Chapter 52

When Syra returned home, it was well past midnight, and the Convocation meeting was over. 

She was irked that she couldn't return in time to await Varrus in the kitchen, and decided to be extra tough the next time she saw the Undead Crown Prince. 

Tenri...

Chapter 51

Varrus had received word that his wife was going out, to which he was immensely jealous. 

Whilst he was forced to sit here at this council meeting, she was able to get some fresh air, and pursue her flower pressing hobby. Lucky girl. 

“Well Vandercros...

Chapter 50

Just outside the Royal Palace, within a giant warehouse filled with massive shelves and pallets full of goods, Pathaleon the Calculator, chief seneschal, and majordomo for the Sunstrider family was hard at work. 

Between counting foodstuffs, ammunition, potions, and a hundre...

Chapter 49

(Just Before Syra Attacked) 

“The scent has led us to the Royal Palace, it would seem. Makes one wonder if the Prince had a hand in all of this.” Halduron gestured towards the stalwart pair of Spellbreakers guarding the front gates. 

Chapter 48

While Varrus was busy with his meeting, Syra was excitedly going over recipes in the kitchen. 

Syra had painstakingly gathered the seasonings required for cookies the night before, and the results spoke for themselves. 

Every time she saw him lick some ...

Chapter 47

“Now that we have addressed the immediate security concerns of this nation, it is time to focus our efforts on reconstructing Silvermoon. Our food supply is secure for now, and in fact, we have an overabundance, however, it is building materials I am most concerned with.” Varrus said, then ch...

Chapter 46

“There is much to get through, so as the First Seat, I have decided to set an agenda to keep ourselves focused. If you'll open your folders, you'll see on the front page a list of topics for us to discuss.” Varrus said, and pointed at the sheets of paper he had handed out.

Chapter 45

Once Varrus had sorted everything out with Kael, he had rushed back home to set up the meeting with the Convocation. 

He was currently relaxing on the veranda overlooking the square in front of his home. 

Deciding to enjoy some starlight, Varrus had set...

Chapter 44

The entrance to the maze was perfectly groomed into a complex geometrical pattern. Flower beds, statues, benches and fountains adorned the landscape to tastefully create a scenic, small park vibe. 

The rain had halted due to a small parting of the clouds, allowing a faint st...

Chapter 43

Varrus found himself at a corner of the Royal Palace, on a terrace overlooking a hedge maze. 

Light rain drizzled down upon his position, but enchanted umbrellas diverted the direction of the rain, and had it run off into the gutters, leaving him dry.

Chapter 42

Kael’Thas sat in his father's study, and idly toyed with the broken blade of his ancestors, Felo'melorn. 

The room was spartan, depicting a portrait of his grandfather, and...

Chapter 41

The dungeons of Silvermoon were dark such that very little light pierced these hallowed halls. 

Dim green glow stones dotted the ceiling, providing enough visibility so that one could see but a few inches in front of their face. 

The aura of magic was s...

Chapter 40

Gardener Syra, Varrus concluded, was an attractive girl. 

Wearing simple blue overalls, and little else, her sun-kissed skin was exposed at all the right angles. 

If he wasn't on such a tight schedule for the day, he would've pounced on her right then a...

Chapter 39

In was a cool, partly cloudy day outside, and Syra was happily cultivating the land in the garden behind their estate. 

Hands covered in dirt, she loosely spread some bloodthistle seeds, then watered them with an enchanted pale that contained a seemingly endless spring of wa...

Chapter 38

As Varrus led Helios to a secluded room, and set up the enchantment table, he began to go over what he had accomplished so far, and couldn't be more proud of his ultimate defensive weapon. 

All would bow down before Varrus Vandercross’ ingenious invention: 

...

Chapter 37

Within the ruins of Silvermoon, a group of 52 rangers were systematically clearing the Undead block by block. 

Instituting gorilla tactics, they silently sniped lone zombies, or picked off small clusters minimizing the sound of combat as much as possible.

Chapter 36

After his morning training, and shared breakfast with Syra, it was time to get down to business. 

Alone in his office, Varrus planned out his itinerary for the day. 

First things first, he wanted to level up his Smithing skill, and begin the reconstruct...

Chapter 35

There was no rest for the wicked, and the grind never stopped. Teleporting with Syra back home, Varrus forsook sleep, and went straight to grinding the Master level Mana Stones once he tucked her in bed. 

Handing out the mana enriched crystals like they were candy on Hallowe...

Diplomacy 101: Chapter 34

Perhaps it spoke to the wild nature of the last few days, but no one really seemed to care about the massive influx of Fel energy poisoning the atmosphere, or the attack on Silvermoon. 

No, the damned smug Elves concerned themselves more with petty drama than danger to their...

Diplomacy 101: Chapter 33

AN: Going forward, High Elves will be referred to as Blood Elves per Kael’s rebranding. 

The crowd in Sunstrider Square was electric. 

It was well past midnight, yet tens of thousands had refused to turn in for rest.

Diplomacy 101: Chapter 32

While the Elves of Quel'Thalas were busy holding their ceremony, the world did not come to a standstill, and events continued to unfold. 

Within the burning ruins of Dalaran, a portal linked directly to the Twisting Nether burst into existence. 

From wi...

Diplomacy 101: Chapter 31

Dusk was approaching Silvermoon city, and the lights, and ornaments hung along the side of the road brightly lit up the main street like Christmas in New York. 

The entire surviving population had gathered at the gate, and were slowly marching toward Sunstrider Square (the s...

Diplomacy 101: Chapter 30

Meanwhile, in the dark recesses of an alleyway, Thaladred the Darkener was enduring the strangest day of his life. 

Sitting across from him at a well decorated table was the girl who defeated him in a duel. 

The girl who humiliated him in front of all o...

Diplomacy 101: Chapter 29

Lor'Themar came at Varrus with slow, steady strokes, yet each of them contained power and precision. 

Varrus twitched, as he wasn't accustomed to wielding a sword beyond the most rudimentary of maneuvers. He then raised his sword as he was forced to defend himself. 

Diplomacy 101: Chapter 28

Entering the training ground, Varrus witnessed a powerful, shirtless Lor'Themar twist in midair, dodging three arrows, and then jump over a contraption blasting a jet of flames. 

Twirling his twin swords, Lor'Themar flung one into an approaching golem, piercing through its a...

Diplomacy 101: Chapter 27

While Varrus made his way toward Lor'Themar's office, he thought about what exactly the Convocation of Silvermoon was all about as a governmental entity. 

Having briefly read up on it, and comparing the knowledge he inherited, he thought he had a decent idea on how the gover...

Diplomacy 101: Chapter 26

Marching with the entirety of House Vandercross, Varrus was dressed to the nines. 

His body was perfectly groomed, and manicured. It felt weird to be this pretty, but when everyone else around him looked like a supermodel, at least he didn't stand out. 

Diplomacy 101: Chapter 25

Standing on the balcony overlooking the square in front of his mansion, Varrus clung to the railings, overlooking the hundreds of people who chose to follow him. 

Each of them were dressed in long, flowing robes, or equipped in armor. 

Standing behind V...

Diplomacy 101: Chapter 24

Waking up before the crack of dawn, Varrus sat at his work desk in his room, and tiredly went through his routine of crafting more Mana Stones, and grinding out levels. 

He needed to create enough to support the population, prepare for emergency situations, and stoc...

Diplomacy 101: Chapter 23

AN: FYI this chapter is 90% hentai, but the end of the chapter is critical plot knowledge. 

Varrus found himself all but swept off his feet after the end of the conflict by Syra. 

He had wanted to make inroads with the powerful players,...
