Chapter 283 What a bad dream
In the living room, LeBlanc's disguised male voice slowly sounded.
"Back then, I was one of the representatives of the nobility. The third generation returned in triumph, but to everyone's surprise, he also brought back a woman and planned to make her his queen."
"You should also know the story after this. I will start directly from when Mellie left the royal capital when she was pregnant."
"At that time, I and a group of ministers opposed the decision of the third generation to re-establish the queen, but the two sides were in a stalemate for a period of time. So I sent someone to find Mellie privately, tried to persuade her, and told her that her existence would affect the third generation to stabilize the kingship. It will also have a bad impact on his reputation."
"Women are emotional creatures. After Mellie heard this, she immediately decided to leave Jarvan III on her own. At that time, I was not sure whether she knew that she was pregnant. In short, she quickly decided to leave the capital and wanted to hide and remain anonymous for the rest of her life. , just look at each other from a distance."
"She agreed to me taking her out of the royal capital, but what she didn't know was that I didn't want her to survive at all."
When she said these words, LeBlanc's expression was a bit playful, and then she calmed down again, like an audience member telling a story.
Lu Qi still listened quietly.
"Originally, she would have died the day she left the royal capital. But maybe it was from that day on that my carelessness led to today's results."
There was a hint of regret in LeBlanc's words at this time: "I sent someone to send her away from the royal capital, and then she was killed on the spot when she was far away. Afterwards, I got the news that Melly was dead, and she was indeed Suddenly disappeared from the world. Or rather, disappeared from my eyes."
Having said this, her eyes condensed slightly and she looked at Lu Qi: "Even I was fooled by this trick. Before you appeared, I always thought that she was indeed dead. So when you appeared in the Grand Plaza At the moment, I knew that someone must have secretly helped you escape from the royal capital and escaped from my eyes. I want to know who that person is, the second prince."
After listening to this, Lu Qi looked at LeBlanc's inquiring eyes and smiled slightly: "It turns out there are things you don't know. Looking at your calm posture, I thought you had seen through everything."
LeBlanc said calmly: "I am calm because I know that there is no room for turning things around. In this case, what is the use of being incompetent and furious? Now that I have told you the truth of that year, Second Prince, should you also tell me the truth? Whoever helped you behind the scenes, tell me?"
After Lu Qi heard this, the smile on his face did not disappear, but became even brighter: "Do you want to know?"
As he finished speaking, he saw the flashing orange eyes on LeBlanc's beautiful face, showing strong interest. Her thin lips were lightly curled, and there was no trace of frustration on her curious expression.
It seemed to her that from beginning to end, today's rebellion and even those things a long time ago were just a game.
So Lu Qi said: "I won't tell you."
LeBlanc's face paused and she said: "I have told you the truth back then without hiding it. Now that I am about to die, why can't you let me die more clearly?"
Lu Qi chuckled and said: "So you are going to die, why do you know so much?"
Seeing that he was not ready to say anything, LeBlanc showed a thoughtful expression, her eyes twinkling, and then said: "Even if you didn't say it, I actually guessed it. If I guessed it right, he secretly helped Mel back then. After Li escaped and returned to the royal capital, the person who secretly helped you was probably the masked man."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Lu Qi's face, and saw that he also had a thoughtful expression.
"In that case, the one who helped my mother escape from you was actually a masked person?"
He said to himself.
LeBlanc was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and couldn't help but said in surprise: "You don't know?"
"How do I know?" Lu Qi raised his head and looked at the other party: "I wasn't born yet at that time. How could I know? But thank you for providing this clue."
LeBlanc didn't react for a moment: "Then what happened to you in the capital?"
At this moment, her calm eyes finally flashed with surprise and confusion.
Her initial guess was that Lu Qi's behavior was secretly supported by Jarvan III.
But later it turned out that it didn't seem to be the case.
According to her speculation, the only person who could deceive her eyes and take Melly away was the masked man who even she had little information about.
LeBlanc can be 100% sure that this masked man exists and has been secretly guarding Demacia.
It's just because of the incident between her and her sister that she has been refusing to show up.
The other party doesn't have much information about her, so both parties have been secretly testing her for so many years.
The appearance of Lu Qi made LeBlanc think that he was probably secretly guided and helped by the masked person.
The real chess players on the chess table were her and the masked man.
Only the masked man had the ability to overthrow the foundation she had built up over the years in one fell swoop, causing her to suffer such a disastrous defeat.
However, looking at Lu Qi's expression now, LeBlanc realized that even he himself seemed not to know the masked person.
This thing started to get weird.
LeBlanc suddenly discovered that there were many things she couldn't understand.
"We've almost finished chatting. It's time to send you on your way."
After Lu Qi finished speaking, the long blade in his hand had already been unsheathed.
Just when LeBlanc was distracted, the long blade had already slashed through her neck, and with the sound of sharp sword light, a head fell to the ground.
After Russell's body fell, Lu Qi saw LeBlanc's figure remaining in it gradually dissipating like a shadow in the pool.
And at the last moment, her eyes were still staring at him.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Lu Qi looked calmly.
He knew that this was just one of LeBlanc's many clones, and the death of one clone might not even affect her body.
It's even possible that she has other clones hiding in Demacia.
But it doesn't matter anymore, it's just that she can't do much trouble.
As for what LeBlanc said just now, Lu Qi naturally didn't believe it all. He was sure that this woman must have something unsaid.
Because what she just told was all told from Russell's perspective.
So what kind of story is it from her own perspective?
If her guess was true, it was the masked man who helped Melly back then.
So, what happened back then was certainly not that simple.
There must be hidden content.
If you ask, you will definitely not be able to find out, so there is no need to talk nonsense anymore.
As for revealing LeBlanc's identity, Lu Qi didn't think it was necessary.
Since she likes to play in secret, Lu Qi will naturally accompany her.
This guy has caused so much trouble for Demacia, it's hard to imagine how much trouble she has gotten into over the years.
Lu Qi must pay back these things one by one.
Then there are the masked ones.
Lu Qi's eyes were a bit thoughtful, and he had a vague feeling that this masked man might have been observing secretly.
He turned and walked out. The maid Yourna was waiting quietly at the door. Even though something like this happened today, there was still no expression on her beautiful face.
It was already evening outside, and his eyes shifted from Yourna's beautiful face to the setting sun. The setting sun had reached its end and shed a soft light.
The whole sky is reflected in the red clouds, which is very beautiful.
Then, he saw Jarvan IV coming towards him. An afternoon made his resolute face look a little more tired.
Too many things happened today.
Jarvan IV saw Lu Qi and spoke first: "Second brother, I am about to arrest Russell, where are the others?"
Lu Qi replied: "I have already killed him. This guy is the mastermind. Tourte and the others were all under his orders."
A trace of anger rose in Jarvan IV's eyes: "It would be too easy for him to die like this!"
"Calm down and think in another direction. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been able to catch so many moths at once."
Lu Qi smiled and patted Jarvan IV on the shoulder, "Let's go to the Grand Plaza together."
"Let's go."
Jarvan IV sighed softly, and that was all they could think.
In a sense, this is a good thing, at least it means that Demacia will have a clean tomorrow.
"A lot of people were arrested this afternoon, and many of them were unclean."
On the way, Jarvan IV spoke to Lu Qi in a slow voice.
In this afternoon, he arrested too many people.
If each of these people were examined carefully, almost none of them would be innocent.
Corruption and bribery, keeping slaves privately, hiding weapons, and using power to bully others. Some of the evidence of the crime is even on the surface.
These moths hiding in the darkness where the light cannot reach are eating away at Demacia's noble soul.
This is what made Jarvan IV angry. Before this incident, he had unwavering belief in the justice of the Demacians.
However, the fact is that he was severely slapped in the face.
What happened today made him heartbroken, and he even realized that if Lu Qi hadn't made arrangements in advance, he would have lost his most beloved father on this day.
The more he thought like this, the more rage burned in Jarvan IV's heart.
He knew that maybe it was time for him to make some changes.
Lu Qi knew that some of these people were influenced by LeBlanc.
However, there must be a part that is itself just dirty sludge and needs no influence.
And today, starting from the royal capital, he wants to eradicate them all.
At this moment, the two brothers' eyes flashed with determination.
They rushed towards the Grand Plaza, and along the way they met many civilians who were also heading towards the Grand Plaza.
Today will be a momentous day for many Demacians.
At the same time, Noxus on the other side.
Located in the capital of Noxus, underground of the Immortal Fortress, inside the dark stone doorframe is an even deeper darkness.
Walking down the winding spiral staircase, you can see intricate tunnels in the darkness, with obscure inscriptions carved on the walls and fragments of bones scattered on the stone bricks.
Everything tells the long history of this ancient fortress.
And in such a place, in a room underground, there is a luxurious big bed.
On the big bed, a graceful and graceful woman slowly opened her eyes from her deep sleep. She seemed to have slept for a long time, and her orange eyes were still a little sleepy.
After she woke up, the torch in the room suddenly lit up.
"What a bad dream."
She yawned and stood up from the bed. Her voluptuous body was naked, white and smooth, and full of seductive flavor.
She stretched out a crystal clear jade foot and stepped on the ground, but suddenly a shoe appeared on her foot.
Immediately afterwards, there were smooth clothes on her slender jade legs and graceful body.
After a while, the door was opened, and a woman with the same appearance walked in carrying a cup of hot tea at a suitable temperature.
She naturally took it from her hand, brought it to her mouth, took a sip and savored it carefully.
Then, she lowered her eyes slightly, and the tea in the teacup in her hand swayed slightly. Above the water, a reflection of a man suddenly appeared. He had a handsome face, a dignified appearance, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and was full of masculine charm.
In terms of beauty alone, even after all these years, few can match her.
Just looking at it, it is indeed very eye-catching.
But it was such a man who ruined the great game she had built for hundreds of years.
"Second Prince of Demacia, what kind of person are you?"
Her eyes sparkled with curiosity, and she shook the teacup in her hand slightly, causing the reflection in the cup to sway.
After looking at it twice, she raised the cup and continued to drink tea, thinking about things thoughtfully in her eyes.
To be honest, it had been a long time since she had failed so completely.
In just one day, she went from being able to influence major decisions in Demacia to now having no influence at all.
After this day, I believe that the influence she has left in other areas of Demacia will probably be eradicated.
There are two key figures, no, three.
The masked man, the second prince, and Mellie.
It can be said that Mellie is the real cause of her current failure.
Since when?
Ever since she betrayed her
Although she is dead now, her child has survived, and she has made such a big mistake.
The prince acted as if he didn't know the masked man existed, but she was sure that the masked man was always there.
In other words, there are two possibilities.
One is that the prince lied deliberately.
The other is that he really doesn't know.
If it's the latter, then things get interesting.
During the time she spent with the prince, she did discover the mystery in him.
It had been a long time since she had met someone who could arouse her interest like this.
It was a pity that if according to her speculation, the masked man was also secretly observing the prince, she would not be able to approach him in another form.
However, she was not in a hurry.
To many people, time flies by in vain, but to her, it is the most worthless thing.
She is a very patient person.
