Legends of Runeterra

"Lady Tiana, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave.

For safety reasons, do not take off the Dream Bracelet under any circumstances."

"Okay, I know."

"Well, farewell."

Watching Li En leave, Tiana placed her right hand on her left wrist and gently stroked the bracelet.

Feeling the scar no longer aching, Tiana's lips curled up slightly.

...

On the other side, Li En did not leave the Crown Guard Manor, but followed the breath he sensed not long ago and came to Lux's courtyard.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the yard, the maid came to greet me.

"Good day, Lord Li En!"

"Well, Lux is in the room."

"Uh... yes... yes, Miss Laxana... she said she doesn't want to see anyone now..."

"I accidentally made her angry just now. Let me go in and apologize to her."

"This... is it, Lord Li En, please come in."

As Lux's maid, Li En naturally knew what the relationship was between her and her lady.

The young couple had a quarrel, and if she was stupid enough to stop Li En from leaving, her young lady would really be angry.

The maid made way and bowed.

Li En walked to the door of Lux's boudoir.

Looking at the closed door, Li En raised his hand.

"Dong dong dong~!"

"..."

"Dong dong dong~!"

"..."

"Dong..."

"Who!"

When the third knock came, Lux's impatient voice came from inside the door.

"It's me, Li En."

"Plop~!"

There was a chaotic sound from inside the door.

"Click~!"

The door opened a tiny crack.

"I just finished talking to Lady Tiana and came back immediately."

"Oh, then Li... ahem~! Li En... what can I do for you?"

Lux coughed lightly a few times, her voice a little hoarse.

"Lux, are you okay? Your voice..."

"No...it's okay, I...I'm a little tired. Sorry Li En, let's talk another time."

"That gaze outside the window before was you peeking at me, Lux, right?"

The movement of the door closing paused, and Li En squeezed through and went straight into the room.

Without waiting for Lux to react, he turned around and pushed.

"Bang~!"

With a muffled sound, the door was closed.

Lux's slender and light body was also forced against the door by Li En, with two strong arms blocking both sides of her body, directly blocking her escape route.

"Woo~!"

The girl lowered her head and let out a shy cry.

"Don't be nervous, Lux, can you tell me...what did you see?"

"I...I...Li En, why would you...be with my aunt..."

Lux raised her head and stared at Li En with her red and swollen eyes.

"So, you think we are..."

"You...I...aren't you!?"

"I'm sorry. Although Lady Tiana told me not to tell anyone, I didn't tell you. That's my fault."

Li En put down his arms, stepped back half a step and stood still. Lux also relaxed from the posture of being pressed against the door.

Lux leaned forward slightly, looking at Li En with hopeful eyes.

"This... Li En, what do you mean by this?"

"Alas! The story begins with the last treatment..."

Li En recounted in detail what happened after he sent Lux and her daughter out of the living room.

Before they knew it, the two of them were sitting on the soft edge of the bed.

"So just now, you were also checking Aunt's wound?"

"Yes, that's true. It's just that the location of the scar, plus the angle from which you looked in through the window, caused your misunderstanding."

"Um~! Sorry...I'm sorry, Li En. I..."

"It's okay. This is actually my fault. Although the 'evil curse' on Lady Tiana can be suppressed, it is not so easy to deal with.

I don't want you to be too stressed, so I agreed to stay with Lady Tiana and keep the details secret from you for now."

Li En looked at Lux apologetically.

"I'm sorry Lux, I apologize to you..."

The slightly cool little hand with a faint fragrance was placed on Li En's mouth.

Lux's red and swollen eyes revealed an unconcealable guilt.

"I should be the one to say sorry. I peeped at your conversation and misunderstood you, Li En...

Li En...how about...you hit my palm like you taught me a lesson."

She put her white, soft hands together, palms facing up, in front of Li En, waiting quietly.

"It's okay, Lux, as long as the misunderstanding is resolved."

"But...but...Li En, you have been working hard for the Mianwei family, and I misunderstood you..."

"Do you feel guilty?"

"Um..."

Seeing Lux nod, Li En's mouth corners slightly raised, and then quickly returned to normal.

He slowly leaned towards Lux's ear and whispered a few words softly.

"..."

The hot and humid breath hit my ears, and I felt an itchy sensation as if small ants were crawling on them.

Lux's blue eyes widened and her face flushed.

"Ugh! I...I..."

"Uh... I'm sorry, Lux. I was a little presumptuous. Just pretend I never said anything."

Li En said this and was about to stand up.

"Crack~!"

The white little hand grasped Li En's wrist.

"I...I can do it!"

...

"Ha~!"

After drinking a full cup of tea, Lux breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the mirror not far away.

Her skin is fair and rosy, with the vitality unique to young girls.

The most peculiar thing is that the eyes that were red and swollen before have now returned to normal.

Even the faint dark circles under my eyes, which were caused by staying up late to read materials in the past few days, disappeared.

"Wow! It really disappeared and returned to normal!"

"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?

If you continue doing this for a long time, not only will these small flaws disappear, but your physical fitness will also improve!"

"Li... Li En, you... it's getting late, Li En, you should go back!"

Lux's face turned red. She pulled Li En up and pushed him towards the door.

"Bang~!"

Looking at the closed door, Li En smiled slightly.

"Dear Lux, I'm leaving now!"

"..."

"Honey..."

“I…I know!”

Nodding with satisfaction, Li En turned and left.

Inside the room, Lux leaned against the door and listened to the footsteps going away.

"Hoo~!"

The girl let out a sigh of relief, and slowly slid down to sit on the soft carpet in a 'duck sitting' posture.

"I...what's wrong with me...why is this happening..."

Covering her little face with her fair and tender hands, feeling the hot skin, Lux felt both guilty for violating aristocratic etiquette and excited about opening up a new world.

What she didn't notice was that a faint smile appeared on her little face.

...

"Leen!"

"Hey, Galen."

"It's almost time for dinner, why don't you stay and have dinner."

"No, I have something else to do. Next time, next time for sure!"

"Uh... okay then."

Looking at Li En who was leaving in a hurry, Garen scratched his chin and turned away.
