Chapter 550: The saber rattling at the meeting
Kalia, Winlessa, and the others stopped talking, and although they were all women, they all had a close relationship with the war.
Fighting is a man's business, but women stay at home, and their fears are not easy; What's more, Wen Lesa is still the kind of woman who goes to the battlefield in person.
"Thankfully, the Alliance defeated the Orcs, and my companions and I were finally able to rest. I was so happy to see the orc chief being held in a prison cart on the streets. β
Althea realized that her words had made the atmosphere tense, and quickly spoke.
"It's not just captivity, this group of guys has to pay a bigger price."
Aurelia said.
"Haven't they all been killed?"
Althea asked.
"Death is not the end of a qiΔ."
Aurelia replied.
"What do you mean?"
Althea's eyes widened as she looked at the beautiful High Elf.
"Nothing."
Aurelia shook her head.
No sooner had he rounded the corner of the staircase, and the heavily armed guards were out of sight, than Arthas heard a roar from his father's study.
"I'm against it! Absolutely not! β
Is it King Soras? - Arthas recognized the voice.
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Arthas!"
Several of the royal guards of Lordaeron recognized their prince, and their voices made the other group of guards let their guard downβthey were guards from other kingdoms.
"Marcus, Wendthor!"
Varian caught up behind Arthas, and then saw two of his acquaintances.
"Varian."
Wendthor nodded to Varian.
"Why are you here?"
Varian asked, surprised.
"Inside the meeting. But only His Majesty the King can participate. Let alone...... We don't want to listen to pointless inside. β
Marcus muttered discontentedly.
"Let's go inside."
Arthas said to Varian.
"Hmm."
Varian nodded, then in the passage that the guards had made way of. Walked to the door of the study.
When Arthas entered the study, he saw his father for the first time.
King Terenus was still sitting behind his desk. In front of him, several burly middle-aged men sat on those guest couches, arguing fiercely about something.
King Terenus saw his son at a glance, and he smiled at Arthas, then motioned for him to find a place to sit down.
Arthas nodded, then glanced around.
Lordaeron's Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alfonso? Dildra stood in the corner of the study, her hands folded on her lower abdomen, her head bowed in silence.
Arthas's arrival seemed to catch the Chancellor's attention, but he only glanced up at Arthas. He quickly lowered his head again.
Archmage Antonidas sat with the female mage, and Archmage Crassus sat behind the two men.
The group of mages from Dalaran didn't seem to want to get involved in the kings' arguments, but Arthas could clearly see that Archmage Antonidas's brows were tightly furrowed, and it was clear that he was unhappy with the near-internal friction.
Anduin? Lothar was not a king, but he clearly had the power of a king.
The Marshal of Stormwind and his countryman Elro? Eberlock sat together, and the two men were talking to something in a whisper.
When Varian entered the study, Anduin? Lothar looked up. I saw my own disciples.
Alsace notices Anduin? Lothar's brow furrowed, but the marshal greeted Varian and motioned for him to sit beside him.
Prince Danas stood behind King Solas and nodded to Arthas; Prince Garin was in a daze beside him. Obviously, such a meeting was not for His Royal Highness, a prince who loved hunting and gladiatorial fights.
However, His Royal Highness the Prince's expression was very stern, and I don't know if it was because of the content of the meeting, or because of his younger brother who didn't know where to go.
Alsace didn't see the dwarves - Muradin? Copperbeard didn't know where he had gone with his brother and his fellow Hammers.
Many people discovered the arrival of Alsace. Most people just nodded or smiled at him, but Jean? Greyman. The only person present who was not very familiar with Alsace kept a gloomy face.
Because across from him. King Solas was roaring loudly.
"I absolutely can't accept it."
King Solas said loudly.
"The Alterac Valley is the border between Lordaeron and Stormgard, when will it be the turn of the Kingdom of Gilneth to discuss the ownership of this place?"
King Soras's words were sharp, pointing directly at Jean? Greymane is meddling.
"Watch your words, Soras."
Jean? Greymane rightfully fought back.
"At first, I didn't want to bother with anything about the kingdom of Alterac. However, as a king, I think I have an obligation to uphold the rights of nobles and lords, even if they do not belong to my country. β
Jean? Greymane said.
"If you have time to worry about this, I think you should worry about your pocket!"
King Solas scoffed.
"We're fighting to the death on the front lines, and you Gilnes sit back and enjoy the results. Before you get to the point of view about the ownership of the Alterac Kingdom, let's discuss how much the Kingdom of Gilneth should bear in terms of the cost of military camps and the construction of the Watchtower in the southern part of the continent! β
King Solas laughed at Jean? Greymane's cowardice and meddlesomeness.
"You say it again? We did not participate in the war only because it was too late. Two-year-olds know that Gilneth is too far from where the war took place. β
Jean? Greymane stood up.
"If a two-year-old knows that Gilneth is thousands of miles away, why do you want to meddle here?"
Undeterred, King Solas also stood up.
Jean? Greymane and King Solas were both extremely muscular, and if it weren't for the fact that neither of them had entered the study with weapons, perhaps someone would have bled by now.
"I said, for the sake of the interests of the lords. Even a king cannot take the lord's right to govern the territory lightly. It is an indisputable fact that the Alterac Valley belongs to the Pernord family. β
Jean? Greymane said.
"If anyone wants to take advantage of the war to annex the territories of other lords, or even kings, then the warriors of Gilneth are not afraid to shed blood for the sake of justice."
Jean? Greymane brazenly threatens war.
"Phew!"
The Nation of Solas spat on the ground - his action made Arthas twitch - his father's study was made of the best carpets...... (To be continued......)
