Jaina Proudmoore, the princess of Kul Tiras, the fiancée of Arthas, the speaker of Dalaran and the student of the archmage Antonidas, the genius of frost and space magic, the most famous wizard in Dalaran in recent decades. A young mage who may be able to obtain the title of Archmage at the age of twenty.

Jaina may have many more titles than Arthas, and the princess is also very powerful. At only eighteen years old, she already has strength comparable to that of the Archmage. It's just a matter of commensurate qualifications.

Even if you don't look at all of this, Jaina's appearance and figure can make some nobles regard her as their perfect heart.

It's a pity that famous flowers have owners. The marriage contract between Gianna and Arthas was made by their fathers, not to mention that they have known each other for more than ten years. Who dares to interfere with such a couple? foot?

Arthas, who was only one of the parties involved, was completely surprised when he learned that he and Jaina were engaged. It was true that he and Jaina were childhood sweethearts, but they should never be engaged at this time.

In the six months since he learned the news from his father, Alsace had not had a good night's sleep, not because of excitement, but because of worry and worry.

Who knows whether this marriage that shouldn't have happened will cause those bronze dragons to jump out of the toilet and "recover" themselves? In the original history of Azeroth, although the two were also lovers, they definitely did not have such an engagement!

Fortunately, what Alsace was worried about did not happen in the end. The world he was in seemed to be unattended. If he hadn't learned about the four-color dragon king's siege on the black dragon king Neltharion, he would have even I wonder if Nozdormu, the Bronze Dragon King, was killed.

In the end, this incident also made Alsace realize that he might be able to let go of some of his hands and begin to officially do some things that should not have happened in "correct" history.

Sure enough, the bronze dragon never appeared from the beginning to the end.

However, Arthas did not completely relax his vigilance. He still regarded the bronze dragon as one of the most urgent threats, although these "time managers" seemed to have disappeared in his timeline.

He believed that the Lord of Time should have discovered this unusual timeline long ago, but why Arthas did not send a dragon to correct it was unknown. The guardian dragon kings on Azeroth who have the power of gods all have their own thoughts. It’s hard to fathom.

In other words, in Alsace's view, every one of the dragon kings who guard the dragon is a problem child, and their thinking is completely different from that of normal people.

Of course, Jaina didn't know about Arthas's forward thinking. When she knew how the prince she loved knew about the engagement, she thought that Arthas hated her and didn't want to fulfill the engagement.

The princess of Kul Tiras had been missing for a long time. Just when she thought she would wait for the news from Lordaeron to break off the engagement, it was Arthas who personally found her in Dalaran. Laran stayed with her for nearly a year.

Then the big stone in Jaina's heart fell: it turned out that Arthas was not afraid of this engagement.

Those days were considered one of the best in Jaina's mind. Arthas was not only humorous, but also knowledgeable. During the days when they studied together in Dalaran, Jaina felt much less stressed and learned from him. A lot of knowledge about the world as a whole.

She still remembered one time when she asked Arthas what he thought of the orcs in the shelter.

"Arthas, don't you think those orcs are a little pitiful?"

The orcs imprisoned in the asylum became weak due to the side effects of drinking the blood of demons, and because they were defeated and captured, most of them became depressed and negative. They were no longer the red wave that swept the continent, but a group of A wretch beset by disease and infirmity.

Arthas did not directly break Jaina's sympathy, nor did he directly answer Jaina's question. Instead, he asked, "Then do you hate these orcs?"

"I...should hate them. They brought disaster to this continent. My brother also died in that war..."

Jaina's brother, the eldest prince of Kul Tiras, sank to the bottom of the sea forever with his battleship during a naval battle, and not even his body was found.

The death of her brother in battle made Jaina feel the grief of the loss of her relatives for the first time, and it also stimulated her desire for peace. She began to conduct some research on the orcs, and found that they were not as barbaric as most people imagined. They also had relatives and Family concept.

The education she received made Jaina unable to bear the pain she had suffered on others, even if they were her enemies: when they had already failed, should they really torture them at all costs?

Therefore, she and her father had differences in their views on orcs. She could not accept her father's extreme attitude, and her father did not understand why his daughter had sympathy for orcs.

Jaina's idea seemed naive and foolish to her father. The ruler of Kul Tiras, Admiral Daelin's idea is simple: only dead orcs are good orcs.

"Jaina, hatred is not a good emotion. It will blind your eyes and make you make big mistakes." Arthas may be the most qualified person to say this. "But we can suppress our hatred. But this sentiment must never be abandoned completely.”

"Why?"

"Because hatred also means remembering. If we completely abandon a period of hatred, it also means that we have forgotten history and the past. Then we will make new mistakes and generate new hatreds, and the cycle will continue endlessly."

Arthas held Jaina's hand and said gently to the girl, "Orcs have ruined the beautiful lives of countless people and brought pain and sorrow to countless people. Even if they are forced to do nothing, they should repay their real obligations." Sin.”

"We don't need to inherit the hatred and anger of our fathers, but we must remember this history and lessons, otherwise we will only repeat the same mistakes in the future."

"You are the kindest girl I have ever seen, but please remember, Gianna, don't let your kindness and kindness be used by others and hurt everything you hold dear."

"The orcs will one day regain their freedom, but it must be based on the premise that they will no longer harm Azeroth and us."

Under Arthas's guidance, Jaina no longer ran away from this problem, faced up to the hatred of history, looked at the problem with a more objective attitude, and abandoned unnecessary innocence and kindness, and her fate was quietly rewritten.

Dai Lin was also very happy about his daughter's change of mind. He loved his daughter very much, but he was really angry before. After he calmed down, he began to listen to some of his daughter's words. Dai Lin's extreme attitude gradually faded away. was corrected.

Although his attitude towards the orcs is still the toughest among the alliance countries, he no longer wants to kill the orcs to avenge his son when he sees them like before.

In fact, most of this was due to Arthas. It was something Arthas quietly said to Daelin after a regular alliance meeting that turned Daelin's blind anger into a more shrewd approach to the orc problem. the opinion of.

Therefore, the Proudmoore family all have a strong preference for Arthas. They have not yet married Jaina. Daelin already regards Arthas as his half-biological son.



However, Jaina came a little late to this banquet.

When Jaina walked out of the portal, she had obvious impatience on her pretty face. She was originally going to Stormwind City this morning, but she didn't expect that something unexpected happened when she was about to set off!

A magic circle project she was responsible for was working fine the night before. However, it malfunctioned shortly before she was about to leave. She spent a long time urgently repairing it to prevent her months of hard work from being in vain.

But the lost time would never come back. When she was packing her things, she found that the hands of the magic wall clock had turned too far.

She must have missed the noon banquet - the teacher only gave herself a week's leave in total, and she wasted a whole half-day before departure. How could Gianna not be frustrated?

Fortunately, she definitely had time to attend the private banquet in the evening, but she no longer had time to choose clothes in her mage tower. She randomly took a few pieces and threw them in the space package, then touched up her makeup casually, and wore mage clothes. robe, took the staff and plunged into the portal.

By the time she came down from the mage tower, the sun was almost setting in Stormwind City. Jaina quickly got into a carriage and hurried to Stormwind Fortress.

Fortunately, this time she was sending blessings to Varian and his son on behalf of Kul Tiras and Dalaran in a private capacity. Otherwise, if she had brought another team of attendants, her movements would have been slower.

When Jaina's carriage stopped in front of Stormwind Fortress, she saw that most of the nobles were already coming out of the palace one after another - the evening banquet was held by Varian in a private capacity, and only the young people were invited. Some people.

Although Gianna was impatient, she did not lose her etiquette. Under the leadership of the royal attendants, she ran to Queen Tiffin first, intending to borrow a room to put on makeup and change clothes.

"Jaina? You're finally here. Varian and I were still worried about whether there was something wrong with your teleportation—"

"I'm sorry, Sister Tiffin, there was some minor accident in my mage tower, which prevented me from getting out." Jaina replied apologetically, "Can you lend me a room first so I can put on makeup? "

Tiffin looked at Jaina, who was still wearing the mage robe, and said, "There's no need to be in such a hurry, Jaina, the party won't start for some time. I'll ask the maid to take you to my dressing room. Well, you need a dress." Shall I help you choose a set?"

"Thank you, Sister Tiffin, but don't bother, I brought my own dress."

Jaina calmed down and returned to her usual dignified ladylike appearance.
