Legends of Runeterra

"Aww~!"

After taking a big bite of the cake, Lilia squinted her eyes happily.

"Woo~! Li...Li En, you eat too~!"

"No need, this is all prepared for you, Lilia, just eat it, I have prepared a lot more."

“No, Mother Tree said that we should learn to share the things we like.

Come, ah~!"

Lilia picked up a piece of cake with a fork and handed it to Li En's mouth.

A pair of dark blue eyes stared at him, and her little face was full of anticipation.

"Okay, thank you Lilia."

"Hehe~! You're welcome, Lee En~!"

Seeing Li En eat the cake she handed to him in one bite, Lilia showed a pure smile of joy.

Sudden.

"Om~!"

"Wow~!"

There was a clear wave behind her, which scared Lilia so much that she almost couldn't hold the cake steadily, and she hurriedly hid behind Li En.

As Li En watched, a dark red light rose from the lush and soft grass, and in the blink of an eye, the shadow of a lush tree formed in mid-air.

"Ahem! Lilia, it's me."

"Huh? Tree... Tree Mom! You're awake~!"

Lilia first poked her head out from behind Li En, and after confirming that it was the breath of Ms. Dream, she hurried out.

"Well, yes, but what happened to you just now? Am I... scary?"

"Hehe~! This... is not the case, Mother Tree... it's just... just..."

Just when Lilia realized something was wrong and racked her brains to come up with a suitable reason, Li En, who saw her distress, took the initiative to step forward.

"It's been a long time since we last met. Hello, Ms. Huanmeng."

"Haha~! Li En, this trip to the Dream Pool was all thanks to you. The success of the trip was beyond my expectation."

"This is what I should do. Thank you for the compliment, Ms. Dream."

Seeing Li En talking to the tree mother, even if Lilia was innocent, she took the initiative to quiet down and stood aside, eating cake quietly.

“Ms. Dream, as agreed, I have brought Sindra to Presidium.

Next, you and Mr. Ivern plan to...when will you meet with Syndra?"

"Ionia's preparations for this child were conceived not long ago, and this is why I came here."

"Om~!"

After Ms. Huanmeng finished speaking, a dark blue light lit up, and a Huanmeng flower fell from midair and hovered in front of Li En.

"Li En, you and Sindra can meet us later with the help of this dream flower."

"Ok, I see."

"Well, don't worry, Li En, Ionia loves all the creatures on this land."

"Of course, I believe you, Ms. Dream."

Staring at the shadow in the air, Li En smiled gently and sincerely.

"Haha~! Really... I finally understand why Lilia likes you so much."

"Woo~! Mother Tree, you..."

Lilia's shy voice sounded, and when Li En's eyes fell on her, Lilia lowered her head in embarrassment, a faint blush spreading from her face to her neck.

Four delicate little hooves trotted lightly on the grass restlessly.

"I'm sorry, Lilia, it's mom's fault. Li En, please forget what you just said, okay?"

"Ms. Huanmeng, if that's the case, then I'll go find Sindra first?"

"Yeah, okay, see you later."

"See you soon."

Li En nodded, then handed the half-remaining cake to Lilia.

Although she was extremely embarrassed and shy, Lilia silently stretched out her hands to catch it.

"See you later, Lilia."

"...Yes, I understand..."

"Om~!"

The space fluctuated slightly, and Li En disappeared into the spiritual realm.

“Rustle~!”

The shadow in the air condensed into a branch full of dream flowers, which stretched out towards Lilia. The soft flowers with a warm fragrance gently caressed Lilia's face.

"Lilia, my child, thank you for your hard work during this period."

"No...it's not hard at all, Mother Tree."

The familiar and warm fragrance quickly brought Lilia back from her shyness and embarrassment.

The socially anxious little deer raised his head, his dark gem-like eyes staring at the shadow in the air, a genuine smile on his face.

"Li En took good care of me, gave me a lot of delicious snacks, and introduced his lover to me as a friend..."

...

After returning to the material world, Li En did not hesitate too much and walked directly towards the meditation hall.

“Crack~Squeak~!”

The heavy door opened with a sound. Sindra, who had her back to the door, paused and quickly put down the cake in her hand.

At the same time, he swallowed the pastry in his mouth without chewing it.

"Woo~! Cough cough cough~!"

"Come on, drink some water."

A glass of water appeared in front of her, and Sindra quickly reached out to take it.

“Gurgle~Gurgle~!”

“Haaaa! I’m alive!”

"Sorry Sindra, did I scare you?"

"No...no, Li En."

Sindra said, looking behind Li En with her purple-black eyes.

After not seeing that annoying figure, her slightly flushed face finally relaxed.

"So what are you doing..."

"I...I thought that 'The Apocalypse' was coming as well, so..."

"Okay, don't worry, I've talked to her and the misunderstanding has been resolved."

As Li En spoke, he used a handkerchief to gently wipe the pastry crumbs off Sindra's face, feeling a surge of pity in his heart.

According to Sindra's life experience, her unpopular childhood and her asceticism as a monk.

There is no doubt that this is the first time for the other party to eat such exquisite pastries.

Looking at Li En's gentle eyes, Sindra gently hugged him and leaned in Li En's arms.

"I'm...I'm sorry, Li En. That guy did...did something so outrageous, but you, Li En, have to apologize on my behalf..."

“Since the incident was caused by us, it is only natural that we apologize.

As for what happened, Sindra, you don't have to worry about it anymore, it's fine with me."

"But...but..."

Just when Syndra was still struggling over whether to express her true thoughts.

"By the way, Sindra, didn't I say before that I came to Presidium because someone wanted to see you? Now they are here."

“They!?”

When Sindra heard the honorific in Li En's words, she raised her head in confusion.

"Yes, the Green God Ivern and Lady of Dreams."

"Li En, could the Green God you are talking about be..."

"Yes, that's the one you were thinking of."

Li En looked directly into Sindra's eyes.

"Don't worry, I will go with you. No matter what, no one can hurt you before I fall completely!"

"Well, I believe you."

With her arms around Li En's neck, Sindra's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Then let's go?"

"Okay, but how do we get there?"

"Of course I use this."

Li En raised his hand, and a dark pink flower quietly appeared in his palm.
