Today's Quel'Salas is no longer the de facto dualism of the Silvermoon Council, and after several successive deaths of the traditional aristocracy were leveled, most of the power was taken over by Anastria.

By the time Kael'thas ascended to the throne, the Sun King's authority grew by virtue of the foundation laid for him by the old king before his abdication.

Unless Kael'thas makes a major decision-making mistake, the cabinet has no power to force any of his decisions around.

Of course, Kael'thas wasn't the kind of tyrant who was arbitrary.

Most of the time, he still consults with the cabinet on state affairs, and only when there is a long-standing difference of opinion will he make the final decision with his own affirmative power as king.

In this respect, although the official position is almost the same as when he was the Speaker of the Silver Moon, the power in the hands of the current Prime Minister Darkan has actually shrunk significantly.

As long as Kael'thas is determined, Salian does not think that the Cabinet will dismiss his written proposal without shame.

If that day does appear, it means that this guy Darkan is starting to be dishonest again.

After talking about the deal with Van Dal, Salian naturally chatted with Kael'thas about the most noteworthy events in recent times.

Kael'thas: "Sarean, in your opinion, who will win the crown in the end of this battle for the throne of Lordaeron." ”

Salian shook his head: "I don't dare to draw conclusions, although there is a slight gap in the military strength in the hands of the two sides, but in terms of comprehensive strength in all aspects, they are still evenly matched. ”

"If this fight can be resolved peacefully, it is more likely that Caria, who has more civilian support, will take the throne."

"But if the two sides are finally forced to fight each other, it will depend on the performance of the two major forces on the battlefield."

"And ......"

Saljan smiled meaningfully, "The Knights of the Silver Hand's stance bias is also one of the key factors affecting the final outcome. ”

Kael'thas raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Do you think the Silver Hand will eventually take sides?" Didn't they say that they would choose neutrality between the two sides and be loyal only to the country and the people? ”

A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Salian's mouth: "Heh~ Just listen to this kind of thing." ”

"It is true that Uther is a man of noble temperament, but now that he is the head of the Silver Hand, he cannot make decisions based on his own enthusiasm alone, but needs to consider the comprehensive opinions of the entire Knights."

"Due to the increasingly rebellious and undisobedient behavior of Arthas in recent years, there are many within the Silver Hand who are dissatisfied with Uther's teaching of Arthas."

"According to the information sent back by Daniel Moon Hunter from the royal city of Lordaeron, the voices within the Silver Hand of support for Galia are gradually gaining the upper hand, and if the time comes to choose, the impartial Uther is destined to go against the will of the people."

"Silver's Hand......"

Kael'thas relaxed and leaned back in his chair: "In the Second Orc War, this elite unit showed extremely strong combat effectiveness and will to fight. ”

"In Lordaeron, the Paladins of the Silver Hand have always been synonymous with justice, attracting countless children to join the Silver Hand as their lifelong wish."

"As the spiritual banner of Lordaeron in a sense, their choices may indeed determine the final outcome of the battle for the throne."

Sarjan calmly added: "Arthas is not stupid, he can't just watch an ace army that can guide public opinion fall to Galia. ”

"Just a few dozen minutes ago, Valera received the latest intelligence from Lordaeron."

"Arthas made a gesture of repentance, and personally came to the door to apologize to Uther for his past rebellious words and deeds."

Kael'thas shook his head slightly: "Now, can this kind of behavior with too obvious intentions really convince Uther, who does not rub sand in his eyes?" ”

Sarjan smiled and spread his hands: "Of course the answer is no, Uther can see at a glance that Arthas's words are insincere." ”

"Uther's attitude has not changed in any way because of this, and he remains in a neutral position, and has no intention of speaking out for Arthas within the Order."

Kael'thas smiled unexpectedly: "This is very much in line with Uther's one-dimensional character, I'm afraid Arthas, who has always been proud, will be angry, right?" ”

……

As Kael'thas said, Arthas, who had failed as a "Corporal Lixian", was storming out in his dormitory.

"Who does he think he is! I lowered my posture and admitted my mistake, why was he still unmoved?! ”

For the irritable temper of this prince who was in the rebellious period of his youth, the civil and military officials who chose to support Alsace were a little helpless.

Some people secretly regret it in their hearts, annoying that they may have chosen the wrong object of support, and the Prince of Arthas does not look like a wise monarch.

At the same age, Varian Ureon, who had experienced his father's assassination and the destruction of his country, had already matured, and during his time in Lordaeron, Varian showed maturity and stability beyond his years.

As the so-called people are more than people, angry people, compared with Varian, who was almost the same age at the time, Alsace was too stretched.

Without Varian Jewel in front of them, the officials of Lordaeron would have been able to accept the unassuming performance of the young Prince of Arthas, but...... People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away.

This is the main reason why more than half of the civil servants choose to support Galia.

They couldn't imagine what kind of strange direction the future of the country would turn if Lordaeron, who had begun to fall from the peak, was put on such an emotional king.

In contrast, Princess Garia's policies are slightly more steady and consistent, and if they can't turn the tide and bring Lordaeron back to the top, at least it won't make the situation worse.

Just when Arthas was incompetent and furious, in the princess's bedroom at the other end of the palace, Princess Galia, who was becoming more and more dignified and steady in front of outsiders, was reading a letter with a smile on her face.

Ever since she had come to her senses with the help of Sarjan, she had often thought of the High Elf who had helped her at the most critical moments.

As the saying goes, the icing on the cake is not as good as charcoal in the snow.

As Galia gradually gained momentum, more and more Lordaeron officials came to vote.

But in Galia's mind, none of these people are as important as the foreigner who helped her back from the edge of the abyss in her most despondent years, Salian Deepshadow.

After all, a princess is different from a prince, and no male courtiers are allowed to enter the palace.

As Jialia read the letter with a smile on her face, several female officials looked at the young smile on the face of the maturing princess in amazement.

After exchanging opinions with each other, and seeing that Galia had finally finished reading the short letter, one of the youngest women in fancy clothes stood up.

"Your Royal Highness, what is this letter?"

When she put down the letter and turned around, the smile on her face quickly faded.

Although the corners of her mouth still have a surging smile, it is clear from the previous comparison that this is just a formulaic business expression.

"It's nothing, it's just a routine greeting letter from a distant friend, it has nothing to do with the current state of affairs, you don't have to care."

Now is the critical moment when the battle for the throne is about to be decided, and Gelia doesn't want to disrupt the overall deployment because of her personal feelings.

After rescuing some fluctuations in her heart, Galia quickly straightened her face and asked the young woman, "Lord Ansel, I heard that Arthas personally visited Sir Uther not long ago, what was the result?" ”

The young woman known as Lord Ansel, whose full name was Rosemary Ansel, was one of Galia's best friends, who inherited the title of her father, who died heroically in the Second Orc War at the age of 16.

In recognition of her father's exploits on the battlefield, Terrenas spared Rosemary the routine demotion that she should have had when she inherited the title, allowing her to retain her Earl title and continue to serve Lordaeron.

Don't look at the age of this Earl Ansel, as the only heir to a thin family, she has received extremely strict training from her father since she was a child.

In terms of personal force, the Earl of Ansell, who has reached the high-level elite level of combat power, can only be defeated by veteran legendary powerhouses such as Uther, Mogleni and Dasohan, and is definitely an outstanding talent among the younger generation of officers.

Whether it was out of political ideas or a personal relationship with Galia, Count Ansel did not hesitate to side with the princess.

As a martyr of Lordaeron, she could not sit idly by and watch the immature "little brat" lead her beloved country into the quagmire.

Count Ansel replied with a sneer: "It turns out that the Prince of Arthas has returned in vain, and he is now furious in his bedchamber." ”

Galia did not accuse Count Ansel of his impolite attitude towards his brother, but only sighed with a wry smile: "Arthas...... He was not ready to succeed the king. ”

"Suck~exhal~"

After taking a deep breath, Galia closed her eyes and was silent for a few seconds, and when she opened her eyes again, her momentum was noticeably different from her previous gentleness.

"We can't wait any longer, for the sake of Lordaeron's future, we must put an end to this internal turmoil as soon as possible."

"Lord Ansel, Lord Timara, Duke Lorton, I beg you to inform everyone."

The three noblewomen who were named all felt Jialia's determination, and immediately straightened their backs in awe and waited for the order.

Gallia said word by word: "The plan is officially launched, while Arthas has not yet made up his mind, we will strike first and strive to end this infighting at the lowest cost." ”

"Yes! Your will! ”
