Chapter 2 Parents' Discord Relying on Children to Provoke
Alex Barov, the Earl of Alterac, is young, rich, handsome, and has a large army, but he does not have a rebellious heart.
Janis Barov, the junior sister of the Archmage Anton Danis, the winner of the Star and Moon Wreath of the Violet City, the capital of the Kingdom of Dalaran, the culprit of Anton Danis' lifelong unmarried life, young, beautiful, and a master of illusion magic,
But there is no heart that encourages her husband to rebel.
Carlos Barov, as the eldest son of such a wealthy couple, has a rebellious heart. He simply believes that everything can be changed as long as his father becomes the king.
Eight-year-old Carlos attended the birth christening ceremony of Prince Arthas of Lordaeron with his parents. After the grand dinner, the family rested in a villa near the Royal District of Lordaeron.
In the master bedroom, sister Ilucia and mother Janis were teasing their newborn brother Wilton, their father was testing his eldest brother Alex's homework, and Carlos was sitting aside in a daze.
Tenaris Menethil II is a very charismatic king. Carlos estimates that his majesty is at least +15. If he hadn't known that he was responsible for the family's decline in the future, Carlos would probably be a fool himself.
Pink. Justice, majesty, kindness, wisdom, this is the first impression of Tenaris.
"Lucen, please go check it out. I have something I want to talk to my father about."
As Alex Barov's personal butler, Lucen Sackhoff did not act in response to the eldest young master's words, but looked at the head of the family, Alex.
"Go ahead."
After receiving the master's permission, Lu Sen bowed, closed the door, and stood guard outside.
"My son, what do you want to say to your father?" Alex loosened the single-rimmed glasses on his right eye, put his second son Alex down from his lap, and turned around to face his eldest son.
"Child, when you were born, the forests of Lordaeron were whispering this name - Arthas. Child, I will proudly watch you grow up day by day and become the embodiment of justice. You must remember that we
The Menethil family has always ruled this country with wisdom and strength. I also believe that you will use your great power with caution. But the real victory, my son, is to inspire the hearts of the people. One day, my life
We will reach the end, and you will be crowned king."
Carlos tried to use the deep and rich voice of Tenaris to interpret the words he said when his son was born, but the undeveloped voice of an eight-year-old child and Carlos's deliberately pretending to be deep made his father, mother and sister laugh.
"Nice performance, Carlos. I thought you were only interested in dancing with knives and guns, but it turns out you have a talent for acting." Alex praised his eldest son without hesitation.
"Father, I'm jealous!" Carlos' words made Alex stunned for a moment.
"Menethil II was a great king, but when I looked at him, he slowly became like his father." Carlos paused and continued, "My father told me that the mountains of Alterac
My name echoes. The Barov family has never ruled the country with violence. The real kings bring prosperity and stability to the people. One day, the crown of the Barov dynasty will be on my head. Except for Leon
Uncle, father is the legitimate heir of Arathor!."
"enough!"
Alex became furious.
"Lucen!"
"Yes, master, your slave is here." Luxem Sackhoff pushed open the door and entered.
"I want to know who has been close to Carlos recently." Alex ordered.
"Yes, Master." Luxem Sackhoff closed the door and left.
"Honey, you scared the baby." Janis comforted the infant Wilton and blamed her husband.
"Who told you these words, Carlos." Alex calmed down, walked up to Carlos, squatted down to look level with him, and put his hands on Carlos' shoulders.
"It's books," Carlos replied.
"Books?" Alex didn't know why.
"Noble Blood and Family Coat of Arms" Carlos continued to answer.
"That book?" Alex was even more confused. How could a popular science book for a nobleman make his son say such radical words.
"The Wrynn family is the direct descendant of Emperor Thoradin, and the ancestor of the Barov family is the biological brother of Emperor Thoradin." Carlos answered.
"Then what." Alex looked at his son with understanding.
"The descendants of emperors should also be emperors. Why do you want to kneel down to the upstart Aiden Perenold? The real king of Alterac should be you, not the bald man on the top of the mountain." Carlos said out of the corner of his eye.
When he saw Alex looking at him with stars in his eyes, he suddenly understood and looked at his father with the same eyes.
"Don't insult a king. Aiden is only bald, not completely bald." Unable to bear the look in his son's eyes, Alex stood up and returned to the chair to sit down.
"Carlos, you are too young to understand the true meaning of politics. If you join the Kingdom of Alterac, your family's tribute and tax burden will be the lowest. And the king is not happier than the nobles, such as the bald... our king Aiden.
Alex understood that those words were his son's own thoughts and relaxed. Just now he thought someone was plotting against Carlos.
"But you are still not the king. My father is the best!" Carlos argued anxiously.
"Carlos, if I don't agree, Aiden's order cannot go out of the mountains, but my order Aiden must seriously consider. In addition to the crown, your father almost has the rights of a king, and the Barov family does not have to burden the country with a heavy burden."
Expenditure, joining the Kingdom of Alterac is mutually beneficial to the Barov family and the Perenold family. They have gained reputation and we have benefited. However, leaving the Kingdom of Alterac for no reason is a heavy blow to the family's reputation.
.If we stand on our own, and the name of a traitor cannot escape, who will associate with us? If we join the Kingdom of Lordaeron, there will be a more serious problem-inheritance tax. Only the Kingdom of Alterac
There is no inheritance tax, my son." After Alex finished speaking, Carlos realized that he had underestimated his father and the people of this era.
Before, I simply thought that as long as the Barov family became the royal family of Alterac, they would be able to escape from the future liquidation. Now that I think about it, it was too naive. As expected, I just took advantage of the foresight, and I am an idiot politically.
"Don't be discouraged, my son, you are only eight years old. When dad was eight years old, he only thought about how to eat, drink and have fun. But your performance now makes dad feel embarrassed." Alex walked to Carlos again.
Beside him, he patted his son on the shoulder.
Without a good mentality, how can one be a qualified time-travelling person? Carlos's frustration only lasted a short while.
It's time to complete daily tasks.
"dad."
"Um?"
"Why doesn't the fragrance on your body belong to my mother?"
"Um!"
"Honey, I think we need to have a nice talk, Ilucia, and take care of your brother."
"Yes mother."
"Brother, you are so awesome."
"Dear, please listen to my explanation."
In the chaos, Carlos looked down at the panel.
