Evil will not deceive you

Onyxia's plan is very simple, that is, to obtain the greatest benefit for Li Ke.

Whether it was the previous tax-free plan for merchants or the conditions she prepared when she arrived at Stormwind Fortress in the morning and waited for Varian and Bolvar, Onyxia had thought of it herself, not Li Ke's orders.

For Li Ke, friendship means friendship. He will give Varian a lot of things for free to buy the legitimacy of his claim to Western Wilderness. After all, although Varian can't do many things, he wants Li Ke to do the same. It's still very simple.

No matter how miserable he is, he is still a king, and no matter how miserable Stormwind City is, he is still an independent and sovereign country.

Tenaris couldn't be too shameless.

At least not on the surface.

As soon as Varian entered the door, he saw Shi Shiran sitting at the dining table and Katrana looking at the menu. She coughed lightly and sat down on the chair with the help of the attendant.

Then, he saw the food Katrana had ordered in advance.

The toasted bread slices, not to mention a bit burnt, were sprinkled with tomato sauce and garnished with a large piece of sesame seeds on the side.

When Varian saw Sesame, he suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his heart.

If it is cherries, then there are a few big nobles doing the work, and a few cherries are just a few big nobles.

If it were sesame...

That is, everyone works together. At this time, the king had better not be ungrateful, otherwise something will happen that no one wants to happen.

Ms. Presto's reminders were always so simple and crude.

"Miss Katlana..."

Varian tried his best to put on a smile that was sunny and handsome, yet still elegant and polite.

"Sorry, Your Majesty Varian, please call me Ms. Presto."

Onyxia assumed a businesslike attitude, then took out a loaf of bread and placed it in front of Varian's plate.

"My honey says I'm not in perfect shape yet, so I've been eating more lately, and that's all."

Varian looked at the bread sticks on the plate and couldn't help but sigh.

He also knows that it is not easy for Ms. Presto. She has to be responsible to the nobles and him, and she also supports one-fifth of Stormwind City's finances. If she were the king of other countries, now their two children It’s all there.

It was almost time for Anduin to go to the monastery to study.

But he couldn't. The gentle person always lived in his heart, and he once swore to protect Anduin forever.

Because there was once an Anduin who swore to protect him with his own life.

"I know, well, you haven't been doing so well lately, but..."

"No buts."

Ms. Presto sighed, playing the resigned woman.

"My family's fields are deserted enough. As you know, I am not yet the head of Presto. Although I like it here very much, for me, this is not my only destination. Moreover, my father I don’t know if he’s a real person or just a black dragon in disguise, so it’s really hard for me to focus on this right now.”

What she meant was that Varian understood that her family was not alone. Moreover, the strange Sir Prestor was also very interesting. Tenaris's attitude made him unsure whether the Sir Presto who suddenly returned was a black dragon.

But judging from the attitude of His Highness Tenaris, it doesn't seem like it's a black dragon?

Varian still trusts Tenaris's judgment more.

But when it comes to other people's family affairs, he can only do it immediately, and with his knowledge and thoughts, he has no doubt that Ms. Presto in front of him is a black dragon - no one would be stupid enough to use the same trick twice, right?

What's more, the woman in front of me is a kind woman.

"I know, but...well, you know."

Varian was a little ashamed. It was obviously his people's business, but now he wanted to take advantage of the other party's sympathy.

"There's no way I'm going to get nothing, Lord Varian, not now."

Ms. Presto shook her head.

"For so many years, although I got a knife in Stormwind City, the food was basically prepared by me. This is not a good thing."

Varian was even more embarrassed. He twisted his body and tried to make himself look less despicable. While watching, Bolvar's cheeks twitched as he drank silently.

To be honest, he really thought that Varian was not suitable for such an action, but...

But who told this bastard not to listen to him earlier and marry Ms. Katlana home?

Varian, you bastard!

Bolvar, who was dissatisfied with Varian's output in his heart, felt unusually comfortable.

"I, um, maybe you could be a little bolder."

Varian smiled awkwardly and spoke.

"But Your Majesty the King, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you know I don't want your men to betray you again."

Ms. Presto spoke again casually, and Varian was completely silent, because the grain ship was burned because of betrayal.

The betrayal of a guard who had followed him for more than ten years.

Because his family was short of money, he betrayed his honor. When he found the other party, the other party had committed suicide.

Although he died after being hit by thirteen swords from behind, and he led a team of thirteen people, no matter who saw him, they would only say that he committed suicide.

Ms. Presto slowly pulled out some bread sticks, then took out two of them, tapped the middle part with her beautiful fingers, and then handed one of them to Varian.

"After all, no one likes an investment that is destined to fail... Do you think it would be appropriate for me to give you less?"

Varian looked at the bread stick and took it helplessly.

This time it is no longer food. Although a bread stick is still part of the food, it must be exchanged for tax exemption.

"Thirty percent."

Varian broke off a third of the bread.

"It's too much. One achievement is enough. After all, I can only provide one boatload of food."

Ms. Presto's love made Varian sigh. A fleet of food was only an emergency. However, Katrana did not play around with those aristocratic words, which made him relieved.

However, what the other person said next made him stunned.

"It's just that I'm worried, Your Highness Varian, if someone uses a large amount of food in exchange for tax exemption, it will not be a good thing for the Storm Empire."

What she said was also something that worried Varian. After all, even he had to be cautious about giving tax exemptions to big nobles.

That is to say, Ms. Presto in front of her has worked very hard and has given Stormwind City a lot of money in the past few years, otherwise he would not have such thoughts at all.

but……

"Now that things have happened, is there anything else I can care about?"

Varian smiled and shook his head. He roughly guessed Ms. Presto's plan, but he had no choice but to accept it.

"Whoever can feed my people will live well. This is exactly what a king should do. Ms. Presto, you don't need to worry about this."

Although it is poisonous wine.

But it can quench your thirst.
