Dick raised Windfury. Anveena, Immerseus and Lei Shi, who were standing on his shoulders, also raised their left hands in the same manner. These three Elements Creature did not have swords in their hands, but this did not stop them. Anveena had Saints Lightsaber, Immerseus and Lei Shi held blue water swords. Looking from a distance, Dick had three Longswords like Dagger growing out of his shoulders, which actually startled Valeera who was standing next to him.
Today High Elf is not wearing her leather armor. After all, she is Ritual, so she and Varian are both wearing dresses. King Varian is wearing Black Formalwear and Anduin has almost the same ribbon, but nobles pay attention to details. There are at least seventeen differences between the two people's ribbons. Dick can't see it. This was all told to him by Liadrin, who was standing next to him and also holding a sword.
And Valeera is wearing a long skirt with six layers of lace, which is too luxurious to be looked at directly. Anyone can see that she is a lady, but Gladiator's experience has left an indelible mark on her. There are at least three scars on her arms. As a queen, this is obviously inappropriate, so Valeera is wearing long gloves today, but it can be seen that she is still worried about this.
"You can find a tattoo artist. I think it would be better to have a few more butterflies on your arms."
Dick winked at her and then looked forward. Caliea's last question came. As long as she answered this question, she would become the new king of Lordaeron and the first queen of the entire Azeroth era.
Gavinrad's voice was still calm and serious. He looked at Caliea in front of him and whispered,
"So Caliea·Menethil, in the face of darkness, will you fight to the end for your people? Never compromise?"
This seemed to be an ordinary question, but everyone present held their breath. Everyone knew that this question was definitely not ordinary. Arthas·Menethil. He should have been in this position, but now, under Fate's tricks, he has become the biggest darkness in this country, just like Blackhand in the clouds.
If Caliea wants to bring light to New Lordaeron, it must tear Blackhand apart, and it must stand on the absolute opposite side of the darkness. The two sides will fight to the death, and there will be no mercy. This war will only end when one person falls, but that is Arthas, her brother, her only relative. In the face of the people and family affection, how will she choose?
"If you want to wear Crown, you must bear its weight."
Dick lowered his head. He couldn't imagine Caliea's inner suffering at this time. He also remembered what Rajh said to him in Forge of Origination. Now, his understanding of this sentence is deeper.
Under that glamorous Crown, there is not only heaviness, but also sacrifices, and other things. For Caliea, there is also family love.
"I... I, I will!"
Caliea hesitated several times and finally lowered his head. His hoarse voice spread throughout the square, "Even Arthas, I will persist to the end. He, my brother, has brought heavy pain to this land, so as his sister, let me spend my life trying to heal this pain!"
Caliea closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief,
"I will give my life, the rest of my life, my will, my soul, my name, Consecration to Lordaeron, in the name of Caliea·Menethil..."
"I will live here and die here."
"After putting on that Crown, except for the responsibilities given to Menethil by Holy Light, I voluntarily gave up everything in the world!"
"Wow"
After this sentence appeared, everyone started talking immediately. The expressions of Dick and Varian changed drastically. Even Kael'thas, Druid, Pandaren and who were sitting on the chairs Envoy couldn't help but stand up. This sentence may not mean much to ordinary people, but to King like Caliea, it means that she gave up all the rights as Mortal... yes, including marriage!
And swearing in the name of Holy Light is the most solemn oath. At least in the world of Mortal World, only Nun can make such an oath, which means that Caliea will become a lonely queen.
As the people closest to Caliea, they naturally knew why she did this... Just like she said, this was to atone for Arthas's sins with her whole life. The worst thing is that Caliea made This decision was not discussed with anyone before. It can be seen from the surprise on Jaina's face that she has not even told her best friend about it. This shows that, at least at this moment, Caliea's will cannot be changed.
Gavincente was also shocked by the oath, but he was the host after all. He wanted to say something, but when he saw Caliea's tearful expression, Paladin stopped talking. He could see the determination and sacrifice in those eyes. He knew that it was useless to say anything now.
"So...Caliea·Menethil, in the name of Holy Light, the earth and the people, I declare that you will become the queen of Kingdom of Lordaeron, from Tirisfal Glades to Stratholme, from the territory of the North Sea to Theramore, this land and sky will become your territory. It will be crowned with your surname and name, and it will let you ride. The people in this territory will regard you as their king, and they will live and fight for you from birth to death!"
"From now on, those who hesitate will have guidance, those who Despair will have support, those who Courage will have rewards, and those who are righteous will have shelter."
"Caliea·Menethil, take your Crown!"
Jaina stepped forward, and her father walked out from the viewing platform on one side. Daelin personally picked up the Crown with both hands, placed it on Caliea's head, wiped the tears from her face, and hugged her.
"Child, King cannot have tears, because we can be vicious, despicable, kind, and kind, but we cannot be weak... Child, I wish Holy Light to bless you."
Daelin and Jaina exited the stage. Gavinrad picked up the branch of Bay Laurel from the side, counted it in the basin of Holy Water raised by Anduin, then raised the branch, and sprinkled the golden liquid on Caliea's Physically, as the light of Salvation, Retribution and Order dispersed, Caliea stood up under the guidance of Gavinrad, put on Crown for the first time, held Scepter, and faced her people.
There were still tears in her eyes, and there was still Sorrow that could not be wiped off her expression, but amid the hoarse cheers of the people, the flying flags and the firing of salutes, Queen His Majesty began her first speech, with only one sentence.
Because there are more things, she has already proved it with actual Operation.
"From today on, I will never leave Lordaeron again. If the enemy comes, they must first step over my body before they can hurt you!"
The cheers of the entire Stratholme reached a higher level again, and then Queen Caliea took another Scepter from its own Squire. Among the Mages' Amplification, the Queen's hoarse voice once again spread throughout the entire Stratholme,
"In the reconstruction of Lordaeron, in the past five years, there is a person who has helped this country. Everyone in the country knows it, but we have subconsciously ignored him."
"We ignored him in Stratholme, and killed over 1,000 civilians right under our feet in Salvation!"
"We ignored that when everyone was fleeing here, he still stood firm and defended the dignity of this country to the death."
"We ignored that when our world was threatened, he stepped forward and participated in the great battle against Demon on behalf of Human World."
"We have overlooked that when another human city-state was about to be overthrown, it was he who stood in front of Evil's Black Dragon and played a role in the life and death of that country for a long time."
"We should not ignore that when the ancient Evil awakened and tried to plunge the world into darkness, he was still the same person who went deep behind enemy lines, A Close Call."
"In the end, when the darkness was driven away, he was the first to stand up and twist the world into a rope to resist the possible counterattack of the darkness."
"Can greatness be the reason why we forget him?"
"No, Lordaeron will not forget! I will not forget! You will not forget either!"
"Now, as the queen of Lordaeron, I announce that Grand Knight Dick·Tang will be awarded the title of Grand Duke of Theramore and the land will be granted to Theramore. He will be Lordaeron's only overseas Province Theramore's Viceroy, this is the status he deserves. Compared with everything he has done for us, what we have done for him is not worth mentioning!"
Queen Caliea looked at the people who were quiet because of this order, and she whispered,
"If anyone objects to this appointment, please speak up."
No one, because as Queen Caliea said, Dick's reputation in the entire Human World has already reached a peak, and even because it is so great, it is always ignored by people.
Even if someone really wants to cause trouble, in this case, anyone with a normal IQ knows not to stand up, because they may be directly beaten to death by the people. In this City, there are still Dick and Half standing in front of the City Hall. It is no exaggeration to say that all the residents of this City are die-hard fans of Dick.
When Dick dressed in Black Formalwear stood opposite Queen Caliea amidst thunderous applause, he looked at the smiling Caliea and shook his head in distress.
"You don't have to do this, His Majesty, it will get Lordaeron into unnecessary trouble, and may even cause you to lose part of your power..."
Queen His Majesty looked at him, shook his head as well, reached out and placed Crown in the palm of Dick's hand, gave him a hug, and said in his ear,
"Dick, call me Caliea, don't let me become a real loner."
At the same time, above the Northrend and Ice Citadel, in the completely frozen block of ice, a pair of eyes suddenly opened, and the faint blue light flashed in them, and then turned into streaks of blue light. The ice shook, and he seemed to be about to break out, but the next moment, when the crack appeared on the surface of the ice, the eyes slowly closed again.
"Soon... soon..."
That night, at the Queen's coronation reception, celebrities and gentlemen from various countries walked here, interweaving layers of airtight networks for themselves and their families in the aristocratic society.
This is the daily life of the nobles, vulgar and realistic. Under the veil of confusion, it is nothing more than a naked exchange of interests. There are no friends or enemies, only allies, and covenants that can be Stomp at any time.
Crown Princess... No, Queen His Majesty drank some wine, her cheeks were a little red, she walked to Dick, Paladin was standing On the balcony, Jaina went to see her father return to China, and went back with him to attend her sister Fenna·Sunstrider's Ascension Ritual and Liadrin went to Quel'Thalas to visit their best friend Sylvanas who they heard was in poor condition recently.
Lady Anveena took his two little followers to play at the carnival in the city, so in the blink of an eye, Dick was left alone.
Feeling someone approaching from behind, Dick turned her head and saw Queen His Majesty coming in a hurry. She looked a little panicked. Dick asked hurriedly,
"His Majesty... Uh, Caliea, is there anything you need my help with?"
Queen His Majesty glanced at him and lowered his voice, "I found someone sneaking into my Bedchamber's inner room. Shh, don't make any noise. Come with me! Bring weapons."
Dick immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. Being able to sneak into a queen's Bedchamber was beyond the level of leaking secrets. If the worst happened, it would probably affect the stability of the newly built Lordaeron. Determined, he immediately followed Caliea with a serious expression and walked towards Bedchamber of Queen His Majesty. He pressed his finger on Bag of Holding at all times to ensure that Windfury could be summoned in the next moment.
He doesn't need much Squire help. With his current strength, not many people in Human World, at least here, can hurt him.
The two people quickly arrived at the room inside Bedchamber. Dick stretched out his hand to block Caliea who wanted to walk in. He put his finger on his mouth and made a silent gesture, then took out Windfury, quietly opened the door and walked in.
But before Dick could carefully check the abnormalities in the room, the door was closed behind him. He turned around and saw Caliea, whose face was red.
"Caliea, you..."
"Sorry, Dick."
"Poof"
A pink smoke exploded between the two people. The moment Paladin smelled the sweet aroma, he backed away and covered his mouth and nose, but it was already too late. He knew what it was. He had seen Potion from the Zandalar Tribe and the mysterious Witch Doctor, which had all kinds of strange effects.
Without allowing him to think, a hot body wrapped around him. The most terrible thing was that the most primitive fire also burst out from his body. Those Troll and Witch Doctor configured Potion is really weird. Not even Holy Light, Order, or even Lightning can dispel it. He can only restrain himself with a steely will.
He looked down at that face, that familiar face. He called her His Majesty before, but now, that face had changed into another look that Dick Courage couldn't even imagine.
"Caliea... Don't be like this... Wake up, His Majesty! Wake up..."
"Give me a child... don't let me live alone... you are the best man I can find... I'm sorry..."
The night... is slightly cool.
