Chapter 441 The True and False Arthas (Part 1)
Sylvanas returned to Silvermoon City, while Richard was still staying in Sylvanas Fortress. The flames in front of the fortress were still burning there, and it burned for three whole days before the fire was extinguished. Then, Richard received the battle report from Alterac.
After the defeat in Quel'Thalas, the Scourge Legion turned its guns and rushed directly to Alterac and Stromgarde. In Alterac, the Goddess of Four Seasons took advantage of the terrain and continuously blocked the enemy at one level after another. To this day, the undead have not yet reached the capital of Alterac. However, according to the current progress, the undead will still be at the gates of the city in a few days.
Since Silvermoon City doesn't welcome Richard, Richard doesn't plan to go to Silvermoon City to make trouble for himself. In fact, he still can't think of any words to deceive Sylvanas. Instead of thinking of anything, he might as well do business. Alterac is his base in the human world, and he must not lose it! After simply packing his bags, Richard led several legions and headed straight for Alterac.
In Silvermoon City, Vereesa was also packing her luggage after hearing the news of Richard's departure. Sylvanas, who was originally alone upstairs, heard the sound of screaming downstairs and hurried to Vereesa's room.
"What are you doing?"
"Ouch!" Vereesa was startled and pouted at her sister. "You scared me!"
"Why are you packing? There are no combat missions for you recently. Where are you going?"
"Alterac!"
Sylvanas's eyes became very strange, confused and suddenly realized, angry and worried: "You like Richard, right?"
"Yes!" At this point, Vereesa didn't intend to hide it. She straightened her chest and said it loudly.
Hearing the affirmative answer, Sylvanas' voice became much calmer: "Why?"
Vereesa sat on the bed, with a beautiful smile on her face, recalling: "I like heroes! He appeared at the most critical moment of my life and saved me, so I decided that he was the one for this life!"
"Even if he has had affairs with many women?"
"That's right!" Vereesa stood up again, her eyes meeting Sylvanas's. "I've known for a long time that he has relationships with the women around him. I've seen him with my sister with my own eyes..."
Sylvanas' pupils shrank: "You mean him and my sister?"
Vereesa smiled: "Didn't you know it a long time ago? My sister has sneaked out at night many times, and every time she had a tryst. You know everything, but you pretend to know nothing. If you hadn't been unable to help and run into them this time, wouldn't you still be hiding it now? The fact that you don't want me to go to Richard is not because of my consideration, but because you can't play with this man in your heart. You don't want me to be with him, because you can turn a blind eye to other women around him, but you can't face your relatives being with him..."
"Don't say anymore..." Sylvanas leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
"Sister... I'm not a little girl anymore. I have the right to choose my own happiness. Since you have decided to draw a line between you and him, I don't need to hide behind you anymore..."
Sylvanas interrupted Vereesa: "Do you think this is happiness?"
"I think that as long as I am with him, I feel happy. I don't care how many people are around him."
"Alas..." Sylvanas sighed, "Go, I won't stop you. I hope you won't regret it in the future."
"Thank you, sister." Vereesa muttered softly, then turned and left.
Sylvanas leaned back in his chair and opened his eyes. Happy? What exactly is happiness? Why does his sister think that sharing a man with a bunch of women is happiness? Is it really because of old feelings that he doesn't want his sister to go there? Is hiding here not to draw a line but to escape?
"Why are you staying here?" Alleria suddenly walked in and interrupted Sylvanas's thoughts. Seeing his sister come in, Sylvanas stood up quickly.
"Sister, you're back."
"Hmm, hm? Wait, raise your head!" Alleria frowned and looked at her, "You were crying just now? What happened?"
"Well, that... nothing."
Alleria put her hands on her hips unhappily, "Why, can't I have a smooth conversation with my sister?"
Sylvanas shook his head, gritted his teeth and thought for a long time before finally asking, "Sister... are you and Richard really..."
"Really what?" Looking at her eyes, Alleria understood what she wanted to ask. She didn't want to hide it, and nodded very straightforwardly, "Yes, we had a relationship, more than once."
"Why? He is my fiancé! I would accept anyone else, but my sister..."
Alleria shook her head: "Our first time was earlier than yours."
Sylvanas' words were choked in his throat. According to Alleria, this would make her snatch her sister's "husband". Sylvanas recalled the memory at that time. It seemed that there was indeed something abnormal when her sister quarreled with Turayan. Did it start at that time? This... seems to be true...
Sylvanas sat on the stool in a daze. Alleria went over, patted her on the shoulder and said, "My sister, don't let these problems cloud your head now. No matter how you think about it, he will not be yours alone. I originally wanted to discuss the defense plan with you, but now it seems that I should leave you here alone to think about it. If you are willing, go back to him. If you are not willing, break up with him completely. I will go to the fortress myself."
"Then... thank you, sister."
"This is also my job. Take good care of Silvermoon City. I'm on the front line!"
"Yeah!"
Quel'Thalas no longer has the main force of the undead, but there are still a large number of undead creatures disturbing it, and the state of war has not been lifted. Because the undead have gone to Alterac, only Loki and his demon army are left in Sylvanas Fortress. The main force has now arrived in Alterac.
Alterac is now extremely busy, with busy figures everywhere, especially the war hall that was temporarily converted from the palace. Officials come and go every moment to report.
"Report! It has been confirmed that the undead leader Tichondrius has appeared in Stromgarde, and Arthas has appeared in the Alterac Mountains."
Tichondrius lost an arm, but it seems that nothing has happened to him, and he can still lead his soldiers to continue fighting. And Iori had clearly sent a message that Tichondrius's mission was to monitor Arthas, so his presence meant that Arthas was also here, but Richard still wanted to confirm.
"Where is Arthas? I want to go see for myself!"
