Menethil's Power

Chapter 437 Encounter with Princess Black Dragon Again

Countess Katrana Prestor, this is the name of the black-haired noblewoman, she came to Stormwind some time before the Battle of Quel'Thalas, it is said that her blood is ancient and noble, and can even Dating back to the Arathor period.

Introduced into high society by Duke Bolvar Fordragon, she was soon recognized as one of Stormwind's finest socialites. She was beautiful, intelligent, and understanding. Queen Tiffany established a friendship, gained the appreciation of the most noble woman in the Stormwind Kingdom, and established a very unusual relationship with the entire Wrynn royal family.

As for her Earl title, it obviously did not come from the appointment of Stormwind City, but no one had any doubts about it, and her relationship with the Prestor lord of Lordaeron, according to her, was only a member of the same family. Surname only.

This is the information obtained by the diplomats of Lordaeron after asking the Stormwind City envoys, and he reported the truth to Isaacs.

The young prince just nodded and said nothing.

All of this was naturally seen by Arthas. Although he had been talking warmly with Varian and Muradin along the way, after sending the Stormwind envoys to the embassy, ​​he approached In front of Isaacs, "Why, which beautiful little girl has my respected brother taken a fancy to again?"

"Shut up." Isaacs replied angrily, giving him a dignified look.

However, Alsace no longer accepts this kind of thing. He knows when he can make fun of his brother, "I am your brother, what can I hide?" He pretended to be dissatisfied, but the raised corners of his mouth still showed His true feelings, "By the way, Isaacs, your friends are all dragons, elves, and even half-human, half-deer. I'm surprised that you didn't even get close to the Partress you brought back. Don’t tell me, don’t all the good girls among us human beings get into your eyes? Have you ever thought about who your future legal wife should be?”

They are now in the outer garden of the Stormwind embassy. Alsace's personal guard captain Farric led the soldiers to prevent anyone from approaching. The brothers didn't have to worry about the walls having ears, so Alsace spoke very casually.

Isaacs had a stinky face and raised his hand to hit him.But Arthas immediately answered the question for him on his own initiative, "Even if you really don't want to inherit the throne, the official princess announced by the majestic Prince of Lordaeron can't be a non-human species, right? Besides, you should The Millhill family left descendants with pure human blood." He had a look of self-inference and then suddenly realized, "So it is actually a good thing for you to fancy a certain Stormwind noble chick! This can barely be regarded as a good match. , and can also enhance diplomatic relations between the two sides!"

Alsace looked eager to try, with the feeling of "I agree to a real marriage".

"Worry." Isaacs shook his head helplessly.

Lordaeron naturally showed warm hospitality to a friendly monarch who came to visit in person. A banquet was held in Lordaeron's palace that night. The participants were naturally high-ranking figures from Lordaeron and Stormwind City visiting staff.

The nobles of Lordaeron have weathered many storms in the past few years. When Lord Prestor came to power, he cleaned out a group of disobedient guys, but this man disappeared soon, and the royal family of Menethil went to the court again. Those who took refuge in the black dragon lord early took the knife, and the "coup d'état" that Kalia tried to plan under the control of the dread demon king involved a large number of people. The eldest princess will be forgiven by Terenas, but Those who are dissidents will not be treated like this.

After all the tossing and turning, a lot of gaps naturally appeared in Lordaeron's high society, but they were no longer filled by nobles from aristocratic families, but upstarts who made their fortunes with military exploits and keenly grasped Isaacs to bring Lordaeron The wave of change, thus accumulating a large amount of wealth of businessmen and tycoons.

Clearly, times have changed.

But this is not the case for the Stormwind Kingdom. When the Horde captured that majestic city, the nobles in high positions were the first to retreat. Therefore, although Stormwind City has experienced destruction and rebirth, its superstructure has hardly changed. .When the old nobles met the upstarts like Lordaeron, friction would naturally erupt, and both sides could not understand each other, but this was after all a banquet involving the monarchs of the two countries, so the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Lordaeron's top meat, pastries and drinks were served at the banquet. Because of the existence of Lordaeron, the world tree, Lordaeron's agricultural products are excellent. Coupled with the craftsmanship of the pandaren chef, the food produced is naturally delicious. , but most people's minds are not on the food. The older and experienced upper-class people know that this kind of banquet usually has a special meaning, and it is a good social occasion for young people.

The two young and unmarried princes of Lordaeron naturally received the most attention, especially Isaacs. In the ball after the banquet, he was invited by seven or eight noble girls who were affectionate or shy. But he politely declined.

Handsome face, noble status, strong strength, proud military exploits, coupled with the attributes of a bachelor, naturally made Isaacs the best choice for a son-in-law. Although there are rumors that he has a red dragon lover, but for those For the aristocratic girl in Huaichun, this is a bonus option, which shows how popular this young man is.

Isaacs himself didn't have much interest in this kind of dance, but he didn't leave early out of etiquette. He looked at these glamorous men and women casually, and then frowned slightly.

Varian suddenly stepped onto the dance floor at this time. This is not a surprising situation in itself, and dancing is not an act that does not conform to the status of a king, but his dancing partner turned out to be Countess Katrana.

Isaacs' eyes fell on them. Varian put his arms around the countess's slender waist. The two of them were very close and looked very close. They cooperated tacitly, obviously they had danced together many times. , and soon the other dancing nobles left the stage consciously, leaving the dance floor to the protagonist of the banquet.

After a difficult maneuver, the countess's hair brushed the king's face, her delicate body leaned back, and Varian's solid arm held him, and the movements of the two were frozen, while the dance music The last note was also reached, and spontaneous applause rang out for them.

This is like a pair of lovers. The relationship between the two seems to be more than a simple dance partner. If Varian doesn't already have a loving queen, most people will guess whether the young king is interested in a beautiful countess. Of course, the corners of the mouths of some middle-aged aristocrats raised an arc. They felt that the King of Stormwind should have his first semi-public lover.

This is almost a tacit matter among the upper class nobles. There can only be one wife, but there is no limit to the number of lovers.

Isaacs frowned even deeper.

"Oh, it's not good." Arthas smiled badly, "I said you would definitely win the joy of this Stormwind lady, but I didn't expect Varian to be the first to get there."

Isaacs ignored him.

At the end of the song, Varian and Katrana returned to their respective positions, but Isaacs got up suddenly and walked straight to the beautiful countess, "Miss Prestor, I don't know if I can invite you to dance together for a while." What about the song?"

This was really a situation beyond everyone's expectations. Even Alsace opened his mouth wide in surprise. After Varian had clearly expressed his close relationship with the Countess, Isaacs suddenly came over?Is this provocative?

You must know that this is a banquet attended by the kings of the two countries, and when Isaacs was greeted at the city gate before, he showed a very friendly attitude. Why did he suddenly confront each other now?

Is it a beauty?But it shouldn't be. Although the countess can indeed be said to have a disastrous appearance, Prince Isaacs is by no means a person who will be dazzled by female sex. His Royal Highness can be said to be quite clean.

Most people's eyes focused on Katrana, and the black-haired beauty immediately became the focus of the audience.
Although she appeared to be a weak and weak young woman, she was actually the notorious black dragon princess. Onyxia looked quite calm as usual.And Isaacs stared at her expressionlessly, and only he could see the hidden fear from the depths of the black dragon princess' eyes.

"Sorry, Your Highness. I'm a little tired..." Onyxia said softly.

"You shouldn't reject me." Isaacs interrupted her, and said almost coldly, as if to prove to others that he was just jealous, he turned to look at Varian, "I think Wrynn Your Majesty should have no objection, right?"

The lively dance party suddenly fell into absolute silence. The musicians of the Royal Orchestra didn't know whether they should continue to play the next piece. Alsace scratched his head in great distress. He didn't understand why things had developed like this. Not far away, Queen Leanne looked over with worried and puzzled eyes, while Terenas looked normal, as if he didn't intend to intervene in this matter.

Isaacs just looked at Varian quietly, waiting for his reply, and his gesture was already considered an offense.

The King of Stormwind frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand the other party's intentions. He showed a very deep self-restraint, "Of course I have no objection, but you should ask Countess Katrana for her own wishes."

Still watching him, Isaacs took a few seconds to make sure he wasn't showing any signs of anger or resentment.

It seems that he has not been charmed by Onyxia's spirit for the time being. The young king obviously has a very firm will, so that in the original history, Onyxia had to divide his soul into two halves to facilitate control.

Isaacs' eyes turned to Onyxia's fair and charming face, and he stretched out his hand without asking any more questions.

Onyxia hesitated for a moment, but finally put her slender hand on his and accepted the invitation.

The two slipped onto the dance floor, the atmosphere became more relaxed, and the cheerful dance music sounded again.

Isaacs put his arms around Onyxia's waist unceremoniously. In terms of dancing, he still learned a little from the court teacher when he was young, and he never touched it again. However, relying on his strong body control, he still danced like a model. Decent, of course, no one here dares to comment on his dancing posture.

The song ended, but Isaacs did not let go of Onyxia, but still hugged her very intimately, "I will go to your room at night." He whispered in her ear said the voice.

It seemed like something harmonious was going to happen, but it was clearly not at all.

Onyxia forced a smile.

Isaacs returned to his seat, but was questioned by Alsace as expected, "Do you really have a crush on that countess?" The little prince looked incredulous.

Although he had joked about it before, it was obvious that he himself did not believe that Isaacs would fall in love at first sight with a human woman whom he had just met for the first time.

"That's right." Isaacs said lightly.

Alsace couldn't help rolling his eyes, he knew this brother, his attitude was perfunctory, and he would definitely not explain further.

The banquet finally came to an end in a fairly harmonious and beautiful atmosphere. Of course, what Isaacs made had some influence, so it can only be said that the host and guest had a good time.

The Stormwind envoys returned to their residence. Katrana, as a distinguished countess, naturally had a separate room. Hospitality.

Let the accompanying maid go out, Onyxia gently closed the door, she hesitated, turned off the other lights, leaving only one.

The current King City of Lordaeron no longer uses candles for lighting, but instead uses magic lamps, powered by arcane energy.

The black dragon princess held a thick leather book in her hand and started to read, but her mind was not on it at all, but her spirit was tense, waiting for that guy to arrive.

Time passed gradually, and soon it was late at night, and Onyxia's spirit gradually became more relaxed. She was a little tired, and pretending to be a human would naturally have corresponding living habits, and beauty sleep was a must.

"You're actually coming to Lordaeron. Is there any news for you to bring to Nefarian?" A voice suddenly came from behind her.

There was no movement from the closed door at this time. Onyxia suddenly had a quick wit, and turned around to find Isaacs leaning on the window sill, staring at her with cold eyes. He came here quietly without knowing when. , I don’t know how long I have been staring at Onyxia.

Onyxia felt faint fear towards this not-so-strong human being.

He was stronger, maybe even stronger than she had imagined.
