As the saying went, beauties were picturesque.
In the eyes of an artist, a beauty's every frown, smile, cry, or throw a tantrum could all be included in a painting.
There were many famous beauties in the World of Azeroth.
In terms of looks, blonde hair and blue eyes, which were very common here, did not add much to Jaina's score.
In terms of figure, there were many women who were more voluptuous than Jaina.
In the Alliance, no one was more famous or controversial than Jaina.
Why?
Perhaps everyone often criticized Jaina's talent as a social butterfly.
Or perhaps she sold her father and pretended to cry.
However, it could not be forgotten that she was the one who promoted the first alliance between the Horde and the Alliance and participated in the Battle of Mount Hyjal.
In that battle, the heroes of Azeroth faced Archimonde, the boss of the Burning Legion!
He was a terrifying existence that surpassed a single Alliance, Horde, and the self-enclosed Night Elves at that time.
To be able to make a cross-faction alliance and personally go to the battlefield in front of a great enemy, it had to be said that Jaina's courage and boldness at that time were absolutely top-notch.
Unfortunately, no one was perfect. Later in history, Jaina turned evil and did stupid things. That was another matter.
Admittedly, Duque could marry her and use the righteous title of a legal husband to suppress Jaina and have sex with her. Then, they would have sex every day and get pregnant. Then, they would have to carry two or four babies every three years.
When she joined the Reincarnation Guerrilla Force and had babies everywhere, Duque did not believe that she would not become useless …
However, history had changed greatly. Duque believed that after giving Jaina a strong dose of medicine back then, Jaina would no longer be so close to the Orcs. Similarly, from the age of 13 to adulthood, the environment in which she grew up had been greatly purified.
Now that Duque controlled the lifeline of the Alliance, Jaina should be controllable.
So, it would be a waste to cripple Jaina.
Looking at Jaina, who pursed her lips slightly and had a stubborn and wise glint in her eyes, Duque knew that he had finally found a balance on how to deal with Jaina.
Duque sighed softly. "As a commander, my vision is destined to be different from that of ordinary people. Give the griffins a sky, give the generals a battlefield, and give the veterans a home to return to … I've always been an advocate of using things according to the person. Jaina, from the first day I met you, I knew that it would be a waste to lock someone as smart and wise as you up in the backyard. That would be a waste of Kul 'Tiras, a waste of the entire Alliance … "
When Duque said this, Jaina's face was still filled with shock. This kind of change was too unexpected, and it suddenly grasped her Achilles heel and scratched the most itchy part of her heart. Her maiden heart started to beat wildly against her will.
"The same person, when faced with the same situation, will make different choices due to their different personalities. For example, Kaliya, I once asked her personally, 'If she was locked up in the palace, what would she do?' Her answer was that she lamented her fate and bore it all in silence … "
Hence, when the historical Kalia fell, she did not choose to come out and claim the throne. Because she was locked up for more than 10 years, although she did not speak, she hated her father, Terenas. Instead, she lived in seclusion until the Burning Legion invaded a few decades later, when she was middle-aged, she came out again.
When Duque mentioned Kaliya, Jaina was undoubtedly deeply touched. Because, at the same time, there were not many princesses in the various human kingdoms.
"Jaina, you are different. Although forming a caravan seems like a silly move, in fact, you are building your own power. You have always been trying to resist your own fate. You are resisting the seemingly inevitable fate of being the daughter of the royal family, but having to marry and have children! "
Duque's words made Jaina feel as if her whole body was electrified. She could not tell if it was shock, shock, or numbness. Her beautiful lips moved for a long time, but she could not squeeze out a word.
"I yearn for freedom, and hate being bound by fate just like you. But I am different from you. I am not of noble birth, and I do not have the mindset of sacrificing myself for the family. Hence, I have always rejected political marriages from the very beginning. Since that is the case … "Duque paused and took out a stack of documents and passed it to Jaina.
Jaina took it in a daze. It was a list of refugees.
"This is …"
"The northern continent of Lordaeron has been destroyed. Especially the former territory of Lordaeron. Other than the southernmost part of the continent near the Hillsbrad Hills, most of the areas have been infected by the plague. This continent can no longer support so many people, so migration is inevitable. "
Jaina raised her head. "Didn't you say that, just like how Southshore took in the refugees from Stormwind during the last war, they would first take in the people to the Western Wilderness?"
"That is generally the case, but you have forgotten one thing. The southern continent has a small population. When we moved all of them there, there were only about 600,000 people. The northern continent of Lordaeron has always been the main settlement of humans. We have calculated that even if we filled up Stormwind, it would not be able to accommodate all the refugees. "
"Then …"
Duque brought Jaina to a table. There was a map of the southern continent pinned to the table.
"Whether the humans and High Elves are willing or not, they have to open up new territory. For now, the direction is Stranglethorn Vale, south of the Twilight Forest. But it is not easy there because there are many trolls. Moreover, not everyone is willing to go to the southern continent with the Alliance. "
"You mean …" Jaina's heart beat faster. She seemed to have grasped what Duque wanted to say.
"Not only the people from Torrential Castle, but also the people from Gilnis. Because their country once left the Alliance, even though I have already ordered them to treat the refugees equally. In fact, the refugees from these two countries are still severely discriminated against and even abused. " At this point, Duque also sighed. He had left so many backup plans to prevent Jaina from courting death and inciting these people to travel across the ocean with her.
Who knew that at this point, there were many things that could not be solved with a single order from him.
There were policies from above, and countermeasures from below.
If the people above said no, the people below would still pay lip service. There were even soldiers from Stormwind who bullied the refugees from these two countries.
Duque did not have so much energy to care about such details. In the end, many of the people who escaped from these two countries really became refugees among refugees. If left alone, they would be abused to death sooner or later. This was a chaotic world. It was normal for thousands of refugees to die.
"Jaina, I hope to establish a bridgehead for the Alliance in the Kalimdor Continent. On one side, it is to monitor the Horde, and on the other side, it is to deal with the possible invasion of the Calamity Army. I want to give this task to you. Can you do it? "
