Jarvan III put down the diplomatic letter in his hand with an ugly expression. Seeing that the Noxian envoy under the throne dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, the king who lowered his head gave a stern look to his staff, who then said with a forced smile.
.
"As for your country's request, Your Majesty still needs to discuss it with all the ministers of the kingdom before giving an answer. Otherwise, your envoy will rest first. When we have the result, we will naturally invite your envoy to come to the banquet. Give your answer,
how?"
It seemed that he knew that the letter he sent was equivalent to trampling the face of a country to the ground. Facing the Noxian envoy who could change his attitude at any time and bring disaster to himself, he had no arrogant attitude and instead spoke in a deep voice to console him.
"His Majesty Leicester told me before I went on an mission that no matter whether this trip is life or death, I have to convey what I need to say to His Majesty Jarvan. I wonder if you can give me some time? Wait until I finish speaking,
Whether it’s killing or beheading, I have fulfilled His Majesty Leicester’s instructions.”
Jiawen III said coldly.
"Tell me, I also want to know what other instructions the Holy Emperor, who has always been overbearing, has for me, the little king of a small country."
The envoy said calmly, not caring about Jiawen III's sarcasm.
"His Majesty Leicester said personally that Demacia and Noxus are two countries that have a long history. Demacia and Noxus have been good neighbors and friends since ancient times. Even if there are some minor frictions, both sides have always exercised restraint.
China is not an enemy, and there is no need to be an enemy. It can become the closest ally in the future.
What His Majesty Leicester means is that if His Majesty Jarvan agrees to the conditions in the letter, His Majesty Leicester is willing to marry Demacia.
When the two countries get married, Demacia will become a country within a country in Valoran. In the current territory of Demacia (referring to the west of Green Teeth Peak-Eternal Peak, the south of Urus Mountains, and the north of Shimmering Silver Mountains)
The west coast of the Sea of Conquerors), enjoys absolute autonomy, and by then the ruling status of the Light Shield family will be recognized by the Holy Emperor."
Hearing this, the cold-faced Jiawen III couldn't help but feel his breath stagnate, and felt faintly moved.
Speaking of the light shield family's family biography, the most recorded thing is not the light shield family's affairs, but how much humiliation Demacia suffered from the Noxus Empire, and its expectations for future generations - expectations for the descendants of the light shield family
Being able to stand up and bring down the Noxus Empire can be regarded as a bad breath.
From nine hundred years ago to today, the Guangdun family has been most worried about their increasingly powerful neighbor to the east.
This neighbor has never been restless and is keen on expansion and conquest. From the founding of the country to the present, there has never been peace for a hundred years. It is either at war or on the way to war.
Coupled with the emergence of numerous talents and the emergence of an immortal Lord of the Emerald Territory, the Noxus Empire is now the out-and-out overlord of Valoran. Even Ionia is being eroded by the empire.
Sooner or later it will become the back garden of the empire,
For a long time, what Jarvan III's fathers were most worried about was that the imperial power of the Lightshield family would end in their own hands. But if it is true as the imperial messenger said, the Holy Emperor is willing to recognize Demacia's status and ensure that the Lightshield family
The right to rule for generations... In that case, Jarvan III would be able to fulfill his father's wish.
There is no need to fight, and there is no need to worry about losing. With the size of the Holy Emperor, once a treaty is signed and announced to the world, he will never easily break the treaty and attack Demacia.
Nowadays, the Noxus Empire is too powerful and suppresses the entire continent of Valoran like a god. Any small means will not work. Looking at it this way, it is better to choose to surrender and marry a few women.
As if he could tell that Jiawen III was already moved, a smile appeared on the messenger's face.
"I think His Majesty Jarvan should also know that the Empire is invincible and unstoppable. Sooner or later, His Majesty Leicester will lead the Empire to unify the entire Runeterra. This is something that is obvious to all.
In the future, both the Principality of Valoran and the Kingdom of Northland will become part of Noxus and be directly ruled by the Holy Emperor. They will not even have the opportunity to marry His Majesty Leicester. Only Demacia has such an honor.
and qualifications,
Having an in-law, Deno, is like a family. His Majesty Leicester has said that the result he wants is to drink with His Majesty Jarvan, not to fight with swords.
In this way, I have turned to His Majesty Leicester's words, and the stakes have also been explained. How to choose, His Majesty Jarvan must have made his own decision."
The envoy bowed and said very cruel words with a calm expression.
"If there is no reply after three days, I will drink poison and risk my life. At that time, the door of peace between Germany and Norway will be permanently closed. I hope His Majesty Jarvan knows the powerful relationship between this."
The corner of Jarvan III's mouth twitched. Damn, these barbarian messengers have always been so arrogant and domineering, but they always find Demacia's weaknesses, making people feel that they can't survive unless they agree to the other party's conditions.
Damn it, why can't Demacia be as powerful as Noxus?
In his heart, he wished he could kill this messenger right now, but Jarvan III showed a smile on his face and looked at the commander of the Fearless Vanguard.
"...Tiana Crown Guard, you are responsible for protecting the safety of the envoy and entertaining them... Do you understand?"
The blond young female general named Tiana bowed and laid her hand on the hilt of the mithril sword, her aura was equally extraordinary.
"If the envoy is harmed in the slightest, Tiana is willing to raise his head and come to see him."
After Tiana led the envoy out of the palace, Jarvan III, who had dismissed the court meeting, came to the back garden and called the maid to massage his temples with a headache.
"Trouble, the other conditions are fine, but I am focusing on the Forbidden Stone Forest. That is the foundation of our country. The Noxians don't take Demacia seriously at all... But Noxans
The Sri Lankan empire is so powerful, how hateful! Germany has been repeatedly bullied."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Your Majesty, do you think there is a possibility..."
The staff on the side lowered their voices and said,
"There are indeed some treasures in the Forbidden Stone Forest that we don't know about. The Noxians want to get treasures from the Forbidden Stone Forest in order to destroy the foundation of our country.
By then, without the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest as a supplement, our country's Forbidden Demon Stone will only be used less and less, and then evil magic will invade this land... How can the soldiers of the kingdom fight against the evil magic from the outside world?
At that time, the fate of Demacia will really be in the hands of the Noxians. In my opinion, the words of the barbarians should not be taken lightly."
Nodding in agreement, Jarvan III didn't know that if he agreed to the Noxian's request, his staff's words might come true at any time.
No matter how bad Demacia is today, it can still suppress the magic of Noxus through the magic stone building. With the power of mithril weapons, Demacia is still able to fight.
If the Forbidden Stone Forest is destroyed, it won't take long for Demacia to be riddled with magic erosion. By then, Demacia will have nothing to rely on.
Agreeing to the Noxian's conditions is tantamount to giving up your trump card and putting your head under the guillotine.
"But if you don't agree, Noxus will definitely attack the border with a large army. Noxus will come and make peace with the Freljord people. When the two sides attack at the same time, Demacia will definitely lose... Middleton,
Let me ask you, are we sure of victory?"
Jarvan III stared at the staff member named Middleton without blinking. Middleton suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and was speechless.
Just kidding, if he knew how Demacia defeated Noxus, he would have gone to become a general and made great achievements. Isn't having three wives and four concubines as a manor slave better than being a grandson in front of the emperor?
"well."
After receiving the expected disappointing answer, Jarvan III waved his hand, and Middleton withdrew as if he was being amnesty.
That afternoon, Jarvan III held a secret palace meeting to make the Noxians' requests and promises public and let the ministers express their opinions.
Only now did the noble ministers know why His Majesty the Emperor looked so bad after reading the letter during the morning meeting.
Allowing the Noxians to go to the Forbidden Stone Forest is no less than giving up your wife to others.
"Your Majesty must not hand over the Forbidden Stone Forest to Noxus. This must be a conspiracy of the Noxians! They are afraid of the Forbidden Stone in Demacia, so they want to use conspiracy to destroy the origin of the Forbidden Stone.
, then Demacia will really be unable to compete with Noxus!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! Noxus looks strong today, but in fact it is suffering from internal and external troubles and cannot fight a long-term war at all. As long as we unite the Kingdom of Northland and the Principality of Valoran, we will wait until the Noxian army is dragged down by us.
At the Green Teeth Peak-Eternal Peak defense line, the two countries can attack from behind the Noxians, leaving the Noxians vulnerable from both sides.
By then, the Noxian army will be defeated, and Demacia's crisis will be over!"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to be the vanguard and take the head of Leicester's child!"
Jarvan III sat high on the throne, holding his chin with his hand and looking gloomy.
For some reason, the heroic words he usually likes to hear sound particularly unpleasant now - these ministers talk nice, but if Noxus is really so easy to deal with, why do they need to show off?
"This is simply ridiculous! You are irrationally belittling the enemy! I think you just want Demacia to be destroyed! You want the people of Demacia to die in the war for no reason!"
Jarvan III's eyes lit up and he fixed his gaze on the speaker's face. To his surprise, the person who spoke the words of compromise was actually one of the representatives of the Eagle Brand [Sebastien Laurent].
"Sami Qing, what do you think? Why don't you tell me?"
When the emperor spoke, the ministers fell silent. Sebastian Laurent took a step forward and stood on the ground, curtsying.
"Your Majesty, it is obvious to all how powerful the Noxus Empire is today. If only the Holy Emperor Lester dies, then the plan you all mentioned may be successful.
But everyone here, I want to ask, who has the ability to kill the Holy Emperor of the Noxus Empire? If someone is willing to stand up and kill the emperor of Noxus, the Laurent family is willing to become a vassal for generations, just to praise you.
The supreme achievement!"
As soon as the words came out, naturally none of the ministers could even fart.
Just kidding, when the Holy Emperor bullied the previous kings of Demacia, their ancestors were not even born yet. Apart from the gods, who in this world can say that they can deal with that old monster?
It's good if you don't get bullied, right? If Noxus hadn't sent an envoy, Demacia would still be singing and dancing in peace now. The envoy sent was a lunatic who always smiled and threatened people, and would commit suicide by taking poison if he didn't reply.
, who the hell is willing to fight with those barbarians who are not afraid of death? Wouldn’t it be nice to be the emperor’s manor owner in Demacia?
"This is the fact. The Holy Emperor is invincible. If there is no way to deal with the Holy Emperor, Noxus will only become stronger with each war and will not become a piece of sand.
That being the case, why don't we seriously consider the Noxian deal?
Your Majesty, if I heard correctly, in the secret letter, the Holy Emperor said ‘hand over the Forbidden Stone Forest’, right?”
Jarvan III nodded.
"good."
"Since it is about 'surrendering the Forbidden Stone Forest', Your Majesty, perhaps this matter can still be discussed. Maybe what the Noxians want is not to destroy the Forbidden Stone Forest, and there may be something hidden about the Noxians' conditions.
"
With a faint smile, Sebastian Laurent said in a deep voice.
"I am willing to send an envoy to Noxus to buy more time for His Majesty. If an agreement can be reached, that is all. Even if an agreement cannot be reached, Your Majesty can prepare for war early."
Jarvan III looked at the other ministers who had their heads lowered.
"My dear friends, do you have any other good ideas?"
There is no such thing as a good idea, so it would be great if someone from the Laurent family is willing to take the initiative.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "In this case, Lord Sebastian, you will be responsible for negotiating with the Noxian envoy and going to the Emerald Territory...
Let’s do this, Tiana Crownguard will be personally responsible for the safety of this mission.”
"As you command!"
That night, Sebastian called his wife Lucia and youngest daughter Fiona into the secret room of the study, and even the most trusted family guards were not allowed to enter.
"Lucia, we are finally going to realize our ancestors' long-cherished wish. The Laurent family has been waiting for this day for hundreds of years! Lord Leicester is finally going to take action on Demacia!"
"Dad, you, are you crazy? Are you a spy planted by the Noxus Empire in the motherland?"
Fiona, a fifteen-year-old girl, looked at her crazy father with some worry, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should drag her mother away and report her father to others.
Unexpectedly, Lucia also looked happy, gently holding the cute Fiona's little hand and saying softly.
"Fiona, you don't know the origin of the family. In fact, the blood of the Laurent family has always been flowing with the blood of Noxus. A long time ago, our ancestor was a member of the Emerald Territory of Noxus.
Big shot, as early as a hundred years ago, His Majesty the Holy Emperor Leicester began to lay out his plans in Demacia."
While the woman was talking, Sebastian took out an ancient scroll from the locked sealed treasure box.
Sebastian slowly unfolded the scroll that he regarded as a treasure. Fiona took a closer look. On the scroll was a portrait of a human face that was so handsome that no gender could be distinguished. Looking down, Fiona was shocked when she saw the name.
shouted.
"It's the ancestor of Noslais!"
Sebastian restrained his joy slightly and smiled.
"Yes, it is the ancestor of Noxlath. The ancestor of Noxus is the master assassin who originated the Blade of Night in Noxus. He is the personal bodyguard trained by His Majesty Leicester. He is also an extremely handsome man.
Fiona, your appearance is inherited from the ancestors of Noslaith. The ancestors of Noslais and Nelvia merged and gave birth to blood in Demacia, so that they could return one day in the future.
