Chapter 581 Queen Ilucia?

In fact, in late November, when the news came from the south that the battle had been won and the Portal of Darkness had been completely closed, the entire northern continent—the continent of Lordaeron, erupted.

This does not just refer to the boiling on the public level, but also on the political level.

In almost all major cities in the northern continent, a large number of special convoys suddenly appeared overnight. The emblems hanging on the convoy are bigger than the last, and those are 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.

The Great War at the Dark Portal swept across the entire Eastern Kingdom continent. The political, military, and people's livelihoods were devastated at every level.

On November 27, Ilucia, who asked Duke for leave to visit her relatives, met her long-lost father in Caer Dallon. To Ilucia's surprise, her father's cronies took her directly to her father's study.

That's where the duke works on a daily basis.

It contained the highest secrets of the Barov family, and even though 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 Ilucia affectionately, which made Ilucia feel a long-lost touch: Father, how many years have you not hugged me?

Ilucia didn't see her mother, which was not unusual. As an academic mage, it was even more difficult to meet her mother when she seldom stepped out of the research room all year round.

Immediately afterwards, passing through the study room where the files and documents were neatly arranged, Ilucia was slightly frightened, because her father opened the door of a secret room without knowing what he was playing with.

Her mother had said that this was the most private reception room her father had, and that even the king had never entered it.

Duke Barov opened a dark underground passage. When Ilucia was hesitating whether to take a step, her father grabbed her hand. Before she could react, there was a psychedelic feeling of phantom magic.

When she regained consciousness, she found herself outside the porch of a small hall. Ilucia didn't know where this was, but she just intuitively determined that it was a small room deeply embedded in the mountain.

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

"General Haas? Hello!" For the first moment, Ilucia was stunned. A good family education made her react immediately, and her refined etiquette standard made her ladylike manners impeccable.

Haas, the loyal and brave Alterac general, has short white hair and a typical Chinese character face. Since the failure of King Aiden's rebellion against the Alliance, he has been leading the only remaining Knights of the Pride Eagle in Alterac, fighting as much as possible on the front line against the Horde.

It is a great regret for him that he could not reach the front line in the last battle of Black Rock Mountain. He sighed in public more than once that he could not participate in the final battle.

only……

Why is General Haas here?

"Ilucia, your Uncle Haas and I are discussing how to maintain Alterac's independence under the threat of Lordaeron."

Lordaeron threat? independent?

A series of uneasy nouns came out, which made Ilucia's heart beat a few times.

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

"I know Terenas. His superficial benevolence cannot hide his heroic nature. He will attack Alterac. This is the only chance to make up for Lordaeron's losses in the war." Haas There was a clear heaviness in the general's voice. It's hard to believe that this is a purely military evaluation.

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

Crowned... Queen! ?

Ilucia was so shocked that all the facial muscles on her beautiful face froze: "Hold... sorry! I don't understand, why do you want me to be a queen?"

"Son, do you like Duke?" Another voice floated in from outside the door, and Ilucia immediately recognized that it was her mother's voice.

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

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

"There is only one Duke in the alliance." Janice didn't give her daughter a chance to play dumb, and the elegant and luxurious Duchess smiled a bit bitterly: "Because, only Grand Duke Marcus is the only one who can put Otto The one who saved Lanke from being annexed. And they hope that at the moment when the blood of the Alterac royal family is cut off, they will promote you as the queen of Alterac, so that you can have enough status to marry Duke. "

Duke Barov continued: "I know that Queen Alterac's gold content is not enough, but for a grand duke, it is just right. If the marriage is successful, then all the troops of the Stormwind Kingdom will not withdraw. Du Unless that old bastard Terenas dares to fight us at the risk of splitting the entire alliance, he can only be forced to recognize Alterac's independence."

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

"Little Ilucia, do you still remember when even our family could not protect you, whose knight threw the iron white gauntlet on the face of that shameless Lordaeron who wanted to occupy you?"

"Puff!" Ilucia couldn't help laughing out loud.

That's right, Duke.

Recalling that scene, Ilucia's heart suddenly felt warm. This is the warmth that she has never felt in her own family.

"Duke has already talked to Miss Aurelia..."

And Miss Veresa...

In fact, Ilucia didn't even know how to describe Duke's mess.

Duke Barov said, "It's not important. The relationships between men and women among high elves are often messy. The important thing is that the human aristocratic world only recognizes marriages between high-ranking human beings."

"But..." Ilucia was still extremely hesitant.

"Nothing but, now there is only one important point, whether you are willing to marry Duke. And whether Duke is willing to formally marry you."

Her mother's words made Ilucia instantly feel like a thunderbolt, completely blinded there.

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

The senior members of the Barov family didn't know at this time that in just two days, all their plans were useless.

And when they conspired to keep Alterac independent and persuade Ilucia, Duke, accompanied by Alexstrasza, secretly met with an existence that no one thought he would run to meet—Bronze Dragonlord Nozdormu.

The temperature dropped sharply today, and I...have a mild cold, so I can only say that I did my best.
