I, Folyago, am the most devoted lover in Runeterra.

Today Anna is going to the church to help the priests wash and mend their clothes in exchange for payment.

They've been living like this all this time.

As a "wanted criminal," Jarvan IV naturally dared not show his face in public easily.

For some reason, Jarvan had a bad feeling today.

In the past month, Jarvan's injuries have fully healed, and his strength has returned to its peak.

In reality, he could have left at any time, but a lingering attachment in his heart kept him from setting off.

Jarvan IV watched the girl's departing figure, the words of dissuasion already on the tip of his tongue, but in the end he didn't say them.

After all, he is currently being kept at home by the girl and has no right to prevent her from going out to work.

In this land of 393, where enemies abound, he is no longer the prince who could command the winds and rains of Demacia at will.

"Go early and return early."

Jarvan IV's many words were ultimately reduced to a single, whispered admonition.

"Ah."

Anna turned and smiled, which, in Jarvan IV's eyes, was like a hundred flowers blooming in an instant.

Jarvan IV responded with a gentle smile, causing Anna to blush instantly.

Soon, the girl leaped out of the door like a lively little deer.

Jarvan IV had planned to spend the time doing some exercise indoors, as he had done in the previous days, to recover his health.

"what!!!!!"

But who would have thought that a scream outside would terrify Jarvan IV!

“Anna!!!”

King Jarvan IV was shocked. Without thinking, he grabbed the longsword from the bedside table, pushed open the door, and rushed out of the house.

This sword was brought out of prison by Jarvan IV when he escaped.

Then, Jarvan IV's expression slowly turned cold. He went outside and stopped his sprint.

It turned out that outside, imperial soldiers had already surrounded the area.

At first glance, it was densely packed, seemingly without end.

"Buzz!"

Before Jarvan could react, four purple light curtains had completely surrounded the area.

He turned his gaze and saw twelve Imperial Cabinet mages dressed in purple robes casting a spell similar to a barrier behind the soldiers.

In addition, Jarvan IV sensed at least ten other auras, no less powerful than his own, lurking in all directions.

I'm afraid that if he dares to make any rash move, his opponents will swarm him.

At the very front of the soldiers' ranks, a general dressed in black was gripping Anna's neck tightly with one hand.

Hass is nearly 1.9 meters tall, and under his violent grab, Anna's feet were already off the ground.

The poor girl's eyes were filled with fear, and her little face was flushed red.

Upon seeing this, Jarvan IV was instantly filled with rage.

His hand first clenched into a fist, then suddenly relaxed.

In such a situation, acting rashly would undoubtedly have directly harmed Anna.

The other party captured Anna precisely to make him hesitate to act against her.

The more he seemed to be holding back, the less likely the other party would do anything to Anna.

"Prince Jarvan".

"You've kept me searching for you for ages..."

Has's voice was chilling.

No one knows the pressure and criticism Haas has been under during this period.

Because of Jiawen's escape, he was at risk of having his title stripped and Xiang Shang's head taken away by the officials at any time.

To avoid being sent to the guillotine, he desperately searched for Jarvan's whereabouts, and finally...

At this moment, Haas has achieved his redemption.

One was a general of the empire, and the other was a prince of the kingdom.

From their respective perspectives, neither of them is wrong.

All I can say is that fate is fickle and destiny plays tricks on people.

...........

Hearing Hassen's cold voice and seeing the surrounding commotion, Jarvan IV knew that he was probably doomed.

According to Jarvan's original plan, if he were unfortunately captured again, he would simply commit suicide.

I would rather die than tarnish the glory of Demacia.

However, with Anna captured, he was unable to make a desperate attempt.

This would only harm Anna; he couldn't bear to watch this kind girl be killed before his eyes.

The only option left is to surrender.

King Jarvan IV looked at Anna's small face, which was in great pain due to difficulty breathing, and felt a pang of heartache.

"Release her, and I'll go with you!"

Jarvan IV no longer hesitated. He straightened his back, stared intently at Has, and his eyes held the last vestige of pride of a prince.

This is also the responsibility that a man should have.

Upon hearing this, a hint of pleasure flashed in Has's eyes.

He was right after all; capturing this girl was enough to make Jarvan IV hesitate to act rashly.

In this way, capturing Jarvan IV will be a sure thing.

Then, Haas immediately released his grip, which had been like an iron clamp.

Then, the girl's delicate body fell heavily to the ground, and her white dress was covered with dust.

“Cough cough cough…”

Anna coughed violently, gasping for breaths of fresh air.

"Anna!"

A pang of heartache flashed in Jarvan IV's eyes. He instinctively took two steps forward and reached out to touch the girl's body.

"stop!"

With just a slight movement from Jarvan IV, the city guards behind Hass immediately drew their bows and aimed their arrows at him.

Seeing this, Jarvan IV could only helplessly lower his hand.

Their gazes met in mid-air.

The lovers, whose lives were brought together by "fate," saw pain in each other's eyes at this moment.

Anna was already fully aware of Jarvan IV's true identity by this time.

She certainly understood what would happen to Jarvan IV if he fell into the hands of these people.

At this moment, Jarvan IV, for her sake, actually decided to give up the fight.

This caused Anna immense pain.

"How to do?"

Anna asked herself this question countless times, but the answer was always the same: nothing.

She was just an ordinary girl from a poor family.

He knows neither magic nor combat skills.

At present, she is naturally powerless to do anything.

At this moment, Anna only has one last option left, which is also the one she often uses.

Pray to "God".

If she offers her most sincere prayers to that person, she will surely find a solution.

Then, Anna began to pray silently in her heart to the god known as the Dark Lord.

Chapter 185, I'm willing to give anything for this.

Anna closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and silently recited in her heart.

Even though she had never received a response from God before, she still had hope for that deity at this moment.

He will definitely respond to her, he definitely will.
