Legends of Runeterra

As the sky brightened, the sound of sweeping and sweeping could be heard from the palace belonging to the empire's ruler.

Swain, who had not slept all night, was in high spirits. His once brown eyes had now completely turned scarlet.

"Sir, the army has entered the city, and now all defenses of the Immortal Fortress have been successfully taken over!"

"Well, I see!"

In fact, before the guards reported it, Swain had already clearly seen the movements in the city, both openly and secretly, through Ram's "flock of crows".

"Take it. Deal with the families on the list one by one. I have already divided them into different levels."

"Yes, Lord Swain!"

The guard took the document respectfully, looked at Swain with his scarlet eyes with great fanaticism, and then left quickly.

After taking a look at Darkwill, who was lying on the ground, tied up and unconscious like a dead dog, Swain stood up and walked out.

"Ta! Tat! Tat!"

Standing at the door of the audience hall, Swain looked down at the entire capital city, with layers of buildings extending to the end of his sight.

Smelling the faint smell of blood and the scent of burning forge in the air, Swain's heart was slightly moved.

'From now on, Noxus will be great again!'

...

"Ta-ta-ta~!"

The sound of hurried footsteps woke Cassiopeia from her sleep.

For some reason, the crows that cried all night last night prevented Cassiopeia from getting a good rest at all.

Being disturbed again at this time, a faint anger rose in my heart.

"Click~!"

The door was pushed open without hesitation.

"Um!?"

Cassiopeia's dazed look disappeared, and her right hand pressed directly on the amulet under the pillow.

"Miss, something terrible has happened. The manor has been taken control by the soldiers!"

"Ah!? Are you serious?"

Looking at her personal maid, Cassiopeia had an expression of disbelief on her face.

"Miss, it's absolutely true, please go out and take a look!"

"I know, change for me!"

After putting on complicated aristocratic attire, Cassiopeia walked towards the meeting hall with a group of maids.

In the luxurious hall, the chief butler of the Du Kecao family was talking to a man in full armor.

Hearing footsteps, they both turned to look.

Seeing that it was Cassiopeia, the butler's frown relaxed slightly.

"Miss Cassiopeia, you are finally here!"

"Butler, what happened? Who is this officer?"

The fully armored man cast a cold gaze at Cassiopeia through the gap in his helmet.

"Are you Cassiopeia, the daughter of Du Kecao?"

"That's right. I wonder why this commander led his troops to siege the place? My father, Du Kecao, is a general of the empire!"

"Haha~! Imperial General? Maybe."

The fully armored commander waved his hand, and a soldier beside him handed over a scroll.

"Family Du Kecao, listen to my orders!"

"Meet the special envoy!"

Cassiopeia led the group in saluting.

Looking at the engraving on the back of the scroll, Cassiopeia was filled with doubt.

"Lord Swain has ordered that Du Kokao mobilized the Blood Elite to assassinate and prevent the army from entering the city without authorization. He is now stripped of his title of Imperial General and his seat in the Senate. All the property of the Du Kokao family will be counted and put into the treasury..."

"Om~!"

Cassiopeia felt a black screen before her eyes, and then the world was spinning.

"Miss! Miss, are you okay?"

The maids behind her immediately caught Cassiopeia and expressed their anxious concern.

The fully armored commander looked at the scene coldly, and stopped reading the contents of the scroll, and simply put the scroll away.

"It seems that she is unable to obey orders. Butler, please keep this order first. I have to start the mission!"

"That's...okay."

Facing the commander's cold gaze, the old butler had no choice but to accept the scroll obediently.

After all, he had tried to bribe the other party with money before, asking the commander to let a few people go out to inform the allies of the Du Kecao family.

As a result, the leader with the crow mark engraved on his armor refused without hesitation and warned the butler.

Cassiopeia fainted at this moment, and the butler did not dare to act rashly.

After handing over the scroll, the fully armored commander hurried away with his soldiers.

At the same time, a team of soldiers was left at the door of the meeting hall to guard everyone.

In the inner room of the meeting hall, the maids had just carefully placed Cassiopeia on the chair when she opened her eyes.

"Butler, what is going on? Father..."

"Miss, I don't know exactly what happened, but the master did not come home last night. And..."

"And what?"

Seeing that the butler was a little hesitant, Cassiopeia hurriedly urged him.

"According to the news brought back before the siege, Grand Commander Darkwill was captured by Lord Swain last night.

Now, Lord Swain's army has taken control of the entire capital!"

"what!?"

Cassiopeia blinked her big eyes, and a dazed expression appeared on her delicate and charming face.

"That means, father..."

The throne of the empire changed hands last night, Du Kecao did not return home all night, and the family was surrounded by soldiers early in the morning.

It was obvious that Du Kecao participated in the fight for the throne last night.

Moreover, he was the one who bet on the wrong horse!

Soleanna, the matriarch of the family, had left the family estate two weeks ago because of the mission of the secret society she joined.

Now, it is unknown whether the head of the family, Du Kecao, has been captured or killed, and the mistress Soleanna has disappeared. In addition, the order to confiscate the family property brought by the commander of the full armor, it can be said that the Du Kecao family is on the verge of collapse.

Thinking of this, Cassiopeia was gradually filled with despair.

"Miss..."

"By the way, where's Katarina? With such a big thing happening in the family, why didn't she come?"

"Uh... this... Miss Catalina..."

"What's up with her?"

"According to Miss Catalina's maid, she left the manor at dawn this morning!"

Cassiopeia's heart tightened and she quickly asked.

"Huh!? Did she leave alone? Or did her father take her away?"

"The maid only saw her!"

“Huh! Is that so… I understand!”

"Miss, we are now..."

"Just pass on my order and have the family members cooperate with the soldiers. Also, try to pass on the message to the family's major allies.

Remember, other allies can be put aside, the Reyes family must be notified first!"

"Understood, Lady Cassiopeia."

"Wait, I'd better write a letter to Brother Li En myself!"

The maid brought paper and pen, and Cassiopeia picked up the pen and soon wrote a letter asking for help.

"Take it, and make sure to deliver it to Brother Li En!"

"Yes, sir, don't worry!"

The old butler took the letter and turned to leave.

Cassiopeia sat in the main seat. Even though she was nervous inside, as the current leader of the Du Kecao family, she forced herself to maintain an elegant and confident state.

When the servants saw their young lady like this, the atmosphere of fear in the hall gradually subsided.
