Chapter 726 Duke Ate a Whale
Seeing that Calia was finally as light as a feather, but to Lordaeron it was as heavy as a stone, she nodded.
The people of Lordaeron rejoiced.
"Long live!"
"Long live Her Majesty the Queen!"
Next, of course, Mograine and other ministers ushered Kaliya to the throne.
There is an episode here. Under Kalia's magical [Powerful Healing Technique], Merlef's injury actually stopped deteriorating. Perhaps the royal guard chief of Lordaeron is destined to be a useless person for the rest of his life. , at least one life was saved.
And his testimony is bound to further confirm Kalia's identity.
Duke stood at the outermost edge and sighed secretly.
For Kalia, it is indeed a bit bad to ask her to give up her free life. However, perhaps this is also the fate of those who belong to the royal family.
After all, Kalia's life trajectory has been completely different.
The original Kalia was under house arrest for more than ten years after she could not get married, until she went to Alsace to commit patricide. It is conceivable that even if the kind-hearted Kallia is not full of resentment, she has no good impression of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. That's why she has been living in seclusion after escaping the city of Lordaeron, allowing the remaining forces of the Kingdom of Lordaeron to act independently.
Later, when the Scourge invaded Azeroth, the middle-aged Kaliya came out as a Discipline Priest again.
Seeing that Kalia was still looking at her frequently even though she was sitting in a high position, Duke felt strange: Kalia, are you telling Mograine that I am the mastermind behind the queen?
At this time, the hateful Ilucia whispered: "Duke! I just want to see how you end up. The people of Lordaeron will definitely force you to marry Kaliya. I don't know what His Majesty Daelin thinks of you."
"Dailin? What's the matter with Dailin?" Duke asked curiously.
Ilucia said something that shocked Duke: "Duke, don't you know? You are still Jaina Proudmoore's fiancé!"
"Scared!??" Duke was stunned!
Du was almost scared to death on the spot.
He almost subconsciously stretched out his hands and held Ilucia's smooth arms firmly: "Ilucia, don't talk nonsense. The so-called engagement between Jaina and I is not until Jaina is twenty." Is it over at the age of one?”
Ilucia smiled like a flower, and her little proud expression was full of cunning. For a moment, Duke almost thought he was facing a fox.
"It was originally like this. But women are very fickle creatures! Ten years after the Dark Portal after the Alliance officially declared you a war dead, King Garin Trollbane wanted to marry Jaina. Ah! Yes, shortly after you disappeared, His Majesty Solas was assassinated by the Stonefist Ogre, and His Majesty Galin succeeded to the throne."
Duke's eyes were sharp.
Damn it, it’s actually Garin?
It’s true that Garin Trollbane is a prince with a good reputation. But compared to his great hero Solas, he is a scumbag. Compared with Danath Trollbane, who was born as a militia captain and was actually Thoras's nephew, he was even more the scum of scum.
Others don’t know, but how could they hide it from Duke, a time traveler! ?
Many of the powerful people in Azeroth become stronger and more evil as they age. If nothing serious happens, now that the average life expectancy has dropped to more than 20 years due to war, a strong human like Solas can live to be 60 or 70 years old and still come out to tear up ogres with his hands.
What's more, Trollbane's name originally meant [Troll Slayer]!
If the bastard Jialin hadn't attacked his father, how could Solas have died so quickly! !
"Hey, it seems you still have some feelings for your fiancée!" Ilucia teased.
Duke's eyelids twitched, and then he defended: "It has nothing to do with Jaina. I'm just unhappy with that bastard Garin."
"Well, I don't like him either. He has made Stromgarde and even the entire Arathi Highlands into a mess. Now the once very famous Highland Knights have been abolished."
well! To actually kill a powerful man like Solas, this is really a disaster for the alliance.
At this time, Ilucia changed the subject back: "Anyway, Jaina is not willing to 'remarry'. It just so happens that His Majesty Daelin does not want to marry Lordaeron. As a result, the clever Princess Jaina simply used you as a guise to declare 'If you don't marry me, you will be a member of the Marcus family in life, and a ghost of the Marcus family in death.'"
Ilucia continued to smile evilly: "Of course, because the relationship between the Kingdom of Stormwind and Kul Tiras was very good at that time. Lord Lothar and His Majesty Dailin, the regents, were also happy to see this scene, so it was decided."
Duke's blood spurted out from his heart.
If it is paired with a funeral march, it can also be turned into a musical fountain.
A million grass and mud horses racing through my heart are not so painful.
If he said that Gianna loved him deeply, Duke was the first one not to believe it.
During the two years of training in Karazhan, Duke had already made his words clear. You can study with him, but you don't have to get married. When Gianna turns 20, get out. Marrying a cat or a dog has nothing to do with him.
Gianna is not the kind of woman who is happy to support her husband and raise children.
Both parties had originally negotiated.
Why is it happening now? ?
Duke has the heart to kill.
"Damn! If I want to marry Jaina, I might as well marry Kalia!" Du said something indiscriminately as he went crazy.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
Over there, Kalia, who was sitting in the top position, immediately pricked up her ears, and several old Mograine generals also turned their heads at the same time.
Kalia's face turned red on the spot, and her right index finger seemed to be unconsciously playing with the ends of her long hair hanging from her temples.
Of course, the old and mature generals of Lordaeron would not be stupid enough to question Duke on the spot, but the seeds have been planted in their hearts.
Duke... has a black line.
Duke waved his hand and pushed all these nonsense aside: "Okay, okay! Don't waste time! I've got the reasons and righteousness for you to fight. Now facing this battle that is about to sweep the entire world. The continent of Lordaeron is facing a huge crisis. Is anyone else talking about withdrawing from the Alliance?"
"No, no, no, unless Her Majesty the Queen announces her withdrawal from the alliance, we will still be soldiers of the alliance." Mograine quickly changed his tune.
Kalia is of course a die-hard supporter of Duke: "We will discuss the formal enthronement ceremony later. Now I give you an order in the name of the Queen of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and unconditionally obey the command of Commander Duke Marcus."
"Yes! My Majesty!" Mograine and others kowtowed deeply, and then Mograine turned to Duke and said: "His Excellency Anduin Lothar has withdrawn from the alliance command for many years. He was originally the highest military officer in the alliance. I should be the commander-in-chief, but now, Lord Marcus, you are more suitable than me."
"Okay! Leave it to me!" In such a critical moment when faced with the full-scale attack of the Scourge Legion, when commanding many people would be courting death, Duke took over the command without hesitation.
At this moment, a new report was suddenly received - the Scourge was attacking Dalaran.
