Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 20 Arrival at Uzeris

After crossing the Sun Gate and sailing west for a week, the ship finally arrived in Uzeris.

As soon as they arrived at the port, the scorching sun scorched the earth unhindered, and the hot wind blowing in their faces seemed to drain the moisture from Li En's body.

The butler came to greet them, and the carriage took them directly to the lord's mansion.

Along the way, Li En looked at the scenery outside the window. Unlike Noxus and Piltover, the buildings in Shurima were not tall. Most of them were three or four stories high and were built directly with rocks. There was basically a shed above the door to block the scorching sun.

The overall color of the house is earth yellow, and it is durable and simple.

Occasionally, some wealthier families design their roofs into pointed ones, inlaid with azure blue tiles, which are eye-catching.

The clothing worn by pedestrians is quite similar to that of the Middle East in the previous life, mainly made of cheap fabrics to minimize direct exposure of the skin to the sun.

-----------------

The carriage drove through the gate and stopped in a courtyard filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. Li En got off the car and felt that the previously scorching sun had become comfortable, and the air had become moist and pleasant.

"Master Li En, please follow me. Master Cassiopeia is waiting for you in the living room!"

"Okay, lead the way!"

After letting the soldiers rest and wait, Safet accompanied Li En to the reception room.

The three of them arrived at the door, and the maid turned to Safet and said respectfully, "Please stay, my lord. Lady Cassiopeia wishes to meet with Lord Li En alone!"

"Lord Li En!"

"It's okay, Sapphire. Thank you for waiting outside for a while!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Safit nodded and stepped back, watching Li En enter the reception room led by the maid.

"Ding! A target that can be attacked has been found!"

After entering the room, Li En saw an elegant figure with aristocratic textbook style, sitting upright on a luxurious table and chair, concentrating on the documents in his hands.

Unlike Katarina's red hair, the other person had wavy dark brown hair.

The girl looked up when she heard the noise. She had fair and tender skin, brown eyes as bright as gems, and a delicate face that was no less beautiful than her sister's. However, her aristocratic maturity and elegance made her look pure and sexy.

"Good day, Miss Cassiopeia!"

"Good day, Mr. Li En, I'm sorry I couldn't greet you in person. There have been too many family affairs recently, and I've only just started!"

Cassiopeia stood up and walked towards Li En, looking at him elegantly and unobtrusively, and in her heart she approved of the appearance of her nominal husband.

"You are too kind. The purpose of my trip is to ensure the stability of the Du Kecao family in Uzeris. I feel really ashamed that you have troubled me just to welcome me!"

"Haha! Thank you Mr. Li En for your understanding!"

Now, Cassiopeia was basically satisfied with her husband's wisdom. At least he was not the kind of arrogant nobleman who only thought about mating.

Don't doubt it, there is no shortage of people among the nobles who would do such a thing before a marriage is finalized. No matter how good her father's words are in the letters, she can only be sure after seeing it with her own eyes.

Although she is not unable to deal with that kind of stuff, who would refuse an excellent and reliable partner?

Thus, with Cassiopeia's deliberate accommodation, the atmosphere of their conversation became more harmonious.

"By the way, how is Madam Soleana doing? Is it convenient for me to go visit her?"

"No problem. Mother is very busy now. She goes to the garden every day to look at the flowers and plants. But it's getting late now. Why don't I arrange for someone to invite her over to enjoy dinner together?"

"Of course, it's my honor!"

Going out with Cassiopeia and arranging for Safet, who had been waiting outside the door, to rest, Li En followed her to the banquet hall.

The ten-meter-long table was filled with delicious food, mainly from Noxus and Shurima.

Not long after the two of them sat down, a slightly weak voice came from the door.

"Xia, our distinguished guest from the Immortal Fortress has arrived. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The two turned around and saw Soleana coming to the banquet hall with the help of her maid.

After seeing each other's appearance, Li En knew why the two sisters had such a big difference in hair color.

"Good evening, mother!"

Cassiopeia stood up and walked towards Soleana. The maid carefully made way for her and she reached out to hold her mother's arm.

Li En took a few steps behind and came to the other party, bowing and greeting: "Hello, Mrs. Soleana, the Reyes family sends you greetings, how are you?"

"You must be Li En! Thank you for your concern. I'm much better now!"

Soleana said with a smile, looking at Li En.

"My husband often praises you in his letters, saying that you are smart, brave, and beautiful. I thought he was just bragging. Now that we meet, I realize that he was understating you. You and my Xia are a perfect match made in heaven!"

"Mother~!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say any more. Li En, take a seat quickly! You must be exhausted from the sea voyage. Try these to see if they suit your taste. Or if you have any dishes you want to eat, tell me and I'll arrange for the chef to prepare them right away!"

"Thank you ma'am, these dishes are great, no need to bother!"

The three of them sat down and spent a harmonious and happy dinner time as if they were a family.

After the dinner, Li En thanked Lady Soleana again, said goodbye to Cassiopeia, and left the restaurant.

The mother and daughter watched Li En leave. The smiles on their faces gradually disappeared, and the arrogance of the nobility reappeared on their faces.

"So, my daughter, do you have a plan for this Lee En Reyes?"

"Of course, Mother, he will be my most obedient dog!"

"Really? I'm really looking forward to that day!"

-----------------

Led by the maid, Li En came to her room.

"System, open the strategy panel!"

"Ding, it's opened!"

-----------------

【Name】Cassiopeia

[Gender] Female

[Race] Human

[Rank] Mortal

【Talent】False Mask (Green)

[Bond] 2%

[Evaluation of the host] A fairly qualified partner. Perhaps after using him to gain Reyes’ power, I can keep him as my plaything!

-----------------

Li En scanned the other party's message and smiled faintly in his heart.

Unlike Catalina, Cassiopeia received the most typical and pure aristocratic education from her mother - politics, diplomacy, tact, and... without unnecessary sympathy.

In her eyes, everyone around her is a tool that can be used to achieve a goal and should be discarded after use.

And such a woman showed her extremely girlish side today, including enthusiasm, curiosity, shyness, and Soleana, the other party's mother and teacher, was also extremely enthusiastic.

Li En just wanted to have fun with this. After all, people would only resort to tricks when they don't have enough strength. Li En, who had already seen through the opponent's intentions, was just prepared to counter his moves.
