When Sharlayan and Jaina entered the living room led by the maids of the palace, Calia had already settled her mood and put on a calm smile to welcome their visit.

"Grand Duke Deep Shadow and Councilor Proudmoore, welcome to Lordaeron, but do you have any state affairs to discuss?"

"Okay~ Sister Calia."

Seeing that the maids quickly closed the door of the heavy palace reception room, Jaina smiled and approached Calia and took her hand.

"There are no outsiders here. Don't be so serious. We are here for personal reasons. There is no state affairs to discuss. Take it easy."

"Speaking of which, your dark circles are very heavy, did you stay up late last night?"

Even under the cover of exquisite makeup, Jaina can still see the obvious dark circles on Calia's face, and her look is quite tired.

"Hey~ According to you, Sharlayan and Jaina, long time no see."

Looking at Jaina's fair face full of collagen, which was close at hand, Calia touched her cheek subconsciously, and sighed with a very complicated mood.

"I can't help it. My duty lies in the current Lordaeron. There are many things that need to be decided by me."

Sharlayan interrupted and said, "How can you be a king like you, let you do everything,

Calia smiled wryly and shook her head: "I also want to change the status quo. Recently, I am working hard to implement the cabinet system of Quel'Thalas, but... you also know that there are still many opposition parties in Lordaeron who are desperately holding back, and cannot be achieved overnight. ah."

Calia's superior position... Strictly speaking, it was a bit against the rules, because Terenas had clearly designated Alsace as the heir at that time.

After a long period of competition for the reserve position, Calia finally defeated the young and impulsive Alsace with a more mature and steady governing technique.

Later, Arthas joined the Scourge radically and tried to rely on the undead army to overthrow the Lordaeron regime, which also proved that the choice of the Lordaeron officials was correct at that time.

To this day, many Lordaeron nobles still have lingering fears.

They are very fortunate that they did not follow Alsace to rebel with all their heart. The opposition nobles who were ruthlessly murdered by him are still alive.

But even so, due to different political ideas, there are still some dignitaries in Lordaeron who are quite critical of Calia's conservative ruling policy, and have always voted against Calia's attempt to reform the political system.

Sharlayan had no interest in meddling in the internal affairs of other countries, but he appreciated Calia's determination to abandon the outdated system and insist on reform.

The political system of Lordaeron is a classic king-parliamentary dual system, which is essentially the most commonly used routine in feudal dynasties where the royal family and nobles rule the world together.

However, unlike Quel'Thalas back then, the center of power in the Kingdom of Lordaeron has always been in the hands of the king.

Theoretically, Lordaeron should be more suitable for implementing the king-based cabinet assistant system than Quel'Thalas, which has a large tail of domestic nobles.

However, due to the battle between the two kings that started between Calia and Alsace, the powerful nobles who stood in their respective teams took the opportunity to hold a lot of power and troops in their hands.

After the turmoil subsides, Jia Liya naturally wants to regain these rights that belong to the royal family, but those with vested interests will obviously not easily give up the cake that is already in their mouths.

At the same time, Quel'Thalas took advantage of the sharp reduction in the power of the nobles to complete the initial reforms. Seeing the prosperity of the neighboring countries, Calia would of course be tempted by the results of the reforms.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and Sharlayan believes that Calia, whom he personally taught, will be able to persuade the opposition to complete the reform sooner or later, but Sharlayan can't guarantee how long it will take.

【So, Jia Liya intentionally conveyed the signal through Luo Ning, and also planned to use the power of the powerful Grand Duke Deep Shadow to subdue the domestic opposition nobles? 】

[Abacus is well done, the Battle of Seamounts has only been over for less than a year, at this juncture, no one would dare to jump on Sharlayan's head to pretend to be coercive. 】

[If Jialia can achieve a nominal marriage with the Grand Duchy that belongs to Sharlayan as Little Xingxing said, she will be able to boldly carry out domestic reforms without worrying about anyone daring to jump out to act as a demon. 】

[Indeed, as long as the two parties reach this political marriage, if there is a rebellion in Lordaeron due to the implementation of reforms, in theory, Sharlayan can send troops to suppress it as the Prince of Lordaeron. 】

[Leaving aside the army that Sharlayan can control, just his personal strength... the top leaders of all countries are also clear about it, who dares to stand up to the strong and demigod-level powerhouse? Destroying an army by one person is no joke. 】

This time Sarlayan finally saw the rational analysis of the barrage, and he also believed that Calia, who had become more sophisticated in politics, might indeed have such a plan.

While chatting with her best friend Jaina, Calia glanced at Sharlayan with slightly resentful eyes from time to time.

Jaina, who saw everything in her eyes, had expected this, but she just didn't take the initiative to ask, and deliberately chatted with Calia in circles.

"Why…"

Sharlayan smiled wryly and shook his head: "Okay, I didn't say I wouldn't help you, but let's forget about the marriage. You know my family's situation...it's not suitable."

Jaina pursed her lips cryptically, watching Calia's expression change with interest.

After clearly getting the answer from Sarlayan, although she was prepared in her heart, Calia still looked a little sad.

But after all, she is the king of a country in Lordaeron, and she can't just care about her children's private affairs, so she quickly regained her spirits, looked at Sharlayan with piercing eyes and asked, "Then what do you mean?"

Sharlayan shrugged and said, "Send a signal to let everyone know that you and I have a deep friendship, so that those who are against the opposition will not dare to jump out and die."

Calia: "What's the specific plan?"

Sharlayan raised his right hand with a serious expression, mobilizing his own life source to gather in his palm.

Under the amazed gaze of Calia and the head maid, the potted plants used to decorate the scenery in the living room began to grow wildly.

This was not intentional by Sharlayan, it was just a side effect of the pure and huge life force escaping outward.

As the source of life continued to be exported, Sharlayan's face became a little pale.

When it was estimated that the recovery time would be exactly one year, Sharlayan stopped the source output, and suddenly teleported in front of Calia, and before she could react, separated the emerald green light ball full of life into the air. Press into her chest.

Calia: "This..."

When the head maid whose face changed color tried to call the guards, Calia subconsciously raised her hand to stop her movement, and slapped her seemingly innocent chest a few times with a surprised expression.

"Sharlayan, this is?"

"Huh~"

After outputting a large amount of life essence at one time, Sharlayan's expression was obviously a little weak, and he took a few breaths with the support of the worried Jaina before regaining his mobility.

"The unique blessing of life of the red dragon family."

Sharlayan, whose face was still a little pale, explained slowly: "This blessing will not cause immediate changes, it will slowly release vitality according to your physical condition, greatly strengthen your physical fitness, and prolong your limit lifespan. .”

"Oh, by the way, there is also the eternal youth that women probably care more about."

Calia: "!!"

The first half of Sharlayan's explanation was enough to make Calia feel joy and gratitude~lightnovelpub.net~ The additions that came to her mind made her complexion change drastically.

"Youth forever?!"

Jia Liya subconsciously touched the cheeks that had been marinated by cosmetics for a long time.

Although she is not yet 30 years old, due to her busy daily work and often staying up late, Calia is self-aware. Her skin condition is not optimistic, and it is far from being able to compare with Jaina who has just turned 20 and has always been pampered.

This is still compared with Jaina, who is also a human being, not to mention the long-lived high elves and dragons.

"This gift... is too expensive, right?"

Although Sarlayan said that the blessing would not take effect immediately, but whether it was due to psychological effects, Calia felt that her facial skin seemed to become smoother and more elastic.

"Your Majesty, your dark circles..."

Called by the head maid with a surprised face, Calia immediately picked up a mirror from the table.

From the bright and clean glass mirror, Jia Liya can clearly see that the dark circles under her eyes that were originally hanging on her face are gradually fading away.

Sarlayan said with a smile on his face, "Take it as a graduation gift from my teacher."

Jia Liya's ecstatic expression suddenly paused, and then sighed softly: "Teacher..."

Jaina angrily elbowed Salayan's waist. When Salayan turned her gaze to her in confusion, Jaina ignored him and left a deep impression on Calia. a hope.

"The blessing of life left by Sharlayan can extend your lifespan by at least 200 years. As for the future... our time is still long, so there is no need to rush, right? Sister Calia."

Sharlayan: '...Which side are you on? Aren't you afraid of being hung up and spanked by Valeera? '
