Legends of Runeterra

It seemed like a coincidence, but also like it was inevitable. Not long after Li En left the house, raindrops began to fall from the sky.

The rain was not heavy, but it was misty, covering the Miyin City with a veil.

"Ta da~! Ta da~!"

The carriage moved briskly on the street.

In the medium-sized carriage, the slight shaking caused Li En and Wayne's shoulders to bump and rub against each other from time to time.

Feeling the warmth coming from Li En in the slightly cool weather, Wayne's toes in her boots curled up slightly, and a faint blush appeared on her fair cheeks.

Li En turned his head slightly and looked at the girl next to him.

Like before, her long black hair was tied into a thick braid on her chest. With the low-key but exquisite glasses, she exuded the temperament of a weak girl.

In order to suit the destination of this trip, the girl carefully changed into a long dress mainly in black, which was conservative and decent while outlining the girl's graceful figure.

"Thank you, Wayne!"

"Ok?"

Wei En came back to her senses and raised her head, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"I was able to find that cemetery, thanks to you!"

"No, no, I just happen to know this place!"

Wayne waved her hand shyly, but the dark circles under her eyes betrayed her.

"Li En, why did you choose to find a nearly abandoned cemetery? Sorry, if it's inconvenient..."

"Haha~! It's not inconvenient. Since you want to know..."

As the sound of horse hooves came from outside the window, Li En repeated the story of how he tricked Jarvan, causing the sentimental girl to burst into tears.

As the wheels turned, the carriage arrived at the westernmost side of Miyin City.

The terrain here is rugged and it is too desolate compared to other places in the city.

Due to the poor road conditions, the two had no choice but to walk.

But the good news is that the drizzle has stopped at this moment, leaving only dark clouds covering the sky.

"Li En, this is the old cemetery of Mishiyin City - 'Atas'. We can find it according to the code on the tombstone. I remember the number is 6097, right?"

"Well, this place is a bit too desolate. For safety reasons, let's go together!"

"Okay...ok!"

Wayne nodded slightly, and the two began to identify the vague markings on the tombstone among the weeds and rubble.

Thanks to the numbering, Li En and Wayne quickly determined the approximate area.

"Huh? How could this happen..."

Looking at the thorny weeds growing out of the cracks in the ground in front of her, Wayne looked down at her skirt, an embarrassment on her face.

"If you don't mind, I'll take you over there, okay?"

"Can...is it okay?"

Wayne looked at the thorns that were dozens of meters wide and asked hesitantly.

"Of course, come on!"

"Okay...okay..."

Seeing Li En confidently opening his arms, Wayne somehow forgot what her father had told her before she left the house and stretched out her arm to gently place it on Li En's shoulders.

"Yeah~!"

With a low cry, Li En picked up the girl.

"The distance is a bit far, please hold on tight!"

"Yes..."

Wayne put her other arm around Li En's neck and leaned her upper body into Li En's arms. Her slightly rapid and moist breathing, with a faint fragrance, hit Li En's neck.

"Take off~!"

"Ooohhhhhh~!"

The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Wayne let out a cute cry of surprise, and she hugged Li En's neck tightly with both hands.

"Huhuhu~!"

"Okay Wayne, we're coming."

"Woo~! Really...really?"

Her tense body relaxed slightly, and Wayne slowly raised her head and looked behind Li En.

In the distance was where the two were standing.

"Wow~! You're really here! Li En, you...you..."

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you later."

"May I!?"

"Of course, as long as you can hold on!"

"Wow! Still... let's just forget it..."

Wayne looked at her slender legs and finally gave up the idea.

"Okay, let's continue looking for the tombstone."

"OK, all right!"

Putting the girl's soft body down, the two began to identify the blurred number on the tombstone again.

"Found it, 6097!"

"Great, Wayne, you've been a great help!"

After confirming the number on the tombstone, Li En took out the broken necklace without hesitation.

Seeing this, Wayne stood silently by the side.

"My beloved daughter, the tomb of Antilicia Martini..."

Li En's face remained calm as he softly read the inscription on the tombstone.

The fearless pioneer who fled his homeland and the tombstone of the young woman may reflect a tragic love story, but with the end of their lives, the only record is this tombstone eroded by wind and rain.

"Only absolute power can protect the people I love..."

Repeating these words silently in his heart, Li En opened his eyes.

"Hoo~!"

Under Vayne's wide eyes, an invisible force broke through the earth and cracked the rocks, until a corner of the khaki-stained sarcophagus appeared underground.

“Ding-dong~!”

The necklace fell onto the sarcophagus, and the soil was pushed by an invisible force.

After a few breaths, there was nothing unusual on the ground except that the soil was a newer color.

"Li En, this is..."

"As you can see, it's magic!"

Li En smiled and admitted it frankly.

"This... Li En, you must not show it casually, Demacia has a search..."

"Demon Seeker, I know, but you're different, Vayne. You're someone I can trust, so it's okay!"

"Hmm~! Trust...trust or something..."

Facing Li En's sincere gaze, Wayne was stunned at first, then a faint blush appeared on her face.

"I understand, Li En, don't worry, I will never tell anyone!"

"Well, I believe you, let's go back!"

"Wait a minute, Lee En!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

“Well… since you have magic, Li En, can you help me take a look?

A month ago, I had nightmares almost every night, but every time I woke up, I couldn't remember the specific content.

But deep down in my heart, there is an indescribable panic, as if... it is something I absolutely cannot accept!

I didn’t dare tell my father and mother, for fear that they would worry…”

Wayne raised her little face and looked at Li En cautiously.

"So, the dark circles under your eyes weren't caused by helping me look up information."

"Of course I didn't. I stayed up all night to find it in the Secret Silver City Chronicles!"

Wayne's face puffed up, and then under Li En's smiling gaze, she immediately became flustered.

"Ah~! No... I mean... I just couldn't sleep..."

"Yeah, I see. Let me help you take a look!"

Li En raised his hand and gently stroked Wayne's head.

The girl slowly calmed down.

"Well...thank you..."

"Haha~! You're welcome."

Li En placed his hand on top of Wayne's head.

"Vayne, take a deep breath, close your eyes, and leave everything to me."

"Yes!"

"Hoo~!"

The golden-red flame rose up, starting from the head, and slowly enveloped the girl.

"Let me see what you have hidden..."

The magic power spreads and explores within the body.

Finally, in a hidden location, a touch of charming pink was revealed.

Carefully, he used up a little bit of his strength and slowly touched it.
