Anduin deliberately feigned surprise, his face innocent and naive, and after pondering for a while, he said:
"Moira, in this world I only trust you, but Thrall is the Savior, Jaina is the Queen of Theramore. They both uphold righteousness, and I cannot refuse."
Killing people in the name of saving Azeroth is Thrall's secret to his invincibility.
Moira knew how terrible it was, like a person fighting against the whole world, but for her beloved Prince Anduin, she was willing to do anything.
"Anduin, rest in my bedroom first. Please give me some time. I know some extraordinary beings, such as the ancient sages of the Dark Iron Dwarves and the Elemental from Molten Core. I will go and consult with them; I'm sure we can find a solution."
With Anduin's life at stake, neither of them had any desire for pleasure.
Anduin stayed in Moira's bedroom, while Moira went to discuss countermeasures with her subordinates.
Jaina translated Thrall's handwritten letter and, knowing it was of great importance, hurriedly opened Portal and rushed to Stormwind City.
To their surprise, Prince Anduin had mysteriously disappeared.
Varian did not refuse Jaina. For some reason, he felt no affection for Anduin whatsoever. Although Varian Horde deep resentment towards the Horde, he would not offend Thrall over such a trivial matter.
One son dies, but another can be born; offending Thrall could mean losing the throne.
Jaina wasn't worried about not being able to find Anduin.
Having found Anduin's usual clothes, Jaina used the tracking spells taught to her by Aegwynn to quickly locate Anduin.
Blackrock Depths.
Jaina first wrote a letter to her best friend Moira, but then Jaina felt it was inappropriate, as Moira had told her best friend more than once that she liked Anduin.
Women in love are prone to making mistakes. To prevent Moira from going astray, Jaina decided to cleverly separate the couple. So, a secret letter was sent to Ironforge and delivered to King Magni Bronzebeard.
Magni Bronzebeard was so angry when he learned that his daughter Moira was having an affair with Prince Anduin his beard bristled.
As the secret Guardian of the World Tree, possessing numerous Titans Relics, and one of Elune Magni Bronzebeard considered himself superior and extraordinary.
His only regret in life was that he had few children, with only his beloved daughter Moira.
Fortunately Moira proved herself capable and skillful, much like her father. Through her efforts, she successfully eliminated King Bronzebeard's thorn in his side, Emperor Thaurissan, and brought the Dark Iron Dwarves under her rule.
Moira shouldn't be with Prince Anduin. Normally it wouldn't matter, but Prince Anduin is Thrall's chosen Vessel, and the implications are too great.
The enraged King Bronzebeard originally intended to lead a force of elite troops into Blackrock Depths, but then decided against airing his dirty laundry in public. Instead, he used the excuse of celebrating Moira's birthday to force his way in with a few trusted men.
King Bronzebeard was, after all, Queen Moira's father, and the Dark Iron Dwarves dared not stop him. He barged into the bedroom, catching King Bronzebeard red-handed just Prince Anduin fell asleep. King Bronzebeard glared at Anduin and roared:
"Prince Anduin, why are you sleeping in my daughter's bed?"
Upon seeing King Bronzebeard, Anduin and could only stammer, unable to utter a word.
Moira received the news and rushed over, only to find her furious father and Prince Anduin collapsed on the ground. Knowing her father's temper, Moira could only whisper her apologies.
"Father, there's nothing between us, it's just a misunderstanding."
Seeing King Bronzebeard's increasingly angry and ferocious expression, Moira quickly apologized:
"I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I'll never do it again."
Moira admitted her mistake, and King Bronzebeard's anger gradually subsided. He looked at his daughter with doting eyes and shook his head, saying:
"Daughter, I am very disappointed in you. Do you know where you went wrong? I taught you long ago that there is no love under the throne, and whoever takes it seriously loses. Let this matter go, but I hope you can learn from this lesson and not act impulsively in the future. I am old, and the future King of Ironforge can only be you. You must first learn to have a cold heart. Tonight's events must be kept secret, and all those who know about them must be eliminated. I will Prince Anduin to return to Ironforge."
Moira bit her lip and said nothing; she didn't have the courage to disobey her father.
Anduin was finally able to stand up, and walked out of the room with his head held high like a Prince. As he passed Moira, he secretly placed a note in her hand.
Moira gripped the note tightly, as if it held Anduin's life in her hands.
King Bronzebeard led Anduin away, Moira opened the note.
"My dearest Moira, I've prepared a birthday present and left it at the inn in Thorium Point. The innkeeper will give it to you upon seeing this note."
Moira almost burst into tears, but she forced back her tears and rode her Gryphon to Thorium Point.
Anduin's gift was a small box. Inside, upon opening, was a precious Scrying Gem and a letter written by Anduin.
"Moira, by the time you read this letter, we will probably be separated forever. I wanted to prepare a precious gift for you, a crown studded with jewels, but unfortunately, time will not allow it."
"When I was very young, the court scholars secretly taught me that there is no kinship under the rule of the king. In the near future, when you inherit the throne of Ironforge, the biggest obstacle will definitely come from your relatives, the two brothers of King Bronzebeard, who are your two uncles."
"Muradin Bronzebeard, in particular, is extremely ambitious and has never submitted to King Bronzebeard. He believes he is the most suitable heir to the throne. Although we are not destined to be together in this life, I have a way to help you eliminate this threat."
"Muradin Bronzebeard forged Frostmourne, which objectively contributed to the birth of the Scourge. This was not a secret among the leaders of Azeroth, but there was no evidence to prove it."
"This Scrying Gem contains evidence that Muradin Bronzebeard forged Frostmourne. With this leverage, Muradin Bronzebeard not dare to challenge you for the throne."
Moira's tears flowed uncontrollably as she trembled and activated the Scrying Gem.
Tirion Fordring claimed to have killed the Lich King Arthas, but since Tirion Fordring was the only survivor of the Lich King's War, no one could vouch for him, leading many to doubt his claim and suspect Tirion Fordring was lying.
Tirion Fordring then produced a fragment of Frostmourne as evidence.
The Frostmourne shards were originally placed in Dalaran for people to admire. One day, Muradin Bronzebeard visited Dalaran, examined the Frostmourne shards closely, and loudly proclaimed that they were fake.
Muradin's protest displeased the Dalaran Mages, and the two argued heatedly, during which Muradin inadvertently revealed many secrets.
This scene was recorded by a thoughtful monk.
Muradin lost his temper and blurted out:
"I am the best blacksmith in Azeroth. Frostmourne was forged by my own hand. Do you think I don't recognize my own work?"
A Dalaran Mages, unconvinced, questioned, "Lies? You think you can forge Frostmourne?"
Muradin jumped up and roared, "My brother can forge Ashbringer, why can't I forge Frostmourne?"
The Dalaran Mages immediately retorted, "Your brother is a fool too. His daughter was kidnapped by the Dark Iron Dwarves' King and even had a child with him, becoming the biggest joke in Azeroth. From now on, half of the throne of Ironforge will belong to the Dark Iron Dwarves."
Muradin roared without restraint, "What do you bunch of good-for-nothings know? My brother has a Bastard Son, and if Moira disobeys, this Bastard Son will inherit the throne."
Moira stopped crying instantly.
