"First Dalaran, then Gilneth, Kurtilas...... Later Lordaeron, Alterac ...... One city-state after another was established outside the Arathi Heights, and more and more people began to move away from the shackles of the walls of Soladin, and so ...... An empire has come to an end, a dynasty has come to an end - this is the final story of the Arathas Empire. ”

Malone shook his head and said with a sigh.

"That's ...... so"

Kalia muttered - Marlon's words were roughly in line with the story she had learned about when the Minethil family founded the kingdom of Lordaeron, which also made her trust Marlon more trusting, but she still couldn't understand why the descendants of Soladin the Great did not stay in the north, but went so far away.

"In this process, everything is not so rosy...... The descendants of Soladin the Great, and my ancestors, had some conflicts with the other nobles. The descendants of Soladin the Great believed that they should hold on to the ancient lands of the Araso tribe, while the other nobles believed that the world beyond Soladin's walls was freer. ”

"The conflict almost led to a catastrophe, but because of the restraint of all parties, the war did not break out; Countless nobles have left the Arathi Highlands with their subjects, while the core of the Arathor clan continues to remain in Riptide to protect the past glory of the Empire. ”

"Unfortunately, a cholera outbreak struck Riptide City, and people kept falling, and the whole city panicked after another with one death after another. people until they had to leave the city, but ...... My ancestors. They were so proud that they refused to march north, to the noble lords who had betrayed the name of Soladin the Great. ”

So my ancestors took the rest of the people across the ocean. Came to the south of the continent - where they vowed to rebuild their homes. The voyage was not so smooth, and sickness and hunger were always on the horizon; They eventually managed to land, but lost quite a few members. ”

"With the help of those Ironforge dwarves, the humans of the north have built a magnificent city behind the foothills of the south, which has been named Stormwind; With Stormwind as the center, these human territories expanded rapidly, until they almost occupied the entire southern part of the continent - this is where the Kingdom of Azeroth came from. ”

"Azeroth. Arasaw...... In the ancient human language, they are barely pronounced differently - Kalia, the true bloodline of Soladin the Great that interests you. Continuing on the other side of the continent. ”

Malone's narrative is so long that it sounds like something epic—in fact, it's a glory that the Lothar family has remembered for generations, proud of their ancient bloodline. And bear the duty of this noble bloodline - to guard Stormwind City.

Kalia was intrigued by Malone's narrative. She listened carefully to every word Malone said, and only hated that she didn't have a pen and paper at hand, and she couldn't write down a magnificent history.

"So...... You sailed from the north to the south and built a magnificent city and a mighty kingdom? Light is above, that's remarkable...... I wish I could visit Stormwind one day...... Is there a statue of Soladin the Great there? ”

Kalia asked excitedly.

"Of course there are no statues...... As you can see, just like Varian, not all Stormwind residents remember this history. And Stormwind is now in the hands of the orcs, even if Kalia wants to go. We'll have to wait until we get it back. ”

Malone said helplessly.

"Oh yes, I ...... I have a question. I don't know if it's okay...... Ask ......"

Kalia said hesitantly, glancing at Varian sitting next to Marlon. Ureon seems to have some scruples.

"Do I have ash on my face?"

Varian? Wryon asked smirkedly.

"No, not that...... I don't know if my question will offend your family, Varian......"

Kalia said hesitantly.

"Oh, that's right...... You ask, Kalia, don't worry about anything. ”

Varian? Wryn waved his hand and said—he was a bit careless, and didn't care much about these things.

"That'...... Then I asked...... Since Marlon your family is a descendant of Soladin the Great, then why...... Is Varian the prince of Stormwind? This one...... That one...... The Ureon family, what's going on? ”

Kalia finished her question in a hurry, again afraid of offending the two young men and their family, and expecting answers to her questions and satisfying her thirst for knowledge.

"Oh, that's the problem."

Varian? Wryon nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Can you answer me?"

Kalia asked expectantly.

"I don't know...... How to answer you? ”

Varian? Wryon replied honestly.

"Huh?"

Kalia was stunned, her slightly open pink cherry lips, confused expression, and stunned gaze...... It looks a little cute.

"But Malone must know, it's good if you ask him."

Varian? Once again, Wryon briskly pushed the problem to his companion.

"Marlon?"

Kalia looked pitifully at the young man from the south, not even realizing that the maid beside her had brought dinner to the table.

"Well...... In fact, it is not a secret that cannot be told...... As far as I know, my ancestors felt that this time was a catastrophe - including the cholera and those who died on the voyage across the sea...... It was up to them to take care - if they had been willing to leave the Arathi Heights like the rest of the nobles in the first place, perhaps more would have survived. ”

"As a result of this guilt, my ancestors refused to be kings of the New Kingdom, surrendering their royal position to House Ureon and assuming a role akin to 'guardians' themselves. They removed some of the most sacred letters of their names and changed their surname from 'Araso' to 'Lothar', where they continue to this day. ”

Marlon answered Kalia's question, then smiled at the maid who had placed the silver plate in front of him, and whispered thank you.

The delicate maid seemed to be accustomed to seeing the nobles of the kingdom of Lordaeron, and she just returned the salute in a friendly manner, and then retreated and continued her work, but Varian? Wryon was now gaining momentum and was starting to brag.

"I'll know when I talk about it, I'll tell you...... Since the establishment of Stormwind, every king of House Urion will have a guardian of House Lothar! My father's guardian is Mr. Lothar, and my guardian is Marlon! We're going to defeat those orcs and rebuild our home!" ”

Varian, who has been dull? Wryon suddenly became excited, and said with a wave of fists. (To be continued.) )
