"Forget it, after all, I was too shocked and didn't have time to inform you … Strictly speaking, it is indeed my fault."
Karina sat on a chair, then supported her head with both hands, and couldn't help but sigh again. Li Ke sat on another chair, took out an apple from his backpack, and gnawed on it while asking the beautiful girl.
"Then, I will have to stay here for a while, right?"
He knew very well what he had done. Even if the king didn't care, his subordinates would care very much. Therefore, it was inevitable that he would have to stay here for a while, just like in the fortress at the border.
Li Ke didn't have any complaints about this. He just made a mental note to Yatoku.
"In fact, it's even worse."
Karina's mood was more complicated than Li Ke's, because when she entered the command room, she just saw the king and the others coming in. Before that, she didn't receive any news. This meant that the king was traveling secretly this time, and judging from the fact that he brought her grandaunt, the Fearless Vanguard's Swordsman Tiana Crownguard, the army he brought this time was undoubtedly the most elite army in the country.
Fearless Vanguard.
In other words, His Majesty the Emperor was going to personally lead the army. Her Dragon Bird Squad was probably going to be deployed to the battlefield to cover the Fearless Vanguard in battle. And judging from the recent situation, this time, the king must be helping other countries to recover the cities invaded by Noxus, and there was an 80% chance that he would attack Noxus's besieging troops and drive them out.
In this way, it would take at least two months for them to return, and this was under the condition that the war went well. If it didn't go well, they might even have to fight Noxus's servant army for a while. But regardless of whether the war went well or not, the duel between Karina and that man next month could no longer be realized.
War …
"You may have to stay here for a long time."
Karina let out a long sigh. She even felt a little relieved. Because of this darkness, she wouldn't be forced to kill the person she liked for the time being. And if it was possible, if that person had made some achievements on the battlefield and received the king's commendation, perhaps she could ask the king to mediate between the two of them.
But unfortunately, she knew that it wasn't possible. That bastard naturally disliked the strict rules of Demacia. That was why he had abandoned his duties, stubbornly refused to marry her, and then wanted to elope with a girl from Pirtwof. He had even listened to the girl's instigation and believed that man was born free, and that even the King and his family had no right to make him do things he didn't like.
Ah, that was what he said, because …
"If you want me to live with someone who only knows rules and honor, what's the difference between that and killing me?"
She couldn't help but blurt out these words, which attracted Li Ke's attention.
"What happened?"
Karina suddenly remembered that there was an outsider like Li Ke by her side. She sighed again and then spoke.
"Nothing, I just thought of something I hate. For example, the trouble you brought me after coming here. "
Pure feelings would only bring about pain. So what if he was outstanding? Even though she told herself in her heart that she should be happy because of his happiness, this feeling of self-deception made her want to go crazy. Coupled with work, war, the expectations of her family, and the weight of the Royal Guard name, Karina didn't know when she would go crazy and die in this strict fortress because of the strong pressure.
If only I could be willful, and there was someone who could let me be willful to my heart's content.
She couldn't help but think so.
"You can't blame me for this."
Li Ke felt a little guilty. Because the truth was too strong, he began to suspect that he had a body similar to the Grim Reaper's. After all, this was a magical world, so it wasn't impossible.
"Yes, I can't blame you. But who can I blame? I haven't even settled the matter of my fiancé, and then there's the Dragon, the Yodel, the Stone Beasts, and now His Majesty the King. Who knows what else I'll encounter in the future … "
Karina took a deep breath. At this moment, Li Ke heard the footsteps of several people outside the door. And judging from the size of the footsteps, these people weren't adult males. So he didn't say anything. He just pointed at the door behind him. But when Karina reacted and stopped complaining, someone knocked on the door, and a boy's voice sounded.
"Sister Karina, I'm here to see you."
Li Ke recognized the voice. He knew that it was the voice of the young Garen, so he looked at Karina in surprise. Karina frowned, stood up from the stool, and opened the door to her room, revealing a golden-haired boy with a silly grin on his face and a golden-haired girl hiding behind him with a doll in her arms.
Oh, of course, they even had two maids by their side. And from Li Ke's judgement, the skills of these two maids weren't too bad.
"Uncle Garen? And Aunt Shanna? What are you two doing here? "
Li Ke couldn't help but laugh when he saw Karina calling these two children who weren't even ten years old. And his laughter made Karina clench her fists. Meanwhile, Garen scratched his head and revealed an adorable smile, stating his intentions for coming here.
"Don't call me uncle. There are no outsiders here, Sister Karina. Well, I brought Shanna to see this uncle. Auntie said that she should apologize, and Shanna thinks so too. "
The girl called Shanna nodded timidly. When she realized that Li Ke was looking at her, she was like a frightened chick. She quickly hid her head behind her brother's back, leaving only a few strands of her blonde hair outside. But interestingly, as if she felt that she was too timid, she retracted her head for a second and slowly peeked out from behind her brother's back. Then, she nodded to Karina timidly.
"Great-aunt is still so strict … Okay, Garen, Shanna."
Karina knew that it wouldn't be that simple. It was obvious that they had some strategic matters to discuss, so they let these two kids leave. But she couldn't help but feel that her great-aunt was too trusting of her. Obviously, such a thing had happened, but she still let these two kids come here. So she had no choice but to open the door and let Garen, Shanna, and the two maids into her room.
But what she didn't expect was that Aunt Lux, who used to be shy, ran directly to Li Ke's side after entering her room, and put her small hand on Li Ke's hand.
"Here's a candy."
She secretly hid the candy during dinner last night and handed it to Li Ke. But when she let go of his hand, her eyes still showed a reluctant expression.
That was the candy that she specially kept for the tea party with the kids!
