In fact, in late November, when the news came from the south that the battle had been won and that the Dark Gate had been completely closed, the entire northern continent, Lordaeron, was boiling. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is not just about the boiling at the level of the people, but also at the political level.

In almost all the major cities of the northern continent, a large number of special convoys suddenly appeared overnight. The emblems hanging on the convoy were bigger than the other, and those were envoys sent by dignitaries from various countries.

Yes, the war is over, but how to divide the spoils after the war is the key point among the points.

The Battle of the Dark Gate, the destruction it brought about swept the entire Eastern Kingdom continent, and the destruction at all levels of politics, military, and people's livelihood was quite amazing.

On November 27, in Kelldalon, Illusia, who had asked Duke for leave to visit her family, met her long-lost father. To Illusia's surprise, her father's cronies took her directly to her father's study.

It was where the Duke went about his day-to-day work.

It was loaded with the top secrets of the Barov family, and even if she was the daughter of the Barov family, she was never allowed to enter there.

She saw her father. Although the Duke had a lot of gray hair on his head, he hugged Illucia affectionately, which made Illusia feel a long-lost touch: Father, how many years have you not hugged me?

It's not unusual for Illusia to see her mother, and as an academic mage, it's even more difficult for her mother to come across the lab when she rarely steps out of the research room throughout the year.

Immediately afterward, passing through the study where the files and papers were neatly arranged, Illusia was slightly frightened because her father had opened the door to a secret room without knowing what he had done to him.

Her mother had said that this was the most private of her father's reception rooms, and that even the king had never entered.

Duke Barov opened a dark underground passage, and when Illusia hesitated to take a step, her father grabbed her hand, and before she could react, there was a psychedelic sensation of phantom magic.

When she came back to her senses, she found herself outside the porch of a small hall. Illusia didn't know where it was, but intuitively decided that it was a small room embedded deep in the belly of the mountain.

Opening the luxurious door and following her father inside, she saw the famous General Haas.

"Hello, General Haas!" Illusia was stunned for a moment. A good tutor made her react immediately, and her well-honed etiquette made her ladylike etiquette impeccable.

Haas, the loyal and brave General Alterac, has short white hair and a typical Chinese face. Ever since the failure of King Aiden's rebellion, he has been leading the last remaining Knights of the Proud Mountain Eagle in Alterac to fight as best they can against the Horde.

It was a great regret for him that the last battle of Blackstone Mountain could not reach the front line, and he sighed in public more than once that he could not participate in the final battle.

It's just that......

Why is General Haas here?

"Illusia, I'm debating with your Uncle Haas how to maintain Alterac's independence under the threat of Lordaeron. ”

Lordaeron's Threat to Independence?

A series of uneasy nouns popped up, causing Illusia's heart to throb a few times.

Facing the blazing gazes of the two elders, Illusia knew that they were waiting for her reaction: "The situation is ...... Is it really that bad?"

"I know Terenus, and his apparent kindness doesn't hide his heroic nature. He will attack Alterac, and this is the only chance to make up for Lordaeron's losses in the war. There was a clear heaviness in General Haas's voice. It's hard to believe that this is an evaluation made by a pure martial artist.

Duke Barov said: "We have analyzed many situations, and the most ideal one is to let Illusia you be crowned Queen of Alterac!"

Coronation...... Queen!?

Illusia was so shocked that all the facial muscles on Qingli's face froze: "Hold ...... I'm sorry, I don't understand, why should I be a queen?"

"Child, do you like Duke?" another voice floated in from outside the doorway, and Illucia immediately recognized that it was her mother's voice.

Duke Barov and Haas were not surprised by Janice's arrival.

"Duke? Illusia lowered her head in panic, not daring to meet her mother's gaze.

"There is only one Duke in the league. Janice didn't give her daughter a chance to play dumb, and the graceful Duchess's smile was a little bitter: "Because, only Grand Duke Duke Marcus is the only one who can save Alterac from the fate of being annexed." And they hope to make you the queen of Alterac at the moment when the royal family of Alterac is cut off, so that you can have enough status to marry Duke. ”

Duke Barov answered: "I know that Queen Alterac is not rich in gold, but for a grand duke, it is just right. If the marriage is successful, then the Stormwind Kingdom will not all be withdrawn. With Duke's private soldiers, he will be forced to recognize Alterac's independence unless that old bastard of Tyrenus dares to risk going to war with us at the risk of splitting the entire alliance. ”

"No, I ......" Illusia subconsciously wanted to refuse, but was interrupted by her mother.

"Little Illusia, remember, when even our family couldn't protect you, whose knight threw the iron white glove in the face of that shameless man who wanted to dominate you?"

"Poof!" Illusia couldn't help but laugh.

That's right, it's Duke.

Recalling that scene, Illusia's heart suddenly warmed. It was a warmth she had never felt in her own family.

"Duke has ...... Miss Aurelia"

And Miss Winresa......

In fact, Illusia doesn't even know how to describe Duke's.

Duke Barov spoke: "It doesn't matter, many of the relationships between men and women in the high elves are messy, the important thing is that the human aristocratic world only recognizes marriages between human high nobles." ”

"But......" Illusia hesitated.

"Nothing but, now there is only one point, whether you want to marry Duke or not. And whether Duke is willing to marry you officially. ”

Mother's words made Illusia instantly like five thunderbolts, completely blinded there.

"We'll give you two days to think about it. ”

The high-level of the Barov family did not know at this time that in just two days, their plans were all useless.

While they were plotting to keep Alterac independent and convince Illusia, Duke, accompanied by Alexstrasa, secretly met with an existence that no one thought he would run to meet - the Bronze Dragon King Nozdorm. (To be continued.) )
