A terrifying, Undead face stood before Experiment 335.
It was a distorted, pale face, with an empty left eye and a crooked mouth, as if enduring immense pain. He had a short black beard, wore a captain's hat, and a dark Tyr naval uniform.
Experiment 335 was so frightened he almost screamed, but luckily Robbie held onto his arm tightly. The pain brought him back to his senses and gave him courage, preventing him from losing control.
Let me introduce myself.
Jaina's tone was distinctly threatening, colder than the icy sea breeze. "This is my father, Daelin Proudmoore, Admiral Varian of Tyr. Have you met him?"
Although it sounded like casual conversation or a routine introduction between nobles, Jaina's undisguised threatening tone made Robbie and Experiment 335 feel a deep sense of malice; this was a deliberate attempt to establish her authority.
Jaina understood the principle of using both kindness and severity. She first lured Varian with benefits, but once he boarded the Sea's Sovereignty and became part of Jaina's pirate ship, he had to put away his King airs and act according to Jaina's wishes.
This is not Stormwind City; Varian no longer has the advantage of King.
It's time to shed the pretense and reveal her true colors. She's capable of killing and resurrecting even her own father; what wouldn't she do? Jaina longs to control King Varian Anduin.
"Oh! We've met before, I was just a little kid back then."
Experiment 335 was uneasy, his teeth chattering. He tried to keep his tone calm, but he couldn't.
Jaina's viciousness, not even sparing her own father, far exceeded her expectations, making Experiment 335 truly experience what fear is.
"Is that so? Heh!"
Jaina heard the tremor in the King's voice and gave a smug, cold laugh.
This won't do. Robbie's eyes twitched. This puts them at a disadvantage. They must make Jaina respect King Varian, otherwise she will inevitably face all sorts of difficulties and things will not go smoothly.
Daelin's resurrection was a complete failure. It was the work of some Lich, as he couldn't even remember his identity in life and just stood there dumbly.
Of course, it wasn't just Daelin who was resurrected; the Sea's Sovereignty were filled with busy, Undead sailors.
Robbie approached Daelin and said frankly:
"Oh my, King Varian, Daelin is my idol, the great Admiral of the Navy! I've finally met him." Robbie's tone was unusually calm, which surprised Jaina. How could a guard have such courage? She felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where.
Robbie opened his arms and hugged Daelin tightly, completely ignoring the stench of death emanating from her, even through the thick armor.
Jaina looked incredulous. Robbie slightly to the side, blocking Jaina's view, and kept giving winks to Experiment 335.
Experiment 335 understood immediately and deliberately asked, "Um, why is the Navy Commander your idol?"
Robbie gazed at the dark ocean beneath the night sky, opening his arms as if to embrace everything before him:
"Your King, do you know that the sea has a great heart, capable of encompassing everything about me? Its magnificent and turbulent power makes me more resilient. I love the sea, I admire the sea. Jaina is known as the Daughter of the Sea, Daelin is Jaina's father. Aren't they just like the sea?"
Upon hearing this, Jaina's face turned ashen, and she was on the verge of exploding with rage. These words were like rubbing salt into an old wound.
"I see."
Experiment 335 finally mustered up her courage, revealing a nonchalant expression, and with a quick dart of her eyes, retorted:
"No, you're wrong. If what you're saying is true, then Jaina's mother, Katherine, should also be the sea, isn't that correct?"
"What a joke!" Jaina's face immediately darkened. It was one thing for the guards to be so reckless and ignorant, but as the King, didn't you realize your predicament? Were you going to make the same mistake?
Jaina suppressed her anger; she wanted to see what these two were up to.
Robbie immediately shook his head and said, "No, King Majesty, you are wrong. It should be the father who is the sea, and the daughter takes the father's surname."
"Hehe, that's because you lack experience." Experiment 335 winked and said mischievously.
"The mother is definitely real, but who can guarantee that Jaina is definitely Daelin's daughter? A man who's been at sea all year round, a beautiful but lonely noblewoman, how many men have tried to woo her, you know."
Robbie waved his hands repeatedly. "That doesn't make sense, Your King. This is just speculation. Where's the evidence? The evidence?"
Experiment 335's eyes widened. "What I said is true, are you the King or am I the King?"
Jaina was seething with anger, like a bloated pufferfish. She couldn't take it anymore; she wanted to throw those two despicable people into the sea to give herself some peace and quiet.
"Enough!"
A clear, sweet female voice rang out.
Jaina had just opened her mouth, before she could even utter a sound, when the sound made her mind go blank.
Vanessa's slender figure appeared beside Robbie, her terrifying eyes glaring at the two of them:
"You two, stop arguing, it's so annoying."
Robbie and Experiment 335 both fell silent and stood obediently together. Experiment 335, in particular, turned ashen-faced with fear, like a child who had done something wrong.
Jaina was terrified. She hadn't noticed at all when there was another person on the ship, especially a dangerous Stealth.
In this world, mages are incredibly powerful, but they cannot overcome the weakness of the human body. A Stealth assassin hidden in the shadows is always a mage's nightmare.
Could it be that King Varian had such a powerful strategist hidden among his men?
Jaina's mind raced through a multitude of guesses. She first ruled out the possibility that it was someone from the Black Dragon Princess, as the Black Dragon Princess would absolutely not allow King Varian to enter Theramore.
Or perhaps it's a hidden force within Kingdom of Stormwind, a reclusive family, or maybe a noble family from Lordaeron. Varian was able to survive despite the Black Dragon Princess's absolute power, so it seems he had some allies.
Jaina's expression quickly shifted from gloomy to affectionate, revealing a kind and perfect smile. She knew she was probably no match for the two guards and felt a sense of awe.
"King Varian, esteemed envoys, I have prepared tea and pastries, which are in the cabin," Jaina said with impeccable manners, as if she had not heard their conversation at all.
That unpleasant incident passed just like that.
The Sea's Sovereignty is not an ordinary sailing ship; it is a specially built ghost ship. When there is fog at sea, it absorbs the power of the fog and travels at an extremely high speed, almost as if it were flying on the sea.
The next morning, before Jaina had even gotten out of bed, she heard beautiful singing coming from the sea.
"Be careful, be careful, Daughter of the Sea!"
-When he sank to the bottom of the sea,
The sea breeze carried his last words.
On the blood-stained shores of Kalimdor
That was the burial ground for the sailors.
The general fell in the harbor.
Because she left his side,
Ah, why, oh why, Daughter of the Sea.
Have you forgotten the days at sea?
The glory and hope of our nation!
Why did she lose her way?
"Who is it? Who is that damned Daughter of the Sea is Back'?"
Jaina was furious. She hastily threw on her robes and stormed out of the cabin.
Robbie, Vanessa, Experiment 335 were all on deck, listening intently to the song coming from the depths of the ocean.
