It was a grand celebration feast, attended by fewer than 1,000 guests. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, there weren't many people around Duke.

Because the terrifying deeds of retreating from the army were deliberately downplayed and weakened by the official, many local nobles who did not know the reason for it did not know whose credit it was for the nonsensical victory of the elves. And Duke is too big - the deputy commander of the alliance, and all the people under his command are kings. Theoretically, when Quel'Salas joins, the mages will also be available to Duke to use.

As a result, the weakest of those who dared to show their faces in front of Duke were either field lords or councilors.

Duke dealt with them with a formulaic smile.

It's just that Duke can instinctively feel the contempt in their bones. At first, one or two could be said to be misunderstandings, but in the end, even Kael'thas beside Duke had a bad face. Because more than one councillor couldn't help but want to test Duke with his mental power, as if he wanted to know how Duke could be able to mix up the position of deputy commander of the alliance with such a weak strength as the Morning Star Mage.

You must know that unless the elven star mage is of noble birth and old enough, he will not even be able to get a member of the Silver Moon Council.

Every guy who shot had his paws chopped off by Duke.

It's like rock-paper-scissors, no matter what form of mental power you have, Duke can directly find a way to overcome each other in less than a tenth of a second.

At this point, they began to look at Duke, who was too young from both a human and an elf perspective.

Duke's focus is on Aurelia.

With the help of the system sprites' voices filtered and amplified, Duke heard what the elves around Aurelia were saying.

"Niece Aurelia, I heard you're going to serve the human lord. Is it going to be knighted, and where is the fief determined?"

"Sister Aurelia, are you going to marry that Vice-Commander of the Alliance? I envy you so much......"

After listening to it for a while, Duke finally understood, this is a group of middle- and low-level elven nobles, and they are still a little related to the Windwalker family.

It is different from those upper-class aristocrats who are high up and have swollen faces and fat people. The hardest hit this time were the nobles whose fiefs were in the southern part of the Yongge Forest.

Forests that had not changed for millennia had been burned, and a large number of people had been killed, and it seemed that the royal family and members of Parliament, who had also suffered heavy losses, were not going to support them. Hard times ahead are to be expected.

Quel'Salas is also located in an awkward geographical position, occupying the northernmost part of the continent and bordering Lordaeron, the continent's most powerful human kingdom, to the south.

There is simply no room for territorial expansion.

If you can't survive, the people's minds will naturally change. They came to Aurelia's side to probe with a sense of luck.

Aurelia was embarrassed, in fact, she decided to mess with Duke, it was only a matter of the past few days. In the end, she didn't know what position he was in after the so-called transfer, and whether he had a title or not. Of course, she knew that Duke wouldn't give the sisters a cold shoulder, but she had been busy all these days, and that had happened......

Seeing Aurelia stunned, these relatives had different expressions: curious, expectant, smirk, perfunctory, and meaningful...... The most, it's not optimistic.

There has never been a precedent for knighthood of a foreign race in the human world.

It should be, it's also for human beings to fool and sell their lives, right?

At this time, Duke came, and there were still more than a dozen steps, and Duke opened his mouth and smiled: "Yo, my countess, you are here!"

Countess?

This honorable title, is it Aurelia's?

No matter what country it is, it can never be called a petty nobleman if it can be mixed up with the level of an earl.

At this time, a female elf asked jokingly, half-jokingly, half-seriously, "Your Excellency Grand Duke Marcus, Aurelia is the most beautiful and powerful ranger general of our Windranger family, and you can't despise her. Don't tell us, Aurelia won't be able to get a fief. ”

"How could it be! Aurelia is my most important person. Duke was not ambiguous, and in front of these long ears, he pulled out a certificate of territory, which was signed by King Lane and stamped with the royal fire.

Seeing that Duke's theoretical fiefdom was so huge, all the elves around him were shocked.

"Well, as you wish, by the way, this is the fief of my Countess of the East Elwyn Forest. Duke gently took Aurelia's hand with his left hand and circled the map with his right hand.

This lap didn't scare the elves to death.

According to the map, there are already more than 1,000 square kilometers of forest. What kind of county is this, it's too big to say it's a dukedom.

Aurelia turned out to be the on-the-ground duke of the human kingdom?

This news simply stirred up a thousand waves, if it weren't for the fact that the old territory of the Stormwind Kingdom was still in a state of fall, it is estimated that the elves would have exploded.

However, this is also hope!

Duke came softly, and left softly, leaving behind a full force and a group of more eager Windranger relatives.

Late in the evening, after the banquet, Duke returned to the State Guesthouse, only to find Gavinrad struggling near the door of his room.

This only means one thing, Aurelia is here.

The melodious sound of the harp was heard in the room, and the Ranger and the harp were the best combination, and the most flexible fingers were given by God, and the masterful fingering required to pluck the strings was as easy as eating and drinking.

However, unlike any previous Duke tune, the sound of the piano in the night is indeed melodious and delicate, but it seems to tell an endless sad story.

"Aurelia, what the hell is going on?"

Putting down the harp and gently walking up to Duke, Aurelia hugged Duke directly. Duke could clearly feel the rapidly expanding wetness coming from his shoulder.

"My parents died in battle. ”

A slight sentence is like a bolt from the blue to Duke, and according to Duke's memories of Aurelia's history, it was her youngest brother Lillas who should have died in battle. Now Lilath is fine, Duke has repeatedly confirmed before the banquet, who knows that it was her parents who died?

"Didn't I tell you to evacuate your relatives?" Duke's body trembled with Aurelia.

"Yes, they actually arrived in Silvermoon City earlier, but they went back without our sister's knowledge. As a Ranger Lord...... Aurelia choked: "I know, it's their duty and their glory, but I'm ...... But I just can't control myself...... Tonight, I was so uncomfortable that I was about to go crazy, but I had to pretend to be the most dignified and noble, and put on a smiling face to face the guests, and deal with the ...... of distant relatives who could not live on those days" (to be continued. )
