Chapter 0992 ꉂ (๑✪ ꇴ ✪) ✧ Your eldest cousin is your eldest cousin after all
Lord Davar Presto, the most powerful contender for the throne of the Alterac Kingdom that had been in the Lordaeron League for a long time, and who had been very popular with King Terenus and other leaders since the Second World War, and who had considerable influence on the decisions of the Alliance, and who almost became the king of Alterac, is back!
yes
Just as he suddenly said goodbye and disappeared for many years, this time, he suddenly appeared in the stormy royal city of Lordaeron at a critical time, and was introduced by the current acting queen of Lordaeron, Galaia Minahir, and once again appeared in Lordaeron's high-level social circles, and once again spread his super high influence on the kingdom and even the alliance of Lordaeron, which originally only existed in legends.
Although, Lordaeron's generals and some of the archmages from Dalaran were skeptical and cautious about the identity of the Presto lord, and listed a series of 'suspicious' or 'guessed' so-called evidence?
However, when Lord Presto did not mind showing his strength, and together with hundreds of his powerful followers, he took the risk of using magic and swords to storm the formation of the Scourge of the Dead, and also won a small victory, and also learned that the main elite of the Plague of the Dead had not known when they had withdrawn and were not near Brill at this time, no one in Lordaeron could continue to doubt the ability and identity of Presto.
Of course, even doubting is useless!
That's because, at this time, Lordaeron's quasi-queen Galia is extremely fond and trusts the Presto Lord who suddenly appeared again, and before discovering any particularly obvious suspicions and major evidence that the other party is particularly unfavorable to Lordaeron, no one will dare to deal with the Presto Lord who has great power in his own right, but is no longer as deliberately concealed as before.
Therefore, the incident about the appearance of that lord and the turmoil caused by it soon faded away.
……
In Lordaeron's royal palace, Hermione Granger, the Little Witch and Countess of Lordaeron's hero, is assisting Lordaeron's Queen Soon, Her Majesty Carlia Minethiel, in her attempt to deal with matters of little importance.
“……”
Since Hermione is a rare female nobleman in the royal city of Lordaeron, a great hero of the kingdom of Lordaeron, and has repeatedly made great achievements, and is also one of the few good girlfriends of Galia, it is natural that she who is closest to the future queen will naturally become the queen's right and left hand, and often follow the queen's side to help deal with the affairs of the kingdom, even if she is also a novice?
"That ......."
Seeing that the complicated affairs gradually decreased, finally, Hermione couldn't help it, so she tentatively opened her mouth and asked curiously:
"Your Majesty Queen Galia, I can see that you really like that Presto Lord, you really fall in love with him, am I right?"
In fact, now not only Hermione can see it, but also the high-ranking generals and nobles of the entire Lordaeron Alliance!
However, given that the future Queen Majesty is still single, given the great strength and incomparable charm of the lord Davar Presto, and the fact that the other party was indeed favored by King Tenaris and promised to marry Galia Mineshir...... Therefore, for various reasons, and with the willingness of Her Majesty the future Queen, and at the same time with the promise of King Tenaris, the generals and nobles of Lordaeron must not dare to have any great opinions or complaints.
There is no doubt that the humans on this continent of Lordaeron have always attached great importance to promises and vows, and this may be the reason why Galia has not been able to remarry for so many years, and His Majesty has almost never mentioned Galia's marriage, right?
moreover
In the few days since the charismatic Lord Presto returned to Lordaeron, most of the Lordaeron nobles and high-ranking generals have been 'trapped' under each other's trousers, and most of them are equally satisfied with and happy to see the handsome, polite, sociable, and super-talented middle-aged nobleman who has convinced almost everyone.
You must know that Princess Galia Minahir, who is now Queen Lordaeron, this woman with long blond hair, a slender figure, a slender skeleton, a delicate face, fair skin, a gentle demeanor, and a pair of blue eyes, just like the beauty that came out of the portrait of the old days, is more than two years older than the late Prince Alsace, and is now almost twenty-eight years old...... This is almost half of the journey of a normal human being, so if you don't want to find a way to get married, it will be really too late!
If it were an ordinary person, if you don't get married, I'm afraid no one will say too much, and doing more is just giving some strange eyes and gossip...... However, if it is Galaia Minethiel, if it is the queen of Lordaeron, and the other party is still the last member of the royal family of Minethil, then it will definitely not be a trivial matter to not marry and continue to have offspring!
therefore
For various reasons, Lord Davar Presto, who had disappeared for many years and reappeared, was once again favored by Galia, and that was what all the generals and nobles of Lordaeron would be happy to see! As for the rumors in recent years that Princess Jialia had some eyebrows with an infantry member of Lordaeron, they were all ignored by those nobles and generals.
They won't believe that, because rumors are just rumors.
Of course, it doesn't matter if there is!
Because, they believe, the 'valiant infantryman' should be happy to sign up and be on the front lines of the battle against the undead! In short, that kind of small matter, there is no need for Queen Jialia to worry about at all, and their generals and nobles will definitely handle it properly.
"Hoo ......"
"Hermione, we're friends, you can just call me by my name or call me sister, I'm not a queen yet, but even if I'm a queen, I don't want you to alienate me like that."
"Also, I know what you're trying to say, but ......"
Caria paused, exhaled, and rubbed her neck before she looked up from her desk to correct Hermione's address to herself. However, she did not directly answer the other party's question, but after a moment of hesitation, she finally began to slowly begin to narrate as if she remembered:
"You know what?"
"That year, when my father decided to marry me to the Lord of Presto, in order to increase Lordaeron's relationship with the newly formed royal family of the kingdom of Alterac, I was so heartbroken that I even cried to Arthas...... Because, I had never seen the man named Davar Presto, who was about to be staked out by his father as a bargaining chip without even knowing who he was, and it was the first time I was disappointed in my father, very disappointed......
Thinking of what happened back then, Jialia slowly stopped what she was doing, and then her face, which was slightly pale and tired because of her previous injuries and the accidents of her relatives, had a rare hint of redness.
Then......
She only knew a little bit about the Lord of Presto, knew the age of the other party, knew that the other party was not only nearly ten years older than herself, but also had a daughter, and she was also widowed just now? Therefore, she was extremely disgusted with the hasty and stubborn decision of her father.
"Later ......"
"When I was first arranged to meet Lord Presto, who had to flee to Lordaeron because he had lost his territory, I was fascinated by him...... I never thought that he would be completely different from what I imagined, that he would be a handsome, polite, and talented young aristocrat? ”
Thinking about it, she was only sixteen years old at that time, and the Lord of Presto looked like she was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and it was also the age when she was young, handsome and charming, and she was deeply attracted to the other party just by looking at it.
At that time, her strange feeling of falling in love at first sight and being convinced is something she still can't forget!
And she still remembers that it was in the year when she suddenly changed her mind again, when she suddenly didn't hold a grudge against her father and went to rejoice, but the other party disappeared mysteriously for unknown reasons...... Although there were a lot of bad rumors that were very bad for that lord during this period, she Jialia herself never believed it!
It was that year that she went to Dalaran to cast a bronze wishing coin, and her brother Arthas Minethir joined the Order of the Silver Hand and became a glorious paladin.
Thinking of this, Jialia's expression couldn't help but feel a little lonely......
If her brother was still alive and her father was well, how good would it be? Then, perhaps, they can all watch themselves and the other one, watch her enter the palace of marriage and bless her...... But alas, something has already happened and it can never be undone.
"But who knows......"
"At the end, when he was about to become king of Alterac and his father was about to officially announce that he would marry me to him, he suddenly disappeared and has not been heard from since......"
"Hermione, actually, I also know that there are indeed some rumors in Lordaeron right now, that the lord only came back suddenly after seeing that I was about to become queen? However, I know that Lord Presto is not that kind of person, because he is about to become the new king of Alterac, and King Pirenod has been deposed because of the orcs, and it is almost a fact that Lord Presto will become the new king. ”
"So, Hermione...... I believe in Lord Presto! ”
"If he was in it for power, he wouldn't have said goodbye back then, he just had to wait patiently to become the king of Alterac! If he covets power, he won't come back at the height of Lordaeron's danger and expose the power he's been hiding so well to help me! ”
Speaking of this, a rare red flashed on Jialia's face again.
Obviously, the more she explained, the harder it became for her to suppress her strong feelings for that Excellency, and she was convinced that he must have come back for her sake of her Caria Minethir, that he had come back to help her, and nothing else, and that was enough.
"Hey......"
Sighing, Hermione felt that the princess's sister and future queen, Galia, was probably really hopeless, and had completely fallen under the charm of that old man.
It is undeniable that the Lord of Presto is indeed very handsome and charming, and at the same time very powerful, a mage with extraordinary strength, but, in Hermione's opinion, the other party is still too old, and the uncle who is nearly forty years old seems to be a little unworthy of her queen sister Caria?
Of course, she would definitely not dare to say that kind of thing directly in front of Jialia, otherwise, maybe the eldest sister in front of her, who was completely blind for the so-called love, would definitely turn her face with her!
"But ......"
"Sister Galia, don't be angry with me when you say it, because I've always been weird, and I don't know why so many of you say that Lord Presto is good, but I still think he's a little weird, because he's a little too popular, like a ......"
"It's like he's having some kind of spell-like effect on him......"
Hermione didn't know why she felt that way, anyway, she only knew that unlike the situation where ordinary people are easily attracted to that Presto Lord, in her Hermione's opinion, the other party was just a polite and greeting middle-aged greasy uncle, and where was Sister Caria so good?
In short, she thought that guy was weird, but she didn't know where the other party's weirdness was.
“??”
"Enchanted charm? What is the 'Enchanted Charm'? ”
Hearing a new word suddenly pop up from the other party that she had never heard before, Jialia couldn't help but look at the other party with some curiosity and asked with her eyes.
"No!"
"It's nothing, Sister Jialia, let's finish the work first, shall we? Don't talk about your Presto Lord just yet, or you'll blame me if I accidentally say something bad. ”
Shaking her head, at the end of her life, Hermione didn't forget to smile and joke about a certain sister Caria who was hating to marry.
Actually, she didn't know what the 'Enchanted Charm' was, but she did know that there was something called Aphrodisiac, and it was a potion that was the most effective and powerful love potion in their magical world! However, the aphrodisiac can't really control the ** feelings, all it can bring is a strong sense of obsession, similar to the weird affection that Hermione now finds in the greasy uncle lord that others have for him?
Of course, she just thought about it casually, and she wasn't too sure, and even wondered if it was really just because she wasn't from this world, which caused some concepts to be incompatible with the people here, and there were some big differences in culture and habits, so she couldn't appreciate some of the special charms of that uncle?
anyway
So far, she has never been able to find or find out in the greasy uncle lord that the other party has thoughts and actions that are unfavorable to Jialia or Lordaeron, so she has to bury that doubt in her heart for the time being.
"Dear Hermione, I'm sure I won't blame you!"
"By the way, can you hand me the seal and wax over there? I've just signed these documents, can you help me read them again? ”
After a rare laugh and a shake of her head, Delia, who was not going to talk about that kind of thing at work anymore, gradually put away her mood and smiled and gave orders to Hermione, she planned to finish all this work for the day first.
Speaking of which, Galia, who had never thought she could be a queen, and she had never been exposed to such a job, it was the first time that she found it so troublesome and tiring to deal with such simple affairs, and if it weren't for Hermione, the countess, to help her, she would have been exhausted.
"Of course no problem!"
"Give!"
For Miss Hermione Granger, a top student from Hogwarts, apart from divination and prediction of 'who will die first' of the kind of illogical things in the world that can stump her, as long as they can be handled with wisdom and logic, it is impossible to stump her, even if she and Jialia are just novices in government affairs!
Moreover, she didn't know what was going on, but she found that she felt very handy at handling government affairs, as if she had some kind of talent?
Maybe......
If she had a chance to return to Hogwarts alive and live in her world, she would definitely enter the Ministry of Magic after she graduated, and see if she could run for the Minister of the Ministry? Being the best student, getting the highest grades, and being the biggest official has always been Hermione's goal, and that kind of thing has never changed.
……
Unbeknownst to Hermione and Caria, while they were busy with their work, a greasy uncle who was leading his followers to sweep away the scattered undead and devote himself to the study of the undead plague that was enough to destroy life and pollute the earth, Lord Presto, unexpectedly ran into a large crow falling from the sky!
However, he didn't get too nervous, just stood there, squinting, and just watched the other person change and transform into an old wizard in a taupe cloak and a wooden staff in his hand.
‘?? ’
'Enemies? ’
‘!! ’
'Enemy attack! Fast! Kill him!! ’
Spotting a wizard of unknown origin flying down suddenly, the followers of Lord Presto stopped collecting samples from the earth and the different slain undead, and instead drew their long swords at their waists and delicate heavy shields on their backs, and prepared to surround the enemy.
"Stop!"
"Humph! Don't be so nervous, you might as well see what he has in mind first......"
Seeing who it was, Lord Presto chuckled and suddenly stretched out his hand, signaling and stopping the sturdy followers who were on guard around him, wearing Lordaeron's heavy plate armor but wearing the Presto family crest of battle, not to be so agitated.
Because, if it's just the other party, then he won't be taken into account by Lord Davar Presto for the time being! In fact, it didn't matter who came to trouble him, as long as the people who came weren't the brothers and sisters he was most worried about.
"You ......."
"Sure enough, it's a group of filthy black dragons! Black Dragon! Do you think you can fool me with this little trick of yours?! ”
It was Hermione who had met more than once, and had managed to fool Gianna and some of the orcs who had fled to Kalimdor as deserters!
For a period of time, not only the bronze dragon Chromie has noticed the changes in the land of Lordaeron, the changes in the undead, and all the other changes that have gone beyond the original trajectory, but even Medivan, who has been staring at the situation on the Lordaeron continent and has been waiting for some terrifying existence to come.
However......
After observing and studying for many days, Medivan finally succeeded in finding the biggest unstable factor, and pointed the finger at the cause of the change, and pointed the finger at Lord Davar Presto and his evil Black Dragonmen who suddenly appeared in front of him.
When he flew down just now, he saw that the other party was collecting tissue specimens of plagues and various undead monsters, and he must be studying some kind of conspiracy to destroy the world, and he must not be wrong!
"Oh?"
After sneering at each other in some surprise, and quickly seeing the reality of the other party, Lord Presto relaxed.
"Huh!"
"Watch your attitude, Medivan, you've lost most of your power, you're just a mortal now, and if I want to make a move on you, you won't be able to leave easily."
To be honest, even though he has been seriously injured and has not been able to heal, Lord Davar Presto is still confident that if he makes a move, the Medivan on the other side, the Guardian who has lost most of his previous Guardian power, will definitely not be his opponent.
It's just that he doesn't want to make a move on the other party now, because his goal is a little different from before, and there is no need to waste his strength here.
"Say it!"
"The Destroyer, the embodiment of death, the destroyer of worlds, the Black Scourge, the Guardian of Death, the Shadow of Blood, the Existence of Darkness, the Destroyer of the Worlds, the Guardian of the Former Earth, the Evil Deathwing, the King of the Black Dragons, Nessario, you are not staying in your Deep Rock Continent now, and sneaking back to Lordaeron, what terrible conspiracy are you trying to fiddle with?!"
After directly revealing the identity of the other party, Medivan slammed the wand in his hand, causing a circle of powerful energy fluctuations to surge out, and as the guardian of Tirisfa, he intimidated the Black Dragon King in front of him and the surrounding Black Dragon Protectors who had transformed into human soldiers and were still ready to move.
And if it weren't for some concerns that he couldn't directly tell others and reveal the true identity of the other party, how would he, Medivan, force himself to come to such a terrible existence?
However, for the sake of this land, for the survival of mankind, he himself, as a guardian, must face and try to stop any terrible conspiracy that may exist on the other side.
“……”
"Stop bluffing!"
With that look on his face, Deathwing Nesario looked at the other party with disdain for several times before he said with a sneer.
"Medivan, do you think you can stop me with your current strength?"
He was amused, because the ridiculous energy fluctuations that the other party had just erupted from were not taken into his eyes, even if the other party successfully deterred the useless elite dragons around him.
He knew that the Medivan in front of him was not the previous Medivan, and it couldn't be compared with the strongest guardian in human history, Magna Egwen, so he didn't take the other party's pale threat to heart when he knew the other party's reality.
"You can try it!"
With a froze expression, Medivin gritted his teeth and prepared to give the other a little color, and the arcane energy in his hand began to gather, trying to channel some kind of spell that was effective against the dragon.
"Medivan ......"
"I'm afraid it's not your turn to do anything, the former Guardian who colluded with the Burning Legion and opened the Dark Gate!"
"Or do you want to face my true power?"
Seeing that the other party was really planning to cast a spell, the impatient Nessario glared at him fiercely, and released his intimidating dragon aura towards the other party.
'My name is Deathwing, Guardian of the Earth, Destroyer of Destiny, Terminator of All Things, Unstoppable, Undisobeyed! Tremble in front of the Black Dragon King!! ’
'Because of me! It's the embodiment of power! ’
“……”
This......
Although the other party was just a look, in Medivan's eyes, it was as if he saw a terrifying burning dragon roaring at him with flames and heat gushing out from under the scales of his black skin, and he really directly interrupted his powerful strike spell that was indeed a bluff?
“!!”
"You!!"
Staggering back a big step, Medivan, who was silent after interrupting the spell and casting the spell by the island owner, instantly knew where the gap between himself and the other party was, so he did not try to continue to prepare to cast the spell, but held the staff in his hand tightly, staring at the other party with a sad and vigilant gaze.
"Humph!"
"Fuck off, Medivan!"
"You're just a mortal mage now, the world has changed, and some things aren't as simple as you seem...... However, if you dare to appear in front of me again, I will seriously consider letting you die a second time! ”
After glancing at the other party coldly, Deathwing, now Lord Presto, slowly put away the terrifying and terrifying aura on his body.
In fact, he himself knew that his injury did not allow him to fight that Medivan here again, although he was sure that the other party was definitely not his opponent? However, he also knew that now was not the time to fight, because he had more important things to do, and he couldn't expose his existence and power too much, otherwise, once his brothers and sisters sensed his presence and rushed to him, I am afraid that there would be nothing to do with his Deathwing.
Moreover, he had always had some kind of concern in his heart, and he had been trying to be suspicious of the strange changes that were quietly taking place in the world, and felt that it was necessary to investigate.
“……”
Damn it!
Knowing that he couldn't please today, and thinking that he had probably discovered some of the other party's schemes, Medivan sighed in his heart.
"Wait, Deathwing, evil black dragon, I'll keep an eye on you, I'll never let your plot succeed!!"
Therefore, after staring at the soldiers who were holding swords, but were actually elite black dragons in disguise, they surrounded him, weighed it, and felt that the situation in front of him did not seem to be very favorable to him, so he had to grit his teeth, and after a final warning, he turned around, turned into a large storm crow, and quickly fled towards the sky.
"Humph!"
"Listen to you!!"
Staring at the big crow flying away in the sky, Deathwing didn't pay too much attention to the other party.
Now, the only thing he was worried about was the fear of using his power too much and being discovered by his brothers and sisters, after all, those guys would definitely not trust and forgive him easily...... Furthermore, he didn't bother to explain to anyone or any dragon why he, the Deathwing, had suddenly chosen to come to Lordaeron and disguise himself to help the mortals.
Yes......
He disdains to explain, even if he is misunderstood, even if he may be found out again by his brothers and sisters and come to the door and beat him severely, his pride makes him disdain to explain to anyone or plead for mercy and forgiveness!
Because
He is Nesario, he is the Winger of Death, he is the destroyer of destiny, the terminator of all things, the guardian of the earth, unstoppable, undisobedient!!
‘……’
'My lord, what are we going to do now?!' ’
Seeing that the enemy was quickly departing, and not daring to disobey his master too much, the soldier, dressed in Lordaeron's heavy armor and presto's robes, hurried over and saluted and respectfully asked Lord Presto, who had gradually subsided the terrible aura on his body.
Apparently, the 'soldier' was a little worried about the 'crow' that flew away, and the guy named Medivan would cause some kind of hindrance to their work.
"Leave him alone, if he knows each other, he should know what to do!"
"Now, to continue the investigation and collection of samples, we must try to get a good plague steamer as soon as possible, and then send the original plague samples to Blackstone Mountain! Tell my unsuccessful son to stop the experiments of the colorful dragon and let him try to find a way to fight and eradicate the plague first! ”
Although, Nesario also knew that if he destroyed and burned this land with his own power, he would definitely be able to completely disintegrate and eliminate the continuous erosion of the earth by the undead natural disaster! However, it would take him a lot of power and a lot of time, and if he made too much noise, I believe that before he could carry it out, his brothers and sisters who hated him to the bone would have already led those troublesome mortals to kill him......
Therefore, the injury is not yet healed, and he really doesn't want to experience the tragic scene of the battle of Grimbaatar again, and he doesn't want to be beaten by the four dragon kings again, so he can only retreat to the next best thing and use some relatively gentle and covert methods to achieve his goal.
'Yes! ’
'Rest assured, host, we will go to that task as soon as possible!' ’
————————————
When all kinds of changes and incidents are happening in Lordaeron, far north of the continent, here in Stormwind City, a storm is also quietly brewing......
In the past few days, His Majesty King Varian Ureon suddenly forcibly ordered a part of the elite troops to be redeployed back to Stormwind, and at the same time requisitioned the personal armies of some nobles and sent them to the Western Wilderness, and the excuse was: he planned to send troops to aid Lordaeron, so the nobles' armed forces were temporarily borrowed to defend against the rebels in the Western Wilderness?
Now, the night was deep, but there was no moonlight in the sky, and it looked drowsy......
And on this dark and windy night, Bervar Vortagen, the Grand Duke of Stormwind, was walking briskly down the dimly rocky corridors of Stormwind Fortress, because, just now, the guards came to summon him, saying that His Majesty was going to summon him?
Therefore, he didn't know what was going on with Varian, so he didn't care about the armor or gown of the ship, and just wore a linen nightgown and didn't bring any weapons, and just walked on the way to the king's study.
Because it was a safe Stormwind Fortress, a new fortified fortress, and heavily guarded by the Royal Guards of Stormwind both outside and inside, he certainly didn't need to worry about his safety.
Gala~!
"Huh?!"
"Strange, what an honor, beautiful Lady Presto, why are you here?"
After nodding to the guards beside the gate, Archduke Berval Vortagan pushed the door in, and to his surprise, he found that in addition to His Majesty King Varian, there was the Countess of Catlana Presto, who had fascinated him.
So, without thinking much about it, he smiled and said hello to the other party.
"Good evening, Duke Vortagen!"
Katrana didn't say much, just nodded with a smile on her face and chuckled at the Grand Duke, who had walked in generously.
“……”
Disastrous!
Seeing the bright smile of the other party in the candlelight at the height of the night, His Excellency the Grand Duke of Stormwind felt that his bones were about to be crispy...... Therefore, he didn't even pay much attention to the other party's polite words to himself.
You know, in the past, that beautiful lady had always affectionately called him Bolval......
“!!”
"Ahem!"
Finding that a certain Grand Duke did not greet him first, but just made eye contact with the countess beside him, a certain king's face darkened, so after taking a deep breath, he slowly put down the things in his hand and coughed twice with some dissatisfaction.
"Ahh
"Your Majesty King Varian, I wonder what you are doing with me at this time?"
Finally, Grand Duke Berval Vortagen, who had finally come to his senses, saw Varian's face, and awkwardly withdrew his gaze from the young, beautiful, and charismatic countess, and looked at his Majesty, waiting for the other party's command.
"Bolwal, I won't say much about our relationship, I trust you very much, even more than myself!"
"But ......"
"Forget it, you'd better see for yourself!"
Varian, who wanted to scold or interrogate the other party, suddenly withered at the end of the day, and then directly grabbed the things he had just put down, stood up from behind the desk and walked in front of the other party, and then walked to the window with his back to the other party, looking out the window with his back to the other party.
Of course, he must not be in the mood to see the scenery, he is taking the opportunity to relieve his depressed emotions and wait for the other party's reaction, he wants to see what the other party has to say to him, the king.
“??”
The bewildered Grand Duke Berval Vortagen had no idea what His Majesty was angry about, or what trouble was going on, so in his confusion, he directly looked at what the other party had just found in his arms.
“!!”
Then the bright candlelight in the study, after a moment of glance at ten lines, Berval Vortagan was startled, and then turned his head in astonishment, and looked at a certain countess Catlana Presto, who was still smiling and standing at the king's desk, completely unaware of why he had done so.
"Lana, you're ......"
Obviously, in his hand was a large number of letters from various Stormwind nobles, and there were also his Bolval's on it, because that kind of anti-counterfeiting seal and fire paint would definitely not be fake, and what he wrote was also impressive!
In addition to the thick letters, there was also a parchment of the confession and a shocking list, which, judging from the handwriting, must have come from the handwriting of the Countess of Catlana Presto in the study, and what was even more terrifying was that:
On that fateful list, the name of his Grand Duke Berval Vortagen is prominently on the list and at the top!?
"Bolvar, you've let me down so much......"
"Now, let's say, what else do you have to say, if there is, you can say it now, here are the three of us, I will give you the opportunity to present to me in person!"
After a long time, after finding that the Grand Duke of Stormwind City behind him did not move for a long time, but silently held the attributes and lists in his hand and was silent, Varian turned around suddenly, and couldn't help but walk in front of the other party with anger, staring closely at the other party's eyes that gradually flickered a little.
“……”
"Your Majesty, what do you want me to say?"
Sighing, though he didn't know why Katrana did this, Berval finally didn't dare to make eye contact with the king's eyes, but reluctantly closed his eyes and hung his head.
"You!"
"Don't you want to explain that you're not involved in this kind of thing at all?!"
Wide-eyed in disbelief, Varian grabbed the placket of the other's chest and pulled him to himself, forcing him to look into his eyes, desperate to see the look he wanted to see in the other's eyes.
however
Varian was soon disappointed, because what he was seeing was not what he wanted to see......
“!!”
"So, Berval, it's all true, you're really involved?!"
Seeing the other party turn his head sideways, Varian softened, and while letting go of the other party, he couldn't help but take two full steps back in sadness, and stared at the other party's face with grief and disbelief that no longer dared to look at him.
“……”
"I'm sorry, my majesty......"
With that, Bolwal sighed for the first time, admitted a terrible fact, and then let go of his hand, letting the ironclad evidence in his hand slip onto the stone floors that had not been built long and were not too smooth.
Because, he had just revisited the original matter, and then, he was stunned to find out...... Himself, Berval Vortagen, the Grand Duke of Stormwind, really seemed to have accidentally been involved in the terrible thing that he had been reviralizing and hating all along?
And, if we sort out the whole thing according to the description in the statement written by Katrana, and compare it with the letters that were indeed written by herself, how can we find an even more terrible fact, that is, that he Berval Vortagen really became the leader of the whole thing without knowing it, although he had not been very aware of it?
But there is no doubt that he will not be able to argue with this matter!
"You've let me down so much......"
"If it weren't for Count Katrana's revelations, I might have been kept in the dark by you...... Berval, you're the Grand Duke of Stormwind, my right hand and my trust! ”
"I can't believe you're going to be in league with those despicable nobles!"
"Do you know that you can be said to have betrayed our re-established country and betrayed me!!"
"Guards !!"
After scolding the other party with a heaving chest and giving vent to the inexplicable grief and indignation in his heart almost by pointing at the other's nose, Varian finally took two steps back and called out to the guards.
Soon, two Stormwind royal guards, who had already been prepared, pushed the door open and walked in with their swords on the hilt.
"Bolval ......"
"You really don't have anything to say?"
However, before the guards could come in and prepare to take the man, Varian felt the need to give the other another chance, so he finally looked at the other party with that almost pleading gaze, hoping that the other party would come up with an excuse to forgive him, no matter how clumsy.
"I'm sorry, my majesty......"
"Although it was the first time I knew about my crime, I did participate, and it was written word for word, but it was just ...... I didn't expect it to get that serious......"
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I won't quibble, I fully admit the facts of the above statement."
Bolval did not deny it, he only glanced at King Varian, who looked like an angry lion, with a smile and a crying expression, and then gave a final regretful look at the Countess Catlana Presto, who had told the king on the other side.
He didn't hate the other party, it's just that he complained a little...... If that lady could tell him that terrible thing in time, I believe it would definitely not have evolved like this in the end, so......
However, after thinking about it, after seeing that innocent expression on the face of the charming lady, Bowval quickly chose to forgive the other party. Because, even he only realized now that he had inadvertently discovered that kind of thing, and presumably, the other party must have learned about it recently and had to report it to the king, right?
The other party is for the sake of peace and stability in the Storm Kingdom, and he really has nothing to blame the other party, otherwise, this matter will inevitably involve the other party, so it is logical to report them.
"I'm sorry, Berval, I had to do that for the sake of the Stormwind Kingdom......"
"Guards!"
"Take him down and put him in the dungeon first......"
After giving orders to the guards, and seeing two guards in heavy armor and helmets with unclear expressions come forward and press down on Bolval's shoulders fiercely, Varian sat back in his seat and waved weakly, signaling the guards to stay behind.
"I'm sorry!"
"Berval, I had to do that for the sake of Stormwind......"
Seeing that the other party was about to be taken away by the guards, Katrana hurriedly stepped forward, silently gazed at the other party's face with tearful eyes, and made a sad and last resort expression.
"Lana ......"
"I don't blame you, I didn't expect that I would inadvertently do that kind of thing that harms the interests of the Stormwind Kingdom......"
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Bolval, who didn't want to say more, was quickly led out by the guards......
“……”
At this time, more royal guards had already arrested the nobles on the list according to the list, although that would cause some turmoil in the Stormwind Kingdom, but Varian, who had been prepared for a long time, did not hesitate too much when there was a serious charge and evidence.
Besides, Katrana was right, that was the best option for Stormwind Kingdom, and he had to do it!
"Carter, are you sure you can handle the rest of the matter?"
Now, Varian still doesn't know what to do with Bowval, after all, their relationship is so ...... However, although the first step has been completed, he is not sure if he can really settle down the Storm Kingdom next.
Therefore, Varian had no choice but to look at the young and capable countess with an inquiring look, and now, it seemed that there were really not many people he could trust.
"Of course no problem, my majesty!"
"Those nobles will have enough gold coins copied from their homes, and under the temptation of double wages, I think that those stonemasons' guild will put aside all their previous prejudices and live well in the western wilderness, so you can wait for my good news!"
With that, Countess Catlana Presto, who knew that what had been brewing these days was almost over, smiled, saluted the king, and prepared to leave.
Because she knew that His Majesty Varian needed to be quiet now, and there were some things that he had to figure out by himself, and she wouldn't be bored by staying here at this time.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Varian called out to Count Catlana, who was about to leave the door.
“??”
"What's wrong? My Majesty? ”
Katrana turned back and winked at the king with a not-so-obnoxious wink.
“……”
"Don't embarrass their families too much, as long as they hand over enough property to atone for their crimes, as for the charges, I'll talk about them when I get back from Lordaeron......"
'Uh-huh......
'Okay, as you wish?' ”
