Legends of Runeterra

"Hoo~!"

As he drank glass after glass of red wine, Li En's eyes gradually became blurred.

"Did you know that Riven, an orphan who lived in the slums and might not see the sun every night, was suddenly adopted by the head of a Noxian noble family and was confirmed as the heir...

I felt as if I had fallen into a beautiful dream, and as soon as I woke up again, I would appear in that horrible slum again."

Li En turned his head slightly and looked at the white-haired woman beside him.

“Every night I would wake up in my sleep, but I didn’t dare to open my eyes right away until I was sure that I was lying on a big velvet bed.

So, I studied hard, noble etiquette, battlefield command, combat assassination...

Fortunately, I seem to have some talent, and I have completed all the courses arranged by the family perfectly. From then on, my status as the heir was completely stabilized. "

"Lord Li En..."

Riven looked at Li En, who was revealing his inner feelings, and had an indescribable feeling in her heart. She wanted to hug him gently, but she felt that he might not need it.

And she was just Li En's bodyguard, so this matter should be left to the two women today.

"Ah? Oh, right! I've talked so much about me, but I don't know why you came to see me tonight, Riven?"

"This... Actually... I'm here to apologize to you, sir!"

"apologize?"

Li En, who was drunk, tilted his head with a confused look on his face.

"Yes, sir. Today at Miss Catalina's place...I didn't stop Miss Cassiopeia. This was my dereliction of duty!"

"Well, you're talking about this!"

Li En looked suddenly enlightened.

"It's not a big deal, but with your skills, Riven, how did Cassiopeia get past you?

Don't talk about power. Although we haven't known each other for long, I know that you, Riven, are not that kind of person."

Facing Li En's curious gaze, Riven showed a bit of embarrassment on her face.

"Lord Li En, I..."

"If you want me to forgive you, you must say it~!"

Li En moved a little closer, and the faint aroma of wine filled Riven's nose.

Looking at the face so close to her, Riven felt that she seemed a little drunk at the moment.

Coupled with Li En's request, Riven pursed her lips and slowly began to tell the story.

"Master Li En, I... I don't know why, I just don't want to hear that noise... So I let Miss Cassiopeia in, thinking that I could interrupt..."

"Motion? What movement?"

At this moment, Riven's face had turned red.

"It's just...it's..."

"Is that so?"

"Hmm~!"

Riven widened her eyes and stared blankly at Li En in front of her.

His palm was on Li En's shoulder, but Riven's arm, which was able to wield the 'Blackstone Rune Blade', could not use any strength at this moment.

Riven didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment, but the voice in her heart told her that she just needed to indulge in this tenderness, even for a moment.

...

The next day, when the maid walked into the room and saw the extra person, her expression did not change at all and she quietly left the room.

"Click~!"

The door made a slight sound when it was closed, and Riven couldn't help but open her eyes. However, this time, she met a pair of gentle eyes.

"Good morning, Riven."

"Hmm~!"

Facing Li En's gaze, Riven covered her little face.

After that, even though Li En made a suggestion, at the strong request of a certain white-haired woman, she still maintained her identity and mode of getting along with her as a personal guard.

In this regard, Li En agreed to the other party, but within the Reyes family, the other party's treatment standards were directly raised to the corresponding level.

...

On the eastern coast of the Immortal Fortress.

Swain, wearing a glove on his left arm and with a dignified and somewhat fascinating temperament, was handling military affairs calmly.

"Lord Swain, an urgent message has arrived from the Immortal Bastion!"

"Well, present it."

After opening the dark red envelope and reading the contents, Swain's gloomy and majestic face showed some understanding.

"Sure enough, I can't sit still anymore~!"

Crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it into the brazier for burning.

"Hahn!"

"My subordinate is here!"

"According to the plan, we will set off for the Immortal Fortress early tomorrow morning!"

"Yes, Lord Swain!"

The soldier saluted respectfully and left the tent with a hint of scarlet light in his eyes.

That night, just as Swain was about to get more familiar with Ram's power, a subtle wave came.

"Om~!"

The scarlet light transformed into a ferocious giant claw and grabbed directly into the corner.

The light in the corner was slightly distorted, and then a figure shrouded in a black robe appeared, gracefully avoiding the giant scarlet claws.

The empty claw returned directly to Swain's left arm.

"Haha~! Good evening, what a warm welcome, Mr. Swain~!"

Looking at the familiar figure that he had spied countless times with the help of Ram, Swain sneered and secretly became extremely alert.

"It's you, Pale Lady!"

"Oh my! What a terrifying power! Even though we have never met, it can see through my identity in one go."

The Pale Lady gently stroked her chest, as if she was surprised that Swain had directly exposed her identity.

"Hehe~! Stop wasting time. What are you doing here? Do you want to kill me?"

"Of course not, Mr. Swain, perhaps you have misunderstood something. Lord Darkwill's purpose is all his personal idea and has nothing to do with me."

"Haha~! This one has nothing to do with you."

Listening to the Pale Lady's explanation, Swain actually smiled.

"Well, that's the truth. I came here this time to discuss cooperation with you!"

The moment Swain made his move, the Pale Lady clearly sensed the essence of the power that Swain wielded.

Then, an interesting idea formed in her mind.

"cooperate?"

"Yes, cooperate, if you want to make Noxus great again!"

...

"In that case, I wish us a happy cooperation."

"Haha~! Happy cooperation!"

Swain looked at the black-robed woman not far away, a smile on his face.

Watching the other party disappear, Swain used his demonic power to confirm again and again that the other party had left, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Two days later, Swain, the supreme commander of the Ionian conquest war, led his personal guards back to the Immortal Bastion.

But surprisingly, this general whom Darkwill once trusted the most did not receive the order to go to the palace in the first place.

For a moment, the seemingly calm Immortal Fortress was filled with undercurrents.

All the nobles were waiting, waiting for a carnival that would begin by dividing up everything belonging to the Swain family.
