This year's Valentine's Day, as one of the consecutive activities for the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Alliance, was made particularly grand.
In addition to the nobles who had their own dates, Stormwind Kingdom also organized a grand Valentine's Day ball in Stormwind Fortress to give couples a chance to show their affection and also to give singles an opportunity.
Since the leaders of the conservative and reform factions went out on a private "date", this time it was not as awkward as if each faction had a separate dance.
With the expectation of peace talks and the mediation of the neutral knights, the overall atmosphere was quite good.
Although the theme was Valentine's Day, there were knights in full armor performing war operas everywhere.
This is a chaotic era. The continuous wars have changed people's mindsets. The status of warriors and "professionals" has been infinitely improved. Almost every ignorant girl, under the influence of knight novels and government propaganda, longs for her man to be a great man who can protect her.
So war operas are popular.
Near Countess Anrestor's manor, there is also such a large-scale stage play, which shows how the Stormwind warriors bravely fight against the evil Naga brainwashed by the Burning Legion in Azshara. Of course, the Naga is played by a male Naga belonging to the Stormwind.
In Stormwind Fortress, when the atmosphere was at its most heated, Bolvar suddenly stood on the podium, and under the spotlight of the magic lamp, clapped his hands and asked everyone to be quiet.
"Now, please allow me to perform a 'Valentine's Day Special' for everyone!"
A Valentine's Day special?
Has even Bolvar, who is always so serious, come to his senses?
The nobles were very curious.
The next second, waves of uproar arose among the crowd of nobles.
Because, in the huge magic mirror of 10 meters by 10 meters, there were Duke and Countess Katrina rowing the boat!
"Ha! Is Duke Fortaggen going to show us a sensual live broadcast?" Some nobles burst into laughter.
When everyone saw the beautiful countess adjust her crossed legs and almost expose her absolute territory, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly reached its climax.
No one knows why Bolvar is broadcasting this live, but everyone's gossip heart is burning!
Does this mean that after the signing of the peace treaty, the two sides immediately came together for a political deal?
Some young nobles even started whistling.
The next moment, the scene changed, and Duke suddenly said, "Do you know what fear is?"
Um?
In the ballroom of Stormwind Fortress, every noble felt that something was wrong.
No one knew what Duke did to Countess Katrana. They only felt that the Countess's face was blank for a moment. It was a very short moment, not even half a second.
The next scene showed Duke flashing behind the Countess and piercing her beautiful chest with a slender golden sword.
"Ah!" That was the scream of the female nobles.
"What is that bastard Duke doing!?" That was the roar of the male nobles!
Not to mention the conservatives who couldn't accept it, even most of the knights clenched their fists and glared at Bolvar.
Everyone had the same question in their eyes, the same angry questioning - Bolvar, what do you mean by this? Are you letting us watch a despicable murder and political infighting at this time?
Passed!
This is definitely over the top!
Only the most despicable nobles would resort to such a shameful method as murder!
Damn it!
We were wrong about Edmund Duke!
What great hero of the Alliance! ?
He is a complete and utter despicable villain!
Having lost the political struggle, he did not even dare to rebel. Instead, he used such despicable means to murder his political enemies, and targeted such a beautiful woman?
Duke he...he...he...
Originally, an angry storm was gathering. If it accumulated for a few more seconds, the angry volcano would erupt in the ballroom of Stormwind Fortress.
It was at this moment that the style of painting suddenly changed.
Countess Katrana Anrestor, who was extremely beautiful in the eyes of countless people, actually began to deform in the next moment.
That beautiful face suddenly turned into a black, horny lizard face full of keratinous bumps; those beautiful, smooth arms that always maintained a graceful curve suddenly turned into strong and terrifying giant claws; behind that tempting backless dress, a pair of huge bat wings that seemed able to break through a cave appeared.
"Edmund Duke—"
That was the roar of a wounded beast!
That was also the roar of the perfect Countess in their eyes!
This was not only heard from the sound transmitted by the magic mirror, but also from the roar coming from the Mirror Lake far outside the city, at least five or six kilometers away from here.
It was the exact same sound.
Not only them, the entire Stormwind City heard this extremely terrifying curse.
At some point, Bolvar had put on half a set of armor, and the servant beside him was helping him put on the shoulder armor.
He suddenly placed a heavy two-handed sword on the ground and shouted, "Everyone listen! The black dragon princess Onyxia disguised herself as Countess Katrana Anrestor and infiltrated the kingdom, intending to subvert Stormwind Kingdom and even the entire Alliance. The great regent Edmund Duke has led various powerful men to besiege her. All subjects loyal to Stormwind Kingdom and His Majesty Wrynn listen to my orders - arrest all the accomplices of the Countess immediately! Kill all the guards and servants under Countess Anrestor, they are all transformed from dragons!"
"Wow!"
There were screams, flapping sounds, and the clanging of weapons.
This is no longer the peaceful era of 20 years ago. Even at a large-scale ball, the knights' swords would at least be placed on the sword rack at the edge of the ball.
At Bolvar's command, even the knights who had not received any prior knowledge of the order immediately turned around and rushed to the sword rack to take back their weapons.
Over there, realizing that the plot had been exposed, a dozen guys disguised as low-ranking nobles began to attack. They suddenly transformed back into tall dragons and half-dragons, and with a round of claws, they did kill quite a few nobles around them. Unfortunately, most of them were conservatives.
The nobles couldn't help but scream when they saw the nobles who were chatting with them just a moment ago turned into dragon people and turned their companions into several pieces of corpses.
"Ah—ah—ah—ah—"
The doors of the ballroom on all directions suddenly opened, and several elite teams led by paladins rushed in from all directions and charged towards the few dragon people.
The dance hall that was a warm and romantic moment before turned into a slaughterhouse the next moment.
After killing a giant dragonman who was at least four meters tall with one sword, Bolvar finally realized Duke's good intentions - just a dozen dragonmen had already caused Stormwind Fortress to be in chaos. If Onyxia, the person in charge, was still here, Stormwind Fortress would probably have to be rebuilt again, and who knows how many people would die.
