Chapter 65: Garin and Liam

In the Trollbane Palace, the newly crowned King of Stormgarde, Galen Trollbane, was talking with his guest, Liam Greymane, the Prince of Gilneas.

"You have changed, Galen, you have become strange to me, I can't believe it." Prince Liam sighed, the Galen he knew and the Galen now are completely different people, and in fact it is true.

Galen's heart skipped a beat. Prince Liam was a person who directly pointed out that he had changed. He quickly changed the subject and pretended to be unhurried and said, "You have changed too, Liam. The Liam Greymane I know has decided not to sit idly by and watch refugees seeking asylum being isolated outside the high walls and remain silent."

"Yes...we have all changed." The speaker did not mean it, but the listener took it to heart. Galen's words made Prince Liam feel pain in his heart.

Among the second-generation princes and princesses of the Alliance, each has its own characteristics. The most dazzling ones are Arthas, the prince of Lordaeron, Varian, the prince of Stormwind, and Jaina, the princess of Kul Tiras. Prince Liam and Galen can be said to be foils.

Liam Greymane is completely different from his father Genn Greymane. He is a prince who loves his people and is kind.

When the Scourge broke out, the refugees of Lordaeron fled south to the Greymane Wall to seek refuge in the Kingdom of Gilneas. As a result, King Genn Greymane refused to allow the refugees of Lordaeron to enter the Kingdom of Gilneas, leaving the refugees of Lordaeron to fend for themselves outside the Greymane Wall.

At that time, Prince Liam couldn't bear his father to do this, so he argued with reason, but it still had no effect in the face of his stubborn father Genn.

This is what Prince Liam is most reluctant to recall. He looked at the refugees whose country was destroyed and whose families were destroyed, but he could not help them.

Garin looked at Prince Liam for a long time without saying anything, and then realized that he had exposed someone's scars, so he patted Prince Liam on the shoulder and said, "Actually, I can understand you, Liam. When my father, King Solas, was still alive, I could only helplessly watch the decline of the Kingdom of Stormgarde."

The Kingdom of Gilneas also withdrew from the Alliance. Under the rule of Genn Greymane, it actually reached the peak of the Kingdom of Gilneas by closing the country to the outside world.

And the Kingdom of Stormgarde almost lost its qualifications as a kingdom under the rule of King Solas Trollbane...

"I am indeed the most useless one. Arthas, Varian, Jaina, and you, Garin, you are all better than me, but I am the only one who has been trapped in the ninth level and doing nothing." Prince Liam said in an extremely sad tone. What kind of contrast is this? Other princes and princesses of the same generation have successively broken through to the heroic level and have many achievements worth singing about, but what about him...Except for the Prince of Gilneas, there is nothing.

Listening to Prince Liam's inner monologue, Garin didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I actually envy you, Garin..." Prince Liam continued.

"It was also a battle with the Scourge. You commanded the army of the Kingdom of Stormgarde and defeated the Scourge, while I could only be a spectator, standing on the high wall of the Greymane Wall, watching the warriors of Gilgis fighting bloody battles."

Prince Liam thought many times that it would be great if he could break through to the heroic level like Garin and lead the warriors of the Kingdom of Gilneas to defeat the Scourge.

"If a young Arathi eagle is always under the shadow of his parents, he will never be able to learn to fly and hunt alone. After losing his parents' care, he must learn to fly and hunt, otherwise only death will await him."

The stubbornness and autocracy of the old King Genn Greymane of the Kingdom of Gilneas made Prince Liam live under the influence of King Genn. Even if he really broke through the heroic level, King Genn's character would not allow him to command the army of the Kingdom of Gilneas to fight against the Scourge.

Just like when the old king of Stormgarde, Thoras Trollbane, was still alive, no matter what Galin said, it was meaningless and could not be stopped.

Galin's words cheered up Prince Liam, and he quickly asked, "Galin, what do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything, I just told the truth, Liam, if you want to change everything, then you must first find your supporters. Without any supporters, you are just a prince with a title and can never do anything." Sometimes the princes and princesses are also sad. Although they have a prominent identity and status, they have no real power before the death of the old king. Even if they have revenge, they are powerless.

Garin looked at Prince Liam and said seriously, "Liam, if possible, I hope you are the king of Gilneas. Only you can change the current situation of the Kingdom of Gilneas. As long as we work together, we can change the entire Eastern Kingdom."

"Thank you, Garin, but who will support me... They are all close ministers of my father." Prince Liam really couldn't think of which important minister of the Kingdom of Gilneas would support him. They were all loyal to his father, King Genn.

Garin said mysteriously, "There is one person who may be able to do so. He has a very high reputation in the Kingdom of Gilneas and is very dissatisfied with King Genn's policies."

"Who is it?"

"Lord Darius Crowley."

The Kingdom of Gilneas has two heroes. The first is King Genn Greymane of the Kingdom of Gilneas, and the second is Lord Darius Crowley.

King Genn and Lord Darius were close friends and were known as the two heroes of Gilneas.

However, after the Second Orc War, King Genn and Lord Darius became enemies due to political conflicts.

Lord Darius opposed the Kingdom of Gilneas' withdrawal from the Alliance. At the same time, when King Genn built the Greymane Wall, he gave up part of the Silverpine Forest land belonging to the Kingdom of Gilneas, and most of Lord Darius's territory was outside the Greymane Wall.

When the Scourge broke out, Lord Darius advocated that the Kingdom of Gilneas should help fight the Scourge, but was still rejected. In desperation, Lord Darius sent the Gilneas Brigade loyal to him to help Jaina.

With the current historical development, Lord Darius will choose to start a civil war soon.

Garin spoke out Lord Darius, first to help Prince Liam find supporters, and second to save this foresighted lord from prison.

Prince Liam woke up as if from a dream, thinking about the recent quarrel between his father King Genn and Lord Darius in Gilneas.

Lord Darius's opinion was surprisingly consistent with his own. If he could get help from this man who was second only to his father in the Kingdom of Gilneas, Prince Liam's situation would be much better.
