Lordaeron has been strong for hundreds of years, and the palace at the southernmost point of the royal city, on the northern shore of Lake Lordamere, has been expanded many times during these centuries.

Princess Galia has a modest status among the royal family of Minethir, behind King Terenus and Crown Prince Arthas, and her residence is a long way from the vestibule palace where she conducts daily government affairs.

The small garden on the north side towards the city is near the dormitory of Galia, just a few minutes' walk away.

After Terenus woke up from a serious coma, in order to balance the handling of government affairs and physical recuperation, he deliberately moved his dormitory to the palace closest to the outer court, so that the ministers could meet him.

And Garia's dormitory is located in the middle of the inner courtyard of the palace complex, and walking through such a large palace is not so easy to meet the unwell Terenus.

But such a bizarre thing happened, and for a moment Sarren suspected that his identity had been revealed.

"Ahem~"

Although Galia politely complimented Terenus on his improved health, Sarjan could tell from his breathless cough that the old man was still weak.

In order to avoid being discovered by Terenus, Sarjan did not dare to go out to check his face, and quietly curled up in Garia's wide sleeve to listen to the conversation between father and daughter.

"Heh~ polite words are exempt."

Terenus smiled self-deprecatingly, "My body, I know it myself. ”

"After all, I'm old, and the recovery speed is far less than when I was young and strong."

"If it had been five years earlier, this little illness would have been able to recover in one week at most."

Jialia frowned and said, "Father, what you are suffering from this time is not a minor illness, and the priests have also said that you are suffering from overwork. ”

"When you are young, you rely on your physical fitness to forcibly suppress the disease, and when you get older, it will come out at once, and it is not easy to recuperate your body, you should reduce your workload as much as possible and take care of your body more."

Terenus said stubbornly, "I would like to, but I don't dare to stop now. ”

"Now that the kingdom is in turmoil at home and abroad, a wrong step may cause Lordaeron to fall into the abyss, how can you let me retire with peace of mind."

Galia: "This ......"

Terenus waved his hand weakly: "Cough~ Forget it, don't talk about this." ”

"It's rare that today's government affairs are dealt with early, and I plan to go to see Alsace and point out his misunderstandings in governing the country."

Sarren suddenly felt the plain hand in the sleeve of Galia clenched slightly, but she still didn't say anything on the surface, still maintaining the elegant and gentle smile that she had cultivated since childhood.

"That kid is easy to get into the horns, and someone really needs to enlighten him."

"Enlightenment?"

Terenus sneered: "My children of Terenus are not so fragile, Arthas needs not enlightenment, but the guidance of those who have come before. ”

"Okay, don't blow too much wind outside, go back to the dormitory to rest after enjoying afternoon tea, and you will go to the Lizheng Palace early tomorrow morning to assist me in managing the government."

Galia remained silent and bent her legs again to salute Terenus.

"Thank you for your concern, Father, please go slowly."

Seeing Terenus march towards Arthas's palace with the help of his attendants, Galia stood in a daze and stared at his back, not moving for a long time.

Saljan also took the opportunity to poke his head out of his cuffs to observe, and an old man with a leaning body, dressed in a fine robe and a crown, was staggering away.

'Is that Terenus?' This guy is only in his 50s this year, right? Why is it like this? ’

According to Lordaeron's official report, the average life expectancy of the people of Lordaeron is only 45 years.

But that's because civilians who live in poor conditions and find it difficult to feed themselves have pushed the average lower.

Princes and nobles like Terenus, who eat and drink well, usually live to their 70s or even 80s without stress, as long as they do not suffer from incurable terminal diseases.

Although Sarjan often said that Tyrenus was old and faint, in reality he was not old among the human aristocracy, and should be considered hanging at the end of middle age.

However, from the outside, the gray-haired Terenus looked like he was in his seventies and eighties.

"It seems that this serious illness has consumed a lot of his vitality, and he looks more than ten years older than his actual age."

Under Sala's whispered reminder, the silent Galia finally pulled back her thoughts from wandering the world.

Seeing that there was no one on the left and right, Sarean slipped out of his cuffs, nimbly grabbed the lace edge of Galia's regular clothes and climbed up, finally squatting on her slightly thin shoulders.

"Feeling bad? Obviously, you are assisting him in handling government affairs during this time, but what Terenus cares about and wants to cultivate the most will always be his precious son. ”

Jialia pursed her lips and whispered: "Don't say it, Arthas was originally the crown prince, what is my vase?" It's just a tool to replace him temporarily. ”

"Heh~"

Dealing with people is the most taboo to talk about it, and Salian and Gelia have met for less than an hour, and they don't know each other well enough.

If she continues, it is easy to arouse Caria's disgust and vigilance, making her think that she is provoking a relationship with the royal family of Lordaeron.

The purpose of Sarjan's trip was to help the Lords of Lordship Lords gain the upper hand in the internal political struggle, and to force the red-eyed Terenus to abandon his plans to turn the tables and grit his teeth to recognize Alterac's re-independence.

During the previous week's lurk, Sarren's campaign had been successfully completed with the cooperation of the Quel'Salas Propaganda Department, raising a large number of doubts about the veracity of Lordaeron's official report.

Fueled by the officials of the Lord and the faction, more real intelligence from the front line was revealed one after another in various parts of Lordaeron.

The people of Lordaeron, who had always been very optimistic about the situation of the war, realized that the situation on the front line was not as devastating as they imagined, and the two armies had been holding each other in Alterac and Hillsbride for a long time, and neither could break the situation.

In order not to cause a large panic, the Lord and the faction also hid a lot of information that was not revealed, but Salian knew all about it.

The reason for the temporary stalemate is that the kingdom of Stormgard has not yet sent troops.

On the Western Front, the Kingdom of Gilneth is fighting against Lordaeron with the covert assistance of Dalaran, and on the Eastern Front, the combined forces of Alterac and Kurtilas are blocking the Knights of the Silver Hand.

The four major human kingdoms have all made their efforts openly and covertly, but only the kingdom of Stormgard, which has just recovered the capital Riptide Fort, is still holding its ground.

However, this is only temporary, with the feud between Stormgard and Lordaeron, there is a chance to gnaw on Lordaeron, and the Regency Council will never let go of the opportunity.

If Terenus continues to increase troops on both fronts, the other human kingdoms will not sit idly by, and both sides will raise their bets on the battlefield, causing the war to expand step by step, even affecting the entire northern part of the Eastern Continent.

Sarjan's plan was to force Terenus to make concessions before Stormgard could send in troops, ending the local war, which risked escalation.

Under the cultivation of successive kings of Minahir, the royal power of the Kingdom of Lordaeron has the absolute upper hand.

If it weren't for the successive wrong decisions of the father and son, Terenus and Arthas, who caused vicious incidents that damaged the national strength, the nobles' doubts about the royal family's decisions would not have been looked at by Terenus at all.

But in any case, the status of the royal family in the kingdom of Lordaeron is still very high.

Witnessing the mistakes of the aging Terenus and the immature Arthas, the aristocratic ministers, led by the Prime Minister, were disappointed in the father and son, and they tentatively turned their expectant eyes to another member of the royal family.

Princess Galia, who has recently gradually emerged in Lordaeron's political arena.

It is precisely because of Princess Garia's secret support that the Lord and the faction dare to fight against King Terenus, who is fighting with all his might.

Under the control of Sarjan, the people of Lordaeron were in turmoil, and the commoners and nobles feared that the flames of war would burn around them, and the people who had been watching the excitement and had fun gradually began to favor the Lord and the faction.

But that wasn't enough, for the stubborn Tyrenus to make concessions would require a heavy blow from the shattered dreams of Tyrenus's great unification.
