Legends of Runeterra

“Crack~!”

The door opened and Mel walked into the room arm in arm with Jace.

"Thank you for your hard work, Jace. You can rest here tonight."

"Okay, thank you Mel!"

"Haha~! You're welcome. I hope you don't feel too much pressure. When you make your choice, the Midalda family and I will be your most steadfast allies!"

"Yes, I know."

Mel smiled and hugged Jace gently.

"I know how amazing your talent is. In the future of Piltover, Jayce, you will be the most dazzling new star!"

"Thanks, Mel!"

"Hehe~! Well then, goodnight Jace."

"Goodnight, Mel."

Watching Mel leave, Jace closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

After opening his eyes again, Jace's eyes were calm and firm.

"Just wait, one day, I will make everyone in the Twin Cities look up to me!"

...

“Click~click~click~!”

The crisp sound of horse hooves echoed in the quiet street. In the carriage, Caitlin sat opposite Li En. Her pretty face no longer had the formal aristocratic smile, but instead revealed a hint of jealousy.

"What's wrong, Caitlin? Are you a little tired? Do you want me to give you a massage?"

"Crack~!"

Caitlin gently slapped Lee En's hand away from her leg.

"Hmph~!"

"Well, as you saw tonight, I didn't pay any attention to those noble ladies."

"Huh~! Ms. Diana's beauty is the most beautiful in the whole place~!"

Compared to Catelyn, Diana, who is in her twenties, is at the age with the most dazzling charm.

Even though she knew that Li En didn't have that intention, Caitlin couldn't help but be a little angry with him when facing Li En who had been gone for a long time.

Li En also roughly realized the girl's thoughts, and he moved his body closer to her.

"It's just a polite expression. You are the most beautiful in my heart tonight, Caitlin."

"Lee En you... ugh~!"

Soon, Caitlin's little resentment disappeared without a trace in Li En's warm and sincere feelings.

"Huhuhu~!"

Leaning in Li En's arms, Caitlin raised her head slightly.

"Li En, how was your conversation with the family heads after the banquet tonight?"

"It's OK. They are very sincere and the harvest is good."

Li En pinched Caitlin's pretty face.

"There is also good news for you."

"Huh? What's the news?"

"As a token of their good faith, they offered me a seat on the Piltover Senate!

Of course, in order to maintain the stability and dignity of the parliament, this seat must be held by someone from Piltover. "

Listening to Li En's story and the good news he told her, Caitlin's heartbeat quickened for a moment.

"Could it be that Li En..."

"That's right, Caitlin. You don't need to wait for Aunt Cassandra to step down to take over the seat. I have decided that you will be the councillor."

"Ah? Me!? But..."

Caitlin suddenly sat up from Li En's arms, her little face full of shock and surprise.

"Don't worry, I haven't told anyone about this decision. You are the first person to know."

Li En stroked Caitlin's face with a gentle smile on his face.

“The status of a councillor does represent power and status, and can further expand the power of the Gilaman family, but the seat given to me this time is not that simple.

In addition to the power brought by the seat of parliament, the nobles of Piltover hope to use this to pull me into their activities of dividing the cake, and turn me from an "outsider" into an "insider".

And through the position of 'MP', a bridge was built to enable direct communication with me.

This is a position that will face many challenges and pressures. I have no intention of hiding it from you. Regarding this matter, I hope you will take it seriously, Caitlin..."

"I am willing!"

Before Li En finished speaking, Caitlin agreed without hesitation.

"Uh... well... why don't you go back and discuss it with Uncle Wayne and Aunt Cassandra?"

"No need, Li En, leave this seat to me!"

"But..."

Caitlin put her arms around Li En's neck and put her delicate face in front of Li En.

"Don't say so much to scare me. I know you don't want me to feel burdened."

"I..."

"Will you abandon me?"

"Of course it's impossible!"

"Haha~! That's it. With you standing behind me, which blind family in Piltover dares to provoke me?"

Holding Li En's increasingly attractive face, Caitlin took the initiative to move closer.

...

"Grandpa Jia Gu is indeed very smart. He not only calmed that person's anger, but also brought him into our camp!"

"That's right, Chief Jagu is highly respected and has foresight!"

"Middarda is worthy of being the head of all the families in Piltover. Chief Jagu has great strategies and tough methods. He is really great and tough!"

"Hahaha~! You are all too kind. I am just a little older. I still need your cooperation in the future!"

"Chief Jagu is right. Let's work together!"

With a smile on his face, Jia Gu watched the heads of the various families leave the secret room, and the smile on his face slowly faded.

Ten minutes later.

“Crack~!”

"Master Jagu!"

"Well, now that you're here Mel, how's it going over there Jace?"

"Your Excellency, Jace's knot has been untied. I'll send him to his room to rest."

"Yeah, I get it, Mel, what do you think of Jace?"

"Jace is a talented young man, but he also has many little thoughts. But Lord Jagu, don't worry, everything is under my control."

Facing Jagu's kind gaze, Mel's face remained calm.

"Haha~! Very good!"

Jagu smiled and nodded slightly, then picked up an envelope from the table beside him and handed it to Mel.

"this..."

"This is a letter from Noxus. As for who it is from, I don't think I need to say more."

Staring at the simple yet instantly recognizable dragon dog emblem on the envelope, Mel's breathing suddenly became unsteady.

"Take a good look. Noxus has undergone tremendous changes. Perhaps that lord has some news to tell you."

Putting the envelope on the table, Jagu walked past Meier and walked out the door.

“Crack~!”

The sound of the door closing woke Mel up, and she slowly walked to the table and picked up the envelope.

"Mother..."

...

"Lee En~!"

"Ok?"

"It's getting late, why don't you just go to my house and rest!"

"Ah? But Uncle Wayne and the others..."

"What are you thinking about? Go to the room reserved for you in the manor!"

"Oh, that's how it is."

Li En nodded with a little disappointment. Seeing this, Caitlin blushed, bit her teeth lightly, and whispered to Li En's ear.

"Don't lock the windows~!"

"Um!?"

...

Tonight, Jayce confirmed that Li En did not bear a grudge against him, the nobles of Piltover had obtained Li En's forgiveness and cooperation, and Caitlyn was about to become an official member of the Piltover Parliament.

There is a better tomorrow for everyone.

Only Li En devoted a lot of time and energy.
