LOL: The days of cultivating immortals in Rune Continent

Chapter 22: Sudden Crisis

"uncle."

On Throne Mountain, Zhao Xin, with a spear on his back, had just walked out of the royal gate after meeting Jarvan III. He saw a big boy with a hesitant and conflicted look on his face in the Queen's Garden.

He has a square face, strong features, and is taller than him when he stands there.

Seeing him, even the stern Zhao Xin showed a hint of tenderness and said, "General Manager Zhao Xin, greetings to His Highness."

"Uncle, stop teasing me." Jarvan IV looked at Xin Zhao in distress.

"Uncle, Galen hasn't come back yet?"

"Your Highness, according to the time, His Excellency Mianwei will be back soon." Zhao Xin replied.

As if he had guessed Jarvan IV's thoughts, Zhao Xin smiled and said, "Your Highness, I understand your desire to help your friend, but this mission was ordered by the Marshal. As the Marshal's nephew, Her Excellency Crownguard will not persecute her nephew. With your wisdom, it is not difficult to guess that this is a political show. Moreover, although Her Excellency Crownguard is young, he is also a veteran on the battlefield."

"So when he comes back this time, he will be a member of the Void Vanguard, right?" Jarvan IV said.

"He should be. He will be an adult next year. The seat that was vacant in Fearless Vanguard before was specially prepared for him by the Marshal." Zhao Xin said.

"That's great." Jarvan IV said with envy.

As the prince of the kingdom, the king has no other heirs except him. The result is that Jarvan IV can no longer go out for adventures at will. In the past, he could still travel with Garen, but what about now?
The war came again, and Jarvan IV was trapped on Throne Mountain.

With his current strength, he could not reassure the people of the kingdom at all. They were worried that he would be killed by assassins sent by the enemy country. Therefore, Jarvan IV was trapped on Throne Mountain.

Of course, when the war officially breaks out, Jarvan IV will definitely be sent to the battlefield. Demacia will not allow the prince to stand behind the people. The kings of all generations have come through the battlefield, such as Jarvan III.

And the Uncle Zhao Xin in front of him, to some extent, was the spoils of war that his father had gained on the battlefield.

When Jarvan IV was a child, he admired Xin Zhao very much. When he grew up, he also wanted to have his own Xin Zhao like his father. Later, he met Garen. Since then, Jarvan IV is convinced that Garen is his Xin Zhao.

No, Galen is Galen.

"In short, Your Highness, just wait patiently, your friend will be back soon." Zhao Xin laughed.

But Jarvan IV asked again: "By the way, uncle, I heard that Garen lost to a rookie. What's going on?"

"You also know about this?" Zhao Xin took two steps forward and turned around to look at Jarvan IV.

"Yes, there is a rumor among the nobles that the new soldier is your son, but I know that you don't have a son." Jarvan IV asked curiously.

It was already outrageous that Garen lost to a new recruit. What was even more outrageous was that the man was actually the son of Uncle Zhao Xin?

Ha, how is that possible!

Uncle Zhao Xin is a bachelor forever!
Zhao Xin's face suddenly became helpless.

Once a rumor is spread, it cannot be stopped. Many people know the truth, but they will not speak for Zhao Xin because there is no benefit in doing so. People who are not aware of the situation actually don’t care whether the child is his son or not. They only care about whether this matter is fun or not. Spreading this matter is just a topic of conversation for them after dinner.

Zhao Xin was really helpless about this.

He admitted that he really admired the kid. They were both Ionians, also worked for Demacia, and were equally powerful.

Especially today, he defeated the veteran of the Knights and won with a crushing manner, which was very much like his past in the arena.

But. He is really not my son!

"Your Highness is very observant." Zhao Xin said with a sigh.

The nobles are spreading this, and when this matter really spreads everywhere, what will the people think?

How could he think that the people of Demacia would only think that the black-haired boy was really his son!
"By the way, uncle, isn't there a military district competition coming up soon? Isn't your son, the soldier, going to compete? He will definitely win first place, right?"

“No.” Zhao Xin shook his head.

"why?"

“This is what the king and the marshal want,” Zhao Xin said.

This left Jarvan IV confused for a moment, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

To be honest, he is very afraid of Aunt Tiana.

He grew up under the watch of Zhao Xin, but he was also raised under the watch of Aunt Tiana. Since he was young, Aunt Tiana was the sword captain of the Fearless Vanguard and the king's personal guard. She was serious, cold and steady, and a glance from her could scare the little prince so much that he dared not move.

Therefore, Tiana and Jarvan IV have a shadow on them.

Hearing that it was Tiana's idea, Jarvan IV turned around and left. He couldn't ask too many questions. In the past, he would eat the hilt if he asked too many questions. Now that he has grown up, he doesn't need to eat the hilt. It can be seen from Tiana's frown that Jarvan IV still feels a pain in the butt.

He turned and left, causing Zhao Xin to burst into laughter.

Standing in the garden, Zhao Xin closed his eyes and guarded the king's safety.

"Where did you go today?"

"Um, Aunt, I didn't go there either. I, I'm just at home."

In the manor of the Crown Guard family, under the bright oil lamp, Lux shrank her head like a quail. In front of her stood a woman in armor.

She has a very thin figure, and the exquisite armor covering her body is not tight, but she does not look funny in the loose armor. On the contrary, because of her posture and aura, she creates a very strong sense of oppression.

She is Tiana Crownguard, the Marshal of Demacia and the highest-ranking person in the Crownguard family.

She looked at Lux quietly and suddenly said, "Laxana, was today's duel interesting?"

"It looks good!" Lux's eyes lit up and she said loudly.

After she finished speaking, Lux regretted it and looked at Tiana timidly.
"."

"I'm not stopping you from coming to Xiongdu, but aren't you being too naughty these days when I'm busy with work and your brother is on a mission?"

"You are Laxana Crownguard. You are so close to a soldier, and a knight sponsored by the Bouvier family. What do you think people outside will think of you?"

"Aunt." Lux whispered, "They don't know me. I just need to keep my forehead clear. I was wrong, aunt. I won't do this again next time." Lux blinked her big eyes and looked at Tiana. She clenched her fists and placed them beside her cheeks, looking at Tiana pitifully and cutely.

Tiana held her forehead and sighed, "Lux, you have grown up. You should understand many things without me teaching you."

Looking at Lux, Tiana's eyes were as if she was looking at her own daughter. She and her husband had no children, so she treated Lux, who looked very similar to her, as her own daughter.

She could discipline Garen strictly, but to be honest, Tiana couldn't do it with Lux.

Because Lux is really good at acting like a spoiled brat.

At this moment, Lux looked at Tiana in distress. Although she said verbally that she would not dare to do it again next time, what she was thinking in her heart was how she was going to sneak out to find Rowan the day after tomorrow.

She knew that her aunt would not punish her strictly.

It's been like this since childhood.

Just as the big and the small were looking at each other in silence, there was a knock on the door.

"Marshal! New developments have occurred on the Far East battlefield!"

Tiana's eyes changed from doting to solemn in an instant. She glared at Lux and said loudly, "You are not allowed to go out these days. If you go to look for that boy while I'm busy, then don't come back."

"I understand, aunt." Lux nodded.

Tiana turned and walked away, leaving Lux alone in the study.

After Tiana left, Lux snorted twice: "If you don't want to come back, then don't come back. I have plenty of money anyway!"

Thirty minutes later, Throne Mountain.

Tiana stood in front of the king fully armed, and Jarvan III also woke up from his sleep, looking at the military officers with sharp eyes.

"Noxus has taken action. They launched an attack on Ionia. At the same time, a war has also broken out on the Shurima continent. The port has been seized by the Noxians. The White Cloth Kingdom has applied for the assistance of the knights and asked Demacia to help them resist the Noxians."

"Our ally Nokmech also discovered Noxus' spies. According to the scouts, a Noxian army has bypassed the Mithril Mountains. The situation is extremely critical! Nokmech can't even send someone to deliver a message. We discovered all this on our own."

The noble, kneeling on one knee, spoke loudly.

After hearing his words, Jarvan III stood up and said loudly: "Marshal."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tiana stood up, holding the hilt of the sword.

"Send the nearest legion to the White Cloth Kingdom, and transfer another army from the army to support Nokmochi."

"Nokmerchi must not be lost."

"Understood." Tiana said loudly.
