The Demacia envoys stayed at the Foreign Guesthouse under Lester's arrangement.

The Fidelite Foreign Guests' Hotel is located in a secluded area in the inner city, and its beautiful scenery is one of the few even in Fidelite.

The manor is surrounded by moonlight birches with sound-absorbing properties, and many magical plants are planted in the flower beds. The flowers bloom to seek the sun, and the stamens scatter to chase the moon.

There is no need for Piltover's electric lights or candlelight braziers. At night, the magical plants in the manor will emit a hazy and beautiful natural shimmer, bright enough to illuminate the dark night, but not dazzling.

The Jingyue Lake next to the flower garden is full of fish, sparkling, and the clear lake reflects the stars in the sky magnified by the Osgoode Tower. The beautiful moon disk can be touched with one's hand, giving people the ethereal illusion of wandering through the stars.

Hundreds of seven-color fireflies by the lake sometimes disappear into the darkness, sometimes flashing with fluorescence, like silk satin of light flowing in the air.

Walking along the manor's bluestone-carved flagstones, Fiona left the banquet hall and found an unusual sense of tranquility and joy. This was a shock different from the [Magic Hot Spring] and [Magic Stove].

Fiona firmly believed that the stunning scenery in front of her could never appear in a depressing and solemn city like Demacia. Compared with the proud capital of Demacia, Feidelet was more like a place that should not exist.

In the magical wonderland of the world.

According to the forbidden demons, the origin of all evil is magic, but wherever magic exists, it is accompanied by corruption and decay. Here, Fiona only felt the wonder and beauty of magic. Under order, magic

It facilitates life and embellishes ordinary colors, but the darkness and chaos of magic cannot be seen.

Indulging in the silence of the night, Fiona began to wonder whether her country's bottomless ban on demons was something worthy of praise.

Thinking of this, Fiona felt that the Demacians were a bit pathetic.

Because of the propaganda of the Demacia royal family and the conflicts between Germany and Noria, Demacia has always been closed to the country. Except for a few big businessmen with backgrounds who exchange goods between the two countries, there are basically no borders between the two countries.

No immigrants.

Under such circumstances, many Demacians spent their entire lives believing that the world outside Demacia was full of riots and turmoil. Demacians who longed to live in a stable environment never left Demacia throughout their lives.

A closed land, until I was buried in the earth and took my last breath, I never saw the beauty of the world.

"This is what the kingdom calls a 'barbaric and vulgar' country. While Demacians are still chopping wood for cooking, these 'barbarians' can already use magic stoves to boil water and make porridge without leaving their homes."

Stopping by the lake, Fiona was convinced that she preferred this "barbaric and vulgar" country to the capital of Demacia.

At least the Noxians are a little arrogant, but they don't have the inherent prejudice of the Demacians.

Apparently the young Fiona still didn't know that in the eyes of the Noxians, the Demacians were 'upright little cowards hiding in the cracks of the rocks'.

"Fiona, do you like it here?"

Her father's voice came from not far behind her. Fiona turned around and watched her father slowly walking towards her.

"I'm not sure if I like it."

"But if I were given a choice, I think I would rather live here than Demacia."

Fiona told her truest thoughts, and Sebastian smiled. He was not surprised that his daughter would give such an answer, because he thought so too.

The relationship between the Laurent family and the empire must not be severed.

"My daughter, it seems you already have your own answer."

"Dad, now I know why you specially arranged teachers to teach us the history of Noxus, so that we should not be prejudiced against Noxus... If there was prejudice, I would never come here, how could it be possible?

See such a wonderful view?"

A firefly landed on Sebastian's fingertips, and the man agreed very much with his daughter's words.

"It is always difficult for people to accept things beyond their own knowledge... Fiona, I am the same. This is the influence of the country on the people - if every Demacian knows that magic is so wonderful, then Demacia

Marcia will fall apart in an instant,

If our family ancestors had not forgotten their bloodline roots, I am afraid that we would not be able to see the world clearly."

The smart Fiona heard the implication of her father's words. It was obvious that Emperor Jarvan chose his own power between the progress of the Demacians and the power of the Lightshield family.

"Dad, if everyone in this world used magic like the Demacians, wouldn't there be so many poor people who don't have enough to eat?"

"Dad can't answer this question for you, because it's also his first time coming into contact with the world of magic.

Fiona, since you are here, you might as well find the answer yourself."

Sebastian turned around and walked away gradually.

Fiona let out a breath.

I hope she can find the answer she wants before leaving here.

…

Three days later, the Demacian mission living in the foreign guesthouse received an invitation from the emperor. Sebastian, Tiana and Fiona rode the carriage that came to pick them up and headed to Feide.

A certain royal palace in Wright.

The royal palace of Noxus reflects the iron-blooded style of the Noxians. The majestic and solemn gilded marble carved arches support a heavy building complex. Guards in heavy armor stand beside the towering high walls.

Elite soldiers, the palace covers a huge area, and the Demacia envoys walked for half an hour to reach their destination.

Amid the shouts of the palace guards, Fiona walked into the palace cautiously, stopped in front of the red carpet in front of the steps of the main hall, mustered up the courage to take a look at the ruler of the empire on the throne, and her breath couldn't help but suffocate.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Is the Holy Emperor of the Empire so young? Moreover, there seems to be an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

The dizzy Fiona lowered her head unconsciously.

"Long live His Majesty the Holy Emperor Leicester!"

According to the pre-rehearsed etiquette, Tiana and Sebastian knelt down on one knee to pay respect to the owner of the palace. Fiona, who was a little confused, was slow for a moment and had no time to speak, so she could only follow hurriedly.

salute.

Because of this, Fiona, who was rude, quickly received several cold and reproachful looks.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Noting that the Holy Emperor did not pursue his daughter's disrespect, Sebastian breathed a sigh of relief.

On the throne, Lester looked at the three of them, paused for a moment on the girl Fiona, and then focused on Tiana's bumpy body, and smiled.

"His Majesty Jarvan is actually willing to send a dashing beauty like Captain Tiana as an envoy to the empire. It seems that His Majesty Jarvan is very sincere."

With Tiana's blushing face slightly annoyed, Lester turned his eyes to Sebastian.

"Tell me, what does Demacia want to discuss with me? Are you dissatisfied with the deal I proposed?"

Seeing that Tiana, who has an arrogant personality and a hot temper, did not show any rude behavior, Sebastian couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and bowed.

"I returned to Your Majesty without any dissatisfaction. His Majesty Jiawen just wanted to know more specifically what the purpose of your country's request for the Forbidden Demonic Stone Forest is.

The Forbidden Stone Forest is the foundation of Demacia. This matter is serious. If His Majesty Leicester does not want to destroy the Forbidden Stone Forest, His Majesty Jarvan may agree to the deal proposed by His Majesty Leicester..."

"'Maybe'? No need to test. I want the land in the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest for no other reason than to destroy the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest."

Lester's smile faded and he said calmly.

"We might as well open the sky and speak frankly. Don't bargain with me on the basis of the founding of the country. In the entire Valoran continent, only the Noxus Empire is your imaginary enemy, and it is also the only imaginary enemy.

Demacia's 'foundation' is to fight Noxus, and now I have promised the Lightshield family Demacia's autonomy, and I still want to bargain?"

"Since we are unwilling to hand over the Forbidden Stone Forest, the Empire's cavalry will personally seize it... If there are no other suggestions, I don't think we need to continue talking."

As he spoke, Lester began to fall asleep, making the three people under the throne a little anxious.

Throwing out the words he had prepared in advance had no effect. Sebastian looked at Tiana and winked. Seeing Tiana nodding with an ugly expression, he spoke.

"Your Majesty, I apologize for my humble words.

In fact, His Majesty Jarvan's intention is not that the Forbidden Stone Forest cannot be handed over, but without the Forbidden Stone Forest, Demacia's Forbidden Stone buildings will be difficult to maintain. When the time comes, magic will inevitably invade Demacia, which will inevitably cause huge riots.

"

Lester said coldly.

"Then your Majesty Jarvan means that I have to help him find a way to continue to expel magic? Do you still want me to build an Osgood for him in the palace?"

"this……"

"It's not impossible. If His Majesty Jarvan is willing to abdicate and hand over the imperial power, I can consecrate His Majesty Jarvan as the Provincial Consul in Demacia...

Of course, by then the laws of Demacia will have to be changed to the laws of the Noxus Empire. Can His Majesty Jarvan accept such a result?"

Sebastian smiled bitterly to himself. Handing over the land of Demacia was possible, but handing over the imperial power of the Lightshield family was impossible. Jarvan III sent him to negotiate and take advantage, not to surrender.

"It seems that the envoys have not figured out what they are here to discuss with me. There is still some time before the noon banquet. You two can think about it carefully."

Lester changed the topic and looked at Fiona who was silent with her head lowered.

"This is the daughter of the Laurent family, Miss Fiona Laurent?"

"Your Majesty, my name is indeed Fiona Laurent."

In a daze, Fiona introduced herself to her family in an extremely shameful way. Only when the words came out of her mouth did Fiona feel that something was wrong.

"Miss Laurent, you seem to be afraid of me?"

Lester narrowed his eyes.

Sebastian hurriedly opened his mouth to cover.

"Your Majesty, this is my first time traveling far away to experience such an important event. Your Majesty seems to be a god. It is inevitable that my daughter will feel admiration for you. I am rude because of this. Please forgive me."
