The banquet in the evening was held as scheduled. There were not many people who came, and some of them were familiar faces from Alsace.
For example, Lor'themar Theron, who although he is Sylvanas's lieutenant, has always had little presence, and one of his colleagues, ranger captain Halduron Brightwing, as well as many who have fought in the ranger army before. The guy I met before.
"You are really amazing. I apologize for my previous words and deeds, Your Highness." Lor'themar picked up the wine glass, which was filled with the elves' unique fruit wine. "Forgive me for my impulsiveness at the time. I was just too worried about the safety of the lady." .”
"This is normal, Lord Lor'themar. There is no need to apologize. This just shows that you are a trustworthy lieutenant." Arthas clinked glasses with Lor'themar. "I also really want a responsible comrade like you. .”
"Haha, it's a pity that Ms. Windrunner will probably not allow me to come and work for you, His Highness. After all, I think I know the lady's style very well." Lor'themar also smiled and started to brag about himself, but saw that he Colleague Halduron winked at himself crazily.
He felt that Halduron must have had too much to drink—hehe, this guy was drunk after just a few drinks. This Halduron was so mean!
"Oh, why didn't I know that my adjutant knew me so well? Then tell me, what do you think my style is like?"
"Haha, it goes without saying that although Madam usually looks calm and calm, at critical moments she is actually still..."
Halfway through his words, Lor'themar suddenly realized something. He turned around stiffly and saw Sylvanas standing behind him.
Sylvanas had already changed out of her armor and put on a silk light blue dress with a white shawl. She looked nothing like a decisive ranger general. Instead, she looked like the elf lady next door, but the coldness between her brows and eyes showed that this lady was not in a good mood right now.
"Uh, I mean, that," I don't know if he drank too much wine, but Lor'themar suddenly felt as if his tongue was tied up and he couldn't speak clearly.
"Okay, Lor'themar, let's talk about what my style is like when we return to the Farstrider army." Sylvanas said decisively, without giving Lor'themar any thought. Opportunity to explain.
Halduron was holding his forehead helplessly. He had clearly reminded Lor'themar of that bad guy. Didn't he realize that the lady had been standing behind him for a while? Alas, I've only had a few drinks and I'm already so drunk. Isn't it like this if I just eat some food?
Just like how he usually has no sense of presence, why not just be an adjutant? Why don't you stand up and comment on the lady's style? This is Windrunner's hometown, and she is still the strongest ranger here!
After dealing with the defeated Lor'themar, Sylvanas walked to Arthas with graceful steps and whispered to him, "Arthas, someone wants to see you."
"Meet me?" Arthas was stunned for a moment. Although he basically knew the famous people here, they didn't know him. Besides Sylvanas, could it be that he had any acquaintances among the elves?
Sylvanas pursed her red lips lightly and said, "Let's talk in the past. He is waiting for you in the living room on the second floor."
Arthas, who was confused, followed Sylvanas to the living room on the second floor, where he met a black-haired high elf wearing a Dalaran mage robe.
"Who is this?" Arthas looked strangely familiar to this elf, but had forgotten his name.
"Let me introduce you. This is Archmage Rommath, a close associate of His Highness Kael'thas."
With the introduction of Sylvanas, Arthas suddenly realized that he was originally a follower of Kael'thas and later the personal advisor of Regent Lord Lor'themar.
The black-haired elf had a stern look on his face, and he looked like a stern guy at first glance, but when he saw Alsace, he still forced a smile and said, "Nice to meet you, His Highness Alsace."
"Nice to meet you, Lord Romance, so are you the one who invited me here?"
"No," who knew that Romans shook his head. He waved his hand and threw a magic crystal, making it float in the air. "It's His Royal Highness who wants to see you."
His Royal Highness Prince? Arthas knew that of course this was not referring to himself, but to the prince of the elves, Kael'thas Sunstrider.
Under the guidance of Romans, the magic crystal quickly illuminated a three-dimensional magic image. Looking at the slut's shape and handsome face that was as handsome as his own, Arthas smiled and said hello, "Kael'thas, it turns out it's Are you looking for me?"
"Yes, I must express my gratitude to you personally on behalf of Silvermoon City and Quel'Thalas." Kael'thas stared at his former love rival with complicated eyes. Although neither of them cared about this matter, Al Sass still teased him about it.
"With our relationship, you don't have to say these polite words. You sent a great mage to come to me specifically, and it shouldn't be just to talk about this, right? I remember that this kind of remote imaging crystal is very expensive."
As the second generation king, Kael'thas is also an elf prince with a rich family, so he is naturally extremely wealthy. Before the [Privy Council] was fully operational, Alsace was really not as rich as him, but now, Alsace is still slightly better. But when this guy succeeds to the throne, he may crush himself again - this He is a real tall, rich and handsome man!
"Of course it's not just to talk nonsense. I personally want to give you a gift - it's at Romance's place. He will give it to you after the call is over. As for what it is specifically, wait until you see it. You’ll understand.”
"Since it's your gift, there's no problem for me to accept it," Arthas seemed to see through Kael'thas's thoughts, "But that's still not the point, right?"
"You always seem to be able to see through people's hearts, Arthas." Kael'thas's expression was quite helpless, "Rommath."
"Your Highness, I have already deployed the barrier."
"That's good, Arthas. Next, I am speaking as the crown prince of Quel'Thalas and the future executor of the covenant between us."
"I've already told you the reason why I stayed in Dalaran instead of Silvermoon City. At first, I simply didn't want to argue too much with the guys from the Silvermoon Council, but now I find that if I don't take their The problem is solved, and sooner or later they will solve all of Quel'Thalas one day."
"This incident made me understand one thing. Not only do they not care about the life and death of ordinary people, they don't even care about the life and death of the kingdom!"
Kael'thas' words contained uncontrollable anger, and it was obvious that his anger towards the Silver Moon Council had reached a critical point.
"No, I think they still care."
Kael'thas was stunned by Arthas' words. He was filled with anger and suddenly paused. Sylvanas and Rommath also looked at Arthas, as if waiting for his answer.
"After all, if Silvermoon City disappears, their good life will also be gone."
Kael'thas didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm so serious, and you're still talking about other things."
After being interrupted by Alsace, Kael'thas calmed down a little and felt that his anger had subsided a lot, so he continued, "If it comes to that, those congressmen will definitely pack up their things and run away -"
As he spoke, he stopped and seemed to understand something.
Alsace smiled meaningfully, "It seems you already understand?"
Kael'thas' smile turned bitter. He roughly understood what Arthas meant, "But the price would be too high."
"Then it's really not easy to deal with these people. Most of the members of the Silver Moon Council are spokespersons of large families that have been inherited for thousands of years. Even your father finds it difficult. How much time do you think it will take you to clean them all?"
Arthas spoke very casually, but every word almost stuck to Kael'thas. Although Kael'thas's father, Sun King Anastarian, has almost reached the end of his life, he can still live for hundreds of more years with the support of the magic power of the Sunwell.
As a prince, Kael'thas always has limited power, not to mention Anastarian's attitude towards Kael'thas is much worse than Arthas' father Tenaris - Ah Nastarian is currently obsessed with magic, and he does not care about his son as much as Kael'thas did when he was young.
He was even dissatisfied because Kael'thas went to the human magical kingdom of Daala, and he himself, who held the supreme power of the Sun King, did not directly feel the influence of the Silver Moon Council. In his view, the Silver Moon Council was only managed by him. It's just a tool of the state.
But because no one is "using" this tool now, it is no longer the Silver Moon Council that the Sun King knew. They have long become a cancer in the Elf Kingdom. Although they cannot threaten the power of the Sun King now, what will happen when the Sun King dies?
This is exactly what Kael'thas is worried about. He was so well protected by his father that he seemed to be at a loss when facing the Silver Moon Council. He had no choice but to run to Dalaran to learn how to use the Sun. "Knowledge" that you don't have the chance to learn in the royal court.
He has cultivated a group of cronies over the years, but compared with the deep-rooted influence of the Silver Moon Council, his power is still slightly weak, so he wants to seek help from his good friend, Prince Arthas of Lordaeron.
As for what Arthas wanted to say, he knew it well, but Arthas did not say it in front of Sylvanas and Rommath because their relationship with Arthas was not close enough. Get to the point where you can say this kind of thing.
That was what happened shortly after Kael'thas arrived in Daala.
