The noisy wedding lasted until midnight, and the people returned to their homes one after another, under the watchful eye of all the soldiers of Iva. Of course, there are quite a few people who drink themselves on the sides of the road and sleep with their vomit because they are greedy for free drinks.

In normal times, the soldiers on patrol might not have bothered with this kind of business, but today is different! Today is the wedding day of their great lord and princess, and it is ominous if someone has an accident because of this. The method of dealing with it was not too difficult, and the drunks were grouped in the playground of the garrison, under the care of the priest until the family came to pick them up. Some of them were doused with a bucket of water, and they got up and found their way home....

Eventually, the huge city slowly fell silent.

In Locke's dwelling, in the aristocratic district of Iva Center, Locke was sitting by the fireplace in the living room, looking at a stack of parchment scrolls on the table next to him by the flickering light of the firewood.

The house was not very large, with only two floors above and below, and it was like a family hotel that Locke had seen in his previous life. In the center of the ground floor there is a large living room and three functional rooms; Kitchen, cloakroom, washroom. On the second floor, there are 4 rooms that look like guest rooms, facing each other, and at the end of the corridor is a thick closed wooden door, where is his and Kalia's bedroom...

Honestly, this house is really not worthy of Locke and Kalia... At first, Locke did not expect that he would one day become king. He hadn't lived here for a long time, and was always moving back and forth in the land of Lordaeron.

So this resulted in a situation where, when Locke was about to become king, they did not have a fortress to live in. Because the house was so small, there were no other servants in the house after the evening. Locke and Kalia were the only ones living in the house, and the servants would come in from outside when it was almost dawn and take care to clean the first floor and everything. When they are done, they will come up and knock on their bedrooms and wait for them to get up. At the same time, breakfast is brought in from the outside and placed on the table in the living room on the first floor.

The house was already big for the average person, but too small for Locke. In fact, when the house was first built in Iva, it was an ordinary apartment.

"Do you have to be busy for a long time?" Kalia appeared at Locke's side with a steaming glass of water, and asked him with an unknown animal fur coat on her body. Locke put down the map in his hand, he smiled and took the glass of water from her hand, patting the fur couch beside him to signal her to sit next to him.

"Look, this is the blueprint for our future manor." Locke handed her the drawing he was looking at and pointed to the blueprint on it and introduced it to her, "You know the floor plan, right? This is the floor plan of the first floor. Here, this is the main gate, and directly opposite the main gate is a staircase that leads to the second floor. There are stairs on both sides that lead to the first floor...."

Kalia looked at Locke's introduction seriously, but soon the boring stuff made her focus on Locke. The focused man in front of her made the newlywed Yan'er Kalia feel a burst of happiness in her heart, and she couldn't help but say, "I think it's good here, it's just the two of us, and we don't have to care about things outside behind closed doors." ”

"It's warm and warm—" she said, resting her head on Locke's arm. She had lived alone in Iva for so many years and had long since become accustomed to such days. On the contrary, the high-profile life like when she got married today seems to make her a little uncomfortable.

"Hehe," Locke smiled as he closed the drawings, "we'll have our castle, we'll have our manor, and of course we'll have our own space." ”

Locke looked up at the house that had belonged to him in the first place, "This place will always belong to us..."

Kalia leaned on Locke's shoulder, and she sneered, "You're right, we still have children, how can we squeeze here." It's too small for them to play. ”

Locke lost his interest in working because of Kalia's fuss, so he put his arm around Kalia's waist and said, "When you say that, I think they are very right at noon." For the sake of our family, we need to have a lot of children! ”

"Don't!" Kalia smiled blushingly and said softly, "In that case, I'll be broken..."

was teased by Kalia like this, Locke directly gave Kalia a princess hug, and rushed to the bedroom on the second floor with a smile.....

※※※

Marriage is a thing of the past, and life has to go on. But Locke found that there seemed to be more going on now, especially after marrying Kalia. Problems that had not arisen before suddenly arose, such as territorial disputes between nobles, and diplomatic matters that arose for the first time.

The elves of Quel'Thalas began to formally submit their alliances to themselves, and Garin Thorbain of Riptide Castle began to ask for formal assistance from them. Even the Eagle's Nest Mountain Hammer Dwarf, far to the southeast, submitted their credentials to themselves, preparing to set up a diplomatic office in Iva to represent the Eagle's Nest Mountain.

As Locke can imagine, the dwarves of Ironforge probably did the same, and possibly their cousins, the gnomes of Nomorigan. As for the Stormwind Kingdom, as long as they weren't blind, they would definitely do the same.

It seems that everyone has already considered themselves the kings of Lordaeron, although they have not yet been crowned.

Right now, Locke sits in Iva's enlarged town hall, watching boredly as his subordinates argue over whether or not to hold a coronation....

"Lord Harvey doesn't need a coronation, it's a pure waste of time and energy. It's just a crown, just find a goldsmith to make one and put it on Master Harvey's head. There are so many things that we need to deal with at the moment, and there is no need to get too involved in this matter. ”

This was Mormont's opinion, and his staff was very cautious about all possible places to spend money. He seems to have naturally put himself in the position of prime minister...

I didn't intend to create the position of Prime Minister in the first place....

"This is a symbol of great glory! A symbol of royal power! How can such a big thing be so hasty? ”

This is what Viscount Quaet meant, and it is interesting to note that the speaker of the noble council seems to be particularly obsessed with this matter. Unbeknownst to him, the Council of Nobles was about to be replaced by a cabinet meeting...

"Whether it's Gilneth or the extinct Alterac, or the Stormwind Kingdom in the south, the coronation is a way to show other kingdoms their national strength."

This was Hudson's opinion, a traditional soldier who was keen to show the might of the kingdom of Lordaeron.

"I think the coronation will give our people in Lordaeron, in our new king, in our Lordaeron, in more and greater confidence. This is of great benefit to His Majesty the King in ruling over the land. Of course, if the coronation is to be held, to a large extent, there will be a situation like the one that Lord Hudson said, and that's a good thing. I just don't know if there's any financial pressure. ”

This was the opinion of Baron Berg, a nobleman who focused on civil affairs and was unusually concerned about the reaction of the population. Well, that's a good thing.

"Holding such a huge ceremony in a short period of time will not put a huge strain on Eva's finances. But it will affect our future actions against possible situations in other regions. No event is isolated, and if we spend more gold here, there may be problems with the supply to the soldiers. After all, Lord Harvey is not like any other lord. ”

"Lord Harvey's soldiers are all professional soldiers, and all of this needs gold to support. So, I'm not in favor of holding a coronation. Personally, I would like to say that Sir Mormont said that it would be enough to make a crown engraved with the Harvey family and wear it on his head. ”

"Just pick a good day, Lord Harvey walks to the throne with the crown..."

It was Shiloh who said this, and the subordinate who had followed him for a long time was thinking from a financial point of view. She was her own treasurer, and since she had said all these things, it was obviously well thought out, so there was basically no need to think about it.

Then there will be no coronation.

"The Holy Light Church is not involved in the matter of royal power, but I personally think that this matter has been approved by His Highness Kalia, so it is not a waste of money and money. As the Grand Prosecutor of Hiloh said, Lordaeron's enemies, the Scourge of the Undead, have not yet been expelled from the land. Our focus should be more on that. ”

Locke looked at Fairbanks, and Sally, who was standing with him, nodded in affirmation.

Since the opinions of the subordinates are very different, but the financial system is the guarantee for maintaining their own, and from this point of view, there is no need to hold it.

"Then it's up to Archprocurator Shiloh to find a suitable goldsmith in the logistics department to make a crown for me and Princess Kalia. Well, how it used to be is like this now, don't be too prominent. Oh, you should know my family style, right? ”

Shiloh nodded and took the order.

"Now let's talk about the other question, about the free undead in the ruins of Lordaeron's past royal city. I said before that I was going to send someone to reach them. Locke turned to look at the elven girl who was speechless and asked, "Colonel Norris, what's going on?" ”

"I've been in contact and am waiting for a reply." Norris said lightly, "I guess there will be a reply next month." ”

"Okay, are the towns on the western coast of the Tirisfard Glades ready?" Locke looked at Berg and Hudson, "Are you ready for the possibility of a large number of undead moving in?" ”

"Lord Harvey!" Mormont suddenly interjected, "I suggest that this matter be discussed in front of all the nobles after your coronation. ”

Locke was stunned for a moment, but he immediately recovered and realized what he meant.
