Chapter 560: Aurelia's Memories
Most of the guests who had sat at the long table before, and most of the nobles below had clearly identified them.
Like Anduin? Elro next to Sir Lothar? Eberlock, everyone knows that this will be the upstart of Stormwind in the future.
But among the young men who came in with Arthas and Kalia, there were two men whom no one had ever seen before.
One is Althea and the other is Taresha, and even if these Lordaeron nobles want to break their heads, they can't guess which two young ladies they are.
Winresa and Aurelia look like High Elves, and must be guests from Quel'Thalas; Varian? Although Ureon was not well-known at this time, there were also people who recognized this young man who was about to become the king of a country.
As for the beautiful dark-haired lady beside Prince Arthas, there are rumors among the nobles about this mage with magical powers.
But Althea and Taresa ...... It's really no one who has ever seen it.
The nobles speculated about which family these two were daughters, but they had no clue at all.
"Everyone!"
Just as the nobles were thinking about their hearts, a crisp exchange of sounds came, interrupting the whispered conversation between the nobles.
Alfonso, the Chancellor of the Exchequer at Lordaeron, tapped his glass lightly with a silver spoon with a crisp sound.
After attracting everyone's attention, the chancellor of the exchequer smiled and said, "His Majesty the King has something to say. β
There are many kings here, but King Terenus must be the only one who is qualified to let Alfonso make the opening remarks for him.
Almost all the nobles fell silent. They put down the utensils in their hands and wiped their mouths clean with the napkins hanging around their necks. Waiting for His Majesty the King to speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today. Here, I would like to announce a piece of news that everyone has known for a long time. β
King Terenus stood up to speak, pausing as he spoke.
The nobles all knew what His Majesty the King was going to say, and many of them had smiles on their faces, and some of the military personnel even had fanaticism in their eyes.
"We have won, the orcs have been wiped out from this world, and since then, peace has regained the homeland of mankind!"
King Terenus held his glass aloft. Said loudly.
"Let's toast to victory!"
King Terenus took a sip of wine from a silver glass.
"Cheers to victory!"
Miscellaneous voices shouted from the mouths of the nobles, but each one did his best.
Whether these nobles usually treat the peasants under their rule well, whether they are bullying or committing traitors in private, but at this time, they all have common glory.
Alsace would not have drunk on such occasions, but he also tapped his plate with his spoon.
In the original stream of time, young Arthas had experienced such a victory.
Yet when he started again, Arthas couldn't help but get excitedβno matter what. On the day when humanity completely defeated the orcs, his importance is enough to go down in history.
In the midst of the commotion, Arthas noticed that Aurelia had picked up her glass and touched her lips gently.
"Ms. Aurelia ......"
Alsace was surprised. He didn't expect the lady to drink alcohol on such an occasion.
"It tastes good."
Aurelia smiled and raised her glass to Arthas.
"I'm honored to ......"
As a host, that's all Arthas can say.
The little prince never imagined that Aurelia would be so happy because of the defeat of the orcs. It seems that she does hate these guys.
"I still remember...... The last time I encountered such an occasion, it was ...... Then. The leader of the human race is still Soradin. β
Aurelia said with a smile.
"What?"
Arthas was stunned.
"Soladin the Great?"
Kalia let out a scream, which would have been rude. Fortunately, no one noticed him, and the nobles were listening to King Terenus.
"That's thousands ......"
Alsace remembers that it was thousands of years ago.
"Hmm."
Aurelia nodded.
"The longevity of the High Elves is truly the envy of humans......"
Arthas could only sigh.
Soladin the Great is long gone, and even his empire is now gone.
Fort Riptide has been built on the ruins of Riptide City, and a new nation is thriving, but Aurelia is still alive as a witness to that history.
"That's ...... A celebration feast at the end of the Troll Wars? β
Arthas guessed.
"Well, that's right, we had just defeated the trolls, and Soladin invited us to his castle to celebrate the victory, and I was one of Quel'Thalas's representatives."
Aurelia replied.
As if the memories of the past made the High Elf Ranger leader very emotional, she turned to look around.
"It was really a castle, mostly with towers and parapets, unlike your father's place, which was a royal palace."
Aurelia said.
"Hmmm......"
At that time, humanity was still in a period of expansion, and it is presumably that Soladin the Great had not built a royal palace for himself at that time.
"There were so many people at that time...... Soladin, like your father, spoke there, and the crowd cheered...... Speaking of which, your father is very similar to Soladin. β
Aurelia said, perhaps because she was thirsty, and took another sip of wine.
"Soladin the Great...... What does it look like? β
Alsace was curious.
He had seen the portrait of Soladin the Great more than once, but that had been a long time since the recent portrait had been added to the imagination of the painters.
Arthas was curious to know what the High Elf Ranger leader had to say about him who had actually met Soladin the Great.
"I don't know much about ...... At that time, the distance between me and Soladin was as far as the distance between me and your father now. β
Aurelia said with a smile.
At different times and at the same distance, the kingdom of mankind has long been in flux, but the years can only add a little maturity and beauty to Aurelia.
Kalia and Winlessa were already fascinated by what they heard.
"That's nice...... If I could ...... too It would be nice to stay young like you like Aurelia did. β
Kalia said in an envious tone.
"Sister Aurelia ......"
Wenlesa's mind was full of nonsense, and it occurred to her that if she lived to the age of Sister Aurelia, Arthas would ......
At that time, I also want to be like Sister Aurelia, in front of Arthas I don't know how many generations of grandchildren, remember him?
The thought of such a thing made Winlessa feel sad.
But what's the solution? Arthas is a human being! (To be continued......)
