Chapter 14: The Governor of Debang
Luffy can finally be left alone.
He processed the messy information in his head and couldn't help but let out a long breath.
What will happen in the future, Lucky's certainty.
At the moment, he can only take one step at a time, at least, he seems to be a big step ahead of many people now.
If he could, Lucci wished he could be stronger.
Sitting on the couch, before he knew it, Luki fell asleep.
He was woken up by a knock on the door, and the visitor didn't seem to want to break in rashly, but just knocked rhythmically, and it was not noisy.
When Luki opened his eyes, he got up in a bit of a daze, and went to the door to open it.
Outside the door stood a black-haired man who looked to be in his thirties and forties, standing straight, wearing a white collar, with conspicuous black hair and black eyes, and his eyes were like battle-hardened veterans, full of stories.
If you want to say who is the best to identify in Demacia, it is probably the man in front of you.
"Minister Zhao Xin, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Zhao Xin bowed his head and saluted, his voice sonorous and powerful.
"Mr. Zhao, please get up."
Lu Qi naturally didn't dare to hold up in front of this person, although he was the prince, he had to maintain respect for Zhao Xin.
Without him, the person in front of him is called the head of Debang.
In addition to being a familiar hero, it can be seen from this title that his status in Demacia.
Demacia is referred to as Debang, and the status of a man who can become the governor of Debang is naturally not low.
Secondly, Zhao Xin is also the personal bodyguard of Jiawen III, and he is one of the strongest in Demacia.
The story of their monarch and minister has been passed down among the people to this day.
Over the years, as long as Zhao Xin was there, any assassination against Jiawen III had never been successful, even if it hurt Jiawen III, it could not be done at all.
Zhao Xin is not a native of Demacia, but he is now unanimously recognized by the people, which shows that he is extraordinary.
"Please come in and tell me."
Lucky's way out of the way and headed inside.
Zhao Xin didn't say much and entered together.
The two sat opposite each other, looking at each other, and Lu Qi spoke first: "Manager Zhao, is there something wrong with me?" ”
"I'm here for two things."
Zhao Xin looked at Lu Qi with both eyes and sighed, "One thing is to express my belated apology, both for you and for Merli." ”
Lu Qi knew that Zhao Xin would definitely have something to say next, so he sat quietly and waited for the rest of the text.
"It is my dereliction of duty to let the royal blood be exiled for more than 18 years."
Zhao Xin said in a complicated tone, "At the beginning, I was already a guard by His Majesty's side, and she fled from Noxus and was alone. When I saw her, I felt sympathy and recognized her as my sister. Her love for His Majesty, in which I was also partly involved, was not a bad thing at the time.
If I had known that this would have hurt her later, I might have stopped Your Majesty in advance.
Later, His Majesty the Third brought her back to the royal capital, and you know what happened.
After she wrote to leave, I wanted to look for it, but at that time, the king returned victorious, the whole country celebrated, and countless people gathered in the royal capital. I can't guarantee that the king will always be safe after I leave.
It was this brief hesitation that made me lose the best time to look. Later, I sent someone to look for it, but there was no result. ”
In his tone, there was great self-reproach.
He and Melly are like brother and sister, but he has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a brother.
Zhao Xin believes that he caused things to become what they are now.
"Actually, I'm not qualified to say anything for my mother."
After hearing this, Lu Qi thought for a moment, and then said, "But I don't think I would blame you if my mother was still alive." Because, in my opinion, the original choice was made by herself, even if she was tortured by illness to the last moment, she did not regret making the original decision. ”
"Thank you for your comfort, but, a mistake is a mistake, and I won't run away from anything."
Zhao Xin, like Jiawen III, could vaguely see the original Melli from Lu Qi's eyebrows, and he sighed again, "Where is she now?" ”
"I buried my mother in a small town to the east called Talen, and I bought her a place in the cemetery there," Luci replied. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Xin stood up and walked outside the door.
There were several people in white armor standing outside the door, and they didn't seem to be ordinary.
"Did you hear what His Royal Highness said?" Zhao Xin's expression became serious, and he said to a few people, "Your Highness's mother shouldn't sleep there, she should go back to the royal capital, and return to the place where her lover and son are." ”
"I'm going to deliver the queen safely!"
Several white-armored soldiers knelt on one knee, clasped their hands into fists, and quickly got up after speaking, and left without looking back.
They have a new mission, which is to pick up the queen who has not been officially ordained.
Zhao Xin returned to the house and stood beside Lu Qi: "The second thing is that I was entrusted by Your Majesty to come and see His Highness's body and bones, and to trouble His Highness to get up." ”
Luki stood up, unsure of what to do next.
Zhao Xin had already acted, he stretched out his hand, and on Lu Qi's back, under his ribs, and on his waist, then his arm bones, leg bones, and even his feet took off his shoes and touched them a few times.
Lu Qi was at his mercy, and he guessed in his heart what Zhao Xin was measuring.
After a while, after Zhao Xin got up, he sighed slightly in Lu Qi's expectant gaze: "It's a pity that His Highness's body bones have basically grown, and his qualifications seem to be relatively poor." ”
What he wants to test is whether Lu Qi can still learn martial arts, and whether it is still too late.
After all, Demacia, takes pride in the strong.
As a prince, if you can become stronger, it will naturally be a good thing.
And now, it seems that it is too late to practice martial arts.
Perhaps, because of malnutrition from birth.
When Zhao Xin thought of this, he felt guilty again.
How can a woman with no identity in Demacia, with a newborn child, live a good life?
Compared to Gallvin IV's, Lu Qi's body bones are simply half a star.
The latter's qualifications and talents are extraordinary, coupled with the careful upbringing of the royal family since he was a child, and now he has a good strength.
And Lu Qi, who is also a prince of Jiawen IV, has lived a hard life since he was a child, not to mention where he has time to practice martial arts.
When Lu Qi heard this, he also heard the meaning, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
He knew what kind of world he was in.
If it was an ordinary world, even if he didn't have martial arts qualifications, he would still be carefree as a prince.
However, this is the Land of Runecraft!
A world where you don't have a little strength on your body, you can become cannon fodder at any time!
Even if he is a prince, he is helpless in the face of those disasters in the future!
"Your Highness, don't be discouraged, it is also a good choice to follow the text in the future, besides, it is not impossible to make changes when the conditions for eating and drinking are improved in the future, and some things can be made up."
Seeing the disappointment in Lu Qi's eyes, Zhao Xin comforted as much as possible, but in fact, this possibility is not big.
