Legends of Runeterra

When Li En appeared in front of her again, Catalina felt her heart tighten when she saw the blood on his body and she immediately stepped forward.

"Li En, are you okay? Where are you hurt?"

"I'm fine. This is all the enemy's blood! Here, look!"

Lee En lifted up her clothes, revealing the intact skin underneath.

Catalina withdrew her hand upon seeing this, but was grabbed by Li En halfway.

She was stunned, then she pulled her own hands and found that Li En was holding them tighter and tighter, so she gave up.

Li En looked at the other person's still delicate and fair face and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He used both hands to pull Catalina into his arms, and the girl immediately began to struggle.

"Hey, don't push your luck!"

Hugging the girl tightly, with his cheek against her soft red hair, Lee En whispered, "I'm sorry for making you worry! Also, I missed you so much!"

The boy's voice, filled with longing, made Catalina's struggling body suddenly freeze.

Then she gave up struggling and leaned lightly on Li En's chest, which was strong, flexible and warm. Katarina quietly sniffed the boy's scent mixed with blood and killing, her eyes slightly blurred.

When he came to his senses again, Li En's mouth was pressed against his own.

"Well!!"

Meeting those dark eyes, Catalina felt embarrassed and pushed Li En away.

"You're covered in blood. It's fine if you just hug me, but you also... and... humph!"

Facing Catalina's rosy face but disgusted expression, Li En looked her up and down in a deliberately teasing manner.

In order to find the opportunity, Katarina stayed up all week without sleep. In addition, she had been hiding in the rotten leaves before. To be honest, she was much more embarrassed than Li En who was covered in blood.

Catalina, who was following Li En's gaze, noticed this and her face suddenly turned red.

"asshole!"

After stepping on Li En's foot a little harder, Katarina turned and left.

"Wait for me, Katrina! Where are you going?"

"bath!"

Catalina said this and quickly rushed to the nearest town.

In order to avoid irritating her again, Li En chose to follow her not too far away.

The next afternoon, after a rest, Li En and Catalina set out on their journey home.

As they got closer to the Immortal Fortress, Katarina became a little depressed. Seeing this, Li En did not ask too many questions.

With her proud personality, she made such a big mistake in the first mission assigned by her father.

Even if someone was plotting against her and the enemy she faced was beyond her capabilities, she must have felt extremely uncomfortable at this moment.

-----------------

Return to the Immortal Bastion, retrieve the Runesteel Greatsword, and explain the situation to Du Kekao.

"Hmm...it is indeed the standard weapon of the Fearless Vanguard! Thank you for your hard work, Li En!" Du Kecao took a look and returned it to Li En, "This mission was considered an intelligence error, and it will not affect your mission success rate!"

"Thank...thank you, father!"

"Why thank me? You should thank Li En. If it weren't for him, you would have died on that plain! I don't know if you have remembered my teachings!"

"The greatest assassin does not crave recognition or glory, nor does he possess unnecessary emotions!"

Katerina lowered her head and spoke skillfully and seriously.

"Hmph! It's not enough to remember, you have to put it into practice!" Du Kecao said coldly, and then he never looked at this disappointing daughter again.

"Li En, Cassiopeia will be arriving at the Immortal Fortress in a few days, come to the dinner then! After you disappeared, Soleanna wrote to say that she fainted on the spot and was depressed after waking up!

I'm sure she will be very happy to see you this time!"

"Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely come and participate!"

Catalina, who was standing aside with her head lowered, listened to the conversation between the two, and the sadness on her face became more and more intense.

...

Leaving the study, Li En walked in front and suddenly found that Katarina was walking slower and slower, so he turned around and stood still to wait for her.

"Oh!"

"Ouch!"

Catalina bumped into Li En's chest without realizing it. When she looked up and saw that it was Li En, she straightened her hair and was about to leave.

"Are you okay? Did I do something wrong?"

Li En wanted to hold her hand, but Katarina dodged him.

"No...no, I'm just a little tired. I'm going to rest first!"

Seeing Catalina's somewhat gloomy face, Li En nodded and watched her leave.

"It seems that the failure of this mission has had a greater impact on her than I thought!"

Li En touched his chin, then his eyes lit up, and he hurried out and got on the carriage.

...

He came to the largest forging workshop in the city and was received by the master craftsman. After choosing the style he needed, he handed the rune steel sword to the other party for smelting and forging.

Everything was ready, and they just had to wait for the weapons to be forged and sent to the other party. Li En hummed a tune and returned to Reyes Manor in a carriage.

"Good day, Lady Hilda!"

The servant pushed open the door and Li En walked into the study and greeted him.

"Well, sit down, Li En. From your looks, the mission is going well!"

Hilda, who was drinking tea, raised her hand and motioned for Li En to sit next to her.

"Yes, although there were some twists and turns, it was successfully completed! I wonder if you have any instructions?"

"That's great! Commander Darkwill will hold an awarding ceremony in three days. As the heir of the Reyes family, you must attend!"

"A medal ceremony?"

Li En's heart moved, and he looked at Hilda with a bit of inquiry.

"Yes, many talents have emerged in the empire recently. They have all made remarkable achievements, including the famous Jericho Swain. That's why the commander-in-chief made this decision."

"Yes, sir, I understand!"

"Well, remember to try on the new dress later!"

Hilda reached out and touched Li En's head. The familiar touch made her feel satisfied.

"Oh, there's one more thing! It was supposed to be a surprise, but now things may have changed a bit!"

"Please tell me in detail, sir!"

"Before, you ran to save Katarina and missed the new teacher, and you didn't leave her a message. She is very angry now because you made a wasted trip!

Let me tell you that you'd better find a suitable time to apologize to her in person, otherwise, you won't be able to learn any magic knowledge at all!"

"Ah... I wonder who that teacher is?"

"Iris, Iris Kisira!"

Hilda said, looking at Lee En with a playful smile on her face.

"what!?"

Upon learning that it was that woman, Li En couldn't help but exclaim.

"Come on, Li En! The other party is a teacher arranged by that adult, and I can't help you!"

"Okay, sir! Don't worry, I will definitely get teacher Iris's forgiveness!"

Li En left the study and returned to his room, quietly analyzing the information he got from Hilda.

In recent years, the Empire has been expanding its army and constantly recalling outstanding generals, and this time the awarding ceremony was headed by Jericho Swain.

So, the first war between Noxus and Ionia should have taken place in these years.

And Iris, the fact that she could become his teacher must have been arranged by Leblanc.

In that case, even if she specializes in sacrifices, she certainly wouldn't dare do that to herself. The so-called anger is probably because she wants to have some fun.

It’s decided. I’ll go meet the Spider Queen tomorrow, deal with her quickly, and start learning magic knowledge.

Humph, little spider spirit, look at me, Li En, how can I easily control you!

Thinking that he has the protection of Enchantress, Li En is now full of confidence when facing Elise!
