Remember [New] in a second! Today's Quel'Thalas is no longer the actual dual system of the time when the Silvermoon Council was in power. After the traditional nobles died several times and were flattened, most of the power was returned to the royal family by Anasteria.

When Kael'thas came to power, relying on the foundation laid for him by the old king before he abdicated, the Sun King's authority grew day by day.

Unless Kael'thas made a major decision-making error, the cabinet has no right to forcibly reverse any of his decisions.

Of course, Kael'thas is not the kind of arbitrary tyrant.

Most of the time, he will still discuss state affairs with the cabinet, and only when there are long-standing differences of opinion, will he use his affirmative power as the king to make the final decision.

From this point of view, although the official position is almost the same as when he was the Speaker of the Silver Moon, the power held by the current Prime Minister Darkan has actually shrunk significantly.

As long as Kael'thas made up his mind, Sharlayan didn't think the cabinet would dismiss his written proposal in spite of face.

If that day really appears, it means that this guy Darkan has started to be dishonest again.

After talking about the deal with Fandral, Sharlayan naturally chatted with Kael'thas about the most noteworthy recent events.

Kael'thas: "Sharlayan, in your opinion, who will win the throne of Lordaeron in the end."

Sharlayan shook his head: "I don't dare to jump to conclusions. Although there is a slight gap in the military strength in the hands of the two sides, from the perspective of comprehensive strength in all aspects, they are still evenly matched."

"If this fight can be resolved peacefully in the end, it is more likely that Calia, who has won more support from civil servants, will take over."

"However, if the two sides are finally forced to fight each other, it will depend on the performance of the two major forces on the battlefield."

"besides…"

Sharlayan smiled meaningfully: "The bias of the Knights of the Silver Hand is also one of the key factors affecting the final outcome."

Kael'thas raised his eyebrows slightly unexpectedly: "Do you think the Silver Hand will still take sides in the end? Didn't they say to choose neutrality between the two sides and only be loyal to the country and the people?"

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Sharlayan's mouth: "Heh~ Just listen to this kind of words."

"It is true that Uther is a man of noble temperament, but he is now the head of the Silver Hand. He cannot make a decision based on his own enthusiasm, and needs to consider the comprehensive opinions of the entire knight order."

"Due to Alsace's increasingly rebellious behavior in recent years, many people in the Silver Hand are dissatisfied with Uther's teaching of Alsace."

"According to the intelligence sent back from the city of Lordaeron by Daniel Moonhunter, voices supporting Calia within the Silver Hand have gradually gained the upper hand. If it really comes time to choose, the impartial Uther is doomed It’s impossible to go against the will of the people.”

"The Silver Hand..."

Kael'thas relaxed his body and leaned back on the chair: "During the Second Orc War, this elite unit showed extremely strong fighting power and fighting will."

"In the folks of Lordaeron, the paladins of the Silver Hand have always been synonymous with justice, and have attracted countless children to join the Silver Hand as their lifelong aspirations."

"As the spiritual banner of Lordaeron in a certain sense, their choice may indeed determine the final outcome of the people's will and the battle for the throne."

Sharlayan added calmly: "Alsace is not stupid, he can't just watch an ace army that can guide public opinion fall to Calia."

"Just tens of minutes ago, Valeera received the latest information from Lordaeron."

"Alsace put on a gesture of rectifying his past mistakes, and personally came to the door to apologize to Uther for all his wild words and deeds in the past."

Kael'thas shook his head lightly: "At this point, can this kind of behavior with too obvious intentions really convince Uther who doesn't rub his eyes?"

Sharlayan smiled and spread his hands: "Of course the answer is no, Uther saw Alsace's insincere words at a glance."

"Uther's attitude hasn't changed because of this. He still stands on a neutral stance and doesn't intend to speak out for Alsace within the Knights."

Kael'thas smiled unsurprisingly: "This is in line with Uther's strict personality. I'm afraid Alsace, who has always been proud, will be furious?"

…

As Kael'thas said, Arthas, who was "corporate virtuous" failed, was furious in his bedroom.

"Who does he think he is! I have lowered my posture and admitted my mistake, why is he still unmoved?!"

The civil and military officials who chose to support Alsace were a little helpless for the irritable temper of the rebellious prince in his youth.

Some people secretly regretted in their hearts, annoyed that they might have chosen the wrong object of support, and Prince Alsace didn't look like a wise king no matter what.

At the same age, Varian Wrynn, who experienced his father's assassination and the disaster of destroying the country, had already matured. During the period of living in Lordaeron, Varian showed maturity and stability beyond his age.

As the saying goes, people compare themselves to others, and people are **** off. Compared with Varian who was almost the same age at that time, Arthas was too hip.

If there were no Varian jewels in front of them, Lordaeron's officials would be able to accept the young Prince Arthas' various performances, but... People are dead when compared with others, and goods are thrown away.

This is also the main reason why more than half of the civil servants chose to support Calia.

They couldn't imagine that if Lordaeron, which had begun to fall from its peak, had such an emotional king, what kind of weird direction the country's future would turn.

In contrast, Princess Calia's policy strategy is more stable and sustainable. Even if it cannot turn the tide and bring Lordaeron back to its peak, at least it will not make the situation worse.

When Alsace was incompetent and furious, at the princess bedroom at the other end of the palace, Princess Calia, who had become more dignified and steady in front of outsiders, was reading a letter with a smile on her face.

Ever since she became enlightened with the help of Sharlayan, Calia often thought of the high elf who helped her at the most critical moment.

As the saying goes, the icing on the cake is not as good as the timely delivery of charcoal.

As Calia gradually gained momentum, more and more Lordaeron officials, big and small, came to vote.

But in Calia's mind, the weight of these people is far inferior to that of the foreigner who reached out to her in her most desperate period and pulled her back from the edge of the abyss—Salayan Deep Shadow.

After all, the princess is different from the prince, and Jia Liya's bedroom does not allow any male foreign ministers to enter.

When Jia Liya was reading the letter with a smile on her face, several female officials looked in amazement at the youthful smile on the face of the maturing princess, who looked like a young girl.

They exchanged opinions with their eyes. Seeing that Calia had finally finished reading the short letter, one of the youngest women in Chinese clothes stood up bravely.

"Your Highness, what is this letter?"

When she put down the letter paper and turned her head, the smile on Calia's face faded quickly.

Although there is still a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but compared with the previous one, it can be clearly realized that this is just a formulaic business expression.

"It's nothing. It's just a routine greeting letter from a friend far away. It has nothing to do with the current situation. You don't have to care about it."

Now is the critical moment when the battle for the throne is about to be decided. Jia Liya doesn't want to disrupt the overall deployment because of her personal feelings.

After putting away some of the fluctuations in her heart, Calia quickly straightened her face and asked the young woman: "Lord Ansel, I heard that Alsace visited Sir Uther in person not long ago. What happened?"

The young woman known as Lord Ansel, whose full name is Rosemary Ansel, was one of Calia's best friends, and at the age of 16 inherited the royal family who died heroically in the Second War of the Orcs. Father's title.

In order to commend her father's achievements on the battlefield, Terena Stretch exempted Rosemary from the routine demotion that Rosemary should have had when inheriting the title, allowing her to retain the earl title and continue to serve Lordaeron.

Regardless of the young age of Earl Ansel, as the sole heir of a small family, she has received extremely strict training from her father since she was a child.

In terms of personal force, Earl Ansel, who has reached the high-level elite combat power, can only be defeated by veteran legendary powerhouses such as Uther, Mograine, and Dathrohan. He is definitely outstanding among the younger generation of officers. talent.

Whether it was due to political ideas or personal friendship with Calia, Earl Ansel did not hesitate to side with the princess.

After being a hero of Lordaeron, she couldn't just sit back and watch that immature "little kid" bring her beloved country into the quagmire.

Earl Ansel sneered and replied: "The result is obvious~lightnovelpub.net~Prince Alsace returned without success, and he is probably furious in his bedroom right now."

Calia did not criticize Earl Ansel's impolite attitude towards her younger brother, but just sighed with a wry smile: "Alsace...he really isn't ready to succeed the king."

"Suck ~ exhale ~"

After taking a deep breath, Calia closed her eyes and remained silent for a few seconds. When she opened her eyes again, her demeanor was significantly different from the gentleness before.

"We can't wait any longer. For the future of Lordaeron, we must quickly quell this internal turmoil that has made all countries laugh at each other."

"Lord Ansel, Lord Timara, Duke of Lorton, please inform everyone."

The three female nobles whose names were called all felt Calia's determination, and immediately stood upright in awe and waited for the order.

Jia Liya said word by word: "The plan is officially launched. Before Alsace has made up his mind, let's act first and try to end this internal strife with the least cost."

"Yes! Your will!"
