Legends of Runeterra

At the Bouville Manor, a carriage engraved with the Bouville family's name slowly stopped, and two slender and energetic figures walked down.

"Kahinna, thank you for accompanying me to church today."

"Why are you so polite, Lux? We are good friends, and I have nothing to do anyway."

"But... Didn't Uncle Barrett invite guests? Is it really okay if you're not here?"

"It's okay. I told my father that the guests won't leave so soon. It's just in time for me to come back now."

"Uh-huh!"

Lux smiled slightly and nodded gently, but she kept the kindness of her good friend in her heart.

The two girls walked into the manor, talking and laughing.

Just after turning a corner, two maids came out in a hurry.

"Bang~!"

The two of them felt a black screen before their eyes, and they each fell into a broad chest.

"Ah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Miss Kashina, Miss Lacus, are you okay?"

"It's okay, Pally, why are you two so anxious? What happened?"

"Uh, this..."

Faced with Kahina's question, the two maids looked at each other with some hesitation.

"What's wrong? Is there something I can't know?"

"No lady, it's the guest who came today..."

Martha put the matter in the simplest terms.

"Hmm? It's strange that Sister Sona would offer to take care of a man?"

Thinking of Sona's introverted attitude when she first came to the Bouvier family, Kashina was a little surprised for a moment.

"By the way, what was the guest's name?"

"Li En, Miss, his name is Li En!"

"What? Lee En? Are you sure!?"

Before Kashina could react, Lux on the side suddenly said in surprise.

"Yes... yes, Miss Lux, her name is indeed Li En!"

"Lacus, what's wrong with you?"

"No...it's okay..."

Facing the gazes of the three people, Lux suddenly remembered that Li En had mentioned before that he met and helped Barrett during the fire investigation.

'In that case, it's no surprise that he was invited to Bouville Manor.

That is...why would Sister Sona suddenly take the initiative to take care of Li En? She is obviously not that kind of person? '

Looking at Lacus who looked uncertain, Kashina turned to face the two maids.

"Martha, Pally, you guys go ahead and do your work. Lux and I will go check on the guests and tell mother later."

"Yes, miss!"

The two maids left in response.

"Let's go Lux!"

"what!?"

"This Li En is probably the person you've been talking about these days. Let's go and see what's going on!"

"Okay...Okay, thank you Kashina."

"Haha~! What are you thanking me for? I'm also very curious about what kind of guy is able to be taken care of by Sister Sona herself. Even I have never had such an experience!"

Led by Kahina, the two quickly headed towards the guest room the maid mentioned.

...

To be honest, the situation is a bit awkward now.

In order to save Barrett's face, Li En deliberately pretended to be drunk.

I thought I could just ask the maid to help me to the guest room to rest, but as luck would have it, I ran into Sona who was strolling around the manor.

Li En knew that Sona would most likely be adopted by the Bouvier family, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Originally, he planned to take some time to go to the headquarters of the Church of the Illuminators in Xiongdu to check the list of orphans.

Li En lay on the bed, letting three pairs of little hands work on changing his wet shirt.

After doing all this, the two maids stood up, and Pari looked at Sona.

"Ms. Sona, let's withdraw first."

Sona nodded to the two maids, who bowed respectfully and left the room, closing the door behind them.

"Click~!"

The door closed gently.

Even now, Sona could hardly believe that she had reunited with her savior in Demacia.

Sona stared at Li En's face with her lake-blue eyes, her mind full of thoughts.

Compared to half a year ago, Li En's face, which did not look like that of an ordinary person, now has a special temperament.

Sona, through her magical talent that allows her to sense the movement of things, vaguely sensed the wonderful rhythm emanating from Li En.

It was a beautiful piece of music that Sona had never heard before, enough to bring tears to her eyes.

Unconsciously, under Sona's desire, her magical talent began to fluctuate, exploring towards Li En, eager to hear the incredible music more clearly.

“Ding ding dong dong~!”

The ancient zither '叆华' appeared behind Sona at some point, and with no one plucking the strings, clear and pleasant sounds rang out.

Along with the sound of the piano, Sona heard clearer music.

The core of the star condenses, expands, contracts, and collapses under the great force that is enough to distort time and space... and finally, amid the praise of the stars, it forms a sun that symbolizes hope and brings light and heat to all things.

Due to her lack of relevant knowledge, the girl was unable to understand the fragments that flashed before her eyes, but the hymn of the stars was clearly transmitted into her mind.

"It's really... so wonderful... eh~!"

Before Sona could finish her sigh, along with the music, there came into her mind a pressure that was like being in the deep sea and could tear apart steel.

'No! What's going on? Stop it!'

Sona's pleading in her heart did not affect the continuous transmission of music at all, and the pressure on her soul continued to increase.

"Bang~!"

Sona, who was sitting on the bed, fell onto the bed and her head hit Li En's lower abdomen.

Less than three seconds passed from exploring more music to being unable to bear the pressure.

"Um!?"

Li En, who had been pretending to be drunk and trying to get away with the embarrassing situation, suddenly stood up.

"It's foolish to rashly agree with others!"

Sona seemed to be in so much pain that she couldn't even breathe normally.

Without saying a word, Li En raised his hand to support her head, then stood up and changed positions so that Sona was lying down and Li En was standing beside the bed.

With a wave of his left hand, he set up a barrier to prevent the spread of magic fluctuations, and gently placed his right hand on Sona's smooth forehead.

"Om~!"

A golden-red light lit up from the palm of her hand and gently entered Sona's magic circuit.

Li En carefully controlled the flow of energy, slowly calming the "resonance" caused by Sona and himself.

After dozens of seconds, as the 'resonance' disappeared, Sona's painful expression slowly dissipated, and her breathing gradually stabilized.

Looking at the beads of sweat on the girl's forehead due to pain, Li En turned aside, washed and wrung out the towel he had used to wipe his face.

When the warm towel was gently wiped on Sona's face, her eyes opened, and her lake-blue eyes looked blankly at Li En in front of her.

"You're awake, how are you feeling Sona, are you feeling better?"
