Locke turned his head to look out the window, the sun had just risen, and there was still time.

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper. I still have to ask, are you saying that if I marry you, our eldest son will inherit my surname and be the first in line to the throne of the kingdom of Lordaeron? ”

Calia, who had calmed down, still felt a little incredulous, and she asked again.

Now, Locke can be sure that she doesn't know what Fao is doing behind his back. Or rather, she didn't participate in the follow-up.

"I'm conditional, too." Locke tapped his fingers on the table, he looked up at Kalia and said, "You can't interfere in my private life. It is not allowed to meddle in the internal and foreign affairs of the kingdom. ”

"I'm a princess of the royal family, and I naturally understand what a queen should do. But—" Kalia sat back in her chair, and she looked into Locke's eyes, "Do you know what it means to your family by doing this?" ”

"What?" Locke asked curiously, "Is there anything different?" ”

Kalia let out a soft breath as she looked down again, smiling at Locke. "Now I can be sure that your family is definitely not a noble family, or rather, it is not a noble family that has lasted for many years."

"Does it make a difference?" Locke was a little confused.

"Yes, the aristocratic families know some basic inheritance laws," Kalia held back her smile and took a sip of her glass, "because according to the inheritance law, if our eldest son is surnamed Minerhil, then if the next child is surnamed Harvey, they have no inheritance rights." ”

"So if you do it on your terms, everything you do will ultimately belong to the Minethil family..."Kalia spread her hands and couldn't help but look at Locke with a smile.

"That's right..."Locke scratched his head, he really didn't know the inheritance law very well, but it wasn't a big deal, was it? It's all his children anyway.

"That's why I'm going to ask you again." Kalia put away the smile on her face, and after thinking seriously for a while, she said to Locke, "If you want to change the inheritance law, it must be after you become king. Before that, the inheritance law must be like this. ”

Locke didn't have an idea for a moment, he looked down and thought about the stakes.

Kalia already knew that Locke hadn't thought it through, and she continued, "Moreover, if you really follow the method of succession to the throne you said, then our descendants will definitely have bloody conflicts because of this inheritance law, which is not what I want to see." Do you want to see our children, shedding their blood for the throne? Well? ”

"So, I have a suggestion that I can take a step back."

"What advice?" Locke didn't think about it for a while, looked up and asked Kalia with a smile, "You know, my background is not very good... So..."

"Me and your descendants, they will be a new royal family, and they will take the surname Harvey Minahir." Kalia explained to Locke, who was in a daze, "Then the problem we face does not exist. The Harvey family can also become a real royal family, and will not let others think that they are climbing the Minahill family. ”

"Because of you, the Harvey family will continue to exist, and in the future we can change the surname of our youngest child to Harvey. In this way, the Harvey family became a branch of the royal family and also had the right to inherit the throne. The Harvey family is naturally no longer an ordinary aristocratic family, but a royal family that has become Lordaeron. ”

"And what about the Minahir family?" Locke asked rhetorically, "Isn't your family gone?" ”

"No!" Kalia shook her head firmly, she smiled and explained to Locke, "It is very common for the royal family to merge with the noble family, and in the future, among our children, there may be those who want to restore the glory of the Minethil family, and they can completely let him go out independently and form a new Minethil family, just like the Harvey family, understand?" ”

Locke is still a little confused, he really hasn't paid attention to the curves in his previous life, and he won't be able to figure it out for a while. But Kalia can't be wrong to say that, right?

"Why are you telling me this?" Locke asked, fiddling with the glass in his hand. "If that's the case, won't the Minahil family be able to get rid of me in the future?"

"Because I don't want you to misunderstand me because of this," Kalia said helplessly, "any nobleman, or a learned person, knows this. Moreover, I think we need to talk openly and honestly, and not that I deceive you and take advantage of your misjudgment on this point, that I am not enemies with you. ”

Kalia's words made Locke look at her a lot. Finally no longer a woman who can sacrifice everything for the sake of the family, that bad impression.

"Let me think about it, anyway, this is just a preliminary meeting, and there are many opportunities for us to meet in the future." Locke can only play like this first.

"That's what I thought, and now, let's go back to that conversation. You tell me what you just didn't finish. Kalia's expression returned to composure, and she smiled faintly, "Your mistresses, who are they?" ”

"Is this important to you?" Locke asked rhetorically, leaning back in his chair, his armor stabbing and crackling, "We're just a formal couple. ”

"Isn't a formal husband and wife husband and wife? What's more, we will have many children in the future! Are you willing to face a wife every day who is indifferent to your presence? Kalia pursed her lips, and she sneered, "Besides, I must know how my husband admires beauty, right?" ”

Locke hesitated and shook his head, "You'll know sooner or later, so why rush this moment?" Besides, today is not the day to talk about this. ”

"So are you going to let me appear in public in front of everyone today?" After everything was said, Princess Kalia stopped pretending to be and began to appear as her true face.

Locke looked at her face carefully, he wanted to see something from hers, but Kalia looked at him naturally, as if she could arrange it to you.

"No, you're showing up as a guest. However, you need to apply some makeup so that others don't recognize it in advance. Locke took the tea from the table and drank it, then got up and walked to the door.

"So, are you ready for our wedding?" Kalia asked behind Locke, hoping for a tangible answer. She didn't want to spend long hours alone in a still forgotten corner.

Locke stopped, he turned his head to look at Kalia, a wry smile on his face, "I'm sorry, I can't be sure of the time. Because there are so many important things to do in front of me, I want to wait until I have dealt with these things, and that is when we get married. ”

"As for the time being," Locke smiled at her, "think it's a process of our acquaintance." ”

"If you regret it during this time, you can always come to me. I won't do anything to you, you're still the princess of Lordaeron. ”

"Think about it, don't rush..."

When Locke's voice disappeared into the hallway, Kalia sat down at the table with some disappointment. But soon, the expression on her face became complicated, sometimes happy, sometimes worried.

This expression of gain and loss lasted on her face for a long time.

"I can assure you! Your way to Tirisfarda is safe! On the town hall square, Tyran once again stood on the gallows and spoke to the people below.

"Lord Tyran, then why were the people who went out of the city last night stopped by the sentry post outside?"

"Old Marl's family has been killed! Lord Tyran! If not for the Crusaders! Can you tell us who did it? ”

"Master, this is not what you said!"

It was a mess, and there were people everywhere telling Tyran what he saw.

"Quiet! I can't give you an answer right now! But when I investigate clearly, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation! Tyran couldn't control his emotions a little, he tried to control the expression on his face, and said to the civilians below, "I'm going to investigate everything behind this, you all disperse, don't worry!" ”

With that, Tyran hurried down the gallows, and with a look of anger on his face, he walked towards the residence of the Grand Crusader Dasuo Khan.

As a lord, Tyran didn't have to explain much to his lords, but he had to.

But he could not tolerate these intrigues and tricks carried out by Dassault Khan behind his back.

Last night, when his order had already been given, Dassault Khan had assigned his men to stop the refugees from leaving Hearthvale. Even, in order to intimidate them, he even executed many people!!

This made Tyran furious, but in order to stabilize the people first, he did not rush to Dassault Khan. Now that everything is out of the way, it's time to ask!

"We can wait a little longer," Marta dissuaded as she trotted after Tyran, "and we can wait for the Grand Crusader to explain why he did it." ”

"Humph! There is no point! Tyran said angrily, "I am now the Supreme Commander of the Crusaders!" Why did he disobey me? Just because he was the former Supreme Commander of the Crusaders? Grand Commander of the Knights of the Silver Hand? A former patriarch? ”

"Don't say anything! Marta! This incident cannot be forgiven! ”

Marta sighed at Tyran's resolute figure, but he quickly told the guards to follow him, not allowing him to go alone.

"Boom!" Kicking open the closed door, Tyran entered Dassault Khan's abode with Marta and the guards.

A group of people in the room were turning their heads to look at him in surprise, and they were sitting around Dassault Khan, sitting by the fire and chatting about something, which he interrupted.

"What's the matter? Make your anger so big? Dassault Khan said slowly, holding a pipe in his hand and exhaling some smoke from time to time.

"Can you tell me? Why kill civilians who left the city? Tyran took a deep breath and controlled his temper that was about to explode. Especially at my command! ”

"That's it?" Dassault Khan laughed, and he stood up and motioned for the people around him to look at Tyran, "Look, our commander is angry. ”

This attitude made Tyran's anger surge again!

"I'm talking to you! Saidan Dassault Khan Advisor! Don't forget who you are! Tyran pointed to the robe on his chest and said, "I'm the commander here!" ”

"How can you speak so to the Great Crusaders?" Someone stood up and retorted, "When the Great Crusaders were the commander of the Silver Hand, you were just a doll nursing in your mother's arms!" ”

"Even your father, Tirio Fordin! Don't dare to have such an attitude towards the Grand Crusaders! ”

The barrage of rebuttals made Tyran's face redden, and just as he was about to let the guards in, Dassault Khan reached out to stop the others from talking.

"Why did I stop them from leaving, you ask? Very well, then I'll tell you why. Dassault Khan put down his pipe, looked at Tyran and said, "Because your decrees are weak, because of your childish behavior, you will bring disaster to our Crusaders in the Valley of the Hearth. It's very simple, without the people, who will repair the armor of our soldiers? Who will work at our lumberyards? Who will take care of our farmland? Where do we go to replenish our troops? ”

"Without the people, we are like rootless floating grass, slowly dissipating. What are we left with in the end? So, even if they starve to death, they can't go! Can't be cheap Locke! Because he is my enemy! ”

"Don't forget who you are! You are the Great Lord of a region! Why be so polite to those untouchables?! Without them, would there be no one else? It's not people who are most lacking here right now, understand?! Starve some people to death! In this way, the problem faced by the Valley of the Hearth is solved! ”

"You've always wanted to rely on Locke, but you know what Locke thinks? Do you think that when he sends you a few truckloads of food, he is supporting you? Wake up! Dassault Khan sneered and said, "He's just dragging you in waiting for him to finish the reorganization of his army!" His first target was us! ”

"Do you know what the biggest difference between you and Renault is? Renault is stupid, but he knows how to listen to other people's advice! And you? Dassault Khan sighed a few times, "I can't listen to other people's advice, make my own opinions, and I don't discuss things with others!" Arbitrary! ”

"In fact," Dassault Khan said smugly, holding out his hand to show him the people here, "we are here to discuss the proposal to remove your commander. ”

"You are not fit to lead us, and you are in this position that can only hasten the demise of our Crusaders in the Valley of the Hearth. That's exactly what you're doing now! Like you told me, you'd even think of us joining Locke's army?! Have you asked us what we think? ”

"So, make the most of your limited time as a commander." Dassault Khan took his pipe in his mouth and looked at Tyran with contempt, "You won't be in this position for more than a few days. ”

Tyran laughed angrily at these words, and he let out a long breath, and then said calmly, "Since you have done this, then the last uneasiness in my heart will be removed." ”

"Don't forget, I am now the Supreme Commander of the Crusaders. To remove me, it is up to all the knights of the Silver Hand here to decide. And you guys are not enough! ”

It doesn't matter, since the faces of both sides have been torn, Tyran doesn't matter. He continued, "In view of the irreconcilable contradictions between you and me, I issue the following orders in my capacity as Grand Commander of the Crusaders. ”

Marta beckoned, and soon a soldier outside with parchment awaited Tyran's order.

"Dismiss Saidan Dassault Khan, advisor to the Grand Commander of the Crusaders."

"Dismiss Makclark, commander of the Crusader defenses!"

"Dismiss Marzaka, commander of the Crusader patrol!"

"Lift..."

Tyran gave several orders in a row, and he stared at the expressions of the people present. Their angry or hateful glances made Tyran sneer disdainfully.

"You don't have the right to do that!"

"You!"

"Don't worry, it's not over yet!" Tyran beckoned Marta over, "Clerk, now you have to record my new decree!" ”

"Me! Tyran Ferdin! Lord of Lordaeron Fireplace Valley! I issue an expulsion decree! ”

Saidan Dassault Khan, Makrak, Marzaka、..... And so a few of the above people are no longer welcome in the Valley of the Hearth! You must leave the Valley of the Hearth within today! Otherwise, you will be arrested as a wartime spy! ”

"This decree is in force for a long time! There is no time limit! ”

"Now! Guardsman! Tyran shouted, and the guards rushed in! Tyran sneered and looked at Dassault Khan and them, "Send those who are not welcome with us away!" ”

What worries Marta didn't happen, and Dassault Khan didn't make any moves. However, to Marta's frustration, the plan that the High Lord seems to have laid out has failed...

Dassault Khan was expelled from the Valley of the Hearth, will he still be here waiting to kill Tyran?
