Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 193: Flushed
Chapter 193 - Flushed
Her Royal Highness the Princess even forgot to return the gift.
After ten full seconds, she looked up as if she had suddenly woken up, lifted her skirt with her left hand and bowed gently like a lady: "Sorry, I am rude. Thank you, Duke Edmund, your gift is so perfect that I was stunned by it."
Beside them, a noble girl had already whispered, "Oh my God, if someone proposed to me with a rose like this, I would be willing to marry him right away."
This unrestrained voice made Princess Calia blush all the way to her neck. She suddenly turned around and walked away: "Uh, sorry, I feel a little uncomfortable. I am sorry."
The nobles were left with their jaws dropped in shock. How could this be discomfort? It was clearly because the most dazzling pearl of Lordaeron, the Princess, had fallen in love with him! ?
At this moment, all the bigwigs present were shocked.
The situation seems to be a little delicate.
No king is a fool. Everyone can see that the Storm Kingdom is victorious even though it was defeated. It can maintain its vitality when the enemy is so disparate. Who is it relying on? fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Lothar is very good, but Lothar's excellence is still within the scope of human imagination.
Duke was different. He was not too young, but he was full of courage, wisdom, strategy, and strength. He bravely fought against the demon king Sargeras, burned orcs, and saved 50,000 elite soldiers with ice ships... If all of the above were just rumors, then Duke's promotion of the establishment of the Alliance after coming to Lordaeron would have really caught the attention of all the bigwigs.
Everyone knows that without Duke's intelligence and deductions, the alliance would not have been established so quickly.
Everyone knew that without Duke as a backup, the kings would not have made the promise so easily.
Perhaps without Duke, the alliance would still be formed and the troops would still be sent out.
But with Duke, this process has been accelerated by who knows how many times? !
Which one is the most urgent now?
Of course, it was the Storm Kingdom that lost its territory. Without Duke's management, the Storm Kingdom would only be left with a group of refugees and remnants of defeated soldiers. Even if the refugees survived, they would only be absorbed by the countries in the northern continent and become consumables in the war. The destruction of the Storm Kingdom was equivalent to a disguised war bonus for the other countries.
The Storm Kingdom, which is only an empty shell, will become a puppet and be subject to the involvement of various countries. How can it have the freedom that Lothar has now?
Even if the other seven nations all retreated, Lothar still had 50,000 elite soldiers to fight to the last. This was the confidence of having one's own people.
In the eyes of other kings, the Storm Kingdom, which had lost its territory, was full of treasures, and Duke was obviously the most precious treasure among them.
King Terenas stroked his long beard and suddenly felt that the combination of Duke and Calia was also a good choice.
King Terenas said, "Duke Edmund, our Lordaeron royal family will have a small banquet tomorrow night. Are you free?"
Facing the gaze of the King of Lordaeron, Duke shuddered slightly: It seems that I was too pretentious just now?
"Uh, sorry, I have to deal with more than eight hundred documents every day. There has been a backlog in the past few days." Duke looked very busy.
Who knew that Terenas' eyes would suddenly glow. Not only him, but several other kings were staring at Duke like hungry wolves.
Duke knew he had spoken out of turn again.
"Stormwind Kingdom is so lucky. My twelve cabinet ministers may not be able to handle 800 documents even if they work for a month." Terenas seemed to have found another reason to win over Duke.
A thousand horses were galloping through Duke's mind.
Yes! In terms of magic and strategy, he may have begun to mature. But whether in his past life or this life, his political sensitivity is zero.
Duke decided to play dumb. After a round of greetings, Duke was pulled away by Llane.
On a terrace, with the door closed to block out the noise of the banquet, the king, who had been wise most of the time, looked a little lonely.
"Duke... Actually, I want to say that I am very grateful to you. Without your arrangement, I might have died long ago, and most of the soldiers and civilians in Stormwind City would have died in the city. There would be no alliance today."
"Uh, Your Majesty, wait, are you..."
"Listen to me. You are an extremely talented person. To be honest, I always thought I could give you everything you wanted, but it turns out I was wrong. The Stormwind Kingdom is too weak. If you think that joining another kingdom is a better choice, I will bless you..."
"Wait! Your Majesty! Wait! Did you get something wrong? I never thought about leaving Stormwind Kingdom!" Duke interrupted Llane as he felt something was wrong the more he listened.
"But that is an invitation from the maritime power Kul Tiras and the number one power Lordaeron!?" In Llane's eyes, the Stormwind Kingdom was just a broken ship at this moment.
What a joke, I just got on the best ship and now the captain tells me to jump off?
Only Duke knew that after a period of time, all of the seven human kingdoms, except the Storm Kingdom, were either destroyed or devastated.
Duke was totally unable to remain calm. He knelt on one knee and said, "Although I am not a citizen of Stormwind Kingdom by birth, I like Stormwind Kingdom. Here, I have a majesty who trusts me and a commander who is willing to cooperate with me. Only here can I give full play to my strengths. Your Majesty, if you still don't believe it, you should at least believe in your deceased friend Medivh."
"Medivh?" Llane was in a trance when he suddenly heard his friend's name.
"Yes! You can view Karazhan as a legacy, or you can view it as a transaction. Medivh gave me Karazhan and a direct passage to the supreme throne of the mysterious world. As a price, I am willing to pay. I also have the obligation to protect the Kingdom of Stormwind. So your majesty, don't think too much. Even if I marry a noble lady, there will only be one more Duchess of Karazhan, not one more prince of a certain country."
Hearing this, Llane finally felt relieved.
At this time, Lothar came with the Archbishop of Holy Light, Faol. Lothar quietly opened the glass lattice door of the terrace, and Duke went to open the door.
"Archbishop Alonsus has something to tell us."
Alonsus walked over and smiled. "I won't take up too much of your time, but I think what I do will be of great help to you and the entire Alliance. First of all, Stormwind Kingdom is just. The Church of Holy Light will not only provide support to the Alliance, but after defeating the orcs, the church will raise funds among its believers to support the reconstruction of Stormwind Kingdom."
This sentence is very meaningful.
Llane's Stormwind Kingdom has almost lost its source of funding, and every bit of support is precious.
"Thank you, Father." Llane bowed slightly.
"The second thing, and the most important one, is that I discovered a new way to use Holy Light. It's a very important way to use it."
