My son, when you were born, the whole forest of Lordaeron was whispering your name, Alsace...

——Terinas Millhill

Whisper Bay is located on the northwest corner of the Tirisfalinland. At this time, the night here is quiet, and the bright moonlight shines on the distant sea surface. The rugged waves reflect the silver moonlight, which looks like a dream, making people unable to help but feel drunk!

At dusk, after gaining the approval of her father Teneris, Galia Minais, followed the kingdom's new Countess Hermione Granger, with that magical teleportation spell, and instantly teleported from the Lordaeron King hundreds of miles away from the Royal City of Lordaeron hundreds of miles away, and arrived at the Sollitton Farm on the coast of Whispering. Following a team of Lordaeron Royal Honor Guards who had already prepared here, waiting for the return of the Triumph fleet.

Although the process was a little imperfect, for example, when she was just teleported, she vomited in a mess and almost completely lost all the dignity of the princess of the Kingdom of Lordaeron? However, she would not mind such a small thing, and she believed that those who saw it would not mind either.

“The sea view at night is so beautiful…”

As the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the only kingdom princess, this is the first time that Jalia has come to the beach at night.

So, this kind of sea view under the moonlight is really strange to her!

You know, in the past, she could only stay by Lake Lordamir to relax, or when she couldn't sleep at night, she could just look at the lake view and moonlight from the high place of the palace and castle. It would definitely be impossible to run so far.

Now,

Just in the moonlight, looking at the rolling waves and the sound of waves, and then blowing the salty sea breeze, Jalia felt that she was about to get drunk...

Therefore, she was in a relatively happy mood and began to chat with Hermione's sister beside her, talking about her childhood, and talking about the pleasant scandals of Alsace when she was a child. Anyway, as long as the interesting things she thought of, she would tell them all without reservation.

"No way?"

"Galia, is that true? The whole forest of Lordaeron is whispering his name. How is this possible?"

"But, I'm still a little reluctant to believe that kind of thing..."

"You know, that kind of thing is a little too magical... I am very familiar with your good brother Prince Arthas. He is just a powerful and brave paladin. I think that thing was made up by you guys."

At the pier of Whisper Bay, during the long wait, after listening to Princess Galia's talk about what happened to Alsace when she was a child, including the childhood life of the two siblings and Jaina, the love and separation of the two later, etc. After listening, Hermione couldn't help but come to Galia's ear with some amusement and gently refute something.

Anyway,

Hermione certainly doesn't believe the statement that "Lordalon's forest is whispering"!

Because she would rather believe that it was just the necessary packaging and stimulation made by the cunning King Teneris to the only crown prince and prince of Lordaeron, Arthas, to pave the way for His Highness the future succession of His Highness?

Of course, although it was a rebuttal, Hermione was not stupid enough to speak out loudly. She was just talking to her newly recognized good sister, Princess Galia, and her good girlfriend, Princess Galia, and her good friend, and whispering those whispers.

After all, she is now the Countess of Lordaeron, and she must not openly question King Tenaris or speak ill of Crown Prince Arthas in front of others.

"Of course it's true!"

"I still remember that on the day when Arthas was born, the people of the whole city were cheering and celebrating. Petals were flying everywhere in the city. The big bronze bell of Lordaeron was ringing all the time. The sound was very far away. Then the Lordaeron forest in the distance also responded, and they gave echoes. I was not joking!"

After looking around, he found that no one noticed the conversation between them and no one dared to eavesdrop on them, Galia glared at a Countess who dared to arrange her younger brother Alsace in a bit of amazement.

Anyway, Galia felt that her younger brother was indeed the pride and hope of the Kingdom of Lordaeron!

Just like this time, the other party led only more than 2,000 soldiers to expedition Northrend and successfully eliminated the fearful demon king who spreads the plague? So, she has always been deeply proud of her younger brother and is looking forward to a more glorious tomorrow under the rule of Arthas.

Because she knew that her dear father, Tenaris, was already very old, and had repeatedly told her that she would take the initiative to abdicate and crown Arthas. Therefore, she believed that after the plague of Lordaeron was completely calmed down, the Alsace, who had made great contributions and became increasingly mature, must have gradually met the requirements of their father. It was not far from being crowned as king and becoming the new king of the Mineshil dynasty of Lordaeron!

only……

The only thing she felt a little sorry for was that Jaina Prodmore, who had always had a good relationship with her, the princess of the Kingdom of Kurtiras, the sister who liked her in terms of status, personal ability, appearance and personality, actually had a falling out with her younger brother Arthas, and even heard a false prophet who had emerged from there. She was about to run to Kalimdo to take refuge?

I don’t know if the other party will meet or make up with Arthas in the future. That kind of thing will be so worried about her sister!

perhaps……

When the Kingdom of Lordaeron returns to normal, after the undead was completely eliminated and the terrible plague was eliminated, can she find time to fool her brother to visit Kalimdo and see Jaina?

After thinking about it, Jalia secretly praised her wonderful idea and made a decision.

She knew that her father, Tenaris, agreed with Arthas and Gianna, because Kurtiras had always had a good relationship with Lordaeron, and the sea kingdom had a strong navy, which was indeed what Lordaeron needed! However, that kind of thing might be at least two or three years later, because she also heard Lord Uther and the others say that it would take so much time to completely quell the plague and eliminate the undead.

“…”

"Okay, dear Sister Jaliya, I get it..."

Hermione was stunned for a moment, and then almost laughed.

Because she understood and guessed: It is very likely that it was not a whisper of the Lordaeron Forest, it was just because the city kept ringing the bell and celebrating, and then the echoes from the distance continued to come back, so it sounded like 'the whole Lordaeron Forest was whispering'?

Of course, Hermione Granger, the normal scientific common sense that everyone on earth knows, would definitely not speak out and correct the other party at such a time without any ignorance. Let this sister Galia continue to immerse herself in her beautiful longing for the younger brother of Prince Alsace!

"Hey! Hermione, why are they not back yet?"

"Didn't the griffin knight say when he returned just now that Alsace's fleet is not very far away from here?"

Looking at the villagers of the Sollitton Farm who were "spontaneously" coming to prepare for welcome, the villagers who were whispering to discuss something, the petals and garlands they prepared, and the food and water they prepared, and then looking at the two rows of motionless Royal Guard of Honor behind, Galia couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Look, my hair has become sticky, and a layer of dewdrops have begun to hang on the outside of my clothes. It's so annoying!"

In the middle of the night, she only stood by the beach for a while. The flowing blonde hair of Jalia, which had just been washed and taken care of by the maids in the afternoon, has now become sticky... and the precious moon cloth robe on her body is also covered with a thick layer of dewdrops, which makes her feel sticky and wet. If it weren't for the midsummer now, she would have sneezed more than one sneezed.

So, after seeing the north, looking at the end of the sea level in the night, and finding that she still had not seen the figure of her younger brother Alsace's fleet, she couldn't help but complain with some hatred.

You know, it is precisely because the weather is very good tonight that she specially wore her moon cloth robe, because this precious fabric emits beautiful and faint fluorescence under the moonlight. But how could she have turned into this now?

"Ai!"

"Who made you keep urging me to come here early? What's the use of being anxious now?"

"Although they are not far from the coast now, the fleet's speed is not as fast as the griffins, and now it's crosswinds. In addition, there are many reefs on the Whispering Coast, so they definitely don't dare to move forward at full speed."

‘Waterproof and moisture-proof!’

Although she was mocking Princess Galia, who came in dress, after laughing, Hermione took out her wand and gently pointed it at the other person's body. Instantly, the other person's whole body became dry, making the sticky hair flowing again, and the moon cloth robe that was originally prone to cause dew finally stopped being so wet as before and was almost stuck to the soft and white skin.

The spell was originally used to prevent water or high temperature from affecting people and objects, but now it is used by Hermione to set makeup for this beautiful princess. Although this is a bit of a waste of magic, for Hermione, who has been in a state of trimming recently and has never needed to fight, it is really nothing great. It will be used as soon as it is used.

"this……?"

"Hermione, your magic has so many interesting uses?!"

Touching her body and hair, Jalia couldn't help but exclaim.

She always thought that in addition to fighting and killing magic, it was what Jaina told her: "Some evil and dirty wizards are specially used to turn people into sheep and then kidnap them smoothly" and so on...

But now, seeing a small trick performed by the other party, she instantly became comfortable. Both her hair and clothes were dry and refreshing, and she seemed to be no longer affected by the sea breeze and dew, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Sister Jalia, maybe you don't know yet, right?"

"In our Hogwarts Magic School, most of the magic we learn is not spells for combat, and those magic and spells that are good at combat are actually resisted black magic. They are absolutely not allowed to be taught to students at will!"

Speaking of this, Hermione couldn't help but sigh.

That's right, in Hogwarts, the spells they can learn are all non-combat life spells and skills, such as: Transformation, Potions, Protection Magic Biology, Herbal Medicine, Magical Scholars, Magical Instruments, Flight Classes, Astronomy, Ancient Magic Literature, Muggle Research, Black Magic Defense Classes, and Hermione's most annoying divination class, etc.

Even in the Black Magic Defense class, what they can learn is more of a protective spell to subdue enemies or protect themselves. For example, a sharp fire spell or other more powerful offensive spell, they are not able to learn easily in school, and even the unforgivable spell is just because of the strange crazy-eyed man Moody in Guli this year.

so,

This is why Hermione mostly uses some auxiliary spells or indirectly controlled spells when fighting, because she knows that she can get in touch with so many. Although she also secretly reads some more advanced spells in the library, she definitely has no way to easily get in touch with some taboo books or black magic books that require a professor to sign before borrowing.

"Ah? But..."

"If you don't learn magic and spells for combat, then Hermione, how could you be so powerful, do so many big things, and become Lordaeron's great hero?!"

No one can deny that the fourteen-year-old girl in front of them is the youngest countess in the history of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, so Galia was very surprised and puzzled by the other party's statement.

She couldn't believe that the other party could be so powerful when the magic he learned was not used for combat. If he learned more combat magic, wouldn't it be invincible in the world?

"Why……"

"That's actually because of other reasons. In short, it's very complicated. I'm a little bit..."

"ah!!"

Hermione, who was about to explain a few words, suddenly stopped and exclaimed.

Because, what she saw: in the distance, on the vast sea covered with rugged lights and white moonlight, it seemed that there were a few small black boat shadows appearing at some point?

"Let's not talk about those for now. Sister Jalia, please take a look. Are those on there, Prince Alsace's and their warships, are Harry and their back?!"

Hermione, who didn't know if she had read it wrong, quickly patted Galia's arm beside her, and pointed at the sea level in the distance north, indicating that the other party looked at the position he saw.

"Um?"

"ah!!"

"That's right! It must be them, it must be Alsace and the others, it's considered to be back!!"

After looking closely, Jalia couldn't help cheering after finding that there were indeed shadows of several sailboats on the sea in the distance, and the masts and sails with increasingly clear contours.

Then, she hurriedly stood up straight and prepared to use her fullest mental state to welcome the hero brother who was about to return triumphantly and the warriors of the Northern Expedition Army.

At the same time, the villagers and women who heard the exclamations of the two people, who also saw the queen of the boat, finally ended their rustling and quiet discussions, and became energetic and excited, and began to tiptoe and look forward, as if they wanted to see what the Triumph Warriors' ships and the warriors on the ships looked, and when they would be able to dock?

"Okay!"

"Sister Jaliya, don't be anxious to be happy. It will take at least a long time for them to lean over. It's useless to be anxious now!"

After slapping the other person's hand that grabbed his arm hard and pulled out his arm with great pleasure, Hermione glared at him in anger.

Although she was very happy that Harry and the others were about to return, it would take at least half an hour to see the size and distance of the other party's ship. They could wait patiently without being so anxious or nervous.

"Hmm? Sorry, I'm too anxious, it seems that it's really that way..."

After a moment of silence, he looked at the warships sailing faintly at the end of the sea level in the distance. Seeing that they seemed to be rubbing slowly towards this side, Galia had to nod a little awkwardly, and finally relaxed a little, began to wait patiently, and watched the hazy shadows of the warships under the moonlight in the distance slowly become bigger and clear.
To be continued...
