"It will be soon."
Li Lin thought of Shyvana.
If nothing unexpected happened, with my intervention, the King of Demacia would not be assassinated.
Judging from Jarvan IV's attitude, he will not marry Lux, and he might even marry Shyvana as his queen.
By then, the Demacia royal family will possess dragon blood and can be called the "Dragon Kingdom"...
For a while afterwards, Jarvan IV and Li Lin told each other some strange stories about Demacia and Piltover, and they laughed from time to time.
They were like a pair of old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, telling each other about their past experiences.
After three rounds of drinks, when the Shuoyinting Tavern band finished playing, Aitla and the others took their leave.
Jarvan IV, who was a little drunk, took a deep breath and said to Li Lin, "It is the greatest honor of my life to meet Garen from the Crownguard family and you from Piltover!
"If I get the chance, I'll definitely introduce you to Garen! That clueless kid is still working hard to join the Fearless Vanguard!"
"You are too kind, Your Highness..." Li Lin stared into Jarvan IV's eyes, seeing his hesitation. "You seem to be worried about something?"
"Hey, this kind of thing..." Jarvan IV sighed heavily, tears flickering in his eyes. "I received news that Ted, my lieutenant and mentor, who helped me escape earlier, has been captured alive by Noxus."
He paused for a moment, "Noxus sent an envoy, trying to use him to exchange for Noxian prisoners captured by Demacia..."
"Is there any need to hesitate? Of course the lives of the soldiers should be the most important thing." Li Lin said without hesitation.
"Of course... of course, that's what I thought." Jarvan IV clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the side of the chair. "But they demanded that I be present in person at the prisoner exchange meeting."
Black Rose hasn't given up her plan yet...
Li Lin frowned, "This is a conspiracy."
"My new adjutant, Alberk, and the new Sword Captain of the Fearless Vanguard, Pardek, also think so."
Jarvan IV shook his head, his expression seemingly calm, but the cold light in his eyes was enough to explain his mood.
"They persuaded me not to participate in the negotiations with Noxus, saying that Lord Barrett would arrive here within a week and take me back...
"It was because of my recklessness and mistakes that so many soldiers died outside of Demacia, and even their heroic spirits could not return home.
"Now that I've heard that Ted is still alive, I just can't bring myself to give up on him...
"If it were you, Li Lin, I can see that you are a wise man. What would you do if it were you?"
Jarvan IV looked up, his blue pupils moving in his slightly red and swollen eye sockets, and his gaze finally stopped on Li Lin's face.
It turns out that you seemed a little uneasy throughout the entire banquet, and you were worried about this the whole time...
"Your Highness, this isn't a problem you need to consider at all," Li Lin said calmly. "If I were you, I would attend this negotiation meeting and exchange Ted back... because I have enough cards in my hand."
Jarvan IV couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"I'll help you." Li Lin smiled. "After all, we are friends... aren't we?"
