Legends of Runeterra

"Hey~!"

The sword light gradually faded, and the sword sound slowly calmed down.

Li En and Fiona once again appeared on the duel field back to back.

The previously broken and messy ground had now lowered more than ten centimeters. The disappeared part was naturally crushed into powder by the sword light.

“Plop! Plop!”

Bodies fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"..."

In the huge banquet hall, you could hear a pin drop.

"Hoo~Hoo~!"

A noble who was so shocked that he forgot to breathe, broke the silence of the banquet hall with his violent gasps.

"Wow~!"

Some were talking, but most were just breathing heavily, and the whole banquet hall was suddenly filled with noise.

"Vayne, Kashina, Sister Sona, you...you saw it, Li En and Fiona...it's really...incredible!"

Lux, who was clinging on the railing, had a flushed face, bright blue eyes, and spoke haltingly and incoherently.

"It's hard to imagine that there is such an incredibly gorgeous sword technique!"

"I told you, Li En will be fine!"

Kashina and Vayne also spoke excitedly, while Sona nodded slightly, her eyes looking at Li En below.

"Not only did he speak up for Miss Fiona, but he also let her show her strength. Li En is such a gentle person~!"

Sona, who had seen Li En crush the Noxian army, naturally knew the opponent's strength.

The smart Sona naturally saw Li En's intention.

Looking at Fiona who had turned around and stood with Li En, Sona admired Li En's gentleness in her heart, but at the same time, she inexplicably felt a little envious of Fiona.

Letting the guards carry away the unconscious people, Li En held Fiona's hand and looked towards the main seat in the banquet hall.

The majestic and strong figure slowly stood up at this moment.

The originally noisy living room suddenly became quiet at this moment.

"Hahaha~! Li En, Fiona, you did a great job!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty the Third!"

“This is not a compliment, it’s a statement of fact!

The two of you fought against fifty duelists and defeated them all without harming their lives. This is enough to prove your strength!"

The Third said, glancing at Sebastian who was standing at the side of the duel.

"And considering your age, you not only used the 'Laurent Heart Eye Knife' which has not appeared for a long time, but also deduced a more powerful move!

Looking at Demacia, no one has been able to compare with you in this respect for a long time.

So don’t be modest, just accept this compliment with peace of mind! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty the Third!"

Li En and the other man were still holding hands, and they bowed in a slightly strange posture.

The Third didn't care, smiled and nodded, then looked at the nobles present.

"Everyone! As agreed, Li En and Fiona completed the challenge.

I hereby absolve Fiona Laurent of all offenses!"

"Your Majesty is wise~!"

The nobles stood up and saluted, praising loudly.

At this moment, no one dared to say anything more. The reason was not only the majesty of the Third Generation, but also the strength shown by Li En and Fiona.

Sebastian, standing at the edge of the duel arena, tried his best to maintain the expression on his face, but his tightly clenched hands already exposed his current mood.

“Also, I have one more announcement to make.

Since Li En and Fiona defeated all the duelists, the winner of this duel banquet will be decided soon."

"His Majesty!"

"Marshal Tiana, please be patient!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

This scene happening on the high platform naturally caught the eyes of the nobles.

Even Marshal Tiana's proposal was blocked by the Third World, so they naturally wouldn't be so blind as to rush into it.

"Leen, Fiona, what are your plans? Do you want to have another duel?"

"Your Majesty, the champion is naturally Li En. My strength is far behind Li En's, and I was able to avoid punishment this time because of Li En's help!"

Almost as soon as Sanshi finished speaking, Fiona's decisive voice rang out.

"Fiona..."

"Li En, you don't need to say more, you are the well-deserved champion!"

Fiona forced out a bit of strength from her body that was on the verge of breaking point, turned her head with difficulty, and looked at the other person seriously.

Previously, when performing the "Blade Waltz", if Li En had not performed it simultaneously, and at the same time led Fiona in an incredible way in the process.

Most of the time she would fail halfway through her move and would get injured due to the disorder of her strength.

"Hahaha~! Yes, Fiona Laurent, your character is as precious as your swordsmanship.

Sebastian, you taught me well!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"

Sebastian bowed, and when he stood up, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"In that case, Li En, the winning prize of this duel banquet will naturally be yours!"

"Your Majesty, the duel is a gift I specifically ask you for so that you can forgive Fiona.

My goal has been achieved, I really cannot accept this prize anymore!"

"Hahaha~! But Li En, you didn't offend me, did you?

Take it, kid. Your strength and character are enough to bear this prize!"

"I..."

"Li En, excessive modesty is actually arrogance!"

"Yes, Li En understands, thank you Your Majesty!"

Feeling the gaze of Jarvan, and considering that Sanshi had said so much, Li En had no choice but to bow and thank him.

He was prepared to lose the prize when he stood up to speak up for Fiona.

Who knew that after going around in circles, it would still fall on my head. I can only say that there are people above me who are so willful.

Of course, this is also inseparable from Li En's performance. The two of them defeated fifty duelists, which is truly an unprecedented record.

"Hahaha~! Congratulations, Your Majesty! On this auspicious day, you have gained two swordsmanship geniuses!"

At the end of the first tier of seats, Eldred, wearing a golden mask on his left side, shouted congratulations.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty~!"

All the nobles stood up to congratulate.

"Hahaha~!"

Facing Eldred who stood up, Tiana, who was closest to the III, sat firmly in her seat without even turning her head to look at him.

There is no disgust, let alone liking, and the beautiful face is as calm as water.

If I were to use one word to describe this attitude, it would be - ignore!

Amid the scattered figures, Eldred, who pretended to turn his head unintentionally, saw this scene, with a smile still on his face, as if he was truly happy for the Third Generation to discover talents.

But the nails of the clenched hands in the robe had already pierced into the palms.

Jarvan had a smile on his face, but his eyes kept glancing at the Third Life standing beside him.

Others may not know, but as a son, doesn’t he know clearly? When has he been so kind to others in his third life?

Even if Li En saved him, he had extraordinary strength, outstanding looks, and the same identity and background as his uncle.

That wouldn't mean upgrading the prize for a duel banquet from 'Viscount' to 'Hereditary Viscount', right?

Something is wrong. Nine out of ten things are wrong!

The conjecture that he had suppressed once again surfaced in his mind.

...

Without staying too long in the noisy banquet hall, Li En took Fiona's hand and walked towards the lounge.
