At noon, the square table in the banquet hall of the palace is filled with rare delicacies.

Lester sat in the main seat, and the three men from Demacia were in the guest seats, some of whom couldn't let go.

Picking up the fillet with chopsticks and putting it in his mouth, Lester smiled.

"There's no need to be informal, it's not an open banquet, there's no need to get caught up in red tape."

Hearing Lester say this, Sebastian and Tiana relaxed a little, but Fiona still kept her head down, staring blankly at the dishes on the table.

She didn't expect Lester to really bring the dish she was talking about in such a short period of time

"Miss Laurent, try it and see if it suits you?"

Fiona came to her senses and took a few chopsticks.

"It's delicious."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Lester said casually while eating.

"Speaking of which, hundreds of years ago, I went to Demacia a few times, it was really a long time ago, and now I can still recall the original events, I have to say that Demacia is a rare place of tranquility and harmony in the Valoran continent."

"Your Majesty, you mean, you've been to Demacia?"

This time it was Tiana's turn to be surprised, she thought she knew every part of Demacia's history, but she had never seen a record of it in a book or library.

"Don't be so surprised, at that time I was the proudest personal staff and tutor of the Crown Guard family."

I thought that the Emperor of Noxus had been to Demacia secretly enough, but by the time the second sentence came out, Tiana almost choked herself to death.

"Ahem, cough, cough, ......"

While Tiana was coughing, Fiona and Sebastian weren't much better.

Perhaps because Lester has an old relationship with the Crownguard family, Tiana suddenly noticed that Lester was a little more pleasing to the eye.

"Your Majesty Leicester, allow me to take the liberty of asking, which ancestor was in charge of the kingdom at that time, and which ancestor was in charge of the family?"

Putting down the chopsticks, Lester reminisced about the past.

"If I'm not mistaken, the king of Demacia at that time was Dulles Gavin, the Crownguard family, and the head of the Crownguard family was Derricks Crownguard......

Your family of crownguards continued to bear Hilda's name until Dulles became king, and it is clear that your ancestor Derex Hilda was not satisfied with the status quo.

Now it seems that his vision is quite unique, otherwise, the commander of the dreadnought vanguard may not be able to point out who it is. ”

"You're right, I was able to become the Captain of the Dreadnought Vanguard, in addition to my hard work, precisely because of my status as a member of the [Crownguard] family...... You were traveling to Demacia at that time......"

"Are you curious about my past?"

Lester smiled faintly, Tiana blushed, consciously lost her words, and was about to apologize, but listened to Lester continue.

"It's okay to talk about the past, but I also want to know what the descendants of the Crown Guard family think of their ancestors."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Leicester, for your generosity."

Tiana solemnly put down her chopsticks, stood up and bowed.

Lester waved his hand and motioned for Tiana to sit down.

"At that time, not long after I arrived in Demacia, I met a young girl named 'Miranda' on the side of the street, Miranda Crownback, Tiana, do you know who this is?"

Miranda Crown...... It was the bloodline of the Crownguard family, the daughter of the ancestor of Derricks, who participated in the construction of the Forbidden Colossus Galio. ”

"Looks like you know your family well."

Tiana noticed that men were always staring at her with a smile in their eyes when they talked about Miranda Ancestor, and her cheeks couldn't help but dry a little.

She had never experienced such restless depth of gaze.

"Coincidentally, a person who used to stealing Miranda's money bag, and there was half a street of people who could ask for help, but Miranda came directly to me for help."

"As a gentleman, how could I turn a blind eye to a beautiful maiden, and without wasting much effort, I caught the thief and returned Miss Miranda's purse."

"It was just a small matter, but the saved Miranda insisted on inviting me to his house, and I couldn't shirk it, so I could only be dragged away by Miranda...... From this, it can be seen that the girls of your crown guard family dare to love and hate, I wonder if Miss Tiana has also inherited this? ”

"This ...... His Majesty Leicester ......"

Tiana couldn't remember how many times she had swallowed, she only felt that the dignified, mature and steady sword captain in the past was getting farther and farther away from her.

Every time I talk to the man in front of me, the man always asks questions that make him feel shy.

In fact, it was just as Tiana thought, seeing that Lester and Tiana were more and more speculative as they talked, little Fiona's eyes were already a little more jealous - especially after knowing that she had a 90% chance of becoming the emperor of the empire.

"It's okay, you can wait for a good time to tell me your personal story, and I can also tell you a little story about me and Miranda......"

Lester didn't push the nervous Tiana too much, and took a sip of his glass.

"So, I walked into the estate of the Crownguard family, met Miranda's father, Derricks, and after some exchange, Derricks sent me an invitation to become a staff member of the Crownguard family, and I became Miranda's teacher as a matter of course......

At that time, Demacia was facing a military threat from the Freljords, and in the face of the Ice Witch of the Freljords, the Demacian soldiers paid a terrible price, and the border villages were not at peace.

King Dulles was really out of options, so he found me, and I pointed to the Forbidden Stone Forest on the map, and gave him a troublesome idea. ”

Hearing this, the faces of the three of Demacia changed at the same time, and Tiana could no longer maintain her reserve, exclaiming.

"You're the Leicester strategist who proposed to build the [Forbidden Stone Colossus!? Wait, Lester? That's your name? ”

Lester, who felt funny, shrugged.

"See, I didn't make up a false name to deceive you,

Galio was indeed built by the king of Dulles at my suggestion, and the master stone carver Durant who designed the image of Gallio was also recommended by me to the king of Dulles.

Because of this, the Crownguard family has contributed to Galio's construction work. ”

The indescribable shock left Tiana speechless, the Forbidden Stone Colossus Galio, which the Demacians were proud of, was run by the Holy Emperor of the Noxian Empire, and Lester, the military strategist revered by the Demacians himself,

Oh my God, is the world crazy?

Shi Shiran, the leader of Demacia's most feared enemy, came to Demacia to help the Demacians build a war spectacle?

"Isn't that a little hard to believe?"

Tiana didn't speak, and gave her answer in silence.

She prefers to believe that she is dreaming.

"Actually, it's very simple to ask for a certificate."

Lester smiled.

"After Master Durang gave me a sketch of the design, I made some minor changes - it's on the inside of Galio's right thigh, and it will be interesting to investigate it when you get back."

After lunch, Lester arranged accommodation for the three of them, but Sebastian approached Lester alone and asked for a meeting.

Finding a secluded guest room, Lester and Sebastian sat on the sofa, waiting for the royal maid to bring two cups of fragrant tea.

"Your Majesty Lester, I wonder if you recognize this thing?"

Under Lester's silent scrutiny, Sebastian carefully took out a quaint dark red ring from his pocket under pressure, and held it lightly on the coffee table with both hands, both excited and a little frightened.

Lester picked up the ring and glanced at it, and his face became a little complicated,

This ring is undoubtedly made by him from [Orichalcosm Magic Steel], and the inside of the ring also has the mark of [NS] and the knife-shaped carving of the Night Blade.

Putting the ring back on the coffee table, Lester's expression softened a little.

"Bad fate...... More than 900 years later, your descendants still remember your unattainable ambitions......

Alas, so you are a descendant of the Nosles? ”

"Sure enough, you remember your agreement with the Ancestors of the Gnosles."

"A promise is a promise, and unless I die, this promise will always be counted."

Hearing this, Sebastian was so excited that his body trembled uncontrollably, and he got up from the sofa, Sebastian knelt on one knee, put his right hand into a fist in front of his heart, and performed the ancient imperial salute to Leicester.

"Sebastian Laurent is willing to lead the Laurent family back to the Empire and serve His Majesty like the great Northroyce ancestors!

Your Majesty, Your Majesty!

The successive heads of the Laurent family have been waiting for the opportunity to return to the empire, and now it has been more than 900 years, and it is finally time for this day! ”

As he spoke, the man's tears flowed.

Staring at the descendants of North-Royce so emotionally, Lester's nose was also a little sour, and he immediately stood up to support Sebastian who was pushing the jade pillar of the mountain, and pulled the man who had entered middle age to stand up.

"If you are a descendant of the Nosles, you are a descendant of the Empire, and you are a descendant of my Leicester."

The two sat back down on the couch side by side, handed Sebastian a handkerchief, and Lester said softly.

"Sebastian, the Laurent family is bound to return to the empire, but not now, the Laurent family plays a greater role in Demacia."

Wiping his tears with a handkerchief, Sebastian nodded with red eyes.

"By Your Majesty's will."

It wasn't until Sebastian had calmed down a little that Lester asked.

"I'll just say why there's a little girl in the mission, so Fiona is the chosen betrothed by the Laurent family?"

"Fiona is the youngest daughter of the Laurent family, but also the wisest and most beautiful...... I wonder if His Majesty is satisfied? ”

"Little Fiona is indeed very likable."

A simple sentence put Sebastian at ease, knowing that his daughter was about to soar.

"In that case, why don't your Majesty leave Fiona behind?"

"It's okay to stay, but don't rush it."

Lester shook his head.

"Do you remember my dealings with Emperor Jiawen?"

"Of course I remember, Your Majesty, that's what I'm here for."

Sebastian scratched his head.

"After obtaining the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest, Your Majesty is ready to marry Demacia."

"Yes, before that, if I take Fiona, what will Emperor Gavin think of the Laurent family?"

In short, Fiona is not qualified to be a marriage partner, and she can't be a marriage partner one step ahead, after all, the Laurent family is not entirely on the side of the Light Shield family, and the candidate to marry the emperor must at least be a princess of the kingdom.

Sebastian was silent, he wasn't unaware of this, but what he wanted was to make Fiona the object of Demacia's marriage with Noxus, and try to get Lester to 'convince' Gavin III to take Fiona as his goddaughter, so that Fiona would have a name.

Now it seems that His Majesty the Emperor is still interested in other candidates.

"Looks like you understand what's at stake."

"Your Majesty, Ke Jiawen III has only one son, and if you want to choose a marriage partner, you can only choose from the Crown Guard family and the Chrisman family."

Needless to say, as the Kingdom Guardian Family appointed by the Shield Family, the Crownguard Family's loyalty to the Shield Royal Family is undoubted.

The Crownguard family has been in charge of the Warrior Guard's sharpest [Dreadnought] army of the Emperor Demacia for generations, and the position of the generalissimo of the kingdom is mostly from the Crownguard family, and Tiana is a good example.

In addition, the royal family trusts and relies on the most is the Demon Hunter family, Chrisman,

In addition to complimenting the army of the Kingdom of Demacia on the border of the kingdom, the most powerful in Demacia are the Dreadnought Vanguard Legion and the Demon Hunter Legion.

The difference between the two is that the dreadnought vanguard mostly suppresses strong enemies that ordinary armies can't resist externally, while the demon seekers suppress the reactionaries of the kingdom internally, the hidden evil mages and spies of other countries, compared to the former, the latter generally has some kind of unbridled power, and the two sides secretly control each other.

The crown guard family and the Chrisman family are the right-hand men of the light shield royal family, and the king's concubines are either from the crown guard family or the Chrisman family, and the Chrisman family also has dealings with each other and relies on marriage to maintain the relationship between the two sides.

Just as Tiana will marry Eldred, the second son of the Chrisman family, who has no power, after returning this time, in order to stabilize the relationship between the Chrisman family and the crown guard family, and use the influence of the Demon Seeker Legion to go further.

It can be said that as long as the two families do not defect at the same time, the status of the light shield royal family will never be shaken.

Lester, of course, understood what Sebastian meant, and he smiled and drank down his cup of herbal tea.

"It's not hard to find the right person, but Fiona Jr. isn't the most suitable one, you know?"

Since Lester said so, Sebastian could only nod.

"If I'm not mistaken, Gavin doesn't really mind giving up the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest, he just asked you and Tiana to come here just to prove that I would indeed let go of the Shield Royalty after this and let him continue to be his Emperor of Delma...... Am I right? ”

"You're right, the only thing Gavin III is worried about is whether the power in his hands can continue."

"It's actually very easy to solve."

Lester smiled.

"I personally take someone to Demacia Xiongdu, and King Gavin III will understand whether my promise is a joke or not"
