Chapter 8 - Prestor
…………
"I'm just expressing my personal opinion!" The Paladin gritted his teeth and spit out one word.
Nathanos sneered and passed by him. "I'm just venting my personal emotions. You can think that mages are as hateful as those demons, and I can trample on the dignity of your paladins without mercy. Of course.
, only for you, there is only one paladin I respect, and you know who that person is!"
"You..." Centulus clenched his fists and shouted loudly: "I have sent people to Lordaeron to confirm your identity. If that adult denies that he knows you, I will definitely make you pay the price!
"
"Price?" Nathanos walked up to Ronin unhurriedly and placed two cooked hares in front of him. The aroma was fragrant.
"Although the Knights of the Silver Hand are a sacred organization, you are also known for your abuse of lynching. However, I will not pay any price, Lord Centulus, but you, you will be very disappointed with the results, even worse than now.
Angrier."
After Nathanos finished speaking, he handed another package to Luo Ning, which was full of fruits with excellent taste and a wide variety.
"Thank you." The mage was a little happy, but also a little worried about Nathanos' words and actions just now.
"Marius, apologize quickly." Vereesa shouted. She didn't understand why he behaved in such a rude manner, but at least someone had to come out to lighten the atmosphere.
"I'm not a social person." The human replied.
The female elf was helpless, and in the end everyone left unhappy.
"I just had enough when you were away." Luo Ning complained immediately after returning to his hut.
"What's wrong?" Nathanos walked behind and closed the door, and glanced around to make sure no one would come to spy on them.
"You haven't seen Vereesa's attitude towards Centulus. If you had, you wouldn't believe that this female elf was my guide to Hask Port."
Nathanos pondered this sentence thoughtfully, and for an unknown purpose, said: "If you feel that this is not suitable, we can leave now, and I will escort you to Hask Port."
"Really?" Luo Ning asked in surprise, but suddenly there was a hint of loss and worry. "What should Vereesa do?"
"She is very popular here, isn't she? And in fact, you are the one who carried out this operation. What Vereesa does has nothing to do with your freedom. You can choose to leave."
Nathanos' words awakened Ronin. Indeed, Vereesa was his guide and protector, but now the female elf had obviously forgotten what she should do, or she wanted the paladins to escort her to Hask.
He just wanted to be safer. But the problem was that Luo Ning was not willing to stay with those Silver Hand paladins. He even suspected that even if he arrived at Hask Port, those paladins would still follow him.
"Okay, but how should we leave?"
"Don't worry, I will let those knights know how incompetent they are."...

"Thank you again for your summons, King Terenas." The speaker was a tall black-haired noble with a rich and powerful voice. "We should be able to protect your alliance from being destroyed."
"If you can succeed," Terenas, wearing a noble and elegant gold and white royal robe, replied slowly, "Lordaeron and the Alliance will remember you, Lord Prestor. Regarding your ability,
I think Gilneas and Stromgarde have gotten to know each other somewhat." King Terenas himself was not short, but Prestor's taller figure still gave him a sense of oppression. For Terenas,
You can't find anyone with a more regal temperament than Lord Presto. His short black hair is neat and clean, his beard is cleanly shaved, and his thin face has an eagle-like appearance, which makes many women in the court.
At first glance, he felt more noble than any other prince. During the Alterac incident, all forces, including Genn Greymane, wanted to win over him. The elegant temperament exuded by this young noble
Even the ruler of Gilneas smiled.
This young aristocrat who suddenly appeared not long ago and was unknown has now become a very popular figure.
"Who is this Presto?" Inside the council hall, Arthas and Nathanos hid in the corner and peeked. This happened not once or twice. At first, Nathanos was a little opposed to Alsace.
Thass eavesdropped on the conversation between Terenas and others, but the young prince of Lordaeron didn't care, saying it didn't matter. Over time, Nathanos got used to it.
Arthas was still looking at Presto, thinking that his father must want to train him to be like this lord.
"It is said that he comes from an extremely remote mountainous area in Lordaeron, but it has been confirmed that he has the royal blood of Alterac. His originally pitiful territory was completely destroyed by a giant dragon during the war.
.A year ago, he walked to the capital alone, without even a servant."
"A year ago?" Nathanos wondered, that was not long after the Dark Portal was closed. "King Terenas believed him? The problem in Alterac has not been solved yet."
"I'm surprised too, but I've heard from others that his advice helped my father many times, including what to do with Perenolde."
"What did he propose?"
"He suggested that my father seize power in Alterac and then impose martial law."
Nathanos frowned and stared at Presto in confusion. "I believe your father must like this suggestion very much, but the problem is that Stromgarde and other countries will agree to Lordaeron's decision on Alterac."
To exercise unilateral control?”
"That's what I want to say. There are rumors that this Prestor talked to other kingdoms, gave a reasonable explanation to everything, and finally convinced them to accept all the set results."
"This is impossible!" Nathanos shook his head, attracting Arthas' curious eyes. He then explained: "Alterac is a piece of fat for the kings. No one can enjoy it alone, or you
My father has other arrangements, or..."
"What is it?"
"He used some unfair means, such as... magic and the like to achieve his goals."
Arthas took a breath and said, "You are kidding."
"I hope so too, but I always feel that this Presto is too...perfect, which gives me a bad feeling."
"You're too sensitive, Nathanos."
The two men whispered until Terenas and Prestor left together.
Just recently, Terenas refused to return Alterac to Perenolde's nephew. Although this man has the support of Gilneas, Terenas believes that this is not a solution to Alterac in any way.
It's a smart move to overcome the problem, and it will obviously anger Stromgarde and even Kul Tiras.
However, it would be different if Alterac was handed over to someone who could convince everyone, was talented, and seemed to be passionate about peace and unity.
Presto seemed completely convinced that the king would order the rebuilding of his poor realm. And Terenas decided to let him keep that little dream when the ruler of Lordaeron proposed that he would become the new king of Alterac.
When the time comes, I think the expression on Presto's face will be even more joyful.
The king stroked his bearded chin. Yes, this was the perfect person to rebuild the land and at the same time harmonize the relationship between the members of the alliance.
Terenas began to look to the future, and he thought of his daughter, Calia. Although she was still a child, she would soon become a beauty. Maybe one day, when the time comes, he and Prestor can still pass through
Royal marriages were made to cement mutual friendships and alliances.
By the way, he should talk to other people now and listen to different opinions. Terenas felt that everyone would definitely agree with his decision. He had never seen anyone who was dissatisfied with the young noble.
People with an appreciative attitude.
King Presto of Alterac! Terenas could almost imagine the expression on his young friend's face when he heard about this extra reward...
Barnier Farm, did Arthas have time to come here to take care of his future mount "Invincible". The white horse was only two years old, but the prince couldn't wait to ride it across the wilderness of Lordaeron.
Nathanos stood not far away, always paying attention to Arthas to prevent him from making any unwise moves. Then, for some reason, he thought of Presto again. This man is really strange, he
Loved by everyone. Nathanos does not believe that there are absolutely perfect people in this world, otherwise he is just pretending!
"Lies and deceit are hidden under the glamorous appearance." He murmured, and then his vision went dark. Someone covered his eyes from behind, and a pleasant voice followed.
"Guess who I am?"
The voice was very familiar, and the smell behind it was also fascinating, but Nathanos noticed something different in it.
"Are you kidding me? Why are you here? Sylvanas." Nathanos turned around and saw the female elf whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Although she was Alleria's sister, Nathanos had no regard for her.
There are always some subtleties, such as the intimate gesture just now, which can easily be misunderstood.
"Why, you don't want to see me?" Sylvanas smiled sweetly, and even felt Nathanos' breathing becoming heavier.
"I refuse to answer. This question makes me look stupid every time."
"It doesn't matter how many times you are stupid, but I'm used to it." Sylvanas looked at him, especially when she saw that behind Nathanos was still the Lorngoru she gave him.
I feel happier than before.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
