Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 328 Lux's Humiliation

After Li En spoke, Lux finally stayed.

Sitting face to face, Lux lowered her head without saying a word.

"Lacus, how have you been these past few days? Has your magic power not gone out of control?"

The words, filled with undisguised concern, made the strange emotion in Lux's heart even stronger.

Bitter, stinging, dull...

Before in Mithril City, Lux knew that Vayne had a close relationship with Li En, but that was at least a series of processes to bring them closer.

But what’s going on today?

Even though it was their first meeting, Sona and Li En hugged each other.

That perfunctory reason could not explain the little actions of Sona and Li En before leaving.

However, Lux clearly realized that with her status at this moment, she had no reason to blame anything.

"What's wrong? Is he still out of control?!"

Li En said as he stood up and walked to Lux.

Before she could react, Li En's hands were interlocked with hers, and a warm power surged into her.

"No...I'm fine!"

As Lux spoke, she blocked the influx of Li En's magic power, and then gently broke free from his hand.

"Uh...that's good!"

"Li En, I have something else to do, so..."

"Haha~! Okay Lux, go ahead and get busy!"

The girl paused for a moment as she turned around, as if she had not expected Li En to agree so decisively. Then her face became even darker.

"Um...bye..."

"and many more!"

"Ok?"

"This is the next step of training. Xiong and I can't meet every day, so I have compiled it. Just follow the exercises above. Don't be lazy!"

Looking at the handwritten book handed to her, Lux could no longer suppress the sadness in her heart.

"Wow~!"

Lux threw herself into Li En's arms and burst into tears.

Li En did not interrupt the other party. After setting up a barrier to prevent the sound from attracting the maid, he gently hugged the girl and stroked her gently like a cat.

After a few minutes, Lux's crying gradually stopped.

"Do you feel better?"

"Um..."

Lux moved slightly, away from the place wet with her tears, and instead put her face to another place, quietly feeling Li En's warm and solid embrace, and the reassuring breath.

"Lacus...if you're willing...could you tell me what happened? Maybe I can help you."

"No... It's okay~! It's just that my mother didn't believe me and hired a 'Demon Exterminator' for me. Now that I've been staying in the Bouvier family for a few days, the time for 'Demon Exterminator' has long passed!"

Clearly aware of Li En's concern for her, Lux was no longer worried about Sona.

In order not to reveal the embarrassing reason, the girl told a little lie.

"Is that so? But you don't have to worry, Lux."

"Huh? Why?"

Lux raised her little face and looked at Li En with her slightly red and swollen eyes.

"Think about it, if Ms. Ogersa doesn't want you to slip away, can you still come to the Bouville family in a carriage?"

"Leen, you mean..."

"Well, Ms. Ogersa believed part of it, but out of caution, she probably wanted to observe it more!"

"It seems...it's really possible!"

Others may not know, but Lux is very clear that the Church of the Illuminators has been secretly providing shelter for the mages, and the same is true for the Buwell family, as an important supporter.

Lux skipped home to find Kashina, which can be said to be one of the safest places in Xiongdu. Even if her magic power really gets out of control, the Buwell family will not give her away.

"Mother, did you also plan for me to run away from home..."

She sighed silently in her heart, but Lux's mood improved.

After all, this means that my mother still believes what I say.

"Hehe~! Thank you, Li En. If you hadn't helped me analyze it, I would still be worried about when to go home!"

"Haha~! Look at you, your face is all bruised."

As Li En spoke, he took out a handkerchief and started wiping Lux.

When the tears were wiped away, a faint blush had already appeared on the girl's fair face.

Such an intimate gesture is no longer done even by one's own mother.

"It's almost time, let's go see Mr. Barrett!"

"Okay Lee En!"

"and many more!"

Just as Lux was about to turn around, Li En held her shoulders.

Under the girl's gaze, Li En looked straight at her face.

“Boom boom! Boom boom!”

In the quiet room, with two people alone, an inexplicable atmosphere began to linger, causing Lux's heartbeat to accelerate.

Lux clenched the corners of her clothes with both hands and slowly closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Om~!"

A warm feeling covered the eyes and gradually faded away after dozens of seconds.

"Okay, now you don't have to face them with a pair of red eyes, otherwise they will probably think that I bullied you!"

Opening her eyes and looking at Li En, Lux's blue eyes flashed with a hint of shame.

However, the shy girl had already used up all her courage when she just closed her eyes, and now she could not say anything.

"Oh, let's go."

Lux responded dryly and stepped on the accelerator to leave the room.

Li En, who was walking behind, raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

...

"Mother..."

Kashina, who had pulled Sona into the room, told Sona about the unusual movement of the ancient zither '叆华' in the room just now.

Listening to her daughter's story, Lestara gradually put away her smile and turned to look at Sona beside her.

"Sona, your zither sounded. Was it seen by Lux and Li En?"

Sona nodded slightly.

"Well... the thing about your magic..."

Sona smiled slightly and then communicated using sign language.

"You mean, Li En can hear you and he can do magic?"

Li En told Jarvan from the beginning that he knew magic, and considering the situation of the Bouvier family, he asked Sona to inform the Barrett family about this.

"If that's the case, then there won't be much of a problem, Kashina, you and Lux..."

"Don't worry, mother. Lux will never tell anyone!"

"Well, I believe you."

"Hahaha~! Even if Li En doesn't know magic, he won't tell anyone!"

A hearty laugh sounded, and the three turned to see Barrett sitting on the bed.

"Anyone who can drink to that extent with me is definitely not a bad person!"

"Honey, you're still drunk?"

"Father, you are talking nonsense again!"

"Nonsense, I'm sober! You don't understand at all, this is my experience after drinking countless bottles of wine!

Alas! It’s a pity that no one can inherit my unique skills! "

"As a girl, I don't want to inherit something like this, and neither does Sister Sona!"

"Humph! I won't teach you yet!"
