Although Dai Lin can be regarded as a man of both civil and military skills, he is not a king who specializes in government affairs. His talent is mainly focused on war.
But if you think that Dai Lin is a reckless man who doesn't understand political struggle, then you would be underestimating this meritorious king.
Noticing the look of astonishment on Sarlayan's face, Daelin lowered his head and chuckled twice.
"Don't be so surprised. How could I not pay attention to people who appear around Catherine frequently?"
"As you know, Priscilla, who has no official position and no position, has overstepped her authority to make state affairs decisions and is suspected of being a best friend interfering in politics. But... guess why I didn't take any action even though I knew about this?"
Sarlayan shook his head blankly, but Barrage made some bold guesses at this time.
【What the hell? Could it be that Lady Ashvane is from Daelin? 】
【ah? No, wasn't Daelin close friends with the late Lord Ashvane? So good at playing? 】
A special reminder here is that the Priscilla Ashvane that Sarlayan met was not the bloated rich woman in the impression of barrage netizens, but a beautiful lady who was not yet 30 years old.
In this regard, Shaduo netizens can only lament that time is really a butcher's knife, turning grapes purple and softening bananas.
Jaina had mentioned Lord Ashvane's wife to Sharlayan before.
The lady who inherited the title of Lord was not of high origin, she was just the daughter of a minor noble. However, she was not well-known before marrying Lord Ashvane and was very good at business affairs.
It is precisely for this reason that Lord Ashvane, the heir to the four major families of Kul Tiras, married Priscilla.
Facts have proved that he married the right person.
After Priscilla married into the Ashvane family, Ashvane, who was already in decline, quickly stabilized his position and revived himself by developing overseas trade. Under Priscilla's shrewd management, his income increased year after year. .
Dai Lin knew clearly that Priscilla was interfering in government affairs with the help of Queen Catherine, but he did not make any overreaction to this.
From Sarlayan's perspective, there are two possibilities for Daelin's unusual behavior.
One is to play the long game and catch the big fish, waiting until the opponent is fattened before taking action, uprooting the power group behind Lady Ashvane.
As for the second possibility, it is relatively simple.
Priscilla had been Delin's person from the beginning, and she made such bold moves with Delin's consent.
Sarlayan put aside the misdirection of the barrage for the time being and carefully analyzed the two possibilities.
Before Sarlayan could come to a conclusion, the straightforward Daelin gave a straightforward answer.
"You should have guessed, yes, Priscilla has been mine from the beginning."
"I know that Catherine is not the material to govern the country, so I specifically asked Priscilla to stay with Catherine to assist her. Otherwise, Boralus would have been in chaos during my expedition."
"I see."
Sarlayan's emotional intelligence is not low, and he did not further inquire about the relationship between Daelin and Priscilla.
...Besides, this kind of love affair is not uncommon among the nobles of the human kingdom. In a version mentioned by the barrage that has been banned, Dai Lin also has a high elf lover named Gina Jinjian. .
"Your Majesty Dai Lin, I have overstepped my bounds, please forgive me."
"What a transgression."
Dai Lin waved his hand cheerfully: "You reminded me out of good intentions. I'm not so ungrateful."
"In short, the matter of selling the boat has been decided. Priscilla will discuss the subsequent contact details with you in detail."
Sarlayan held his chest respectfully and bowed: "Thank you for your kindness. I plan to return to the country as soon as possible. There are still many things in the territory waiting for me to handle personally."
"Ha~ I've also heard some clues about this matter."
Dailin lit a cigar and took a puff, looking at Sarlayan with a half-smile: "Are you doing fishing law enforcement again? Those guys who are standing opposite you are really pitiful."
Sarlayan smiled noncommittally: "You can't blame me for that. Those who wish will take the bait."
"After that, I plan to make a trip to Dalaran and visit Princess Jaina. Is there anything your Majesty Daelin wants me to bring to her?"
Speaking of his precious daughter, Dai Lin immediately restrained his slightly arrogant sitting posture, straightened his back and looked straight at Sarlayan.
"Just in time, I heard that that brat from Arthas hasn't given up yet and is still stalking Jaina."
"That shameless guy Terenas has completely disregarded his face for his unrealistic dream."
"Salay'an, help me teach that idiot a lesson he will never forget, so that he will never dare to take advantage of Jaina again!"
"this……"
Sharlayan scratched his head in confusion: "I can only say that I will try my best. After all, it is not good to go too far towards the Crown Prince of Lordaeron."
…
After initially finalizing the intention to sell the ship, Saryan did not stay in Boralus.
Later, officials from the Ministry of Commerce will come to Boralus in person to discuss the details of purchasing warships with Lady Ashvane, who represents Daelin.
That afternoon, Sharlayan teleported back to Silvermoon City with Tinagosa, who had not had enough fun, and told Kael'thas what he had seen and learned from this outing.
The senior leaders of Quel'Thalas were not surprised by the outcome of the naval battle. What made them more concerned was the method used by Sarlayan to persuade the stubborn Daelin.
Thalayan told Kael'thas the details. As for whether the Sun King would tell these things to the Silver Moon Council, it was none of Thalayan's business.
After finishing his mission to Kul Tiras, Sarlayan hurriedly carried little Tina back to Unicorn Town.
After a period of preparation, the restless big fish were caught one after another.
Kael'thas gave Thalayan permission to act cheaply and take down those nobles who misbehaved on behalf of the Sun King.
With Kael'thas's golden words, Sarlayan immediately started to deal with the matter after returning to the territory.
He once again summoned more than 20 powerful nobles in the southern part of Yongge Forest, and ruthlessly uncovered those nobles who were trying to hide in the dark.
These arrested people were not hard-core, and they quickly gave in under Valeera's hard and soft torture, and agreed to identify their respective employers in public at the meeting.
This time, it was no longer Vereesa who represented the Windrunner family at the conference. The third sister of the Windrunner family had received an official transfer order from the Sun King and hurried to Crystalsong Forest in exchange for Sylvanas, who had been away fighting for a long time.
Oh yes, and Lalas.
At this time, Sylvanas, who was sitting on the left side of Sarlayan, had a cold face, and her sharp eyes scanned the faces of many nobles present, making some nobles who had ulterior motives sit on pins and needles.
Don't get me wrong, the so-called ulterior motives are not related to these scum who do business without money, but they have participated in the spread of the "foot-stepping lady" nickname before, or participated in fabricating the love story between her and Sarlayan.
Sylvanas was not as easy to talk to as Vereesa. She had just retired from the battlefield in the North, and she was so full of evil that just sitting there made people feel cold all over, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
Sharlayan looked at Sylvanas, who had a frosty face, speechlessly: "Ahem~ It's so bad, no one dares to speak if you act like this."
Sylvanas glanced sideways at Sharlayan, then stood up with a slight groan.
"Come on Lars."
"exist!"
Shocked by the fierce momentum of the second sister, Lalas responded loudly with a loud voice and stood upright as if he was still in the army.
"Hiss~"
As mentioned before, the diaphragm effect of this conference hall is very good.
Lylas's loud response echoed in the room, and many people subconsciously raised their hands to cover their ears.
Sylvanas also frowned in discomfort: "Why are you shouting so loudly? This is not a military place, so relax."
"Uh~Yes."
Sylvanas patted her younger brother hard on the shoulder: "I'm not very popular here, so you can represent the Windrunner family in the meeting."
"Remember, don't disgrace the family, otherwise even if I let you go, my mother will come from Silver Moon City and commit suicide herself."
"Ah this..."
Recalling Lelessa's devil training, Lalas's face turned a little blue, and he subconsciously shouted again: "I know! I must..."
Sylvanas: "Shut up!"
"yes……"
After watching Sylvanas leave the conference hall in high-heeled leather boots, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
Viscount Sangunar grinned and said in Sarlayan's ear: "After experiencing the baptism of this war, the momentum of the second lady Windrunner has become even more fierce and terrifying."
"Tsk! I think it's because I haven't been nourished for a long time, and I don't have my period..."
"cough!"
Sarlayan glanced at the nobleman who spoke freely and said: "Be careful, you also know Sylvanas's temper. If you don't want to be slapped, just keep your mouth shut."
The young noble had a stern look on his face, and glanced at Lalas with a concerned look on his face.
"Sorry, I made a mistake."
Sarlayan patted Lyras's back comfortingly and motioned for him to sit down.
"Okay, the meeting has officially begun."
"The first topic...how should we deal with these unruly guys? Please feel free to speak out."
