LOL: I'm a bad prince in Demacia

Chapter 238 Hot pot is the god of winter

The two returned to the living room.

Katerina had already tidied up the room and walked out, just in time to meet Fiona head-on.

"Nice meeting." Fiona looked at the red-haired Katerina and greeted her.

She has already learned from Lu Qi that Katerina is his new maid at the border.

"first meet."

Katerina replied, looking at Fiona, she could clearly feel the impressive aura of the woman in front of her.

Her intuition told her that Fiona was also a very powerful person.

At the moment, Fiona glanced at Katerina's exquisite face, and then glanced at Lu Qi who was sitting on the sofa calmly.

Lu Qi, who was drinking hot tea, felt an inexplicable coolness flashing behind his back, and he sat there as motionless as a mountain, not wanting to look back at all.

It was mid-afternoon.

Ask Katerina to comment on the atmosphere in the room, and her assessment is that it is no different from that in Hill City.

Very slow, for some reason, she always feels that the time here has become very slow.

Unlike in Noxus, where every second counts, everyone is moving like a wheel.

Demacia didn't know if this was the case, but she had been in contact with Lu Qi for so long, she was sure that this guy was definitely not.

Obviously this guy looks so young, but the way he lives, doesn't have the vitality of a young man at all.

It's not that this kind of life is bad, it's just that Katerina is still not used to it.

At this time, Lux, who was lying in front of the fireplace, sat up, her eyes lit up as if remembering something, and she quickly found a chessboard.

Since he was going to fight overseas, he didn't bring the chessboard with him.

Seeing it now, Lacus misses it a lot. She looked at Katerina with a smile: "You must have never played backgammon before, are you interested in playing two games?"

When Katerina heard the words, she looked at it with some interest, walked up to it, sat down and asked, "What's the gameplay?"

"It's very simple, horizontal and vertical, as long as the same color falls on these points, five consecutive points can be connected to form a line to win."

Lux enthusiastically explained the gameplay.

Lu Qi glanced over there, then looked away, too lazy to pay attention.

In fact, this girl's chess skill is not bad, it is higher than the average level, after all, she has been playing for so long, but this guy has a special liking for cruel dishes.

The main thing is that it won't take long for her to be abused, her chess skills will soon surpass her, and she will be on par again.

The backgammon game over there has begun.

Fiona looked at Kashina and asked, "I went to the border, are you practicing swordsmanship?"

Kashina nodded, her eyes lit up: "I practice every day, Miss Jianji, do you want to see my progress?"

Fiona smiled lightly and got up, walking towards the backyard: "Then come."

The two went to the backyard, and Bobby also followed to watch the excitement.

Sona sat there quietly all the time, cultivating her piano skills.

Sitting in the living room, you can still hear her playing the piano, just like the leisurely and relaxing songs in the karaoke hall at dusk, the ears are quite enjoyable.

Lying on the sofa, Lu Qi thought that Quinn should have received the news of his return, and he didn't know where he was at the moment.

While thinking, there was a burst of footsteps outside, and after a while, Quinn walked in.

After a while, her demeanor seemed much calmer.

After seeing Lu Qi, Quinn's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Your Highness."

Looking at her, Lu Qi also had a smile on his face: "I was thinking about you just now."

"I've heard about His Highness's overseas affairs. It's amazing."

In Quinn's eyes, he never concealed his admiration for Lu Qi, and it was a pity that he couldn't go with Lu Qi this time when he said this.

"It's nothing serious, just wiped out a wave of Noxus."

Lu Qi waved his hand modestly.

Katerina, who was studying backgammon, twitched her lips. As a Noxian, she felt quite complicated when she heard that the Noxus army was wiped out and was taken as a pretense by others.

Ugh.

Sighing leisurely in her heart, Katerina turned her attention back to the chessboard. This backgammon is quite interesting.

Lu Qi stood up, walked outside and said, "Let's go outside and talk."

"Ah."

Quinn followed.

The two came to the front yard and sat down.

Lu Qi asked, "Did you find anything?"

"I found quite a lot." Quinn thought for a while, and continued: "Let's talk about Russell Chambers first. Now he lives alone in a place, but Stewart often goes there. So I didn't stay for long, and I will leave in about half an hour, and I should be discussing some things."

Lu Qi nodded slightly, but continued to listen without making a sound.

Quinn continued: "Also, among the nobles who secretly helped Queen Mellie leave the capital, there seems to be the shadow of the Chambers family. However, there are too few clues about this, and I haven't found out more. information."

"The Chambers Family"

Lu Qi pondered for a while.

This is also an upper-class noble in the capital. Russell is Stuart's uncle and one of the previous noble representatives.

It was also the most powerful among the nobles who opposed Jarvan III's establishment of a heir for Melly.

But he had abdicated many years ago, and Stewart was his successor.

If you want to know more details back then, I'm afraid the only way is to ask Russell face-to-face.

This is information that Quinn cannot investigate.

This matter seems to be urgent, Lu Qi knows that the third side is also investigating the matter of the year, if he thinks, he should have summoned Russell.

Seeing that Lu Qi recovered from his thoughts, Quinn continued: "During this time, I also paid special attention to Eldred. While he was maintaining his daily work, I found that he was in contact with several noble families. So, I paid attention to those nobles, and found that they seem to hide mages. And Eldred's role is to help them hide these mages."

It is ridiculous to say that the head of the Demon Seeker's corps helped the nobles take the initiative to hide the mage.

His duty is logically to arrest all mages.

But if it is to be true, then the dungeon of the king's capital probably has more mages locked up, and there are many noble heirs among them.

Whoever is in charge of this matter may have to turn a blind eye to it.

In fact, looking at it this way, Jarvan III's proposal to pardon the mage is the best solution.

But not a single person stood up to oppose it.

Except for some old-fashioned conservatives, there must be some people with ulterior motives mixed in.

Lu Qi pondered for a second, then asked: "During this time, have you found anyone acting suspiciously?"

After the words fell, Quinn's eyes showed a hint of puzzlement.

Lu Qi also knew that it was indeed a bit wrong to ask this way, so he thought for a while: "Or, in contact with these families, new faces?"

When Quinn heard this, he seriously recalled it for a few seconds before shaking his head: "I didn't find any suspicious new faces."

"A Noxian assassin has come to us."

So Lu Qi said slowly: "It's impossible for him to sneak into the capital from abroad all the way, either through special means, or..."

Quinn is a smart person, so she naturally knew what Lu Qi wanted to say, she nodded: "I see, Your Highness, I will pay attention to this person next."

Lu Qi looked at her: "Your task remains the same, continue to help me keep an eye on them, you have worked hard during this time."

Quinn smiled: "It's not hard work, it's what I've always wanted to do to help His Highness share his worries."

She really didn't find it hard.

After chatting with Quinn for a while, the sky had already darkened.

At this time, it was approaching dusk, and it was getting dark quickly in winter, Lu Qi also felt a little hungry.

He got up and was ready to start cooking.

If you want to say what you want to eat most now, Lu Qi thinks about it, and it is hot pot.

This winter, it was the last time I ate hot pot, and then I set off to go abroad.

When I come back this time, I must eat more good food.

And the hot pot is also convenient to make. All the utensils from last time are there. Ignite the fire and prepare a little base material. When the pot is hot, you can start the show.

After arranging for Urna to go outside to purchase ingredients, Lu Qi began to prepare.

When Urna came back, he processed the ingredients and started to heat up the pot.

After a while, the hot pot was already steaming hot, and the rising steam seemed to dispel the coldness of winter.

Same as last time, half spicy and half clear soup.

The spicy seasoning prepared by Lu Qi is absolutely rich in taste, fragrant and spicy.

Soon, several girls from the house and the backyard were attracted one by one.

When everyone gathered in front of the hot pot and looked at the bright red spicy soup, they suddenly remembered the last time.

Looking at it at this time, I am afraid and at the same time want to eat.

Katerina didn't know this, looking at the spicy hotpot with strong aroma, she was really hungry to be honest.

Watching Lu Qi put the ingredients into the pot, and when he said it was ready to eat after a while, he couldn't wait.

Seeing this, Lux still reminded him kindly: "Be careful, this is ruthless."

"The last thing I'm afraid of is spicy food."

Katerina nodded, with a confident smile on the corner of her mouth, very disdainful in her heart.

joke.

She, Katerina, is not even afraid of poison, but how can she be afraid of spicy food?

Glancing at the spicy dip Lu Qi made, she directly made an extra spicy version.

Soon, I picked up a ball, dipped it in the dipping sauce, and put it in my mouth.

The hot meatballs entered the mouth, causing her to take a few breaths. The meatballs rolled in her mouth, spreading the fragrant spicy sauce, and then biting down, a delicious taste spread.

At this moment, her pair of bright green eyes also lit up all of a sudden, and she couldn't help but take another look at Lu Qi.

She knew that this guy made the meatballs. She saw him busy in the kitchen for a long time, but she didn't expect it to be so delicious.

This should be made of shrimp meat, and some other things were added, and it was made into such a white and round ball.

One bite, you can taste the rich aroma of fresh shrimp, mixed with the aroma of spicy soup, it is so delicious that it is addictive.

After following this guy for so long, it was the first time that Katerina knew that this guy could even cook.

This ball directly whetted Katerina's appetite, and her chopsticks sank into the spicy soup again and again.

Compared with her direct shot at the spicy soup, the other girls who have experienced it once are now alternating sides.

If you are too spicy, you can eat some clear soup ingredients first, and when you want to eat, you can put a chopstick in the spicy pot.

Even so, in this great winter, they all had pretty faces flushed, dripping with sweat from the spicy fragrance, and there was no chill in their bodies.

Hot pot is indeed the god of winter.

At this moment, they sighed from the bottom of their hearts.

After a while, looking at Katerina again, her forehead was already covered with sweat, and she began to hiss unconsciously, her face turned red, and her cold eyes seemed a little dazed.

Obviously, it's hotness coming up.

At this moment, she felt her tongue was numb, her throat seemed to be on fire, and even her stomach felt like it was on fire.

It's not that she has never eaten spicy food, but she just found out today that the food she ate before was not spicy at all.

Although her body has high immunity to toxins, it does not mean that she is immune to peppers.

Spicy is a kind of pain.

Glancing at the clear soup next to her, Katerina swallowed, wanting to eat some of the slowness there.

However, as soon as she stretched out her chopsticks, Lu Qi saw her.

So he warmly reminded: "The spicy soup is here."

Katerina's outstretched hand froze in the air, abruptly changed direction, and said, "I'm a little distracted."

She picked up a piece of fat beef from the spicy pot again, dipped it into the dipping bowl, and then put it in her mouth.

In terms of feeling, it was like a bomb that was about to explode, and it exploded with a bang.

Seeing her standing there in a daze, Lu Qi couldn't help saying: "If you think it's spicy, eat some clear soup."

Katerina came back to her senses and sneered: "It's not spicy, that's where it is."

Fiona and Lux, looking at her like this, couldn't help showing the same look at the same time.

Her stubborn appearance is really similar to them back then.

Lu Qi also smiled when he heard the words: "Then eat more, the spicy seasoning in your bowl is all over, why don't you add it?"

Katerina glanced down, fell silent for a moment, and walked to the seasoning area.

Then, under Lu Qi's watchful eye, a special spicy seasoning was prepared again.

Lu Qi said: "I didn't expect you to like spicy food so much, you can adjust it more."

Katerina took a deep breath, added a few spoonfuls to the bowl, turned her head and walked back to the hot pot, and ate without saying a word.

She seemed to have enough energy, and began to eat with big mouthfuls.

Her lips were as bright red as blood, and they began to swell slightly.

At first, the girls were a little worried about her condition, and then they gradually believed that she could really eat spicy food.

At least, they can't do such a way of eating.

In order to pretend that she blurted out at the beginning, Katerina paid too much.

After eating, she said coldly, "It's not spicy enough". Looking at the admiring eyes of the other girls, she turned around and left proudly.

It's just that she felt like her whole body was on fire at this moment.

Should I say it or not, at this point, Lu Qi still admires her.

At least this redhead chick has a really hard mouth.
