Amidst the laughter and laughter of the leaders, the episode caused by this child's mischief was completely diluted. I can only say that fortunately, this child's mischief was really just a child's mischief.
After all, how to distribute money is a big deal within the alliance right now. Even if something bad happens, for the sake of money, most people will choose to ignore it first and never overturn the table until absolutely necessary.
So at this time, Varian was actually in a bad mood, so much so that he had no time to pay attention to the affairs of those children. He stood in the outer circle with a worried look on his face, and those beside him were smiling.
Ashamed Mathias Shore.
Not long ago, Varian celebrated his eighteenth birthday and officially entered adulthood.
From a young king who succeeded to the throne to an adult monarch, perhaps it was for this reason that after meeting Lothar this time, the other party no longer took the initiative to ask him about the internal affairs of the kingdom.
Lothar is very concerned about Varian's growth. A boy needs greater freedom in the process of transforming into a man. Now Lothar has designated himself as a staunch ally of the Kingdom of Stormwind in the north and Uri.
The En family is a powerful foreign aid, not Varian's guardian.
Varian, who has begun to learn to manage a country independently, is particularly concerned about the distribution of benefits from the Kozan war compensation this time.
The reason he cares about the distribution of war compensation is not because Varian is greedy for money, but because the Kingdom of Stormwind really needs this money.
The wealth that the Kingdom of Stormwind once possessed was plundered by the orcs. Although after the plan to rebuild the Kingdom of Stormwind began, they used means to squeeze a large amount of money from the nobles, but it was still somewhat insufficient to use it to rebuild a kingdom.
Therefore, in the more than a year since Varian succeeded to the throne, his biggest feeling is that there is a shortage of money everywhere. For this reason, he himself lives a very simple life. He hopes to use every money he saves on the right things.
direction.
But now something happened. Xiao Er, who was in charge of intelligence work under him, was captured by a powerful and mysterious stalker in the Hanhai Protectorate.
Although Shore was only for Varian's safety, it was a very dangerous act for an agent to sneak into another country's capital.
…
Over there, Alsace and the others returned to their residence first, accompanied by their attendants. Calia recalled Li De's praise to her just now, and felt an indescribable shyness in her heart. She didn't even dare to look at her on the way back.
Towards Li De.
"Your Majesty, as the host, I am really sorry that something like this happened. The entourage has just arrived here. Although they have a city guide, they are still very unfamiliar with the environment of Gadgetzan.
Therefore, I suggest that it is better for the Hanhai Protector to organize an event tomorrow, so that your majesties can take their families to visit the two cities and one port here."
Before finding a breakthrough to the problem, Li De still tried his best to delay the progress of the meeting.
Greymane had already noticed that Li De was obstructing the distribution of compensation, but his daughter accounted for a large part of the responsibility for the chaos that occurred today. He could not directly oppose it, so he could only retreat in order to advance.
"I agree with this proposal. The heavy state affairs have indeed made us more or less neglect our families.
But Protector Li De, our talks will have to be held later, and we don’t have that much time to stay here all the time."
At this moment, Van Cleef quietly came to Li De and whispered a few words in a low voice.
After hearing what Van Cleef said, Li De immediately changed his expression and said with a bright face.
"Then do as His Majesty Greymane says."
Li De's sudden change in attitude surprised several kings. In fact, after several days of testing, everyone had already tacitly understood each other and were waiting for who would make the first move.
'It seems that the report Li De received is very crucial. He finally decided to take action.'
Terenas was thinking secretly in his heart. The way his daughter looked at Li De just now was all in his eyes. Thinking of this, Terenas walked to Li De.
"The initiative proposed by Protector Li De is very good. Even a king should return to his family once in a while, but I remember that you don't seem to have a family yet, right?
If a leader does not have a family of his own, the subjects under his rule may not feel at ease. Li De, you are almost thirty years old and need to start a family."
Li De was a little confused as to why Terenas suddenly became concerned about his personal affairs, but responded vaguely.
But he didn't expect Terenas to change the subject and say it in front of everyone.
"My daughter Calia has no marriage partner yet. I wonder what you think, Li De? Are you interested in becoming Lordaeron's son-in-law?"
This shocked everyone present. Greymane and Trollbane secretly cursed Terenas as cunning. It is foreseeable that the Vast Sea Protector will become more and more powerful in the future. If Li De and Calia
After getting married, Lordaeron and the Protectorate of the Vast Sea join forces, and the alliance will be dominated by them.
To take a step back, even if the marriage between Lordaeron and the Protectorate of Hanhai did not come true in the end. During this meeting, if Li De was so determined about this, he would definitely favor Lordaeron when it comes to the distribution of compensation.
Li De was shocked by Terenas's imagination. When he thought of Calia, who was less than half his age, he felt a little headache.
"Your Majesty Terenas, I just communicated with Calia as an elder, she is just a child."
Terenas was unfazed by this.
"Jalia is already fourteen years old. In a few years, she will be of age to get married. Girls grow up very quickly. You can definitely sign the engagement first and then consider getting married in a few years."
"Ah...actually I already have a lover."
Li De's excuse was obviously not convincing to Terenas, and he gave him an "I understand" look.
"As a man, it's normal to have several lovers. I've heard what you're talking about. She's a female general from the night elves, right?
I can understand the pursuit of excitement when you are young, but after all, you are still a leader of the human race, and your official marriage partner must be chosen from the human kingdom, and someone with a similar status must be worthy of you."
The two people have completely different ways of thinking, so how could they talk together? Li De could only be speechless, and Terenas smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"You don't need to feel too much psychological burden. This is just an informal proposal. You can think about it first. I will wait for your reply in two days."
As he spoke, Terenas left with a smile. In his opinion, Li De had no reason to refuse to marry Calia. As long as he let the news out, there would be many people within the Hanhai Protectorate to persuade Li De to agree.
.
Li De was a little embarrassed to be in the eyes of everyone. This incident made Li De a little embarrassed. He couldn't think of any good solution for a while. He could only put this matter aside in his heart and deal with it now.
More important things.
"Marshal Lothar, are you okay with something later?"
The leaders of other countries returned to the hotel where they were staying first, but Li De found him alone. Of course, Lothar was not too surprised.
"I'm fine, what's wrong?"
"That's right, I would like to ask you to accompany me to visit His Majesty Varian later."
…
On the top floor of the Gadgetzan Hotel, Li De and Lothar knocked on Varian's door together.
"Uncle Lothar, Protector Li De, I happen to have something to tell you."
After inviting Lothar and Li De in, Varian hesitated and took the initiative.
"Is Protector Li De here because of today's incident with Xiao Er? Please believe that I don't have any bad intentions towards Protector Hanhai."
Varian spoke frankly, and Lothar was a little surprised. How come what he said and what Li De wanted to say were not the same thing?
"I believe what you said is true. In fact, in terms of security work, Hanhai Protectorate is relatively strict."
This is not Li De's boast. Mathias Shore's every move in Gadgetzan was actually under Van Cleef's control. He did nothing extraordinary except sneaking without authorization.
"Our people stopped him today, but they didn't actually want to target him. It's just that in such a situation, all the people involved are sensitive people, and any accident may lead to tragedy."
