Chapter 58: The Possibility of Becoming a Prince
In Noxus, you'd better have two axes ready at all times.
One is used to chop people, and the other is used against the axe that chops you.
And then you have four axes...
- Noxian Proverbs
————————————————————
A sudden letterhead and a sudden uninvited guest made the atmosphere in the room solemn.
However, Tonya's expression was always indifferent, she squinted, and focused her main attention on Aslan, the sword that exuded a cold frost slash was placed where she could take advantage of it, and at the same time she was looking at Tyrone, as if thinking about what to do if it started; Where should she start smashing this person to pieces as fast as she can?
Her current state was completely different from when she was possessed by Lisandro, full of Freljord's primal furious instincts.
"Your arrival not only ruined my breakfast, but also ruined my good mood for the day."
LeBlanc slowly took a sip of her glass, then she looked at Tyrone and gestured to Soleana, who was bowing her head to the side, her smile seemed casual, indicating that she was in a very unhappy mood right now.
"Go back and tell the General that my little Aslan will appear punctually in the Hall of Glory in the Black Hall of the Immortal Fortress."
"In that case...", quietly waiting for LeBlana to finish speaking, Tyrone glanced at Soleana's chest and saluted, his tone and mood did not fluctuate, he had an attitude towards everyone except Du Kekao, he pulled his cloak as he spoke, and casually glanced at Tonya before the figure disappeared.
The only person in this room who made him feel stressed was probably this Freljord woman who would flare up at any time.
"Mom, what's going on?" Caterina was so focused on the food on her plate that she didn't care about the occasion at all, and she even put her feet on Aslan's knees and shook them, her toes moving back and forth.
"Sit upright." Soleana glanced at Katerina, then at Aslan and at Restana, who was sitting next to her, as she considered her tone as she considered what was going on.
"Madam, today's events..."
The letterhead sent by Du Kecao could not have been faked, he was a staunch Noxian Order and the Monarchy, and the orders conveyed through his hands were the will of Darkwell.
She wondered if it was because of the intervention of the "lady", after all, the lady has never been so fond of playing according to the routine, and perhaps it was also possible that the "lady" conveyed her will through Darkwell's hand.
"It's okay," LeBlanc replied lightly, as if everything she had just taken into account.
"What happened?" Seeing that Lestana was silent, Aslan looked at her, and Tonya on the side also looked over with curiosity on her face.
"The Commander's decree that he will meet you in the Black Room tomorrow afternoon!"
"Commander?" Aslan's tone was a little hesitant, "So, what does the general think?" He thought for a moment and looked at Soleana, whose words made Caterina look up as well.
"He's got a letterhead from his most trusted subordinate, and that already shows his attitude?" LeBlanc replied in place of Soleana, "Your name should be Ancaria Aslan, not Lestana Aslan..."
Her tone was a little hesitant, although according to her own plan, sooner or later she would cause her little Aslan to break away from her wings and fly into the sky, but now she felt that this time had come too quickly, and she was not ready for anything, and she was a little reluctant.
However, she also knew that it was best for her to do nothing at such a critical time.
No one could openly oppose Darkwell's authority, many of the nobles were staunch kingly partisans, and Du Kekao never showed any particular deviation or concern for Aslan without being contrary to the general direction and interests of Noxus, even if he was Aslan's godfather.
"Madam, I want to be absent first."
Soleanna was also a little worried about Aslan, and she pressed her hand to her chest, asking uneasily, wondering if it was because the lady had some new plans.
She has always adhered to the elegant style of giving Aslan a hug, and then almost took her skirt upstairs and rushed into her room, eager to communicate with the lady to get some useful inspiration.
Entering the room, Soleana hurried into the secret room, checked Cassiopeia and relieved herself, then took out a brass mirror and recited a spell, and at the same time lit incense, and in the midst of the smoke, a pale figure appeared in the mirror.
"My lady, your humble believers thirst for your guidance." She knelt down with her hands on her chest, curled up in her shadow.
"Soleana, my believer." The pale figure's tone was subdued, but it was seductive, "I have good news for you." ”
"Good news?" Soleana, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately looked up, and then buried herself deep in fear.
The meaning of this sentence has already shown that this is the lady's plan, the lady has participated in this game, but the purpose is unknown, no one knows what the lady wants to do, Soleana does not dare to speculate.
Soon, she memorized all the edicts and information of the "Pale Lady" verbatim.
Over the past two decades of bloody partisan warfare, Darkwell has purged the opposition from within in order to consolidate his dominance, even though the former governor Ankaria was his sister.
Of course, there were very few people who knew the news, but the lady knew everything, and she had already planned it more than ten years ago, otherwise Aslan's status as the heir of the southern governor would not be worth the Black Roses' investment.
Burnham Darkwell is getting older day by day, and he is greedy for power to the point of madness, and one of the triggers for the Ionian War is that he wants to obtain the power of immortality, plus he has no heirs, Aslan has the right to inherit the throne.
All of this; It's all a long-awaited plan for a lady.
Come to think of it, no one knows the fact that Black Rose secretly raised an heir to an empire and did something crazy and terrifying.
Of course, such a huge amount of information also paralyzed Soleana's mind, and she sat on the ground in a daze, not even noticing when the lady would leave or when the ceremony would end.
Hurriedly tidying up the ritual utensils, she burned all the spell flames in one go, and then she carried the hem of her skirt and walked out of the room with almost small steps like flying, all the worries and fears in her heart before were gone!
"Oh my God! I watched Aslan grow up and become a prince under the lady's plan..."The news made her ecstatic.
She took some of the "small details" revealed by the "Pale Lady" to heart as quickly as possible, like a bright rose blooming, enthusiastic and delicate, and ran quickly to the living room downstairs, attracting the attention of a large number of servants along the way.
"Little... What about Aslan? ”
As she walked downstairs, she looked at Caterina sitting at the table and asked.
"Just left, what's wrong?" Caterina replied, a little confused.
"Well, inform the servant to prepare the carriage, we are going to a place."
And in the hurried carriage, ending the control of his phantom, LeBlanc interrupted Aslan's thoughts and doubts, and gave him an extremely warm hug.
"My little Aslan, I have something to tell you." The corners of her mouth were filled with a touching smile, and she held Aslan's cheek as if she were admiring a rare treasure.
"You say." Aslan shifted his attention, and Tonya, who was sitting on the side, also looked over.
"You; I'm about to be crowned a prince!"
LeBlanc said to him with a smile.
