Of course, the authority of the lords in their own territory was a shock to the centralization of royal power, and in the past, in order to weaken the authority of these great lords, several kings of Lordaeron successively implemented a system of dual co-governance.

The so-called dual co-governance means that in some important cities, the royal family appoints the administrator of the city, handles the government affairs on behalf of the royal family, reports directly to the royal family, and manages the residents here with the lords here.

As the largest border town in the north of Lordaeron, Stratholme naturally falls into the category of these important cities.

Although the Rivendell family has sovereignty over the area, the mayor of Barrathass is appointed by Arthas's father, King Terenus, to assist or manage it with a bit of surveillance.

As soon as Baron Rivendell has any actions that may be detrimental to the royal family, Mayor Barassus will pass the news to the royal city of Lordaeron through a unique channel as soon as possible.

Under this dual system, if the lords want to rebel or rebel, they must first deal with the mayors and mayors around them.

This is certainly not an easy matter, these people are usually loyal to the royal family and are not so easy to buy, and even if the lords succeed in buying them, how can they be sure that these guys can be trusted?

After overthrowing the original lords, aren't these royal appointed administrators the most likely to become new lords?

The conflict of interests makes these mayors and lords always look at each other unpleasantly, and most of the two sides have nothing to do with each other.

The privileges of the nobility protected by law could not be violated without conclusive evidence, and correspondingly, the administrators, who represented the authority of the royal family, were not so easy to deal with.

That's why Baron Rivendell and Mayor Barassos don't get along so well.

Alsace spoke for a long time, but Winlessa listened even more confusedly.

"Alsace...... I...... I don't understand ......."

Winlesa said timidly to Arthas as she grabbed the corner of Aurelia's sister's coat, and her heart was full of self-reproach - why was she so stupid?

"Don't you understand? It's okay, it's not something you're supposed to know about Winlessa......"

Arthas said with a smile.

"Sister Aurelia ......"

Wen Lesa was still a little unwilling, she turned her head to look at her sister, looking pitiful.

Aurelia was amused by Winlessa's appearance, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her sister's face.

This unpromising little girl, when she was in Quel'Salas, every time she and Sylvanas talked about the Silvermoon Council, she would shout that it was boring, and then run to another room to hide.

And now, because of a few simple words from Alsace, this little girl has become interested in politics?

I don't know why, but Aurelia had such a thought in her mind.

The easy-going Aurelia thought that Sylvanas, who had always looked at Arthas unpleasantly, was not so good at talking.

Seeing that his sister Winlessa was becoming more and more influenced by Arthas, Sylvanas's worry became more and more intense.

In the next few days, I must talk to this abominable human pervert/ghost prince, and I must keep him away from his little sister!

It was then that Paul approached the mound where Alsace was located, attracting everyone's attention.

"What's the matter?"

Alsace asked Paul.

"Your Royal Highness Prince Arthas, the camp has been set up, ...... next?"

Paul bowed slightly, then asked Alsace.

Unlike N'Golo Kante, who was promoted by King Terenas to captain of the Royal Guard of Lordaeron, Paul has been able to get to where he is today entirely because of Arthas.

Or rather, it was the close relationship between Helena, the High Elf wife, and Aurelia Windranger, who was now resting at Lordaeron's home, that brought him into Arthas's sight.

Of course, Paul himself is not incompetent, otherwise he would not have been able to pass the selection of the Lordaeron Royal Guard, but sometimes, what people lack is just that little opportunity.

However, Paul is a very down-to-earth man, and despite his high position, he does not have the haughty attitude of the nouveau riche, whether it is in the face of his former colleagues or the royal family of Lordaeron, which he is loyal to, he is sincere.

This is also one of the important qualities that Alsace admires about Paul.

"Let's stay here for a while, and we'll have to wait for the rest of the army to join here. You can't stop your daily training, but if you want to, you can go to Stratholme for a while. Be careful not to disturb the people there, and keep our goals secret. ”

Alsace told Paul.

He said he was the commander of the army, but Arthas could not be in charge of everything, and Paul was chosen by King Terenus to help him.

"I see, His Royal Highness Prince Alsace, I will inform you. ”

Paul nodded and replied.

"Hmm. Then Mograini, we ...... Let's go?"

Still reassuring Paulo Alsace, he reached out and patted Paul on the shoulder, and then said to Mograini.

"Okay. ”

Mograine had a smile on his usual old-fashioned face, and although he had been away from the Lordaeron Royal Guard for many years, he could never forget the oath he had sworn allegiance to the Minethil family.

Not to mention the fact that he and Arthas had a deeper friendship, six years ago, they had been companions to each other for a long time.

"Let's go!"

Winlesa had recovered from her hesitation, and she happily took Sister Aurelia's hand and walked happily towards Stratholme in the distance.

For Winlessa, the human city has always filled her with freshness.

"Arthas, you know so much!"

Gianna said in an envious tone as she followed behind Arthas.

In the eyes of a girl in love, no matter what her lover does, she has a unique charm.

"Hmph, what does it have to do with you, you bad woman!"

Frostmourn scolds Gianna angrily, then hugs Arthas's arm tighter.

"Lady Frost, why are you ...... I ......"

Gianna's face flushed, it wasn't the first time she had been scolded like this by Frost Sorrow, but there were so many of them now......

After all, Gianna is still a girl who is still in love, and she still cares a lot about other people's eyes, although because Frost Sorrow is Alsace's real fiancée, Gianna, who feels guilty about her own careful thoughts, tolerates Frost Sorrow in every way, but what is happening now is indeed a little unacceptable to Gianna.

"Xiaoshuang, don't talk nonsense......"

Arthas tugged at Frostmourn's arm and stopped Frostmourn from trying to mock Gianna.

Although Arthas didn't have any good way to change many of her thoughts and opinions about this quirky little magic sword, it was for Gianna......

After all, it was something that didn't happen in this timeline, and Gianna had to endure too much because of these things, and Arthas couldn't bear it somewhat.

"Oh......"

Frost Grief nodded with a flat mouth, although he was a little unwilling, but in front of outsiders, the little demon sword had always listened to his master's words.

"Lady Frost is still the same......"

Mograini said with a smile as he followed Arthas.

"yes......"

Arthas sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Mograine knew Frostmourn very well, and when Arthas lied, he was just as present as Aurelia was, and had seen how easily Cadega was defeated at the hands of Frostmourn.

And in the process of going to Grimbaatar to rescue the Red Dragon Queen, Mograine also saw Frost Sorrow many times?
