After staying up all night for several days to handle important government affairs, the nobles of Coldwind City finally celebrated their victory.
People need cheerful festivals to dilute the grief of their loved ones killed in war, and nobles also need banquets to determine interests and cut cakes. Of course, they themselves also enjoy such programs.
Chai Anping's feats have spread rapidly to the south with the deliberate publicity of the Macmillan family. The nobles in the south even asked someone to bring a few northern newspapers back. You can imagine what kind of spectacular things will happen when he returns to the capital.
scene.
This is one of Walsh's "repayments."
Damn it!
If he hadn't been an elder, Chai Anping would have pointed his nose and cursed. Is there anyone who would repay him like this?
He said that he was young and needed fame, so he would do his best to help him build momentum...
He was afraid that he would not be able to move around in the capital in the future!
"You are the well-deserved protagonist of the banquet tonight."
Walsh had no self-awareness and said beside him: "The first thing to do is to deal with the dragon corpse. The dragon head must be presented to His Majesty, and some of the other parts should also be taken out... But you are an alchemist yourself,
There is also William's alchemy workshop behind you, but you don't need to separate too much, you can just take care of it yourself.
The nobles in the north are eager to have a good relationship with you, so you should cherish this opportunity to expand your network. There are many hard-working people in the north, and it is beneficial to associate with them."
"I see."
Chai Anping nodded, the Grand Duke really loved him and he couldn't get angry, so he had to accept his elder's feelings.
Harmful--
Thinking on the bright side, at least you can bluff Lux and make her think that she is very popular, so she will relax some restrictions in some aspects.
"Ahem."
Walsh suddenly coughed twice at the wall: "Are you really not interested in aristocratic marriage?"
"Grand Duke, please don't mention this matter again!"
Chai Anping said speechlessly: "You look quite like Sir William. He also likes to play matchmaker for me!"
When Walsh heard this, he smacked his lips and felt very regretful.
"..."
Chai Anping just pretended not to see anything.
In the evening, the banquet officially started in Castle Michaelus. The cold wind was howling outside, but it was as warm as spring in the hall.
Chai Anping was familiar with such occasions, but the slight difference was that this was the first time that Lux officially appeared as his partner at a gathering of nobles.
Wearing a pure white dress, the girl stood tall and graceful in the crowd. When she was held in his arms, she looked bright again and smiled as brightly as a flower.
"You are so beautiful, Lux."
The girl was slightly embarrassed, but she secretly hugged his arm tightly.
This may be the most adorable thing about her inadvertently.
Chai Anping felt at peace and led her across the red carpet and into the noisy hall.
…
The aristocratic customs in Hanfeng City are slightly different from those in the capital, appearing more rough and direct, but Chai Anping is already a veteran of all kinds and can handle it with ease.
His brother-in-law, Pioneer Captain Galen, was also at the banquet.
To a certain extent, this "famous flower" who has no owner is more popular than Chai Anping. At this time, she was surrounded by a group of warblers and swallows on three floors inside and three floors outside.
Lux hugged Chai Anping and had no intention of going up to help her brother out. Instead, she looked at it with a bit of relish.
"My brother has never planned to start a family since he joined the army. I have to help him."
Chai Anping silently lit a candle for his brother-in-law, not knowing whether the legend that Galen and Caterina had a romantic relationship on the battlefield was true.
Is this good for CP?
Or Garen x Jarvan IV?
hiss--
As for his entertainment, it was much simpler. Did Walsh give him some reference before the banquet started? He just had to change it a little. Anyway, the nobles in the North had no contact with him. It didn't matter how close they were.
It was only when he was chatting with others at night that he found out that the body of the giant dragon was dragged back by the Fearless Pioneer. He secretly thanked his brother-in-law in his heart. He could see it clearly from a high altitude at that time? The Fearless Pioneer Battalion Company
No chance to join the war? The Freljordians simply surrendered.
That taste, tut.
After all, it was impossible for Galen to force his troops to rush under a huge ice floe for the sake of military glory.
However, Galen didn't complain when he saw him these days. Instead, he expressed appreciation for his strength and considered him to be the future pillar of Demacia.
Compared to the game? This Galen is much more likable.
Reasonable and gentle.
So Chai Anping gave up the idea of setting up a CP for his brother-in-law, and turned around and took Lux off the balcony to get some fresh air.
Because Lux was wearing thin clothes, he released a little bit of the flames of anger to ensure the surrounding temperature.
They wiped the snow off the bench and sat down leaning against each other.
"Are you enjoying your trip north, Your Highness?"
"happy!"
Lux said seriously: "This journey is much more interesting and further than I imagined before."
"Haha, when I was in Piltover, I saw some scenery and thought it would be great if you could be by my side. I always wanted to let you see such unique scenery.
Or it would be more appropriate to say, I want to see the same scenery as you."
Lux pinched the corner of her skirt and was racking her brains to think of some love words that would be more appropriate for the current scene.
After thinking hard to no avail, I could only respond with a naive "Oh".
Chai Anping was used to her occasional coquettishness, and he laughed and continued: "Looking at the time now, it's almost the Chinese New Year, and the matter in Hanfeng City has been settled. We should be preparing to return, but..."
"But what?"
He smiled apologetically: "I was thinking about going to the snowfield. When we sent the four members of the family to Avarosa, we didn't expect that they would become part of the dispute. Although the situation is still unclear, I often go in and out of Avarosa.
Grand Duke Ershi's study has confirmed that this news is not groundless."
"ah……"
"Whether it's for Rodney or ourselves, I have to get rid of the problem. Moreover, there are many parties on the ice sheet, and I'm afraid something big is going to happen. I'll go investigate and let Demacia prepare in advance.
"
Lux already understood what Chai Anping meant.
——He wants to go back first.
She gently held Chai Anping's warm hand and whispered: "I followed my family to Xiongdu when I was very young. After that, I spent every New Year at the house. It still felt fresh at that time. Many crown guards
My relatives would gather together, but when I grew up, I realized that my relatives were divided into distant and near relatives, and the relationship became much indifferent.
This year, my brother is guarding the north and cannot return home. The aunt in my memory has also become a stranger because of that incident, and she has lost a lot of kindness..."
Her voice was soft and weak, but she held Chai Anping's hand harder and harder:
