"It's crazy!"

Gianna was holding a travel map in her hand, and on the back of that map, there was a set of advertisements for the North County Manor that was being sold recently, Rao was a well-informed archmage, and when he saw the sales price of that manor, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Even if it's the best mage tower in Dalaran City, that's the price.... But in the mage tower of Dalaran holds an infinite amount of knowledge, and what is here? There's just a bunch of bastards who only have money left. ”

Alsace looked at his indignant wife with a strange expression, and he reached out to take Gianna's wrist, and he asked softly:

"Is this worth it for the cheapness of knowledge? Or is it simply disgusted with this place where the rich are gathered? ”

Gianna, who was sitting in the carriage, snorted and did not answer, as if disdainful to answer the question, while Arthas shrugged his shoulders and put the key in the palm of his wife's hand, and he said to Gianna with a smile:

"Don't forget, you're also the one who owns a house in the most expensive valley in Azeroth... And the house that my father gave us, but it is still in the heart of the North County, and it is at least ten times more expensive than the house you have on the edge, and you are like a dragon who lives in a treasury full of gold nuggets and precious stones, my queen. ”

Gianna felt the coldness of the key in her palm, she seemed to have figured out something, and her eyes, which had been with a hint of indignation, calmed down, she leaned on Arthas's shoulder, and whispered to her husband:

"Let's sell it, this house is now sold for almost one-tenth of the taxes paid by the Kingdom of Lordaeron last year... We don't need such luxury, not to mention, this house is placed here, in the center of federal rule, and we will not come to live in it a few times in our lives. ”

Arthas, for his part, smiled and stroked Gianna's hair, shook his head, and whispered to his wife:

"Nope! I refuse... This is the Minerhil family to Gianna. Miss Rodmoore's gift, remember our first date? I promised you that when you got married, I would give you a castle... But I broke my promise because of Lordaeron's migration to Kalimdor, but it doesn't matter, this manor in the North County is the castle I gave you, and you see, it's much more expensive than a normal castle. ”

"What's more, my country is not pitiful enough to need the queen to sell her castle in order to continue to grow... You deserve it, my Anna. ”

The sweet words of the two sweetened the atmosphere in the carriage, and this gesture of "you and me" lasted until the old Sardinia family coachman parked the carriage at the door of "Anna Manor".

With the opening of the black door, a luxurious red carpet spread to the side of the carriage, Gianna walked out of the carriage with the support of Alsace, and at the moment of seeing the manor in front of him, Rao was a well-informed archmage, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

What appeared before the two of them was a completely different building from Azeroth's architecture, it looked like a small cottage built by nobles in the countryside, but without that kind of bells and whistles, this manor house the size of a palace was surrounded by black balustrades and vine-covered walls, the square manor land was covered with green grass, and the purple and red garden had a self-running fountain, which had been made by the stonemasons to be as graceful as an angel.

The immaculately manicured lawn and flowers decorate the surrounding meadows, and in the middle of the manor stands a black and white building, a small two-storey building with a simple shape but a kind of attention to detail, with the arched main entrance and windows decorated with the finest glass, and two chimneys on either side, with white veil hanging from the windows, and the well-groomed stone aisles filled with a quiet, mysterious atmosphere.

If the castle of the nobles of the human empire is a gorgeous and imposing lady, then this small villa in front of you is more like a queen sitting quietly in a rocking chair reading a book in the dusk, although low-key and calm, no one can ignore her hidden majesty, it does not need any other embellishments to set it off, this manor stands here, in the heart of the North County Valley, it already represents the meaning of its existence.

And this kind of cultural charm that does not belong to this world gives this building a kind of breathtaking curiosity... It's like a gateway to another world famous.

"Oh my God, it's beautiful..."

Gianna took her husband's wrist, and the two stepped forward, and Arthas opened the door with the iron railing with the key, and the moment they pushed the gate open and stepped into the manor, the archmage took a deep breath, looked around, and whispered:

"I've been fantasizing about the future, where I would most like to live ... Now I know, Arthas, right here, living here with you, and our children..."

"Such taste..."

Arthas stretched out his hand and embraced his wife's waist, and he whispered:

"Such a design deserves this expensive price, and to be honest, I think Lordaeron's palace seems to be a little overshadowed."

"But that's where the king should be, a cold and lonely castle that symbolizes royal power."

Gianna chuckled and took Alsace's hand, walked towards the manor that bears her name, and whispered:

"This warm and expensive nest is just a respite in our lives... My sailor, you love the harbor, but in the end you should run to the sea. ”

"Lucill!"

"Gianna!"

In the afternoon, the owner of Anna Manor hosted the estate's first guest and childhood friend, the only daughter of the Vicres family from the Kurtilas Drusva region. Miss Vikres.

The lady lived not far from here, in fact, Lucille's estate was on the other side of Anna's estate, in the heart of the Northshire Valley, which also represented the terrible wealth behind Miss Lucille, and the important position of her and her husband in the federal economic system.

Miss Lucille, however, was somewhat inconvenient in her movements, and with her big belly, with the support of her husband, she entered Anna's manor, probably because of her pregnancy, and the noblewoman, who had been very beautiful, became sloppy, and after hearing the invitation of her childhood friend, she did not have much hair tidied up, and came to see Gianna.

The archmage warmly gave his best friend a hug, and then thoughtfully applied a levitation spell to her, so that the poor mother-to-be would no longer have to endure the torment of a big belly and gravity.

"We haven't seen each other in 10 years, haven't we?"

Leaning on the comfortable sofa, Lucille looked at Gianna's still perfect waist with some envy, and the expectant mother looked at her big belly again, and couldn't help but feel a little sad, but after Gianna brought her the juice herself, the two girls chatted together again, Alsace and Alexander, who were left aside, were a little helpless, but the men also had their own topics.

Alsace happened to be a little interested in the economic system of the Federation, and it was rare to meet a big businessman who lived in seclusion, so naturally he couldn't let it go, and Alexander, who knew Alsace's identity, was also interested in finding a strong enough partner in the empire, so the two hit it off, and while the ladies were chatting, the men were also by the pool outside the manor, and began to talk about topics that the ladies would not be interested in at all.

"Well, 10 years, almost, after I went to Dalaran to study, you conscienceless little girl didn't know how to write me a letter!"

Gianna reached out and tugged at Lucille's ear, causing the latter to slap her hand incessantly, and the two of them seemed to return to the time when they had played together at the court of Pelares.

And after Gianna complained about herself, Lucille patted her stomach helplessly and said to her friend:

"You can't blame me, Anna, at that time, the Vikreth family was in a difficult situation, my father had signs of serious illness, my mother put all her energy on my father, I was still very young at the time, I could only support the crumbling family by myself, fortunately, fortunately I met Alexander, he is a very intelligent young man, he will give me a lot of ideas."

When it came to this slightly heavy topic, Gianna restrained her smile, she looked at her childhood friend, she was silent for a moment, and asked in a low voice:

"You must be terrified when I hear about the terrible things that have happened to the Vicresses, poor Lucill."

As he spoke, the archmage stretched out his hand and stroked his good friend's hair, but the latter replied somewhat heartlessly:

"Actually, it's not as scary as the rumors, I did have some problems with Alexander's wedding, but then I came to the Confederation with him, and I've been back to Drusva only a handful of times in the past few years... Compared to the dark and damp mountainous area, the environment and the attitude of the people are much better on the part of the Federation, and Alexander and I like this place very much. ”

"But... But your parents..."

Gianna asked, somewhat unspeakably, "I heard that Uncle and Aunt Vicres are dead..."

"Huh?"

Lucille had the standard dazed posture of expectant mothers, she took a few seconds to think about it, and then she realized what Gianna was talking about, and her chubby face full of maternal light showed a hint of relief, and she said to Gianna:

"No, it's not."

"Huh?"

The archmage looked at Lucille suspiciously, and the latter whispered as he played with Gianna's smooth blonde hair:

"I don't know how the rumors spread from the Empire, but my parents are not dead, Anna, they were transformed into a Blood Clan by the High Lord, and for a while, they have been arranging the handover procedures between the Druswa and the Blightcaller Sect, and after the matter of Kul Tiras, they were idle at home, considering that my father was already terminally ill at the time, and it was not so difficult to accept to become a Blood Clan."

"Actually, the two of them are now planning a trip to the eastern continent, just in time for my baby to be born, so they can enjoy having fun with them."

Miss Lucille scratched her hair helplessly:

"My parents have been asking me and Alexander to have another child to inherit the Vickles family's huge fortune in the Federation, and I'm almost annoyed to death right now."

"Bloodline..."

Gianna narrowed her eyes, as a magician, she had a certain understanding of Salein, a creature that had only appeared in large numbers in recent years, she knew that humans would call themselves the Bloods after being transformed by Salein, and the Empire would call them "vampires" with undisguised malice, and the Bloodlines were more like an existence between the living and the dead than pure undead.

"Well, the Bloodline is also one of the official races recognized by the Federation civilization."

Gianna let out a sigh of relief, and she looked at her friend:

"So that's why you and Alexander became federal citizens? I thought it was the nobles of Kurtilas who forced you to give up your claim to Drusva... I'm going to fight for you. ”

"Haha, I knew that Anna was the best for me."

Lucille laughed, reached out a little awkwardly, took Gianna in his arms, and kissed her fiercely on the face, after some fighting, Lucille leaned back on the sofa, she looked at her good friend, she whispered:

"I've also heard about your marriage to Arthas, and you're finally able to be together, but Anna... I don't know if I should say these things or not, but once in a while, I think about these questions... You and I, we are both children born in the family of great nobles, once in my world, I felt that the existence of nobles was a matter of course, but now, when I became familiar with and adapted to the life of the Federation, I found out..."

"Our existence, in fact, does not have much meaning, it is precisely because I understand this that I have decided to give up the control of the Vikris family over Drusva, I don't want my child to be involved in those past grievances as soon as they are born."

"There are no nobles in the Federation, but they are still developing very well, my husband Alexander, a merchant like him from a civilian background is not destined to do much in the environment of the Empire, but in the Federation, he lives like a fish in water, and Alexander's Chamber of Commerce also has some business in the Empire, I occasionally hear those managers complain that after the Empire moved to Kalimdor, those nobles are getting worse and worse."

Lucille shook Gianna's hand, and she said to Gianna worriedly:

"You're the queen now, but Arthas is too young, we're all familiar with the nobles' thoughts, his throne isn't stable, and once, I mean, if something not so good happens, you're definitely going to be a target for them to fight Arthas, so, please, Anna, please protect yourself."

"Don't worry about me, silly girl."

Gianna reached out and touched Lucille's chubby face, and she comforted softly:

"I'm an archmage, and I have enough strength to protect myself... And those nobles with bad intentions, don't worry..."

"They won't be rampant for long..."
