Chapter 14 The German Governor
Lu Qi could finally be alone.
He processed the messy information in his mind and took a long breath.
Lu Qi was not sure what would happen in the future.
At the moment, he can only take one step at a time. At least, he seems to be a long way ahead of many people now.
If possible, Lu Qi hopes that he can become stronger.
Sitting on the sofa, Lu Qi fell asleep before he knew it.
What woke him up was a knock on the door. The person didn't seem to want to break in rashly. He just knocked on the door rhythmically and didn't make any noise.
After Lu Qi opened his eyes, he got up in a daze and came to the door to open it.
Standing outside the door was a black-haired man who looked to be in his thirties or forties. He stood upright and wore a white collar. He had conspicuous black hair and black eyes. His eyes were like those of a battle-hardened veteran, full of stories.
If there was anyone in Demacia who was best recognized, it would probably be the man in front of me.
"Your Majesty Zhao Xin, please see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Xin Zhao lowered his head and bowed in salute, his voice sonorous and powerful.
"Manager Zhao, please get up."
Naturally, Lu Qi did not dare to show off in front of this person. Although he was a prince, he had to respect Xin Zhao.
Without him, the person in front of me is called the German Governor.
In addition to being a familiar hero, this title also shows his status in Demacia.
Demacia is referred to as Debon, and a man who can become the general manager of Demacia naturally has a high status.
Secondly, Xin Zhao is also the personal bodyguard of Jarvan III and is one of the strongest men in Demacia.
The story of their monarch and his ministers is still popular among the people.
Over the years, as long as Xin Zhao is around, no assassination attempt has been successful against Jarvan III, even if it is to hurt Jarvan III.
Xin Zhao is not a Demacian, but he is now unanimously recognized by the people, which shows that he is extraordinary.
"Please come in and talk."
Lu Qi gave up his position and headed into the house.
Xin Zhao didn't say much and entered together.
The two sat opposite each other, looking at each other. Lu Qi spoke first: "Manager Zhao, what do you want to see me for?"
"I'm here for two things."
Xin Zhao looked at Lu Qi and sighed, "The first thing is to express my belated apology, both to you and to Mellie."
Lu Qi knew that Xin Zhao would definitely have something to say next, so he sat quietly and waited for the rest.
"It was a dereliction of duty on my part to let the royal blood wander outside for more than eighteen years."
Xin Zhao said in a complicated tone, "In the beginning, I was already your majesty's guard. She escaped from Noxus and was alone. When I saw her, I felt sympathy and recognized her as my sister. The relationship between her and your majesty Love also involved me to a certain extent. At the time, I felt that this was not a bad thing.
If I had known that this would harm 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 and left, I wanted to look for her, but at that time, the king returned victorious from the battle, the whole country celebrated, and countless people gathered in the royal capital. I cannot guarantee that the King will remain safe while I am gone.
It was this brief hesitation that caused me to lose the best opportunity to search. Later, I sent people to look for it, but there was no result. "
His tone was extremely remorseful.
The relationship between him and Mellie was like that of brother and sister, but he failed to fulfill his responsibilities as an elder brother.
Xin Zhao believes that it was him who caused things to become like this.
"Actually, I'm not qualified to say anything on my mother's behalf."
After listening to this, Lu Qi thought for a while and said, "But I think if my mother was still alive, she would not blame you. Because, in my opinion, the original choice was her own decision, even if she was tortured by illness. Even at the last minute, she didn’t regret the decision she made.”
"Thank you for your comfort, but a mistake is a mistake, and I won't run away from anything."
Xin Zhao, like Jarvan III, could vaguely see the original Mellie through Lu Qi's eyebrows. He sighed again, "Where is she now?"
Lu Qi replied: "I buried my mother in a town called Talen in the east, and I bought a place for her in the cemetery there."
After hearing this, Xin Zhao stood up and walked outside the door.
There were several people wearing white armor standing outside the door, and they seemed to have different identities.
"Have you heard what His Highness the Prince said?" Xin Zhao looked serious and said to several people, "His Highness's mother should not sleep there. She should return to the royal capital, where her lover and son are. ."
"I will deliver the Queen safely!"
Several white-armored soldiers knelt on one knee, cupped their fists with their hands, stood up quickly after speaking, and left without looking back.
They have a new mission, which is to pick up the queen who has not been officially appointed.
Xin Zhao returned to the room 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. Please get up."
Lu Qi stood up, not knowing what the next step would be.
Xin Zhao had already taken action. He stretched out his hand and touched Lu Qi's back, ribs, and waist, then his arm bones, leg bones, and even his feet with his shoes off.
Lu Qi allowed himself to be manipulated, and he also guessed what Xin Zhao was testing.
After a while, Xin Zhao stood up and sighed slightly under Lu Qi's expectant gaze: "It's a pity that His Highness's body and bones have basically grown, and his qualifications seem to be relatively poor."
What he wanted to test was whether Lu Qi could still learn martial arts and whether it was still too late.
After all, Demacia prides itself on the strong.
As a prince, it would be a good thing if he could become stronger.
But now, it seems that it is too late to practice martial arts.
Maybe it's because of malnutrition since birth.
Xin Zhao felt guilty again when he thought of this.
How can a woman with no identity certificate in Demacia live a good life with a newborn child?
Compared with Jarvan IV's, Lu Qi's body and bones were not even close to each other.
The latter's qualifications and talents are extraordinary, and coupled with the careful upbringing of the royal family since he was a child, he now has considerable strength.
Lu Qi, who was also a prince like Jarvan IV, had lived a hard life since he was a child, let alone having time to practice martial arts.
Lu Qi heard the words and understood the meaning, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
He knows what kind of world he is in now.
If it were an ordinary world, even if he didn't have the qualifications to practice martial arts, he, a prince, would still be carefree.
However, this is Rune Land!
A world where if you don’t have any strength, you may become cannon fodder at any time!
Even though he is a prince, he will be helpless in the face of future disasters!
"Don't be discouraged, Your Highness. Being a scholar is also a good choice in the future. Besides, if the conditions for eating and drinking improve in the future, it is not impossible to make changes. Some things can be made up for."
Seeing the disappointment in Lu Qi's eyes, Zhao Xin comforted him as much as possible, but in fact this possibility was not high.
