As soon as these words came out, the entire noble meeting froze in place. They quickly began to recall everything about Li Ke, and then they couldn't help but loosen their bow ties.
If all this is true, then doesn't it mean that the person they have always regarded as a pawn in Tenaris's temptation is actually the illegitimate son of Tenaris!
"This... is impossible. After all, how could a person as wise and wise as His Highness Tenaris give so many things to... one..."
An old nobleman loosened his tie and felt a little uncomfortable in his throat.
"It's not impossible. Tenaris only has one son, Arthas. Although Prince Arthas is already very good, it's impossible for someone like him not to do secondary insurance. And do you think
Would Tenaris not have a few bastards?"
All the nobles present were silent.
Illegitimate children are extremely normal. The maids around your wife and the maids at home can be used as objects of affair. Even in more enlightened families, the hostess will acquiesce in the existence of illegitimate children - but it must be before birth.
Leave the castle, or even better, destroy it.
Many bachelors have beautiful wives, children, and jobs this way.
If you want to say that Tenaris is a monarch who loves his wife deeply, then there is no problem, but if you want to say that as a king, he is not a bit immoral, that is really ridiculous.
Even when Uther was young, he had an affair more than once with a tavern waitress, the hotel owner's daughter, etc., but it didn't come to fruition in the end, and the old knight didn't break the habit.
And there will definitely be no shortage of women around Tenaris to seduce him.
He said there was no illegitimate child, but few people would believe it.
Therefore, after exchanging opinions with each other, several people's breathing became a little unstable. They looked at me and I looked at you, and then they didn't know what to do.
As for verifying whether Li Ke is the illegitimate son of Tenaris, who can know such a thing!
If they could verify these things, why would they still be in Stormwind City!
"So, what should we do? We can't ask His Highness Tenaris if Mr. Li Ke is your illegitimate son, right?"
His words left the nobles speechless again.
If it had happened before, they could have used the possibility of Defias thieves in Li Ke's territory to let Varian investigate Li Ke. After all, Varian is a powder keg now, as long as it is about the Defias thieves, especially
It's anything about Van Cleef that can set him on fire.
The worst case scenario is that the nobles can just scrape together 10,000 or 20,000 gold coins and let him use his army.
"Although His Highness Alsace is a little impatient, he is still a qualified king, so it shouldn't be the case. That's right, it won't be the case."
A noble kept saying such words, and then looked at his other allies nervously, hoping to get their approval.
But unfortunately, everyone was a little silent.
Is Alsace good?
It's really good, just a stupid young man, but if you want to be a qualified king... To be honest, no one can see this now. After all, whether a king is good or not requires practice.
So no one paid attention to him, but looked at the leader of the meeting. After all, no one could influence the will of His Highness Tenaris, and dealing with Li Ke was even more of a joke.
Their private soldiers may stay under their command with courage and justice, but the combat effectiveness of the kingdom's regular army will be halved the moment they see the Holy Land. And once they know Li Ke's treatment of civilians, at least half of them will
Soldiers will choose to work as foreigners.
And if Li Ke improves the treatment of soldiers a little bit and does not have any conflicts with Varian, then some soldiers will even go to the opposite camp to eat.
And once Varian knows that they are capable of supporting a war, the scene between the king and his ministers will be ugly.
"So, what do we do? Let Varian collect his taxes?"
Li Ke's taxes are exempted. This is something Varian has said before. They have also regarded the food in the Western Wilderness as their own food.
"...This is not a good idea, but regardless of whether he is or not, we must make a statement. And although it is difficult to say it, we do need to send someone to ask His Highness Terenas what he means and confirm Mr. Li Ke
The purpose and idea of coming here. Of course, if Mr. Li Ke encounters trouble, we can also help a little and help Mr. Li Ke make a fortune."
They really couldn't think of any other ideas, so the leading noble made the decision.
In this way, not only can Li Ke know how powerful they are, but also Li Ke's identity and purpose can be determined.
Just a little bit.
The letter should be written tactfully.
One week later.
"...To sum up, based on the facts described, we have thought exhaustively and exhausted the legacy of history. We have not failed to rediscover the legacy of Thoradin's old events and the glory of Tyr. However, we are still trapped in the fog and entering the confusing world.
It’s a strange story, I’m afraid it might hurt me, so I dare to ask..."
"...In order not to avoid the disaster of brotherly love, we are not just making decisions. However, His Highness Varian has no blood brothers or sisters. We cannot understand the whole story, the will of the Holy Light..."
"... Therefore, I write this letter out of generosity and sadness to express our longing..."
Tenaris put down the letter in his hand, remained silent for a while, and then looked at his palace ministers in confusion.
"What are these people crazy about?"
He could understand every word, but he couldn't understand their meaning when put together.
These nobles from Stormwind City talked at length about how two brothers, under their father's orders, one went to take care of the store that his father had booked, and the other took care of the store that his father was running, and then those who wanted to come to this father's store
The people who live in the world are worried because of some of the measures taken by their brothers. They don't know whether they should seek refuge with this brother or with the brother who is going to take over his father's duties.
So this matter came to the attention of the noble council. The noble council of Stormwind City couldn't understand this, and Varian had no brothers, so they wrote to him specifically to ask.
"These people don't seem to be talking about the ownership of the shop."
The palace minister raised his eyebrows and started joking.
"Of course I know, but that's why I feel confused, what is that called..."
Tenaris rubbed his forehead. If it were in the past, he would never forget other people's names, even if he only heard them once, but now he is old.
"Li Ke, a paladin who was expelled by you. I heard you say before that you are very optimistic about him."
Only then did Tenaris remember the paladin who could call miracles, and the grudge between him and his son.
He was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, then shook his head and threw the letter on the table.
"Did he do a good job? To make those people think he is my illegitimate son?"
The minister nodded.
"I heard that Sir Prestor gave him a lot of help, maybe because of this."
Tenaris smiled and shook his head. This wonderful misunderstanding made him very interesting, so he spoke.
"Write a letter and tell them I didn't know about it and I haven't had this problem, but it's always better to choose the better one."
The minister was a little surprised.
Everyone knows that for this kind of thing, denial means admission. The ministers can be sure that Tenaris does not have an illegitimate child, and even if there is, it will not be Li Ke.
And by doing this, Tenaris was trying to trick the nobles of Stormwind City.
"Those nobles still have some use."
"But it is more suitable as a whetstone. Like Lord Presto, there are some things that I can no longer do."
Tenaris stretched himself, and he was surprised to find that he was sleepy again. He could work for a whole day before, but now it was only an hour or two, and he wanted to go back to bed to rest.
The minister was relieved. He had been worried about this for a long time.
"It seems you are not confused enough to not see Lord Presto's problem."
Tenaris just smiled, he was confident in his kingdom.
"I'm just old, not stupid... Arthas will be better than me. This is what he is destined to do. Whether it is the Holy Light, the Undead, or the Dragon, this is what he should experience in this life.
thing."
He wanted his son to become a true emperor, one who would surpass Thoradin.
And the emperor has no hardships...how can he be called an emperor?
