The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

Jiawen

“Father, have you heard?” A young man with a firm face said in front of Jarvan III, “Fiona from the Laurent family seems to be going to a duel with Robert from the Crownguard family.”

The king of Demacia, whose hair and beard had all turned gray, Jarvan III, lost a chess piece in his hand, with a look of surprise on his face: “Duel? What happened to the little girl from the Laurent family?”

“I don’t know very well.” The young man is the king’s only son, Jarvan IV. He pushed a pawn and laughed, “I also heard from Galen of the Crownguard family when I went to the Fearless Pioneer yesterday. , this matter is now spreading throughout Xiongdu,The Crownguard family is even more rumored to be crazy, even people like Galen who don’t know what’s going on outside the window know about it. ”

Jarvan III showed an interested expression. He turned his head to look at a mature man standing behind him: “Xin Zhao, do you know about this?”

The middle-aged man was wearing armor, with a tall and straight figure, sword eyebrows and eagle eyes. Although they just stood quietly watching Jiawen and his son play chess, it gave people a sense of oppression like a fierce tiger and a lion, but also a sense of vigor like a horse, a dragon, and a bird.

The man doesn’t look like a Demacian at first glance. His eye sockets are very shallow, his nose is not high, and his long black hair is tied in a simple braid. He has a distinctive foreign appearance.

The man named Zhao Xin nodded lightly: “Reporting to Your Majesty, I have heard a little about this matter. The Laurent family originally entered into a marriage with the Crownguard family, Miss Fiona and Mr. Robert.”

“Oh? You’re actually engaged?” Jarvan III was very surprised, “This king personally helped the Laurent family as a matchmaker, and no one wanted to marry that little girl Fiona. The king of the defending family also found a few Aren’t they all rejected?”

“Report to Your Majesty.” Xin Zhao followed the etiquette meticulously and continued, “The one who agreed to be engaged to the Laurent family is the branch of the Crownguard family, and Viscount Catherine and her son Robert have nothing to do with the Crownguard family. ”

“Subsidiary? No wonder this king hasn’t heard of it.” Jarvan III stroked his beard, “But they actually agreed to Laurent’s marriage. It’s brave, but what about the duel?”

“Reporting to Your Majesty, Miss Fiona seems to be very opposed to this marriage, but the Crown Guard family is unwilling to withdraw the engagement, so Miss Fiona proposed a duel to Mr. Robert, and the outcome of the duel will determine whether the marriage should be followed. ”

Section 421

“Child Fiona…” Jarvan III laughed, “It’s really hard for Sebastian, with such an uneasy daughter, this disturbance will cause chaos to both the Crownguard’s family and the Laurent’s family. ”

Jarvan III moved the pawn away: “That Laurent’s daughter named Fiona is so scary? I think you all regard her as a monster.”

“Of course it’s not a monster, but it’s about the same.” Jarvan III shook his head and said, “Last year, I went to see the younger generation’s martial arts tournament. Although you and Galen, who are already in the army, didn’t participate, I Wang thought that the tournament would be boring, but after all, it was a meeting held by various nobles, so he still attended it.”

Jarvan III nodded. In recent years, the war with Noxus has become increasingly tense, and the barbarians in the northern Freljord have also become more and more rampant. In addition, the Silas incident in Biangou Town a few years ago made the mage The problem has become more serious. Demacia, suffering from internal and external troubles, has started military reforms. The young generation of nobles who are truly talented and capable have joined the army for training early, even if he is a prince. So the so-called contest Meetings should be just a pastime with little gold content.

Jiawen III sighed, with complex expressions in his eyes: “But I didn’t expect that, I went to the martial arts competition where I thought it would be boring, but I saw a wonderful scene instead.”

“Fiona of Laurent…” Jarvan IV had heard a little about this girl’s deeds, “I heard that she shined in martial arts?”

“It’s not just a big show.” Jarvan III patted his legs and said, “She beat all the people who participated in the competition into pigs’ heads! Everyone crying for their father and mother is really embarrassing to the Demacians.”

“She is so strong? A girl?” Jarvan IV was very interested. He also knew many strong female warriors in the army, but the environment of the army is different from that of the nobles. It is between hard training and a comfortable life. The difference is that nobles who have not joined the army must have strong self-control if they want to become stronger.

“The sword skills of the Laurent family are not suitable for the battlefield, but they are unmatched in duels.” Jarvan III stroked his beard, “But Fiona’s sword skills, even in the army, have at least reached the level of a sword captain .”

Jarvan IV was a little surprised. It must be extraordinary for his father to make such an evaluation.

He looked at Xin Zhao again: “Uncle, have you gone to see it too?”

Xin Zhao nodded: “Reporting to His Royal Highness, I went to see it with His Majesty the King.”

“What do you think of that Fiona?”

“Outstanding talent, there is no one in a million. Given time, he will become a great weapon.”

Jarvan IV was even more surprised. Xin Zhao’s evaluation of that girl was too high, even higher than his evaluation.

Jarvan IV suddenly became interested: “It seems that I have to watch this duel.”

Jiawen III also nodded and said: “Then Father will go with you, it’s rare for you to come back from the army, so you should spend more time with Father.”

“As ordered.” Jarvan IV asked Xin Zhao, “When will the duel start?”

“Three days later.”

“That’s not too late.” Jarvan III thought for a while, “By the way, what about Robert, the offshoot of the defending family? He dares to accept a duel with Fiona, so he should have some skills, right?”

Jiawen III also said: “That’s right, so what about that Robert? Why doesn’t this king have any impression of him? Didn’t he come to the last martial arts competition?”

“Report to Your Majesty.” Zhao Dao said, “Master Robert of the Crown Guard family made an appearance at last year’s tournament.”

“Really? Why don’t I remember?”

“Because he was defeated by Miss Fiona just like everyone else.”

Jarvan IV was a little unconvinced: “He must not be that bad, why not let him accept the challenge?”

Xin Zhao hesitated for a moment: “I have seen Mr. Robert’s swordsmanship, with all due respect…He is not expected to learn martial arts. Contrary to Miss Fiona, his talent is quite poor. ”

Jiawen and his son looked at each other in blank dismay.

Since that’s the case…

How dare that Robert accept this duel?
