Chapter 209 Duke Is Sold

This sound even alarmed the queen and prince who were looking into the distance outside the new palace.

"Mother, is that Duke Marcus's cavalry? Why do I think Duke Marcus is more popular than my father?" Varian asked his mother in a slightly ignorant manner.

This question really shocked Bovar, who was accompanying him, into a cold sweat.

The queen smiled apologetically at Bolvar, and then educated the little prince: "Varian, you have to remember. Only those who make the people live a better life are the real heroes. From ancient times to the present, so many defeated Why are heroes of evil existence praised and remembered by people? The key is that they fought for the people."

"Fight for the people?"

"Yes! Protect the people and let the people live a happy life, so they are heroes. Duke Marcus not only defeated the demon king Sargeras, he also defeated the attack of the orcs many times, and saved countless people with his fleet. One hundred thousand citizens, and let all the citizens live a life of food and clothing. So Duke Marcus is now a hero in the hearts of the people." The queen encouraged the little prince earnestly.

"Why did I hear the servants below talking about the bad things about the father, saying that he is a king of subjugation, not a hero."

The queen didn't mind, but continued to induce Varian: "That's because the people blamed your father for the fall of Stormwind City. Never mind, Varian, one day, your father will take back Stormwind City, Re-be the great hero in your mind. Also, as a king, never be jealous of the achievements of your subjects. Just like before your Uncle Anduin was even more famous than your father, comparison is meaningless. Heroic The brilliance can never hide the glory of the king. Do you understand?"

"understood."

At this time, Duke's cavalry had already arrived outside the new Storm Palace.

The queen and the prince received Duke.

Duke didn't expect that the queen would say at the beginning: "Thank you, Duke. You are really outstanding. It's a pity that Varian doesn't have a sister, otherwise I will definitely let you marry the royal family."

That sentence nearly choked Duke to death. Although the royal family occasionally used marriages to win over their important ministers, Duke never thought that such a thing would happen to him.

Thankfully Varian has no sisters.

"Uh, well, I'm actually young... Don't look at me like this, I'm only 15 years old..." Duke hesitated.

Duke, too, feels he has been blessed with a blessing in disguise. Originally, the curse of Sargeras before he hit the street turned the young Khadgar into a little old man in history. But with Medivh's father's soul and Lothar's share, plus Medivh's counterattack came faster, he is just 'older' a few years old.

Not only did he look mature, after staying in Karazhan for a while, he also found that he had grown a lot taller. Now he is about 1.80 meters tall, just like a young man in his 20s.

This made it much easier for him to negotiate with foreign dignitaries. An underage teenager is not qualified to sit at the negotiating table. 18 years old is a watershed. Even if Duke is not actually 18 years old, but it looks like he is, the other party will feel much better.

However, the queen's words of marriage really scared Duke.

Is this feeding dog food to the single Wang who has been single for twenty years in the previous life?

"Haha, indeed. Strictly speaking, Varian should call you brother. Come on, Varian, call Duke Duke."

"Hi brother!" Varian called out very obediently.

In an instant, Duke's heart received 100,000 points of happiness. Nima, highly respected by the players in the previous life, is almost the representative of a generation of great men, Varian—Wa Wang actually called him brother.

Although Varian is just a gentleman now, King Wa is King Wa!

Duke was overwhelmed.

Seeing Duke's strange move, the queen and Duke Bolvar looked at each other and smiled.

"Duke, it's no wonder that you have just become a nobleman. Most nobles will have their parents or relatives arrange marriage partners before they are minors. It's a pity that the major families in the Stormwind Kingdom have suffered heavy losses, otherwise I will definitely miss you. Find a way to find a beautiful noble girl to be your wife."

Speaking of the word 'beautiful', for some reason Duke thought of Aurelia's pair of meat mountain monsters. Uh, well, at this point, Duke is evil.

It stands to reason that if you don't become a duke, there should be some kind of maid, harem, who can make you feel ashamed? Why am I still running around like a dog all day long.

Alas, it's all tears if I think about it!

"Uh, well, I'm really not in a hurry. There are too many things to do now. Your Majesty just sent me an important task. Your servant must complete this task first..." Duke said nonsense If so, he ran away.

Nima, arranged marriage!

Why would this matter fall on my head? What if you give me a crooked melon and split date? What if Aurelia wants to marry me?

Duke ran away while thinking.

The queen just thought it was funny: "Only in this kind of time will people think that Duke is still a teenager!"

Bolvar nodded with a smile.

"Yes, when things settle down a bit, Duke Duke's marriage must also be on our schedule. It is the king's business to work hard for the revival of the Stormwind Kingdom at the negotiating table. It is the king's business to strive for a better marriage for His Majesty the king. Help, that's what I do as queen. Varian is too young, Duke is just the right age."

Bolvar obviously did his homework: "This subject has also thought about this matter. Although I am a little sorry for Duke Duke, I did collect some information."

"Oh? Let me hear it?" The queen's eyes flickered, with a small smirk on her face.

Bovar gave the first candidate: "The one who is more suitable in age and status is Ilucia Barov, the daughter of Duke Barov's family."

The queen nodded slightly, and then said: "Well, marrying the Barov family can indeed solve our immediate problems. But it is not very ideal. First, it may touch the royal family of Alterac. Second, I think Duke's The achievement is more than that, and it is a bit unqualified to match him with a duke's daughter."

Bolvar immediately put forward the second candidate: "Actually, Duke Marcus is a mage with great prospects, and most of his industries are at sea. There is a very suitable candidate."

"who?"

"Princess Jaina Proudmoore, Princess of Kul Tiras, is only twelve years old and is studying magic in Dalaran."

"Her! That is indeed a very suitable target. If we want to counterattack Stormwind City in the future, we really cannot do without the help of Kul Tiras."

"However, she seems to be closer to Arthas, prince of Lordaeron, and Kael'thas, prince of Quel'Thalas* Sunstrider."

The queen frowned: "That's it, maybe we need to see the situation. Do you have any other recommendations?"

Bolvar shrugged: "If you don't consider the level of the Duke, then there is only His Majesty Menethil's beloved daughter, Her Highness Kalia, who is quite suitable at the age of 15."

Calm down, the heroine is not a prostitute Jaina. This just highlights the importance of the protagonist. do not think too much.
