If a person wants to lie, there are two types of people he cannot hide the truth from: one is his mortal enemy who knows him even better than he knows himself, and the other is the people around him.
From the end of the Second Dark Gate War until Ner’zhul’s invasion again, Duke lived a happy life. When people are not under pressure, their nerves are not so tense, and they will not have too many concerns.
Big secrets can be kept, but small secrets still have a chance of being leaked.
Duke wouldn’t talk in his sleep, but he’d seen Sylvanas so many tis, and he’d been accustod to calling out "Queen Sylvanas this and that" for so many years before he traveled through ti, so he’d always let slip.
In the past, he could just laugh it off, but now with divh’s prediction of the invasion of the Scourge, and Duke’s previous ability to predict the future, the result is that now, Queen Sheibun has a brain spasm and asks Duke a question that hits his sore spot.
There is no point in denying it. For a guy with such amazing intuition, any cover-up will be seen through instantly.
Duke threw away his robe, revealing a Taoist-like appearance, and a solemn look that stunned Sylvanas.
"It was... a clear and cloudy night thirty-six years ago. The clock struck 13:61 in the middle of the night. I suddenly heard a ’boom boom’ sound. That was the sound of the sky. Suddenly, a very pleasant neutral voice rang in my ears. It told a shocking secret, that is, thirty-six years later, Sylvanas Windrunner will be crowned queen!"
Duke talked nonsense in a serious manner, and at first he really frightened Sylvanas.
Although Sylvanas’s IQ was a bit touching at the mont, she imdiately ca to her senses.
There are so many things to complain about!
In this world, Duke’s official announcent was that he was only 19 years old before he disappeared. Although Duke is now an eternal being and his age has no aning, the official has determined that Duke is a 29-year-old guy who is about to enter the ranks of middle-aged uncles.
And thirty-six years ago, what the hell was that?
13:61 midnight?
The sound of the sky?
Are you sure it wasn’t Duke who was struck by lightning?
It’s still a secret!
Sylvanas was so angry that she rushed over subconsciously and grabbed Duke by the collar: "Duke, you bastard! Enough! I’m asking you sothing serious, and you dare to give a perfunctory answer?"
But she imdiately realized sothing was wrong. Her actions were too unms.like and too intimate. If they were not very close, how could she grab the other person’s clothes so casually?
"I... am...right..." She wanted to apologize on the spot, but the index finger of a wizard’s hand gently pressed her red lips. A second later, Duke replaced the magic finger with his right index finger.
Duke shook his head. "You don’t need to apologize. Don’t you think this is who you are? I don’t rember ever being this far away from you."
"But...but you, my eldest sister, and my third sister disappeared for ten years. I almost forgot about you. And I also brought back the land docunts and noble emblems. I...I...betrayed the Edmund family."
In the political field, this could be considered a serious betrayal. In the human world, the loyalty of hereditary nobles is eternal. Unless the great lord takes the initiative to remove the title of the nobles under him, or there is absolute evidence that the lord has died and the next lord announces the removal of allegiance, otherwise the relationship between the monarch and the minister is permanent.
In fact, even if a great lord released soone, such a release would be considered a disgrace to the lower nobles.
Strictly speaking, it is the right thing for the Edmund family to call Sylvanas a traitor and launch a crusade against her.
Duke said slowly, "Betrayal? I don’t rember Ilucia, who was acting as my director, notifying you that you were a traitor to the family. I also don’t think an elf who defends his motherland and hotown is a traitor to the country and the people. I was the one who kidnapped you sisters with a little trick. You just did what you should do."
This is a typical case of repaying evil with kindness.
In that situation, what would it matter if I beca the hero of Quel’Thalas?
Even if the eldest sister proved that she was right, what would it matter if she slapped the face of the Sun King and the Silvermoon Council? Wouldn’t she still be bullied in the future? If she wasn’t careful, she might even be tortured to death.
At this mont, Sylvanas finally couldn’t help but burst into tears.
Unconsciously, she cried out, threw herself into Duke’s arms, and cried non-stop.
"Asshole! Why are you so good to us sisters? Why are you so good to now that you have an older sister and a younger sister? Asshole! Asshole! Asshole! Tell - did you foresee everything and do this on purpose? You deliberately ca to save at the most critical mont and made so distracted! And you took the opportunity to make a queen or sothing."
Well, Sylvanas, at least you got a lot of it right.
"How is that possible... I’m not a god..." Duke smiled bitterly. He had ssed up the original history of this world. It seed that Sylvanas had beco the queen, but she was no longer the forgotten queen of death.
Who would have thought that after saving Sylvanas, she would still be destined to be the queen. If she couldn’t be the queen of the Forsaken, she would definitely be the queen of the high elves?
"I swear to God, I have no power to persuade your old subordinates. I have never even had contact with them."
Hero-level guys are all terrifying beings with amazing intuition.
Feeling that Duke was not lying, Sylvanas seed to feel better. She lowered her head and remained silent.
However, seconds later, when she looked up, Duke was startled.
Because what appeared before him was Sylvanas with a sharp gaze like lightning, not the silly girl who was at a loss just now.
She took a deep breath and said, "Okay, Edmund Duke. I have to admit that over the past decade or so, I have been looking for a partner who is stronger than you and wants to surpass my eldest sister and third sister. This idea is wrong."
"Well..."
Her eyes seed to have a magical power that attracted Duke’s gaze. "I refuse to admit my inner feelings. This is the inner demon that has prevented from improving my strength for more than ten years. All right, I declare now - I, Sylvanas Windrunner, have fallen in love with you, Duke. Even if this is most likely a mistake, or the result of soone’s calculation, my feelings at this mont tell that I really love you."
Sylvanas’s generous admission and proactive confession of love surprised Duke, and his heart began to beat wildly.
"I..."
"Wait! Before you answer, I must ask you to answer my question seriously." Sylvanas suddenly lifted up her skirt like lightning, pulled out a dagger from her inner thigh, and put it against Duke’s neck: "If you answer wrong, I will most likely kill you on the spot, and then commit suicide to accompany you."
Sylvanas was so strong-willed and her aura was so shocking that she frightened Duke.
