The other councilors couldn't understand it. The old and wise Sun King understood most of it.
First of all, for both public and private reasons, there seemed to be nothing wrong with mobilizing the mages. To quote Cuel Salas, you can't possibly let Prince Kael 'thas work for you, Duque, right? Sun King immediately knew that the people Duque had taken away were all members of the Silver Moon Council!
There were mages on the Alliance's side, mages on the Horde's side, and also mysterious and evil sorcerers. No one could guarantee that no one would die in battle. When more councilors died, the Sun King would naturally have a way to fill the vacancies. At that time, the parliament would definitely not be a monolithic block, and there would be great opportunities.
Secondly, there were the Magic Crystals. Duque, of course, said that it was to make up for the consumption of the Alliance's mages in the magic war. But as for how to distribute the magic, the commander was the King of Warriors, Lothar, who only knew a little about magic. Wasn't it up to Duque, who was in charge of magic in the alliance?
Finally, there was the right to marry.
On the surface, it looked like Duque was doing this for his own selfish reasons. He might have a chance to marry Aurelia. However, the Sun King felt that it was not that simple.
The High Elves used to boast that their bloodline was nobler than the other races, and they were not allowed to marry openly. Most of the time, they only allowed those who wanted to marry a foreign race to leave their own race.
Now that Duque had broken this restriction, there must be a deeper meaning behind it. However, it was not something that the Sun King could understand.
In any case, Duque didn't make things difficult for the elves on the core issue that the elves were most concerned about. This was already Duque being merciful. After all the aid from the Alliance was specified within a limited time, the leaders of both sides officially signed.
That night, the Sunstrider royal family eagerly announced their decision to join the alliance to all their citizens, as well as all the terms transparently and openly.
Duque even swore to the elven citizens that the Alliance had not made any unreasonable demands. That was all.
Well, his personal request was actually more important.
From Duque's point of view, the Windrunner family was worth more than all of Cuel Salas. The tribe did not attack that night, so the Sun King decided to take advantage of this rare free time to hold a small party to celebrate joining the alliance.
Small only referred to the number of participants.
The specifications were still off the charts.
Almost all the big shots in Silvermoon City had come.
Melodious music, psychedelic lighting, and especially elf-style sweet wine …
In particular, when the marquises and duchesses deliberately showed off their curvaceous bodies in front of Duque, Duque deeply understood why people said that the upper class of the High Elves was rather decadent.
But then again, looking at the rosy cheeks, the delicate lips, the plump snow-white skin, and the towering twin peaks, Duke almost couldn't hold them in.
"Dear Host, these females are very much in line with your aesthetic standards, but for the sake of your safety and integrity, I must inform you that the four female High Elves with the surname Windrunner are watching you in a special way …"
"Shut up …"
After bickering with the system elf in his own mental world, Duque saw Kael 'thas coming over.
"Oh, that's rare. Duke, I thought you worked so hard to get father to approve the intermarriage because you wanted to get some benefits for yourself?" Kael 'thas and Duke didn't have any irreconcilable conflicts. It should be said that they didn't have any conflicts at all, so they were still considered friends in private.
Duque raised his exquisite crystal wine glass. "Alright, I admit that the beauties of the High Elves are definitely the most unique scenery I've seen in my life.
"For most High Elves, time is eternal, and only white scenery is left in the sky of history. So they seek excitement and novelty to tell themselves that they are still alive. "
As expected of the handsome prince who was known for being cultured and refined. Even his casual words were so philosophical and poetic.
Duque smiled. "Does that mean that the universe in which you are in is blurred, and everything is like a dream?"
Kael 'thas was slightly stunned. He did not expect Duque to be so cultured. After all, he had never talked to Duque in detail, and subconsciously felt that a 16-year-old youth from a commoner's background would not have good self-restraint.
Kael 'thas smiled subconsciously. "If this is a dream, then it's too bad. I hope this is just a slight low point in the long river of history. "
"Yes! This is indeed a low point for the High Elves, as an ally of the elves for 3,000 years. And as a good friend of yours, Kael 'thas, I should do my part to help you and the High Elves rise again. " Duque rarely boasted like this. Coupled with Duque's shocking achievements, this kind of empty promise seemed extra tempting.
Kael 'thas was unusually clear-headed. "Although I can't wait to see your heroism, Duque, before that, we have to at least wait for a new batch of soldiers to be trained!"
"It's fine. In five days at most, our armies will be able to converge, and then we can hunt together," Duque said mysteriously.
There were some things that could not be said openly. Kael 'thas was not sure what Duque had prepared. But one thing was certain, and that was that Duque had found the Sunstrider royal family and not the Silvermoon Council as a partner.
Finally getting rid of the wild bees and butterflies, it did not take Duque long to find Aurelia, who was drinking alone on a balcony not far from the banquet hall.
Her gorgeous long golden hair fluttered gently in the night wind. Her exquisite and flawless facial features were like a perfect work of art. Under her thin eyelashes, the pair of green eyes that he had just glimpsed were closed, but one could still feel the charm that sucked people in.
From a distance, her body was so slender that it seemed like porcelain that would shatter at a touch. She could not be considered the most perfect and beautiful. Purely from a delicate point of view, Aurelia even lost to Princess Kalia Menethil. But when he walked closer, he found that the long period of training made her figure easily outline a very sexy and wild beauty at any time.
After killing so many people, there was naturally a faint murderous aura. This aura naturally made Aurelia a special existence that most people could only look at from afar and not play with.
But to Duque, she exuded a breathtaking charm.
It was such a beautiful woman who seemed to have walked out of the legends of bards, a mixture of wild and noble beauty, who had an indescribable desolation on her face at this moment.
A gust of wind blew, and Aurelia turned her head, her green eyes staring at Duque.
"Do you know? Sometimes I wonder if I can continue to live in a dream called 'Supreme Glory of the High Elves' if I kill you, and I don't have to bear the pain of leaving my compatriots and country. "
