Duque was dumbfounded after hearing that.
Jail? Jail? Why would Aurelia go to jail?
There was no record of Aurelia ever going to jail.
What's going on?!
Duque's face was as gloomy as water. "Vanessa, Gavinrad, please leave for a moment."
"Your Excellency, we …" Gavinrad still wanted to persuade Duque. After all, in his eyes, the High Elves weren't very reliable.
"I insist!" Duque was resolute.
Vanessa had never seen Duque react so fiercely. She suddenly realized that this High Elf named Aurelia had an extraordinary place in Duque's heart.
Vanessa and Gavinrad left. They didn't go far. They were less than twenty meters away from the house, staring at the window quietly.
Cirvanas somersaulted into Duque's room. Cirvanas couldn't hide his surprise as he looked at the Hands of Magic that were scribbling documents all over the room.
But she soon focused her attention on the person in question, and she saw a pair of eyes that were full of remorse and remorse. They shouldn't be the eyes of a carefree 15-year-old boy. They were more like the eyes of someone who had been through vicissitudes and pain.
Cirvanas suddenly felt that she had come to the right place.
"Speak. I'm listening." It wasn't an order, but more like a plea. Sitting behind the desk, Duque clenched his fists and pressed the back of his fingers against his lips.
"That's because of a [High Elf Mage Apprentice Handbook]."
Duque's heart lurched, and his face darkened. He clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles turned white. His teeth bit his lips at some point, and the blood flowed into his mouth. It was salty.
Duque couldn't help but recall that everything started when he met Aurelia after he transmigrated to this world. If Aurelia had helped him drive the wild boar away, he could have easily dragged the carcass away. In that case, this letter containing the secret manual of the Arcane Fire Circuit that the Sun King had imparted to Kael 'thas was the key to Duque's true rise.
It was not an exaggeration to say that without this handbook, Duque could have become an outstanding mage. However, it was only Excellent. There was still a huge gap between the current Transcendents, who could easily defeat mages of the same level or higher.
Duque secretly compared it to other mages. Even those legendary mages like Krasus and Kel 'Thuzad, his [Arcane Fire Magic Circuit] was not inferior.
What did he rely on? Wasn't it just Aurelia's seemingly unintentional gift?
It was hard for Duque to say what kind of attitude and feelings he had towards Aurelia. But Duque definitely knew one thing that couldn't be erased — Aurelia was definitely his benefactor.
Now that Aurelia was in jail because of him … Duque almost went mad with anger.
Cirvanas did not seem to see Duke's reaction, and continued to tell his story in one breath. Queen Sylvanas, who was proud in front of the world in later generations, was now telling a slightly sad story in the tone of a little girl next door:
"Originally, it was purely an accident that this handbook fell into elder sister's hands. But elder sister didn't know that third sister, Sasha, had signed an agreement that forbade this handbook from being circulated to anyone outside the Windrunner family. Violators would be severely punished.
"Sasha forgot to tell elder sister about this. She only told elder sister to return this handbook to Prince Kael 'thas when she passed by the Dalajan. In fact, the prince wouldn't use this handbook. However, due to his adherence to the confidentiality of magic, the prince, who didn't receive the handbook, reported this matter to the kingdom. Later, this matter alarmed His Majesty, Sun King Anastrian.
"Originally, it wouldn't have been a problem even if an apprentice's handbook was lost. Even if there was a problem, with the power of the Windrunner family, it could be easily settled. The problem was that this handbook contained the secret of the Sunstrider Royal Family's arcane magic circuit.
"If this secret hadn't been cracked and used. Elder sister would still be fine. The problem was that there was a human youth who obtained this handbook and discovered this secret. He even used the arcane spell circuit training tutorial in this handbook to complete the basic construction of the arcane fire magic circuit in one step. "
"If this youth was an ordinary person, as long as the Cuel Salas Royal Family sent a Spell Breaker troop to destroy his magic circuit and stop the leakage of magic, then everything would be fine. Unfortunately, when this matter was discovered, the youth had already become an important minister of a human kingdom.
"After all, this matter was the High Elves' own fault. Moreover, the Sun King's secret possession of the magic circuit construction aroused strong dissatisfaction from the Silver Moon Council. So in the end, Elder sister was only sentenced to three months of imprisonment in the Black Prison.
"Perhaps you will think that three months is not long, but for the Windrunner who loves freedom and is naturally undisciplined, this is more painful than the death penalty. Elder sister wouldn't let any of us sisters tell you. But I still couldn't help it, because not long after Elder sister came out, she asked about you again. When she heard about your deeds and that you became the Alliance's Deputy Commander, Elder sister, who originally planned to come alone, used all her connections and mobilized the entire Windrunner family's elites to help.
"I don't know why Elder sister did this. But I only know that you owe Elder sister a lot of favors. I once suspected that you were Elder sister's lover in the human world, so I tested you when I got off the ship. "
At this point, Sylvanas shrugged a little dejectedly. "Well, I still don't know what the relationship between you two is, but if you harm Elder sister again, this time it will be the other three sisters who won't let you go."
After a long sigh, Duque opened his mouth. To Queen Sylvanas' surprise, Duque did not promise any compensation, nor did he make any oath. He just said something without rhyme or reason, "Time will eventually prove that I am lucky to know Aurelia. It is the Windrunner's luck that Aurelia knows me. "
Sylvanas tilted her head curiously, and then her figure flashed and disappeared into the gradually darkening sky.
The room fell into silence again.
After a long time, Duque suddenly said, "Sister Aurelia, shall we go out for a walk?"
The forest 30 meters behind the wooden house was also dead silent. After a full ten seconds, a faint response came from the forest.
"Okay!"
As the night fell, Duque and Aurelia walked side by side in a forest far away from the refugee camp and the military camp.
