Remember you?!
The entire meeting hall was instantly filled with a low and rude commotion.
No one cared about this little bit of impoliteness.
To many nobles, this was definitely something that the Countess of Anristo could be proud of.
Just like the epic achievements of the legendary hero, Duke Marcus, in the aristocratic circle and even the commoners' daily conversations, if a lady was fancied by Duke, it could be regarded as a glory that could be bragged about for a lifetime.
Once upon a time, because countless noble ladies had tried to climb into Duque's bed when he was just an ordinary noble, many nobles envied and hated Duque and slandered Duque's sexual orientation.
Later, as Duque's female friends were exposed one by one, this group of nobles who were gossipy to death immediately changed the topic, and boasted that only women who could catch Duque's eye were the true top beauties in the world.
Just look, Jaina, Illucia, Kalia, the three Windrunner sisters — all those who were related to Duque were all famous super beauties.
Suddenly, Duque expressed interest in this new noble lady who had recently appeared in the circle of nobles in Stormwind. The nobles' soul of gossip was burning!
The female nobles were envious.
The male nobles were pounding their chests and stamping their feet because they felt that they had no advantage in front of the great hero and Grand Duke Duque!
Apart from boasting that they had a slight advantage in terms of appearance, they all lost by a wide margin …
Alright, this was just a small interlude.
Although Bolvar, who had long been standing beside William, frowned at Duque's somewhat frivolous behavior, it did not matter.
What happened next was the key.
This was because the person Duque wanted to see was the king of Stormwind. This scene made many of the Royal Faction rather nervous because Duque's power was too great.
King Laing had written more than one will before the war, appointing Andoine and Duque as regents for the young princes. The power of these two regents was beyond the imagination of outsiders.
"Andoine is my arm, and Duque is my brain. I trust them more than I trust myself. So, if they believe that my son does not have the right to be king, then they can choose another descendant of mine. If my bloodline is severed, then they have the right to hand over Stormwind to a more suitable person. "
They had the power to veto the Storm King – the power of these two regents was astonishing.
What was even rarer was the fact that he had obtained the unanimous approval of King and Queen Laing, as well as the approval of the high-ranking nobles of Stormwind.
At the end of the day, even Bolvar's position as the regent was actually given to him by Andoine.
Obviously, even though they were both old Storm nobles, Bolvar's prestige was far inferior to Andoine's. The most obvious example was that Varian's son was named Anduin Wrynn. And after this little prince was baptized in the Church of Holy Light, his Christian name was impressively Duma, the first two words of Duke Marcus.
Bolvar was also rather nervous now, because William … After his disappearance, he had become muddle-headed, just like a puppet.
It was obvious that William was not suitable to be a king in such a state.
If Duque announced that he was no longer a king, then Bolvar really could not find a reason to object.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Duque continued to move forward and arrived in front of the statue-like William, who was sitting foolishly on the throne.
Seeing the beads of sweat on Bolvar's forehead, Duque smiled calmly.
"Phew!" This smile made Bolvar, who represented the Knights, secretly heave a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Duque did not kneel down on one knee or even bow. Instead, he bowed to Queen Tiffany, who was sitting on the throne beside William.
This … This is …
After bowing, Duque raised his head and said in a clear voice, "My apologies! I will not bow to a soulless body. "
Queen Tiffany's face instantly turned pale. "William is just sick …"
The queen, who was supposed to have died in the riot of the Mason Brotherhood, was still fine because Van Cleef had followed Duque and Stormwind was not as chaotic as in history.
Duque shook his head and said loudly so that all the nobles could hear, "No! This is not a sickness! His Majesty William Wrynn's soul is not in his body. "
"Ah!"
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples. The commotion among the nobles could not be suppressed.
After his disappearance and recovery, William had been like a fool. Almost all the nobles thought that William had been hit in the head and was suffering from a concussion. Who knew that Duque would publicly say that William's soul was no longer in his body?
If someone else had said this, there would definitely have been a lot of doubts. However, Duque was the strongest person in the realm of mystery!
"What … What's going on?!" Bolvar was very agitated. He stepped forward and almost wanted to grab Duque's shirt to ask. Everyone knew that William's disappearance had nothing to do with Duque. At that time, everyone knew that Duque had gone to participate in Nozdormu's secret mission.
However, Duque suddenly said that William's soul was no longer in his body. This was obviously a huge conspiracy.
Duque shook his head. "I don't know. But I can confirm that this is a type of evil magic. "
"The Burning Legion or the Calamity Legion?" Bolvar lost his voice.
"No! If I have to say what it is, I'm afraid it's more like the methods of the Ancient Gods. "
"Then …"
"Don't worry, Bolvar. I have never thought of abolishing His Majesty William Wrynn. Because … "Suddenly, Duque's aura became very mysterious, and a torturous aura surged out." When I was floating in the river of time, I saw a fragment of William's glorious future! "
F * ck! Was it that ridiculous?
He even saw the future?
Alright, in theory, Duque had inherited it from Medivh. Medivh had already warned the various countries before the arrival of the Calamity Legion, which once again proved that Medivh was a torturous, no, a prophet.
Now that Duque actually said that William would be very powerful, it was really hard for everyone to refute him!
Duque turned his head and faced a large group of nobles. He raised his hands high and said, "I have always believed that humans are not born noble! If bloodline determines everything, then the great Anduin Lothar should be the ruler of the seven human countries, and not choose to end his own bloodline. "
Duque's sudden statement caught the nobles off guard. Everyone was wondering what Duque was trying to do.
Duque continued, "Whether a person is noble or not depends on his actions. Therefore, I think that His Majesty William, who has always been committed to building a better country and doing his best for the Alliance, is a competent king. Therefore, as the subjects of His Majesty, what we have to do is to build a greater country in Stormwind when His Majesty is not around. "
