In the palatial palace of Riptide Castle, in a luxurious living room, an old man wearing a gold-trimmed pajama is buried at his desk, carefully reading a letter. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info on the right hand side of the old man, and there is a large stack of letters waiting for him to open and read.

The old man wore a small golden crown on his head, and his hands with tawny age spots slowly turned the letters, his brows furrowed, as if he were considering something, and at last the old man took a quill dyed gold, and quickly wrote a few lines on it, and then placed the letter on his left hand, and picked another volume from the unopened letters, and examined them carefully.

This old man is the current owner of Riptide Castle, King Sorath, the ruler of the Arathi Highlands, and under his leadership, the kingdom of Stormgard is based in the barren Arathi Highlands, but it is famous throughout the continent of Azeroth for its powerful army.

King Solas was reviewing the letter presented by his chamberlain today, and as the orc army approached, the atmosphere in the kingdom of Stormgard became more and more tense, and many nobles and military generals, and even the big merchants in the country had letters to the king, expressing their worries about the impending war, or hoping for support.

King Soras's golden quill pen rustled rapidly on the paper, and at that moment His Majesty was interrupted by a slight knock at the door, and he put down his pen with a frown, and after drying the ink on the letter, he put it back on the table, and then sat upright, and said in a loud voice, "Come in, Kurbanke." ”

King Solas's voice was loud and majestic, and after receiving his permission, the door of the room was gently pushed open, and a capable middle-aged man with his head hanging and a tray in his hand, with small steps, quietly came to King Solas's side, placed the tray on his desk, and whispered, "Your supper is ready, Your Majesty." ”

"Hmm. King Solas nodded, and looked at the food on the tray—a small pot of fragrant potato soup, and two plates of bacon and bacon rolls that were charred on the outside and tender on the inside, just enough to whet the appetite of the young and strong self who had recently lacked exercise, but not too greasy.

"Kurbanke, tell me what is happening in the palace today! I heard a commotion in the evening, but I was so busy dealing with the letters that Terenus and Anduin Lothar wrote to me that I couldn't get out of it, and what happened to you, as my chamberlain, made you feel a little troubled and unable to deal with it properly?" King Solas gently stirred the spoon and slowly brought the steaming soup to his mouth, then forked a piece of the bacon roll with a fork, stuffed it into his mouth and crunched it.

"Yes, my Imperial Majesty. This evening, His Royal Highness Prince Christophe was in the royal palace...... A banquet was held, at which he and ...... He had some conflicts with the young master of the Dillab, and I dealt with it a little later. So it is my responsibility to cause a commotion and disturb His Majesty the Emperor. King Soras's chamberlain, Kurbanke, still had his head bowed, his long arms almost down to his knees, and even though he meant to blame himself, his voice was still flat and low, without a hint of emotion.

"Christopher?" King Solas visibly increased his chewing on the salted meat rolls, as if mentioning something that made him less comfortable, "if this boy can have one-tenth of Danas's talent and cultivation, I will be worthy of my brother, his dead father." Pity...... Is it because of a noble lady in her thirties all day long, and she still spins around under a woman's skirt like a flower/flower/male/son all day long, which is really useless!"

"Yes. Kurbanke replied in the affirmative, and did not know which question King Solas was answering - was it true that Prince Kristof was in conflict with other nobles because of the rivalry, or that Prince Kristof was indeed very unproductive?

"Forget it, don't mention him, or I won't even be able to eat supper. King Solas seemed a little disappointed, waved his fork, and said, "Kurbanke, Terenus told me that the army of Lordaeron and Stormwind is about to enter the Arathi Heights, what do you think about this?"

"Your Majesty, I think His Majesty King Terenus is a very wise monarch, and he would not make such a misleading and disruptive request if he did not have the necessary reasons. "Kurbanke seems to have high praise for His Majesty the King of the neighboring country.

"Yes, I think so too. Terenus had always been the most sensible, and he probably wouldn't have made such a request unless he had to. I haven't figured out exactly what's going on in Southsea in his letter, but I can be sure that the pressure on the Dammod Fortress is much heavier. King Solas sighed.

"Then, Your Majesty the Emperor, do you need to inform His Royal Highness Prince Danas to pay attention to the movements of the Dammod Fortress, and if necessary, decisively provide support?" Kurbanke still lowered his head and put forward his opinion - the relationship between the Dwarven Kingdom and the Kingdom of Azeroth is very good, but it has little intersection with the Kingdom of Stormgard, and the two sides have been stationed at both ends of the Sador Bridge for many years, and there has been no communication, which is why Kurbanke suggested this.

"Don't worry, Danas will think of that. Oh yes, is there any news from Garin?" King Solas abruptly changed the subject. His eldest son, Garin Torbain, had been clamoring for a few days to be his nephew Danas at the forward position at the northern end of the Sador Bridge, but King Solas had not agreed, and almost at the same time, a request for help from Blackmore, lord of Dunhold Castle, had made King Solas find an excuse to send his immature son out of his own ear, lest he would be whispering in his ears all the time.

But after all, although Garin had not been gone for long, King Solas had already begun to worry, so he asked his chamberlain if there was any news from there.

"Not yet, Your Majesty, but I don't think there will be any surprise to Prince Garin, maybe he's just having fun outside, and wants to come back with a little bit of relaxation. Kurbanke knew about it, but he didn't take it to heart - since the news came from there that a mage had betrayed the alliance and colluded with the orcs, then it would be useless for Prince Garin to go, and a mage could not be able to resist Prince Garin's elite troops, but if he was bent on escaping, by the time Prince Garin arrived, he would have run away long ago.
