Along the way, the Demacian soldiers spread the news of the victory, and the people who had suffered a great deal finally smiled.

While the mages did not harm civilians, the days of destruction and tension kept everyone in fear.

Now that calm has returned, it is full of artisans rebuilding their homes, singing the praises of Jiawen's heroic deeds as they work.

Gavin didn't forget that the victory was won with the help of the Noxians, and there were important things to talk about.

The banquet hall of the palace was held before it was repaired, and there were not many servants, but it was quite sumptuous, but neither side cared about it.

Kree never liked to attend banquets, so he didn't stop and went straight back to Noxus with the Wild Sand Elite.

Darius was not escorted, and he attended the banquet alone, which alone was admirable.

There are not many people on Demacia's side, because Darius said before the meeting, there are many people, just leave a few people to talk.

Naturally, the two "key gentlemen" and Riven and I will not be absent, and Darius has us sitting next to him.

In his words, don't let others think that he is alone, in fact, he just wants to show that our relationship is more intimate, and of course he will take us with him when he leaves.

When he saw Fiona, Darius greeted him cordially, "Hey, we're meeting again." ”

The last time we came to Demacia, the two met at Laurent's mansion, and Fiona suspected his identity at the time, but she didn't expect it to be Darius.

"I really didn't expect you to be Darius, coming alone, this is the second time."

"As a thank you for not killing, I'm here to help."

"Thank you very much."

People didn't know what happened to us, and they were surprised by the greetings between the two.

Galen's face was not very good-looking, and Silas's words had always been difficult for him to let go, although Gavin said that he didn't care about Lux's magic, but his concealment was really not bright.

He opened his mouth to speak because Darius had introduced Rui Wen, and when he learned that the young girl in front of him was actually the blood fighter of the Tomahawk Legion, his surprise was beyond words:

"I didn't expect you to be a blood fighter, it's really better to hear than to see, the young talent of Demacia, I haven't seen it for many years."

"Now, I'm just Rui Wen, and the name of the Blood Fighter is not a glorious thing."

"Alright, it's time for us to get down to business, His Excellency Darius has helped us out of danger this time, and Demacia will not forget this kindness."

"The king is serious, and he can bridge our barriers, and this little toil is nothing."

"Don't know what you want? We may not be able to pay the reparations for a while, and you can see the current situation of Demacia, and of course, if you allow us to incur the debt, I will definitely pay it. ”

"No, I'm not rich, but I'm not short of money."

That's what Gavin is afraid of, what can be plundered by war, except for money, is territory, since Darius doesn't want money, then the purpose is very clear.

He took out a map and drew a line with his pen, drawing out nearly a third of Demacia's territory, almost the entire east.

"The eastern regions have been almost devastated and are you satisfied?"

Darius didn't even look at it: "What I have is the territory, don't." ”

Now Gavin is at a loss, he doesn't want money, he doesn't want territory, does he want the whole of Demacia?

Thinking of this, Jiawen's face was a little ugly: "You are?" ”

"The fruits of war, besides money and territory, have a more important thing."

He paused, looking at Gavin and the people around him, hoping someone answered.

"The human heart." Galen said.

"Yes, General Galen is a great man."

"The human heart? So how do I give it to you? Forgive me, I will not abandon my people. ”

"What people want, it has nothing to do with where you are, with all due respect, you are still young, you may not understand these things, as long as you know, I will not ask for anything, what I want is for both sides to live in peace, that's all."

As Svein had said, he meant the same thing after invading Ionia, but it inevitably aroused suspicion among others.

Spending a lot of human and financial resources and just wanting an illusory peaceful relationship? If it were someone else, it was possible, but Noxus was not that style.

But Darius didn't seem to be joking, he looked directly at Gavin with sincerity.

"I'm really young, I don't really understand your thoughts, as far as the result is concerned, you don't want anything, and lead the troops back after the banquet is over?"

"Yes, I'll go back as soon as the banquet is over, and of course, if you're willing to stay, I don't mind staying two more days."

Not only Gavin, but all the Demacians couldn't believe the facts in front of them, why did they invade in the first place when they didn't want anything? Isn't that redundant?

But Darius said so, and of course he couldn't be wrong.

From Svein's words last time, I have come to understand one thing: the peace obtained through negotiations and the show of strength are different, especially now that there is more kindness.

"Please stay two more days, I want to ask you a few more things."

"Just ask, I can exchange my personal thoughts."

In the middle of the feast, it was reported that Andy had come to see him, he was now the head of the Laurent family, and he was in charge of all the rebuilding work, and he did not know what made him take time out to come to the palace.

"See Your Majesty."

"You're welcome Andy, we are all the same age, we have known each other since childhood, so it's good to be natural."

"Yes, I caught someone and wanted to give it to Sister Fiona and explain something at the same time."

After saying that, he beckoned, and a servant came up with a woman, who was the head maid of Fiona's house.

After inquiry, the truth was finally revealed.

It turns out that she ostensibly worked for Baldwin to assassinate Fiona, but in fact she was Silas's subordinate.

Birdwin wants to take control of the Laurent family, so he thinks of a way to control Fiona with Binglan, and the head maid intends to show favor to him, and the two are in a mess.

However, Berdwin did not use magic to change the medicinal properties of Binglan, but only wanted Fiona to be honest, hoping that she would automatically abdicate when she was weak.

Although I don't know why Fiona passed out, it's nothing, anyway, if I can get the status I want.

And this person who made a stumbling block and used magic to change the medicinal properties of Binglan was the head maid.

She had a brother in her hometown who was a mage who chose to follow Silas to escape prison, and in order to gain appreciation, he used the head maid to cause trouble for the Laurent family.

The magic that changed the medicinal properties of Binglan was taught to her by her brother.

The culprit is caught, and Berdwin is cleared of his grievances, although he has bad intentions, but he does not want to kill Fiona.

Out of anger, I asked Riven to kill Birdwin, and I was a bit ruthless.

"What are you going to do?" Gavin asked Andy.
