"But he's interesting, and the proposals he's coming up with are really valuable." But, my ambassador, now that you are here, we should discuss something more strict. For example, the question of King Perinord. ”

"Damn, King! that's an awkward word. He doesn't deserve it at all!" Thorbane shouted, his right fist slamming on the table, sending the glasses, saucers, and flasks on the table to the ground. "He betrayed us all, almost ruined us, and that's what he got?" With an angry look on his face, he continued, "If the death penalty cannot be imposed on him, at least he should be put in prison!"

"Aha, if it were me, I wouldn't put traitors in those barred cages. He never spoke tactfully, but said whatever was in his heart, and never worried about whether what he said would offend others. Muradin knew that while some of the Coalition lords found this trait off-putting, it was always a cheer for Tyrenus and his old friend Torbain.

From the terrace where the three of them were, they could look down on the great lake in front of the city. The scenery is fascinating, but it is also the place that indirectly contributed to this conversation. The hammer of Orgrim Miè was the same mountain that led his tribe here thanks to the betrayal of the lord of Alterac, Aiden Perynod. In the aftermath of the war, Terenus led the Alliance soldiers into Alterac. Perinor was imprisoned in the name of military law. But. The man who had a long-standing feud with Torbain was simply kept under house arrest in his palace by Tyrenus. He was under surveillance with his family. Since then, there has been no other action.

Tol Bain, like many others, was unhappy about this. As the closest neighbor to Perironord, he was forced to endure the tricks of King Alterac for a long time. Had it not been for Tolbain's quick thinking and swiftness to seal off those ridge passages and hold back a part of the tribe's fresh forces, the whole tribe would have crossed the plain like a torrent of green. Crossing that lake, it eventually rushed to the royal capital of Lordaeron, and brought the entire city to its knees.

"I agree that even if the punishment is harsher, it is the right thing for him. Terenus said cautiously, trying to calm his old friend. Muradin reached for a scone and a hard-boiled egg.

Terenus continued, "But he was, or at least he was, the king of Alterac. We can't just exile him or put him in prison. If we did. The other Alliance Sovereigns will surely be worried, worried that they will disagree with us. They will be treated in the same way. ”

"We will, if they betray us like Perynord!" Thorbain retorted, but he quickly calmed down. Muradin knew that Thorbain was not stupid, and that what he had just said and did was just out of a moment of brain fever.

"Ah, that's a complicated question. Muradin said, deciding to get another piece of scone for himself. "You can't just throw him off a cliff. This will cost you your prestige in the hearts of others. But you can't just leave him alone. ”

"We need to force him to abdicate. Terenus made the point again - it wasn't the first time the two of them had had a similar conversation. "After that, we can go and interrogate him, and then put him to death as an ordinary League nobleman. He pinched his beard and continued, "But the problem is that he refuses to abdicate. ”

Thorbain snorted, "Of course, he knows that abdication means his own death!" He's too free now, and there's a good chance that he'll cause new trouble. ”

Terenus nodded in agreement, "That's true. We have to do something about Alterac, especially with regard to emerging issues. He sighed. "Ultimately, all we need is a fight and worry about new betrayers. ”

"And what about that kid?" Muradin asked, gently brushing a few crumbs of bread from his bushy beard. "Won't he fight for the throne?"

"You're talking about Aliden?" Thorbain snorted and replied, "Same thing as his dad." ”

"For me, I don't care too much about him. "He's just a spoiled kid from a young age, and he doesn't know what it means to endure hardship, he doesn't know what it means to face danger, and maybe he doesn't even know how to be a leader." Taking a step back, why should we stop him? He is the son of Aiden, the crown prince of Alterac. If his father abdicated, he would surely be crowned king. ”

"No one can prove that he knew about his father's betrayal. "I don't mean to say that ignorance of this matter is better than being played with, but at least it's good for him." ”

Just then, a servant appeared at the door. Muradin frowned, afraid that the annoying goblin wanted to negotiate trade with them. But it's not. The servant brought good news, "Your Highness the King, Lord Davar Presto asks for an audience. ”

"Ah, Raven, bring him up. Terenus said, then turned to Torbairn and Muradin. "Have you ever met Lord Presto?"

Muradin replied, "Well, he is indeed a good man. It is commendable that after he has been through so much, he has been able to survive strongly. Thorbain nodded in agreement.

Muradin took a bite of the egg and recalled the man. Lord Presto is a man who has been tricked by fate. It wasn't until recently that Muradin had heard of him—of course, he didn't know much about the complex aristocratic relationships of humanity. According to others, Presto was once the lord of a small kingdom deep in the mountains near Lordaeron. His ancestry can be traced back to the royal family of Alterac, and he is a distant cousin of Perinord. During the Second War, Presto's entire kingdom fell to the attack of a dragon, and only he and some of his close relatives escaped. Without the help of his servants and guards, Presto made his way to the capital of Lordaeron with great difficulty, taking with him only a few shabby clothes and his fame. His royal lineage brought him into the nobility of Lordaeron, and his charisma allowed him to make many good friends, including the three who sat around the table. It was the construction of Presto that military law was given a pass in Alterac. Both Terenus and the other Alliance Lords agreed that this was a good solution, though only temporarily.

After a few moments, the man they had just discussed walked up to the terrace and bowed to everyone with a respectful bow. His curly black hair seemed to glow a pale blue in the warm and bright morning sun. "Your Highness," Presto whispered, his baritone-like voice easily reaching the ears. "And the distinguished ambassadors. It's a pleasure to see you again. ”

"That's true. Terenus said cheerfully, "Sit down." Would you like to have some tea?"

"Today's apricot cake was delicious. Muradin offered it to him. The dwarf was munching on the scones when he accidentally squirted out some debris, so he quickly covered his mouth with his hand. Compared to Presto's usual love of cleanliness, Muradin felt very rude.
