Jarvan was completely taken aback, staring at Tianna in disbelief.
After calming himself, he said to Tianna:
"The punishnt can wait. First, arrange for the cleanup of the battlefield and the calming of the people. Then, let's have a eting..."
Tianna nodded and imdiately began to act.
Jarvan, anwhile, led Chen and the others to a conference room in the Royal City.
These few who had fought with him until the end were the only ones he could trust. So, Jarvan revealed everything he knew and then voiced his doubt:
"Although there's no evidence, all signs point to Tianna wanting to seize power for herself, not hand it over to ! The mont I saw her, I even thought she had taken down the Soul Hunter Corps and was using the opportunity to usurp power!"
Lux pondered seriously, then analyzed and replied:
"Tianna is my aunt. I know her character. She's strong-willed and likes to do everything herself. If she wanted to seize power, I'd believe it, but I know she would never do anything to harm Demacia. If she were to seize power at this ti, all of Demacia would fall into chaos!"
Fiora rubbed her fingers; she understood Lux's aning:
"So, you an if Tianna wanted to take power, she wouldn't directly launch a rebellion, but rather act as a regent, control the overall situation, win over forces from all over Demacia, and then slowly eliminate Prince Jarvan and the forces behind him in secret, rather than directly carrying out a coup that would cause such great harm to Demacia!"
At this mont, Chen was writing and drawing on a piece of paper. Suddenly, he flicked his pen, leaned back in his chair, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said:
"Good heavens! Actually, you're all right, but in fact, everything that happened today was planned by Tianna!"
The others were sowhat surprised, and Jarvan IV hurriedly asked:
"What?"
Chen twirled his pen as he explained to them:
"Jarvan, from the mont I t you, I knew you were a shrewd and intelligent person, yet in Demacian politics, you've acted not only unintelligent but utterly foolish!"
Lux turned and glared. How could anyone speak to the future King of Demacia like that? Even though she and Jarvan were like siblings, she wouldn't dare to call Jarvan foolish like Chen did.
But Jarvan IV smiled slightly, offered no rebuttal, and simply replied:
"You're not wrong."
Chen exchanged a knowing smile with him:
"You're hiding your true abilities!"
Jarvan shrugged, his eyes narrowing slightly:
"Chen, it truly is you. You've seen through ."
Chen continued:
"Your father passed away, mages rioted everywhere, the Soulless held imnse power, the governnt began to fracture, various regions of Demacia harbored their own agendas, and Freljord to the north and Noxus to the east were also eyeing us covetously. Demacia faced troubles both internal and external."
Jarvan sighed deeply:
"Yes, Demacia faced arguably the greatest crisis since its founding. Mage riots denied Demacia peace, and the Soulless gaining power was inevitable. Even if I hadn't approved, in such a situation, the Soulless's power would still have been imnse. At that ti, I didn't have the ability to oppose them."
Chen clapped his hands softly:
"So you thought, since you couldn't control the growth of the Soulless's power at that ti anyway, you might as well directly grant them power, pretending not to understand the threat of delegation! Making the ministers think you were a weak person."
Jarvan crossed his arms, smiling.
It seed this prince was even more formidable than he had imagined; he had been calculating without pause. Chen continued:
"The Soulless's power beca imnse, even affecting the positions of ministers. The Soulless had even started to act against ministers, yet you deliberately stood by and allowed the Soulless to expand their influence."
Jarvan made a gesture like a balance scale with his hands:
"This way, the ministers would unite to oppose the Soulless. With the two factions vying, I could secretly cultivate my own forces and then resolve these issues at the appropriate ti. That's why I wanted to ask for your help before."
"Good heavens, you wanted to solve such a ss."
Chen was glad he hadn't accepted; otherwise, it would have been a pure trap. Five million gold coins would definitely have been too little. Chen continued:
"Tianna is the representative of the ministers. She overtly bypassed you and directly governed Demacia, holding you back and preventing you from becoming King."
Jarvan, however, was puzzled:
"But today she chose to co to the rescue, which is very strange. And previously, sending Garen and the Fearless Vanguard to Nockmur was her doing. I even once thought Tianna and the Soulless had joined forces!"
Chen twirled his finger and said to Jarvan:
"Actually, Tianna has always been loyal to Demacia. All of this was her plan, and today she did indeed join forces with the Soulless!"
Jarvan still didn't understand: "What do you an?"
So Chen continued to explain. When Tianna discovered that Jarvan was actually feigning foolishness, she imdiately investigated and found that Jarvan was not what she had thought—not a weak and incompetent monarch.
Tianna was actually a great loyal subject, completely loyal to Demacia. She had previously thought Jarvan lacked the ability to govern, which was why she gave power to the Soulless, and thus wanted to beco regent and govern Demacia herself.
But she suddenly discovered that Jarvan was actually very capable. After confirming this, she convened the Silver Council and brought up the matter of Nockmur, wanting to send Garen and the Fearless Vanguard, a group of Jarvan's close confidants, away from Demacia to Nockmur on the border.
She did this to lure the snake out of its hole. Sure enough, as soon as the Fearless Vanguard left, Soul Hunter Corps Commander Eldred chose to act!
The first thing he did was to capture Lux, using Lux as a mage cultivated by Jarvan as a pretext for war, thereby gaining the support of the people and even the ministers!
But unexpectedly, Chen and Powder intervened. An Ultimate Death Missile taught him a lesson!
However, Eldred had already mobilized the entire Soul Hunter Corps and was ready to attack the Royal City and seize power. If he didn't act now, there would never be such a good opportunity again.
Without Lux as a pretext for war, others would certainly not support him. Eldred could only bite the bullet and lead the Soulless to attack the Royal City.
Tianna had been hiding in the rear all this ti. Her goal was to use this opportunity to eradicate the Soulless's influence!
Jarvan was greatly surprised:
"No, there's sothing illogical. If she truly was on my side, why didn't she attack earlier, but instead let us resist for several hours before coming to our rescue!"
Chen also had a slight doubt about this point. If she was truly loyal, why did she delay her support for so long?
Just then, the conference room door was pushed open. The person who entered was Tianna. She had no intention of concealing her plan and directly explained:
"If you can't even hold out for a few hours, how can you protect Demacia's centuries-old foundation!"
