LOL: I am a bad prince in Demacia

The next day.

July fourteenth.

In the imperial mausoleum located on the mountain behind the palace, slightly sad music was played from the strings, making the atmosphere at the scene a bit gloomy.

This is a farewell song.

At this time, all the powerful people in the royal capital came to the scene and stood neatly in several rows with solemn expressions.

As the music continued to play, Lucci and Jarvan IV gradually appeared. They stood on both sides, carrying a silver-white coffin on their shoulders, and walked slowly.

In the back, there were six pallbearers.

All eyes fell on the coffin, expressing their silence.

In order to allow Mellie to sleep peacefully, Jarvan III specially reinforced the top-grade coffin with a layer of ordinary quality.

Same as other members of the Imperial Tomb.

In this imperial mausoleum, a total of fifty-three members of the royal family are buried, including seven generations of kings.

The royal family used to be prosperous.

What is regrettable is that Jarvan II died in the war, and his wife followed him away a few days after the transition, leaving only Jarvan III alone.

And he seemed to have a fateful fate, as his two wives passed away one after another.

Up to now, only three people, father and son, are left in the entire royal family.

As the coffin was buried in the soil, the people in the coffin also entered a long sleep with the earth, which also announced that the funeral had come to an end.

There is only one thing in the capital today.

Everywhere you go on the streets, the topic that people talk about is inseparable from one name, and that is Mellie.

Mellie was named queen by the king, and the decree was posted on wall posters everywhere. At the same time, with the publicity in the newspapers, the people of the entire royal capital learned about it in one morning.

Secondly, Jarvan III named this day Merli Sabbath.

There is no doubt that this time Jarvan III exercised his prerogative as king.

Naming a special day for a special person is also rare in the history of Demacia.

Except for a few kings with outstanding merits or people who have made great contributions to the country, it is basically impossible for the rest of the people to have this qualification.

The famous inventor and craftsman, Durang's anniversary is on December 7, the day he was assassinated.

Jarvan III was the only king who had a memorial day during his lifetime.

His main achievements, in addition to commanding the army to win a great victory that year, are also his management of the country in recent years, which has won the hearts of the people.

Many people designated the day of his triumphant return as a memorial day, and over time this day really became a festival in his name.

But this time, Jarvan III used the king's prerogative to designate this day as Melli Day.

Many people can see that this is to make up for the shortcomings of the past nineteen years.

However, people cannot be resurrected after death, and past debts can never be made up. The ministers also had no objection to his decision.

There are also many voices of support among the people.

After the funeral, people returned to the palace.

On the way, Roy thought for a moment and finally said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not."

He seemed hesitant to say this at this time.

At this moment, Jarvan III's mentality was much more stable. He looked over and said with a smile, "Go ahead."

Roy organized his speech very early and immediately said after hearing the words: "Now that the royal family is sparse and flat at home and abroad, the top priority should be to continue the royal bloodline. I feel that it is time to decide on the eldest prince. The marriage is about to happen.”

Upon hearing this, Jarvan IV's expression suddenly froze, he scratched his head and said awkwardly: "I'm only twenty-three years old, so I shouldn't be in such a hurry."

Roy looked at Jarvan IV with a serious face, like a strict teacher: "Many nobles have made engagements when their children are eighteen years old, but now, Your Highness, you don't even have one you like."

The marriage contracts of the heirs of nobles are usually made by the elders in the family, and the same is true for the objects of the marriage contracts. Many young nobles are engaged in marriage contracts as soon as they turn eighteen.

Become the link between nobles and nobles.

There are not no examples of free love, but they are few.

At that time, Navis's mother was a young lady from the Menke family, but she secretly married an ordinary craftsman without telling the family.

As a result, she was kicked out of the house, and her husband passed away not long after. As a young lady of a top noble, this woman could no longer enjoy any preferential treatment from the nobles.

If her mother hadn't taken her back out of pity, her life would have basically come to an end.

This pattern has existed in Demacia for many years. For many noble heirs, once a marriage contract is made, it is like being shackled and unable to fly.

However, as Jarvan IV is the prince of a country, he is naturally not restricted by such rules.

And his appearance and actual strength are not bad. The nobles who have come to propose marriage in recent years have broken the threshold. He can choose the one he likes among them at will.

As long as he makes a sound, he can get married to the noble lady the next day.

However, until today, Jarvan IV has no one he likes, and it seems that his mind is not focused on this at all.

There seems to be other reasons.

At this time, facing Luo Yi who was staring at him, Jarvan IV's aura weakened a bit, and he said with a smile: "I haven't discovered the fate of my eyes yet, it's not too late to wait."

However, Roy did not give in and pressed forward step by step: "How long will it take to wait? His Highness also told the old minister this last year. Do we have to wait until the day when the old minister is buried?"

He grew up watching Jarvan III and IV, father and son. In terms of seniority, he was the highest in the room and was highly respected. Even Jarvan III sometimes had to give way.

As soon as he said this, Jarvan IV hurriedly said: "Your body and bones are so strong, it is not a problem to live another hundred years."

Roy said with a serious smile: "I know my health well, and I can never push back on His Highness's marriage."

The bitterness and gloom in Jarvan IV's eyes flashed away, but he still smiled sarcastically: "Don't worry, give me some more time."

A drama of urging marriage was staged in front of so many people.

Lu Qi watched happily from the side, with an expression as if he was eating something.

However, when his eyes were on Jarvan IV's face, he was keenly aware of the subtle changes in his expression, and felt that there was something unspeakable in it.

There seems to be a story?

Lu Qi continued to eat the melon while thinking.

At this time, Jarvan IV glanced at Lu Qi and immediately pointed the finger at him: "When it comes to continuing the incense, my second brother should also have a share of the responsibility. You can't just stare at me."

Seeing him trying to draw the fire to himself, Lu Qi also raised his eyebrows.

What do you mean?

Roy also glanced at Lu Qi at this time, and then looked back at Jarvan IV: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince has just turned eighteen."

"What's wrong with being eighteen? Many children of nobles who are older than him can already walk."

Jarvan IV immediately discarded the logic of marriage at the age of eighteen.

This logic seemed to convince Roy. He thought carefully for a second and looked at Lu Qi: "That's right. His Highness the Second Prince must not imitate His Highness the Fourth. He has also reached the age of marriage. Do you have a crush? If so, Let’s make a marriage decision within this year.”

After the words fell, the four girls Lux, Kashina, Sona, and Fiona who followed behind were slightly startled.

His eyes fell on Lu Qi involuntarily, wanting to see what he said.

The one you like?

Have it?

Many eyes also fell on Lu Qi.

Many nobles looked at Lu Qi, and their eyes lit up, showing signs of excitement.

They almost forgot that Lu Qi was also a prince.

His royal status alone was extremely alluring.

If a noble could intermarry with a member of the royal family, the status of the entire family would be elevated and they would become a member of the royal family.

Noticing that many people were looking at him with eager glances, Lu Qi also gritted his teeth and glanced at Jarvan IV, who was relieved.

Brother, since you are unkind, don’t blame me for being unjust!

He immediately said: "I should take my eldest brother as an example. If my eldest brother can get married within this year, I will also be willing to get married."

This time the fire was pushed back by him.

Hearing this, Luo Yi also looked directly at Jarvan IV: "Your Highness, did you hear that? As the eldest brother, you should set an example."

"This, this, this"

Jarvan IV's head suddenly got big. He didn't expect Lu Qi to do this. He really didn't want to get married.

At this time, a nobleman also stood up and said, "Minister Roy is right. His Highness should find a good match this year."

The person speaking at this time was named Crog Ireland.

He is the mother of Jarvan IV, the brother of Catherine, and the uncle of Jarvan IV.

He also occupies a high position and is honored as a general of a country.

Seeing that one more person came forward to urge the marriage, Jarvan IV didn't know how to deal with it.

Lu Qi also continued to regain his melon-eating attitude.

He naturally knew that Jarvan IV would not be able to get married within this year, so he dared to say that.

As for him, of course he didn't want to make a marriage contract so early.

As a prince, if he has a favorite target, he only needs to say a word and they will be engaged.

It's just that this will ignore the other person's feelings. Lu Qi doesn't like this feudal model very much.

He still values ​​​​your love and my will.

After listening to Lu Qi's words, the three women behind seemed to have entered some kind of thinking mode, and all of them had thoughtful expressions.

Lux, who had gotten up early in the morning and didn't get enough sleep, yawned a little, her face looked sleepy, and she seemed to be in a daze.

Tiana took in all these reactions, and when her eyes swept over her little girl's dazed face, she sighed helplessly in her heart.

Finally, his eyes fell on Lu Qi again.

In her opinion, this brat is much more ambitious than his elder brother, but if he is a little too ambitious, it doesn't feel like a good thing.

But after all, this is a matter for young people, and Tiana is not prepared to interfere.

At this time, Jiawen III also smiled lightly and said: "Let them handle the affairs of young people by themselves. This is not what they are thinking about. Even getting married is not necessarily a good thing."

As he spoke, he also announced the end of this forced marriage.

Roy stopped trying to persuade him, but with his character, he would bring it up again before long.

Kroger also calmed down and returned to the team.

Jarvan IV breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, let's all disperse."

By this time everyone had arrived at the palace.

Following Jiawen III's words, all the nobles also left the palace one after another.

Lu Qi said goodbye to Jarvan III and was about to leave. He originally wanted to catch up with Jarvan IV and ask questions.

By observing his expression just now, Lu Qi always felt that this elder brother might have a story that he didn't know.

And Lu Qi is very interested in these gossips.

When he went to chase him, he found that Jarvan IV had escaped very quickly.

As soon as he sighed, he turned the corner and met Galen walking towards him. His eyes lit up and he walked over, waving hello.

"Brother Lung."

When Galen saw Lu Qi walking towards him with a bright smile on his face, he had a bad feeling in his heart and wanted to ignore him and speed up his pace.

As a result, Lu Qi chased him directly and put his hand on his shoulder enthusiastically: "Why are you walking so fast?"

Sighing in his heart, Galen's expression remained unchanged: "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

"It's not a big deal." Lu Qi smiled and asked, "I'm just a little curious about my eldest brother. His conditions are not bad. There are so many outstanding girls from the nobles in the capital, why is he unwilling to get married?"

Galen was relieved to see that it was not about him.

You're talking about Jarvan IV, that's okay.

He thought for a moment and said, "There are indeed some reasons for this."

Lu Qi asked curiously: "Can you elaborate?"

He was truly curious, and the soul of gossip was burning in his heart.

Seeing that Galen was thinking about it, Lu Qi thought for a while and added: "If you can't say it, forget it, don't be embarrassed. Speaking of which, I'm going to do a second interview for you recently. What date do you think is suitable?"

Seeing the harmless smile on his face when he spoke, Galen's lips twitched.

"It's not something that can't be said, but I think it's better for you to ask the fourth generation in person."

Galen sighed and continued, "But asking him would only make him sad, so let me tell you."

This incident was not included in the dark history of Jarvan IV, so Galen did not tell Lucci that day.

At this moment, the two of them were walking on the road. Under Lu Qi's curious eyes, Galen slowly spoke.

"Actually, it's not that the fourth generation doesn't have someone he likes. When he was the same age as you, Your Highness, he already had someone he liked."

After hearing Galen's words, Lu Qi was looking forward to it again and again.

This is indeed something he doesn't know.

"That year, he and I were training in the army and went to the border. It was also there that he met a woman named Ariel. She lived in a local town and made a living by keeping bees."

Galen said slowly.

Lu Qi asked curiously: "Ariel, what kind of girl are you?"

Galen recalled the memory with his eyes, thought for a while and said: "She is a very gentle woman. They first met because the fourth generation wanted to steal honey to drink. As a result, the entire hive was chased, and finally Ding was killed. Head full of bags.”

"When we went to the town to ask for medicine, we met Ariel. She kept bees at home, so she always had medicine for treatment, so she invited the fourth generation to her home and carefully treated his swelling."

"In the period that followed, the fourth generation often went to see Ariel, and the relationship between the two quickly heated up."

He still remembers what happened back then quite clearly.

Lu Qi thought about it.

It seems like they are in love, so why didn't it work out?

So he guessed: "Were they forcibly separated in the end because of the incompatibility of their family backgrounds?"

Galen shook his head: "He is a prince. As long as there are no problems with the woman he chooses, it is not difficult to get married."

Indeed, the royal family already has a top-notch family background. It doesn't matter whether the woman's family background is good or not. The royal family must pay more attention to quality when choosing a wife.

At this time, a possibility flashed in Lu Qi's mind, which was later confirmed by Galen.

Galen said solemnly: "In the end, the two of them failed. There is only one reason. Because Ariel is a demon-contaminated person."

When Lu Qi heard this, his eyes flashed. Sure enough, this was the only possibility.

There is also another name for those who are possessed by demons, called mage.

"I still remember his expression of disbelief that day when he found out that Ariel was a demon-stained person, but he quickly became firm in his choice."

"And Ariel didn't know that she was infected with the devil. Her sudden awakening caused the magic to explode. She was very scared at the time."

"The fourth generation tried his best to comfort her and promised to protect her."

At this point, Galen paused.

Lu Qi couldn't help but continue to ask: "What happened next?"

Galen took a breath and continued: "Later, the affair between the two of them was discovered. Ariel's family took her to escape Demacia, and there has been no news since then."

After listening to this, Lu Qi finally understood the reason why Jarvan IV was not ready to get married yet.

Thinking about it, I still miss Ariel.

However, in his opinion, it was right for Ariel to run away, otherwise there would most likely be an example of the same person as his mother.

When Jarvan III was the king, he encountered great obstacles when he wanted to marry a foreign woman. In the end, Mellie left the royal capital and died in depression.

An ordinary woman is like this, not to mention that Jarvan IV, as a prince, wants to marry a mage.

This is absolutely not allowed.

At this time, the two of them walked outside the palace. Galen looked at Lu Qi and said, "Your Highness, I'll take my leave now."

"goodbye."

Lu Qi raised his hand and waved, saying goodbye.

Galen then turned and left.

Lu Qi found his carriage and boarded it.

As soon as he opened the curtain of the carriage, he saw four gorgeously dressed women sitting inside, and those four pairs of beautiful eyes focused on Lu Qi for an instant.

Lux looked at him and asked, "Why are you so slow?"

After Lu Qi sat down, he casually replied: "I was chatting with your brother for a while."

Lux said "Oh" and said no more.

There were clearly five people in the carriage, but it was extremely quiet at the moment. No one spoke. Lu Qi looked at the faces of the women and found that they all seemed to be thinking about something.

As the carriage drove on, the women looked worried on their way home.

Women's thoughts are the most difficult to guess. Who knows what they are thinking.

It didn't matter if he didn't speak, Lu Qi was happy to be quiet, so he leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.

He hadn't had enough sleep in the past two days, so he decided to take this opportunity to catch up on some sleep.

Lux also noticed that the atmosphere was a little different today, but she thought it might be because of Queen Mellie's incident.

As the carriage drove forward, she felt sleepy, and she opened her mouth and yawned sleepily.

Then he also leaned back, closed his eyes and took a nap.

In a carriage, two people fell asleep carelessly, while the other three had their own concerns.

Let’s make an update today and think about the follow-up plot-
