Shyvana felt...very uncomfortable with Jarvan IV's enthusiasm.
Although in the eyes of Jarvan IV, the main reason for this situation is that he has just broken off an engagement. It seems that Miss Shyvana has some misunderstandings about herself, but in fact, Shyvana's discomfort mainly comes from
She was not human in the first place.
As an elemental dragon with a long lifespan, Shyvana has overcome her wildness very well under Kalya's teachings and has a considerable degree of logical thinking ability, but don't forget that she is Beelax's age.
Much smaller - in other words, Shyvana is still a baby dragon.
The bloodthirsty elemental dragon maintains the characteristics of a beast in many aspects, such as the estrus period after adulthood.
And Shyvana... conservatively estimated to be five or six years away from entering estrus.
Even though Shyvana is no different from a human girl in many aspects, when it comes to the concept of love, she only has gender consciousness, and nothing more.
In LeBlanc's eyes, Jarvan IV is a complete idiot, and that's because he hasn't met the right person.
But Shyvana... I'm sorry, she's really stuck right now.
Unfortunately, Jarvan IV knew nothing about this - seeing that the turmoil in the north was gradually subsided and the Shurima trade was about to begin, he was planning to take advantage of this opportunity to deal with his personal issues!
……………………
After finishing breakfast, Jarvan IV stood in front of the mirror, feeling rarely worried about his own attire.
In the past, he had never thought about these issues. In his opinion, the various combinations prepared by the etiquette teachers in the palace were already perfect.
But now, after trying three outfits, he still feels unsatisfied.
"Are there any more fashionable combinations?" Jarvan IV took off the regular wear crown with gems on his head, "Trendy, that's what the word means, right? Trendy, and it should be more everyday, not too gorgeous, and I
I don’t plan to go to the Noble Council, I’m just going out for a walk.”
Behind Jarvan IV, his court etiquette teacher showed quite complicated emotions on his face.
As the etiquette teacher of the Lightshield family, he has grown up watching Jarvan IV. In his impression, His Majesty the King has never cared about his appearance as much as he does today.
According to the aesthetics of Demacia and even the mainstream aesthetics of Runeterra, Jarvan IV is a handsome man. He is tall, has strong facial lines, and has piercing eyes that seem to shine like stars.
Coupled with the nobility of being a king and the self-confidence of returning from the peak, the whole person looks even more majestic and extremely charming.
For a perfect score of 100, Jarvan IV's personal charm value should be 90 no matter how you look at it.
However, in the past half month, he has failed in front of Miss Shivana more than once - if His Majesty Jarvan IV was not a summit climber, I am afraid someone would have begun to doubt that Shivana
Miss Na is some kind of evil wizard.
"Vazuan's style is very... frivolous." The etiquette teacher who was forced to spend time studying Vazuan's aesthetics could only answer bravely, "If it were more lively, even if it was just daily informal activities, it would be
Some of them don’t fit your identity.”
When Jarvan IV heard this, he blinked in confusion.
"Vazuan people like tattoos and body modification." The prepared etiquette teacher took the initiative to take out a picture album, "This is a Wazuan aesthetic book I bought, which records some of Wazuan's
The trend has been translated by someone."
Jarvan IV accepted the book.
In fact, this is a magazine - published by Piltover Daily Press, and its name is "The Trend". However, there is no such thing as a magazine in Demacia, so according to the understanding of Demacians, this should be regarded as a magazine.
Aesthetic classics.
Opening the magazine, Jarvan IV's eyes quickly fell on the photos taken by the Hex camera.
As the etiquette teacher said, the models above all have various body modifications and large-area tattoos, and a few of the more formal-looking outfits are incompatible with Demacia's style.
Demacia advocates the color blue, advocates arms, and advocates a style that can make people appear stronger. Therefore, among the choices of nobles' regular clothes, light armor made close to the body is never a wrong choice.
But these are obviously not feasible in Vazuan.
Vazuan has two urban districts.
Piltover maintains a free and individual style. In the past, their fashion was influenced by Noxus, but now it has been almost completely eliminated. Therefore, in the "Trend" magazine, the styles of the models are already vague.
It's a bit cyberpunk.
Zaun District, on the other hand, highly advocates collectiveness, pragmatism, and red and gray because of Lux. After blending alchemy and rune magic, the artistic style interestingly moves toward transistor punk.
Whether it is cyberpunk style or transistor punk style, it is absolutely impossible for Demacia, which advocates conservatism, to accept it.
With the current prestige and status of Jarvan IV, everyone can still accept a queen from a foreign country, but if His Majesty the King goes in a strange direction because of this, then I am afraid that the noble gentlemen will not be able to help but get angry again.
.
Looking at these photos and reading the translated text next to them, Jarvan IV had no choice but to choose a set of more close-fitting regular clothes, then reluctantly gave up wearing a mask, and honestly put on a more low-key one.
crown.
"Let's go." Looking at himself in the mirror who was obviously much more lively, Jarvan IV finally nodded with satisfaction, "Let's go to the Lightbringer Temple today."
……………………
Walking inside the Temple of Lightbringer, Shyvana felt a little bored.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After all, the two people commemorated by this temple are still "guests" in Forsbarrow, and Shyvana herself is actually very fond of these buildings.
She is not very interested - compared to the Lightbringer Temple, she is actually more interested in the dragon bird perches in Demacia, because those high-rise buildings where dragon birds live can serve as a reference for her own dragon nest.
Unfortunately, due to her personal label of "loving architecture", she had to get up early on the rare opening day of this temple and follow the crowd to visit this large building that she was not interested in at all.
Moreover, he had to put on a very interested look on his face, and he even had to pretend to write and draw in the notebook he carried with him.
Fortunately, news came from Fosbarrow yesterday. If everything goes well, he shouldn't be able to stay in Xiongdu for too long - the mission from the north will arrive in Xiongdu soon, and he will almost transfer.
Completed the landmark buildings of the capital except Dawn Castle.
As an architecture lover, after walking through these places, I already have a reason to leave.
Although I'm afraid I'll have to take a boat out to sea and go for a walk in the future, but that's better than wandering around the capital all day long.
It was almost three months since she had been flying in the sky and enjoying the roaring wind. Even though Shyvana had completely suppressed her animal nature, she was still eager to have fun.
Wait, wait!
Then, just when Shyvana was secretly thinking about when she would be able to move freely and leave the capital, she met His Majesty the King of Demacia again.
Although Jarvan IV set out lightly and did not have a huge crowd, Shyvana still felt a headache when she saw him.
His Majesty the King was another reason why she felt uncomfortable during her time in Xiongdu.
Shyvana really wants to know why Jarvan IV, as the majestic king of a country, is always staring at her!
Did he reveal any flaws?
It shouldn’t be!
It's a pity that no matter how helpless Shyvana is, when she meets Jarvan IV, she still has to maintain etiquette and answer the other person's temptations perfectly - thanks to Shyvana, she did once live in Piltover.
After many years, otherwise she might not be able to cope with Jarvan IV's problems.
Sure enough, after seeing him, Jarvan IV "accidentally" walked over again and took the initiative to greet him.
Unlike the past few times, this time the topic of Jarvan IV fell on the trend of Piltover.
"Is this the latest trend in Piltover?" Facing this topic, Shyvana's alarm bells rang in her heart. "In total, it has been some time since I left Vazuan. I remember that when I left, there was a magazine article
Still promoting new tattoo pigments."
"Yes, tattoos are really popular in Piltover." Jarvan IV nodded, "I wonder what Miss Shyvana thinks about tattoos?"
"The large-scale body modification of Hex basically means goodbye to tattoos." Shyvana thought for a moment and gave a safe answer, "So I haven't paid attention to it...but it is about the dyes for tattoos.
I’ve heard of some occasionally.”
"Dye?" Jarvan IV, who only learned and sold Piltover's trends, decisively changed the topic, "You just talked about new tattoo dyes - I heard that trade in the North has been booming in recent years. Is it true?
Mrs. Piltover used blue ocher in her tattoos?”
Why are you suddenly talking about the North?
Is this a test of his relationship with Forsbarrow?
Shyvana's heart was ringing with alarm, but her reaction was very quick.
"Blue ocher... I heard that the large blue statues in Demacia were dyed with it, right?" Shyvana continued to maintain her persona as if she didn't understand the North at all, "It can also be used for
Tattoo? I really don’t know about this.”
"Ah, it turns out it's not blue ocher." Jarvan IV seemed a little disappointed, "I thought blue could also set off a trend in Vazuan."
"It's not blue ocher." Shyvana shook her head slightly, "It's some dyes from Ionia - they are all plant-based. It seems that these dyes will not cause harm to the body."
Well, this is true, but it mainly comes from Ino’s knowledge. Shyvana will take it and use it now.
"Miss Shyvana has been to Ionia?"
"The architecture of Ionia also has its own very unique style." Shyvana seemed to be recalling her own experience, but in fact she was recalling Ino's travel notes, "That is a completely different style from Valoran.
Advocate more for nature..."
"Advocating nature?" Jarvan IV seemed very interested, "Can you tell us more specifically?"
"It is to transform the trees into the desired shape through magic." Shyvana spread her hands, "This may not be very in line with the customs of Demacia, but IMHO, it does have its own uniqueness."
"..."
Jarvan IV never expected that the other party would be so good at chatting with her. He just chatted with her about trends and architecture, and it would be directly related to magic, making him completely unable to agree with her compliments.
"It sounds really special." After a moment of pause, Jarvan IV could only respond dryly, and then changed the subject abruptly, "Miss Shyvana is really well-informed. This time I come here
Having been in the capital for such a long time, most of the buildings should have been visited, right?"
"Of course." Shyvana nodded, and then listed her visit itinerary one by one, "The Hall of Valor, the Temple of Lightbringer, the Grand Square, the Grand Market, the Ancient City Wall, the Duel Hall... As far as architecture is concerned, this is
A great city, these tall buildings seem to tell me the history."
"I'm glad that Miss Shyvana likes the architectural style of Demacia." Jarvan IV finally showed a smile on his face, "I grew up in this city, and I have become accustomed to them. I really can't do that.
Just like Miss Shyvana, she knows everything about her family."
"Demacia's magnificent buildings with a classical style are the most shocking." Shyvana tried hard to recall what Kalya said about Demacia's art in her spare time. "With the power of a mortal,
Producing a great building that is almost miraculous is completely consistent with the values of unity in this country..."
As if she was truly an architecture enthusiast, Shyvana began her story nonstop.
Jarvan IV also seemed to be a person who was very curious about architectural styles. He listened patiently to Shyvana's description of the artistic terms that he didn't understand at all. Although he didn't understand what the other person was saying, he would still nod from time to time.
Yes, there is often a somewhat enlightened expression on his face.
In this way, the two of them walked side by side in the Lightbringer Temple for most of the day. It was not until lunch that Jarvan IV finally saw him.
"In Xiongdu, there is actually a unique building that you haven't visited yet!"
"Oh?" Shyvana, who thought she had revealed some flaws, was startled and forced a smile on her face, "That shouldn't be the case. I have already visited all the landmark buildings in my notes..."
"It's Castle of Dawn." Jarvan IV smiled and gave the answer, "Miss Shyvana, would I be honored to invite you to Castle of Dawn and have lunch with me?"
Looking at Jarvan IV with a smile in front of her and a pose that she thought was great, at this moment, Shyvana felt like she had a big headache.
