The scene returns to Horrant.

"Hoo ......"

Putting the silver stick aside, and hanging the robe on the hanger, the tired II could finally rest for a while, he lay on the bench with his eyes half-closed and breathed a long sigh of relief, trying not to think about the troubles, this was his and his wife's bedroom, there was no too luxurious decoration, and there was no maid to serve on the side, there was just a warm and simple home.

The small room was quite quiet, a few days ago, Martina (II's wife) went to the border city to visit the residents there, this year's precipitation was a little low, and food production was also affected a lot, when II was busy with work, Martina chose to personally bring a team of magicians to help, which reduced a lot of pressure for him.

For Martina, the second always has some guilt in his heart, because he has been fighting abroad all the year round, and most of the time he spent in Horrant was used to deal with government affairs, and Martina, as his wife, never complained, but silently helped the second in the way she could......

Hiss...... Thinking of his wife, a headache immediately interrupted the second world's thoughts, although there is a magic protection in the body, but the second has not been able to sleep well in the past few days, not only because the problems of the League of Legends have made him break his brain, but also because the relationship with Xiu has become complicated, even if this matter is perfectly resolved, how should he face him in the future? What would his mother think?

2{1}{Ben}Read} Novel yb][Du Shi can only smile bitterly.

Wow, wow, wow.

An unhurried knock suddenly sounded from outside the door, and the second frowned a little unpleasantly, he had already told him not to disturb him, and it was only five minutes before someone knocked on the door...... Wait, is there any new news? II immediately got up and opened the door, and instead of some councillor or general, he was a gray-haired old man, dressed in a neat butler's suit, holding a bottle of wine and an object wrapped in leaves, not knowing what was inside.

"Teacher......? You...... What are you doing here? ”

His name is Chad, twenty years older than the second, and he is also the royal guard who protected the second who went to war for the first time, and he is also one of the cabinets of Jiawen I, after being unable to go to the battlefield because of age, the other surviving guards chose to return home, only Chad chose to stay here, and assumed the position of the head of the light shield dynasty, for the second, Chad is not only his guard, but also his ancestors and mentors, although there is a gap in status, but the second never calls him by his name, but as "teacher" to call him.

"Of course I'm here to see you, what? Are you resting because you're tired just coming back? "Chad doesn't speak like a housekeeper, it's just when he's alone, and in other cases, he's pretty decent.

"Hmm...... Yes. ”

"So you're so tired that you can skip meals and discuss with a group of people for half a day?"

A merciless word to puncture the lie, facing the wryly smile of the second, Chad sighed lightly, but he quickly turned into a joke smile, and at the same time shook the leaf bag in his hand: "This is what I just made, do you want to taste it?" ”

"It's ......!" The Second seemed to understand something, and after making sure that there was no one around, he pulled Chadra into the room, and said like a child, "Hurry up, hurry up!" It's been a long time since I've tasted this deliciousness! ”

Chad smiled slightly, and couldn't help but open the leaves slowly.

It may be a little disappointing that there are not any delicacies inside, just a few pieces of the most ordinary soldier's rations, but a thick layer of strawberry jam on top of them looks quite tempting.

This is the most delicious food in the heart of the second, when he first went to the battlefield, what he could eat was no longer the carefully cooked dishes in the kitchen, but just this kind of coarse rations rich in nutrients and energy but with a mediocre taste, how could the second who was just an ordinary teenager at the time accept this kind of food, and he didn't eat a few meals in a fit of anger, before he got angry, Chad solved this trouble quite timely with the wild strawberry jam he invented, and since then, this has become the second world's favorite food.

"Thanks!" The second took a big bite without caring about his image, in fact, he didn't eat much for lunch today, and he was already hungry enough, but because he was in a bad mood, he didn't feel it all the time.

"Eat slowly, don't choke!" Chad hurriedly poured him a glass of wine, and for some reason, the scene in front of him did not look like a master and a butler, but more like an ordinary father and son.

Looking at the gobbling up of the second, Chad didn't speak, he just watched silently, from time to time to fill his wine glass, and after he had eaten two pieces, Chad finally opened his mouth when he picked up the third piece and asked, "Now can you tell me what happened?" What did His Excellency Reginald do to make you so anxious to appoint the crown prince? ”

"Whew...... That's ......" II paused, and finally told him everything.

“…… That's about it, teacher, what do you think I should do? ”

"How? You already have the answer in your mind, don't you? After listening to everything, Chad couldn't help but shake his head, and while tapping lightly on the table with his hand, he said to the second, "According to your character, if you don't want to do this, you have already vetoed it, since you are hesitating, it means that you want to accept this suggestion, but you can't convince yourself, don't you deny this?" ”

“…… Yes, but if I accepted this condition, then what we did before ......"

"Even if Demacia's practices haven't changed for thousands of years, you should remember that I taught you before, 'Everything has to change according to the situation'" Chad interrupted II's words, "The reason why we chose war is only to get peace, and now that there is a chance for peace, why cling to everything in the past?" Every year, a group of teenagers of the same age as you did thirty years ago join the battlefield, and they may or may not come back, which is really what you want to see? There is one thing I may not mention, but you should know it yourself...... Is it true that the life of the people of Demacia is better today than it was thirty years ago? “

The second opened his mouth but did not speak, Chad was right, after coming to the continent of Varoran, although the two sides had a hundred years of peace, but after more and more conflicts made everything accumulated in this hundred years quickly depleted, in order to supply the army, Demacia's taxes increased year after year, even if the increase was not large, it was still an additional burden for the people.

"Teacher, you mean...... Should I choose peace for the sake of the people? After a long silence, the Second finally spoke.

"It's just a reason," Chad paused for a moment and continued, "In your narrative, the man named Svein said something very interesting, and you think it's dangerous, don't you?" “

"That's right, Reginald revealed to him information that shouldn't be revealed, Burnham is definitely not a guy who will give in to others, he will definitely take this opportunity to send troops to other countries in the name of League of Legends, and then take the opportunity to defeat League of Legends......"

"It's just the best strategy," Chad interrupted II, "If I were Burnham, I would definitely choose to have Demacia send an emissary, and then send someone to sabotage it, so that all the spearheads would be pointed at Demacia, and Noxus would be able to get the maximum benefit at the least cost." “

"So what are we going to do? Reginald's plan is already a sort of trick, so can we just sit here and be in a hurry? The second was in a hurry, and immediately got up from his seat, and the wine in the overturned glass spilled on the floor.

"Things are not so bad my king, even if he leaves Demacia, after so many years of experience in warfare, Lord Reginad will not be unaware of Burnham's approach, even if Noxus agrees to join, he will definitely be wary of these possibilities, if this organization can function normally, we can completely let Lord Reginald restrict Noxus on some key issues and use this to contain them."

"What do you mean...... Can League of Legends perhaps become a tool that can suppress Noxus without relying on force and with political manipulation alone? It dawned on him.

"Exactly, but everything I'm speculating on has the premise that Noxus must think that League of Legends is profitable and willing not to fight against it for at least a while," Chad reminded very quickly, "If we make a very quick decision to join League of Legends now, the Noxians will definitely think that there is some kind of secret between us, as you said, Burnham is not a guy who will give in to others, and if he refuses to join, then things will get troubled." “

"So, we shouldn't make any big moves now, but we should pay attention to Noxus' attitude first, and as long as they show enough interest, we can naturally join?" The second had already understood what Chad meant, and he ate the third piece with some excitement,

"That's right, but before that, I suggest that we should first send an envoy to negotiate with Noxus on the surface, and secretly send a few more people to Noxus to find out the news, if they are willing to join, then we can wait for the opportunity, and if they are not willing to join, we can also use the power of the League of Legends to exert some small pressure on them."

Do you send someone secretly...... The second had a candidate in his heart, but when he thought of his name, the second hesitated for a moment, and he looked at the photos placed on the cabinet, and a bitter taste welled up in his mouth.
