Chapter 397 The master of high meritorious service?
That night, the family of Windrunner, who reunited after a long absence, seemed very happy. Even Li Reza, who was always stern-faced, showed a rare smile of relief.
Now the strength and achievements of the three daughters have gradually surpassed hers, and even Vereesa is about to break through the epic. Now the only thing that the Patriarch of the Windrunner is worried about is the leather monkey Lilas.
However, with the care and education of Charlemagne, the duke's brother-in-law and three older sisters, this little guy will gradually assume his responsibilities sooner or later and become the new pillar of the Windrunner family.
... Also, Vereesa's little thoughts were finally seen through by Li Resa. The unified views of the three daughters on choosing a mate made her feel dumbfounded and at the same time gave Charlemagne a hard look.
"Stinky boy! I didn't expect that what the three girls joked about when they were young would come true one day. If you dare to treat them badly in the future, I will beat you up hard!"
"???"
The warning Li Reza gnashed his teeth and whispered in his ear made Charlemagne look like a black question mark. He admitted to Alleria and Cirvanas, what the **** are the three? Vereesa, he has never flirted with her before, she has always been just a younger sister...
However, when the dull wooden man turned his head to look at the little girl Windrunner, he immediately had an epiphany. At this time, the little girl was quietly looking at him with eyes full of water. come out.
"Well, I really don't know about Vereesa, I always treat her as my younger sister..."
Charlemagne's flustered defense was interrupted by the mentor's fierce stare. Even if the strength has surpassed Li Reza, the other party is an elder after all. Charlemagne, who was educated to respect the old and love the young in his previous life, would not insist on fighting with his own. The adoptive mother talked back.
"In short, the three of them are all handed over to you. You need to pay more attention to nurturing that bear child of Lilas. I will persuade the council to help you deal with it with the Sun King. It seems that His Majesty will not be able to do so for a long time. As for what will happen to you."
Charlemagne opened his mouth, but in the end he could only sigh sadly, "I see, I hope there won't be a day when there will be a conflict with the royal family..."
As Charlemagne's prestige grew, even though he himself still assumed that he was not in power or in the army, as a king, Kael'thas' defense against him was still increasing day by day. Aristocrats blowing the wind behind their backs...
Charlemagne can also detect it himself. Now Kael'thas' attitude towards him is obviously colder than when he just ascended the throne. Perhaps it is his reputation in the entire Quel'Thalas that makes him feel threatened.
Li Resa patted his future son-in-law's shoulder heavily, "The king's mind has always changed a lot. When he first took office, His Majesty still needed your power to calm down the country and establish prestige for himself, but now he has settled down. You This distinguished grand duke is more of an eyesore."
Charlemagne shook his head helplessly, "I never thought about domestic power struggles. There are still countless crises to overcome in the whole world. Why are these kings..."
Li Resa stretched out his hand and rubbed the silver hair of the proud disciple with distress, "This is the quality that a king must possess. Even if you don't have that idea, you will still be afraid of the king. You should have heard the words of the master of high achievements, right?" ?”
"Don't worry too much. Your attitude can be seen by the council. The original intention of the establishment of the Silver Moon Council was to limit the excessive royal power. We will try our best not to let His Majesty mess around. Besides, there is no irreconcilable situation yet. At this point, I said these just to hope that you can prepare yourself mentally in advance."
Charlemagne was very confused, he stretched out his hand and scratched his head irritably, "Well, I need to think carefully about this issue, and maybe I need to discuss it with some confidantes, hey..."
The three Alleria sisters, who had been paying attention to Charlemagne, all noticed the ugly face of their lover. The three of them walked over with worried faces at the same time, and they also brought a restless mount along with them.
"Mother, what are you talking about with Charlemagne, why are your faces so solemn?"
Aurelia's question made Charlemagne barely smile, "It's nothing, I'll explain it to you later when I have time."
As a connoisseur of conspiracies by nature, the Black Dragon Princess was keenly aware of something, her eyes flashed brightly, "Could it be the defense against King Kael'thas? Master, you're finally going to... eh!"
Before Onyxia finished speaking, Charlemagne slapped her on the head directly, and said with a grumpy face, "It's just that you talk a lot of nonsense, and you haven't reached that point yet. In short, you should be more careful in doing things in the future."
"Enen!"
Onyxia nodded her head with bright eyes, looking at her wandering eyes, it seemed that she had already started to think of something.
Although the black dragon princess didn't finish speaking, it was enough for the three sisters of Alleria to understand what she meant. Vereesa stared at Charlemagne with wide eyes and asked, "No, you haven't always been for Quel'Sala Are you planning a plan, why..."
Cirvanas patted the third sister on the head with a sullen face, "Don't ask, who can guess the king's mind, and now Charlemagne's prestige is indeed too great, so it's not surprising that His Majesty took precautions. "
Alleria also nodded solemnly and said, "Indeed, in the entire vast southern forest, your reputation has even surpassed His Majesty Kael'thas as king. The exchanges are getting closer, and there are even signs of this situation radiating to the northern forests."
Seeing the serious faces of the three daughters, Li Reza clapped her hands and interrupted their guessing, "Okay, this question is put on hold for now. With me in the parliament, I will notify Charlemagne as soon as anything happens. It's better to be good now." Enjoy the rare post-war peace."
In the end, the family banquet became a bit dull because of Onyxia's talkative words. Only Lilas, who had been imprisoned for a long time, still enjoyed the atmosphere of reunion with his family happily. Look preoccupied.
In the early hours of the morning, Charlemagne stared at the ring with the Sunstrider family crest that Anasterian had given him in his room in a daze.
"Is it really possible to get to that day?"
Thinking of the possible future situation of the Windrunner family and Theron family, Charlemagne held the ring tightly in his hand, and his gaze gradually became firm.
"My original intention will never change. In this world, I must first ensure my own survival, and the second is to protect my relatives, friends and clansmen. I can sacrifice many unnecessary things for this, but..."
Charlemagne got up and walked to the map of Azeroth hanging in his room and muttered, "Kael'thas, I hope you can suppress your suspicion..."
