The night was cool, and in order to celebrate the Alliance's great victory at the Gate of Scourge, a grand ball was held in the luxurious manor of Grand Duke Alpha of Stormwind City!
At the ball, King Varian made an opening speech, especially praising the bravery of the soldiers in the Battle of Northrend, and scolding Duke Bolvar for his shamelessness and viciousness.
The victory over the Scourge Gate in Northrend was the greatest victory of the Stormwind Kingdom in recent years, inspiring the confidence of the people and laying the foundation for King Varian's rule.
The nobles who attended the banquet all praised the greatness of King Varian. Many nobles shed tears of excitement and shouted that God bless the Kingdom of Stormwind for such a great king to appear.
After the first dance, King Varian politely left and took a rest in the Duke's back garden.
There are fiery red flowers everywhere in the garden. The petals are falling in colorful colors and covering the ground. They exude an extremely rich fragrance and make people feel relaxed and happy.
Varian sat down in a villa, and a guard brought him wine.
While sipping the red wine, Varian suddenly noticed that there were many magic gems inlaid on the walls of this villa, which seemed to form a strange magic circle.
Varian felt strange. The accompanying court mage explained that these magic circles had the effect of keeping warm in winter and cooling in summer, and could also prevent mosquitoes from entering the villa.
"This mysterious Alpha Duke is also a wonderful man."
Using precious magic gems for this was too extravagant and wasteful. Varian didn't think much about it and planned to sit there for a while and then leave.
Varian, who worked hard to govern, was determined to be a good king. The war in the Kingdom of Stormwind was about to start, and he urgently needed to calm people's hearts and stabilize the four sides. There were still many political affairs to deal with.
At this moment, a melodious sound of the piano came. This is a multi-stringed zither unique to the high elves. It is extremely difficult to play. Only the nimble fingers of the elves can do it.
After all, Varian grew up in the royal family. He had been influenced by art since he was a child, and he quickly heard some charm.
The player's skill is extremely high, and the sound of the piano blends perfectly with the tranquil night.
The extremely beautiful music sounded like a beautiful girl speaking touching love words in front of his eyes. Varian was immediately intoxicated by the beautiful music.
Amidst the faint sound of the piano, Varian seemed to see a picture slowly unfolding before his eyes.
A high elf woman was playing happily in the fields. The wet morning mist wet the girl's skirt, and the naughty mana dragon swam around the girl's fingertips.
The gentle and melodious sound of the piano, like the gurgling water on a small bridge, represents the girl's happy mood.
Suddenly, the cheerful atmosphere was broken, and the sound of the piano sounded like an iron horse.
Smoke billowed in the distance, countless evil energy auras rose, a city was occupied by the Burning Legion, and the demons of the Legion let out horrifying jeers.
The girl panicked and hurried back to the nearest city.
The defenders closed the city gate, and the residents looked at the city occupied by the legions not far away in fear.
Varian felt something in his heart and immediately thought of Silvermoon City.
After Silvermoon City was massacred by orcs, most of the high elves were destroyed.
After taking refuge with the orcs, the high elves helped the orcs conquer the north and south, and occasionally satisfied Thrall's appetite. As a result, the number of the tribe became increasingly scarce.
Now that the Undercity is occupied by Varimathras, Silvermoon City is in a very bad situation.
Even the savior Thrall did not dare to offend Varimathras, and the regent Lor'themar Theron, who had never had a say in the tribe, was even more afraid to death.
The sound of the piano gradually deepened, conveying a trace of sadness, a young girl's concern for her homeland.
When everything returned to silence, Varian was still not satisfied, so he asked the guard next to him who was the performer.
The guard called the housekeeper in the back garden, and the housekeeper replied respectfully:
"Your Majesty the King, the player is the daughter of an old friend of Grand Duke Alpha. It is said that she is the biological sister of Kael'thas, a real princess. She was worried about the safety of Silvermoon City and was in a irritable mood so she played a song.
I'm very sorry to disturb His Majesty the King."
He had never heard of Kael'thas having a sister. Varian privately speculated that she might be an illegitimate daughter, which was very common among nobles.
Since Kael'thas was murdered, there are not many members of the Sunstrider family left.
Varian suddenly became interested and asked in a low voice:
"I would like to ask, can you invite the princess to come over and talk to me?"
The housekeeper only said to try to invite him, and then he took the order and left.
Not long after, several high-level elf women dressed as maids entered the villa and separated a small curtain in the living room, covered by gauze. It was like a dream, and the view was not particularly realistic.
The woman appeared in the curtain holding the piano, and only saw a slim figure, Yingying saluted Varian, her voice was clear and beautiful:
"The little girl accidentally disturbed His Majesty's pleasure. Please forgive me."
For some reason, the woman successfully aroused Varian's interest. She felt a fire in her chest and asked knowingly:
"The girl's piano music is melodious and beautiful, but why is there a sense of irritability that ruins the beauty."
The woman sighed and said quietly:
"Your Majesty, please atone for your sins. Since Silvermoon City was conquered by the orcs, the country and family were destroyed, and the mountains and rivers were shattered. Now the high elves have no choice but to rely on others and have been oppressed and humiliated by the orcs. The regent, Lor'themar, does not know how to make progress and is greedy for power.
, colluded with Thrall to oppress the people. Although I am only a woman, the blood of the Sunstrider family flows in my body. I am worried about when the glory of the Sunstrider dynasty will be restored, so I have feelings in my heart, which will inevitably be expressed in the music of the piano."
When Varian heard this, he immediately felt the same.
I remembered that in the Dauntless Fortress, Garrosh was almost eaten as rations, and in the battle at the Scourge Gate, the savior Thrall ridiculed him and did not take him as a king seriously at all.
"Orcs are cruel by nature, best at betrayal and cannot be trusted." Varian said indignantly.
There was obvious surprise in the woman's tone:
"People say that King Varian is wise and mighty, and he is a wise king who only meets once in ten thousand years. When we meet today, it turns out that his reputation is not what he claims. The Sunstrider has good relations with the Wrynn family and has long wanted the high elves to return to the Alliance. It is a pity that he has been punished by
Lord Regent Lor'themar blocked it."
The woman talked about the cruelty of the orcs and Thrall's cruel treatment of the high elves, and couldn't help but cry softly. If Varian met a close friend, he just wanted to hold this woman in his arms and love her.
The two of them expressed their feelings, and time flew by quickly, and soon it was midnight.
Varian was surprised to find that this woman was not only highly skilled in playing the piano, but was also involved in military strategies, marching operations, etc. She once commanded a small team to fight and killed many Zul'Aman trolls with her own hands.
This made Varian feel itchy in his heart. Compared to the pretty noble ladies in Stormwind City, this was Varian's perfect match, a true queen.
So, Varian talked about the issue of mate selection tactfully.
The woman pondered for a long time and said in a clear voice:
"I hope that the person I love is an unparalleled hero, and I can see with my own eyes that he leads an army of 100,000 people to help the high elves get rid of the oppression of the tribe, eradicate the evil that threatens Silvermoon City, and regain the land that belongs to us."
Varian was so excited that he was shaking all over. He calmed down and thought about it carefully, and felt that it was feasible.
With the blood descendants of the Sun Chaser dynasty, it is logical for the army to enter Silvermoon City.
It can not only accomplish great feats by annihilating Varimathras, but also encourage the high elves to return to the Alliance.
