Volume 6: The World of Rebellion Chapter 293: Glory of Holy Light
"Your Highness Varian, this is where you will rest." The palace attendant extended his hand and introduced. Varian nodded, indicating that it was no problem, and the attendant turned and left.
Varian looked at the residence arranged for him by King Terenas. Lordaeron was a place of perennial peace, which could be easily seen from the layout of the city's buildings. Only the outermost walls of the entire city were relatively solid and well-defended, but the interior of the city was full of life.
The royal palace, in particular, is a complex of magnificent palaces that covers a vast area and has a majestic beauty that Stormwind Fortress does not have. The exquisite decorations and architecture of the palaces make the rock buildings of Stormwind Fortress look pale in comparison.
This is a luxury that can only be enjoyed in a peaceful area that is not threatened by monsters.
Varian sighed, lamenting the ill-fated fate of his kingdom. Suddenly, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes. He paced back and forth in the room without making a sound, and suddenly, he swung a sword towards the corner behind him.
Ding! There was a sound of metal colliding in the air. A scimitar blocked Salamani's attack, and a black figure appeared in the air.
The person's face was covered by a hood, but it was not difficult to tell from her appearance that she was a woman. She was wearing black tight leather armor, and her graceful body looked tight and strong.
Dark Blade Dixi (Shadow Walker): "Don't be nervous, Your Highness Varian. I mean no harm." The woman said, pushing Varian's weapon away with effort and bowing her head. "I am waiting here for you to convey a message - my master wants to see you."
Varian did not lower his guard, "Who is your master?"
"Haha, you'll know when you come. Don't worry, we have no ill will towards you. In fact, my master wants to talk to you about cooperation - about helping Stormwind City restore its country."
As she spoke, the woman's figure flashed and disappeared into the air again.
"Please follow me. It's best not to attract attention."
The voice was walking towards the door. Varian hesitated for a moment, but followed.
He didn't think this was a trick of Terenas. Although the other party had his own plans, precisely because of this, he would not allow anything unexpected to happen to him in the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
Therefore, Varian couldn't help but feel curious about who this "master" was and what he wanted to discuss with him.
The two men walked along the path between the palaces. The woman showed up from time to time to show Varian the way. It was obvious that the woman was very familiar with the terrain here. They walked smoothly all the way and the patrol routes of the guards were perfectly avoided.
Varian walked while observing the surrounding environment. This place still belonged to the area of Lordaeron Royal Palace, which gave him some confidence.
"arrive."
The woman said, but in front of her was a teleportation orb.
He knew how to use this thing, which was usually used for short-distance transmission.
He could feel that the other party had no hostility, and after hesitating for a moment, he still put his hand on it.
A flash of white light appeared, and he found himself in an empty prayer room. A man in golden armor was praying to the shrine of the God of Light.
"Ah, Your Highness Varian, welcome. I'm sorry to meet you under these circumstances."
As the man spoke, he turned around and the person in front of him was shrouded in a layer of golden holy light. His long golden hair was extremely dazzling, and he had fair skin, angular facial features, and looked heroic and gorgeous.
Varian looked at the man in front of him, and a name suddenly popped up in his mind.
"You are Godwin, the Glory of Holy Light?"
The man showed a reserved smile, "I didn't expect His Highness Varian to have heard of me. What an honor."
He said, bowing his head.
Varian was a little surprised, and this person's information kept flashing through his mind.
The Crown Prince of Lordaeron, Prince Godwin, known as the 'Glory of Holy Light', was said to have been blessed by the Holy Light when he was born and was born with the ability to use the Holy Light. Many people suspected that he was favored by a certain god of light and it was even possible that he had the blood of the god of light flowing in his body.
Terenas chose him as the crown prince and trained him vigorously. He also found Archbishop Alonsus Faol to teach him the way of the Holy Light, and Knight-Captain Uther to teach him the art of combat.
Godwin has mastered the art of fighting and the power of Holy Light. He has led the knights of Lordaeron to conquer various places since he was a child. He has been successful in every battle and has established many military exploits and legends...
Varian didn't remember when he heard this information, but he was sure he knew such a person.
He couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed. Only people with a belief in justice could use the Holy Light. Being able to receive the favor of the Holy Light undoubtedly showed that the other person's character was trustworthy.
"Why did you ask me to come here?" he asked with a frown.
Godwin the Light of Light (Crown Prince of Lordaeron): "Let me guess, my father is looking for you to form a marriage alliance with you?"
"Huh, so what?"
"I suppose you didn't agree."
"I have to discuss this important matter with my uncle before making a decision."
"Haha, Your Highness Varian, you don't have to hide anything from me. From your answer, I can see that you are clearly aware of the current situation, which makes it much easier for me to talk to you next. Father is determined to establish the Lordaeron Empire and seize the population and land of Stormwind Kingdom, so marrying you is part of the plan. Once you agree to the marriage, according to his usual practice, you will soon be 'accidentally sacrificed' due to some unfortunate incident."
Varian was a little surprised. He didn't expect the other party to reveal it directly. Shouldn't this kind of thing be kept secret? And you are talking about your father.
Godwin the Light (Crown Prince of Lordaeron): "Don't be surprised, Your Highness Varian. I am different from my father. All he cares about is power and profit. He only wants to gain power through conspiracy and trickery, but that is not what I want. For me, honor and justice are above everything else. I cannot watch him tarnish the honor of the royal family of Lordaeron, let alone lead the Alliance into despair. The fall of Stormwind is a tragedy, a tragedy that could have been avoided. I regret to tell you that it was my father's delay that prevented the Alliance's army from setting out."
Varian felt a little angry. "Why are you telling me this?"
"I want to cooperate with you, Your Highness Varian. If we continue to let our father play political games, I don't know what terrible consequences will happen. It may even cause the Alliance to lose the war, so we must stop this."
Varian looked at him in silence. "How are you going to stop him? Don't forget, he is not only your father, but also your king."
"It's not me who stops him, it's you who stops him."
"Me?" Varian was a little surprised.
Godwin nodded. "Yes, I can see the anger hidden in your heart. Don't you want to avenge His Majesty Llane? Although it was the orcs who killed His Majesty Llane, my father was the one who caused all this to happen. Killing him can be regarded as a just revenge."
Varian couldn't believe it. Was this man crazy? He actually instigated him to kill his father?
"Are you crazy? Would you want to kill your own father?"
"Haha, it seems that you don't know much about the royal family, Varian . Maybe you have a very close relationship with your father, but in most royal families, there is no warmth between family members. There are only conspiracies and tricks. For the sake of power, people will become cold-blooded and cruel, even to their own relatives.
Of course, this is not the reason why I did this. I did it entirely for the victory of the alliance and the honor of my family..."
Varian interrupted Godwin and said, "I won't do it."
Godwin smiled, "Don't rush to refuse. In fact, I don't need you to agree immediately, or even at all. I'm just giving you a suggestion. If you can get rid of Terenas, once I become king, I will attribute all this to the orc assassins who murdered my father. In this way, the refugee policy of Storm Kingdom will not be affected in any way.
Even thanks to the sacrifice of His Majesty Llane and my father, the people of Lordaeron and Stormwind will unite and fight side by side to defeat the Horde.
In this way, I can help you restore your country. Don't question my character. I can swear in the name of Holy Light."
Varian still found it hard to believe. This was too good to be true. "Are you really going to do this?"
"Yes, although murdering one's own father is not a noble act, for the future of the alliance and the safety of the people, I will never let him make the same mistake again. You don't have to agree. I will create conditions for you. If you decide to do it when the time comes, then go ahead. I will take care of everything, and our agreement will automatically take effect at that time.
Of course, if you can't make up your mind and don't have the courage, then just pretend that our conversation today doesn't exist.
I will continue to be the Crown Prince of Lordaeron, the 'Glory of Holy Light'. As for you... hehe, I don't know how my father will arrange for you. I can only wish you good luck when the time comes."
Godwin's words were so flawless that Varian couldn't even say no.
He sighed and turned away.
Looking at Varian's departing back, Godwin smiled confidently.
"Will he do it?" asked Black Knife Di Xi.
"Yes, he will."
Black Blade Di Xi was a little puzzled, "Are you so sure? I saw that he was very hesitant."
Godwin did not answer, but took out a red strawberry from his pocket like a magic trick, "Do you want to eat this strawberry?"
The red strawberries are juicy and look very tempting.
Black Blade Di Xi shrugged, "It's okay."
"So what now?" Godwin said, and suddenly leaned down, put his arms around Black Knife Dixi's waist, and rubbed the strawberry in his hand slowly against her lips, his movements were frivolous and teasing.
Black Knife Di Xi was so amused by him that a blush appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but bite it.
"Look, as long as the food is brought to the mouth, when everything is within reach, no one can resist the temptation. All I have to do is create the right conditions for him.
Although the princes of Alterac were a bit rough and their acting skills were terrible, their plan was indeed simple and effective, and it gave me a lot of inspiration. Why must the original plot develop? As long as Terenas dies, the Kingdom of Lordaeron will be mine!"
