"Invaders? No, death has come to your lands, long ears." Arthas's voice was cold and utterly devoid of goodwill.
"I was present at Arthas's Crown Prince Ceremony, but now I sense three sources of souls within his body. That puzzles me. One is human, one is orc, and the third is very strange, like a demon?" Patrick said, feigning confusion.
As though he had suddenly understood, Patrick struck straight at Arthas's weak spot. "How did I never hear that the prince of Lordaeron would secretly collude with orcs to destroy his own country?
