Chapter 44 - Leandra
…………
As Winresa walked into the Tower of Sun Wrath, Aurelia was talking to the Captain of the Traveler Hadurun Mingyi, and the conversation stopped after she was seen by the Regent.
"I guess you asked him to send more people to guard the various exits of Silver Moon City."
"You're too much." Aurelia Windrunner smiled back. "I just made him focus more on the task at hand."
"You never deceived me, sister." Wenresa said affectionately, "What is Hadurun's attitude?" In fact, she could guess most of the answers without Aurelia's words. The tension in Silver Moon City has been going on for several months, and there are many people supporting Wind Walker, and Ranger Lord Rothema and his friend Hadurun are one of them.
"It's still the same."
"We can't always do this, sister." Wenresa changed his tone, "The world is changing rapidly, and Xindolei should also change. And I heard some rumors..." General Ranger frowned, "Second sister..."
"How is she?" Aurelia asked with her head raised.
"She seems to have become the commander of the Shatas coalition and is attacking the Storm Fortress."
"What?" The Regent took off the cushioned armrest seat and was shocked. "Who else knows about this? Where did you hear about it?"
"It was Baron Sereduen who said it." Wenresa looked puzzled. Her expression had confirmed that the news was true. "You ask me to pay more attention to the magician who returned from the foreign land. I will find an opportunity to chat with him for a few more words, and then... he revealed the news."
"Bastard!" Aurelia turned her back unforgivably. Sereduen was promoted to baron by her for providing physical evidence of Kelthus' betrayal. Now, he has another more important news, but this time Aurelia wants to wipe his neck.
The Regent took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. This matter must not be spread. It was her announcement that Kelthus was betrayed, and she ordered the martial law of Silvermoon City to arrest Kelthus's loyalists. She claimed that all this was for Quelthalas. If the prince was innocent and if the evidence was false, she would give Kelthus a chance to prove his innocence. But now there is one person in the Wind Walker family attacking the fortress where the prince is. Such behavior seems to be to clear the final obstacle to let Aurelia seize control of the kingdom.
The Sindores would think it was a long-planned coup.
"Have Sereduen told the news to others?"
"No, sister." Wenresa shook her head.
Aurelia blinked and breathed a sigh of relief: "Listen, Wenresa. This matter is related to the fate of the entire kingdom and the fate of the Windrunners family. You should immediately warn him not to tell Sylvanas's story, and send someone to monitor Sereduen. If anyone contacts him to obtain information against us, arrest immediately!"
She was about to urge Wenresa to do it immediately, but she heard a steady sound of footsteps outside the small room. Aurelia saw who the visitor was through the red gauze curtain, and she tried her best to make herself more patient. Then she said, "Come in!"
Ranger Lord Rothema Theron walked in. Those who could get this title were those who had important contributions to the kingdom. Now the face of Sindore wheat was filled with an indescribable expression. "Regent." He said, "It's done, and you need to see it yourself."
"It's very fast, Lothama." Aurelia squinted her eyes and nodded. Hadurun's duty was to guard the entrance of the city gate, and Lothama's mission became even more direct, searching for the royalists in the city, then arresting them and gathering them in Eagle Wing Square. "I'll go right away."
"His Highness the Regent?"
"What else?"
"Do you bring Romans there too?"
Aurelia stared at him, wondering why he asked this question. "No, I don't need to find a spokesperson for those diehard Kelthas, you let Romans stay in the magic prison."
Lothama saluted, stepped out, and let the curtain fall back into its original position.
"Go quickly," she said to Wenresa. "If Sereduen disobeys, let him get out of Silvermoon City."
...
Now, all the people gathered in Eagle Wing Square are waiting for the arrival of the Regent. This was once the place where the Ranger Lord or Ranger General was granted, but now it is a place for interrogation of the rebels. Aurelia knew that not all of them would betray Quel'thalas, but she could not have children among those.
"Lorthema, what's going on with those kids?"
"Your Highness, their parents are among them."
Anger appeared in Aurelia's eyes, "It was their family who were guilty, not them themselves." The Regent saw Belorel's figure in the children. Most of the children looked a little thin because of insufficient magic absorption.
"Take them away!" Aurelia gave orders to the Ranger Lord that she did not want the children who were regarded as "Sindore's Hope" to see what happened next, which would have a lifelong shadow on them.
"No, Regent." Lothama unexpectedly refused the task. He was ready to bear the regent's anger.
Aurelia whispered to him: "Do you dare to disobey my order?"
"No intention to offend, Your Highness. But if we force our children to separate our parents, then these people will think that you are going to threaten them with your children..." At this point, Lothema said, and he believed that the Regent had understood what he was going to express.
Aurelia gradually calmed down, thought carefully about Lorthema's words, and finally recognized his statement. At this time, she had not appeared, but was just watching from afar. The gathered elves were surrounded by travelers, priests and magic destroyers. Aurelia was very curious. Such a formation was very easy for people to think that she was going to kill. Why did the parents of those children still bring their children with them? Or was it instigated that it was difficult for her to make a judgment on these people?
"Go and take a look!"
As soon as she entered the square, many Xindore began to whisper.
"She is here!"
"This is a conspiracy!"
"Uploader!"
"The Wind Walker Family is no longer our guardian."
Even if Aurelia heard these words, he did not react. He just observed those people carefully and hid his expressions and emotions just as well.
"Do you want to kill those of us who see the truth, Aurelia?"
The Regent took a few steps forward and glanced at the speaker. She immediately understood who was inciting the slander of her. Leandra Sun Chaser, a female member of the royal family, although she was Sun Chaser, her bloodline belonged to a remote branch of the Sun Chaser family, which was a world of difference from Kelthas.
"Do you know what the truth is?" she spoke. But another protester emerged.
"Your allegations against the prince are false, it is a conspiracy of the tribe, and you reached an agreement with them."
"Give us an explanation right away-the prince cannot betray us."
"Quiet!" Rothema shouted loudly, but it had a counterproductive effect, and the people refuted more and more.
