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. On the old man's right-hand side, there was 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 flipped through the letters, his brow furrowed, as if he were considering something; At last the old man took a quill pen dyed gold, wrote a few lines on the letter quickly, then placed it on his left hand, 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 the 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 upcoming war, or hoping for support.

The golden quill pen in King Soras's hand rustled quickly on the paper; At this moment, a slight knock at the door interrupted the King's movements, and he put down the pen in his hand 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 Soras's voice was loud and majestic, and after receiving his permission, the door to the room was gently pushed open, and a capable middle-aged man hung his head. With a tray in his hand, he crept up to King Solas with small steps and placed it on his desk. Then he whispered: "Your supper is ready, Your Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Hmm." King Solas nodded, looking at the food on the tray—a small pot of fragrant potato soup, two plates of bacon and bacon rolls that were charred on the outside and tender on the inside. For myself, who has been lacking in exercise recently, it is just right to arouse enough appetite without looking too greasy.

"Kurbanke, tell me what has happened in the palace today! At night, I heard a commotion, but at the time I was busy dealing with Terenus and Anduin? Lothar's letter to me is really inseparable, and as my chief chamberlain, what has happened makes you feel a little troublesome. There's no way to handle 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 his fork, stuffed it into his mouth and crunched it.

"That's right, my Emperor Xià. 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 caused a commotion and disturbed His Majesty the Emperor. It's my responsibility. King Soras's chamberlain, Kurban, still had his head bowed, his long arms almost down to his knees, and his voice remained flat and low, even though he meant to blame himself. There is not a trace of emotional fluctuations.

"Christophe?" King Solas visibly increased his grip on the salted meat rolls, as if mentioning something that made him feel less at ease, "If this kid 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 which noble lady this time? People in their thirties still spin around under a woman's skirt like a flower/flower/male/son all day long. It's really unproductive! ”

"Yes." Kurbanke replied in the affirmative, and he didn't 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 really unproductive?

"Forget it, don't mention him, or I won't even be able to eat supper." King Solas seemed a little disappointed, waved the fork in his hand, 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?" ”

"His Majesty the Emperor, 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 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.

"So, 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 give 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 built it this way.

"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, who had been clamoring for a few days to go to the forward position at the northern end of the Sador Bridge to be his nephew Danas, was deputy, but King Solas had not agreed; And almost at the same time, a plea for help from Blackmore, the lord of Dunhold Castle, a frontier land, made King Solas find an excuse to send his immature son out, so that he would not be whispering in his ears all day long.

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 surprises to Prince Garin, maybe he's just happy outside, and wants to relax a little bit and come back." 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, it would be of little use even if Prince Garin went; It is impossible for a mage to be able to resist the elite troops under Prince Garin, but if he is bent on escaping, by the time Prince Garin arrives, he will probably run away without a shadow.
