LOL: I am a bad prince in Demacia

As the banquet began, the atmosphere was always lively.

Soft music played in the main hall.

After about a while, with the busy work of some servants, a circular space was vacated in the middle of the main hall.

Seeing this, Lu Qi asked Fiona next to him: "What are you doing?"

Fiona also looked over there and replied: "Prepare for some entertainment activities for a while."

Lu Qi asked curiously: "What activity?"

"fencing."

Fiona answered briefly.

"fencing?"

Lu Qi probably knew.

At this time, the music suddenly stopped, and the only sound left was the chatter of nobles, young ladies, and young ladies. Soon, this chatter also became quieter.

It was completely quiet at the end, and people's eyes turned to the center.

Zharila walked to the middle of the field with a smile on her face: "Everyone, as in previous years, the fencing duel is about to begin. I wonder who wants to be the first to take the stage."

"I'll go first!"

After the words fell, a brown-haired man walked out with his head held high. He shook his hair, and then reached out to take off his slightly tight luxurious coat.

Then, he put on a pair of fencing armor.

This armor is a pair of silver scales. If you look closely, you can see tight holes one after another on the armor.

Wearing it on the body protects key parts very well without affecting activities.

Zharila said to him at this time: "According to the rules, Master Alger, you can choose an opponent."

Alger looked at Amuda in the crowd without much thought, and issued an invitation to a duel: "Amuda, please come on stage."

Amuda walked out of the crowd.

Fencing dueling is an ancient art in Demacia. The two sides of the duel will decide the winner fairly and justly in the ring.

Most of the time, a Demacian with honor in his heart would not refuse an invitation to a duel.

This kind of duel is also used in many ways to resolve grievances in Demacia.

Often times like this, it's a duel of life and death.

The fencing duel at this banquet was just an ordinary sparring match, a way for young nobles to spend time and have fun.

Soon, Amuda also put on a suit of armor, and both sides held a blunt weapon.

Then, both parties took a step forward, moved their shoulders, and then waved their swords in the air twice.

This signals that preparations are complete and the duel is about to begin.

The onlookers discussed the two sides of the duel lively.

On the ring, the two walked around in circles facing each other, changing their steps and sword-holding postures according to the movements prescribed by the duel ceremony. Finally, there seemed to be a bit of gunpowder in the air.

There are three people standing around. They are referees, used to supervise unfair behavior in the duel and to score the attacks of both sides of the duel.

"Last year I got two points from you, this year I'm going to get them all."

Alger looked at Amuda, his serious eyes filled with fighting spirit and desire for victory.

In contrast, Amuda's eyes were calm and he smiled when he heard this: "Maybe it's not that easy."

"We'll see!"

As Alger finished speaking, he took a quick step and rushed forward.

The sharp blade in his hand stabbed Amuda sharply.

Faced with such an offensive, Amuda dodged to the left and avoided the blow.

At the same time, he also waved the sword in his hand, and Alger immediately retracted the thrusting blade to block it.

The weapons of the two collided twice in mid-air. Amuda found an opportunity and quickly thrust out the sword in his hand, hitting Alger's helmet.

Suddenly, bursts of cheers erupted from the surrounding area, applauding Amuda's precise attack.

"Your sword is still so fast, I lose." Alger stopped what he was doing and withdrew his weapon with a look of helplessness.

In ordinary fencing duels, the factors that determine the outcome are often scores.

The surrounding referees will award points based on the decider's offense.

For example, a stabbing in the legs would be worth one point, an arm would be worth one and a half points, the stomach would be two points, the chest would be three points, the neck would be four points, and the head would be five points.

Getting five points means winning the duel.

"Concession."

Amuda smiled.

Both sides bowed slightly towards each other, Alger walked off the ring, while Amuda still stood there, waiting for the next challenger.

Soon, another person stepped onto the ring and launched a challenge.

The second game was also a victory for Amuda.

Then came the third challenger. With Amuda's beautiful sword, the battle ended directly, and cheers suddenly broke out around him.

"good!"

"Amuda's swordsmanship seems to have become much better."

"No one has gotten a point from him yet."

"I don't think he looks too serious. Wouldn't it be more powerful if he used all his strength?"

As the eldest son of the once famous Laurent family, Amuda has always been somewhat famous in the circle of young nobles.

It is rare to see the swordsmanship of the Laurent family in today's duel arena.

Therefore, he has shown good talent and has been attracting attention since he was a child. He is considered to be the best hope to revive the Laurent family in the future.

Bathed in the applause, Amuda raised a smile, took off his helmet, bowed to the audience, and then left the ring, leaving the venue to others.

Lu Qi watched from the audience and felt that Amuda, as the eldest son of the Laurent family, was indeed quite capable.

Nowadays he is not very interested in this kind of duel.

He had experienced similar duels at the swordsmanship enthusiast training camp, but the rules were more relaxed.

The fencing duel in front of him was just a pastime for the nobles, and Lu Qi had no interest in it.

Amuda, who had won three games in a row, came off the stage and was immediately surrounded by many people. He looked very popular.

Soon, the two stood on the ring again and began a new round of fencing duel.

Fiona kept looking.

Lu Qi could see from her eyes that she was still very interested in this, so he couldn't help but ask aloud: "Why don't you go up and play?"

Fiona looked at the stage and shook her head: "No."

This was not a training camp where she could compete with other swordsmen while wearing a mask.

As the youngest daughter of the Laurent family, she can't do whatever she wants.

Her family had not allowed her to practice swordsmanship since she was a child, imposing many expectations on her that she didn't like.

The reason why Fiona held the sword in the first place was to defy these expectations imposed on her.

The more the family wants her to do something, the more she won't do it.

But Fiona later learned that her resistance and dissatisfaction as a child were not important to those people at all.

They wouldn't let her touch the sword again, so Fiona knew she had to find another way.

She did her best in every aspect of those expectations, studying, dancing, and art. She lived her life how they wanted.

And secretly, she secretly coerced Amuda to teach her swordsmanship, making a silent resistance.

If they don't want her to learn swordsmanship, then she has to practice her swordsmanship to the strongest level.

She knew that if she followed their expectations, her final fate would be the same as that of most noble women.

After foreseeing such a fate, Fiona wanted to change it, and she was unwilling to be reduced to a pawn.

Therefore, she longs to become strong enough to change her destiny.

But now, that's not the time yet.

Lu Qi's eyes continued to fall on the ring, casually watching the fencing duels.

At this time, as Zarella scored five points and won the duel in the ring, there was a burst of heated discussion in the audience.

"This is four consecutive wins."

"Compared to last year, Zharila's swordsmanship seems to have improved a lot."

"Who is more powerful, him or Amuda?"

"I don't know, they don't seem to have dueled in a formal event."

The Byrne family is closely related to the Laurent family, and both families are swordsman families.

However, compared to the Laurent family, which has declined somewhat in recent years.

The Byrne family is still famous, and there are many powerful swordsmen in the family, and Zharila is the best among the younger generation.

In terms of fame, it is similar to Amuda.

At this time, Zharila turned around on the ring, looked in the direction of Lu Qi, and said with a smile: "I wonder if Your Highness is interested in coming on stage to compete?"

When Lu Qi heard this, he said directly: "Not interested."

Zharila's smile did not fade and she continued: "It's just a discussion. If Your Highness doesn't know the rules of fencing duel, I can teach you."

There are many eyes around.

The young nobles present were actually very curious about this prince, especially his strength.

I heard that he was able to calmly handle the siege from a bunch of cultists.

"Come on then."

Lu Qi didn't refuse anymore. After all, this was all he had to say. Wouldn't it be a disappointment to refuse again?

Although it doesn't matter if she refuses again, Zharila may persist in continuing the invitation.

Lu Qi could feel a hostility from him because of Fiona next to him.

In my heart, I naturally knew the reason.

So, he stood up, walked onto the ring, and put on protective gear.

Looking at the two people standing opposite each other on the stage, the people around them started to look forward to the upcoming duel.

Opposite, Zharila held a Demacian saber and said gentlemanly: "If your highness doesn't understand the rules, I can give up three points."

"No need."

Lu Qi casually picked up the rapier in his hand and waved it twice.

Fencing duels are different from ordinary sparring. There are many rules, and points will be deducted for violations.

There were three referees watching closely.

But Lu Qi didn't think he would violate the rules.

"Well."

Zharila said no more and waved the saber twice.

The two of them walked around the ring, changing positions.

Zharila looked at Lu Qi, took a deep breath, and her eyes became serious.

He wanted to see how powerful this prince was.

Why did Fiona, who had always treated him coldly, get so close to him?

The next second, he suddenly rushed forward, swung the saber in his hand very quickly, and fell towards Lu Qi. The saber drew an afterimage in mid-air.

Lu Qi calmly turned around and dodged, then swung his saber across the air and swung it again.

Lu Qi raised the thin sword in his hand and saw the blade drawing a sword light in mid-air.

The saber fell to the ground with a "clang" sound.

The next second, the thin sword was hovering in front of Zharila's helmet.

Zharila's eyes were startled, and her expression was dull for a moment.

In his memory, he only felt that the sword strike just now was so fast that he couldn't react in time.

Then he lost.

Seeing his casual expression from beginning to end, Zharila took a breath, took a step back, and lowered her head: "I lost."

If it was a real duel, he might be able to hold on a little longer.

But fencing duels have a points system. Lu Qi scored five points with this sword, which is equivalent to winning the duel.

With just one strike of the sword, Zarela realized the gap between herself and Lu Qi.

Even in a real duel, he probably wouldn't be his opponent.

The people around were quiet for a moment, looking at the stage in a daze.

No one thought that the duel they were looking forward to would end so quickly.

Zharila was defeated so simply.

Amuda was shocked when he looked at the stage. He had already seen from this sword attack that Lu Qi's swordsmanship must be quite strong.

Fiona looked at Lu Qi on the stage with a calm expression, thinking this was expected.

"Is His Royal Highness so powerful?"

"What a fast sword!"

"I didn't even see it clearly just now. Zarella was defeated."

"As expected of His Highness the Prince."

The surrounding audience came to their senses and applauded one after another. Many noble ladies looked at Lu Qi, their eyes brightening a bit.

Although this sparring is different from the exciting sword duels that people imagine, most fencing duels are actually like this.

Often a moment or a careless decision can determine the outcome.

"Concession."

Lu Qi took off his helmet and said something to Zarela.

Zharila looked bitter, then sighed and smiled again: "Your Highness is very strong, and it is my honor to compete with you."

I thought that through this duel, I could show off in front of Fiona, and maybe she would treat him differently.

Now it seems that I thought too well.

He had no chance of winning from the start.

He suddenly felt that losing to the prince was not a shameful thing.

Now I have also seen the opponent's strength, which is indeed very strong.

He was convinced to lose.

Lu Qi smiled, then took off his armor, left the ring, and sat back next to Fiona.

The fencing duel did not last long and soon came to an end.

People discussed some details of the duel as conversation topics.

The music started again, preparing for a dance party.

There was no difference from before, but if there was any difference, it was that there were many more girls around Lu Qi.

"Your Highness, do you have a partner for the dance later?"

"I'm a pretty good dancer."

"The banquet is over later, do you still have time? I have some personal questions that I would like to ask Your Highness."

"Your Highness's swordsmanship is so good, can you teach me?"

"Your Highness, are you free tomorrow? Can I be a guest at His Highness's house?"

The young and beautiful aristocratic ladies surrounded Lu Qi in sweet voices. They talked to each other one by one, and the scent of various perfumes from their bodies continued to float towards Lu Qi's nose.

Some of them were bold enough to even get closer, trying to get closer to Lu Qi.

"Thank you for the invitation, I don't have time."

"There's really no time."

"Can't dance."

Out of politeness, Lu Qi could only respond one by one, while maintaining a certain distance and rejecting each invitation.

However, even though his rejection was obvious, these noble ladies still surrounded him without hesitation and chatted with him about various topics, all of them with charming eyes.

Fiona, on the other hand, had long been pushed aside.

Her eyes looked inside.

Seeing a noble lady leaning her breasts directly on Lu Qi's arm, she raised her eyebrows slightly.

After taking a sip of wine, I felt even more uncomfortable.

Suddenly he felt regretful and brought Lu Qi to the banquet.

"Your Highness is so welcome."

Amuda came over at this time, looked at the surrounded Lu Qi with a smile, and said with emotion, "But yes, if I were a woman, I would probably be as enthusiastic as them."

Fiona suddenly put down the cup in her hand and glanced at him with a cold face: "If you don't know how to chat, then stop talking."

After that, he stood up and walked directly over there.

Amuda, who had been scolded for no apparent reason, stood there feeling aggrieved.

But watching Fiona get into the crowd and pull out Lucci, she suddenly understood something.

"gone."

Pulling Lu Qi with one hand, Fiona was no longer prepared to stay here. After saying something to Amuda, she left the main banquet hall directly.

The two came outside, and the surroundings finally became quieter.

Lu Qi breathed a sigh of relief. The looks in those girls' eyes were as if they wanted to eat him. It was simply too scary.

Being popular is a good thing, but being too popular may not be a good thing.

Looking at Fiona in front of him, he thought for a moment and said, "Are you leaving before the banquet is over?"

Hearing this, Fiona stopped, turned around, glanced at him with cold eyes, and sneered: "Why, you haven't stayed enough, have you?"

"That's not true. I feel like I won't even have any bones left if I stay for a while longer."

Lu Qi looked at Miss Sword Girl who seemed to be in a bad mood, "It's just that if you leave like this, what will you say when you go home?"

Leaving the banquet without any reason before it is over is very impolite in aristocratic etiquette.

Moreover, the family asked Fiona to attend this banquet. After leaving like this, how will she explain it when she returns?

"Then don't say anything, Amuda will carry it."

Fiona released her hand holding Lu Qi's arm and continued to walk forward.

Lu Qi heard this and asked curiously: "How many things has your brother blocked for you since he was a child? Do you have any leverage against him?"

Hearing this, Fiona walked in front and said, "When he was a child, he secretly had a tryst with a noble lady and kissed her mouth to mouth. I happened to see her."

Lu Qi couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

This wave is really a secret that I have been eating for a lifetime.

Soon, the two left the manor and got on the carriage home.

In the evening, the carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Lax and Kashina were playing backgammon.

Lux put her little hand on the chessboard and tried to regret the move: "Give me another chance, I really didn't see it!"

"No!" Kashina pressed her hand firmly: "You regret taking so many steps."

"Damn it. Hey, they're back!"

Seeing that she was about to lose, Lux happened to see the stopped carriage. Her eyes lit up and she stopped playing chess. She stood up and ran over.

Kashina sighed helplessly and stood up as well.

Lu Qi and Fiona got off the carriage and saw Lux standing at the entrance of the courtyard.

She looked at the two of them curiously: "What did you do?"

Lu Qi replied casually: "Attended a banquet."

"Is it fun?"

"Is not fun."

"oh."

Lux lost interest immediately, and then said enthusiastically: "Let's play mahjong?"

For the past half month, there were only three of her, Kashina, and Fiona in the yard, and they couldn't even set up a pot of mahjong.

After not playing mahjong for half a month, Miss Crown Guard's hands were already very itchy.

Lu Qi glanced at her face and found that she was still in the midst of good fortune. He thought for a while and said, "Okay, but it will have to wait a while."

Lux asked doubtfully: "What are you waiting for?"

"Waiting for someone."

Lu Qi smiled.

Sitting in the yard, waiting for people while talking about what happened at the beach.

After a while, a carriage stopped.

Kashina stood up happily and greeted her: "Sister!"

Sona got off the carriage, saw Kashina and hugged her very much.

The two sisters look very close and harmonious.

After a while, Quinn arrived, followed by Bobby.

Seeing Bobby, Lu Qi immediately became energetic, stood up and said confidently: "The person I was waiting for is here, let's go mahjong quickly!"

Lux didn't know why he was so brave all of a sudden, but she raised her chest without any fear: "Come on!"

But before sitting at the mahjong table, Lu Qi briefly introduced Bobby.

Lux liked the cute Poppy very much at the first sight. She walked up to touch her head and asked like a big sister: "How old are you?"

Poppy raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him. He felt that her whole body was shining, as if she was glowing. It was so dazzling.

She likes dazzling things, and so do people.

Then he showed an innocent smile: "Seven hundred years old!"

"Seven years old? So cute."

Lux automatically ignored the hundreds of words in it, thinking that Poppy was just a child talking big words.

But she never expected that Bobby was telling the truth.

Looking at Lux who completely regarded Poppy as a child, Lu Qi laughed inwardly.

In terms of age, the total number of people present may not be older than Bobi.

But it’s not Lux’s fault, Poppy does look like a child and has the same personality.

Even among the yordles at this age, he is probably about the same age as Lux.

"Don't treat her like a child. She can fight with a hammer and swing harder than Galen."

Lu Qi took back Lux's little hand that had been impolitely placed on Poppy's head.

Hearing this, Lux looked at Bobby with shining eyes: "Are you so powerful?"

When she looked at him like this, Poppy scratched his head in embarrassment and said shyly: "It's not that powerful."

Seeing this, Lux picked up her hand again and rubbed her head lovingly.

Kashina noticed that there seemed to be two people missing, and asked strangely: "Where are Vayne and the others?"

Lu Qi said: "They went to deal with something and it will take a while before they can come back."

"oh."

Kashina nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Soon, Luqi, Lux, Kashina, and Fiona were sitting at the mahjong table.

Lu Qi asked Bobby to move a small chair and sit next to him.

Poppy had no objection. He blinked his big eyes and watched the four people shuffling the cards, feeling very curious about mahjong.

Soon, Lu Qi touched the first card. The first time he looked at it, a Dragon King smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The three-year period has arrived, and we welcome the Sparrow God to return to his throne!

Looking at the cards that almost reached the level of land draw at the beginning, Lu Qi couldn't help but feel a heroic feeling in his heart, "With Bobby in my hand, I have the same heroic feeling in the world."

This mascot, he really didn’t look for it in vain!

Thinking this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Lux across from him, and sneered in his heart.

Little Golden Retriever, from today on, the time when you dominated the world has passed!

at the same time.

Royal Capital Prison.

Silas was dragged back to the dungeon by two guards, who threw him behind the cage and retreated.

Deilde walked in holding a torch and looked at Silas who was lying there extremely exhausted and weak: "Twenty-five laps, a full six laps short. It's a pity that your dinner is gone today."

After saying that, he ignored it and exited the cell.

The door slammed shut, and the inside of the cage suddenly became dark, with only a dim light.

Silas's chest kept rising and falling, his breathing was extremely heavy, sweat poured down his body, and he felt his heart beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

There was no strength left in his whole body, and a huge amount of fatigue came over him, and his legs were especially sore.

However, looking at the dim ceiling, the corners of his mouth curled up.

He didn't hate this feeling.

It has been a long time since he ran like this under the broad sky and bathed in sunshine. Silas's memory of the last time he was like this was blurred.

The fresh air, the gentle sunshine, the cool breeze, and everything about the outside world once again activated Silas's desire for freedom in his chest.

free! free! free!

These two words kept flashing through his mind. At this moment, his desire for freedom reached an unprecedented level.

Silas clenched his fists and then raised them, his eyes becoming more determined.

He must not fall down so easily.

Sooner or later, he will regain his freedom, and he must persist until that day!

By then, not only him, but all fellow mages in Demacia will be free!

Laurent family.

In the living room, there were many people from Misilver City sitting.

Among them, there were a few senior ones sitting on the sofa, chatting casually.

"These two wines are indeed good, especially this beer. I was quite shocked when I tasted them for the first time."

An old man with half a head of white hair held up the cup in his hand and looked at the orange-yellow liquid in it with admiration.

"Indeed." A person next to him responded: "The sales volume that these two wines can bring is long-lasting. In this way, the family's economy finally does not have to be so nervous, and Mithril City can start brewing as soon as possible. "

"Where did you two get the recipe for this wine?"

Another person spoke up, curious about this.

Sebastian and Alma sat on the sofa opposite each other, listening to the questions.

Alma replied: "We are also lucky, but the uncles should not ask about the origin of this recipe."

"Yeah, that's right. Just have this recipe."

The white-haired old man didn't ask further questions. He thought of something and said casually: "Speaking of which, Fiona is over nineteen now, right?"

"For such an old woman, it's time to find a marriage for her."

"This time we come here to talk to you about this matter."

The old man sitting in the middle looked at the couple opposite and said, "Fiona has also reached the age of marriage. It's time to find a suitable partner for her."

Hearing this, Alma also squeezed out a smile and said: "This girl is only nineteen years old. It is too early to talk about marriage. Let's wait a while."

"That's what you told us last year."

The white-haired old man took a sip of beer and said: "I know that as a mother, you are reluctant to let go of your daughter, but as a woman gets older, she will eventually get married."

The old man next to him followed: "We will find a good husband for her. After the marriage, it will also be good for the family itself."

"She is so pretty, so she must be very popular. I think we can announce the news and see who comes to ask for her hand in marriage."

"She will get married eventually. It's impossible for her to remain unmarried for the rest of her life."

"We have trained her for so long just for this time."

The three old men discussed each other one by one.

Alma looked helpless and couldn't say anything.

These three people are the elders in the family, Sebastian's father's brothers and his uncle, who are older and have a strong say in the family.

Even though Sebastian is now the patriarch, many things still depend on their faces.

Seeing that the three of them were about to make a decision on the matter.

Sebastian, who had been quiet for a while, said: "The three uncles have just arrived in the capital, so why not take a good rest for a few days. It won't be too late to discuss this matter after the National Day."

Seeing him open his mouth, the white-haired old man said: "Yes, it won't be more than a few days."

"Then let's wait until after the National Day."

"It's better to implement this matter as soon as possible. After all, the younger the woman, the more popular she is."

The three of them skipped this topic and started talking about other things.

Alma got up at this time and walked outside.

When she reached the corridor outside, she sighed worriedly.

Judging from their intentions, it is obvious that this girl's engagement will most likely be finalized this time.

Can't put it off any longer.

Most women from noble families are destined to become tools for political marriages from birth.

This is how she married into the Laurent family, and now the same fate will befall her daughter.

However, Alma was powerless to stop this.

Among the nobility, seniority and seniority are more important than anything else.

If the three people in the house really decided to marry this girl, even if they made the decision without permission, she and her husband would have no choice.

Walking to a window and looking outside, Alma thought about things.

The relationship between my daughter and the prince seems to be good.

But to what extent their relationship has reached, Alma doesn't know.

Therefore, I couldn’t say it directly just now.

But seeing that girl always running there when she had nothing to do, it was obvious that her heart had been tied there for a long time. As a mother, how could she not see it?

But the other party is the royal family.

The Laurent family is just a declining first-rate noble family, and sometimes it is not as good as a second-rate noble family.

Alma didn't think she could reach such a high level.

Moreover, according to what she saw, the crown jewel of the Crown Guard family and the two ladies of the Bouvier family also had a good relationship with the prince.

In this comparison, our own company has no advantage at all.

Sighing, Alma walked outside.

In any case, after the National Day, we have to find a way to solve this matter.

At Lu Qi's house.

"I'm sorry, there are flowers on the bar, one color and four knots high, a total of fifty times!"

Lu Qi sneered, slapped the mahjong in his hand on the table, and then pushed down the cards in front of him one by one.

It had been a long time since he touched the card, and it was such a big card, which made him feel extremely comfortable!

I couldn't help but want to sigh.

Bobby, the eternal god!

"Give me money, give me money."

Lu Qi stretched out his hand, with an arrogant smile on his lips, looking down at the three girls.

Ever since the little golden retriever was transferred, he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been so arrogant.

"Damn it, can you two stop being so mean!"

Kasina took out the hardware unhappily, handed it over, and collapsed on the table with an expression of not wanting to play.

She couldn't find any gaming experience with these two cheating players.

Fiona also stood up after paying the money: "No more playing!"

After playing for a few times, I got a few tricks, and no one would be able to stand this anger.

Lux took out the five gold coins indifferently, and still looked at Quinn and Sona with interest: "Two are missing two, how about playing mahjong?"

She was so lucky that she couldn't lose.

He and Lu Qi worked almost alone, constantly harvesting Kashina and Fiona's small treasury.

Facing Lux's invitation, Quinn and Sona immediately shook their heads.

I don’t want to participate in this kind of free money giving activity at all.

Seeing that there was no one in the group, Lux sighed, feeling that she hadn't had enough yet.

Then, she looked at Poppy opposite, who looked innocent, and suddenly stood up with a smile: "Poppy, let me teach you how to play backgammon."

Bobby nodded: "Okay."

Afterwards, Lux took Poppy to the front yard to play backgammon.

Glancing at Miss Crown Guard, who was keen on bullying the newbies, Lu Qi laughed, stretched his waist, got up in a good mood, and started to prepare dinner.

It's been a while since he personally cooked.

As time passed, the aroma of the food spread to the entire yard, affecting every girl's nerves.

By the time Lu Qi prepared dinner, several girls were already sitting in the restaurant waiting for them.

Had dinner.

A few people were sitting on the sofa in the living room, chatting and enjoying desserts after the meal.

By the time the desserts were finished, everyone present looked extremely satisfied.

Lu Qi thought of something at this moment and said, "Yourna, bring the clothes you've made."

"yes."

After hearing this, Yourna turned around and walked towards the room.

Lux asked curiously: "What clothes?"

"You'll find out later."

Lu Qi replied casually.

After a while, Yourna took out the custom-made clothes from the tailor shop.

Lux, Kashina, Sona, Fiona, and Quinn all had a share, and Urna had already replaced her own share.

Poppy didn't, she wasn't there before Lucci set off.

But she was small, and Yourna said that there was some leftover silk satin at the tailor shop, and she could just make another one when the time came.

The clothes were distributed to everyone. Lux picked them up and compared them curiously: "It feels good."

She touched it a few times and found it to be very smooth and elastic. She even pulled it hard, but there were no tear marks.

Fiona also looked at the clothes in her hands and looked at Lu Qi: "Why did you suddenly think of making underwear for us?"

This clothing is obviously worn under the body, just like the tights, but the material looks much better.

It's obvious as soon as you get started.

Lu Qi replied: "This is called silk satin. I got it by chance. It has many effects. It is not afraid of water, fire, cold or heat, and is very durable. After thinking about it, I think it is most suitable to make it into underwear."

The girls still liked this outfit very much.

After all, who doesn’t like wearing comfortable clothes?

And it was sent by Lu Qi.

I just finished soaking in the hot springs later, so I can put them on.

Speaking of hot spring bathing, several people immediately packed up their clothes, changed venues, and all came to the backyard.

It was already night now, and the temperature in the air had dropped a lot.

As the steaming hot springs poured into the pool, the mist suddenly became a bit thicker as the hot and cold alternated.

The moist mist hit his face, which also made Lu Qi impatient.

He had been away for half a month and hadn't been in a hot spring for half a month. He missed it very much.

After pouring some medicinal wine into the hot spring pool, closing the white curtain, Lu Qi took off his clothes and immediately soaked his whole body into the pool.

The slightly cool skin on the outside and the contact with the hot hot springs, the feeling of the two merging together instantly brought Lu Qi an incomparable sense of comfort.

"comfortable."

He couldn't help but moan, leaned against the hot spring pool, closed his eyes, and felt it carefully.

On the right side, there was a splash of water, and several women entered the pool one after another.

"Bobby, come down quickly."

Lux looked at Poppy standing on top.

"I don't like water very much."

Bobby said awkwardly.

"Oh, it's very comfortable to soak in the hot spring." Lux stood up from the water, and drops of water suddenly fell down her slender and smooth body.

She came to Bobby and said with a smile, "I will wipe it for you when it gets wet."

With that said, he pulled Poppy into the hot spring pool and hugged her very affectionately.

Poppy's whole body was immediately soaked, and she leaned into Lux's arms, struggling twice subconsciously.

Then she settled down again and found that soaking in the bath felt not bad, her whole body was warm and comfortable.

The reason why the Yodles don't like water is that every time they encounter water, all the hair on their bodies gets wet, making it difficult to dry them at all.

Fortunately for those who can do magic, the water on their bodies will dry up after a spell.

But Poppy knows nothing about magic, and she wasn't interested in magic when she was in Yodel City.

But now that it’s all gone, there’s nothing more to say.

left side.

Lu Qi, who felt his whole body softening completely with the heat of the hot spring, leaned on the edge and didn't want to move.

He opened his eyes, mist swirling around him.

His eyes looked towards the night.

The autumn moon is extraordinarily round and bright.

For those who love to admire the moon, it is nothing short of a beautiful thing.

Appreciating the moonlight tonight, Lu Qi immersed himself in the hot spring bath.

Suddenly, Lux's exclamation came from the right side: "It's not good! Poppy has fainted!"

She stood up in the water in a panic, looking at the dizzy Bobby, not knowing what to do.

Next to them, Fiona, Kashina, Quinn, Sona and Yourna were also shocked by this scene.

When Lu Qi heard this exclamation, he suddenly remembered that he was taking a wine bath today!

He immediately said: "Move her out of the pool quickly!"

As soon as the words fell, the right side immediately launched into action.

Bobby was carried out of the hot spring pool.

And because of Poppy's fainting, today's hot spring ended early.

Everyone returned to the living room, dried her body, put on her clothes, and placed her on the sofa.

"It's okay, I'm just drunk, just like Lux did before."

After Lu Qi checked it, he said casually.

Poppy's drinking capacity is not much better than Lux's.

But what happened to be taking a bath today was a wine bath, with a lot of medicinal wine sprinkled in it. It would be strange that Poppy didn't feel dizzy after taking such a bath.

This situation is just like when Miss Crown Guard took a wine bath for the first time.

Lux almost fainted when she took a wine bath for the first time. Her body's ability to absorb the medicine was still very strong, and she became drunk as she soaked.

When Lux heard this, she was unconvinced and said, "Why did I faint like this in the first place?"

Lu Qi glanced at her and said with a chuckle: "If others hadn't stopped you, you would have drank all the hot spring pool. Don't you have some idea in your heart?"

Lux was suddenly speechless and speechless.

Finally, he just snorted, turned away, and ignored him.

Lu Qi looked at Bobby, who was still dazed, and smiled.

Needless to say, Poppy who was directly dizzy was much scarier than Lux who was half drunk and half dazed.

However, as the darlings of God, the Yodels are not so prone to trouble.

Seeing that Bobby was fine, the girls felt relieved.

Lux, who dragged her down, was responsible for taking care of Poppy.

Fiona stood up and glanced at Lu Qi: "Follow me, Sona will come too."

After saying that, she headed outside.

Lu Qi and Sona got up and followed her to the backyard.

He couldn't help but asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

"Didn't I tell you to teach you the waltz?"

Fiona turned around and looked at him with cold eyes.

"Oh, come on!"

Lu Qi became somewhat interested and looked forward to it.

"In the waltz, the dance steps of men and women are different, but they are roughly the same. I will teach you the most basic ones first."

Fiona took a step forward, raised her left hand and put it on Lu Qi's shoulder: "Generally for a double waltz, your right hand is placed on the back of the lady's left shoulder, and then the position changes according to the movement of the dance steps."

Hearing this, Lu Qi did as he was told, raised his right hand and put it on her left shoulder.

"Then, hold the other hand."

Fiona raised her right hand and held it with Lu Qi's slowly raised left hand.

The distance between the two of them was less than one meter. In this posture, they were both looking at each other's face at close range.

Lu Qi could smell the fragrance of the hot spring from her body, looked at her cool and reddish face, looked at her slightly wet hair, and felt the cool temperature of her little hands.

Fiona could feel Lu Qi's breath, the smell of his body, and the warmth of her palms.

Her heart still beat faster than expected, but she didn't hate this feeling.

On the side, Sona looked at the two of them and blinked.

Fiona was a little shorter than Lu Qi, so at close range, she raised her head and looked at Lu Qi: "Next, you can move as I move, and follow my guidance."

Lu Qi nodded and got ready.

Then, Fiona took a step back, and Lucci took a step forward. She took a step forward, and Lucci took a step back.

This is the most basic step. Simply put, you must first master this sense of rhythm.

Lu Qi felt that he was studying very seriously, but he still accidentally stepped forward and stepped on Fiona's foot.

"Feel sorry."

"fine."

Fiona didn't care and said: "In a double waltz, you not only have to pay attention to yourself, but also to the rhythm of your partner. This is the result of a wrong rhythm."

"Uh-huh."

Lu Qi nodded repeatedly.

“Next, get used to the rhythm of the waltz to the music.”

Fiona said and glanced at Sona who was standing aside, "Can you please accompany me."

Sona nodded, sat down on the side, then put Suo Hua on her lap, and then started playing the waltz.

"Just like before, follow my lead."

Fiona said, finding a rhythm.

At about the same time, his body began to sway lightly, leading Lu Qi to dance a waltz.

The first few steps went very smoothly, but at a turning point in the movement, Lu Qi stopped and stepped on Fiona's foot.

He immediately apologized and said, "Sorry."

"It's okay." Fiona kept calm and found the rhythm again, "Let's start over again. The important thing is the rhythm. You have to know in your heart what moves and how to move every few beats."

She remained patient.

"Uh-huh."

Lu Qi nodded again, looking very serious and eager to learn.

One minute later.

Fiona, whose foot was stepped on again, took a deep breath and said, "It's okay. It's normal for beginners to make such mistakes."

five minutes later.

Fiona raised her eyebrows slightly: "You have made the same mistake three times in a row."

Fifteen minutes later.

Fiona took another deep breath and tried to stay calm: "It's okay, be careful next time!"

Half an hour later.

Fiona looked at the shoe prints and raised her head to look at Lu Qi: "Do you have a grudge against my feet? Why can't you learn such a simple movement?"

Forty-five minutes later.

"I told you! This place needs to be turned around, not forward!"

Fiona had long lost her calm look, and looked at the innocent-faced Lu Qi opposite her with anger in her eyes.

after an hour.

"Stop stepping on my toes!!!"

Fiona gritted her teeth and said this, staring at the guy in front of her, her emotions already on the verge of collapse.

I thought that with this guy's talent, learning a waltz would be easy.

But she never expected that this guy would be so clumsy when learning to dance!

"I don't want to either."

In response, Lu Qi looked innocent and said weakly: "How about you let me practice alone for a while."

He was a little embarrassed to step on it.

"No!" Fiona said with a cold face, not believing this evil: "I must teach you!"

But Sona, who had been playing the piano for nearly an hour, was not very tired at the moment.

Looking at the two people over there, one getting more ferocious the more he taught, the other getting stupider the more he learned, they also snickered.

This was the first time she had seen His Highness so stupid.

It's quite interesting to see it this way.

Twenty minutes later.

The two finally passed some basic moves smoothly, and Lu Qi did not make any mistakes.

Fiona stopped, then let go of her hands that were starting to sweat. Her cold face was full of exhaustion: "That's it for today."

She felt extremely tired when she thought that there were still many waltz steps to be taught.

Lu Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Fiona with a cold face, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, mentor."

Fiona glanced at him, didn't bother to talk to him, and walked directly towards the living room.

In the living room.

Lux, who was responsible for taking care of Poppy, was already lying on the sofa, the two figures leaning on each other, and fell asleep.

As for Kashina and Quinn, in order not to disturb Lu Qi's waltz learning, they trained in the front yard.

Fiona drank a glass of beer to calm down. After finishing the work, she went to the front yard with Lu Qi and Sona, lay on the rocking chair and looked at the moonlight.

About half past ten.

Lux was woken up and was sent home by Yurna in a daze.

Fiona also went back to Laurent's house.

Kashina, Sona and Quinn took Bobby away.

Lu Qi's courtyard suddenly became a lot deserted and quiet.

He was lying on the rocking chair, drinking sake and looking at the moonlight, feeling quite happy and leisurely.

In a few days, it will be the birthday of Miss Crown Guard.

I wonder if the birthday gift for her is ready.

It’s always easy to mess up your schedule. From midnight last night to now, I stayed up all night.

I'm a little stuck with coding, so I plan to stay up until night, just in time to change my schedule.
