Legends of Runeterra

"Good evening Quinn."

"Good evening, Mr. Li En. I didn't peek this time..."

Quinn lowered his eyes and spoke with a slight stammer.

"Ok, I know.

But why are you still not resting so late? Is there something wrong?"

"me..."

Faced with Li En's questioning, Quinn was hesitant to say anything.

Looking at the blush creeping up to the tips of her ears, Li En already understood the girl's thoughts.

"Um...Master Li En, you told me last time... to think about it for a while..."

"Quinn, do you have an answer now?"

"Yeah! Yes, that's right!"

Facing Li En's gaze, Quinn nodded heavily.

"Master Li En, since then, including the time when you were missing, I have understood my true feelings!

I...I..."

A slender finger gently touched Quinn's lips, and Quinn stopped talking at a loss.

Then Li En gently lifted Quinn's little face and looked straight into those eyes that were filled with panic and tears.

"That's enough for you, Quinn. Let me do the rest."

Leaning forward slightly, the two men were face to face, only a fist apart, close enough to feel each other's breath.

"I like you Quinn, will you stay with me?"

"I...I would like to...mm~!"

Under the night sky, the two people's shadows merged together and did not separate for a long time.

...

"Haaa~!"

Walking to the door of the restaurant, Lux yawned slightly.

Lux was so excited about Li En's return that she didn't fall asleep until late last night.

Lux, with hazy eyes, walked into the restaurant casually.

"Lacus, as a member of the Crown Guard family, you must always maintain proper etiquette."

A calm but majestic voice sounded, and Lux's body moved faster than her consciousness, and she stood up instinctively.

"Aunt...Aunt! And Garen!?"

"Haha~! What's wrong with you kid? Come over here and sit down to eat."

"Okay father."

Lux nodded obediently, then walked to her seat gracefully and sat down according to aristocratic etiquette.

Seeing this, Tiana withdrew her gaze with satisfaction.

When all members arrived, the family began to enjoy breakfast.

After taking a few bites, curious Lux couldn't help but look at Garen, the only person of her generation.

"Brother Gai, don't you usually go to the Fearless Vanguard Camp early in the morning? How come you have time to stay for breakfast today?"

"Because I took a leave. Didn't you tell mother yesterday that Li En would come over? Father, aunt, and I all took a leave to welcome Li En's visit."

"Ah!? But...but...Li En and I had arranged a simple meeting. If everyone is suddenly here, will...?"

"Haha~! Don't worry, my dear daughter. This is a rare opportunity. I just want to meet this young man you all praised."

"Okay...Okay father."

Facing the smiling gaze of her father, Pete Crownguard, Lux nodded shyly, and then said nothing more, but ate breakfast in silence.

After breakfast, Lux bowed and left in a hurry on the pretext of changing clothes.

Ogasha looked at her husband and glared at him unhappily.

...

"Click~!"

The door opened and Li En slowly got out of the carriage.

"Li En, you're here!"

"Good day, Galen, long time no see."

Facing Garen who looked a little excited, Li En smiled and hugged him.

"Thank you, Li En. If it weren't for you, my aunt..."

"We are friends, aren't we? Don't be so polite."

Li En interrupted Garen by patting him on the shoulder.

"By the way, why didn't you go to the Fearless Vanguard today? Xiongdu must have a lot of things to do now, right?"

"Well, Lux said yesterday that you would come, so my father, aunt, and I all took time off."

"You mean Mr. Peter Crownguard?"

"Yes."

Seeing Li En's somewhat surprised expression, Galen immediately added.

“But don’t worry, Li En. Father has a very gentle personality. Although he probably knows about you and Lux... he won’t make things difficult for you.

I took a special leave just to meet you and thank you in person for your help to Lux and my aunt. "

"Okay, I understand. Let's go."

Led by Galen, the two came to the reception room.

"Li En has met Mr. Pete, Mrs. Ogersa, Tiana... Marshal."

"Hahaha~! I was running around outside Xiongdu before, and I only heard Ogasha mention you, Li En, through letters.

Now that I see him, he is indeed an extraordinary talent!"

Compared with Galen, Peter Crownguard is tall but not strong, and his slender and well-proportioned limbs are more in line with his identity as the Minister of Taxation.

"Mr. Pete, thank you for the compliment."

"Haha~! Come on, Li En, please take a seat."

Ogata and Lux ​​sat together and kindly invited Li En to sit down.

...

"Huh! It's finally out!"

Looking at Lux who wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead and let out a light breath, Li En smiled.

"Haha~! Obviously everyone here is your family, why do you look more tired than me, Lux?"

"Huh! It's precisely because I have to get along with them every day that I'm so nervous!

Li En, you can go back home after visiting friends today, but I have to stay at home.

Father, mother, they... they seem..."

"You know about us?"

Facing Li En's curious gaze, a blush appeared on Lux's face.

"Um..."

"So, Lacus, you are telling me these things because you want me to take you back to my manor?"

"Yeah~!"

Lux covered Li En's mouth with her little hand and looked around cautiously, fearing that someone would appear.

"Woooo~!"

"Then don't you ever say that again!"

"Woooo~!"

Seeing Li En blink, Lux let go of his hand.

"Phew! Don't worry, I've sensed the area around here. There's no one else but the two of us."

"That won't work either. At least... at least I can't say it in a place like this..."

"Well, let's go to your courtyard."

"Wait..."

Before Lux could finish her words, Li En took her hand and strode towards her.

...

"Miss, Lord Li En."

"Well, you go down."

"Yes, ma'am."

The maids lowered their eyes, ignoring the two people holding hands, and left quickly after bowing.

“Crack~!”

After closing the door gently, Lux imitated the technique she used that day and pushed Li En against the door with her backhand.

"You looked so shy outside, but you showed your true colors as soon as you walked in. I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, Lux!"

"Don't...don't say that, I'm just worried about you.

Although you said you were fine yesterday, I have to check it myself. Here, there are the medicines I prepared!"

Lux pursed his lips and Li En turned to look.

The dressing table was filled with all kinds of very expensive medicines.

Looking down at Lux, who was digging at his clothes with her little hands like a groundhog digging the ground, Li En hugged her with his backhand.

"Don't bother, I have a better way."

"Lee En you... ugh~!"
