Legends of Runeterra

"Mr. Giles, please allow me to ask, why does Miss Shivana always wear a cloak? If there is any difficulty, as the young master of the Rune Chamber of Commerce, I know a few skilled healers!"

Li En hesitated for a few seconds, but still looked at Giles sincerely and said.

"Oh, thank you for your kindness, Shyvana is very healthy, it's just...just..." Giles stopped speaking halfway, hesitating.

"Dad, it's okay!"

"But Hina..."

"Mr. Li En helped us, he is a good man! So..." the girl said, slowly taking off the hood of her cloak, "so I should thank him with my true face!"

The long dark purple hair was braided into a slightly loose braid, hanging down on Shyvana's chest, forming the look that was often described in anime in the previous life as "the lady's hairstyle is very dangerous."

Like her hair color, Shyvana's skin is also dark purple, with faint scale-like patterns on her neck and forehead.

Apart from the difference in skin color, Shyvana's face is very delicate. She has the softness of a girl and reveals the wild vitality. The combination of the two is particularly attractive.

The only discordant thing was the lingering sadness between the girl's brows.

"It's you, the Dragonblood Warrior - Shyvana! Then Giles is the unlucky guy who stole the dragon egg and was finally killed by Iva's spit!"

Li En thought to himself, and at the same time he guessed why the other party appeared here.

Giles stole Ivar's dragon egg by chance and successfully escaped to Piltover, but before he could find a buyer, the dragon egg began to hatch. (Note 1)

I don't know if it was because it was moved away from the dragon's nest, or because the last bright moon of autumn heralded the arrival of winter, but something changed. What came out of the shell was not a baby dragon, but a clearly human-shaped baby girl.

Giles found that he could not bear to abandon her, so he raised the baby girl as his own and named her "Syvana".

But her strange appearance and rapidly growing strength prevent Shivana from integrating into the lives of ordinary people. And there is a connection between Shivana and her missing daughter, which becomes stronger and stronger over time.

Giles wanted to find a place to hide with Shyvana, so he took his daughter and left Piltover.

"Wow~!"

As Shyvana took off her hood, the crowd around her exclaimed.

But this was not an exclamation of praise, but a voice mixed with disgust and fear.

After hearing the exclamations of people around her, Shivana regretted her impulsiveness.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. She had clearly verified countless times the reactions of ordinary people when they saw her, but she was just looking forward to it. She really wanted to know how this young man who gave her a different feeling would react when he saw her appearance.

The girl trembled at the exclamations of the crowd, but she still slowly raised her head and looked directly at Li En, while revealing her face completely to everyone.

"Wow~!"

The majestic vertical pupils were as bright as flames, causing the people around him to step back subconsciously. Safet and the other four held their weapons and protected Li En in front of them.

"Okay, Safet, thank you, but please go back!"

As Li En spoke, he walked out from the guards, faced Shyvana's vertical pupils, and slowly walked in front of her.

"Ms. Shivana, nice to meet you!"

"You...you're not afraid of me?"

Failing in eye contact for the first time, Shyvana lowered her head as if she wanted to bury herself in the two mountains below.

Shyvana did not see any fear or disgust in the other person's eyes, as if an adventurer had discovered a rare treasure. Li En's eyes were so scorching that the other person's skin began to feel hot when he was glanced at.

Shivana was a little overwhelmed, feeling both happy and flustered.

She was happy that the other party did not hate her appearance, but she was panicked because she had never encountered such a situation before. Ordinary people would run away immediately after seeing her appearance even if they did not attack.

"Why are you scared? Please forgive my rudeness, but Shivana, you are really beautiful!"

"You...you're lying. With my skin color, they all say I'm weird..."

The gentle voice praised her sincerely, and Shyvana suddenly felt that the missing part in her heart was filled, but her experiences over the years made her unable to believe what was happening now.

"So, Miss Shivana, may I, Li En Rune, have the honor of being your friend?"

As the words fell, a slender, neat, jeweled hand stretched out in front of Shyvana.

"I..."

When Shyvana was about to hold it, she hesitated for a moment, and then Li En took the initiative to hold it.

"We are friends now!"

"Well...friends!"

The sorrow faded away, and a smile blossomed on the girl's face, like a blooming violet flower.

Even molten iron could be stirred at will by hand, but at this moment, Shivana felt that the other person's hand was so warm, so warm that it was almost hot.

"Hahaha~! Congratulations, Hina, you've made a new friend!" Giles, who had been standing aside, laughed happily.

"Yeah~!"

The laughter woke Shyvana up, and a large blush immediately appeared on her dark purple cheeks. She quickly let go of Li En's hand, put on her hood and hid behind Giles.

"By the way, Mr. Giles, where is your destination this time?"

Looking at the extremely shy Shyvana, Li En changed the subject.

"If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Giles!"

"Okay, Uncle Giles, you can call me Li En too!"

"Okay Li En, as for a destination, I don't actually have one. I plan to take Shyvana on a long journey. Once we find a suitable place, we'll stay there for some time!"

"Well, I understand. Please accept this!" Li En took out a parchment scroll and said, "This is a merchant pass. With it, things like today will never happen again!"

"Here...Okay, thank you, Li En!" Giles hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted the parchment scroll.

"Nothing, I'm a businessman, and things like this are my regular supplies. Besides, Shyvana is my friend!"

Li En said this, taking out his pocket watch and checking the time.

"Is there something wrong, Li En?"

"Sorry Uncle Giles, I forgot to tell you that I'm heading to Shurima today, and the ship is about to depart!"

"Shurima~!"

Giles couldn't help but think of a female dragon who lost her dragon eggs, and scratched his beard uncomfortably.

"Yes, as you know, some of the old things there are very popular among the nobles! So... can I have a few words with Shyvana?"

"of course can!"

Without waiting for Giles to turn around and call for help, Shyvana walked past her father and came to Li En.

Everyone who saw this scene tactfully left space for the two of them.
