Chapter 1113: Valentine’s Day, Date?

When it comes to fighting, Duke can defeat all the nobles on the opposite side except a certain princess.

When it comes to talking, Duke thinks he can't lose to anyone on the other side.

Unfortunately, the most helpless thing in the world is that the referee is biased!

For the convenience of control, Varian, who had only a timid personality, became a mascot like a fool for a long time. Now in order to win in the aristocratic field, the Black Dragon Princess directly uses mental control.

Varian, who was sitting on the throne, said in his weak voice: "Dear Duke Marcus, I also want the Kingdom of Stormwind to become stronger and richer. Unfortunately, your views have shaken the entire kingdom. Ruling foundation, I cannot agree with you.”

"Your Majesty, I..." The actor Duke looked like he wanted to argue.

"Your Majesty Marcus! Who gave you the power to interrupt His Majesty's speech!" The Black Dragon Princess, who appeared to be Katrana, showed her power, and her speech immediately received loud support from the nobles.

Duke had no choice but to shut up with an aggrieved look.

The weak version of Varian continued: "The nobility is the cornerstone of the kingdom. If the cornerstone is destroyed, the kingdom will no longer exist. Your proposal to restrict the power of the nobility is an act of destroying the cornerstone. If I agree, I will have no one after my death. Go and see the late king and Uncle Anduin with dignity."

Hearing this, even though Duke knew that this guy was just a puppet, he just wanted to cover his face and spray Varian with saliva.

Damn it, I really want to show these nobles now why the flowers are so red.

By the way, I put this funny version of Varian on Ryan's grave and asked him to wake up.

However, for the sake of the plan, actor Duke could only pretend to be his grandson.

"Your Majesty!" Duke strengthened his tone.

As expected, Duke was ignored by the weak version of Varian, and he endorsed himself: "Marcus dear, I can understand your original intention of making our country prosperous and strong, but this time, I not only I want to veto your proposal. I will also reduce your territory as a warning. Please forgive me, Duke Marcus, I must set an example for the nobles in the world, a model - that is the natural royal power, and the power of the nobles is also An extension of royal power.”

As soon as these words came out, not only Duke was a little dazed, but also Bolvar, who had always remained neutral, was dumbfounded.

What is a slap in the face?

This is a slap in the face!

Generally speaking, the king has no right to reduce the fiefdom of his vassal without committing treason.

Duke is now proposing to reduce the power of the nobility, but Duke raised the issue publicly during the annual meeting based on conflicts in the field of domestic affairs.

This is definitely not considered treason. If the seal is reduced, it is definitely a bit much. Of course, it can barely be explained from the beginning.

The key is that Bolvar knew that this cowardly Varian was mentally controlled.

For a moment, even an honest man like Bolvar was about to lose his temper.

Duke's thoughts also changed rapidly. At his position, he was already no different from a king. But as long as he still recognizes his status as king and minister with the Wrynn family, he will inevitably be at an absolute disadvantage politically.

No, it should be said that in a sense, even if his territory is reduced by one square meter, it is a slap in the face.

The key now is how big Onyxia's appetite is.

If she had a small appetite and only wanted to create conflicts in the Kingdom of Stormwind, she could have asked Varian, the puppet, to announce that he would cut off all his fiefdoms.

This leaves Duke with only three options:

One is to jump out and reveal her true identity, and start the fight directly in Stormwind Fortress just like in history. This would be great, but the problem is that there is no way to punish the nobles who cheered for her, because there is a lack of key evidence.

Second, Duke pinched his nose and admitted it, but this would obviously have a huge impact on Duke's reputation.

Third, Duke directly rebelled and declared independence. If Duke didn't know that Katrana was the Black Dragon Princess, he might actually do this. If he still did this after knowing about it, that would definitely be the stupidest choice.

If she had a moderate appetite, she would just give Varian a token amount of Duke's territory minus one village. Using this as a compromise, she allowed her forces to invade Duke's territory and seek deeper penetration.

Of course, what Duke hopes most is that the Black Dragon Princess has a big appetite...

really!

Varian spoke: "I declare to take back all the Marcus family's territories in Elwynn Forest and Dusk Forest."

Almost in an instant, all aspects of life were presented in the meeting hall of Stormwind Fortress.

There is a surprise! There is anger! I don’t understand! There is confusion!

But what’s more is expectation——

The nobles were waiting for Duke's reaction to see what kind of reaction this great hero of the Alliance, who dominated the Stormwind Kingdom, would have.

Are the nobles afraid? Of course they were afraid. If Duke went on a rampage and massacred everyone here in a rage, they would have no place to cry.

But they were also expecting, longing, and hoping that if Duke bowed his head and continued to be his good minister, obligingly providing the kingdom with more wealth for them to squander, then this would be the most wonderful thing.

The human form of Onyxia cast a provocative look, and those eyes that clearly conveyed ridicule and intimidation were telling Duke - if you don't want to become the public enemy of the nobles in human society, just pinch your nose and admit it!

Duke!

Movie King Duke!

His face well explained the mood of a reformer who fell from the cloud of hope into the abyss of pain.

Is it the indisputable anger?

Or is it the sadness of being so passionate but unable to get any response from the master?

Everyone can imagine that underneath that excited and twitching face, there are deep rifts with his master Varian.

In the end, Duke lowered his head.

"Follow...order..." The two words seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth, weighing as much as ten thousand dollars.

The meeting ended, and the news that Duke Marcus had been reduced from the Kingdom of Stormwind exploded. It caused a tsunami in the league.

To the surprise of the Storm nobles, they were originally filled with joy, thinking that this victory would become a model for the alliance, causing nobles from various countries to jump out and impose heavy taxes on trains passing through their territories, but there was no disturbance.

In particular, the queens of various countries have publicly stated that if the Kingdom of Stormwind treats Duke unfairly, they are willing to set aside a large duchy in their kingdoms for Duke.

What caught the nobles even more unprepared was that, although as a prize in the political struggle, Varian, under the instruction of a certain dragon, allocated all the confiscated territories to the nobles who supported Duke this time, their incomes did not increase but fell. .

Because overnight, all trains stopped passing through their territory. All the train drivers, mainly dwarves, went on strike, and then dismantled the locomotives in the name of maintenance. The transportation of all the abundant daily necessities was stopped, and all luxury stores in Stormwind City related to the Marcus Chamber of Commerce refused to sell goods to conservative nobles.

To make matters worse, rumors spread that the nobles wanted to restore the "right of the first night" and the brutal rule of casually reducing the people to serfs, which directly led to the large-scale exodus of the people.

All of a sudden, the nobles were also blinded.

At this moment, Macaro, the old butler of the Marcus family, came to visit Countess Anresto and handed her a letter. The letter contained only one sentence: "Valentine's Day, do you want to date?"

Although everyone knows that this is not the case in the plot, let's make do with it.
