Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 373: Reunion with Lothar

"Well, good Holy Light, Calia, you passed."

"That..."

Duke smiled and said, "I received your kindness. I am not someone who is unreasonable or ignores a good wish. Do you want to get rid of this suffocating life in the palace?"

Get rid of this suffocating life?

In Calia's dark spiritual world, a blue thunder suddenly flashed, almost illuminating her entire soul.

right!

Suffocating life!

Even though countless people around you envy you, who knows the hardships and sufferings you have endured?

From childhood to adulthood, I received the most stringent training in palace etiquette. I was not allowed to smile with my teeth showing, I had to wave at a certain angle, every step I took had to conform to etiquette standards, my neck was straight, my eyes were level, and I had to wear a suffocating corset every day...

For the sake of your figure, no matter how delicious the food is, you can only eat a little bit.

"Calia, you are going to marry a future king. You must hold yourself to the strictest standards." The queen mother said this every day.

Living like a puppet every day, with various courses following one after another, being stared at by multiple eyes almost every hour, every minute, and every second. Have you ever had space and time that truly belongs to you?

Was I obsessed with Duke because I was simply obsessed with a hero, or was it because I was longing for that kind of security and freedom?

Calia's eyes suddenly turned red.

"I...can I really do that? Won't it cause trouble for you, Duke?"

For a second, Duke felt a little guilty, thinking that he was like a bad uncle who used a lollipop to seduce a little girl. But when he thought about the dirty things Terenas did after the Second Dark Gate War, and then thought about how it was Terenas who indulged the orcs and gave them the opportunity to rise again, Duke's guilt disappeared.

Anyway, there is a high probability that Lordaeron will still have to kneel. Instead of letting this innocent princess become homeless, it would be better for me, Duke, to be kind and adopt the homeless princess in advance... ahem!

Duke was righteously advocating the moral principles passed down by Medivh, with a look of holiness on his face that was even more holy than that of a paladin.

"Of course, Calia, everyone has the right to pursue freedom. If you spend your entire life like a puppet, bound by blood ties and rules, can you really say you've lived?"

Calia's defenses were completely broken down. She didn't even realize when she was so excited that she held Duke's hands with both hands. She didn't realize that from this angle, Duke could see the peak.

"Then my father, mother, and my younger brother..." Calia suddenly showed a trace of pain.

"With or without you, Arthas will be crowned king. Lordaeron will still be the most powerful kingdom in the world." Duke, who knew the direction of history, lied with his eyes open.

"That's true..." Thinking of the might of Lordaeron and her brother's outstanding qualities as a king, Calia suddenly felt relieved: "When will you take me away?"

"I am willing to take the risk to take you out of this cage and show you a wider world. But not now. The war between the Alliance and the Horde has not yet ended. I can't do anything to split the Alliance."

When she said this, the light in Calia's eyes dimmed. But Duke's next words made her eyes light up with hope again.

"The war will probably be over within this year, at the latest within a year."

"real!?"

"The one who lied to you was a puppy."

Princess Calia left contentedly. Duke also left. When leaving the palace, Duke caught a glimpse of Ilucia. When the family and the country were undergoing great changes, the eldest daughter of the Barov family still followed him with a humble look.

Duke sighed quietly. If he remembered correctly, when the war was over, Terenas would use the excuse that King Aiden Perenolde had colluded with the Horde and betrayed the Alliance, and attack the territory of Alterac as the leader of the Alliance...

As the one who brought about the Alliance, Terenas was extremely great in terms of fighting against the Horde. But this greatness was actually based on two aspects. One was that the threat from the Horde was indeed great enough; the other was that Terenas wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of foreign invasion to unify the seven human kingdoms and rebuild the new Arathor Empire with Lordaeron as its core.

Terenas' original intention was to expand Lordaeron's influence in the Alliance, but as the war progressed, that was no longer the case.

Silverpine Forest was destroyed, and soon Tirisfal Glades would also be affected. Now that Lordaeron City had almost fallen, King Terenas had no time to think about those things for the time being. When he recovered, he would probably have to face the tragic situation in his country and the pressure from the powerful noble alliance in his country.

Disaster relief costs money.

Rebuilding costs money.

People are starving.

The nobles are complaining.

The Alliance got almost nothing from defeating the outsider tribe. the Horde is a bunch of damn bachelors, with no money and no life.

The end of this war meant that most countries were destined to lick their wounds silently like wild beasts.

Even a strong country like Lordaeron would turn from a rich man to a poor man in an instant. Other countries would ignore Lordaeron because of practical difficulties. By then, it would be natural for a poor Lordaeron to want to attack Alterac.

Not to mention, Caer Darrow and Darrowshire, where the Barov family's fiefdom is located, border the territory of Lordaeron...

So convenient, and a perfect excuse. If not you, Alterac, who else should I eat?

Of course, this is looking at the problem from Lordaeron's perspective.

Duke was very unhappy. When the Alliance fought the Horde, everyone lost money and people died, and there was no benefit at all. Why was it that only Lordaeron's territory increased dramatically?

In his heart, Duke cursed: "Forget about Lordaeron playing the great power chauvinism. Since we are all the same kind of people, don't pretend to be saints. Wouldn't it be better to be more direct? Hehe! Terenas, if you are too greedy, I don't mind making you cry."

Now that he has traveled through time and knows the general direction of history, it would be foolish for Duke not to make any plans.

No one knew that Duke had made so many plans before the end of the war.

All people knew was that the diligent deputy commander-in-chief visited the leaders of several countries in succession and coordinated the troops of various countries again.

Then, the next day Lothar arrived. The brave Lothar arrived riding on a griffin.

"Duke--" Without any extra words, Lothar came up and gave Duke a bear hug, holding him tightly.

Thanks for your hard work.

Although Lothar's eyes were already wet, he didn't say it out loud. Then Llane came up, and the king and his subjects hugged each other tightly.
