Legends of Runeterra

While being thrown into a dungeon for a year, he shouted out his innocence.

In his third year, a fierce rage burned in his chest.

In the sixth year, he began to beg the guards who brought him food.

In the tenth year, there was a silence as silent as death.

Now, fifteen years have passed.

From a teenager on the verge of adulthood to a middle-aged man in his thirties.

"Boom~!"

The cell door above the spiral staircase rang at a time that was not mealtime.

“Tick, tick, tick!”

Different from the heavy and dull footsteps of the guards, these crisp and rhythmic footsteps...seem to be...a slender woman! ?

The prisoner opened his eyes and stared quietly at the stairs.

"Hoo~!"

The flame on the torch flickered slightly as it moved forward.

In the firelight, a girl with long golden hair, blue eyes, and like a lost deer, came to this dungeon without sunlight.

'this...'

The prisoner stared blankly at this girl who could never be here.

At this moment, he saw his own 'glimmer of light'.

...

Located in the deepest dungeon of the prison, the temperature here is estimated to be as high as ten degrees higher than that outside.

However, even with the low temperature and good ventilation, there was still an unpleasant smell in the cell.

"Is this guy...really the 'Silas of Biangou Town'? Why does he look so dazed?"

But this malicious malice is so terrifying...'

With the help of the firelight, Lux slightly lowered her breathing rate and looked at the man whose limbs and neck were shackled by the magic-forbidden stone shackles.

His long black hair had become tangled in strands due to not being washed for a long time, and his chin was covered with messy beard.

The only strange thing was his naked, muscular upper body, which did not look like the body of a serious criminal who had been imprisoned for more than ten years.

'Is the treatment in prison so good? Or is he getting special treatment?'

This thought popped up in Lux's mind for no reason, but she immediately suppressed it.

“Clang, clang, clang!”

The sound of chains swinging was heard, and Silas stood up and walked straight to the door of the magic stone prison.

What was revealed in front of Lux was skin that had not seen the sun for many years, with an unhealthy paleness and traces of being whipped.

Through the gap in the railing, Silas's mouth curled up slightly.

"Hmm~! You're not a demon hunter, but you're able to come here. Who are you?"

"My name is Laxana Crownguard."

Lux hesitated for a moment, then thought that Lovegood already knew her identity, so she just gave her name.

"Crown Guard? Is that the 'Crown Guard' I'm thinking of?"

"Do you think there are other families called 'Crownguard' in Demacia?"

Lux was displeased by Silas' disrespect to the family's honor, so she made a sarcastic remark.

“Hahaha~! Sorry, sorry, this... Lord ‘Crown Guard’, I am Silas, and I offer you my most sincere apologies~!”

"Wow~!"

Silas, restrained by chains, bowed awkwardly.

Combined with the mocking look on his face, it didn't look like he was apologizing at all. To be more precise, he was mocking Lux.

"I have heard about your deeds. Apart from your evil deeds, you are also a rude person!"

"Haha~! Such elegant and classic aristocratic words. You are worthy of being able to come to the depths of the 'Black Prison' alone. You must have a high status among the 'Crown Guards', right?

Or even a direct descendant?"

Silas looked at Lux with cold eyes and continued speaking without waiting for her answer.

"But it's really funny, isn't it? You're outside, I'm inside... and we... are basically the same kind!"

“Tsk~!”

Lux opened her eyes slightly and took a step back unconsciously.

Then, without waiting for Silas to speak, the girl left quickly in a panic.

Silas quietly watched Lux ​​leave, with the corners of his mouth rising slightly.

With magic and a noble status, Silas quickly came up with a plan in his mind.

Now the seeds have been planted, just waiting for them to sprout quietly.

He believed that within a few days, either Laxana would come back, or a group of assassins would come in and hack him to death for knowing something he shouldn't know.

Silas, who has been imprisoned for fifteen years, is willing to gamble with his life.

Besides, he was not completely unsure.

Silas understood his own peculiarity. If his magic wasn't so special, how could he be sentenced to life imprisonment, and the food he received was so good that it was not like the treatment of a serious criminal at all.

"I will go out. The king and nobles of Demacia, wait for me..."

With a malicious gleam in his eyes, Silas, with shackles on his back, began to train as he had in the past.

...

In the Demacia manor, Lux was alone in her room.

'Eve, what on earth is going on? How could that Silas find out that I have awakened magic!? '

'I'm sorry, Lux, awakening magic is a miracle that cannot be replicated in everyone.

That Silas must have awakened some very strange magic!'

"Forget about the strange magic for now. Silas already knows that I can do magic. If he reports me to the guards..."

"Don't worry, Lux. Silas is just a life-long convict. There's no way the guards would believe him."

"But...but..."

"But to be on the safe side, let's discuss this with Master Li Enzhu..."

"Ah? This... I... If Li En knew that I secretly went to the "dark cell"... "

"So, let's just forget it?"

"No, I still need to discuss this with Li En!"

"Okay, Lacus, wait a moment. I will use the contract to ask Li En to come."

After Eve finished speaking, the voice fell silent.

A few minutes later.

"Okay, Lux, Li En will be here soon!"

"Thank you, Eve. I was too anxious earlier, so my tone was a little..."

"It's okay. I've been very tired today. I'm going to rest first."

"Yeah, thank you for your hard work~!"

Eve didn't reply, and Lux ​​knew she was going back to rest, so she hung up the phone as usual.

Having lost the only companion with whom she could chat, Lux sat on the bed in a daze.

Looking at the mirror not far away, Lux suddenly stood up and went to the dressing room inside the room.

...

"Vayne, I suddenly remembered that Lux's class needs to be arranged, and I have to go there now."

"Now... now?"

"Ok!"

"Ok. Please wait for a moment."

A few minutes later, Wayne picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.

"Okay, go ahead. Will you be back for dinner?"

"Of course, that's the Crown Guard family, I don't want to run into Galen."

"Well, come back soon~!"

Wayne looked at Li En with her watery eyes and deliberately lengthened her tone.

Li En secretly sighed in his heart that he was worthy of being the one Evelin liked, he was quiet and gentle with glasses, but the contrast was huge.

Smiling and nodding gently, Li En kissed her cheek, then stood up and left.
