Legends of Runeterra

'Evelyn, keep a close eye on Lux from now on. If you have any questions, report directly to me!'

"Okay, Master, but... can you give me a small reward?"

'It's not the right time now, let's do it another day.'

'another day?'

"Once you complete this mission, I will reward you handsomely."

"As you command, my dear master~!"

"Li En, Wei En, thank you for accompanying me today. Let's play together again next time~!"

"Well, thank you, too, Lux, for showing us around."

Looking at the two girls talking and feeling the obscure gaze coming from the corner, Li En smiled.

"See you next time Lux, Vayne and I will go back first."

"Yeah, see you next time!"

Watching the carriage drive out of the manor, Lux's smile faded, and her pretty face showed a barely perceptible sadness.

Then, Lux turned and walked inside.

"Lacus, you're back!"

"Galen? How did you..."

"I just came back from the training ground. How was it? Did you have fun today?"

Garen, with sweat on his face, looked at Lux with some concern.

“I’m…well, happy!

We went to many places together and bought a lot of snacks. This is what I brought for you."

Lux smiled sweetly and handed one of the small boxes in her hand to Garen.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. I'll be leaving now. I still have some snacks to give to mother and the others~!"

"OK, all right."

Looking at Lux's departing back, Garen, carrying a pink box, looked at her with a gradually deepening gaze.

Even though Lux disguised herself well, Garen, as a sibling and having been paying close attention, still caught a glimpse of the sadness that flashed across her face.

After carefully putting away the snack box, Garen walked towards the guard room and found the three people who had just returned.

"Lord Galen!"

"Mark, tell me everything about today's trip!"

...

After delivering the small gift, Lux returned to her own courtyard.

"Good afternoon, Miss Lux!"

As soon as I entered the door, a familiar voice sounded and a smile appeared on Lux's face.

"Good afternoon, Sister Isa, here are some snacks for you."

"Thank you Miss Lux!"

The maid took the gift respectfully with both hands and looked at Lux with a smile, who was still radiant and beautiful.

"There's still some time before dinner, Miss Lux, do you want to shower and change?"

"No, I'll go back to my room and rest for a while."

"Okay, Ms. Lux!"

Until Lux entered the room, the smile on the maid Isa's face gradually stiffened, as if it was carved on.

After standing quietly for a while, Isa walked away.

Inside the room, holding a platinum hairpin dotted with blue gems, Lux stroked it gently.

This is the gift Li En gave to herself today. He asked someone to make it for her. Wayne's is lavender and inlaid with rubies.

Although it was not a gift exclusively for her, Lux was still very happy to receive this jewel hairpin.

Just looking at the crystal clear sapphire on the hairpin, Lux's eyes gradually became absent-minded.

They wandered around Xiongdu together and met Galio together. The stone statue friend and Li En got along very well.

This should have been a very happy day.

However, all the joy shattered and disappeared like bubbles in the sun after encountering the arrest on the way back.

"There's really no difference between me and them, right..."

The last time we saw a capture, Lux was still hiding in the carriage the whole time.

This time, when they saw Li En being attacked, the anxious girls rushed off the carriage and ran to the scene.

The rising smoke, the disgusted looks, and the clanking magic-suppressing stone shackles were so real to the girl.

Indeed, the smoke and dust were caused by Li En, and the disgust in his eyes was directed at the 'Demon Infected' lying on the ground. The shaking shackles could never have anything to do with Lux and the little princess of the Crown Guard family.

But the premise of all this is that Lux is not "contaminated by evil".

Lux, who is very clear that she is a mage, has experienced the experiences of the people who have awakened magic and appeared in front of her once and twice.

Even though they are all people with awakened magic, she can live in a comfortable room and enjoy the care of her family and the enthusiasm of her friends.

In addition to the emotions of worry and fear, Lux also felt a deep sense of uneasiness and shame in her heart.

'Maybe... I should do something...'

Lux's eyes gradually became firm.

'I remember that day...the wizard mentioned...'Dark Prison'? '

The kind but immature girl had an impulsive idea in her mind.

"It's better not to tell Li En yet, in case he is implicated..."

After hesitating for a while, Lux stood up and left the room, walking towards the library.

In the classroom in Miyin City, Li En taught her that she must collect complete intelligence before taking action.

...

After dinner, Wayne trained in the Forbidden Magic Stone House to make up for today's lessons.

This was the girl's initiative request. Li En sat aside and looked through the books he had collected, such as Demacia's myths and folk songs.

“Swish! Swish! Swish!”

Wearing a tight black outfit that perfectly outlined her figure, Wayne quickly flashed around the house, using her talent for traveling between two worlds to make all kinds of incredible dodges.

The girl was just training hard, but her eyes were always on Li En.

Seeing that his attention was all on those thick books, her small, rosy mouth couldn't help but pout slightly.

Thinking back to the abnormalities she noticed during the day, Wayne gradually felt a sense of urgency.

"Shua~!"

"Ok?"

Feeling the breath coming from his neck, Li En finally raised his head from the book.

Turning his head to look at the little face so close to him, Li En smiled.

"Vayne, now that you're done with your training, sit down and rest."

"..."

"What's wrong? Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Wei En's expressionless face showed a hint of panic when Li En saw through her thoughts.

"Lee En..."

"Well, I'm here."

"How do you...and Lux ​​practice magic?"

Looking at the pretty blushing face, Li En's mouth corners slightly raised.

"I thought it was some big deal, but this is your problem!"

"This is a big deal! Hurry... tell me!"

Wayne looked like a kitten about to scratch someone.

"Okay, okay, I say, actually it's just crossing your fingers and holding hands."

"Crossed fingers? Holding hands?"

The girl's eyes widened slightly.

"We can't help it. Lux has been awakened for many years, and the accumulated magic power has put her on the verge of losing control... huh!?"

Li En looked at the sneak attack from Wayne, his dark eyes full of astonishment.

Wayne hugged Li En and continued her domineering and passionate actions.

...

Ten minutes later, Wayne leaned in Li En's arms as expected.

Feeling the heat from Li En's body, the shy girl wanted to get up, but was held back.

"Um...I...let's do that after we get married...okay?"

Facing the shy girl, Li En approached and whispered softly.

Weien's eyes slightly opened, her face flushed, and then she silently put her hair up.
