Chapter 22 Sudden Crisis

"Uncle."

On the Throne Mountain, Zhao Xin carried a spear on his back. After meeting Jarvan III, he just walked out of the royal gate and saw a big boy with a hesitant and tangled look in the Queen's Garden.

He had a square face and strong features, and he was taller than him when he stood there.

Seeing him, even the serious Zhao Xin showed a trace of tenderness and said, "General Manager Zhao Xin, meet your highness."

"Uncle, don't tease me." Jarvan IV looked at Zhao Xin distressedly.

"Uncle, is Garen not back yet?"

"To your highness, according to the time, His Excellency the Crown Guard 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 Crown Guard will not persecute her nephew. With your wisdom, it is not difficult to guess that this is a political show. Moreover, although Her Excellency Crown Guard is young, he is also a veteran on the battlefield."

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

"It should be. He will be an adult next year. The seat that was vacant in the 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. As a result, Jarvan IV can no longer go out for adventures casually. In the past, he could go out to travel with Garen, but what about now?

The war is coming again, and Jarvan IV is trapped on the throne mountain.

With his current strength, he could not reassure the kingdom. They were worried that he would be killed by assassins sent by the enemy country. Therefore, Jarvan IV was trapped on the throne mountain.

Of course, when the war officially started, Jarvan IV would definitely be sent to the battlefield. Demacia would not allow the prince to stand behind the people. The kings of all generations had walked on the battlefield, such as Jarvan III.

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

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

No, Garen is Garen.

"Anyway, Your Highness, wait with peace of mind, 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 new soldier. What's going on?"

"You also know about this?" Zhao Xin, who walked out two steps, turned around and looked 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.

Garen lost to a new soldier, which is already an outrageous thing. What's more outrageous is that the man is actually the son of Uncle Zhao Xin?

Ha, how is it possible!

Uncle Zhao Xin is a bachelor for thousands of years!

Zhao Xin's face suddenly became helpless.

Once the 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 don't know actually don't care whether the child is his son or not. They only care whether this matter is fun. Spreading this matter is just a topic of conversation for them after dinner.

Zhao Xin is really helpless about this.

He admitted that he really admired that kid, who was also an Ionian, also worked for Demacia, and was equally powerful.

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

But. He is really not my son!

"Your Highness is very observant." Zhao Xin sighed.

The nobles are all spreading this, and when this matter is really spread, what will the people think?

What will they think? The people of Demacia will only think that the black-haired boy is really his son!

"By the way, uncle, isn't there a military district competition in a while? Isn't your son? Will the soldier also play? 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 made Jarvan IV confused for a moment, but he didn't dare to ask.

To be honest. He was very afraid of Aunt Tiana.

He grew up under the watch of Zhao Xin, but also under the watch of Aunt Tiana. When he was still 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 look could scare the little prince so much that he dared not move.

Therefore, Jarvan IV had a shadow on Tiana.

Hearing that it was Tiana's intention, Jarvan IV turned and left.

Can't ask too much. In the past, if you asked too much, you would eat the hilt. Now that you have grown up, you don't have to eat the hilt. It can be seen that Jarvan IV still feels pain in the butt when Tiana frowns.

And he turned and left, which made Zhao Xin laugh.

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

"Where did you go today?"

"Uh, aunt, I didn't go there. I, I was at home."

In the Crownguard's manor, under the bright oil lamp, Lux ducked her head like a quail. In front of her, stood a woman wearing armor.

She has a very thin figure, and the delicate armor covering her body is not close-fitting, but she does not look funny wearing the large armor. On the contrary, because of her standing posture and aura, she has 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 Lax quietly and suddenly said: "Laxana, did you like today's duel?"

"Good-looking!" Lux's eyes lit up and she said loudly.

After saying that, Lux regretted it and looked at Tiana timidly.

"."

"I won't stop you from coming to Xiongdu, but during these days when I'm busy with my affairs and your brother is on a mission, are you a little too mischievous?"

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

"Aunt." Lux whispered, "They don't know me. As long as I don't reveal my forehead, I was wrong, aunt. I won't do this next time." Lux blinked and looked at Ti. Yana clenched her hands into small 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 don't need me to teach you many things. You should also understand."

Looking at Lux, Tiana's eyes were like 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 Galen strictly, but to be honest with Lux, Tiana couldn't do it.

Because Lux is really good at acting like a baby.

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

She knew that her aunt would not punish her severely.

It's been like this since childhood.

And just when the big one and the little one were looking at each other in silence, there was a knock on the door.

"Master Marshal! There is a new battle situation in 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 look for that kid again while I am busy, then you don't want to go out." came back."

"I understand, Auntie." Lux nodded.

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

After Tiana left, Lux snorted twice: "If you don't come back, I won't come back. Anyway, I have plenty of money!"

Thirty minutes later, Throne Mountain.

Tiana stood in front of the king fully armed, and Jarvan III also got up from his sleep and looked at the military attachés with burning eyes.

"Noxus has taken action. They launched an attack on Ionia. At the same time, a war broke out on the Shurima continent. The port has been robbed by the Noxians. The White Cloth Kingdom applied for knight assistance and asked Demacia Help them fight the Noxians."

"The allied nation Nocmurch also discovered the Noxian spies. According to the scouts, an army of Noxus has come around from the Mithril Mountains. The situation is very critical! Nocmurch even We couldn’t send anyone to deliver the message, we discovered these ourselves.”

The noble kneeling on one knee said loudly.

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

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

"Send the nearest legion to the White Cloth Kingdom, and then transfer an army from the army to support Nokmoch."

"Knockmooch must not be lost."

"Understood." Tiana said loudly.
