"Indeed! I can take William back directly and activate the next step of the plan to let William recover as soon as possible. If I can deal with the Black Dragon Princess, then the result will be that the great hero of the Alliance, Duke Marcus, has once again foiled the evil plot. Let's refresh my reputation that can't be upgraded. I've proven myself again, but what about Varian? "
Gianna was suddenly speechless.
Yes!
What about William?
Perhaps from now on, William would become the cowardly person in the eyes of the people, the 'little' king who couldn't even protect himself and needed the help of the older generation, Duque.
The people might say, "Ah! At the crucial moment, Sir Marcus is still reliable! " Then what? Would William, who was already in his twenties, once again play the role of the weak person who was protected under the wings of Duque and the other seniors?
Duque continued to explain his point of view, "History has proven to us time and time again that having a great teacher alone is not enough to produce a truly outstanding student. Take Arthas for example. Back then, he learned from Uther, the greatest Paladin in the entire Alliance. However, he, who had never experienced any setbacks and tribulations, was tempted by evil because of his stubbornness and prejudice. He made mistakes step by step, which led to the complete fall of his soul. At the end of the day, it was because he had never suffered before. His path had been too smooth. "
Gianna fell silent at the mention of Arthas.
Gianna had once looked forward to meeting Arthas. But fate had missed them, so they were only childhood friends.
Even so, Arthas's fall still touched her greatly.
She chose to listen quietly.
"A person cannot be tempered by good times. Blindly protecting him is actually harming him and not really doing it for his own good. " Duque sighed, "Facing the Calamity Army that can expand its army infinitely, the foundation of the Alliance is still too weak. It can't withstand any torment. We can't even give William a few thousand soldiers to torment. At most, we can let him feel the atmosphere of the battlefield. That's already the limit. "
"I've secretly checked. William is now in a strange state where his soul is split, but his body is being duplicated and split into two. It was rare that in this state, he could cast aside the aura of a king and experience life and death as an ordinary person. He could experience what friendship was, and he could taste the things that he could not learn while sitting on the throne. How could I possibly interrupt his growth? "
"If he can recover, this rare gladiator experience will become one of the most precious treasures in his life. Valeera and Broll would also become his most capable helpers in overcoming the obstacles in the future. This is also the best training for William that I can do for Laing and Andoine! "
Duque's words shook Jaina to the core.
She had never thought that Duque would put so much thought into it.
It could be said that it was because of Anduin Lothar and Laing Wrynn's trust that Duque could rise like a comet and become the brightest star in the sky.
Along the way, Duque, who had achieved success and almost controlled the entire Alliance, did not abandon Stormwind, which had nurtured him. Instead, he used this roundabout method to nurture a better and more outstanding king for Stormwind.
Putting oneself in someone else's shoes, one should repay kindness with kindness.
Indeed, this is the Duque that I'm infatuated with!
Jaina's heart was a little infatuated. Unfortunately, she and Duque were not the only ones here at the moment.
Duque's words were not for her to hear.
Five meters behind Duque, a figure bowed to Duque and said, "I admire your foresight and effort, Grand Duke. I will convey your words to Regent Fordragon. "
"Matthias Shaw, you just have to be careful not to let irrelevant people enter His Majesty Varian's trial field. Keep a distance of at least half a day from them, and pay special attention to Valila Sagunar. Her skills are not inferior to yours. "
Matthias was the head of Storm City's MI7, and the head of intelligence that had been deeply trusted by the Storm royal family ever since King Laing. This time, it was he who had been sent by Bolivar to oversee the affair.
On the surface, he reported directly to Bolvar, but someone as smart as Matthias, of course, knew who the real boss of Storm City was.
In front of Duque, he also knew that he could not become Duque's confidant, but he still meticulously completed every order from Duque.
This was good for him, for Bolvar, and for Stormwind.
After bowing his head and agreeing, Matthias' figure disappeared into thin air.
"Gianna, enough is enough with your acting. No king wants to be deceived or fooled. Once William arrives at Theramore, or if the people we sent to follow him are discovered, show yourself and tell William the truth. "
"Understood. And after that? "
"After that, it's time to prepare the Valentine's Day plan."
The Valentine's Day plan was, of course, a large-scale plan. If Duque did not say it, no one would have thought that Duque would do this. Of course, that was not Jaina's main point.
"Hmph! Back then, I thought that 'Valentine's Day' was specially set up for me. You even made me wait for you for a full ten years, from a young girl to an old lady! "Jaina put her hands on her hips, looking angry.
"Eh? Old lady? Where is that! " The bastard Duque made a gesture of looking into the distance, pretending not to see. "There is only an eternal beauty around me, the 18-year-old Queen Kurtiras who will not age. What old lady, I really don't see her! "
If Jaina was really the old princess who had waited for Duque for more than ten years and became an aunty … Jaina would probably really flip out.
Life was eternal, and age no longer had any meaning.
With eternal life, one's appearance and body would be fixed at the peak of the human body at 18 years old.
In the end, their appearance was getting older and older. In the past few years, Jaina and Ilucia even had to secretly put on makeup to make themselves look more mature.
Perhaps, this was also a kind of blissful worry.
He did not know how to continue lying in the future, but for the time being, Duque's remedial measures still made Jaina unable to be angry.
After a gentle kiss, Jaina left.
It was mid-January, and more news began to spread within the borders of Stormwind.
After nearly two weeks of discussion among the nobles, the nobles finally launched a counterattack against Duke under the leadership of Countess Katrana Anristo after Duke's promotion of the feudal lord's power.
After several meetings with King Varian, who was sitting in Stormwind Fortress like a fool, the muddle-headed King Varian suddenly announced that the nobles' fiefs were sacred and inviolable. If he wanted to weaken the power of the vassals, it would be a challenge to his and the entire human world's royal authority. He hoped that Duque would retract his decision, or else he would have to consider Duque's Grand Duke status.
