Sarlayan's leisurely life in the country passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was February of the 17th year of Black Gate.
In the morning, I handled official business in the office, and in the afternoon I took my family around for a walk. Occasionally, I communicated remotely with Uncle Kael'thas and Welles via mobile phone, and listened to the "interesting things" that happened in Silvermoon City recently.
There is no need for an outsider like Sarlayan to worry about the wedding. The Sunstrider royal family can have a great time "playing" it themselves.
With the old man chatting about the teenage madness of Anasteria, rumors and seductions have been released one after another, and the old aristocrats have been full of fire in the newspapers recently.
The founding nobles, headed by the four great nobles, were almost without exception involved in this war of words.
Sarlayan didn't know how many families had taken the initiative to stand up as the rhythm party like the four nobles. At least judging from the momentum, there was quite a nationwide opposition.
However, this was of no use. Except for a small number of civilians living near Silvermoon City who were influenced by the overwhelming accusations, most of the ordinary people in Quel'Thalas sat back and watched the show as if it had nothing to do with them.
Especially in the southern part of Yonge Forest, where the emperor is far away, under the deliberate pressure and explanations of a large number of nobles, most people have realized the benefits that the appearance of the commoner queen may bring to them, and only fools will jump out to oppose it.
Just when the circulation of Silver Moon Daily reached its historical peak, Kael'thas and the Cabinet Propaganda Department finally took action.
The General Administration of Press and Publication, named by the Sun King himself, was formally established. This department is responsible for more sensitive work such as content review and trend management of news media, and is under the management of the Propaganda Department.
The day after the General Administration of Press and Publication was established, it launched vigorous and resolute actions.
With the active cooperation of the editor-in-chief of Silver Moon Daily, the chaos of nobles being able to publish their personal emotions in newspapers as long as they paid was quickly rectified.
After the opponents were completely silenced, the old king stood up and published a message in his own name on the main magazine of the revised Silver Moon Daily.
"The candidate for the Queen of Quel'Thalas has been determined, and her name is Anveena Denis."
"The ancestors of the Dennis family were once members of the Well Guard. Now they make a living by fishing. They have always lived on the Island of Quel'Danas and have been civilians for generations."
Anastria's unilateral announcement detonated the entire aristocratic circle that day.
Although the right to speak in newspapers has been banned, the nobles will not control their mouths because of this.
You won’t let me speak in the newspaper? OK! I’ll come right to your door and spray you to death!
Recently, Sarlayan spent most of his time in the high-tech experimental area helping Romul and other engineers arrange and arrange various equipment and logistics supplies. Only when he returned home at night did he learn this from Onyxia, the fun-loving person who has been paying attention to this matter.
aware of the development of the situation.
The Sun Chaser royal family, which had already prepared a complete fishing plan, would certainly not let the angry nobles cause trouble, and had arranged for elite law breakers to set up a cordon in front of the Sun Chaser Royal Court in advance.
Onyxia went to watch the scene in person and brought back first-hand information.
I heard that the nobles of Silvermoon City, big and small, had been spitting wildly in the square with their necks red all day long, protesting against the arbitrariness of the royal family.
The law-breakers responsible for maintaining order did not stop them. They would only arrest those who scolded them excessively, involved in personal attacks, and slandered the royal family.
These cannon fodder who spoke excessively were severely punished on the spot.
The magic breaker sealed the flow of magic power in these people and publicly took out a big stick as thick as his arm to show off to the public.
"Anyway, there was a flurry of demons dancing in the square in front of the Sun Chaser's court."
Onyxia gloated and said: "No matter how much those nobles reviled, except for the representatives of the four nobles who were politely welcomed into the royal court to express their opinions, everyone was blocked outside the gate."
"Ah"
Sarlayan sneered and shook his head: "Let them go. This farce should continue for a while. I don't know how many people can realize the seriousness of the problem."
"Forced to conceive? Just with the voice and influence they have now? Thinking too much."
Except for the four nobles who still held great power, most of the founding nobles could not even squeeze into the cabinet due to Kael'thas' deliberate suppression. The military had already eliminated most of the idlers through the rectification movement.
In Sharlayan's words, these dead ducks only have one mouth and are very stiff. No matter how they call, they will not have a substantial impact on the political system of Quel'Thalas.
However, the recently "famous" nobles don't seem to think so. They haven't been so "open and aboveboard" in scolding for a long time, and they seem to want to take this opportunity to pour out the grievances accumulated in the past few years.
Anyway, the law does not punish everyone.
However... is it really as simple as they think?
The answer is of course no.
Anyone who speaks nonsense in front of the Sun Chaser's court will, without exception, be put on a list by the law breakers who are responsible for maintaining order, and are waiting to be settled later.
In addition to besieging the Sun Chaser Royal Court, some nobles planned to attack from the other side and "persuade" Anveena Dennis to voluntarily give up her status as queen candidate.
It is true that the Island of Quel'Danas is not easily open to the outside world, but it is not difficult for those powerful families to circumvent this rule.
There are indeed many civilians among the Well Guards, but the senior officers are all from the nobles of Quel'Thalas without exception.
You are not allowed to enter Quel'Danas? Okay, I will directly inform my people to start operations on the island.
However... this still has no effect.
Since Anasteria dared to announce Anweina's identity, it was natural that she had already anticipated a series of troubles that might result from this.
He arranged in advance for Villais to go to Quel'Danas in person, secretly completed the handover with Salorian, the captain of the Well Guard, who was directly affiliated with the royal family, and brought the Dennis family to Silvermoon City without anyone noticing.
In order to avoid attracting unnecessary attention, Anasteria temporarily placed them in a single-family house belonging to the royal family on the outskirts of Silvermoon City.
Anweina herself was undoubtedly sent to the Sun Chaser Court again.
Unlike the last time when he was hiding in the dark and observing secretly, Kael'thas finally met Anweina officially after having resolved his knot in his heart.
Now that things have come to an end, the two of them are destined to be with each other for countless years to come. Kael'thas doesn't want to treat his queen like a guest.
"Don't think that Kael'thas is really a harmless herbivorous man."
When talking about this issue, Sarlayan said with some humor: "According to the information I got from Luo Ning, that kid was quite good at playing games during the years he studied abroad in Dalaran, but he was relatively low-key and dull.
You're so cool, I won't attend public gatherings like silver parties."
As a senior cadre in charge of intelligence, Valeera had long had channels to know the inside story. This was no surprise to her.
When Kael'thas was born, it happened to be the period when pleasure was most prevalent in Quel'Thalas.
At that time, Anasteria was busy fighting for power with the Silver Moon Council all day long, and could not always focus on educating Kael'thas's three views.
Under the influence of the friends around him, although Kael'thas was not completely fattened like those pigs waiting to be slaughtered, he was still affected by the surrounding environment.
Harmless to humans and animals? With Kael'thas's character, this evaluation is not wrong, but the title of Herbivore Man really doesn't suit him.
"If you ask me, Kael'thas's strategy should be to wait for the price to sell, and wait for the time to move."
Sarlayan shrugged jokingly and said: "As you know, that boy's appearance is very good and his status is very noble. Even if he doesn't take the initiative, there will still be a lot of crazy bees and butterflies coming to his door."
"What Kael'thas needs to do is select the best resources. This non-active style is exactly in line with his identity and personality."
"You have all seen Anweina."
"That..." Stellagosa raised her hands and looked at it somewhat depressedly and said, "I haven't seen it yet."
"Uh" Sarlayan waved his hand helplessly: "Don't worry, there will be a chance during the wedding."
"In short, in terms of appearance and figure, Anweina can only be considered an average figure in Quel'Thalas. However, her little white rabbit-like temperament can easily arouse men's desire for protection and destruction. This
It’s an obvious plus.”
"ah?"
Tinagosa tilted her head in confusion: "The meanings of these two words are opposite, right?"
Onyxia smiled meaningfully: "I think there's nothing wrong with it. Humans are such complex creatures."
"……don't know."
Stellagosa smiled bitterly and patted the little guy on the head: "Don't go into details, you are still young."
"I'm not young! I'm over a hundred years old!"
Valeera complained with a half-smile: "If you convert a dragon's over one hundred years old to a mortal's standard, isn't he still a little kid of a few years old?"
"No! There is no such conversion!"
"cough!"
Sarlayan coughed lightly and stopped the fight between a few people: "The joke ends here."
"In short, Kael'thas and Anweina's married life should be relatively harmonious. Now it depends on when the royal family will close the net and end this farce."
