With the business done, Sharlayan wanted to return to Quel'Thalas as soon as possible to continue assisting in the reform process.
But Jaina, who had reunited after a long separation, coquettishly pulled Sharlayan and asked him to stay in Dalaran for one more day and accompany her to the market to purchase some experimental materials.
Sarlayan turned his eyes to Antonidas in distress. The old speaker showed a rare joking smile, shrugged and said, "Don't look at me. You should know Jaina's bad temper better than I do."
"This child usually studies too hard. It's just a good time for her to go out to relax and change her thoughts. Maybe she can get some good inspiration."
"Hey~"
Under Jaina's pitiful gaze, Sarlayan still relented.
"Okay, just one day, there are still many things in the country waiting for me to go back and deal with."
"Great!"
Seeing Jaina cheering for joy, Stellagosa rolled her eyes without any trace.
Onyxia looked at Jaina playfully, and saw the triumphant look in her eyes.
"Haha~ The little girl's little tricks are still too young. That means Salay'an is soft, otherwise it would not be so easy to succeed."
Stella Gosa smiled nonchalantly: "Forget it, let her go. This time we say goodbye, I don't know what year or month it will be next time we meet."
Onyxia raised her eyebrows slightly: "Aren't you afraid that Valeera will lose her temper when she finds out?"
A hint of cunning flashed in Stellagosa's eyes: "Valeera is Valeera, and I am me. I can't control what she thinks, so just take care of yourself."
Onyxia laughed and shook her head: "You guys... forget it, this is quite interesting. Maybe Valeera's expression will be wonderful when she learns about this."
…
Sarlayan agreed to Jaina's request out of doting on his sister.
The trees were still but the wind was still blowing. From Jaina's point of view, this shopping trip was a rare date.
Girls' feelings are always poetry, and Gianna's heart is stirring when she enters adolescence.
Normally, she could still use her hard study to suppress the budding heart of a girl. After many days, she reunited with her brother Sarlayan, and the emotions that had been suppressed deep in her heart finally burst out.
In the early morning of the next day, while Sharlayan was still reading the report sent by Valeela from the territory, Jaina couldn't wait to come to the door.
"So early?"
After looking at Jaina who was carefully dressed without any trace, Sarlayan looked at the sky that was not yet bright with a strange expression.
"The market isn't open yet, right?"
Sharlayan, who has dragon blood, does not need a long sleep. Last night, he was vigilant and avoided Onyxia's night attack and woke up early.
He originally thought that Gianna would come after a while, but he didn't expect Xiao Nizi to be so impatient.
The robes that Jaina usually wears are plain in style and color. I heard that they are for the convenience of conducting experiments.
The pragmatic Jaina didn't like those coquettish female mages very much, and dismissed their fancy hair robes.
But today, for the first time, she chose a high-slit printed hair gown that she would never wear before, and she also wore a gorgeous butterfly-shaped jewelry on her bright blond hair.
The naturally beautiful Gianna is at the most rosy age in her life. She can attract the attention of many men without any extra makeup.
[Ah... cheongsam? 】
[No, the upper body is not as close-fitting as the cheongsam, but the design concept is similar. 】
【Oh my god! At only 14 years old, he is already so well-proportioned. He is truly gifted. 】
[Fortunately, I didn’t take advantage of the two idiots, otherwise it will be a nonsense in the future. 】
[God is so stupid, I laughed at him so early in the morning. 】
"Um……"
Saryan thought about it, and in order to prevent underage girls from making mistakes after watching too many barrages, he chose to turn on the shame-blocking function of the live broadcast system.
【? ? ? 】
【Black screen! 】
【Gan! Xiao Sa wants to eat alone! 】
【Open the door! You have the guts to flirt with girls, but don’t have the guts to open the door? 】
[Hey, let me tell you something, Sarlayan is probably the one being flirted with. 】
【Ah Xing! Brothers, report and start! 】
[It’s been almost a year, who can shut down this live broadcast room? Reporting is useless, just bear with it. 】
【Hmph ah ah ah ah ah! Let me Kang Kang Loli Gianna! It will expire in two years! 】
[…Police uncle, that’s who he is. 】
[What a smelly lolicon. 】
Saryan, who temporarily shut down the live broadcast, can no longer see the barrage.
It was still early and the market must not have opened yet. Sarlayan asked Jaina to sit in the embassy for a while and wait until dawn before going shopping.
From an angle that Sharlayan didn't see, Jaina showed a proud smile as if her plan had succeeded, but little did she know that all of her performance fell into the eyes of the two onlookers on the second floor.
"Tsk tsk~ What did I say yesterday?"
Onyxia said to the little star beside her with a half-smile: "Although this girl is still young and her methods are still immature, the most important thing is that she dares to take action boldly. This alone is better than you and Vali Pull strong.”
"...Shut up, I haven't settled the accounts with you for what happened last night."
Sarlayan is not stupid, he knows why Jaina came so early.
But his feelings for the little princess were really just that of a brother to his sister, and he was quite troubled by Jaina's active enthusiasm, so he could only put it aside.
Seeing that it was getting brighter, Sarlayan, who was on pins and needles, finally took Jaina out of the embassy.
Stellagosa put one hand on the fence on the second floor and supported her chin: "Oni, what do you think?"
"How can I watch? I stand and watch."
"Don't be poor, you know what I mean."
Onyxia spread her hands: "At least until now, Sarlayan does still regard that girl as his sister. Are you satisfied?"
…
In the two years since diplomatic relations with Quel'Thalas were severed, Dalaran lost many high-end goods provided by Quel'Thalas, and Dalaran's market fell into a depression. It was not until diplomatic relations with Quel'Thalas were restored that the old outlook gradually returned.
Along the way, Sarlayan saw many specialties from Quel'Thalas in the major shops in the market, as well as many special products from other countries that were difficult to buy in Quel'Thalas.
Just like the engineering products made by the gnomes of Gnomeregan.
These items are considered unstable and dangerous in Quel'Thalas and cannot be put on the shelves.
Dalaran does not have this restriction. As long as the buyer and seller agree on the risks of use in advance, Dalaran officials will not have any objections.
It was said that she was purchasing experimental materials, but Jaina had never purchased anything. She held Sarlayan's arm and shuttled back and forth between various stores, telling him emotionally about her family's shortcomings.
"Brother Sarlayan, you have been to Boralus before. You should have met Priscilla who assists your mother in government affairs, right?"
Sarlayan smiled and nodded: "Well, he is a very smart and capable person. When His Majesty Daelin is away, he helps Queen Catherine keep the country in order."
Jaina curled her lips noncommittally: "Priscilla has been doing nothing since she married into the Ashvan family. Not long after Lord Ashvan passed away unfortunately, she suddenly revealed that she was pregnant with the late Lord Ashvan's child. Posthumous child.”
"oh?"
Sarlayan's eyes flashed, and he finally lowered his head and looked directly into Jaina's eyes.
Jaina smiled and tilted her head: "Brother Sarlayan, do you understand what I mean? That child actually has no blood relationship with Lord Ashvane."
Sarlayan nodded thoughtfully: 'Let the illegitimate son born from your lover inherit the Ashvane family's family business? Dai Lin is also quite good at playing. '
"Even my old-fashioned father can keep lovers...Brother Sarlayan, are all men eating from the bowl and looking at the pot like this?"
"Uh~"
This proposition made Sarlayan look a little embarrassed, and now he regretted turning off the barrage.
"Ahem~ It depends on the person. In fact, it's not just men who like new and exciting things. There are also many female dragons in the dragon clan who have reverse harems."
"Hehe~"
Jaina let go of Sharlayan and took a step forward, clasping her hands behind her back and looking into his eyes.
"I'm not blaming you. In my opinion, as long as you don't like the new and hate the old, and always give up, outsiders have no right to make irresponsible remarks on other people's emotional problems under the premise of mutual consent."
'...Girl, your thoughts are very dangerous. '
Just as Sarlayan was thinking about how to reply, Jaina suddenly changed the subject.
"By the way, did you see my stupid brother when you went to Boralus this time?"
"Tandre?" Sarlayan borrowed the donkey down the slope and said, "I've seen him before. That boy has grown up to be a tough guy, and his appearance is more and more like your father."
Jaina smiled mysteriously: "Brother Sharlayan, do you think...Tandre has the potential to inherit the throne and continue to lead Kul Tiras to grow?"
