"According to the vote, the tax that was temporarily added this time (originally for the purpose of redeeming the king) was officially passed as a fixed tax. So...... Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The speaker yelled a few times, but it was Katrana who leaned into Varian's ear to wake up the drowsy Varian.

"Oh, what's wrong?" Varian looked at Katrana blankly, "I've been a little tired lately, sorry, where have I been?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that the tax bill has passed. Do you want to ask Your Majesty if there is anything else you want to say? Katrana stroked his hair tenderly.

"Passed? Oh...... So be it. Varian replied unhappily.

"Okay!" Katrana replied with a smile, "Your Majesty, bear with me a little longer, it will be over soon." She looked up and exchanged a knowing look with the Speaker. Next topic. ”

"Looks like the main event is coming." Magni, who had been invited to sit in as a guest of honor, muttered under his breath. "Bolwal, be restrained." He glanced at Berval's hand, which was already clenched into a fist.

Boval gritted his teeth, his heart filled with anger.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... Be quiet! Be quiet! The Speaker of the Noble Council tapped the gavel in his hand. Now for the next item - I'm proposing only in my capacity as Speaker of the Stormwind Noble Council! ”

"His Majesty the King has returned safely, it is a blessing for me to Stormwind City, and a blessing to the Kingdom of Azeroth!" The Speaker said in a low voice, looking around. His gaze swept over the ugly face of Berval and the relatively impassive Magni, and he smiled triumphantly.

Unbeknownst to him, Magni was whispering at this time, "Look at him like an old rooster with his head held high...... Cut. I really want to break his neck......"

Beside him, Boval's knuckles were already clenching uncontrollably. However, there was nothing he could do to stop what was about to happen.

"I propose that on this festive day of Your Majesty's return, we should have a new mistress in Stormwind as well! I propose! The Speaker gestured to Varian's smiling Katrana. Countess Catlana. ”

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

Noisy echoes rang out.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" The Speaker bowed humbly to the King.

Bolval stared at Varian, trying to find a reaction from his numb face.

Varian raised his eyes and looked at the Speaker coldly. "Your proposal?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. The first queen has been dead for a long time, and Your Majesty is upright and in the prime of life, so it is natural that there should be a virtuous helper to help you with state affairs. Ms. Katrana's origin, demeanor and handling of government affairs are beyond reproach. And...... During your absence, she has been taking care of His Highness Anduin. ”

Varian glanced at Katrana, who was smiling reservedly. Finally set his sights on Berval and Magni.

He stretched out his hand and put his cheek on his cheek, and smiled dispensably in boredom.

"That'...... So be it. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The speaker hit the railroad while it was hot: "Then the wedding is scheduled for the fifth of next month, how about it?" ”

Varian waved his hand and turned to Katrana, "In that case. It's up to you. Anything else down there? ”

Katrana glanced at Berval and Magni, who had not jumped up in disagreement, and glanced at the Speaker.

The Speaker coughed: "Regarding the Draenei joining the Alliance, the advice of the Council of Nobles of Stormwind City to His Majesty is ......"

"It's over." Magni let out a long breath as he walked out of the room. "It's over."

He and Bolvar turned into a remote hallway. "When I saw that girl's face, I didn't know why I wanted to punch her in the face."

Bolval grinned reluctantly.

"Your Majesty King Magni! Lord Duke of Berval! "Sure enough, there is no good thing behind the scenes. As soon as Magni's words fell, a familiar voice came from behind him.

Katrana walked towards them with her long dress.

"You're walking so fast, I almost couldn't catch up with you." She said with a smile on her face.

The color on her face made Berval feel extremely blind.

"Shouldn't you be by Your Majesty's side at this time?" He spoke stiffly.

Katrana smiled nonchalantly: "Your Majesty said that he is tired and wants to go back and rest first." ”

"So what's the matter with you? Ms. Katrana. Magni spoke first.

"Come and see you, Your Majesty Magni." Katrana smiled and said, "You should be satisfied that you got what you wanted." ”

Magni's face pulled down.

Katrana continued, "I'm here to ask if you're going to come to my wedding with Your Majesty?" ”

"I will!" Magni burst out between his teeth. He was secretly ruthless in his heart, and it was not certain whether there would be this wedding or not! Does this woman think that by supporting a puppet, she can become the mistress of Stormwind?

"Presumably, announce to the world that Delaney has joined. It will give our soldiers a morale boost. Catlana was at all absent from her delicate looks, and said to herself: "The king's wedding is also an inspiring event, but I always feel that something is missing?" ”

Boval had a vague idea of what she wanted to say. He set his eyes on the camphor in the courtyard.

His words rang in his ears with utter disgust.

"Lord Bolval, I remember. When Your Majesty got married, you personally led the troops and cooperated with the dwarven elite thunder spear troops to defeat the tribe in Aoshan......"

Bugle...... Blood...... Slaughter......

After the victory, he lay exhausted in the cold snow and watched the snowflakes fall from the sky......

That unforgettable memory made it impossible for Bowval to maintain his demeanor any longer. He hissed and roared, "What the hell are you trying to say?" ”

"Nothing." Katrana picks at her fingernails. "I just think His Majesty will be happier if there is a victory to embellish the king's wedding. I think Your Majesty should agree with that. You may discuss the details of the battle with His Majesty the Honorable Magni. She covered her mouth and smiled. Oh yes, the wedding date is so tight. I'm afraid I can't keep up. Okay, I'll go first. ”

After saying that, she walked away triumphantly like a victorious general.

Magni gave Boval a worried look.

"I'm fine." For a long time, Bowal rubbed his stiff face tiredly. "Magni, I'm really looking forward to it now...... The arrival of the one. ”

"Me too!" Magni replied heavily. "If this woman controls the government of Stormwind......"

"I'm more worried about Anduin now than that......" Berval sighed heavily. What would have happened if the child had found out about this? And. Now I can't leave Anduin's side. More than anything else, Anduin's safety is important to me. ”

Magni patted his arm speechlessly. "Don't worry, that one's business...... Leave it to me. ”

"Let's hope that the arrival of that person will solve all these troubles in front of me." Berval looked up at the clear blue sky in front of him. "Until then. Anduin ...... I'll take care of him. Even with my life!! ”

Andu had already learned that his father was about to marry again. In a rage, he ran to his father's master bedroom and found no one there. In the study, it's not there.

He thought about it, it should be there......

Anduin rushed to the highest observation room in the Stormwind Fortress Palace, and his father was standing on the balcony.

"Father!"

Varian turned around and opened his hands to him, "What's wrong?" Anduin. ”

His doting tone made the angry Anduin turn into grievances in his stomach. "I heard...... You're getting married. ”

"Hmm...... You already know that? ”

"Why? Father! Don't you ** mom, don't ** me? Anduin grabbed the corner of his coat aggrievedly. At this moment, he is just a ten-year-old boy, full of fear and anxiety about his father's remarriage.

"Anduin. My baby. Varian touched his little head. I**you, too** your mother. ”

"Then why ......" Anduin looked up in confusion, his eyes red.

Varian smiled tiredly. "Ever since your mother died, I have been told that I should marry a new queen. I didn't say yes because I was worried about you...... But I was not there during this period. Katrana takes good care of you, doesn't she? ”

"But...... She's not the same as her mother......" Anduin whispered, consciously.

"Son, no one can compare to your mother." Varian pulled him and walked back to the room, to the black satin-obscured portrait, and pulled the rope.

The woman in the painting is beautiful and noble, with long blonde hair coiled high and her big blue eyes full of tenderness. The little cherry lips smiled slightly, indescribably gentle and moving.

Even though I know that this is just a lifeless cold portrait, the look at the woman in the painting can make people warm from the heart like a spring breeze.

"Portrait of your mother." Varian looked at the portrait with a look of longitude. "When she died, I put away all the portraits of her in the palace. Only this one remains. ”

"Do you know why I love coming here? Your mother loves to see the sea. Even when she was pregnant with you, she would run up here to see the sea in high spirits. Everything here is still in the habit of her life. ”

"Daddy......" Anduin's tone softened. …… Then why do you want to get married. ”

"Although I don't want to compromise with those nobles. However, I was tired. And it just so happens that Katrana is very good to you, so she should be a good partner. ”

"Daddy......" Anduin looked at him uneasily, his big bright eyes blinking. What happened to you? ”

"Nothing, good boy." Varian always felt like a piece was missing from his heart. If it was him in the past, he would not have compromised, but now I don't know why, he feels very tired and can't lift his spirits for everything, so let it be......

Tiffin ...... He thought it was just a political marriage, but it became the best of his life.

The beauty has passed away, and it is difficult to chase the country.

It's the same for everyone but her, except for her......
