This dinner was said to be the main banquet today, but at noon Dai 21, who was once the deputy commander of the alliance, had already invited the ministers from Stormwind City and some of Lordaeron's officers, which caused a lot of reduction in attendance. If he had not been so close to us, I would have doubted his suspicion of being the main guest.

Looking at the venue that was still being cleaned, I could easily imagine the messy scene at that time...

At a banquet led by a king who claims to be a general, it must be more casual. In other words, drunkenness is inevitable. That is to say, Lordaern was the main force in the fight against the orc tribe back then, and there were almost few generals who followed Tulayang to participate in the expeditionary force, so the personnel loss rate was far higher than that of other countries. In addition, as well as our host, this caused us that Lordaern had an absolute majority at the banquet at noon. As for the few ministers of Stormwind City, it was no problem. For them, Lordaern, the prosperity of his country would only make him feel sad about the past scene and the desolation of his current country, and the love of the scenery would only make them drink more to relieve their sorrows.

The result of these two factors will only have one practical result, that is, there is no Stormwind person at the dinner to be held except Varian.

Actually, when I saw this, I had to doubt Dai Lin's motive... Did he deliberately get them drunk... For example, in order to protect his own interests, yes, Varian would definitely provide more assistance at this dinner. But now he is the only commander left, so how can he still win political chips? There is not even a double act of black-faced and white-faced.

This means that his behavior undoubtedly indirectly protected Lordaeron's interests from being eaten by the Stormwind City Lion. Moreover, his identity is the Yuan of another country, and the identity of the second adjutant of the alliance is enough to conceal his motives, at least as it is said in public.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile. There was really nothing that could reflect the unity of our family better than this. So I unconsciously took Jaina into my chest. Although she did not reject me, she smiled after showing a surprised look on her face. Obviously, she didn't understand what I was thinking.

Or maybe she didn't think what I was thinking right? Or did I ignore something. She asked me to take the card given to her by my mother, put it on again after the tidying show and smiled strangely again.

And this behavior seemed to make me realize something.

Yes, the father is the kind of selfish monarch, and his generosity can still be reflected even during the war. I remember that when Stormwind was rebuilt, we almost emptied the treasury that was already in a low position. And at this time, I also think that the father also wanted to take this opportunity to strengthen the unity of the alliance, so he would definitely not let Varian, who is still in trouble, return empty-handed. Or did he do this to leave his reputation to me and make me a good person?

I think it must be, after all, he also has to give his sister a certain dowry...

As I thought about it, gradually all the participants came.

At this moment, I saw that when Varian, who was full of confidence, realized that even his guard was drunk and did not participate, he suddenly became silent. Yes, this must not be his own script.

"Varian, what's wrong?"

I pretended to be ignorant and walked forward to comfort him, and when he saw that it was me, he still revealed some of his feelings and thoughts.

"Nothing, I just thought about how I used to be here."

“Good memories without political troubles?”

Jaina asked for it for granted, but the response she received was to smile and shake her head. Perhaps this was enough to prove that it was what I thought.

"Is there no Stormwind City people around me?" I said so, and Varian couldn't help but be shocked. I continued to talk about the King of Stormwind City without waiting for him to admit it, "Are you worried that our Zeng Nuo's help is just a blank check? Or do you think you don't know how to ask us for more help?"

"All..." After I said it through, Varian nodded.

"Don't worry, I'll help you make your requests from Stormwind at the banquet."

"But some things are unbearable for you. We just used them to ask you for advice and bargaining, and I don't know the true bottom line of the Minister of the Interior..."

"As long as it is your request, I will stand on the standpoint of Stormwind City to help you fight for it." I snatched and repeated my previous sentence before he finished speaking, "Of course, whether to bear it or not is my father's business."

"Alsace?"

Hearing that I was so generous, Varian froze instantly. Perhaps he had never thought that I would value their feelings like this.

"But I have my prerequisites," I said, turning to the love beside me... "I hope my sister can be like Jaina."

"Do you think I'm an irresponsible man?"

Varian smiled contemptuously, as if I was doubting his ability and sincerity, but the facts...

"It's not as simple as you think," my face became serious and paused for a moment.

This made Varian look at me in confusion, but Jaina did not doubt it, but stared at me seriously and shook her head. To outsiders, it seemed that she was very satisfied with the status quo, but I knew that she was warning me not to be loyal to my feelings...

I haven't done it yet.

Of course, I would not say some of the requests I should not do to others what I do not want others to do to others, but would express my most serious concern for my sister. "I hope that my sister will not feel like Jaina in Stormwind City that there is no one in her own country, that is, the feeling you just now."

"I understand." Varian became serious and swore solemnly, "I swear in the name of the Paladin I will do it like you." Seeing Varian expressing his opinion, I smiled satisfied. Yes, he would definitely do it. Once upon a time when he was at Lordaeron, my father treated him like this. I believe that this king who is grateful to him will definitely pay attention to his sister's feelings, but I feel it is necessary to remind him now.

But just when I was proud, he poured cold water on me and said something else, which made me smile instantly.

"It will definitely be an honor for anyone to be a relative or friend after you.

"Thanks."

"But you actually stand on the interests of other countries to lose your own interests, which is not a good king's performance."

"Maybe," I nodded without hiding my pain, "maybe it's not the time yet."

"Yes, you always surprise me..." Perhaps Varian realized that he was so gentle that he had hurt my dream of becoming an excellent king, so he comforted me, but before he finished speaking, he saw that his sister was coming, so he followed alone.

And when I see him like this, what can I do?

Indeed, he invisibly said a real "I". Such "I" would definitely not be a good king from Varian's perspective. But now he is not in that state, and I am still a human race, so everything I do is to make the alliance first.

Then, the assistance of Stormwind City is necessary. First, as long as the Burning Legion invades, it will be the last core of the Human League in Azeroth 6, so it is not too much for them to ask them; secondly, to make my sister truly respected in Stormwind City, financial assistance is the best and most direct way; again, my behavior can bring me my favor in their minds, and I have no reason not to do anything that can kill three birds with one stone. Of course, everything must be within the current premise of Lordaeron.

I thought so, and the banquet began as scheduled...

Everything went on as expected. What surprised me was that Dai Lin did not attend the meeting. Such behavior made me think of Luo Ning, who was similar to him, and they all found a good excuse to not participate.

I'm sure they're all pretending to be x. Although Ronin has become no longer rejecting attending such a multi-person party, he can choose, and he is definitely more willing to be alone with Wen Leisa, so he used the excuse of losing this to let Wen Leisa stay and take care of him...

It is hard for me to imagine that a young mage who once rescued the Red Dragon Queen would definitely not be so weak that he needs others to take care of without internal and external injuries. This is clearly intentional.

If it is harmless to participate with Rangers, then Dalin is different. After all, he wants to participate on behalf of Kul Tiras.

I said that Dai Lin was pretending to be drunk or deliberately getting drunk because he must have known that Varian would say some political aid on this occasion, so he didn't come so that he would not have to pay a tax. The best proof of what I thought this way was that he arranged for Jaina to sit very close to me and directly removed his own seat.

Yes, he placed his daughter under my name, rather than taking over him and sitting in the position left for Kul Tiras, which means that she cannot represent Kul Tiras now.

But then again, I understand his behavior very well. He wanted to prepare a big bride when Jaina came to Lordaeron, instead of wanting to donate it to Stormwind City, which has no big connection. After all, he also wanted his daughter to have a higher status in Lordaeron.

No matter what, he had done his best to get the ministers of Stormwind City drunk with all his heart. Obviously I can't blame him.

Of course, the above are just some details, not the focus of the meeting...

Get back to the point.

Although there was no participation of the Minister of Stormwind, under my "rebellion", Stormwind still received a generous gift - almost half of the funds in the Lordaeron treasury. The reason why the father did not feel sad about losing such food and salary was probably due to the fact that Varian began to propose to his sister solemnly in public. It is indeed very difficult for a silent person to do this.

While everyone was amazed at his behavior, many people might doubt his motives, but fortunately everyone still supports this marriage very much. Because such a marriage can undoubtedly ensure the sustainability of the alliance and the stability of the human race. This is what most people want to see.

Although this costs a lot of money, as long as it is long-term peace and not very strict policies, it is only a matter of time.

Soon, some political matters were negotiated, and then family affairs became the center of the topic. My mother's enthusiasm for him made him feel the long-lost family warmth and the memories of his own mother. Such feelings will undoubtedly aggravate Varian's expectations and intimacy for his sister.

He took this opportunity to ask for instructions to bring his sister back to Stormwind City, and what was even more surprising was that his sister did not show any surprises.

The sudden incident made my parents at a loss. Perhaps they were thinking of ways to politely decline such a quick marriage. But at this moment I became a 'traitor' again.

"I will send my sister to Stormwind City in person."

After I said this, no one expressed his objection. The only one who could object to me was my parents, but my mother, who was very concerned about my sister's feelings, always conformed to our wishes. To be honest, my sister was old enough; and my father did not object. Perhaps he realized that when Varian came to marry again, he would have to pay a tax.

(The above is just my assumption...)

In general, the banquet ended in a joyful mood, but after his daughter got married, the father and mother went to talk to her sister. In the mood, Varian, under the influence of alcohol, was also helped by Manek and others to return to the residence arranged for him. For safety reasons, the father arranged Sasarian and Melvin to go to his residence and temporarily take care of their duties before his guards woke up.
