"Hmm, not a bad Holy Light. Kalia, you pass."
"Then …"
Duque smiled, "I've received your kindness. I'm not an unreasonable person who ignores a good wish. Do you want to get rid of this suffocating life in the palace? "
Get rid of this suffocating life?
In Kalia's pitch-black mental world, a bolt of azure lightning suddenly flashed, almost illuminating her entire soul.
Yes!
A suffocating life!
Even though there were countless people around her who envied her, who knew the pain and suffering she had gone through?
Since she was young, she had received the strictest training in palace etiquette. She had to smile without showing her teeth, wave her hands to limit the angle, take every step according to etiquette, straighten her neck, level her eyes, and wear that suffocating corset every day …
For the sake of her figure, she could only eat a little, no matter how good the food was.
"Kalia, you're going to marry a future king. You must have the strictest requirements for yourself. "Mother said this every day.
She lived like a puppet every day, all kinds of lessons followed one after another. She had to be stared at every moment, every minute, and every second. When had she ever truly had her own space and time?
She was infatuated with Duque. Was she really infatuated with a hero? Or did she yearn for that kind of safety and freedom?
Kalia's eyes turned red in an instant.
"I … Can I really do it? Won't I bring trouble to you, Duque? "
For a second, Duque felt a little guilty, feeling like he was a bad uncle who used a lollipop to kidnap a little girl. But thinking of the despicable things that Terenas did after the Second War of the Dark Portal, and how Terenas allowed the Orcs to have a chance to rise again, Duque felt no more guilt.
Anyway, there was a high chance that Lordaeron would still have to kneel. Instead of letting this innocent princess become homeless, why not I, Duque, be kind and adopt the homeless princess in advance … Ahem!
Duque righteously encouraged the Medivh's moral integrity, his face full of holiness that was even more holy than a Paladin's.
"Yes, Caria. Everyone has the right to pursue freedom. If one is like a puppet for the rest of one's life, bound by bloodline and rules, can that still be considered as having truly lived? "
Kalia's defenses were completely shattered. She didn't even know when she was so excited that she held Duque's hand with both hands. She also didn't realize that from this angle, Duque could see the peak of the mountain.
"Then my father, mother, and my brother …" Kalia 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. "Duque, who knew the direction of history, lied through his teeth.
"That's true …" Thinking of the power of the Rotterdam and her brother's outstanding King's Potential, Kalia suddenly felt at ease. "Then, when will you take me away?"
"I'm willing to take the risk to bring you out of this cage and bring you to a wider world. But not now. The war between the Alliance and the Horde hasn't ended yet. I can't do anything to break the Alliance. "
At this point, the light in Kaliya's eyes dimmed. But Duque's next words ignited the light of hope in her eyes again.
"Within this year, the war will probably end. At the latest, within a year."
"Really!?"
"Only a puppy would lie to you."
Princess Karia left contentedly. Duque also left. As he left the palace, Duque glanced at Ilusia. Even when her family and country were facing great changes, this eldest daughter of the Barov Family still followed him obediently.
Duque quietly sighed. If he remembered correctly, when this war ended, Terenas would use the excuse that Eden Piraeus had colluded with the Horde and betrayed the Alliance. As the leader of the Alliance, Terenas would attack Alterac's territory …
As the leader of the Alliance, Terenas was extremely noble when it came to fighting against the Horde. But this greatness was actually based on two reasons. First, the threat of the Horde was indeed big enough. Second, Terenas wanted to take advantage of the invasion to unify the seven human kingdoms and rebuild the new Arathor Empire with Lordaeron as the core.
Terenas' original intention was to expand Lordaeron's influence in the Alliance. But as the war went on, that was not the case.
Silverpine Forest was destroyed, and soon Tirisfal Woodland would also be in trouble. Now that Lordaeron had almost fallen, King Terenas did not have the time to think about these things. When he could take a breather, he would probably have to face the tragic situation in his country and the pressure from the powerful Alliance of Nobles.
Disaster relief required money.
Reconstruction required money.
The people were starving.
The nobles were complaining.
Yet, the Alliance won against the Horde, an outsider, and gained almost nothing. The Horde were a bunch of damn bachelors. They didn't have money, they only had their lives.
After this war ended, most of the countries could only silently lick their wounds like beasts.
Even as strong as Lordaeron, they would go from rich to poor in an instant. The other countries did not care about Lordaeron because of practical difficulties. By then, it would be very natural for Lordaeron to want to attack Alterac.
Not to mention that the Barov Family's fief, Kaer Darrow and Darrowshire, bordered Lordaeron's territory …
It was so convenient and had a perfect excuse. If not Alterac, who would they eat?
Of course, this was from Lordaeron's point of view.
To Duque, he was very unhappy. When the Alliance fought against the Horde, every family lost money. There was no benefit at all. Why was Lordaeron the only one to gain territory?
In his heart, Duque scolded, "It's fine if Lordaeron is a big country. Since we're all the same, don't pretend to be a saint. Isn't it better to be more direct? Hehe! Terenas, if you're too ugly, I don't mind making you cry. "
Since he had transmigrated, and knew the general direction of history, Duque would be too stupid not to make arrangements.
No one knew that Duque had made so many arrangements before the end of the war.
They only knew that the diligent deputy commander visited the leaders of several countries to coordinate the troops again.
Then, on the second day, Lothar arrived. The brave Lothar arrived on a Gryphon.
"Duque —" Without saying anything else, Lothar came up and gave Duque a bear hug.
It's been hard on you.
Lothar did not say it out loud, but his eyes were already wet. Then, Laing came up too, and the two of them hugged each other tightly.
