Legends of Runeterra

The Crownguard family is the top noble family in Demacia.

The cute and well-behaved Lux ​​is undoubtedly the little princess of the Crown Guard family.

Regardless of what she is like, the power she represents with this identity is enough to make even the top nobles feel awe.

As Lux, who caused the turmoil in the near future, if her first visit to the Demon Seeker Death Row was sudden, and facing the surname of "Crown Guard", the prison captain had to yield.

But the second time, the third time... and even later, under the guidance of Silas, Lux brought a large number of books and current affairs from the outside world.

Does a little prison captain really have such courage?

Allowing the little princess of the Crown Guard to have frequent contact with prisoners serving life sentences?

This is even the case when the leader of the demon hunters, Eldred, is Lux's uncle.

Li En expressed great doubt about this.

Sylas escapes, the mage riots, Jarvan III is assassinated...

All of this seems to be controlled by an invisible hand.

"Tiana, or Eldred, or both together?"

Whether it is these two people or there is a deeper mastermind behind the scenes.

Evelynn was placed next to Lux. With this legendary demon acting as a spy next to the girl at the center of the vortex, Li En had the opportunity to follow the clues and investigate.

...

In the next two days, Li En made Lux familiar with the role of the Love Elf Eve. After confirming that it could absorb excess magic power and prevent magic riots, he proposed to return to Xiongdu.

In this regard, Lux, who had solved her own problems and whose psychological pressure suddenly disappeared, readily agreed to Li En's request out of longing for her family.

So early this morning, Li En arranged the carriage and drove towards the city gate.

As soon as we left the city, we saw the Drakes, who had received the news yesterday, on the side of the road.

"Good day, Mr. Drake, Ms. Mehri."

"Good day, Lee En."

"I'm sorry, Li En, Xiao Na is suddenly feeling unwell. We apologize for not being able to come and see her off!"

"Mr. Drake, is Wayne okay?"

"It's nothing. I just read too late last night and accidentally caught a cold."

"Is that so? Then please tell Wayne to have a good rest."

"Ok, no problem."

Li En smiled and gave a simple bow to the two of them.

"Mr. Drake, Ms. Mehri, please stay."

"Well, Li En, may the Winged Guardian protect you."

"Ta da~! Ta da~!"

After watching the carriage drive out of sight, the couple looked at each other.

"Xiao Na is still too timid. So what if the opponent is from the Mianwei family? How can you know if you can succeed if you don't try hard?

Really, this personality is not like me at all!"

"Yes, yes, then you are very brave, Mr. Drake? You are a shy big boy~!"

Facing Mehri's teasing gaze, Drake's face turned red.

"Dear, didn't we agree not to talk about this?"

"Haha~! I wasn't going to mention it originally. Who asked that guy to shamelessly say that his daughter is not as good as himself?"

The couple quarreled with each other as they boarded the carriage and returned to the manor.

...

In the center of Xiongdu, there is a manor belonging to the Crown Guard family, which covers an area no less than that of the Dawn Fortress.

Outside the majestic and heavy gate, two tall men stood shoulder to shoulder.

One of the men had a sour face, while the other had an apologetic smile.

"Okay Galen, are you still angry?"

"Humph!"

"No, even though you have never met, trust me, Li En will be absolutely fine. He is strong and reliable. Lux will be safe if he brings her back!"

After hearing Jarvan say this for the third time, Garen, whose ears had already become calloused, finally turned his head impatiently.

"Is this why I'm angry?"

"Huh? What is that?"

"You clearly knew what the elders were planning this time, but you let a guy who's not even from Demacia go pick up Lux without saying a word. She's your sister, right? I..."

"Uh..."

Looking at Garen's ugly face, Jarvan sighed in his heart that he was so busy trying to get rid of the marriage that he forgot to take care of his brother Garen's emotions.

It is true that Li En and he could be said to have shared weal and woe, but Garen had never even met him. It was somewhat inappropriate to rashly ask Li En to pick up the sister whom Garen cared about the most.

"I'm sorry, Galen, it's my fault, I apologize!"

As Jarvan said this, he was about to salute Garen.

"Crack~!"

A pair of big hands supported Jarvan's arm.

"What are you doing, bowing to me at the gate? Do you want me to beat you up?"

"Sorry, sorry, I forgot for a moment! Then Garen, please don't be angry, okay?"

"Ah~! That's enough, that's it!"

"Hehe~! Good brother!"

Jarvan hugged Garen familiarly and patted his shoulder hard, to which Garen fought back without hesitation.

"Crackling~!"

"Hahaha~!"

Looking at each other's red faces, they both burst into laughter.

Then Garen looked quietly at the end of the straight road, with lingering worry in his heart.

Even with the relationship between Jarvan and him, what really made Garen unhappy was that he had long discovered what Lux had been hiding - the 'Demon'.

Out of love for his sister and not knowing how to help her, Garen has been cooperating with Lux's clumsy concealment.

"Silly Lacus, don't let that person find out!"

...

"Ta da~! Ta da~!"

The carriage escorted by cavalry slowly stopped at the gate of the Crown Guard Manor.

Before Garen and Jarvan could come forward, the car door was opened.

A black-haired man was the first to get off the carriage.

Then he raised his hand slightly, and a white and slender little hand stretched out from the carriage and rested in the man's hand.

Amid Garen's frown and Jarvan's upturned mouth, Lux, with her long golden hair, jumped off the carriage with full of energy and smiled brightly at Li En.

His eyes were fixed on the hands of Li En and Lux. An indescribable feeling surged in his heart, and Garen subconsciously quickened his pace.

"Laxana!"

A calm voice without any fluctuation sounded, and Lux ​​was so scared that she pulled her hand out of Li En's hand before she even turned her head.

"Ga...Garen, why are you here?"

Lux smiled awkwardly and glanced around, then saw Jarvan behind her.

"Ah~! And Brother Jiawen, long time no see~!"

"Long time no see, Lux!"

Jarvan had an undisguised look of happiness on his face, and patted Garen on the shoulder.

“Garen, this is Li En, my savior.

Li En, this is Galen, we have known each other since we were teenagers."

The two looked at each other silently.

Seeing this, Lux quietly pinched the hem of her skirt.
