychological shadow on her. She must rely on "clear rules and precepts" to ensure that her heart is pure and she can get rid of the nightmares of the past as soon as possible.

This doctrinal school is the school where Pope Fa'ao comes from. In addition, Pope Fa'ao has regarded Jalia as his disciple, so this can be regarded as some kind of inheritance.

But things are different today.

When Her Royal Highness the Princess opened her eyes, she realized that something was not right. The roof and ceiling in front of her didn't look like her residence in Stormwind City. She remembered that she had spent the night at the Lion's Pride Inn last night.

Thinking of this, Princess Calia immediately stood up, took off the quilt and took a look, and then curled her lips slightly happily and slightly disappointedly.

She was wearing pajamas.

This shows that Blake was very well-behaved last night, so well-behaved that he didn't look like a wild pirate.

But Her Royal Highness the Princess then shook her head. The headache that she always had after waking up due to nightmares in the past miraculously disappeared today.

She didn't remember the nightmare she had last night about Deathwing, or about being turned into a pig in heat and being fed into the butcher's meat grinder.

"You slept very well last night, and you even snored. It was so noisy that I couldn't fall asleep until midnight."

Black's voice came from the window, causing the princess to look up and see Black, who had changed into the pirate captain's uniform and was putting his pirate trench coat on his body.

The pirate's joke and eye contact made Her Royal Highness quickly lower her head, her heart pounding wildly.

Although nothing happened in a practical sense, the two did sleep in the same bed for one night. For a princess with a strict upbringing like her, this was basically the same as having a private life and having a child out of wedlock. The equal sign is drawn.

Is this a big step forward in cultivating relationships?

"Take care of yourself. Those royal guards and paladins outside the door have had a hard time guarding you all night. You are a princess who believes in the Holy Light. You cannot add extra burden to the warriors who are loyal to their duties."

Blake put his magic backpack on the cool belt decorated with skulls. He picked up the black pirate hat next to the bed and put it on his head. He said to Calia, who was a little at a loss:

"In their eyes, your staying out last night probably confirmed that there was some drama between you and me that the public would like to see. Maybe you should expect them to talk more.

In less than two days, your identity will be labeled as belonging to me.

Maybe those foul-mouthed and vicious guys in Northern Xinjiang will say that you became a 'pirate's plaything' after becoming a 'dragon's slut', and your already bad reputation will become even worse.

But this is your choice, Your Highness. "

The pirate leaned down and reached out to tidy up Calia's long, messy hair. He looked at those eyes and couldn't help but move his eyes down to the very healthy bust of this very ladylike princess. .

Damn it

Is this really a "broad mind" that a pure-blood human can have?

Xal'atath is no match for you in human form, my lord.

"Where are you looking?"

The princess asked with some shame and anger, and pulled the quilt to cover the chest of her pajamas. As a result, she got a look from Blake. The pirate played with his pipe and said maliciously:

"As a good wife, when your future husband appreciates you, shouldn't you put on a seductive posture to let your husband appreciate you better!

I'm kidding, don't take it off, okay?

I don't mean to ask you to be obedient. I am not interested in slaves at all, so relax and take a deep breath. Yes, that's it. "

Blake reached out and clasped Princess Calia's trembling hand.

He keenly discovered the difference between the princess in front of him and his other three tough wives. She was very dignified and decent in front of outsiders, but when she got along with him, she was like a little white rabbit, always They are all in a state of being threatened by hungry wolves.

In fact, Blake discovered this during the last conversation on the Nagfar. Princess Caliya's body could not help but tremble every time her eyes came into contact.

Could it be that the handsome image of a pirate is very scary to this princess?

Isn't it?

"Besides, our relationship isn't that close yet."

Blake stood up and helped Her Royal Highness put on her coat in a very gentlemanly manner. He said:

"You said it, cultivate it slowly. I hope we still have enough time. Well, I won't see you off. I'm going to Blackstone Mountain. Let's say goodbye here."

"Um."

Princess Calia nodded and watched as the pirate opened the window and disappeared before her eyes.

She didn't know why, but she felt a little lost. It seemed that after the pirates left, the "protected" feeling in her heart suddenly disappeared.

The headache that had not occurred before also had some faint signs.

But Black conducted a pathological examination on her last night after she fell asleep, and it can be determined that Princess Calia is very healthy, except for a slight malnutrition caused by her restraint on food to maintain her figure.

So this headache is probably a psychological problem.

This is not Dr. Black's area of ​​expertise.

Unless his future legal wife risked going crazy and agreed to let Black use void magic to perform a deep mental treatment on her mind, he would have to rely on Calia to overcome it on her own.

She got up from the bed and planned to wash up. Just as she picked up her toothbrush, Black's voice suddenly sounded behind her again. The returning pirate asked warmly:

"Although it has been a long time, you are still afraid of the black dragon, right?"

"Ah, yes."

The princess was startled, but nodded in agreement.

She saw Blake appearing like a ghost in the mirror in front of her, and she felt restless for some reason. When the pirate was about to leave again, the princess suddenly turned around and pulled him, stood on tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek.

As if forcing an explanation, she said:

"This is a tradition in Lordaeron, to express blessing when the husband leaves home"

"Huh? Why didn't I know that Lordaeron had such a tradition?"

Blake looked at her in surprise, shook his head, and leaned down to kiss Her Royal Highness the Princess on her forehead. He said:

"I'll tell Xal'atath to stop playing the nightmare game. You can sleep well and eat more. I don't like girls with fat figures.

But don't overeat, or I will break off the engagement if you become the Kul Tiras mother. "

After leaving behind this bad pirate joke, Blake really left this time, but Her Royal Highness the Princess also smiled. She even hummed a hymn to complete the process of washing and changing clothes.

After repeatedly confirming in front of the mirror that her figure seemed a bit too slender, the princess decided to adjust her daily diet.

But when she was putting on her hunting clothes and preparing to leave, she looked at the standard double bed in the hotel. Although such a bed was considered luxurious according to the rules of the hotel, it was a bit too shabby for Her Royal Highness.

There are no gemstone decorations or gold inlaid patterns, and the woodblock prints carved on the bedside are also very clumsy.

But Her Royal Highness the Princess still made a surprising decision.

She let herself be filled with worry. The maid, who had slept in the next room in fear for the whole night, called the innkeeper, pointed to the mediocre bed, and said:

"I want to buy it, ship it to Lordaeron, and I will pay for all the expenses along the way. There is only one requirement: it must not be damaged in any way during transportation.

I will place it in my bedroom. "

"this"

Rao is the owner of the Lion King's Pride Hotel, and his family has been running the hotel for three generations, but this middle-aged, fat owner has also encountered such outrageous demands.

The boss, who was "invited" out of the hotel last night and had to spend the night in the stables, so he had no idea what was going on here, asked cautiously:

"Your Highness, it is an honor for me and my family that you like the bed in the hotel. We cannot ask for compensation for it. I will arrange for my nephew who works at Wharton Trading Company to contact a ship to transport this bed for you as soon as possible. .

But out of curiosity, can I ask why?

It was really just an ordinary bed custom-made on the old Sardine farm in the wild west. "

Her Royal Highness could have not answered this question, but after a few seconds, she brushed her hair, put on her lady's wide-brimmed hat, and whispered with a hint of inexplicable pleasure:

"Maybe it's because it's been blessed by the Holy Light. Lying on this bed makes me feel at ease. Oh, by the way, there's also a tub in the bathroom. Let's pack it away too."

After that, the princess politely said goodbye to the knight captain beside her, and left here under the escort of the royal guards. The maid who waited until the princess left before yawning shook her head helplessly.

She handed a bag of gold coins to the innkeeper and asked him to keep silent about all these "royal secrets", otherwise he would get into trouble from the royal family of Lordaeron.

After everything was settled, the fat boss looked at the gold coins in his hand that were enough to buy his hotel, and then looked at the ordinary bed behind him.

He had the intention to lie down on it and try to see if it would be comfortable to fall asleep, but in the end he didn't have the guts.

When arranging for people to move this lucky bed that was favored by the princess, the hotel owner had a sudden idea and decided to change the name of this luxury box.

He changed it to "Her Royal Highness Calia said she felt at ease in the room blessed by the Holy Light after sleeping in it", and then tripled the price of the private room to use it to defraud the enemy.

Ha, the plan works!

However, before the boss was ready to carry out his money-making plan, the previous royal maid came back again, dropped another bag of gold coins, and told the boss about the latest decree conveyed by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

That private room will be exclusively used by the royal family of Lordaeron until the death of Her Highness Calia and her future husband. If it dares to sublet it to other people, if Lordaeron officials or Uncrowded agents find out, they will kill the whole family. Oh my dear.

Well, the money-making plan was ruined, and the profit that a private room could generate in the future was permanently lost, which made the fat boss cry without tears.

He grinned from ear to ear in pain.

Apparently the two large bags of gold coins in front of him were enough to "somewhat" make up for his hurt heart.

——

Black, who had already ridden the sky to the Burning Plains, naturally didn't know what "prodigal woman" Calia had done without telling him, but the pirates probably wouldn't be interested in asking if they knew about it.

She is the princess of the kingdom with the strongest comprehensive strength in mankind, and she is also the confirmed heir to the throne, although her total wealth is no longer comparable to that of Black.

But if there was a "Wealth Ranking of Princesses from All Countries" in Azeroth, Calia would definitely be on the list, and she would definitely be a strong contender for the top three.

Of course, the top spot on this list is definitely Princess Talanji of the Golden Dynasty of Zandalari. It’s really unnecessary for a princess from the human kingdom to compete with the Golden Dynasty who has “rich” written all over her face.

One-third of the apparent wealth of the kingdom's treasury is enough to buy the entire northern Xinjiang.

If the name of this ranking is "The Beauty Ranking of Princesses from All Countries", then the only ones who can compete with Calia are probably the twin princesses of Kul Tiras.

However, if Prince Kael'thas is willing to "make a small sacrifice" by dressing up as a woman to compete, then Calia will have no advantage.

If the name of this ranking is changed again to "Princess Bust Ranking of Various Countries", then all the rankings from second to tenth place will be pinned to the ground by Calia and rubbed repeatedly.

In short, in terms of overall strength, having Calia Menethil serve as Black Shaw's "junior" is not an insult to the Demon of Thousand Tongues.

As for how to explain to his three wives after returning home, Blake also had a headache.

Maiev definitely doesn't care.

The priestess repeatedly instilled in Black the crazy idea that she didn't care what Black was doing outside, but Sephiel had seen a lot of bronze dragons, so she probably wouldn't care much.

The only difficult one is Xal'atath

If the stinky pirate doesn't want to hear the news that Princess Calia died suddenly and mysteriously in her dream in a few days, he really needs to think carefully about his words.

But it's a safe bet that the entire Proudmoore family will be very happy after the dirty stories about his and Princess Calia's "one night in Goldshire" get out.

At least Lady Catherine and old Dai Lin will be very happy.

Oops, I have a daughter-in-law who is normal and understands the general context.

Finna, the only idiot who can have a little temper, is still sleeping in the Hall of Valor.

It will probably take some time for her to wake up. Everyone will have gone to Argus by then, and there can't be any outrageous things like slashing her own commander with a knife on the battlefield.

With these troublesome thoughts in mind, Black drove the sky quickly and accurately to land on a mountain sentry on the upper level of Blackstone Tower, and slipped into Red's chief's hall without alerting anyone.

As soon as he came in, Blake saw the plump Red, wearing only an orc robe, lying hummingly in the arms of an orc "beauty".

There was a beautiful orc beside him feeding him grapes.

The two maids behind him kept fanning him, and the desk next to him that was supposed to be stacked with documents was filled with all kinds of food and wine. This guy almost had the words "wine pool and meat forest" carved on his forehead.

Seeing how he was moaning comfortably and sometimes moving his hands and feet, Blake was really angry!

Ah, you are asked to command the orthodox tribe here, why are you just fishing? Don’t even look at what the black dragon has done! I have to go through Princess Moira to get news about them.

You dog Red really deserves a beating.

Well, speaking of Princess Moira, Blake's drinking buddy, the order of the "Azeroth Princesses Wealth Ranking" just now should be changed.

The first place is Talanji, the second place is Moira, and the third place is Calia. If Jaina inherits her brother's terrifying wealth in the future, she may jump to first or second place. name.

Wait, it seems that the two ladies of the Yuejun family, who have tens of thousands of years of wealth, His Highness Xiao Xingxing, and His Highness Melinsela are also eligible to participate.

There are also two daughters of Stone Mother.

Well, it will be very challenging to sort out the rankings in this ranking.

Wait, what was the reason for my anger just now?

Oops, that's the bad thing about becoming an Ancient God. This often wild mind sometimes gets out of control and becomes a little too active.

But anyway!

Red, the free-for-all whore dog!

I have tolerated you for a long time!

Die!
