Menethil's Power

Chapter 322 Father
Kalia walked alone through the empty corridor, her high-heeled shoes made a crisp sound when they touched the smooth slate floor. This new style of women's shoes first appeared in the priest's suit that was said to be designed by a certain prince himself. Then, within a few months, it quickly swept the entire aristocratic circle and became a new fashion pursued by ladies and ladies.

The eldest princess is wearing an elegant white dress at this time, with light golden patterns on the skirt and cuffs. This kind of decent clothes adds a different flavor to the girl's beauty, and the light makeup and appropriate jewelry strengthen her This feeling.Kalia's expression and posture have changed a lot. Although she is still a girl in her early 20s, she suddenly has the mature demeanor of a 30-year-old.

She was less like a young princess, more and more like her father's superior persona, feeling more like a... queen.

Kalia turned into a secret room. In this room, there was a lady with a charming face waiting for her. However, she was inferior to the eldest princess in terms of appearance and bearing.After seeing Kalia, the lady bowed her head respectfully.

"Farina, how is everything ready?" Kalia asked.

"Everything is going according to your plan." Countess Farina, the most famous black widow in the royal city, replied very humbly: "When you complete that 'great cause' and put on the crown, the chief guard Marvin will immediately Lead people to seal off the palace, and then the forged will of the previous king will be read immediately, and then we, your most loyal subordinates, will quickly take over the important departments of Lordaeron, and your rule will be quickly stabilized..."

"Very good." Kalia nodded slightly. The key to this series of plans lies in the "great cause" she is going to do, but Kalia doesn't seem to have any hesitation or hesitation at this time. She felt that the whole of Lordaeron was under her control.

The eldest princess ordered some more things before leaving. After Kalia's figure disappeared, Farina was obviously relieved. During this secret meeting, she suffered great psychological pressure, and this pressure The main source of it is not the eldest princess.

The fireplace behind the Countess suddenly slid open, revealing a secret passage, and an old gentleman with white beard and hair came out of it, and he obviously listened to all the previous conversations.

"You have performed very well, Countess," said he.

"This is what I should do, Your Excellency the Duke." Farina showed a forced smile.

Duke Ram Ravenholdt, the leader of Lordaeron's royal secret service organization "The Uncrowned", is responsible for all secret affairs.He is the master of the dark side of Lordaeron, the shadow of King Terenas, and his existence is extremely secret. Even Isaacs only knew his true identity a few years ago.

In front of the Duke of Ravenholdt, Mathias Shaw of Stormwind SI:[-] can only be regarded as a grandson.

The old prince looked Farina up and down through the monocle, which made the countess feel even more uneasy, "Should we continue to cooperate with the eldest princess in this...'game'? ' she asked cautiously.

"Yes." Duke Ravenholdt gave an affirmative answer.

After being reminded of Kalia's abnormality by Christaza, all the actions of the eldest princess have been promoted to the highest monitoring sequence of the Uncrowned.Kalia thought she had mastered the bargaining chip to subvert the kingdom, but in fact it was just a game set up by the Uncrowned. Anyone she met would be talked to by the Uncrowned immediately, and then they would be very sincere Express your love for Lordaeron and your undying loyalty to His Majesty Terenas.

These nobles have preserved themselves in the purge of Deathwing's downfall, so there are no naive idiots among them. They know very well that even though the two princes and most of Lordaeron's troops have been sent to the front, Kaka Leah wouldn't have the slightest chance either, House Menethil's rule was rock solid.

Even though she would become a notorious black witch in the original time and space, after all, she joined the natural disaster more because she followed the general trend of history.At this time, Farina still had certain connections with the Cultists of the Curse, but after Ravenholdt personally found her, this cunning woman immediately appeared to believe in the Holy Light, and not only told all the curses she knew According to the information of the God Religion, Kalia was completely sold out.

"What does His Majesty mean?" Farina asked tentatively, "Are you going to let Her Royal Highness continue to play like this?",

"This is not something you should care about." Duke Ravenholdt said coldly. As a subordinate and old friend for many years, even though he has never married in his life, he can still understand Terenas' psychology. Terenas is a wise monarch, but he is also a father.

This is the tolerance and patience of a father, so Terenas has not given the order to Duke Ravenholdt to close the net. He does not believe that Kalia will take that terrible step. He is giving her regret Chance.

However, judging from all current signs, the old king is likely to be disappointed in the end.

"I'm just a little worried about what His Majesty the King will think of us..." Farina smiled reluctantly. This was the biggest problem for her and the nobles who were "recruited" by Kalia. They were more or less unclean. Basically, if Terenas used this incident to directly characterize them as traitors, it would really be a disaster.

"Don't be suspicious, His Majesty will not break his promise to you. Since he said that he will not pursue your past actions, he will never trouble you." Duke Ravenholdt frowned.

"Praise Lordaeron, praise His Majesty the King." Farina said sincerely.

……

Kalia walked towards the throne room at a very steady pace. The royal guards along the way saluted her one after another, and she nodded slightly in response one by one. She stopped suddenly when passing by the garden.The roses are blooming.

It was May, and these delicate flowers were in full bloom of their beauty, and Kalia plucked a crimson petal, and gently crushed it into a puree.

Good things always pass very easily.

Her expression suddenly struggled a little, and her expression changed several times, but in the end she returned to her ruthless indifference.

In the sewers of Dalaran, Kalia's personality was forcibly split in two by Xal'atath in an attempt to resist Tichondrius' control.However, what has been leading since then is the consciousness that has been distorted by the fearful demon king. This consciousness is ruthless and full of desire for power. As for the original kind and strong personality, although he is constantly fighting, he has been firmly suppressed. In the corner of the sea of ​​spirits, I can't move.

The door to the throne room was ajar, and Kalia pushed it open gently.Terenas was sitting alone on the throne at this time. He should have just received the audience of the ministers, and he looked quite tired at this time. "What's the matter, my daughter?" He asked Kalia.

The old king seemed defenseless, he didn't even have any guards around him, but in fact Duke Ravenholdt and a dozen elite assassins of the Uncrowned had already ambushed in the side room of the throne room, and only Terenas was needed He could be rescued immediately with a single command, of course, this was not the only insurance. Behind the old king's throne, a dark golden giant sword leaned against it, emitting a faint light.

Sword of the Emperor, Scamdor Warbreaker.

A sword certainly cannot defend itself unless it has a consciousness of its own.After Isaacs obtained the Emperor's Sword, he did not use it as a weapon, but offered it together with Emperor Thoradin's soul, and the condition was that Thoradin was required to protect the Menethil family. Now is the time for this ancient emperor's soul to play a role.

Of course, Kalia didn't know this, what she saw was her father standing in front of her defenselessly, and a dark voice sounded in her ear, "You don't have to bear the contempt of others, and you don't have to feel fear and fear anymore." Doubt, family affection is so insignificant in the face of power, go, go and get what really belongs to you..."

Dark blue frost began to appear beside Kalia. The voice in her ears should come from Tichondrius, or just the mentally disturbing spell left behind by him, but it doesn't matter. Master the body at this time The evil personality of Kalia agrees with these words very much, and she wants to take action immediately.

However, at this moment, a weak but firm voice sounded from the deepest part of her heart, "No!"

Kalia's movements stagnated, she suddenly hugged her head, and let out a short scream. The inevitable personality struggle finally began, which was predictable from the beginning.Although Kalia's body consciousness is mentally handicapped, it is desperately trying to regain control of her body. She can perceive what she has done under the control of the distorted dark consciousness, and now is the most critical moment However, once a big mistake is made, her soul will inevitably perish forever.

I will never hurt any relatives!

Kalia bent down in pain, with a splitting headache. Under the collision of the two consciousnesses, she temporarily lost control of her body, and could no longer conceal her semi-demonic nature. The wide dark blue bat wings stretched out to cover The portal to the entire Throne Hall.

Although he was mentally prepared, Terenas was still taken aback, tears began to fill his eyes, what kind of monster his originally beautiful and lovely daughter has become!Up to this point, the old king had no intention of asking for an escort. Instead, he raised his hand to signal the uncrowned not to appear.

He still couldn't believe that his daughter would hurt him.

The struggle between consciousnesses is very cruel, and Kalia's body consciousness is retreating steadily. It has never seized control of the body, and it is even difficult to stop the dark consciousness.The means left by Tichondrius are extremely terrifying. This part of the distorted consciousness has almost nothing to do with the original Kalia, and it is more like an independent monster.

Kalia was almost desperate. She could feel her father's gaze, but she couldn't even speak out to remind her. She felt that she was almost completely swallowed by the dark consciousness...

However, at this moment, things took an unexpected turn.

The rampant dark consciousness suddenly became sluggish, showing signs of decline. Kalia was taken aback, and then realized that Tichondrius must have resorted to some misfortune. The control of Kalia's dark consciousness is also much weaker, which is probably due to Isaacs.

Kalia immediately started to counterattack. She showed great willpower and determination on the spiritual level. She was not trying to annihilate that darkness, but trying to transform and re-integrate it. After all, this is a soul split from her own.

This process was very slow and painful, but Kalia finally completed it, that is to say, with her own efforts and the help of some objective conditions, she finally completely got rid of the control of the devil, which is very commendable .

She is finally free.

Regaining control of her body, Kalia opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was her father's old face. Almost instantly, she burst into tears, choking with sobs.

"I'm sorry, father, I'm sorry..." She knelt on the ground and said in a crying voice, her wings kept shaking with her sobs...

……

"Get out of the way!" A griffin landed in the griffin cage of the royal palace. Before it stopped, Isaacs pulled Alsace and jumped off the temporarily requisitioned flying mount, and then galloped towards the throne room. go.The difference in strength between the two brothers was quite large, so in order to speed up, Alsace was almost carried by Isaacs with one hand throughout the journey.

The door of the throne room was ajar, and Isaacs, who was so anxious that he had no time to think about it, kicked it open, and then saw a very strange scene. Terenas stood in the center of the throne room, and a beautiful figure The female humanoid half-kneeled in front of him, sobbing with her head buried in the old king's arms.The reason for using "humanoid" to describe this woman is because of her iconic horns and bat wings.

"Devil!" Alsace exclaimed in shock. The little prince immediately wanted to rush forward to rescue his father who was threatened by the demon, but he was pulled back by his calmer brother. Isaacs also had a shocked expression at this time, he Looking at the female half-demon in disbelief, "Kalia?"

Callia didn't reply, and didn't look back, but Isaacs was sure, "Holy Light!" he said almost groaning.

"Sister, you..." Alsace also reacted at this time, he felt unbelievable at first, and then he couldn't help showing a mixture of disgust and surprise.

"Why, isn't Kalia my daughter or your sister after becoming like this?" Terenas asked majesticly, the old king's voice was faintly angry, "She's just a child, poor Girl! We are all responsible for what she has become in this horrible state!"

Isaacs and Alsace remained silent, they had to admit that they had been a little too indifferent to this close relative these years.Isaacs' reaction was a little faster. He quickly judged from the current situation and Terenas' attitude: No matter what big mistakes Kalia made before, she has already completed self-salvation and won her father's favor. forgive.

This is enough, no tragedy happened, everyone is safe and sound, and Isaacs' heart that has been hanging has finally returned to his stomach.

Kalia finally stood up, and turned to face the two brothers. The half-demon form had a different kind of charm, but it was obvious that she could no longer be considered a human being. This was the first time she faced her relatives with this image. The eldest princess seemed quite at a loss.

Isaacs looked solemn. He stepped forward and stretched out his hands, completely ignoring Kalia's current half-demon form, and gave her a warm and firm hug.He suddenly wanted to say a lot, but in the end he could only say, "I'm sorry, Kalia".

Callia didn't answer, but hugged Isaacs even harder. The guilty prince only felt warm and wet on his shoulders, which had obviously been soaked by Callia's tears. !
