"Thank you very much. Presto wiped the seat in front of him with the handkerchief he had carried, then sat down gracefully and poured himself a cup of tea. Muradin handed him the plate of scones, but he smiled and raised his hand to politely reject the dwarf. His fingernails were meticulously trimmed, and his hands were calloused. "Hope I didn't disturb you?"

"Not at all, not at all. Terenus assured, "Actually, you came at the right time. We were just talking about Alterac. ”

"Pick it up, nsb, @.nsb.m of course. Presto enjoyed taking a sip of tea. "I'm sure you've all heard of young Ashden?" He was surprised when he saw the blank expressions of the crowd. "He's a nephew of Lord Perrynord, a hairy apricot. ”

"Oh, yes. That guy who escaped to Gilneth, huh?" Thorbane asked.

"Yes. He fled shortly after you had military law in Alterac TongguΓ². Rumor has it that he wanted some support from there to help him get the throne. ”

"Greymane had mentioned it," Tyrenus remembered, "but he had never seen the child himself, or his retinue. ”

Presto shook his head and said, "Greymane is noble enough. He didn't even use this person to make a profit. All he needed to do was support the young Seisden to become king. Then Gilneth could reap a fortune from Alterac's vast fortune. And, of course, there is also permission to access the numerous ridges of GuΓ² Alterac. ”

Γ· pulled his beard at the top, "Oh, that's tempting. ”

Rinas and Tolbairn exchanged glances. The old fox Greymane could not have missed such an opportunity, but he claimed that he had never met the boy. Is he lying? Or is he playing some other conspiracy?

"What do you think we should do with Alterac?" Terenus asked Presto.

"Your Highness, why are you asking me?"

"The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. We think your views will be valuable. ”

Presto blushed slightly and said. "Really, you take such a fancy to me, thank you. All right...... In my opinion, Your Highness, you should keep Alterac for yourself. After all, you are the leader of the Alliance, and your country paid a terrible price for it in the last war. I'm sure you need to get something in return for what you've put in. ”

Rinas chuckled, "No, thank you." He held up a hand, feigning surprise. "Lordaeron's business alone is enough for me. I don't want to occupy another kingdom and double the work of myself. King Muratius had considered this idea as well. After all, it's good in some ways. But the troubles it brings, especially from the other monarchs, will far outweigh the benefits, at least that's what Terenus thinks.

"And what about you, Your Highness the King?" Turning to King Stormgard, Presto said, "Your swift action has stopped Perynord's betrayal. I know very well that many of your soldiers have died at the hands of the orcs defending those mountain roads. The young nobleman's face showed a hint of pain, while the other three all shrank back slightly. They all knew what was in Presto's mind right now, and maybe that's why he was so cautious about himself. Muradin thought to himself that if he had been forced to flee from a city destroyed by dragon fire and walked in shabby clothes for so long, perhaps he would be as admired as Presto by now. ...

Thorbane frowned slightly, deep in thought. Before he could speak, Terenus spoke, "Neither Solas nor I are going to take Alterac. It is not simply a question of one country invading another. We are all part of the alliance, and we must work together to protect our world, our land. It is because of the unity of the alliance that we were able to defeat the Horde and win the war. Therefore, the spoils of war, including Alterac, should also belong to the entire Union. He shook his head, "If any of us want to annex Alterac, the other lords will think they're being looked down upon. ”

Muradin agreed, "Yes, this issue has to be voted on by all, or it should not be considered at all." He smiled slightly, "Anyway, I can still make the problem easier for everyone." ”

Presto nodded and put down the teacup in his hand, "I apologize if what I just said was inappropriate or offended you. He chuckled, "It seems that I am far from yours in terms of wisdom and diplomacy." ”

Terenus waved his hand lightly and said, "Dear Presto, you have not offended us. I asked you if you had any thoughts, and you said it. One of the reasons the three of us are here is to discuss this issue and find ways to satisfy everyone involved and keep Alterac safe and functioning. "Our friend Muradin is right – if we can give the alliance a good plan, it will save a lot of time and unnecessary arguments." ”

"Of course. I just hope that my small contribution will make a difference. Presto stood up and bowed deeply, "Now if I can, I'll leave here and let the three of you discuss this here, because I think it's far beyond my ability." He waited for Terenus to nod in agreement, then smiled gracefully at the crowd and left the terrace.

Torbain frowned as he watched the young lord leave. Presto was a little naΓ―ve, but he did get the point across. Maybe Alterac should be compensated. ”

"With what?" Muradin scoffed, "Alterac is just like you and me, almost penniless. At the same time, it sounds no different from revenge. ”

"Most of our money was spent on post-war reconstruction. Once we're in control of Alterac, we'll give their wealth to the Alliance. ”

"Well, and those orc shelters aren't cheap. Muradin added, "When all this money is used for them and restoration, and the castle next to the Dark Gate, how can there be any money for compensation?"

Thorbain sighed, "You're right. Anyway, I just think they deserve the price, after all, Alterac's betrayal caused so many casualties. ”

"Perynord's betrayal. Terenus pointed right, "We must remember that. Few citizens of Alterac knew of their king's treachery. Perynod just kept them away from a few mountain trails, and let the orcs follow the trails. That's the problem, not the problem that Alterac as a whole helped the tribe. ”

"That's true. "Over the years I've known a lot of people from Alterac, and they're all good people, not like their cunning kings. He shook his head, drained the flask in his hand, and wiped his beard with the back of his hand. "I'll think of another way to do it. He assured.

"We will all do. Muradin assured him. As the three stood up, Muradin reached for the last piece of scone on the table. "Don't worry, we'll find a solution. ”

"I'm pretty sure of that. Terenus agreed. "I just hope we can solve it before we are forced to face other, more pressing issues. Both of his companions knew what he was referring to. Just a few days ago, they received a warning from Khadgar, and now they are waiting for news from Tulayan. If the Horde does make a comeback, if the Dark Gate does open again, a question about Alterac will be left to be discussed later. As long as Perinord remains under house arrest and Alterac remains under League control, they can still consider these issues later – provided they survive to do so.

Muradin thought gloomily as young Arthas swung his wooden sword at the suit of armor. He only hoped that the young prince would not soon taste the taste of war.
