At this moment, Duque smiled.
If it was Cirvanas, who was still a High Elf, he would definitely stick to his heart and move forward.
But Jaina was too smart and good at judging the situation. Before calculating victory, she would first calculate defeat. That was how people like her were described.
Her undying ambition drove her to be restless. On the other hand, she was also afraid of failure.
In a sense, this also meant that she could not be the real boss. Who had ever seen a boss who was overcautious and could still achieve great things?
According to the laws of horror anime or television series before Duque traveled to this world, people like her would not live to see the second episode.
Duque smiled. At this time, what Jaina needed was a little encouragement. Duque knew this, but he was angry and wanted to tease Jaina. "The Dalajan will definitely be rebuilt. In the future, Kirin Tor will be very important."
Jaina did not show any weakness. She tilted her head a little slyly and smiled. "I am already a Kirin Tor!"
Duque knew that Jaina would not be moved by what she already had, but he played dumb. "Then there is no problem."
He was up to no good. Jaina was not stupid.
Suddenly, Jaina opened her arms and hugged him.
Her movements were very slow. So slow that even if Duque was an ordinary person, he could have dodged a hundred times. But her eyes were telling Duque: If you don't let me hug you, I will regret it.
Duque gritted his teeth and let Jaina do as she pleased.
It would be a lie to say that he was not excited when a beauty hugged him.
Duque could clearly feel the roundness and softness of the two magic peaks.
It was different from the Windrunner sisters. This was another kind of extreme.
The elasticity of a female ranger that had been trained for a long time was not something an ordinary woman could have.
On the contrary, Jaina's soft, shapeshifting touch was something that even the Windrunner sisters could not learn! Even through the clothes, he could feel the smoothness.
This … this was definitely another kind of depravity!
Jaina Proudmoore! Are you sure you're not a succubus spy sent by the Burning Legion?
At this time, Jaina suddenly breathed into Duque's ear and said in a soft, sweet voice, "I … have a treasure that I have kept for 27 years. I have never let anyone touch it. No matter what happens, from the past, to the present, to the future, this treasure of mine will only be left for you. However, this treasure has a shelf life. I'm afraid that after 30 years, it will deteriorate and people will look down on it. So, can I trouble you to come and take it when you're in a good mood or have time within these two years? "
Holy shit!
There was actually such a mysterious treasure in this world!?
Moreover, it's a treasure that only belongs to me?
Damn, no way!
If I enter a treasure mountain and return empty-handed, then I am not Duque!
My honest and reliable husband!
A gentleman of honor, Du Moke!
How could he not happily accept such a treasure!?
Duque knew what Jaina was thinking. If she couldn't be his wife, then she could be his lover, right? With Duque as her backing, she would be much more at ease.
This wasn't Jaina playing Duque with an empty promise. As long as Duque was willing, the treasure would immediately be in his hands. And it was the kind of magical treasure that no one could take away once it was taken!
Thinking about it, Duque was speechless.
Unfortunately, the next moment, Duque came to his senses.
He had just been tricked by Queen Sylvanas a few minutes ago, so he deliberately changed the system elf's detection mode.
Then, at this moment, the system elf's red text prompt was: Detected a female human and a high elf near you, in [Listening] mode.
F * ck!
Listen to hell! If Vanessa, who was eavesdropping outside the door, reported it to Kalia, and then Queen Sylvanas would fly into a rage, and it would directly turn into a civil war in the Alliance!
All of a sudden, all of Duque's primitive impulses were gone.
He didn't know where to put his arm, but he finally hugged Jaina in a very proper posture. "I'm not such a heartless person. If someone treats me with sincerity, I will return the favor with sincerity. The Marcus Family's territory is quite large. Not to mention a Radiant Moon Wizard Tower, even a Breaking Dawn Wizard Tower wouldn't be a problem. "
Jaina was naturally willing to take away Jaina's treasure now. Firstly, it wasn't the right time, and secondly, that would put Duque at a disadvantage.
Unknowingly, the atmosphere had instead turned into a faint sense of warmth.
In a sense, it was also beyond Duque and Jaina's expectations. No one had thought that the atmosphere would become so subtle.
Was this considered above friends, but not yet lovers?
Jaina left with a satisfied expression.
Duque felt bitter.
Originally, he still had the fire that Jaina had stirred up. Who knew that not long after Jaina left, a female voice that was obviously jealous came in the wind.
"Oh, little brother Duque, I also have a magical treasure here. However, unlike the treasures of humans, the treasures of us High Elves have a long shelf life. I don't mind keeping it for a thousand or eight hundred years. You can go look for those treasures that have a short shelf life. Don't worry about me. "After saying that, the owner of the voice disappeared without giving Duque a chance to refute.
Duque almost choked to death!
The bitter Duque scratched his head and struck while the iron was hot to find Dellin. At first, the angry roars of King Dellin could be heard from Dellin's private cabin, but it quickly became silent.
At dawn, an announcement jointly issued by Duque and King Dellin spread to the upper echelons of the Alliance. It probably meant that the marriage between Duque and Jaina was not approved by Duque himself. Such a marriage alliance was no longer suitable, and both parties agreed to cancel the marriage amicably.
Duque compensated Kurtiras with a 36-page gift.
If it was during peacetime, this would definitely be an astronomical amount of compensation.
However, during the duration of the Battle of Calamity known as the Third Battle of the Dark Portal, many things were actually useless.
Money and luxuries were not as practical as a team of fully armed elite soldiers or a cart of uncontaminated food.
As for the news of Princess Jaina Proudmore forming an expeditionary force and opening a new safe harbor on the Kalimdor Continent on the other side of the Endless Ocean, it did not cause much of a reaction among the upper echelons of the Alliance. Instead, as Duque expected, it caused an enthusiastic response among the refugees of Gilnis and Stromgard.
At this time, Duque immediately had a headache because of the aftermath of the annulment of the marriage.
Duque had become a single dog, in theory.
However, what made Duque most unbearable was that bastard Mograine. He did not hesitate to let Abbendis use the Teleportation Portal to rush back to Silverymoon City to find out what was going on.
To put it nicely, he was asking about how to purify the Eastern Plaguelands and how to deal with the possible attack of the Scourge Army. In fact, he was here to promote his own queen!
Duque had a headache.
Fortunately, something saved Duque.
