For the long-lived race, ten years may only be a matter of a snap of a finger. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Whether it is an elf or a dragon, the concept of time is quite indifferent.

This is not the case with humans.

Ten years is certainly Gianna's youth, and the same is Vanessa Van Cleef's youth.

Stormwind Kingdom at this time in history was very corrupt and decaying. The Stormwind Royals have had a lot of unfulfilled promises and a lot of unfulfilled rewards, such as the Stormwind Royalty's refusal to pay for the construction of Stormwind City, which was rebuilt by the Brotherhood of Stonemasons, due to the conspiracy of a dragon princess.

This led directly to the great tragedy of Vanessa's father, Edwin Van Cleef, the Brotherhood of Masons, and a whole host of people who did not get paid for their labor.

In the original fate, in the depths of the dark mine of death, Vanessa's childhood was spent in such a dark, terrifying, and painful environment. Her father and the rest of the people around her were struggling with a sense of anger and despair, and they certainly couldn't have instilled in her any of the good side of Stormwind, and even if they didn't say anything to her, the long-term exposure was enough to make her slowly develop an indelible hatred for Stormwind as well.

In this life, Duke's appearance changed all that.

Her father, Edwin, rose from a humble stonemason leader to one of the two heroes who fought against the orcs in the Wild West. Although not as famous as Duke, that glory is real in the Stormwind Kingdom.

"Ahh

"You are so good at it, you deserve to be the daughter of a hero!"

If she were a boy, she might be like Alexandros Mograine's son, living in the shadow of her father, after all, boys inherited the family business.

But she's a girl, and there's no pressure at all.

If there is pressure, it is ...... Her father, Edwin, couldn't find a man to marry his daughter.

In terms of status, because of his follower of Duke, Edwin jumped from a low-status stonemason to the knightly class, and was directly promoted to the title of viscount, and was an important minister of the Marcus family.

In his official position, Edwin is the Minister of Construction under the Home Secretary, and he leads almost all of the infrastructure projects in the Stormwind Kingdom.

It stands to reason that the Van Cleeff family is already prominent.

Herein lies the problem.

The aristocracy can accept a poor boy with no background to step into the circle of the nobility because he has the power of mystery. After all, the magic circuit inheritance itself is a wealth that is hard to buy. But the aristocracy definitely doesn't like clay legs without special talents to become nobles in one step.

Under normal circumstances, only those knights who have been in the knightly class for at least two generations will be promoted to the nobility more easily accepted by the aristocratic circle.

The nobles of the Stormwind Kingdom have withered a lot due to the traps of Du during the Great Retreat, but the old nobles, such as the Vortagan family in Berval, or the new generation of nobles who were later promoted by Lane, still don't like Van Cleef.

In the final analysis, the only thing that can accept Vanessa is within the Marcus family.

Later, in a competition five years ago, Vanessa used a gorgeous dagger to knock over Casa, the Knight captain who was Lao Fan's favorite, with twelve consecutive blows......

Vanessa, who is notorious, can't marry at all.

Vanessa, who participated in the Battle of the Dark Gate and is accustomed to seeing big heroes, naturally has a high vision, and she doesn't care whether she marries or not: "Dad, you're still young anyway, if you want the Van Cleef family to continue, you can marry another woman." In the future, it would be good to give me a brother or sister as an heir. Leave me alone. ”

Edwin finally realized that his baby daughter had followed Princess Kalia on a journey from north to south, and after ten years in the wilderness, she was no longer the obedient little girl, but a real strong man.

Edwin heard of Duke's magnificent return this time, and was instigated by a certain queen who had fled to Stormwind City for refuge, so he immediately sent his own daughter.

"The people of the Van Cleve family are born to be members of the Marcus family, and dead are ghosts of the Marcus family. Master Duke has just returned, and it's time when he needs help. Since you were your master's maid, and now you have the permission of Her Majesty Kalia, you should serve before your master's seat. Edwin's face was righteous, but in fact he was happy to send his daughter to the shores of the North Stream on a clipper.

Along with Vanessa, there are High Elf knight Liadline and Windranger's fourth elf.

They were originally sent by Duke to be Kalya's friends and accompany the hard-pressed Kaliya to enjoy her freedom. Strictly speaking, they were all Duke's men. The next ten years of coexistence made them brand with Kalia. When Kalia was pushed out of power by Duke, sending them back naturally had a different meaning.

Duke doesn't care. Ten years after his disappearance, Illusia still helps him run his territory and power, and Duke is already grateful. In particular, Edwin Van Cleef, after Illusia secretly pointed out that Stormwind would not have been able to pay for the construction of the city without the Marcus family, Edwin completely cut off his thoughts of the Stormwind nobles and became the most ardent supporter of the Marcus family.

In any case, it is easy for my own people to use it.

Since Vanessa offered to come back as the head maid, Duke would follow her, anyway, she is now a single commander, and there is not a single maid below.

Lilath quietly stepped into the hero realm, and she could be regarded as having seventy percent of the combat power of Aurelia back then.

On the other hand, the enemy is an undead, there is no paladin by his side, and Duke is really a bit empty. Liadrin's arrival is obviously a big help.

The only thing Duke didn't expect was that Vanessa had just arrived and kept Gianna out.

Duke rubbed his eyebrows: "Vanessa, there are no special circumstances in the future, Gianna can enter my tent or room without reporting." ”

It was only when Duke's voice came out of the tent that Vanessa reluctantly stepped out of her way.

Even though it was a little uncomfortable to be blocked, Vanessa's agile movements made Gianna look high. However, Vanessa, who is dressed in a tight suit, does the work of a maid, and with that special vigorous charm, this makes Gianna a little surprised: it seems that there is more than one competitor in Kalia!

Gianna pursed her lips slightly, and then entered with a dignified demeanor.

"Duke, I'm here to ...... this time"

Duke saw through Gianna's thoughts at a glance and waved his hand: "Defeating the Scourge Legion is the most important thing, once the Scourge Legion is allowed to recruit Akmund, the commander of the Burning Legion, the world will be destroyed, and any glory status will be a vain thing at that time." Come over here and help me take a look, and now Anastriana bastard has a problem for me. ”
