In the Dalaran Elf District, on a high tower dome not far from the Mage Tower where Prince Kelthas is located, Deline Prodmore is enjoying a leisurely afternoon tea time here.

His Majesty the King was wearing a white sailor blouse and hunting breeches on his lower body.

The hair is not well taken care of, let it spread apart.

Next to the cowhide belt around his waist, an ordinary naval knife was hung obliquely with the logo of the Kurtiras Navy. This was his only weapon when he was leisurely.

I didn't even bring the easy musket I used.

It seems that the place where His Majesty Dailin is now is a place that allows him to relax his whole body and mind, just like his home.

On the table in front of the old sailor was a bottle of open golden rum.

There are also two exquisite elf wine glasses.

It seemed that he was planning to drink with another person, but probably because he couldn't control his habit of drinking, so he killed most of the bottle before the "drinking friend" came.

"Losa has entered the city. I thought you would go to greet him at least. Didn't you come to Dalaran for this reason? Why do you hide again?"

A very magnetic sound accompanied by the rhythmic notes of the shoes trampling on the ground, sounded in the main hall behind the balcony, asking with a few sarcasm:

"When did His Majesty Prodmore, who was rampant in the sea, become a coward hiding in the home of a single old woman?"

"call"

Dai Lin touched her beard, drank the wine in her hand, then raised the empty cup, shook it over her head, and said casually:

"I didn't plan to stay too much. I just found that my old friend's wine cabinet had a lot of delicious treasures. Drinking three bottles a day was enough for me to stay here for two months.

I said before that I won’t leave until I finish drinking the wine. Lothar is the old-fashioned and can’t give me good wine, so he knows that I’m enough here.”

"I'll smash that damn wine cabinet in a while!"

Ms. Jin Jian, who held her arms behind her, turned colder and maintained her elegant demeanor and said:

"You can drive you, the old drunkard who is not leaving, look at you, now you are no longer as handsome as you were back then, like a vulgar scoundrel."

"Oh, how can a lady do something like smashing something?"

Dai Lin stood up, made an exaggerated gesture of bowing and saluting, then plucked her hair, rolled up her sleeves and said with a smile:

“I’ll smash it now.

Then I will make dinner for our beautiful and noble Miss Jin Jian. Do you want to try clam chowder with red wine today? That is one of my few dishes that I am more specialized.”

"Queen Catherine Prodmore might like it."

Mrs. Jin Jian sneered and said:

"But I have a good taste, so you won't have to do it anymore... pack up your things and leave! Finna has arrived at Dalaran and will come over at any time. I don't want her mother's image to be ruined."

"Is my daughter back?"

Dai Lin's expression immediately brought a smile of expectation.

He looked at his dress and walked into the room, probably trying to change into a more formal dress, but was stopped by Mrs. Jin Jian.

“Now is not a good time.”

The magic MP of Quel'thalas whispered:

"She's not ready yet."

"No, she's ready."

Dai Lin held Mrs. Jin Jian's wrist and said in a gentle tone:

"She knew you would meet me in Dalaran, and you also warned her to stay in Quel'thalas, but she came over without hesitation, and she knew who she would meet here.

Our daughter is a warrior.

Like me, she will take the initiative to attack when facing threats, brave and decisive.

If I run away like a coward now, it will ruin the image of her father in her heart. I would rather she fight with me than she would call her father a coward.

Gina, believe me.”

The General reached out and hugged Mrs. Jin Jian, who was pursing her lips, into her arms. The sarcasm and tension between the two of them were no longer joking. This moment was like a couple who had not seen each other for many years.

Even though it is just a simple hug, there is no more intimacy.

But the love between the two can still be seen.

"You don't have to worry about anything, it's a matter between me and my child."

Dai Lin gently patted Ms. Jin Jian's shoulder and let her bury her head in her arms, as many years ago, sniffing the fragrance of flowers on the woman's hair.

He comforted:

"It must be very hard for you to take her alone over the years. I know how poisonous the mouths of the elves and nobles in Silver Moon City are. You must have suffered a lot of grievances.

And I...

I have missed this child’s youth and failed to fulfill the responsibilities of a father and stay by her side to watch her grow up. I gave all my love to other children, but failed to shelter her from the wind and rain.

I once believed in a cruel concept of education, and I think that strict requirements can help children grow up and become successful.

But after that, I realized I was wrong.

I realized that it was just my vanity.

I don’t care whether they will become heroes and great men now. I just want to stay with my family and children now. I just want to watch them grow up safely.

Finna and you are both my family. I came to Dalaran this time, not only to take Finna home, but also to take you home. I will build the best wizard tower for you in the Strait of Tiragard.

Come home with me.

Give me a chance to compensate you.”

"No."

When Mrs. Jin Jian raised her head, her eyes were full of shining light. She kissed Dai Lin's cheek and said:

"I left because I didn't want to influence you who was about to become king. If I surrender to you now, wouldn't I seem stupid for more than twenty years?

I will not give your Queen Catherine the chance to humiliate me. You are just a passerby in my long life, Deline Proudmore, don't take yourself too much."

"I've talked to Katherine."

Dai Lin said with regret and a hint of sadness:

“After I confirmed Finna’s existence, my wife and I had a deep conversation all night.

Right in front of the tombstone of our first son.

I'm sure when I told her about this, my Catherine wanted to snatch my gun and kill me with a precise bullet.

She is such a woman.

She will not let herself be wronged, nor will she let her children be wronged.

But I know that Catherine's anger is not because I'm flirting with her outside.

She was just angry that I understood that truth too late. If I had the will and determination to give everything for Finna now, Drake would not have suffered a disaster."

The old sailor hugged the light woman in his arms tightly, and he closed his eyes and said:

"It was Katherine who asked me to take you back. She was still angry with me. She didn't come to see me off when I set off, but she didn't want me to endure another disaster like Drake's death.

She wanted to protect all the children in the Prodmore family, even if Finna was not her child.”

He lowered his head, looked at Mrs. Jin Jian's eyes, showed a headache-inducing smile, and said:

“There is already a woman that makes me unable to resist.

So, dear Gina, just be more obedient, okay? Your mages always have all kinds of strange abilities, and you can work between Kultilas and Quelthalas.

I don't force you to be by my side every day.

But on the land of my country, I can better protect you. Don’t let me miss my eldest daughter’s coming-of-age ceremony and her future life. I’m begging you.

You know mine, I am a king, I have the most powerful fleet in the whole world, and I can get everything I want.

I really rarely ask for people.”

Mrs. Jin Jian was like a young girl. She stretched out her fingers, poked her chin, and looked like she was thinking. After a few seconds, she reached out and touched Dailin's chin and said:

"Oh, who made me just unable to reject my little Dailin?

You are obviously no longer as handsome as you were when you were young, and I have already made plans, but after seeing you, I am still hopelessly fascinated by you again.

You must have used me the evil things of the witches in the legendary Kurtiras, otherwise you will not explain this unfamiliar attachment!”

As she spoke, she reached out to unbutton the buttons of Dailin's sailor's shirt and stroked the Admiral's chest.

Black is right!

Dai Lin also has a tattoo.

Just on his chest, the outline of a compass and the endless sea. This wild man left his ambitions on himself in this way when he was young.

He had the same wish as Black.

He wanted to make the entire endless sea a territory dominated by him. Unlike the pirate's ambition that had not yet begun to be implemented, Dai Lin's wish has been realized most of it.
