Chapter 7 It feels like I’m back home
Lu Qi thought about a lot of things along the way, and seemed to be very preoccupied.
Lux, who was walking in front, was different. She was walking in a relaxed pace, swaying her arms, and seemed to be in a good mood.
Apparently, he had completely forgotten what happened on the street just now.
When Lu Qi came to the foot of Dawn Castle, he couldn't help but look up at the statue of the knight standing at the entrance of the castle. It was connected to the castle behind, and it looked extremely spectacular wearing a white windbreaker.
Dawn Castle, also known as the Royal Palace, is the palace of the third contemporary king. It is also an important place where all the royal ministers and nobles gather to discuss matters.
Under the sun, there is a floor paved with white stone bricks. Walking on it, you can feel that your mood seems to become a little heavier.
A group of patrolling guards passed by in a uniform pace.
From the entrance of Dawn Castle, there were also a few people coming in and out. Most of these people had high status.
All in all, this place doesn't seem like a place where a commoner like Lu Qi should come.
Like a regular visitor, Lux didn't care at all about the so-called serious atmosphere. She took Lucci to the entrance at the foot of the castle.
There are four guards guarding the place.
Lux showed a pleasant smile and greeted warmly: "Good afternoon!"
Her smile was very contagious, and the solemn and solemn atmosphere of the four guards seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden, making it rare for them to feel relaxed.
One of the guards gave her the same smile: "Good afternoon, Miss Crown Guard, what are you doing in the palace today?"
They seemed not surprised by Lux's arrival.
Lux then said: "I'm looking for my aunt. Is she here?"
"Lady Tiana, it seems she hasn't left this morning."
The guard thought for a while and replied, "You go in, who is this behind you?"
"my friend."
Lux answered neatly, and then asked cautiously, "Can I take him in?"
"Normally it's not allowed without a consent order."
The guard stepped aside and said with a kind face, "But there is no problem with what you said, please come in."
"Thank you!"
Lux said happily, and then led Lu Qi into the palace unimpeded.
Here, her very existence seemed to be a passport.
Lu Qi found that everyone seemed to be extremely tolerant of this blond girl. Considering her identity, it didn't seem surprising.
However, there must be part of the reason for this. No one would hate a girl who always has a smile on her face. No matter who she gets along with, she always makes people feel friendly and without a sense of distance.
At least this was how Lu Qi felt during their brief time together.
It seems that he really found the right person this time.
"Don't worry, the palace is not a place for eating people. I'm here."
Lux noticed that Lu Qi seemed to talk a lot less along the way, thinking that he was uneasy about the environment in the palace, so she comforted him.
"No, I just have a weird feeling."
Lu Qi looked a little weird and said slowly.
Lux turned to look at him and asked curiously: "What does it feel like?"
Lu Qi said with emotion: "It feels like I'm back home."
"." Lux was quiet for a second and laughed twice in coordination: "Haha. This joke is not very funny."
She thought Lucci was exuding his sense of humor, but it didn't seem to be full on.
Lu Qi said nothing and looked at the surrounding environment.
Dawn Castle is indeed quite big, and the two of them walked around for more than ten minutes before reaching their destination.
This seems to be where Tiana works.
Tiana is Lux's aunt, whose full name is Tiana Crownguard. She is the current head of the Crownguard family and the current marshal of Demacia. In the true sense, she is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
This alone shows how high his status is.
Lux put her hand on the door and knocked three times rhythmically, making a knocking sound. At the same time, she said, "Auntie, I'm here to see you."
Waited for a moment and got no response.
"Strange, aren't you here?"
Lux opened the door politely and looked inside. Sure enough, no one was inside.
"We'll look elsewhere."
Lux closed the door and walked in one direction.
Lu Qi could only follow, and the two of them wandered around the palace together. Occasionally they met a few people who cast surprised glances on the road.
Naturally, they were not surprised by Lux. They were more curious about who the man was following Miss Crown Guard.
"Miss Lux, why are you here?"
At this time, a greeting came from the side, and it seemed that he knew Lux.
Following the voice, I saw that the person greeting me was a young man wearing a gray and black short robe, probably in his mid-twenties.
He stood in front of the exit leading outside, as if waiting for something.
Lux recognized the other party and said hello: "Good afternoon, little brother Calvin, have you seen my aunt?"
Calvin pointed to the back and said: "Lady Tiana is walking in the back garden with His Majesty, accompanied by Master Roy and the others, who seem to be discussing something."
Lux looked outside and found no one, so she asked, "When will they come out?"
Calvin shook his head: "I don't know, but several adults have been in there for a while."
"Oh well."
Lux glanced at Lu Qi and said, "Let's wait here for a while."
Lu Qi nodded. He was naturally not in a hurry. In other words, it was not easy to reach the palace directly on the first day in the capital.
Moreover, he could also catch a ride with Lux and meet some top-notch big shots.
If Lu Qi is alone, I don’t know how long he will have to struggle?
How much effort will be saved during this trip?
Calvin looked at Lu Qi, said nothing, and stood there quietly.
Lu Qi was a little more cautious and stood still silently.
Only Lux seemed to be unable to take any time off. She walked around and looked around. Now she would pick at the portraits on the wall, then she would tinker with the armor standing in front of the wall, and now she would play with the flowers and plants.
Then her patience was quickly exhausted. She was indeed a person who didn't like dullness, so she decided: "I can't wait any longer, I'll go in and take a look!"
Calvin smiled helplessly after hearing this: "That's not good. If I disturb those adults, I will inevitably be punished."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of you if something happens!"
Lux looked like she was not afraid of causing trouble, and directly told Lu Qi, "Wait here for now, I'll go in and take a look."
Lu Qi nodded.
Upon seeing this, Calvin gave up his resistance, let Lux pass by, and went to the garden.
