"Do you know where my dad is?"
Children are children, and Anduin doesn't understand national politics. Although he is wearing a crown and sitting on a throne, in essence, he is just a son who misses his father.
So when the conversation between the two parties broke down in the hall, the young king Anduin said something completely inappropriate to Mikaela, which made everyone present froze in place. Especially the previously aggressive Countess Katrana Presto was embarrassed on the spot and could only turn her head to look at the little king in the middle.
However, Anduin's childish eyes were always looking at Mikaela in front of him. For a son who missed his father, he hoped that his father would come back, but no one around him knew Varian's whereabouts, so Anduin had to place his hopes on outsiders.
"You asked the right person, Your Majesty the King."
Michaela, who was the first to react, immediately opened her mouth and replied: "I know where your father is."
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience exclaimed again.
Anduin immediately jumped off the throne, his eyes full of hope, and said, "Where is he?"
"etc!"
Countess Katlana Presto, who had already reacted, wanted to stop her, but it was too late. Michaela's words had already been spoken:
"Your father, His Majesty Varian Wrynn, is on Orkaz Island."
Anduin immediately walked towards Mikaela and said excitedly: "Take me quickly, I want to see my dad!"
"enough!"
Countess Katrana Presto, with quick eyes and quick hands, picked up Anduin from the ground, protected him in her arms, and stared at Mikaela with vicious eyes, as if the female dragon was protecting her. Cub.
Duke Bolvar, who was on the side, also walked in front of Catlana, blocked the two people behind him with his body, and shouted to Mikaela:
"Tribal Ambassador, what do you want to do? Do you want to force us to break the rules of diplomatic relations!"
The above-mentioned diplomatic rules are "don't kill the envoy", and Duke Bolvar is already threatening Mikaela with death.
At the same time, the surrounding nobles, officials, and even servants began to talk softly. Some of them were indeed discussing Varian's whereabouts, but more were discussing Mikaela's behavior.
Regardless of whether Mikaela really knows Varian's whereabouts, his move to lure the young king Anduin towards him is an incident that the Kingdom of Stormwind will never tolerate. After all, Anduin is the only royal bloodline today, and his safety is related to the survival of the country!
But Anduin himself didn't seem to understand this. He was held in Katrana's arms and kept shouting: "I want to find daddy, I want to find daddy."
The countess could not comfort the excited Anduin, so she had to look at Bolvar, who immediately announced: "The meeting is over, come, take Ambassador Michaela out of Stormwind Keep!"
Tessa immediately stepped forward and guided Mikaela away, while Katrana and Duke Bolvar on the high platform also coaxed the young king Anduin while stepping down from the high platform into the apse.
Haha, it looks like they will be busy for a while.
But Michaela couldn't laugh at all when he walked out of the fortress. Instead, he glared at Tessa beside him and shouted: "Hey, are you responsible for all this?"
The Dreadlord is famous for being good at provoking unrest, so Tessa simply said directly: "We, the Dreadlord, are indeed active in the Arathi battlefield, but aside from the facts, don't you have any responsibility?"
Damn it, what kind of marketing rhetoric is this!
The corners of Tessa's mouth turned up and she said with satisfaction: "Mikaela, there is no need to think of any way to break the situation. At this point, the battlefield in Arathi Basin is a foregone conclusion. Neither the Alliance nor the Horde will give in. On the contrary, I I suggest you think carefully about the afternoon meeting."
"Huh? Afternoon? Meeting?"
Michaela was a little confused: "Isn't the diplomatic meeting over? Stormwind City issued a declaration of war to the tribe to formally declare war. What else is there to talk about?"
"Hmm."
Tessa chuckled: "Do you really think that Stormwind City will fight with all its strength? Michaela, since you have become an ambassador, stop thinking like a civilian and think about politics. I believe you will understand. of."
Political...thinking?
Michaela narrowed her eyes and looked at Tyra and asked, "Hey, what do you know?"
"I?"
Tessa pretended to be innocent: "I'm just a clerk, what do I know?"
Humph, you guy.
In this way, Michaela returned to her room in the Golden Rose Hotel, and Tessa also left.
"Owner!"
Without the suppression of the Dread Lord, the succubus Melina immediately rushed forward: "Please give me a hug."
However, this time, Michaela, who was sitting on the chair, raised her left hand slightly to express her refusal.
Melina was shocked when she saw Michaela's appearance, because at this time, Michaela changed her usual silly appearance and became calm and sophisticated, exuding a bottomless aura!
"This is my master."
Melina nodded with satisfaction, then lay down on the bed obediently and fell asleep.
In the spiritual world, Michaela is instructing Torina: "Take out all my memory files about the alliance. I want to study the current situation carefully!"
"good!"
Although Torina usually likes to complain and make mistakes, as a system elf, she has been doing her best to help Michaela.
Now, Mikaela will turn into a politician, think about the situation of the alliance, and speculate on the thoughts of the Kingdom of Stormwind!
The basic method of solving problems is divided into three steps.
The first step is to collect relevant information, which is also the most critical step. Only when the information collected is comprehensive enough can subsequent steps be effectively carried out.
In addition to the Defiler Legion of the Forgotten Forces of the Horde, this incident involves two forces related to the Alliance. They are the Arathor Alliance Army formed by the Kingdom of Stromgard, which is currently fighting a fierce battle between Arathi and the Horde, and The Kingdom of Stormwind has just announced its support for the Kingdom of Stromgard.
The Kingdom of Stromgard and the Kingdom of Stormwind both belong to the Seven Kingdoms of Humanity, and the Kingdom of Stormwind is one of the two strongest among the Seven Kingdoms of Humanity. Now, with the demise of Lordaeron, another powerful human nation, the Kingdom of Stormwind has become the strongest among the seven human kingdoms...
Hey, wait.
Mikayla remembered that Tessa once revealed that Storm King's two generations of kings, Lion and Varian, had problems issuing public bonds, which resulted in the Kingdom of Stormwind being overpowered by the Kingdom of Lordaeron and becoming the second largest among the Seven Kingdoms.
But as the Kingdom of Lordaeron was completely destroyed in the Scourge War, the Kingdom of Stormwind naturally became the boss of the remaining human countries. And because the Kingdom of Lordaeron is gone, the related debts have also disappeared. The Kingdom of Stormwind can pay off a large amount of public debt, which will make it much more generous in terms of annual budget allocation.
Ah, I see!
As the relevant information continued to increase, Michaela's mind suddenly became clear, and the basic problem-solving method moved to the second step, analyzing the information.
Now, the Kingdom of Stormwind, which has become the leader of all human nations, will definitely seek to match its influence, so it will definitely be able to support the Kingdom of Stromgard in winning the battle of Arathi Basin...
Um?
Why should we win!
Suddenly a light flashed in Michaela's mind.
"On War" mentioned that "war is the continuation of politics." If the Kingdom of Stormwind wants to control the Kingdom of Stromgard, then what it has to do is not to win the battle of Arathi Basin, but to delay the war indefinitely and keep the Kingdom of Stromgard in a war. I need help from the Kingdom of Stormwind.
But "The Art of War" says, "A soldier's army lasts long and a country benefits from it." The most critical word in this sentence is "national benefit" rather than "national victory" because war is a consumption of national resources. , the longer the war lasts, the greater the consumption, until the country can no longer bear it.
After combining the above two, we come to the third step of the basic method of solving problems and draw a conclusion!
The Kingdom of Stormwind wanted a long-term war that would not cause too much of a drain on the country's resources.
Obviously, this kind of war is difficult to achieve. After all, one party alone cannot control the scale of the war. Your opponent will not cooperate with your steps unless...
"Unless you secretly collude with your opponent in advance!"
Michaela, who had figured out all the joints, smiled, and at the same time leaned back in her chair: "I understand, the Kingdom of Stormwind is such a good plan! This plan is rattling."
No wonder Duke Bolvar and Countess Katrana were extremely tough in court, just to show the Kingdom of Stromgard that the Kingdom of Stormwind was about to take action.
Then, it will be my turn to meet privately and finalize some treaties secretly to ensure that the war in Arathi Basin will never end.
As the ambassador of the tribe, Mikaela will of course win the best interests for herself... ahem, I mean for the tribe!
At this time, Torina asked: "Michaela, what are your best interests?"
Hey...hey!
Suddenly, Michaela was confused by the question.
Yeah, what is my best interest?
At this time, Michaela had not yet established his own power. Being alone, he really couldn't think of any other benefits besides gold coins...
No, I'm not alone, I still have Marlenia!
correct!
I can ask Countess Katrana Presto for a pass to Blackrock Tower. Today, Blackrock Tower is controlled by her brother, the black dragon Nefarian. With Countess’ pass, I believe I can enter Blackrock Tower safely. Find the Grand Elementalist Krisik to buy the Elementium Ingots to create Demonized Elementium Ingots and cast better prosthetic limbs for Malenia!
In addition, I can also ask Bolvar to visit the Stormwind City Prison, so that I can complete the evil god's goal by myself without relying on the Dreadlord Gulientesha!
"Haha, what a good plan!"
A familiar voice sounded in Mikaela's ears, and Mikaela happily agreed: "Yes, this is my evil plan, hahaha...ah!"
Michaela's smiling face froze in mid-air because he discovered that Tessa had appeared beside him at some point and was glaring at him with her eyes:
"Smile, why don't you smile?"
Damn it!
No wonder Melina and Torina suddenly lost their voices, their feelings are like this!
Michaela put away her smile and said seriously: "Tessa, didn't you leave? Why are you back!"
Tessa looked at Michaela as if she were an idiot: "Do you know what time it is?"
"What time is it?"
As soon as the words were spoken, the bell tower in Stormwind City rang.
"Dang!"
Tessa also took advantage of the situation and said: "It is now one o'clock in the afternoon, and Countess Katrana Presto wants to talk to you alone."
"ah!"
Only then did Michaela realize that she had spent too long thinking just now, and:
"I haven't eaten yet!"
