"Duque, don't talk nonsense!"
Mograine, who was born into a noble family, instinctively thought of things in a bad direction.
The nobles were very particular about bloodlines and bloodlines. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would not be recognized by the nobles. The Arathi bloodline had been around for more than 2,800 years, and the nobles were more or less related to each other by blood.
Even though the distance was negligible most of the time, they were still relatives. So, when a distant relative came to inherit the throne, the only thing the nobles could think of was that the king of another country was about to peacefully usurp the throne.
If King Terenas had just passed away, and Duque found a random person to come over and claim the throne, that would be the greatest insult to Mograine and the other loyal subjects.
Duque did not want to say it, but if he did not play this card, he would not be able to stop the decline of the Alliance.
Why was the Alliance often forced to ally with the Horde to fight against the Burning Legion?
Firstly, the Burning Legion was too strong, and they had to find allies. Even if they knew that the Horde was not that reliable in many ways, it was still ten thousand times better than the Alliance in despair and fighting alone.
Secondly, it was also because the Alliance was much weaker than it was in the beginning.
Not only had a few kingdoms been destroyed, but the most important thing was that the population had been greatly reduced.
If the Alliance could deal with the Burning Legion alone, there would be nothing for the Horde to do.
Duque held his forehead, then sighed deeply, and added, "It was Princess Kalia."
The Day of Triumph 13 years ago was a glorious day for the Alliance, because on that day, the Alliance and the four Dragon Aspects worked together to kill the evil dragon Deathwing, which had been the scourge of Azeroth for 10,000 years.
It was also a sad day for Lordaeron, because on that day, the beautiful and holy Princess Kalia of Lordaeron, who was like an angel in everyone's heart, had passed away.
Countless people of Lordaeron were saddened by this.
Suddenly, they heard that Princess Kalia was still alive.
This time, not only Mograine and the other generals, even the heavily injured Molev, cried out in shock.
"Impossible!" the two generals shouted.
"I saw it with my own eyes …" Molev also struggled and shouted.
Then, just a second later, the three of them shouted at the same time, "It was you, Duque!?"
Coincidentally, the person who was here right now was one of the witnesses who had participated in the meeting in the throne room on the Day of Triumph.
"I clearly remember that when I was covering His Majesty's retreat, it was you, Duque, who saved Her Highness!" Mograine was the first to speak.
"Duque, you bastard! Did you switch?!" Abbendis continued to imagine.
"Impossible, I saw Her Highness Kalia with my own eyes …" Molev screamed.
"Don't forget, this guy is the most powerful Illusionist in the world!" Mograine gritted his teeth.
Indeed, Duque has shown his talent in illusion more than once.
Molev's words pushed Duque to the top of the waves. "Wait! Then why was Your Highness's dress on that corpse? We can't be mistaken … "
Hehe! A dress!
Her Highness was wearing the dress that she had used to go on a blind date with the so-called Lord of Presto. How did it end up on a substitute's body?
If Princess Kalia was really still alive like Duque said, then there were only two possibilities.
One was that Duque was a beast. Back then, Duque had kidnapped the princess and stripped her clothes. Based on Duque's status, identity, and character, this possibility was very low.
Then it should be the second possibility — Duque was worse than a beast. Duque had long captured the princess' body and mind, and the princess had taken off her white dress and given it to Duque.
Duque felt even more wronged than Dou E in the face of the suspicious gazes around him. He wanted to see where the Yellow River was and whether he should jump in and wash himself.
I'm innocent!
I'm a righteous person!
I really didn't do anything to Kalia!
Duque was speechless!
Not only did the others look at him like this, even Illucia, who was beside him, was smirking. Duque was seriously considering whether to dig a hole or teleport away.
At this time, Mograine walked in front of Duque and placed his two bear-like hands on Duque's shoulders. "If you weren't the Duke Marcus who refused to be a king and was regarded as a hero by the Alliance and a saint by millions of people, I would definitely pull out my sword and kill you right now."
Mograine was right.
This was too much of a coincidence.
The prince of the largest kingdom in the Alliance, Lordaeron, had turned into a Death Knight and stabbed his father to death. Over here, Duque had made the only legitimate heir appear. If it was someone else doing this, it would definitely be seen as the biggest political conspiracy since the founding of the Seven Kingdoms.
However, Duque was full of 'righteousness'. His holy name and achievements were too dazzling!
Even Duque himself did not believe in his own moral integrity, but everyone did.
Mograine changed the topic naturally. "I believe that no one in Lordaeron will care about your motives and goals for harboring the princess. As long as you show us proof that the princess is still alive, you will be the greatest benefactor of the Lordaeron people. "
It was not just Mograine. Everyone else nodded in unison.
Princess Kalia was still alive. This was too important.
The bloodline of the Menethil Royal Family, which had ruled this land for 2,800 years, had not been severed. This was definitely the greatest comfort in the hearts of the Lordaeron officials. Princess Kalia would become a flag that would lead the people of Lordaeron, who had almost stepped into the endless abyss, to stand up again.
At this time, Duque turned his head and nodded at Illucia, who was beside him.
Illucia immediately began to cast a spell. Do not underestimate Illucia. In the ten years that Duque was not around, Illucia had already displayed the Boss-level talent that she should have in history and advanced to a Radiant Moon Mage. Opening a Teleportation Portal or something was not a problem.
Watching Illucia's graceful figure disappear into the Teleportation Portal, Duque did not move.
Before seeing Kalia, he was a hostage. Although Mograine was familiar with him, he would not be careless in such an important matter.
The generals of Lordaeron were not disappointed. In just a short three minutes, a beautiful and noble white-robed priest stepped through the Teleportation Portal and appeared in front of them.
"Your Highness Kalia!" For a moment, Mograine, Abbendis, and Molev could not control their emotions at all. In an instant, they let tears flow down their faces.
Her face had changed slightly, but she still had the familiar temperament. The graceful woman in front of them seemed to have walked out of a dust-covered memory.
Kalia had matured and become capable. The holy aura around her was many times denser.
However, after 13 long years, the generals who had seen Princess Kalia back then still recognized her at a glance.
