Legends of Runeterra

"Master Li En, Master Tiana has given instructions. You can go in alone."

"Well, thank you."

The maid bowed, took a few steps back, and turned away.

"Click~!"

When he opened the door, Li En saw Tiana, who maintained perfect aristocratic etiquette even though she was sitting alone on the soft sofa.

Hearing the noise, Tiana turned around and looked at Li En with her deep blue eyes.

"Good day, Marshal Tiana."

"Good day, Li En, come and sit down."

This calm tone made Li En slightly stunned.

For a moment, he was unsure what Tiana was up to, but thinking it couldn't be a bad thing, he walked over and sat down opposite her.

"Have a cup of tea, fresh Ionian tea from the Viscasia port."

"Wow~!"

The tea flows out from the spout of the pot, stirring in the cup, and a faint fragrance lingers in the air.

"Thank you."

Li En nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

“Fragrant but not overpowering, slightly bitter but sweet, good tea.”

"Haha~! I didn't expect you know how to appreciate tea?"

“A little.”

Afterwards, there was a period of silence. The two of them drank the tea in their cups silently, and no one spoke.

Finally, the tea in the Demacia standard teacup was finished and Li En put down the cup.

“Tsk~!”

A slight sound interrupted Tiana's thoughts. Seeing that Li En's teacup was empty, she subconsciously picked up the teapot.

"Wait, Marshal Tiana, tea is good, but too much is as bad as too little."

"Okay, I get it now."

Seeing Tiana put down the teapot, the atmosphere seemed to return to its previous state. Li En, who was still thinking about going back to continue getting along with Lux, spoke quickly.

"Lady Tiana, may I ask why you have come to see me?"

"I..."

Tiana pursed her rosy lips, raised her long, round legs, and subconsciously crossed them and changed their positions.

Tiana felt both guilty and slightly ashamed because she had targeted Li En in the past and now needed his help.

"Have you found any results from the investigation? If so, please let me know. Since I have agreed to this matter in front of Madam Ogersa and the other two, I will definitely follow up to the end!"

"Hoo~!"

Facing Li En's determined gaze, Tiana breathed a sigh of relief.

“I see, I was a little self-destructive.

That’s right, Forbairos’s preliminary investigation has been completed, and the news reached Xiongdu yesterday.”

"Oh? Did you get any clues?"

...

'This one? No, it's a little too tacky.

This one... looks good, but my aunt will definitely say something bad about me when she sees it!'

Lux picked and chose, and finally chose a set of clothes that Tiana absolutely could not find fault with.

"We have to hurry over, or my aunt might quarrel with Li En."

Pushing open the door, Lux trotted towards Tiana's courtyard.

After the magic power in her body was under control, Lux's physical fitness improved significantly.

He ran all the way out of the courtyard without even getting out of breath.

After tidying up her messy hair, Lux walked into the courtyard.

"Good day, Miss Laxana."

"Well, hello, I'm here to look for my aunt and Li En."

"I'm sorry Miss Laxana, Lady Tiana has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb us."

"Then go and report it. I'll wait here for a while."

"I'm sorry, I can't bother you."

"It means that except for them, no one else is allowed to disturb them, right?"

"I'm...I'm sorry Miss Laxana, it's like this."

Looking at the maid with an apologetic look on her face, Lux was silent for a while.

"Okay, then I'll go back and wait for Li En. Remember to tell him and come find me in the study after you're done."

"Yes, Miss Laxana!"

Nodding slightly, Lark turned around without any reluctance.

Under the gaze of the maid, he walked straight away and disappeared from her sight.

But to the maid's surprise, Lux did not return to the study, but instead came to the corner of the courtyard.

'I do this...Is it...

No, it's probably because the 'evil curse' on my aunt has made some progress. I'll just take a look...if there's nothing wrong, I'll leave right away!'

After preparing herself mentally, Lux looked up at the two-meter-high wall, her slender and straight legs slightly bent.

"Shua~!"

The girl easily jumped over the wall and landed on the ground silently.

This skill is naturally due to Li En's teaching.

With the corners of her mouth slightly raised, Lux quietly approached the reception room using the lush green plants in the courtyard.

Since Tiana asked everyone to go out, Lux's clumsy stealth went very smoothly.

...

"So, including Fosbiero, all the surrounding cities have not found any related anomalies in the past fifteen years?"

"Yes, if it weren't for the curse on me reminding me, I would have thought that guy was dead."

"Well... this is not surprising. After all, the other party is suspected to have the means to affect memory. It is really difficult for ordinary people to discover it."

Li En nodded slightly, then looked at Tiana.

"Speaking of memories, Lady Tiana, have you written to Madam Ogersa or even Mr. Pitt to verify it?"

"Well, I was indeed... 'devilized' when I was very young!"

Tiana said this with a complicated expression on her face.

Seeing this, Li En did not ask any more questions.

"Okay, in that case, we can slow down the large-scale investigation by manpower a bit."

"you mean..."

"If possible, let me see the 'curse marks' on your body."

"..."

After receiving Li En's clear and straightforward reply, Tiana suddenly fell silent.

"I'm sorry, I was a little abrupt. Let's forget about it. If the 'evil curse' strikes again, please send someone to tell me immediately.

Let’s stop here for today, Lady Tiana will…”

"and many more!"

Tiana stood up on her own initiative and then turned her back to Li En.

"Just like last time."

"Ok."

When the scar appeared in front of Li En again, the situation was much better than last time.

The purple and black proliferation spreading around the scar has quietly subsided a lot.

The new skin is the same as normal skin except that it is a little lighter in color.

Visually speaking, the entire scar has become much smaller.

"It seems that the 'Dream Bracelet' has played a good role. The wound has healed a lot."

"Um..."

Tiana lowered her head with a calm expression, allowing Li En to observe the scars.

But the slightly rising and falling waves revealed the owner's inner unrest.

...

'Just let me see what they are talking about!'

Lux leaned against the wall and looked furtively into the living room.

"Boom!"

A thunderclap exploded in Lux's mind, and her whole body froze in place.

"How...how could this happen!? This, this, this...this kind of thing is a tonic!!!"

The girl wanted to rush out and yell, but the majesty accumulated from Tiana over the years prevented her from taking a step.

"Hoo~!"

Taking a deep breath, the girl finally chose to leave in embarrassment.
