Kalia's voice was not loud, but each word was like a needle, stabbing into Sylvanas's chest.
"If Duque had not saved me back then, then what awaited me would have been a full 13 years of house arrest. It would have been a hopeless, gloomy life. But what did Duque give me? Freedom! From birth until now, half of my life's worth of freedom! I can do whatever I want, go wherever I want, be it mountains or seas, or swamps or jungles. My three companions will accompany me, and do their best to ensure my safety! If this is also Duque's plot to capture my heart, then he has succeeded! I will have no regrets even if I have to sacrifice myself, or the entire Lordaeron! "
Freedom!
What a precious word.
If it were a High Elf, it would easily be a thousand years of imprisonment. For a Windrunner, he would probably commit suicide in a few years.
Sylvanas was extremely intelligent. Although she did not like to use her intelligence in politics and conspiracies, she had already vaguely understood why Kalia had sent a secret letter to find her, and wanted to talk to her face to face.
She gently put down the teacup of black tea, and placed her left elbow on the armrest of the chair. Her palm rested on her cheek, and she made an elegant and relaxed posture. "Well then, why do you insist on setting our ascension day on the same day? Are you forcing Duque to make a choice? "
Kalia laughed instead. "Like a lover asking for favours? Or are you putting the country on a scale and forcing Duque to weigh it? How is this possible … He has never been a man who would change his decisions because of power. If that was the case, he would have become my legal husband long before that so-called Lord of Presto. "
Sylvanas's beautiful eyes turned. "Then what do you mean?"
"If not for Duque, both Lordaeron and Cuel Salas would have been destroyed long ago. Since we both had our hearts set on the same man, even if Duque was unable to establish the next Arasuo Empire in the future, we should at least let Duque have an alliance where he could use his talents as he pleased. I plan to let the Rotterdam Kingdom give up their position as the leader of the alliance. Even so, I hope that Duque's resolution will get a majority of votes in the alliance. "
Sylvanas narrowed her eyes. "You mean that our two countries should advance and retreat together?"
Kalia said firmly, "Yes! From the military, to politics, to the economy, they advanced and retreated together in all aspects. If possible, I hope that Miss Illucia can rebuild Alterac. With the addition of the Dalajan, which is destined to be controlled by the Breaking Dawn Wizard Duque, and Stormwind, which has always supported Duque, we will have at least five votes. "
Cirvanas rubbed his eyebrows. Kalia had formed a harem alliance. As someone who had helped Duque guard his home for ten years, and her fourth sister had always followed Kalia, she obviously knew that Duque had been a gentleman to Kalia for thirteen years.
Yet it was like this. Even if Kalia was rejected by Duque emotionally, she still wanted to become Duque's hardcore supporter. This made Sylvanas a little speechless!
No matter what, the two neighboring countries had a common enemy and common interests. In addition, their leaders were all loyal to the same man. It would be unreasonable not to unite.
If they wanted to be jealous, they would have done so long ago. In any case, the three sisters would be by Duque's side in the future. This was an absolute advantage.
After thinking about it, Sylvanas sighed helplessly and stretched out his hand. "I can't think of any reason to refuse. Alright, we can only let that rascal Duque take advantage of it. "
Kalia smiled brightly. Two beautiful hands, two hands with the most power in the continent, were held together just like that. "Then, let us discuss the details of the coronation ceremony …"
On Duque's side, a completely dumbfounded Duque was pacing back and forth.
Lilas was careless, and did not know the key point at all.
Mograine smiled bitterly. Of course, he understood his queen's thoughts. Perhaps on a national level, even if the Rotterdam lost two-thirds of its territory, it would still be able to suppress the elves in terms of national power. In terms of relationships, Queen Kalia had not entered Duque's circle at all!
He subconsciously thought that the queen was messing around, and would definitely make Duque unhappy.
Didn't the dignified Princess Kurtiras's marriage break off just because Duque said so?
On the other side, William secretly asked Andoine, "Uncle, this is …"
Andoine rolled his eyes. "First, I'm not good at this kind of thing with women. Second, no outsider can save Duque from this kind of thing. So, let's just watch the show! "
William sighed along with him.
In the end, Duque had no choice but to secretly ask for Illucia's opinion.
However, Illucia smiled. "I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. Although Her Highness Kalia has become more opinionated after becoming an adult, they are not unreasonable people. "
Duque was exasperated. "Then what is this? Coronation on the same day? Both of them are treating me. Do you want me to rush to the venue, or do you want me to clone myself thousands of kilometers away? No matter what I do, it will be disrespectful to the other country! "
Illucia let out a clear laugh. She covered her mouth and laughed without saying a word. "Hahahaha!"
That night, a new piece of news came, shocking Duque and the other big shots of the Alliance.
Queen Kalia's coronation ceremony was not in the Holy City of Stratholme as everyone had imagined.
Queen Sylvanas's coronation ceremony was not in the ruins of Silvermoon City.
The reason why the two queens chose to coronate on the same day was that both countries had a common enemy — the Death Knight Arthas and the Scourge Army!
In order to rebuild the kingdom and work together in the post-alliance era, the two queens jointly decided to hold the coronation ceremony on the 25th of September at the Salas Trail on the border between the two countries.
In a sense, as a big country, Rotterdam had made more concessions. Silvermoon City had become history, and the reconstruction of the new Silvermoon City was still far away, but Stratholme was still there. Moreover, the power of the two countries was disproportionate. Even though they were facing a disaster now, Rotterdam still had more than a million soldiers and civilians in the Eastern Plaguelands. And Cuel Salas only had a little more than 100,000 Elves left.
But Queen Kalia was determined to do it.
Unable to convince Kalia, Mograine and the others could only pinch their noses and accept it.
Time flew, and the day arrived in the blink of an eye.
When Duque arrived at the scene, he was a little dumbfounded.
Miraculously, there were two coronation thrones, or rather, half of a country. This was because the southern half of the rank-nine throne had the typical Rotterdam style, luxurious and exaggerated.
Although the northern half also had the gorgeous artistic style of the High Elves, because the queen was a Ranger, there were many more elements of the forest.
Frankly speaking, these two combinations looked neither fish nor fowl when looked at together.
Unfortunately, all of this was not the main point. You put a chair in between the two queens' thrones. What are you trying to do!?
Duque … was under a lot of pressure!
