The noise at the dinner table stopped abruptly. The plate in Sanjohong Dragon Maid's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
"Female Queen" Misha was the first to kneel down, tears welling up in her eyes. Followed by Aella and Luna, the three red Dragon Maid knelt down in a row, their shoulders shaking constantly.
Red Dragon Queen - maintaining the form of High Elf - was still in a state of shock. Her eyes moved from Deren surrounded by the girls, to Anveena holding his arm, to Chromie leaning on Onyxia, and finally landed on the three red Dragon Maid who were kneeling and crying.
"I, I just..." Alexstrasza stuttered rarely. The usually dignified Life-Binder was like a lost girl at the moment, "Come and see them."
Onyxia rolled her eyes and leaned back lazily on her chair. "Have you seen enough? Do you want to join this stupid morning sorority?" She deliberately made the word "sorority" very long, and her tone was full of sarcasm.
Black Dragon had a look of displeasure on her face when she ran to someone else's house silently without even saying hello. She couldn't help but think of the anger she suffered when training "Dragon Egg Rapid Transport Device".
Deren poked Black Dragon Princess with his elbow, then with difficulty pulled his arm out of Anveena's arms, stood up and saluted. "Master Life-Binder, welcome to your arrival. Do you want to have breakfast together?"
Alexstrasza's expression seemed to have seen the most ridiculous and touching scene in the world at the same time. Deren's house was filled with people and people were attending the Jingjing Dharma Festival, which was beyond her expectation. She wanted to ask, but was afraid of disturbing this mortal man's life. Besides, the purpose of her trip was to visit her three children.
She slowly walked towards the three red Dragon Maid, stretched out her hand and caressed Misha's head. "Get up, children."
"We have shamed you," Aella sobbed, tears falling on the back of Red Dragon Queen's hands, "Queen, we miss you so much."
Red Dragon Queen shook her head, with a complicated light flashing in her eyes. "No, it's not your fault. This is damn fate!" She used a rare curse word, her voice full of self-blame, "I should have found you earlier."
After the hasty breakfast, Chromie reported in detail to Alexstrasza how three Red Dragons were rescued. Little Bronze Dragon danced with his hands He happily described how he was imprisoned in a cage and almost lost his innocence. Finally, Onyxia rushed into the Dragonmaw Clan cave without any moral ethics and directly used the dragon's breath to open the cave, destroying all the enemies.
"Onyxia not only saved you and Kael, but also saved these three poor children. He also killed a group of hateful orcs." Red Dragon Queen finished listening, He looked at Black Dragon and Deren with complicated expressions, "You not only took in my child, but also took care of Chronormu. I should say thank you to you."
Deren shrugged, as if it was just a trivial matter. "They need a safe place. Besides." He glanced at Onyxia, who was grabbing the cake with Anveena, "Although someone doesn't admit it, he actually enjoys this lively family atmosphere."
Alexstrasza's eyes wandered between Deren and the female companions around him. "Some kind of fate line has been disturbed by you." She said softly, more like talking to herself, "But I can't blame you for this."
She turned to Sanjohong Dragon Maid and talked to them in a low voice. Deren noticed that there was both guilt and love in Queen's eyes, just like a mother facing her long-lost child. Luna seemed to have said something interesting, causing Queen to chuckle - that smile made the whole room a little brighter.
Finally, Alexstrasza was about to leave. She turned to Deren: "Treat Chronormu well." Then he hesitated for a moment, and glanced at the three red Dragon Maid, "And my children."
"Wait a minute!" Deren suddenly shouted, an idea flashed through his mind, "Jaina, can you bring Derek?"
Jaina's eyes lit up and she immediately understood Deren's intention. She quickly chanted the spell and cast Teleportation Spell. A moment later, her brother Derek·Proudmoore appeared in the living room, with the horrific burn scar on his face particularly conspicuous.
"This is...?" Derek looked at the room full of people and dragons in confusion. The son of Admiral maintained a tall and straight posture as a soldier even in casual situations, but the confusion in his eyes betrayed his confusion.
Deren bowed deeply to Alexstrasza: "Sir Life-Binder, can you please treat his scar? This is an injury sustained in an "accident"." He deliberately avoided the sensitive word "Red Dragon flame".
The air in the room solidified. Alexstrasza quietly looked at the scars on Derek's face - those were the injuries caused when Red Dragon was controlled by orcs during the Second War period. A history that all Red Dragon wanted to forget. But Deren did not speak out, giving her the last dignity.
After a short silence, Red Dragon Queen walked towards Derek. She reached out and touched the scar lightly, and life energy flowed like a spring breeze. Not only the scar on her face was repaired, but also the hidden wounds left when she was imprisoned by the orcs.
"Past mistakes cannot be changed," she whispered, her voice carrying the vicissitudes of a thousand years, "But pain can be healed."
The scars melted away like ice and snow, and Derek's face returned to its original state. Jaina covered her mouth and tears fell silently. For a long time, she had been blaming herself for her brother's injury, and now she finally got redemption.
"Thank you" Derek touched his smooth cheek, his voice choked with sobs. Tears filled the eyes of this strong soldier. In excitement, he could only say these three words.
Alexstrasza did not answer. She took one last look at the three red Dragon Maid, and then at Chromie who was nestling next to Onyxia. An unreadable smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Then, in a burst of red light, she disappeared.
Jaina and Derek hugged each other tightly, crying with joy. Vereesa was still depressed about Dragon Maid's figure, while Sylvanas looked at Deren thoughtfully, seeming to be reassessing the value of this human being.
Onyxia yawned and stretched. "I finally left. Can I continue to have breakfast now?" Her tone was still arrogant, but Deren noticed that her eyes looking at Sanjohong Dragon Maid were much softer.
Deren looked at the chaos and warmth in the room and suddenly smiled, "Of course, dear. After all, this is our ordinary day." He ruffled Anveena's hair and winked at Santiaohong Dragon Maid, "Can you give me another cup of coffee?"
Outside the window, the sun is just right, and Theramore has started a new day. In the distant Treasure Bay, Goblin Prince Rivendare is rubbing his hands excitedly, leading his closest goblin accountants to prepare for the implementation of the "Twilight Finance" plan proposed by Deren.
Seventh update. Nothing to say, keep blasting~
