Chapter 33 Sunny Lux
"Welcome, my child."
Jarvin III smiled amiably. He even took off the crown he was wearing and put it on the desk, then stood and looked at Rowan with a smile.
He looked very much like the old grandfathers in Qingfeng Town that Rowan was familiar with.
They always smiled like this, laughing and scolding Rowan for being naughty and useless.
"Rowan, meet your majesty." Rowan made a knight's salute and bowed.
"Stand up, then, come to me, I have a lot to say to you." Jarvin III waved and said.
He looked at Mette, and saw Mette nodded, and found a stool and put it next to the desk.
Then Mette said, "Please sit down, Mr. Rowan."
"You don't have to call me Mr., just call me Rowan." Rowan looked at Mette and said.
Mette was well maintained and looked like he was in his thirties, but to be the butler of the Light Shield Family, that is, the butler of the royal family, how could he be only thirty years old? Therefore, Rowan couldn't stand being called "Your Excellency" by a man who might be over fifty or even sixty years old.
Met nodded and smiled: "Okay, Rowan."
"Come on, let's have a good chat." Jarvan III also sat down and said with a laugh.
"First of all, I want to congratulate you. You don't have to go to the garrison area anymore. You not only eliminated all the Noxians in the Hongshi Forest and protected the border security of Demacia, but also let the reconnaissance team bring back very important news. You have made great contributions, so I want to give you the reward you deserve."
"Rowan." Jarvan III put away his smile and said seriously: "You officially became the sword captain of the Demacia war group. You can summon the army of the military district during wartime. You also have the right to five private knights, and you also have your own house in the noble manor. Because of your relationship with the Bouville family, I put the house around the Bouville family. When you meet Lestara, she will tell you the location."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Rowan said happily.
"So, my house is also a huge manor?"
"." Jarvan III was silent, then he coughed and said, "Well, it may be a little small? Although you have been promoted, you have not yet obtained the title, and therefore, you cannot own a manor."
"However, you can work hard. Demacia will not forget the merits of the warriors." Jarvan III immediately added.
Rowan nodded, and then Jarvan III continued, "So, are you willing to tell me what you did in the Macrostone Forest?"
"I really want to know how you did it. According to Hargod, you cleared all the Noxians in the Macrostone Forest in one night. I asked Zhao Xin, and he said that it was not difficult to deal with those miscellaneous soldiers, but it was difficult to find them in one night if they were scattered. Moreover, at night, Zhao Xin's vision would be impaired."
Jarvan III laughed as he spoke, pointing at Zhao Xin and said, "Don't look at him as young as he looks. He is now an old grandfather. He is older than me."
"Your Majesty." Zhao Xin sighed beside him.
"What? It's not a secret." Jarvan III glanced at him.
Rowan also looked over and saw Zhao Xin and Mette looking at him, showing their interest in what he did in the Hongshi Forest.
"I am"
More than ten minutes later, Rowan finished talking about what he did in the Hongshi Forest.
Jarvan III showed an admiring expression, patted Rowan on the shoulder, and said, "Very good, you are better than I thought, you know? In fact, I have been paying attention to you not long after you came to Xiongdu."
"But you really gave me a surprise this time."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Don't be too modest." Jarvan III shook his head at Rowan, "You are so young, you are confident and proud, and you have done such a big thing, why are you so cautious?"
Rowan was silent.
"Or are you worried that some nobles will deal with you?" Jarvan III suddenly said.
"Not really, it's just that I'm used to it." Rowan said immediately.
"Then you have to change this habit of yours." Jarvan III said, "Demacia's young people should be sunny and confident. If they do something that is praised, they should stand tall and accept the praise."
"Your Majesty, before he came to the palace, he stood on his horse in the Grand Square to accept the praise of the citizens." Mette suddenly said.
Jarvan III turned his head and stared at Rowan, with a slight curl of his lips.
"Can your habits be changed at any time?" he asked Rowan.
"."
"Okay, Your Majesty, I admit that I am worried about being targeted." Rowan said immediately.
Rowan still understands the truth that the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
"Then you don't have to worry about it in the future." Jarvan III said lightly: "Demacia still has many shortcomings, and there are many unfair things happening in places I can't see, but in this matter, in the matter of honor, no one can target you because of this."
"Fairness is difficult to achieve, but I will try my best." Jarvan III seemed to be assuring Rowan.
"Unfair things, Your Majesty, do you mean the mage?" Rowan suddenly asked.
"Rowan, this is not the question you should ask." Before Jarvan III could speak, Mette spoke up.
After that, he looked at Jarvan III and said loudly: "Your Majesty, he is still young, and he grew up in a town outside the city. He doesn't know what heresy means to Demacia, so..."
"You worry too much, Mette." Jarvan III frowned and waved his hand: "This topic is not so bad that it can't be put on the table."
"Yes, I crossed the line, Your Majesty." Mette stepped back.
Jarvan III looked at Rowan again and said: "But what Mette said is also right. This matter is not something you can ask, and I don't allow you to participate in this matter. Stay away from the Demon Seekers. If you need anything and Buwell can't satisfy you, come to me."
"Okay."
"Then, you go and see your new home now?" Jarvan III said with a smile.
Rowan nodded, and then, at Mette's call, a maid came up and took Rowan out of Jarvan III's study.
Only Mette, Xin Zhao, and Jarvan III were left in the room.
"Your Majesty, I can guarantee that he has not come into contact with conservatives." Mette suddenly spoke.
"Of course I know that the Bouvier family supports me. Barrett is my best friend, and Lestara is also an excellent non-stubborn person." Jarvan III said in a deep voice.
"However, he will ask about the mage."
"Perhaps, he will know more than just fighting." Jarvan III said with a smile.
Demacia is fair, peaceful, and just, but all this is only for ordinary people. If it is a mage, then birth is sinful.
But Jarvan III thinks this is wrong, because being born a mage, he should be imprisoned and is a criminal, which violates the justice in Jarvan III's heart.
But at the moment he has no way, because the ban on magic is engraved in the bones of the Demacians. Even if he is the king, he can't change all this with a word. The resistance is so great that Jarvan III is a little scared.
He is worried that if he wants to change the current situation in Demacia and solve this problem, it will cause more problems.
"But Mette, you seem to like this boy very much?"
"Of course, I like all excellent talents." Mette smiled and bent down.
Zhao Xin on the side also said: "He is indeed very good."
"So. Are you going to adopt him as your son?" Jarvan III suddenly said.
"Your Majesty. You, ah."
"Hahahahaha!"
——————
Carrying carrots, Rowan left the Throne Mountain. As soon as he walked out of the Throne Mountain, Rowan stayed where he was.
Because in front, a girl wearing a yellow skirt, with her hair tied up and her soft golden hair scattered was squatting and teasing a cat. She smiled like a flower, as bright as a little sun.
"Lux!"
Rowen shouted.
The girl over there turned her head and showed a delicate and beautiful little face. When she saw Rowan for the first time, her big blue eyes were full of surprise.
"Hey! You are finally back!"
Not far away, Lux said loudly with her hands on her waist.
She smiled very happily, and no one would be unhappy to see this smile.
Therefore, Rowan also rubbed his nose and laughed happily.
He already had someone waiting for him in the Demacia capital.
