Legends of Runeterra

"Okay, Li En, there's no need to talk about this kind of thing anymore. The trouble I'm talking about is that kind of... that kind of..."

"Is it a problem that cannot be solved even with the status of the Crown Guard Family?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Facing Li En's intriguing gaze, Garen's expression paused.

Having pretended not to know about this for many years, Garen felt very complicated when facing Li En, who could be considered to be of the same generation as him. He both expected and did not want Li En to really know about this.

Li En spoke without much hesitation.

"So, you are referring to the matter of Lux's 'Dyed Demon'."

"You...she told you!?"

Garen looked at Li En, his face showing a mixture of relief and reluctance.

After all, as Lux's brother and they grew up together, she didn't tell herself, but instead told Li En, whom she had known for less than three months.

"Okay, don't be like that. She didn't tell me what happened to Lux. It was an accident."

"Accident? What happened?"

"Didn't Jarvan ask me to go to Silver City before..."

"What!? You knew it then?"

"Are you still listening?"

"Sorry, please continue!"

Facing Li En's question, Galen answered decisively and honestly, and Li En quickly and briefly explained what had happened.

"So, you're her magic teacher?"

"Da~!"

Li En snapped his fingers lightly, and a ray of golden-red flame-like energy emerged from the tip of his index finger.

"Yes, as you can see, I am also a mage."

"you..."

Watching Li En displaying magic openly, Garen didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Don't be so surprised. I used this power to bring Jarvan out of the arena. Besides, His Majesty the Third probably knows this as well.

Jarvan didn't tell you out of respect for me.

After observing you, I feel you can be trusted, so I told you."

"...Thank you. I swear in the name of the Crown Guard that I will never tell anyone!"

Garen's face became serious and he raised his right palm to swear.

"Well, I believe you."

Li En and Garen smiled at each other, and the misunderstandings of the past disappeared.

Li En is a mage like his sister Lux. Garen's tense nerves finally relaxed. He put down his hands and leaned back on the soft pillow, then picked up the water cup beside him.

"So, Lux is so close to you... so close to you, because she always needs to learn magic from you, so she sneaks out from time to time to meet you in the private cafe, right?"

"Oh, that's not entirely true. It's more because Lux and I are dating!"

“Puff~! Cough cough cough~!”

Li En dodged Garen's attack.

"You...what did you say? Dating!?"

"Yes, you heard that right."

"You...I...this..."

Looking at Li En's appearance and the strength he showed at the banquet and in the fight with him, Garen suddenly felt that the guy chosen by Lux was indeed a unique figure.

In addition, no matter what, Li En is willing to speak up for the Laurent family, who were his teachers, and his character is also excellent.

For a moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

"I...I understand. Lux...I'll leave her to you!"

“Well, I will, and no one can get past me and hurt her.

In addition, Lux is smart and kind, and she will eventually become an excellent person. "

"Hahaha~! Of course, she is Laxana Crownguard, my biological sister!"

Garen chuckled, a smile appearing on his resolute face.

"That's it. I'll go call Jarvan in so he doesn't have to worry outside the door."

"Wait a minute, Li En."

"Ok?"

"Didn't my mother invite you to the banquet the day before yesterday? I hope you can ignore your aunt and come to visit as soon as possible."

"I see. Then let's do it in two days."

"Well, mother likes blue and gold silk."

"OK, thanks!"

Li En nodded slightly and then opened the door.

Jarvan looked at the two people who hadn't changed at all, and his heart was relieved a little.

...

Since there were two carriages, Jarvan and Li En rode in the royal carriage, while Quinn rode in his own carriage.

"So, Li En, you even told Garen that you can do magic?"

Jiawen looked at Li En with a complicated look.

He clearly wanted to clear up the misunderstanding between the two, and although his goal was achieved, the effect was too good, making him feel left out.

"Only by being honest can you gain true trust, right, Jarvan?"

"Well, it is true."

"I can tell Garen because I have gained your trust, and he is not someone with ulterior motives.

Besides, you are the future heir of Demacia. With you as your protector, how can the demon hunters bypass you to catch me?"

"Hahaha~! Of course that's impossible. Don't worry, Li En. Even if Eldred comes personally, he can't catch you and put you in the Demon Hunter Prison!"

Jarvan smiled, moved a little closer to Li En, and lowered his voice.

"And during this period of time, I handled official documents for my father. I saw that my father actually intended to change the demon hunter system. For those mages who have not committed any crimes, they can live like ordinary citizens in the future."

"Oh? Is this something I can listen to?"

"Hehe~! Of course no problem!"

...

Demon seeker headquarters.

"Click~!"

The door was gently closed by the guard, and Eldred stood in front of the French window, staring quietly at the scenery outside the window.

During this period of time, ever since Jarvan returned to Demacia with that damn Noxian gladiator, the III's attitude towards mages has become increasingly wavering.

The support for the Demon Hunters is no longer as strong as before.

"Why? You have been attacked by mages more than once, but you still try to accommodate them? Isn't the foundation of Demacia based on the prohibition of magic?"

As the only one in the Forbyros incident, Eldred solved the "Nightmare Incident" together with Tiana Crownguard.

Relying on the power of the leader of the demon hunters and that "gift", he played both sides, allowing those restless beings to use mages to assassinate the Third Generation, while secretly leaking some information to the royal family.

Through these two assassinations, the status and importance of the Demon Hunters organization has risen dramatically.

As the leader, Eldred rose to become the top figure in Xiongdu at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Dong dong dong~!"

"grown ups!"

"Well, how's that arrangement going?"

"Your Excellency, the target has not returned since he escaped!"

"I understand. Go down, keep the layout, and be ready to meet the target at any time."

"Yes, my lord!"

After his men left, Eldred stared out the window.

"Since you lack courage, I will give you some more!"
