Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 725: True and False, a Confrontation

“Hmm~! Haah~!”

Hilda yawned softly and slowly opened her eyes.

"Honey, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

A gentle voice sounded, and Hilda, who was nestled in Li En's arms, raised her head slightly and looked.

"Thank you, dear, this is the best sleep I've had in a long time."

"Well, you're welcome dear."

"Well, dear, it's time for me to take care of government affairs."

Smiling, Hilda leaned in and kissed Li En gently, then stood up and slowly walked out the door.

"Come back early in the evening, and I will personally cook a few dishes of your favorites."

"Well, thank you dear."

Hilda blinked her blue eyes at Li En and left the study.

"Click~!"

The door closed, and the smile on Hilda's face slowly faded, and the look in her eyes gradually deepened.

Everything went as she expected. Li En, a man she had personally trained and whose conduct was a model of Noxian morality, chose to face it with her without hesitation even after learning of the horror of Mordekaiser.

"All I have to do is watch them fight...but..."

Hilda, or Leblanc, walked along the luxurious corridor with her right hand gently placed on her heart.

"But why... do I feel so unhappy..."

Perhaps from the first time she met Lee En, LeBlanc had been constantly using words that were a mixture of truth and illusion to urge him to take the initiative to confront Mordekaiser.

But what she said about sleeping in Li En's arms was the most peaceful sleep she had ever had was the truth that came from her heart.

Thinking about the "peace of mind" that she had finally experienced, and how it would most likely be destroyed at the hands of Modkaiser, Leblanc's mood grew worse.

Her eyes flickered for a moment, and the walking Leblanc quietly disappeared, replaced by a mirror image named Hilda.

...

"Click~!"

The door closed, Li En withdrew his gaze, slowly sat up, picked up the materials piled on the table and continued to study.

Although he seemed to be looking up information seriously, his mind was actually mostly focused on his own body.

'Looking' at the extremely secret and subtle magic that remained in the body, Li En smiled softly in his heart.

"Sure enough, how could Leblanc, who has controlled the Black Rose for nearly a thousand years, be so foolish as to open her heart..."

Although in the background Leblanc gave nicknames like "Alliance Idea King" and "Foolish Beauty", Lux was called "Nation-Destroying Witch", but that was just a joke.

If you really come to Runeterra to try, among the options available, how many people are really willing to face LeBlanc head-on?

What he has today is all thanks to Li En’s own sweat and hard work.

Back to magic, the effect of this magic is very simple but at the same time very domineering. It is that on the basis of trust, it subtly makes the recipient trust the caster more and more.

Of course, with Li En's current strength, the magic cast by Leblanc could not affect him at all.

On the contrary, because Li En's own resistance was too strong, Li En had to take the initiative to release his defense at the beginning, otherwise Leblanc would not be able to use his skills on him.

The fact that this magic can now remain in Li En's body is the result of his careful protection.

The expression on his face was still extremely focused. Li En sat quietly on the sofa. The only sound in the study was the sound of him flipping through documents.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye it was afternoon.

"Dong dong~!"

"Master Li En, Miss Katarina is here."

"Please come in quickly."

Li En said this, getting up from the sofa and heading towards the door.

"Click~!"

The door opened, long red hair fluttered in the air, and a slim figure flashed by.

"Bang~!"

Catalina used both arms to hug Li En tightly, with such force that it seemed as if she wanted to merge herself into his arms.

"I'm back, Katerina."

"Lee En~!"

Holding the person in his arms, Li En gently stroked Katarina's back.

"Didn't I tell you before that the Reyes family is also your family? You don't need to ask the maid to inform them. You can just come here directly."

"Yeah...I know."

Catalina raised her head and moved closer to Li En.

After a long while, the two sat on the sofa, Catalina snuggled in Li En's arms, and Li En looked down at her.

"You must be exhausted from supporting the family in the Immortal Fortress during this period of time. Your face has become thinner."

“Just dealing with some blind idiots, not tiring at all.

Li En, you came back this time..."

"I'll stay for a while. I can keep you company."

"Um..."

Hearing this, a joyful and happy smile appeared on Catalina's lips, and she leaned back into Li En's arms again.

If the assassins who had worked with Catalina saw this scene, they would probably be so shocked that they would doubt their lives.

After all, after the newly appointed Grand Commander Jericho Swain implemented a stricter decree than Darkwill's, specifically targeting the "nobles", bloody fighting dyed almost every shadow of the Immortal Fortress red.

And in this battle, the most dazzling one is Catalina, the scarlet flower blooming in blood.

"Lee En..."

"Ok?"

"Now that my strength has improved greatly, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Help me... Of course."

"What!?"

"How about you accompany me to pick up Annie and Berea later, and then help me prepare dinner for today?"

"what?"

"Don't you want to?"

"Of course I do."

"Okay, let's set off now."

...

"Boring, boring, so boring~!"

Sitting on the clean and tidy platform, swinging her smooth little feet.

Berea looked at the mages in long robes, busily walking back and forth, their faces full of listless laziness.

She, Berea, thought that if she listened to Li En, she could drink the red "little drink" left by Li En every day and live a comfortable life.

Unexpectedly, not long after Li En left, she came to a secret magic academy called "Castis", joined the research institute inside the academy, and became one of the most important researchers.

Why is she important? It is because the topic of this group revolves around her. Berea's daily work is to cooperate with the mages to conduct a certain degree of research.

The so-called certain degree of research means that the highest order has been issued from above, strictly prohibiting any risky way of studying Berea, while giving her as much autonomy as possible.

As for the results achieved during this period of time, just from the bloodstone shackles that Berea had already untied and removed and placed casually beside her, which were split into two halves, it can be seen that considerable results have been achieved.

"Okay no Lana, this is so boring, I need to go out for a walk!"

"Okay, Miss Berea, please feel free to go wherever you want, but don't go too far. The magic circle will be built in a moment, and you will need to stand in the center to cooperate."

"I know, I know."

"Crack~!"

Berea jumped lightly to the ground, picked up the bloodstone shackles beside her and hung them on her back, then quickly ran out of the laboratory.
