Shock and unease froze on Jaina's beautiful face.
Just from Duque's aura and gaze, Jaina knew that the person standing in front of her was her teacher, not her husband, Duque.
What the hell! Duque is for real?!
It was not that Jaina did not think that Duque would be for real, but in her estimation, the probability was less than one percent.
Even though she knew that her beauty was not necessarily better than Duque's rumored lovers, the Windrunner sisters. However, Jaina, who grew up in a royal family and was influenced by the nobility, still believed that she would be Duque's only choice in marriage.
Now it seemed that she was wrong.
She did not know why Duque looked at her with such resistance. She did not know if it was her fault or something else. Anyway, at this moment, Duque had completely put himself in the role of a strict teacher.
Her identity as a princess was meaningless?
Jaina almost wanted to refute Duke on the spot. However, she recalled the recent battle at the Dark Portal. Alterac had been destroyed, Silvermoon City had almost been taken over, and Stormwind and Stormgard had been destroyed. They had only managed to revive their countries.
Jaina immediately understood what Duque meant. If there was no country behind her, then the so-called princess was just a meaningless princess of a destroyed country.
Jaina's expression froze.
Duque was right.
Since ancient times, there was no kinship in the royal family, and the road to kingship was always filled with cruelty.
Others only saw the glory of being a princess, but who would know her bitterness and helplessness if they were not at her level? Someone as smart as she already knew that her seemingly perfect marriage was actually because she was expelled from the core of Kul Tiras's power.
Jaina fell silent, and for a moment, she had the thought of retreating. Since ancient times, all the princesses of the Seven Kingdoms had married outside, and all of them had died of depression. If she returned to Kul Tiras …
No!
If she really went back, even if she had to find a plausible reason. To Kul Tiras, she would be a disgrace.
Just look at Princess Kalia. Fortunately, she was killed. Otherwise, the fact that she was once the fiancée of Deathwing was enough to make King Terenas want to ban her for life.
Yes, if she returned, Kul Tiras would not protect her.
Although she was very talented in magic and had great potential, she was still far from Duque, who stood at the peak of the Alliance and was destined to become a Breaking Dawn Mage.
After thinking for a while, Jaina immediately made a decision.
With the staff in hand, Jaina bowed respectfully.
"Teacher Marcus, my surname is meaningless. In front of you is only Jaina, who came to learn the mysteries of magic."
It was a perfect and flawless answer.
Duque narrowed his eyes. He could not help but sigh at the astonishing inertia of history. Jaina's intelligence and talent were indeed astonishing. In just three seconds, she had realized the situation she was in and quickly found her position.
Duque used the identity of Dai Lin's teacher to suppress Jaina, and in the blink of an eye, Jaina became a student.
From the look in her eyes, she had already made up her mind to learn magic to protect herself first.
Damn it, she was only 13 years old!
As for Rhonin, who had experienced many battles but lacked knowledge, Duque could let her soar in the sea of knowledge in the Karazhan Grand Library.
As for Jaina, Duque decided to educate her in a way that could very likely change the course of her life.
"Alright, since you understand, I won't emphasize it anymore." Duque raised his face, "I'm different from Great Wizard Antonidas. Strictly speaking, he belongs to the academic faction, but I think I'm a classic example of a practical one. I've improved more than a hundred spells, all of which were adjusted in actual combat. The number of Beastmen that died by my hands is also in the five digits. "
Duque was not making things up. At this point, he had already mastered countless Metamagic Abilities. However, not every Metamagic Ability was suitable for him, and not all the time.
For example, the abilities that increased mana consumption to increase the power of spells. In the past, when his mana was low and his mana recovery was too slow, he had to use them according to the situation. Now that he had advanced to Radiant Moon, he could use them whenever he wanted.
The system was adjusting Duque's spells all the time.
This was how there was Duque, who was invincible in group attacks on the battlefield.
After killing a lot, there would naturally be a murderous aura.
It wasn't that there had to be vengeful spirits haunting that person, but it was a kind of indifference to life, even cruelty.
Duque just stood there, and under the pressure of his aura, Jaina couldn't help but take half a step back.
And Duque took a big step forward, his heavy footsteps weakening the pride in Jaina's heart.
Duque suddenly asked, "Actually, His Majesty Wrynn doesn't mind me being made a king. Do you know why I didn't? "
Jaina found that she actually didn't dare to breathe. "I don't know."
"The Burning Legion has already begun to move against the World of Azeroth. From Sargeras controlling Medivh to open the Dark Portal, to Kil 'jaeden's deputy attacking Karazhan not long ago. In just three years, the World of Azeroth has experienced two major crises of destruction. "
Jaina hugged her [Jordan's Staff] and couldn't help but nod.
"I have foreseen that the evil power that transcends the mortal world will descend rapidly. In the face of the terrifying power of the demons, worldly power is meaningless. So what if it's as powerful as Rotterdam? Maybe within ten years, Rotterdam will become history, and the great Rotterdam will also become a ruin. "
When Duque said this, Jaina shivered, and she had goosebumps. She really couldn't imagine the destruction of the beautiful Rotterdam.
She really wanted to refute Duque and say that it was a ridiculous rumor.
However, Stormwind City had fallen, Torrential Fortress and Broken Ridge had been destroyed. Even the Rotterdam Palace had been demolished by the Wings of Death. This was unimaginable a hundred years ago, no, even five years ago.
Jaina could only nod.
Fraud Du continued, "The only thing that can protect the World of Azeroth from the hands of the demons is the same power that transcends the mortal world. The one who can give you a sense of security is not a man, not a powerful grand duke, nor a prince of a big country! Remember, the only thing in your hands is magic! "
Jaina was extremely surprised. Even now, she couldn't believe that this was said by the person who was supposed to be her husband. However, she had to admit that if even the kingdom couldn't be trusted, then only magic could save her.
At this time, Duque suddenly grabbed Jaina's wrist, and a strange magic wrapped around both of them.
Teleportation!?
When Jaina recovered from the dizziness of the long-distance teleportation, she was shocked to find herself in a world of ice and snow.
