"Let's get to know each other again." Lester stretched out his right hand, "My name is Lester, and I am a relatively high-status person in the Noxus Empire."
Qiyana nodded vigorously and took the initiative to shake hands with Lester.
"I can see that I just didn't expect you to be so powerful."
"You are quite powerful too, much more powerful than I expected."
"You know me?"
The girl looked at Lester with some surprise. Lester smiled gently and held the chain under Qiyana's gaze.
"I know that you are the most ambitious princess in all of Ixtar, but your methods are a little too immature... Let's go, this is not the place to talk."
"Where are you taking me?"
"At least it's better than here."
Following closely beside Lester, Qiyana looked at the exquisite collar around her neck with a little shame. The chain on the collar was held by the man in his hand, just like the nobles walking their dogs with Ixtal.
It's the same look.
After struggling for a while, Qiyana asked with a blushing face.
"Well...can you take off this thing around my neck? I can't keep wearing this thing, right? It's too embarrassing."
Lester politely declined.
"Princess Qiyana, I'm afraid this won't work. Do you know why you are locked up here?"
"Because I attacked the guards at Mara's palace?"
"You're right, but you're not attacking the palace guards, but the soldiers of the Noxus Empire.
You should feel lucky that you did not cause serious consequences, otherwise my subordinates would not only lock you up here, but I would not show up so soon,
Now you have to wear this to prove that you are my property, so that I have the authority to let you out of the lower prison, otherwise I will not be able to take you out.
I can untie this without embarrassment for you, but you have to put on the shackles again and stay here.
Don't say I didn't remind you, attacking an imperial soldier on duty is a serious crime. Even if you are a princess of the kingdom, you will have to be imprisoned for three to five years. The choice of what to do is in your hands. What do you want, do you want to be released?"
Qiyana shrank her head and suddenly lost her voice,
After being imprisoned for only two days, his body had an unpleasant sour smell, and he vomited all his food before even taking a few bites of it. Wouldn't he be finished after being imprisoned for three to five years?
As long as you can leave this hellish place of the lower prison, the shameful thing around your neck doesn't seem to be a big deal, but... being led by this powerful man who easily controlled Iso Oken, he walked openly and openly on the chain, revealing to everyone that he was
A man's possession, his body seems to have an indescribable strange feeling.
You must know that she is the tenth princess of Ixtar, a royal noble who is respected as Yuen Ale. Even if she is not welcome, no one dares to offend her. At most, she will stay away from her, unlike this person named Lester.
A Noxian noble, he put a slave collar on himself when they first met and led him around...
What she didn't want to admit the most was that she didn't seem to be too resistant to this kind of behavior. After all, the man did this to help her escape. She had heard about the empire's slavery system for a long time, and it seemed that she had really become a slave to atone for her sins.
thing.
In the strange silence, Lester led Qiyana to the most luxurious prison cell in the upper prison. The patrolling soldiers along the way did not ask anything. What shocked Qiyana the most was that she was actually in the eyes of the soldiers.
I saw the awe of myself... Is the thing around my neck so powerful? How high is Lester's status in the Noxus Empire?
Pushing open the door and walking into the [heavy-duty prison] with one room, one living room, and one bathroom, there were all kinds of dreamy foods on the table. The tenth princess of Ixtar was speechless and choked with tears in her eyes.
Sure enough, this is the prison she should live in! What the hell is the lower prison? When she, the wise queen, takes over the throne, she will definitely demolish the disgusting place like the lower prison!
Not knowing that Qiyana had once again made a wise and great decision, Lester took off the iron chain lock connecting the collar, sat on the edge of the bed and pointed to the magic bathroom.
"Eat something to cushion your stomach first, and then go take a shower. We'll talk after that. If you don't want to wear elemental robes, just look for clothes in the closet. They're all prepared according to your standards."
After giving Lester a grateful look, Qiyana didn't bother to eat anything and ran directly into the bathroom. Apparently she didn't know what it meant to take a bath after being empty for a long time.
Lester didn't say anything else. When there was a muffled sound of a water ladle falling to the floor in the bathroom, he slowly pushed open the wooden door that was not locked at all. He saw Qiyana lying on the ground motionless with no hair on her body, her eyes tight.
Closed, breathing rapidly.
After helping Qiyana up, Lester did not use the healing power of the life rune. Instead, he helped Qiyana clean her body very patiently, and skillfully put the girl on the bed. He tried his best to help Qiyana.
Show the gentleness and thoughtfulness unique to a gentleman.
Using only the simplest massage techniques, Lester helped Qiyana regain consciousness. During the process, Qiyana remained silent, but her red face revealed the fact that the girl was not at peace inside.
After eating something, Qiyana felt that her body felt better, and she was no longer in the dizzy state when she walked.
"You knew I would faint, right?"
Lester shrugged.
"I kindly reminded you, but I can't control whether you listen or not."
Unable to refute, Qiyana seemed to intend to vent her emotions on food, but Lester spoke up.
"Eating too much after an empty stomach will bloat your stomach."
After a pause, Qiyana reluctantly put down the whole-wheat bread in her hand, swallowed a few mouthfuls of food, and stared at the smiling man without blinking.
"Tell me, what's the purpose of you coming to me? I don't think you came to me just to put this on me."
As she spoke, Qiyana pointed to her silver necklace. Although she didn't want to admit it, this silver necklace was indeed pretty.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Actually, it's nothing, but I've been a little tired lately, and I'm going to have some fun and relax, and there happened to be a lucky guy who came to my door, so I thought I'd take a look.
What kind of person is the tenth princess of Ixtar?"
Lester casually peeled an orange and put it in his mouth. I have to say that Ixtal is quite outstanding as a major fruit-producing country.
"Then do you know what kind of person I am now?"
"An ambitious princess who wants to become the queen of Ixtar. Unfortunately, for now, this is impossible to happen."
"Why can't it happen? Are you underestimating my determination?"
Very dissatisfied with Lester's assertion, Qiyana frowned, but Lester found it a little funny.
Ixtal is about to die, and the little girl is still thinking about fighting for power with her sister and mother. What's even more ridiculous is that even Queen Flora doesn't realize the seriousness of the matter. He thinks Ixtal
His request for help was a desperate move to surrender to the empire. It wasn't until he came here that he realized that this request for help was just a test without any depth.
The irony is that even if they know that this request for help does not represent any attitude of Ixtal, the Noxus Empire cannot ignore it. Of course, Noxus can't take advantage of someone else's butt.
The empire would definitely not do it, and it would make sense to use the entire country to serve as interest.
"From the moment Queen Flora asked for help from the empire, Ixtar's rule has ended. Yuen'ale has proven that she is incapable of protecting the country. It would be better to hand it over to the Noxus Empire to rule.
Don’t be jealous of your second sister, she is just a puppet symbolizing the royal family of Yuen Alai. When this war is over, Isuoken will be the real governor of the empire."
After hearing such a shocking truth, Qiyana's eyes widened. She never expected that the man in front of her was trying to seize power.
"You can't do this! The people of Ixtar will not agree with the imperial governor! Stop wishful thinking!"
Lester smiled lightly.
"Are you saying that the people of Ixtal will not agree with an imperial governor who was born in Ixtal? In such a large city-state, it is really impossible to find an ambitious person who wants to replace Yuen Ale
?I don’t believe that you, Yuen Ale, are so loved by others.”
Qiyana stared at Lester with hostility and said nothing.
"Don't look at me like that. Think about it from another angle. This may not be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you."
"Stop fooling me. I'm not a fool. Since you want to conquer Ixtal, I won't stand on your side. You should give up on this idea."
Lester's expression was always calm and he didn't care about Qiyana's hostility at all, because he knew what Qiyana wanted.
"The Imperial Governor is not the Queen, but he has equal power to the Queen.
Qiyana, think about it carefully. If you follow the tradition of Ixtar, can you defeat your nine sisters and become the legitimate new queen?
Inessa had her legs cut off by you and became a disabled person. Even so, your sister was also the first in line to succeed. When you were locked up in the Tower of Elements alone, your sister was enjoying Ixta.
With the support of your people and the flattery of Elder Yuntar, she only needs to eat and sleep to get what you can't ask for."
"So what? As long as the people know how good I am, sooner or later, more and more people will support me. I never think that Inessa is my opponent, let alone others."
"Sooner or later? Do you have time? How long will it take you to do this? After you are recognized, how long will it take you to control this country?"
"What's so hard about this?"
Lester sneered.
"Let me ask you, do you know what the population of Isookan is now?"
I thought Lester was going to ask some question, but when she heard it was about population, Qiyana said loudly.
"I know that Isuoken has a population of more than eight million, and the household registration statistics were just completed last Yuen Day..."
"Wrong. There are 12 million people living in Ixoken now. The population of the entire Ixtal Kingdom is about 25 million. Now 10 million people have died. You can't see it.
In the northern part of the kingdom, right now, the people of Ixtal are being slaughtered by monsters from the underworld. Those unkillable monsters are getting closer and closer to Ixoken.
Tell me, Qiyana, what can you do? What meaningful things can you do with your magical talent that you are proud of?"
Qiyana's eyes were full of confusion, but her face became paler and whiter.
Dare to say such words, either the man in front of her is crazy or she is crazy, but she knows very well that no one is crazy, and there is no need for a big shot who can forcibly seize the elemental weaver from the hands of the Vidalian Guardian.
He deceived her.
If this is the truth, it would be too disappointing.
Seeing through Qiyana's weakness, Lester said in a deep voice.
"Whether you believe it or not, this is the fact. The Noxus Empire is saving your country now. If it fails, your country will perish. There is no need to consider who will rule it. If it can successfully defend you
As a country, the Noxus Empire will also pay a heavy price. Do you think that under such circumstances, you, Yuen Ale, can continue to rule Ixtal with peace of mind?"
"I, I don't understand...why this happened..."
"No matter what you think, it's no longer helpful.
Take advantage of this few quiet moments to think about what you can do for the empire.
As long as you can do well, the Empire can give you what Queen Flora cannot give you. The Empire has always been for those who are capable, and those who are shrouded in corpses will never get ahead. Those who are truly capable will never reject the Empire."
Watching Lester leave, Qiyana stroked the silver collar around her neck. She seemed to know what the thing on her neck meant.
…
On the eastern coast of the Shurima continent, there is a commercial port controlled by the Noxus Empire to the east of the Kingdom of Ixtal. Under the influence of Ixtal, the port is called [Harelport] by the locals, which means '
The end of the continent'.
Port Harel is a typical commercial port city controlled by the Noxus Empire. The port is located between the eastern route of the continent of Valoran and the continent of Shurima, and connects to the Kingdom of Ixtal located deep in the jungle.
The geographical location is extremely special,
Along the coastline to the south is the Amaranxin Coast, the Holy Land of the Sentinels of Light, which is controlled by the Noxus Empire. To the north is the Anaconda Cape, which is only half a month's sail from Bilgewater Bay.
As the only seaport after Ixtar opened its borders to the empire, Port Harel played an extremely important role in maritime transportation. And because it is located on the westward boundary of the Soul-Eating Black Mist of Shadow Island, Harel Port is a military fortress.
There is a Holy Light Legion of three thousand people stationed in it, ready to deal with the monsters in the soul-eating black mist and rush to help everywhere.
On this day, the dock of Harel Port was blocked by the imperial ship. As the Hextech Flying Gate lit up with a dazzling magical blue light, two heavy airships appeared from the Hextech Flying Gate, bringing the world to the world.
