Legends of Runeterra

The Church of the Illuminators is a well-known charitable religious group in Demacia that helps the sick and the poor.

It is mainly located in Xiongdu, and basically every city has its branch.

After donating the gold coins anonymously, the two headed towards the manor under Wayne's guidance.

Since entering the city, Li En's appearance has attracted the attention of passers-by.

Under their gaze, Wayne, who had already gotten somewhat accustomed to Li En's embrace, twisted her body uneasily, and shame surged in her heart again.

Feeling Wayne's little movements, Li En sensed the uneasiness in the other party's heart.

"Wayne, if it's convenient, could you tell me why you went out of the city alone today?"

"Well... Actually, my mother's birthday is coming up soon. After getting this custom necklace today, I plan to go out of town and draw a picture for her because I want to give her a surprise, so..."

"I see!"

Li En nodded without dwelling on this topic for too long.

"By the way, your parents are..."

"My father's name is Drake Vayne, and my mother's name is Mehri Vayne. They once traveled to all the continents, and after I was born, they settled in Demacia."

"Traveled to all the continents? That's amazing. Does that mean they are adventurers?"

"I...I don't really know, but they do have a collection room with all kinds of weird things in it."

Hearing Li En's sincere praise, the happy Wayne said it out without any defense.

"Really? I always feel like they are just like the great adventurers in the stories, who retired peacefully after achieving success!"

"Li... Li En... If you're willing, I'll take you to see it later!"

"Thank you then."

"Hey~! It's okay~!"

The girl's face flushed slightly, and she obviously had her own little thoughts.

After chatting all the way, the two arrived outside an elegant manor.

“Crack! Crack!”

As soon as Li En arrived at the door, a carriage drove out.

The moment she saw the carriage, Wayne shrank into Li En's arms, trying to hide her figure.

"Shauna!?"

"Woo~!"

A familiar voice sounded, Wayne let out a cry and slowly raised his little head.

"Mom...Mom..."

"Shauna you..."

Looking at her daughter, who had always been very shy, now leaning in a man's arms, Mehri's dignified and beautiful face inevitably looked a little out of control.

"Mom, I got into some trouble outside the city, and Mr. Li En was kind enough to send me back!"

"Hello, Madam Mehri."

When a gentle greeting sounded, Mehri turned her gaze towards Li En.

"Haha~! I see, Mr. Li En, thank you for helping my little Xiaona!"

"It's just a small favor, ma'am, you don't have to worry about it."

As Li En spoke, he turned over and got off the horse, and at the same time helped Wei En off the horse.

Wayne lowered his head and came to Mehri's side.

"Mother..."

"Shauna, I'm glad you're okay."

Mehri spoke gently, stroking her daughter's head, then raised her head and looked at Li En.

"Mr. Li En, if you have time, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea?"

"Thank you ma'am!"

"Haha~! Please!"

...

More than an hour later, at the gate of the manor mansion.

"Li En, since you haven't found a place to stay yet, why don't you just stay in the manor? I'll have someone arrange a room for you right away."

"..."

Mehri extended the invitation with a smile, while Wayne stood quietly by the side, looking at him expectantly with timid eyes.

"Haha~! Sorry ma'am, I have some important matters to attend to in Secret Silver City. I will come to visit you when I am free."

"Since you still have something to do, Li En, I won't force you to stay."

Mehri nodded, and when she saw her daughter looking a little lost, she changed the subject immediately.

"When you find a place to stay, Li En, please send someone to let me know!"

"No problem, Madam Mehri!"

Li En stretched out his hand and shook hands with Mehri.

"Well Wayne, see you next time~!"

"Well...bye Lee En!"

Riding on the white horse brought by the servant, Li En waved his hand and left the manor.

"Interesting... I'm really lucky this time~!"

The dark right pupil flashed with a hint of red, and the corner of Li En's mouth rose slightly.

...

"Woo~!"

Sitting down on the sofa, Lux covered her face with her hands.

Originally thinking that she was acting bravely and upholding justice, she ended up being fooled by a cunning villain and almost misunderstood as a good person. Lux felt ashamed and guilty.

It took Lux a long time to calm down her surging emotions.

"Next time...I must apologize to him!"

Li En's face appeared in her mind, and Lux ​​made a secret decision in her heart.

"Dong dong dong~!"

"Miss, there's a gentleman outside who said he was from Xiongdu. This is the letter he handed in!"

"Xiongdu? Show it to me!"

Lux was shocked and hurriedly urged the maid.

When the maid handed over the envelope, a hint of doubt appeared on Lux's face.

"Is this... the emblem of the Light Shield family!?"

After only a few seconds of confusion, Lux opened the envelope and began to read.

"Hmm... So that's how it is~!"

After putting away the letter, Lux got up and went to the reception room.

“Da, da, da~!”

With graceful steps, Lux maintained her aristocratic demeanor and slowly walked into the reception room.

"Laxana Crownguard meets Mr. Li En. Sorry to have kept you waiting!"

After a dignified bow, Lux looked up at the guest from Xiongdu.

"Ah~! It's you!"

"Haha~! What a coincidence, we meet again, Miss Laxana."

This unexpected meeting caused Lux's emotions, which had finally calmed down, to surge violently again.

"Woo~! I...I..."

At this moment, a familiar, uncontrollable feeling came over me.

"Om~!"

"do not want!"

Lux cried out softly and covered her right hand with her left hand, trying to cover up the bright light.

"Ms. Laxana!"

"No, don't look at me, please!"

Lux's voice was filled with tears.

The hidden secret was seen by Li En from Xiongdu. At this moment, she felt panic and despair.

"Miss!"

The maid outside the door heard the noise and hurried in.

"She's fine, she just bumped into the table by accident"

Li En turned his body sideways to block the right hand that was emitting faint light for Lux.

"I...I'm fine, Sally, you go out first!"

"Miss..."

"Go!"

"Yes, miss!"

At Lux's insistence, the maid Sally finally left the living room.

Lux covered her right hand, lowered her head, said nothing, and exuded a faint despair.

Seeing this, Li En raised his right hand.

"Hoo~!"

A golden-red flame rose up.

"How... could you?!"
