Legends of Runeterra

"Bring me the list."

"Hey, hey, here, Li En, take a look for yourself, I'll introduce it to you!"

Jiawen picked up the list on the table and put it in Li En's hand.

"First, let's talk about the first one, Yuno Ester. He is the most famous 'Duel Master' in Demacia. He has a swift sword in his hand. He once fought against five duelists alone, and there was no scar on his body after the victory.

The second is Kazimierz Jak, who..."

"Who is this guy?"

Jiawen lowered his head and saw Li En's index finger pointing at the end of the list.

"This is... Sebastien Laurent."

"Thank you, but I can read."

"Uh, sorry, let me think about why I chose him in the first place..."

Jarvan stared at the name, rubbing his chin with his right hand.

Even though Li En knew it well, he still needed some preparation, so he just waited silently for him to recall.

"Oh right, 'Laurent Heart Eye Knife'!"

"'Mind's Eye Knife'? What is that?"

"In fact, I have never seen it either. However, Sebastian's ancestor relied on this amazing swordsmanship to convince King Jarvan II and all the nobles present, and was awarded the title of 'Viscount'. However..."

"It's just that the descendants are not up to the task, and no one can reproduce this skill, right?"

"That's right!"

"interesting..."

Li En looked at the list, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Seeing this, Jarvan on the side couldn't help but frown slightly.

"No, Li En, you don't want to choose Viscount Sebastian, do you?"

"Why, can't it?"

Li En looked at Jarvan strangely.

"With my strength, it doesn't matter who I choose. Besides, these people are just teaching me 'Duel Etiquette', right? It doesn't matter if you are strong or weak, as long as you know the etiquette."

"That's true!"

“I’ve decided, I’ll choose Laurent!

After we get familiar with each other, I will find a reason to observe the 'Laurent Heart Eye Knife'!"

"Leen, do you want to learn it?"

"Who knows? But being able to conquer Jarvan II and a group of nobles is definitely not a false reputation, right?"

...

"Click~!"

The heavy door was pushed open by two guards. The nobles who were talking in low voices suddenly fell silent and all stood up and looked towards the door.

"Your Highness the Prince!"

"Hahaha~! Sorry to have kept you waiting!"

"Your Highness is serious!"

"Your Highness is very busy, please take care of your health!"

A group of nobles gathered around, maintaining their composure while trying to show themselves in front of Jarvan as much as possible.

Because he was excluded, Sebastian was unable to enter the inner crowd and had to stand quietly on the periphery.

"Everyone, I asked you to come here today to teach my best friend, Li En, 'Duel Etiquette'!"

Jarvan's words silenced the crowd around him.

Before this, everyone thought that Jarvan was going to choose 'Dueler'.

After all, there is nothing new under the sun. A grand "duel ceremony" will be held at Jarvan IV's birthday party, and this news spread quickly among the aristocracy.

As Jarvan is the only son of three generations, it is impossible and absolutely impossible for anyone to dare to duel with him.

Then there is only one possibility left, that Prince Jarvan will choose one person as the duel representative and win the duel ceremony.

But now, Jarvan's meaning couldn't be more clear. The duel representative has been selected, and he just wants to find someone to teach his chosen one the "duel etiquette".

For a moment, almost all the nobles lost interest in the heart.

But because of Jarvan's face, everyone didn't know how to refuse the other party.

Li En, who was standing next to Jiawen, couldn't help but smile slightly as he watched this somewhat humorous scene.

"Why, do you have anything to say?"

Jarvan suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at everyone calmly.

"Uh... Your Highness, we..."

"Forget it, Jarvan. I don't like them anyway, so don't make things difficult for them."

When the nobles heard what Li En said, they subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

After feeling a little relieved, I felt annoyed at being looked down upon.

Glancing at everyone, Li En said, "Is Mr. Sebastian Laurent here?"

"Wow~!"

The crowd parted, and there was no longer any obstacle between Sebastian and Li En who were standing on the periphery.

After a slight pause, Sebastian walked up to Li En and Jarvan and bowed gracefully.

"Good day, Mr. Li En, Your Highness, the Laurent family greets you."

"Good day, Viscount Sebastian."

"Hello, Mr. Sebastian."

Li En looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was dressed meticulously and had a beard that looked very much like an old aristocrat.

"Mr. Sebastian, would you be willing to let me know the 'Duel Etiquette' during the next period of time?"

"Mr. Li En, before answering this question, may I ask you a question?"

"Yes, go ahead."

Sebastian looked directly at Li En with his cyan eyes.

"Excuse me, why did you choose me among all these people?"

"Well, it's very simple. It's to let me learn 'Duel Etiquette', but Jarvan wants to protect the other participants from getting hurt.

It doesn't matter to me who I choose, but I'm very interested in Laurent Heart Eye Knife, so I chose you."

Li En spread his hands and spoke his thoughts frankly.

"..."

Sebastian fell silent.

"If you don't want to..."

"I agreed!"

"Hmm? Are you sure? In a sense, I'm here for your family swordsmanship!"

"It's okay, if you can learn it!"

"Hahaha~! As expected of the head of the Laurent family, you are really magnanimous!"

Jarvan laughed and praised, then turned to look at the other nobles.

"Since Li En and Sebastian have reached an agreement, then the matter is settled. Thank you for all the trouble!"

"No, no, Your Highness, you are too polite!"

"It is an honor for us to be able to share your worries!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Li En and Viscount Sebastian will definitely achieve good results if they join forces!"

The nobles said all the nice things they wanted to say without asking for money, and finally bowed to Jarvan before saying goodbye and leaving.

After walking out of the living room door, everyone looked at each other and a hint of disdain appeared on their faces.

'Learning 'Duel Etiquette' is to protect the other participants.'

This was the first time that many nobles had seen such an arrogant person in their lives, but it was just right for him to be paired with Sebastian.

What else do you want to learn, 'Laurent's Heart Eye Knife'?

The duel masters all secretly made up their minds that since His Royal Highness the Prince would not choose them, the best in the duel arena, then don't blame them for making Li En suffer when the time comes.

What's more, I even had some thoughts about that superior position in my mind.
