Chapter 35 Falling apart!
The celebration lasted for two hours, so even after the celebration ended, the entire royal capital seemed more lively than usual.
And what Lu Qi is busy with today has just begun.
As soon as I returned to Dawn Castle, before I could sit down and take a sip of water, a noble came to say hello, introduced himself, and sent congratulatory gifts.
Xin Zhao said that this is also a process that Lu Qi must go through.
Not only did he need to remember these nobles, these nobles also needed to remember him.
As soon as the first noble left, a new noble came in.
And Lu Qi had to receive these people one by one.
He was like a tool man. He could still smile at the beginning, but later his smile became numb and he repeated the process over and over again like a machine.
Who can tell me how many nobles there are in the royal capital?
Finally, the process of getting to know the nobles was completed, and there was still something to do, and that was the dinner in the evening.
The dinner was held by Jarvan III and convened by many nobles. The location was the Castle of Dawn at his feet, and the purpose of the dinner was naturally to celebrate Lu Qi.
Therefore, as the protagonist, he must appear.
But at this time, it is not as troublesome as in the afternoon, because all the nobles who should be known are known.
It was said that it was a dinner prepared for Lu Qi, but in fact it was just that the adults changed places to talk about things.
"Your Highness, are you ready?"
Before the dinner started, someone came to urge me.
"alright."
Lu Qi adjusted his clothes and was still wearing the clothes he had worn in the morning. The prince's crown on his head had already been put up.
Jarvan IV said there was no need to carry this thing around all day, as his one was gathering dust at home.
After all, even if he doesn't bring it, no one in Demacia doesn't know his identity.
Following the servant who came to call him, Lu Qi rushed towards the dinner venue.
His task is to give a speech before the dinner begins. After that, he can do whatever he wants without leaving the party.
When we arrived at the place, the lights were already bright, and everything for the dinner was fully prepared. All kinds of sumptuous delicacies were placed there as if they were on their own, and countless desserts were at the other end.
Drinks and drinks are placed in two areas, and there is even a retro gramophone playing leisurely music.
The guests have all arrived and are waiting for the protagonist to enter. The nobles are all wearing grand attire.
Lu Qi opened the door, and his still bright appearance suddenly attracted a lot of attention.
Eyes focused on him, the music on the gramophone stopped in time.
"Welcome everyone to the banquet. Everyone here is a decent person. There is no point in talking nonsense. I only have one sentence. I hope everyone can enjoy today's dinner."
Xin Zhao prepared a manuscript for him to say on stage, but it contained a lot of content. Later, he saw Lu Qi busy all afternoon, and told him that it didn't matter if he didn't have a manuscript.
So Lu Qi just played freely.
He was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he just said a few words, and the gramophone that had just stopped started ringing again.
The nobles present came to their senses and clapped one after another. They didn't pay much attention to it, and the atmosphere was still pleasant.
After all, Lu Qi is the protagonist today.
"Father."
Lu Qi walked up to Jarvan III and bowed respectfully.
At this time, Jarvan III was talking to Roy. When he saw Lu Qi coming, he smiled and said, "Go and play, don't worry about others."
"Um."
Lu Qi nodded and left.
The tense whole body also relaxed.
He saw a man with white hair and a white beard, over fifty years old, but still upright and tall, approaching and saluted again: "Uncle Barrett."
This person is Barrett Bouvier, Kashina's father and a good friend of Jarvan III.
Two days ago, Jarvan III introduced Lu Qi.
"Good boy, it looks like you are very tired today."
Barrett laughed and joked.
Lu Qi smiled helplessly.
"I won't tell you anymore. Don't you know Xiaona? She won't be here until a while. My uncle has prepared a gift for you today. I wish you a happy day."
Barrett left these words mysteriously and left.
Lu Qi was a little curious, but he didn't catch up and ask.
He just wanted to find a place to sit down and rest. He had no interest in the staple food, so Lu Qi targeted the sweets section.
Sweets are also one of his hobbies.
However, when we got here, it was inevitable to meet her.
As soon as Lu Qi arrived, his eyes met with the blonde girl. She was holding a plate with a cake on it.
The moment their eyes came into contact, Miss Crown Guard snorted and then turned her head.
"Are you still angry?"
Lu Qi was sitting on a chair nearby. Miss Crown Guard was also dressed very outstandingly today, as exquisite as a princess.
"Angry? What are you talking about? These two words are not in my dictionary, Lux."
Lux turned her head and gave a fake smile.
The next second, the fork in her right hand was stabbed into the cake.
"cough."
Looking at the horrible-looking cake, Lu Qi coughed dryly and said, "What happened last time was my fault. In fact, I have always wanted to apologize, but I have been too busy these days and can't spare any time. Look at today Didn’t I come directly to you tonight?”
Because his crown guard lady was beaten for no reason.
In fact, when I want to apologize in my heart, I can only say a little bit, but when I think about apologizing later, I don't think about it at all.
However, seeing how Miss Crown Guard is doing today, if she doesn't say something, she won't be able to get over this hurdle.
"real?"
Hearing his sincere tone, Lux turned her head, her eyes a little suspicious.
"real."
Lu Qi nodded extremely seriously.
"That still doesn't work!"
Lux, who was a little shaken at first, suddenly recalled what she had experienced that day in her mind, and her tone quickly became firm, "The trust between you and me was broken into pieces just like the cup that day."
After she finished speaking, she hummed again, picked up the fork, and ate half of the cake in one bite.
"Then I didn't lie to you. Just tell me, did you discover the sixth sense in the end?"
Lu Qi defended himself.
"You obviously have other, better ways!"
Lux said through gritted teeth.
Lu Qi was speechless this time. It seemed that Miss Crownguard's anger would not go away for a while, and he would not disturb others' enjoyment of eating cakes.
So I took a plate, chose a good-looking cake, and ate it leisurely.
The two of them just sat there, no more than one meter apart, and kept eating without talking.
Later, it became an invisible competition.
Lux discovered that this guy actually ate faster than she did, and even ate an extra piece without knowing it.
She has never convinced anyone when it comes to eating cake.
Immediately I couldn't bear it anymore and directly accelerated my speed.
Lu Qi was already eating well, but when he saw this thing, he started to grab it. He was worried that he wouldn't have enough to eat, so he also speeded up.
As a result, the number of desserts in the dessert area is decreasing rapidly.
The two of them ate the dessert like a staple food.
Thanks to the 2018 big brother for the reward!
