"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but this is the end of your journey."
The people standing before Jarvan weren't unfamiliar to him. On the contrary, they were people he was very familiar with. They had served him since he was young and regarded serving him as an honor. They were his servants. But now, they stood before him with swords and spears in their hands and aimed their bows at their master.
"You better surrender now, or we won't mind teaching you a lesson."
The one who spoke was his former attendant. The man with a mustache had a stern look on his face. Jarvan clearly remembered the man's fear when he broke a vase in front of him. At that time, Jarvan was very rude to him. If it wasn't for his father's reprimand, this man would have been kicked out of the palace.
But after that, this man behaved humbly and seriously. Jarvan always thought that this man was worthy of his duties and status. But now, it seemed like this man didn't treat that incident as a lesson. Instead, it was a humiliation.
"You bunch of despicable people! Have you forgotten the grace my father gave you?! "
Jarvan unsheathed his sword. No one from the Light Shield Family had ever surrendered without putting up a fight. Therefore, even if he had to die, he wouldn't let these people use him to threaten his father. But he didn't expect that this man couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Grace?"
He shook his head in disdain.
"I've been learning since I was young. I learned when others were playing, when others were happy, and when others were doing meaningful things. What did I learn? How to serve someone like you! Because my family has served the royal family for generations, I was destined to be your servant the moment I was born. "
The smile on the man's face became distorted.
"My efforts, my struggles, and my life's goal are all for you, Your Highness. Because only then will my father think that I'm worthy of my birth and everything that I've received. I've trained hard for more than a decade and maintained this posture for hours every day just to ensure that you can easily take the cup from my hand to quench your thirst when you're tired. I've trained for more than a decade to observe your body language just to guess what you want to eat at any time. "
His voice grew more and more agitated, to the point that Carwyn felt uneasy.
"I used to feel honored because of this. Look, my family existed for the King, and we have a share of the King's honor. But I don't understand why you bumped into me, and yet you can confidently criticize the results of my life for more than ten years, and even want to chase me out of the palace. You obviously don't know anything, and you didn't put in any effort. You're just a mischievous child, but you've decided my future and my fate from the very beginning."
He also pulled out his sword, but smiled and sheathed it back into its scabbard.
"This is really unfair, isn't it?"
With a wave of his hand, the messengers beside the man took out crossbows. These dangerous weapons were aimed at their former master, the future king. Hearing his words, the fear in Carwyn's heart disappeared. He looked at the other party with disdain, his eyes filled with the glory of Demacia.
"This is fate and responsibility! You have failed your family's honor and responsibility! I don't think I can decide anyone's fate! But Simion! People like you will never succeed no matter what you do! You don't have honor and responsibility in your heart, and you don't have a sense of the big picture! You're just a despicable person who wants to slack off! You're just blaming the whole of Demacia for your own mistakes! "
He scolded the shameless villain in front of him harshly. In the perfect country of Demacia, everyone should have their own duties. If anyone was dissatisfied with their position and responsibility and wanted to cause trouble, then this world would become a terrible mess! Such people undoubtedly did not have the spirit of Demacia, nor did they have any honor or responsibility to speak of!
They did not belong to justice!
Even if justice was suppressed for the time being, it would still win in the end!
But what made Jarvan's hair stand on end was that these people didn't react to his questioning at all. It was as if he was a clown. This made him feel very uncomfortable, and he had a bad feeling about this. Although the man's face was twisted with anger, the woman beside him, one of Carwyn's maids, pulled him to calm down.
"That's why I think you're wasting your time asking questions. What can you get out of a person like him? He's born with everything we have. He won't look at the thoughts of those who don't have these things. Do you think he can understand the thoughts of people like us who have nothing? That's enough. Capture him and send him to that bastard minister. "
Carwyn felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. This meant that these people were not the minister's men, but another group of people. There were more than one force in Demacia that wanted to harm his father!
This discovery filled him with anxiety, but the people surrounding him seemed to have lost their last bit of patience, and they all got into an attacking posture. He did not want to be captured, so he urged his horse to charge at those people.
Then he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. A crossbow arrow had pierced his shoulder, and the young prince fell from his horse to the ground. He tried hard to stand up, but saw the man rushing in front of him like a whirlwind. The man knocked the sword out of his hand, and then looked at the wound on his body with a bright smile.
"Look, you can bleed too. But your blood isn't golden, is it?"
Carwyn looked at the man with hatred, trying to remember his face. But the next moment, he saw a delicate but powerful fist, and his world gradually fell into darkness.
"I said, don't talk nonsense. He will never be able to stand with us, the landless owners. He was born noble. How can he understand our difficulties? Maybe he'll understand our difficulties when he grows up, but look at his age. He's just a child who thinks that everything should go according to his wishes. "
The woman shook her head. In fact, she had never been punished. She had been a maid of the Wang family for generations. She could even foresee that she would definitely become a court lady in the future. However, she did not want her daughter to go through all this. Her daughter should have the freedom to choose her own future, and not be like her, who was born to serve others.
Although she was a so-called noble and did not have to worry about food and clothes, she lived carefully and for others. Perhaps her daughter would hate her when the time came, and think that her actions were superfluous. But she only wanted to give her descendants another path. She did not want to live like this. Although there were many choices, there would always be only one choice.
"Don't expose us. Make the prince look like he was thrown off by a frightened horse. Then we'll be done with our work and have to leave Demacia immediately."
She then gave the order. Having spent their lives in the palace, they knew that no matter how determined they were, or how quickly Li Ke would take care of the Demacia army. However, once their actions were discovered, neither the old king nor the minister would let them off.
As for their families?
Their families were about to leave. The sewers of Demacia were rather complicated, but for small people like them who served important people all year round, it was not difficult for them to find out. It was laughable. If their families hadn't declined so much, they wouldn't have been able to obtain their former positions.
"Then we'll head to Skin City next?"
The man sheathed his sword disinterestedly. He wanted to ask why they captured him so easily if he was indeed outstanding. But it was clear that their leader did not wish to do so. Instead, they carried out all their activities according to plan.
"That's right, to Skin City. There are the most advanced ideas and systems there that can allow each of us to show our worth. Also, unlike the Noxus people who only know how to kill and plunder. "
Li Ke felt that Skin City's ideas had gone astray, but in the eyes of the Demacians, it was the guiding light of this world. This ironic feeling left Li Ke speechless, so he sped up the plot. He let the time flow to the scene where the trembling Zhao Xin arrived on a horse, only to find a piece of Carwyn's clothes.
After that, it was the scene where the horse crashed into a miraculous light screen and appeared in front of him.
"This is indeed the work of those things in the heavens."
Li Ke sighed as Zhao Xin's breathing stabilized after receiving treatment. It was obvious that Carwyn had been sent to the court officials by those who wanted to seek refuge with him. What was even more amazing was that those people were the nobles that Maisha and he had seen earlier who were seeking refuge with their relatives in Pi City.
It was apparent that not only did they successfully achieve their goal, but they also hid from everyone and openly left Demacia for Skin City.
"This is truly a miraculous situation."
Li Ke — who couldn't help but praise those people's script — clapped his hands. This kind of operation is really amazing. No one would think that a car full of Demacia medals and swaggering down the road would be the person who kidnapped Prince Jiawen. And the most interesting thing was that the sighs of those people were not fake. Those who were walking outside really thought that they were going to steal the bride and flee.
There were lies in the truth and truth in the lies. As expected of someone who worked in the palace. He was quite good at playing with people's hearts. If they didn't mind, he could make them prosecutors in the future.
"What's the matter? What made you so surprised?"
Mai Yisha came over curiously. She didn't have Li Ke's ability to casually read information from the river of time. In fact, this ridiculous ability was rare even for gods.
"Human intelligence."
Li Ke sighed and looked in the direction of Demacia. This was because Prince Jiawen was currently in Demacia, and there seemed to be two people he was very familiar with beside him.
Karina and Lux.
In his line of sight, Karina and Lux were sitting idly in a church with Carwyn. Karina looked nonchalant and was even in the mood to munch on an apple. On the other hand, Carwyn, who had been kidnapped, had a long face. It was obvious that he had found out what had happened from Karina and Lux who came in later.
As for Lux?
She sat beside Carwyn with an aggrieved expression. She wanted to comfort Prince Jiawen, but she didn't know how to do so. She had never experienced something like this before, so she didn't know what to do.
"It seems like I've completely ruined their marriage?"
Having read Lux's personal comic and understood the traditions of Demacia, he stroked his chin. Although Lux and Silas in the comic seemed to have an ambiguous relationship, Lux's identity and experience basically meant that she would become King Jiawen IV's queen. This wasn't just because of her family. If King Jiawen IV wanted to improve the situation of the magicians in the country, then the best way was to marry a powerful, trustworthy, and sympathetic magician who didn't have much power.
Powerful. When Lux was five years old, her magical power was easily several times that of a magician's army in Noxus. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the fist was the daughter of the family.
Trustworthy. Lux was born as a Royal Guard and grew up as a girl. She was also very beautiful and had a good personality. King Jiawen didn't dislike her, and he even decided that Lux would be his queen after Galen said a few words.
She didn't have much power. Although Lux was born as a Royal Guard, her brother was the next head of the family. If she became the queen, she might seem to have a lot of power, but her education and identity meant that she couldn't do many things. Galen had already become the commander of the army, but she was still idle at home, learning things that girls needed to learn.
She was born for marriage. What was important wasn't herself, but her future child with King Jiawen, as well as the friendship between the Royal Guards and the Light Shield.
Therefore, in the original timeline, although Silas and Azrael looked handsome and promising, Lux would definitely marry King Jiawen IV for the sake of Demacia's future and change. This was destined. If Silas could really build a magician empire, it wasn't impossible for him to marry Lux as a compromise to appease the Old World.
Unfortunately, Silas' mind was filled with hatred at that time. He didn't want everything in the Old World. He didn't want to build a country of equality. Instead, he wanted to build a world where ordinary people were enslaved and magicians reigned supreme. Therefore, he would never be able to marry his Light in this life. He could only choose to forgive King Jiawen and watch his Light marry the man he hated the most.
As for Azrael?
If there were no accidents …
Li Ke glanced at Maisha beside him.
He would be played to death by Zoe.
