Chapter 105: Unrest in Alterac

Valeera had been walking along the wall with her back bent. Suddenly, she heard footsteps and immediately fell to the ground. Her black hood merged with the black floor tiles.

"Okay, after one more round, we should take a break."

It turned out to be a patrol team.

"Hey, captain, where are you going to play later?"

The patrol captain said, "It must be the 'Pink Light'."

The soldiers around smiled knowingly. What is the "Pink Light"? Valeera, who was lying on the ground, was very curious.

Then the captain said, "Everyone should go. Everyone will go soon."

Someone who seemed to be the deputy captain said, "I won't go with you."

The captain was a little unhappy: "Why, you still want to go to the Golden Rose? What's so good about it? It's so expensive. Isn't there women in the Pink Light as well?"

It turned out to be that kind of place too! Valeera buried her head deeper.

"It's different. The women in the Pink Light..."

The captain raised his voice: "What's the difference? You look down on those 'pheasants' in the Pink Light? How noble can the women in the Golden Rose be? They are all women? They all have three holes. What new tricks can they come up with?"

"Hahahaha" The soldiers around laughed loudly. The deputy captain was still making excuses, but was directly dragged by the captain to "experience" the charm of the Pink Light.

After they walked away, Valeera got up and curled her lips. Not all people in the Golden Rose are women. Once, Master Vashj took her to the Golden Rose to "study". The "teachers" there are all kinds of species. In the master's words, those creatures are collectively called non-human mothers, but only senior members can see those non-human mothers.

Nothing happened along the way. Valeera entered Perenolde's residence smoothly. The few people who occasionally appeared in the residence were avoided in advance by the crows hanging upside down on the ceiling. The two armored guards at the door were a bit troublesome.

The crows on the ceiling quietly rubbed against the top of the two armored guards, raised their tails and sprayed colorless gas. The two armored guards were about to fall down because of the swaying gas. Valeera put on a gas mask and instantly stepped between the two armored guards to support them, preventing them from falling to the ground and making a sound.

Gently pushing open the door, Bayrao went in first to investigate the situation. There was only an old servant who was sleeping inside. Valeera walked in quietly, and the Regicide appeared in its hand. The blade pierced the flesh, and the Regicide harvested the king's life for the first time. After confirming that Perenolde had lost vital signs, Valeera put away the dagger and gave Bayrao a look. Bayrao landed on the old servant's head.

"Who!" The old servant woke up from his sleep with a start. He saw Valeera at once. The weak candlelight shone on Perenolde's body, and the blood had already coagulated.

"Help! There's an assassin!" the old servant shouted. Valeera rushed up and wrestled with him. "Inadvertently," Valeera's hood was torn off by him, and the logo on the clothes inside was exposed. The old servant stared in shock. Valeera kicked the old servant against the wall. Just as she was about to kill him, other guards in the residence rushed in. Valeera and Bayrabbit escaped through the window and disappeared into the night.

"Your Majesty!" The captain of the guards shouted in shock. "Go call a doctor!"

The deputy captain helped the old servant up. The old servant seemed to have a mental problem and kept saying "Impossible... Impossible"

"What's impossible?" the deputy captain asked.

The old servant held up the torn cloak, his hands were shaking: "This was torn off the assassin, the assassin's clothes were embroidered with royal emblems!"

The captain of the guards was shocked: "You are not mistaken!"

"Impossible!" The old servant yelled, "I have served Perenolde for forty years! How could I mistake their family emblem!"

"This..." The captain of the guards knew why the old servant kept saying "impossible". Not everyone can have the royal emblem. In Alterac now, only Perenolde himself, the prince, and their servants are qualified to use this pattern. However, the prince does not look like someone who can do such a thing.

A guard rolled his eyes twice, and quietly ran out when no one was paying attention.

"Are you telling the truth?"

It turned out that the guard was Perenolde's nephew, and he came out to tell his nephew what happened in his residence.

After receiving the guard's affirmative answer, the nephew clapped his hands excitedly: "Great! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Go back and continue to pay attention to the development of the matter, and report to me immediately if there is any situation!"

"Yes!" The guard returned to Perenolde's residence, and the nephew summoned all the nobles who supported him to discuss countermeasures overnight.

At the morning meeting the next day, General Haas announced the unfortunate news to everyone. After the mourning ended, the nephew took the lead in the attack.

"Your Highness, please explain why an assassin with a royal emblem would appear in His Majesty's room?"

The prince was also furious. He already knew what happened last night. His first reaction was that it was a frame-up, and the most likely person was the guy in front of him! The prince had nothing to say to him.

A hoarse voice came out from the prince's burned body: "There's nothing to explain, I didn't do that!"

The nephew's smile was a little playful: "I remember that Your Highness once said some bad things about Your Majesty, and even hoped that Your Majesty would die. You planned this in advance..."

"Bullshit!" The prince pointed at him angrily. "Even tigers don't eat their own kind, how could I do such a morally corrupt thing! This is clearly a frame-up! It's a play directed and performed by someone who thinks he is behind in the succession line!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't spit blood on me. Everyone knows that I didn't intend to join the fight for the throne. It was the recommendation of the nobles that allowed me to stand here. How could I do such a thing?"

The prince stared at him: "Then you should withdraw from the fight for the throne now, otherwise everyone will just think you are framing me!"

"I won't withdraw until your ugly face is exposed."

The argument between the two people went off the track and became more and more intense. The two groups of people completely tore their faces apart, and the succession to the throne eventually turned into civil strife. The prince, his nephew, and the nobles behind them mobilized all the forces they could. Except for the capital city of Alterac, which was under the control of Haas and his army, wars broke out in other places, and Stromgarde and Gilneas also appeared in the war.

Terenas of Lordaeron thought this was a good opportunity to control Alterac, but he did not want to support either of these two people. The nobleman in front of him was a better candidate.
