After a fruitless meeting of nobles, Gavin IV returned to the palace alone.

His Majesty the King is doubting life.

All along, the world of Gavin IV was black and white - the Noxians were evil, and the dragons were evil.

Dealing with the enemy, Gavin IV could fight to the end without mercy.

But lately, Govin IV has felt as if his whole world had turned gray – he couldn't tell who was telling the truth and who was false, and he couldn't tell whether a person was a "good person" or a "bad person".

thought that he could show his strength after becoming the emperor, but the reality was that he was constrained everywhere.

The conclusion of the stampede here has not yet been confirmed, and there are marching people in the Dawn Square over there, demanding the resumption of the suppression of the mage......

When Gawain IV really looked at the kingdom, he found that everything was different from what he had imagined.

In the last few days, despite the battle of wits with the noble council, Gavin IV has spent a lot of time thinking and reflecting, perhaps not realizing that he is now gradually getting closer to what his father once was......

Perhaps soon, Gawain IV will understand one thing - rulers should not only see where they are going, but also how to walk the road under their feet is sometimes just as important.

……………………

Compared to the distressed Gallvin IV, after learning the whole thing from Anne and Jinx's mouths, Rhodes was much calmer - it was not surprising that the Demon Seekers would make trouble.

In the Xiongdu of Demacia, most of the nobles did not know about the Demon Seeker as much as Rhodes, and the nobles would treat the Demon Seeker as a dog that could not be put on the stage, but in Rhodes' view, the Demon Seeker was more like a hyena - they were ambitious, they were more black, and most importantly, because they occupied the height of political correctness and their own actions were relatively secretive, they could always have a first-mover advantage.

Although Rod doesn't look down on these guys either, he has to admit that these demon seekers have done Rod a great favor.

The waters of Xiongdu have changed from calm to undercurrent again, and whoever wins this time will have the result that Rhodes wants.

If the Demon Seeker could really find a chance to rise to the throne with the people behind him, Rhodes wouldn't mind helping Gawain IV stage a princely revenge - and if Govin IV finally had a good wrist after his ordeal, then Rhodes would be happy to admit that he was a qualified collaborator.

For Rhodes, it no longer mattered what the outcome of Demacia's struggle was, and he should now turn his attention to the side of the revolutionary army.

This is the basic market of Rod for the next period of time.

……………………

Zina, who was under house arrest in the embassy, was distressed.

I thought this was the beginning of the normalization of Master Demacia, but who would have thought that something like this would happen in the middle - now that the emissaries of the revolutionary army are all under house arrest.

Fortunately, before being placed under house arrest, Xena sent someone to inform Silas in time, at least the revolutionary army would not become radicalized because of this accident.

For Xena, the trouble is not only house arrest.

The little boy who was with the mission soon woke up, and from the little guy's mouth, Xena learned about his past - unlike the usual mages who were discovered by the Demon Seekers, this little guy's past was even more intense, and he "sought justice for his family" and killed a certain baron's butler.

Xena, who is familiar with the virtues of the Demon Seeker, quickly understood what this little guy meant, and it was for this reason that when Demacia officials asked Xena to hand over the little boy several times, Xena sternly refused - she couldn't sit back and watch the little guy leave her field of vision, because once he left her protection, he was likely to be killed.

Fortunately, Demacia officials are not too demanding, and for them, this little guy is actually very hot.

During her house arrest, Xena's communication with the outside world was almost completely cut off, and the entire mission was supplied by Demacia's special personnel, who were not allowed to leave the embassy for a single step, and the only people who could bring them news were the messengers of the Illuminati.

Speaking of which, during this trip to the Xiongdu of Demacia, Xena's biggest gain was to meet a reliable friend, Lux.

The smiling, light-wielding girl was a new friend of Zina's acquaintance, who often came to the embassy, occasionally helping Xena with a little favor, and each time bringing useful news, although they had different positions, the two of them talked unusually well.

It is precisely because of the help of Lux that Xena is able to maintain a calm heart under house arrest.

For Xena, the happiest time of the day is when Lux comes to visit her.

Curiously, however, today's Lux looks ...... A bit of a loss.

“…… You...... Are you okay? Seeing that Lux was distracted several times, Xena finally couldn't help but ask, "Look at your state today...... It doesn't seem to be very good......"

"Ahh ”

"I mean, you look in bad shape - aren't you too tired?"

“…… What's so tiring about. Lux smiled and shook her head, "Maybe it's not in a good mood - I had a fight with my brother." ”

"You have a brother?" Xena blinked in surprise, "I've never heard you mention him, huh?" ”

"I don't really like to talk about him." Speaking of her brother, Lux shook her head helplessly, "He hates mages. ”

“……”

Xena was silent.

Xena has no siblings, and even her mother left her early, leaving her father alone—and her father has never been disgusted with her for being a natural mage, not even her father's death...... It's all about her mage.

In Zina's opinion, her brother should also be a close person, how can a mage's closest relatives hate a mage?

"Actually." As if to see Xena's doubts, Lux sighed a little lowly, "Mom knows my identity and talent, and my father knows it, but we all hide it from my brother - he served in the army, he is a very powerful general, he has defeated many mages, uh, the evil kind, he knows the power of magic, many of his comrades have died in spells, so he hates demonic magic, so we have been hiding from him." ”

"A very powerful general?" Seeing that Lux was in a depressed mood, Xena decided to make a joke, "That's ...... Tell me how good he is - is there that Demacia who is powerful? ”
