This private dinner was eaten until midnight.

Delicacies from all over Azeroth are served in turn, from Tiger Steak in the Valley of Thorns to Kazmodan Dried Kidney Bean......

The list goes on and on.

During the banquet, from the situation in the north to the future of the Alliance, to the changes after the re-establishment of the Stormwind Kingdom, and the subsequent impact of the Orcs going south, Countess Catlana showed an otherworldly vision that Arthas admired greatly.

This dinner was a feast for both the guests and the hosts.

Katrana clinked glasses with Oryx repeatedly, and her healthy wheat-colored skin was as red as a ripe apple, and her eyes were full of seductiveness.

Although it was a private dinner, the occasion was still very formal. But Katrana has a good sense of proportion, not showing rudeness, but accurately conveying a signal.

- She loves Oryx.

Arthas, accustomed to court life, saw all this and easily read the thoughts of the foreign countess.

At the end of dinner, Arthas personally sent Katrana to the teleportation circle.

At parting, Katrana said to the king of Lordaeron: "Your Majesty, I have to say, you have great vision. The Hand of the King is a true assistant to the king—oh, forgive me for making such an arbitrary assessment, I admire him so much that in just a few hours of time together he made a deep impression on me. ”

Aurex on the side was uneasy.

Catlana then said goodbye to the two and stepped through the portal that Royal Mage Lordaeron had opened for herself.

After a long silence, Arthas suddenly said very bluntly, "I don't want you to be in a dilemma, but Katrana is a powerful figure in the Stormwind Kingdom. Her words and deeds will affect Varian Ureon's decision, and it is possible to win more valuable assistance for Lordaeron in such a special period. ”

Oryx, of course, understands what the so-called dilemma means. He had always had a close correspondence with Princess Galia.

The elderly maid beside the princess, who served her from childhood to adulthood, regarded him as the only person who could help the princess get rid of the haze of the past, and secretly sent him letters every day, telling him about the princess's state that day, whether she was in a good mood, what she had done, what she ate, etc., and tried her best to match the feelings of the two.

Alsace couldn't have discovered all this.

Oryx didn't know what Arthas thought of this, and he would be happy to see it, or at least not stop it. After all, one is a sister, and the other is the most trusted and trustworthy assistant.

As for why it is a dilemma......

Of course, it was the king, who also saw that Katrana had a crush on him.

Today, Lordaeron has been strengthened by the war with the orcs years ago, and even if it is still the most powerful human kingdom, it is still not enough to face enemies such as the Burning Legion and the Scourge.

Arthas has the heart to combine his Hand of the King with the powerful Countess from the Kingdom of Stormwind, ushering in a new era of diplomacy for the two strongest members of the Alliance.

"The nature of politics is to use each other, and this countess has the idea of using you to spread her influence, but we are not so. In the face of an enemy that we cannot defeat on our own, we need allies, and we need assistance. If it were the former Stormwind Kingdom, the former Varian, I believe that even if the country suffered from the rebels' troubles, it would still be able to help us win this war, but now that this countess is the first head of the consul's affairs, I think it will be difficult, difficult - even my father's spies reported that the reason why the authorities of the Stormwind Kingdom refused to pay for the work of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons in the first place, so that Van Cleef resolutely led the rebellion, it is very likely that there is no lack of 'credit' for this countess. ”

Arthas turned back and walked back the way he came, his heart like a mirror.

Oryx smiled bitterly, and secretly said Your Majesty, if you knew the true identity of this "countess", you wouldn't think so.

He didn't tell Alsace about it.

Katrana is in charge of the Stormwind Kingdom, ambitious, trying to be in a high position, and she is a clear-eyed person, so you can see it. But what he did in the past has won the unanimous support of the nobles of the kingdom.

If you want to bring her down, you need evidence, conclusive evidence.

Otherwise, even if Oryx was a prophesy of future saints, no one would believe what he said. Far from it, let's just say that Dalaran, without definite evidence, even these mages who trust him so much will not interfere in this matter.

He'd go to Crassus, and that would be the best person to settle the matter. Find a way to gather evidence and bring down Onexia. But not now, nor will it add sorrow to Alsace, who is already entangled in state affairs, and whose hair is much grayer, but who cannot provide any help in solving this matter.

How to fight with this black dragon princess, leave it to yourself......

Anyway, no matter what, it was impossible for the other party to bypass him and reach into Lordaeron. One is that there is no energy, and the other is ...... Onexia's real purpose is actually to be a saint who will surely grow into the top of the Church of Light across the Seven Kingdoms, not the little Lordaeron.

"I suddenly felt very emotional, if it were me, what would I choose," Alsace said with a sigh as he walked, "I was once and I am now, and I will definitely make a completely different choice." Maybe it was the king's burden that made me change unconsciously. ”

With that, he turned his head and explained, "Of course, Orrix, I'm not implying anything from this, it's your choice, you decide. ”

Oryx smiled and said calmly, "Your Majesty, if you need a man with enough weight to send to the Stormwind Kingdom, when the matter at hand is over, I will set foot on the ship to the south." ”

Not a real ship, of course, just a symbolic metaphor. Dalaran began to "enter the world", and with the convenient teleportation magic, he could travel to and from all parts of the Eastern Continent in an instant, and no one would take a long and laborious ship to the Stormwind Kingdom for many months.

Arthas sighed faintly and squeezed his shoulder hard, but said nothing, rather than saying anything.

"By the way, why did you come to me?"

Oryx was finally able to talk about his intentions, and Arthas was pleasantly surprised when he told him about the High Elf Prince's tentative quest for cooperation.

"He's willing to cooperate? It seems that those arrogant elves are not stupid either. Alsace joked.

Oryx replied, "Your Majesty, if they are only undead, they may not be willing to step out of the 'impregnable' barrier of Bandinor. But if you add a Burning Legion, as the descendants of the Night Elves who have suffered greatly, they will no longer wait until they are hurt like they did more than ten years ago to learn from the pain and seek allies. However, there are still many obstacles to this matter, and most of the members of the Silvermoon Council may not be able to accept this matter so easily, otherwise Prince Kael'thas would not be so cautious. ”

"Good, good. I'll leave this matter to you. ”
