After Lux's secret conversation with his mother, time has quietly passed by another week.

In the past week, the court in Demacia Xiongdu can be said to be very lively.

Everyone finally reached a consensus on the expedition to Ionia and began to hurry up and prepare the personnel and supplies of this expeditionary force. Then Madame Ogsha presented a bold proposal back to the kingdom on behalf of the Mianwei family, which aroused storm.

.

Everyone was quarreling about the plan of the "Master Criminal Army", and even caused a fierce discussion between the radical ban on demons and the moderate ban on demons within the kingdom.

(There is no non-forbidden demon sect on Demacia, only the difference between mild forbidden demons and radical forbidden demons)

"The moderates represented by the Mianwei family believe that the power of the mage can also be used."

"This time, we are fighting overseas thousands of miles away. Even if these sinners make any trouble on the battlefield of Ionia, they will not make trouble for us Demacia."

"Let these mages make meritorious contributions to their crimes, and can also reduce the casualties of our Debon warriors and retain more vitality to deal with the increasingly crazy offensive of Noxus."

Demacia Palace, beside the fountain pool in the garden.

The elderly King Garven III introduced to his young prince the recent political situation in the Demacia court.

As he gets older, his body becomes less and less powerful than his prime. Sooner or later, this kingdom will be handed over to Prince Jiawen.

But now Prince Jiawen is just a newly grown boy.

Therefore, the old king has paid great attention to the cultivation of princes recently, especially Prince Jiawen is not good at training politically.

"The above are the opinions of the Mianwei family and the moderates."

"But Commander Eldred, who is the Demonic Corps' Corps and the radicals he leads strongly oppose this."

"They believe that magic should never be regarded as a force, driven by the Kingdom of Demacia - even in the form of the so-called 'Master Criminal Army'."

"Especially those mages who are imprisoned in the Forbidden Demon Tower, many of them are sinners who have lost control of their magic power or for some worse reasons."

"Demacia's attitude towards these sinners is not friendly."

"If these resentful mages are released, even if they are expelled to Aionia thousands of miles away, they may cause irreversible damage to the kingdom in the future."

“…”

The old king moved the views of both factions and crushed them and explained them carefully.

Then he looked at Prince Jiawen and asked with expectant eyes: "Jiawen, what do you think?"

The prince replied almost without hesitation: "I think the Mianwei family is right."

"Why?" asked the old king.

"Because Galen is my brother," the prince said: "I believe the Mianwei family is right."

Jiawen III: "..."

"Father..." Prince Jiawen, who is nine feet tall and muscled, sometimes retains the shyness he was when he was a teenager in front of his father.

He asked carefully: "Am I wrong?"

"Haha..." The old king smiled: "It's not wrong to you."

Yes... With this child's current political level, perhaps he has no brainstorm to believe that the Mianwei family is right.

Mianwei was a generational friend of the Guangdun family. He had also seen Garen's young man. He was indeed a great young man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, loyalty and courage.

If he dies today, Prince Gavin can rest assured that he will rely on Garen and the Mianwei family behind him.

Jiawen III thought so melancholy.

"Javen." The old king had the intention of training his heir again and asked the prince, "Then what do you think I would choose as a king between the radicals and the moderates?"

"This..." Prince Jiawen looked embarrassed.

His father is famously cunning. Both factions of people in the court have been arguing for several days, and the old king has never made a direct statement.

Perhaps some people can guess the thoughts of Jiawen III, but Prince Jiawen, who has only trained his military power and military strategy since he was a child, is obviously not one of such a smart person.

"I guess... Father, you must support the radicals?" He finally reluctantly answered.

"Why?" asked the old king.

"Because you have always supported Commander Eldred's ban on demons."

"Am I very supportive?" the old king asked in a complicated tone.

"Uh..." The prince was a little confused.

During the decades when Jiawen III ruled, the power of the Demon Search Corps has been expanding.

The number of personnel, equipment level, and budget funds are increasing steadily every year.

Isn't this called support?

"No, this is not called support." The old king's eyes were deep, and he revealed his true words in front of the prince for the first time: "This is called out of control."

"What?!" the prince was slightly surprised.

The word "out of control" is an extremely dangerous accusation in the eyes of the young prince: "Father, are you saying that the Demon Scout Corps... want to rebel?"

"..." The old king was silent.

He used to want to train the prince to be a king, so he didn't teach him these intrigue politics when he was a child.

But now his body is aging faster and faster, and the domestic political situation has become more and more turbulent.

At this time, Garvan III couldn't help but remember the latest version of "A Brief Description of Garna's Thoughts" sent back by Ogesha, as well as the analysis of Demacia's political situation in the article.

Even the Zuan people thousands of miles away understood some things, and it was time for him to explain them clearly to the prince.

"Rebellion? Child, do you think that only aristocrats can be out of control if they rebel?"

"No." The old king shook his head: "Javen, remember that the king's power will always be directly reflected in the employment of people."

"You are the king whoever you use listens to you."

"They don't listen to you, but they ask you to follow their advice, and you are a puppet."

The nobles did not need to rebel at all. They just needed to work together to engage in "non-violent non-cooperation" to make the king concessions and surrender in many things.

The Demon Search Corps and the radical forbidden demon forces behind it are a huge interest group with this energy.

"Actually, I know that the policy of banning demons has gradually reached its extreme. I don't want to relax the policy of banning demons and give the demons a way out." The old king finally revealed his thoughts in front of the prince.

He is actually not a radical at all. He also wants to relax the increasingly tightening policy of anti-demonism.

But relaxing the policy of banning demons is actually to cut off the power of the Demon Corps and seize the job that the nobles hold in their hands.

To do this, you need great determination and courage.

Jiawen III has never been able to make up this decision in the past and dare not take this risk.

As a result, he could only be kidnapped by the out-of-control evil-ban interests group, gradually expanding the power of the Magic Search Corps, and promoting Demacia's magic-ban policy to be continuously tightened.

So in the eyes of Prince Jiawen and others who do not know the truth, his king, who cannot help but be a radical faction who has made great efforts to promote the anti-demon policy.

"But in fact, I don't support such an extreme anti-demon policy at all."

“I even support the rational use of magic.”

"What?!" Prince Jiawen was shocked again. He did not expect that his father would say such unpolitical words in private.

"Haha, are you surprised?" The old king smiled: "Actually, magic is very useful, and everyone has tacit understanding of this."

Good romance novels

As he said that, Jiawen III raised the letter in his hand.

That was the letter sent back from Zuan a few days ago by Madame Ogsha, and it was also the cause of the controversy in the court.

"Javen, think about it, it takes more than a month to travel from Zuan to Demacia, and our mission has been less than 20 days since we arrived in Zuan."

"How do you think Ogsha's letter was sent back?"

"Hey?" Prince Jiawen widened his eyes in surprise.

Ogesha's letter was naturally sent back through the "special channel" of the leader.

That is, snorkeling through Tam's abyss.

By magic.

The nobles of Demacia could guess the truth about this matter, but none of them exposed it.

Because if there is no magic, it will take 2 or 3 months to communicate information between Demacia and Zuan.

With regard to this communication efficiency, how can the two sides quickly organize an "international column" to realize their cooperation strategy for expedition to Ionia?

So at this time, the shrewd nobles who are usually as smart as ghosts have their brains broken down, just thinking that those letters are blown back by the strong wind, and are the magical skills of pure nature.

This also includes radical nobles.

Because Noxus is the common enemy of the two factions, the radicals do not want to hinder the great strategy of Noxus, which De Zu joined hands to confront.

"This..." Prince Jiawen's three views were refreshed again. He had a new understanding of Demacia's national conditions.

The old king struck while the iron was hot and asked in a test tone:
