Thousands of kilometers away, Kael 'thas seemed to sense something and suddenly felt a chill.
Carponia asked in concern, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing! I was just thinking that my father might be very unhappy to see this. " Kael 'thas smiled bitterly. Although he wanted to leave this place as soon as possible and escape from this political whirlpool, sometimes, he couldn't do it even if he wanted to.
Duque also wanted to help him escape, but unfortunately, Lor 'themar and the other higher-ups insisted that the official exit of the former king's representative would make Sylvanas' ascension more legitimate. This would certainly embarrass Kael 'thas, but the former prince accepted everything calmly.
This made Kael 'thas' supporters indignant.
Looking at the two queens sitting on their thrones on the stage, and Duque sitting between them like stars surrounding the moon, Solarian and the other elven experts felt an indescribable jealousy.
Alexandros Mograine and Lor 'themar Theron took the stage respectively and read out the policies that the new king would implement after ascending to the throne on behalf of their queens, receiving cheers from the people again and again. The more this happened, the more uncomfortable Kael 'thas' supporters felt.
The resentment in their hearts was stuck in their chests, and they couldn't vent it. Even Solarian, who was used to seeing the world and felt that she could bear all this mentally, forced herself to come to the venue, felt like she was going crazy. She was extremely glad that the two irascible fellows, Saladre and Sagunar, weren't here.
Suddenly, an unexpected person approached Kael 'thas. He was wearing a hood, but it didn't cover his face. In the cheering crowd, he seemed so out of place.
"Duque?!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Duke left the rostrum, the other side came over.
Kael 'thas was first stunned, then pleasantly surprised.
On such an occasion, it undoubtedly represented a rare and valuable support.
"There's no need to get up. We'll just sit and talk." Duque smiled.
Despite their dissatisfaction, Solarian and Carponia immediately stood up and gave up a chair for Duque. Duke took the responsibility and sat on Kael 'thas' right hand side, allowing the two Radiant Moon Astromancer beauties to serve on his side.
Sitting down, Duque spoke again, "The feeling of losing glory must be terrible, right?"
Duque was so straightforward that Caponia almost exploded, but Solarian, who was more composed, held her down.
Kael 'thas didn't suppress his emotions and allowed the pain to appear on his handsome face. "Yes, I used to think that I could bear all of this, but I realized that my temperament wasn't strong enough to bear such a heavy blow. I'm okay, but I'm afraid my followers will be a little unstable. "
"I won't say any more useless words of encouragement. I just want to say that all intelligent beings in this world will have a battle with Archerons, the commander of the Burning Legion. "
Duque's words made Kael 'thas suddenly agitated. He gripped the armrest of the chair tightly and turned half of his body around. "Duque, you mean …"
Duque lowered his voice and said in an extremely solemn tone, "If that day comes, will you join? When the time comes, I will go, Cirvanas will go, and Mograine will go. But let me say this first. That's Archerons with at least half of his strength! I can't guarantee that anyone, including me, will come back alive. "
It wasn't just Kael 'thas. Even the two beautiful Astromancers behind him were so excited that they couldn't stop trembling.
All the depression from before and the resentment that was heavy like a mountain had vanished without a trace at this moment.
Other than Duque, no one had ever been willing to truly understand the feelings of a group of "traitors" like them. They still loved their motherland from the bottom of their hearts, longed to save their compatriots from suffering, and were eager to wash away their shame and prove themselves to the world with glory!
But …
There was no chance!
They originally thought that going to the Door of Darkness would be equivalent to being exiled for a few years. At most, they would suffer a few years of disdain, and their situation would be better when they came back.
But now, Duque had given them a better shortcut!
How could they not be ecstatic?
Death?
For "traitors" like them, this was no longer the biggest concern.
In the end, it was the more cautious Solarian who bowed deeply to Duque and added, "I have a question. Before I ask, please forgive my narrow-mindedness, Your Excellency Marcus."
"Ask, I don't mind." Duque waved his hand.
Solarian uncontrollably rubbed her skirt along her thighs. "If Your Highness Kael 'thas joins us in the expedition against the Archerons, will we have an official identity?"
"Solarian!?" Kael 'thas was a little shocked and angry. He didn't expect his follower to ask such a question. In his imagination, he could be a hired thug. If he was lucky enough to come back alive, and Duque could be merciful and wash away the shame with him, then he would be endlessly grateful. Wasn't Solarian's question a disguised form of blackmail?!
Duque smiled. "Kael 'thas, I've always been like this. If others treat me with sincerity, I will treat them with sincerity. The expedition against a peerless expert like the Archerons is a matter of life and death to begin with. Every member who dares to join the expedition should be respected by the world. Therefore, as long as you join, it must be as an official. And at the expedition ceremony, Kael 'thas, you will be among the Alliance's generals. This is my promise! "
"Hiss …" The three elves all gasped.
They didn't know how to describe their feelings at all.
The fall of Cuel Salas and the destruction of Silvermoon City could not be attributed to Duque.
Kael 'thas had knelt down out of kinship, so it was hard for him to blame Duque for not coming out earlier. Duque had explained later that he was unable to gain control of the Sunwell branch, and that Duque did not have the capital to fight against the Sun King. After all, there were all kinds of strange things to be blamed. The Sun King could only blame himself for ruthlessly refusing to join the Alliance at the beginning, chasing away the Alliance Ambassador, Bolvar, and bowing down to evil in order to continue his existence.
But now, Duque had so generously opened the door and given them a chance to redeem themselves!
One had to know that for the smooth political transition, as someone close to Cirvanas, Duque should have nailed Kael 'thas to the pillar of shame instead of trying to whitewash Kael' thas.
Unable to suppress the excitement in her heart, Solarian actually knelt down on one knee and spoke in the elven language.
The general meaning of these words was that she had gauged the heart of a gentleman with her own mean measure, which was a serious insult to Duque's character. In order to protect Duque's reputation, as long as Kael 'thas could restore his reputation this time, she was willing to work like a slave for Duque.
At this moment, Duque was dumbfounded!
