Chapter 50, Svein's Means
"It seems...... It's not the first time we've met, little girl. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In the video, Svein said kindly while teasing the bird on his shoulder when he saw Lux.
"The last time I saw you, you were a little girl who would only hide behind your brother...... I didn't expect you to be so old now. ”
Hearing Svein's words, Lux's teeth clenched, and her body trembled, as if she was trying to endure something.
"Looks like you've inherited your brother's recklessness well...... Of course, it's a good thing for me, because ......"
"Alright, old crow, the rambling gossip can be talked about later. ”
Katerina didn't seem to be able to stand Svein's face anymore and interrupted by pulling Lux aside.
"I just want to know now, what's next. ”
After saying this, not only Caterina, but also Tyrone and Lines were also attracted to the gaze.
Seeing Katerina's impatient appearance, Svein also seemed to know that now was not the time to read the victory declaration, and his old mistake was repeated.
"Now that you have got such a trump card...... The next thing is probably a lot simpler......"
Svein pointed his finger at the beak of the bird on his shoulder and said leisurely, his eyes still glancing at Lux from time to time, as if observing the performance of the noble lady of Demacia would please him.
"We'll use that little girl as a bargaining chip to make a request to Demacia to 'quit Freljord immediately', and then we won't have to waste a single soldier, and we can easily win over Freljord, of course, you don't have to worry about these things, I'll tell him personally when I see Jiawen, and all you have to do is escort this young lady to Freljord to standby." ”
"You...... You...... Despicable and shameless!"
At this point, Lux's anger seemed to overwhelm her fear, and she shouted at Svein with wide eyes.
Although he was very imposing, due to his good education, Lux racked his brains and couldn't come up with words that could better express his inner feelings than this one.
"Hahaha...... What a coincidence, your brother scolded me the same way, but the same ...... Failed...... Hahaha......"
As if hearing some funny joke, Svein laughed wildly at the other end of the crystal, and his laughter made Tyrone turn around.
"Old crow, if you talk about anything that has nothing to do with the mission, I will definitely pluck all your crow feathers when I return to Noxus. ”
With a bang, the dilapidated sofa next to it, which could already be considered an antique, turned into firewood under Katarina's fist.
"Lord Svein. ”
At this time, Lines, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly interjected coldly, causing the eyes of the audience to converge on him.
"Oh...... Noxus Rising Star, it looks like you've grown a lot......"
At the sight of Lines, Svein's eyes half-narrowed, like a fox thinking about something.
To be honest, staring at him like this, Lines felt as if he had been pricked in the back, but he still endured the discomfort and continued to speak:
"I want to ask...... If the Demacians do not accept the conditions...... Or what if they think the death of the hostage doesn't matter? ”
Hearing this, Lines visibly felt Lux tremble in front of him.
Indeed, what if his royal brother really sacrificed himself for the benefit of the country?
The voice kept echoing in Lux's mind.
Although she had listened to her father tell all kinds of stories about sacrificing her life for Demacia since she was a child, if it really happened to her......
Lux still can't imagine what it would be like to really "become a hero of Demacia".
At this moment, Svein's voice in the video interrupted Lux's musings.
"When did you hear that I was going to kill this little girl?"
Well?
After hearing this, the people present were stunned.
Before they could react, Svein threw out more words that surprised them.
"If the eldest daughter of the Crownguard family, the number one noble lady of Demacia, dies under the butcher's knife of the enemy, she may be praised as a hero in Demacia...... At the same time, it will cause a wave of popular sentiment, and all the Demacians will shout for an attack on Noxus...... Although it may not really cause a war, it will definitely attract the attention of the league, and after a series of referees, we will be given some small punishments, and we will not get any benefit, and in the end, it will be us who are unlucky. ”
Saying this, Svein's words changed, and the expression on his face became a little distorted.
"However, if you think about it the other way, if such a beautiful girl dies like this, it seems that I am a little too ignorant of customs, we have a lot of practical witchcraft and transformation plans from Zaun to make you a 'courtesan' of Noxus to win people's hearts and win over nobles, and at the same time, we will also use magic crystals to make all kinds of videos of your work process and distribute them throughout the continent, just imagine, if the people of Demacia saw their noble lady become like this, what kind of expressions would they show?"
With Svein's words, Lux's body trembled more and more, and her legs were a little weak, she had never experienced such humiliation, and her mind was now blank, and she could faint at any moment.
"And if I were to blackmail the Demacians directly, presumably that kid from Gavin would definitely not agree, so we need some simple 'evidence'. ”
With that, Svein just stared at Lux, who was not sitting on the ground with tears in his eyes, as if he was picking something.
"For example...... One finger. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Caterina had already pressed Lux's hand.
"No! Don't...... Ahh
As if she had just come to her senses, the girl who had just been able to confront Svein screamed like a frightened bird.
Open...... What are you kidding, in that case, wouldn't your own sacrifice, your own death, become meaningless?
Lux struggled, thinking of this despair over and over again.
But it was too late, and the dagger in Katerina's hand was already raised, and it was about to fall.
Bite!
As expected, another pitch-black dagger stood in front of Katarina's dagger.
But what Rains saw was indeed Katerina's smiling face.
Lux, on the other hand, covered her face with her other hand and sobbed, as if she had not recovered from the shock she had just had.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the cabin was a little dreary.
"Ahem...... It was just a joke, and Miss Caterina seemed a little nervous. ”
Svein coughed twice, and the expression on his face returned to its original calm, as if everything had just happened was really just a joke.
Hearing Svein's words, Caterina had already hung the dagger back on her waist, and Lines slowly withdrew her hand.
He knew that he had been tempted by the old crow Svein.
