Legends of Runeterra

"Bang~!"

The ship's wooden planks gently landed on the dock. Diana took a few steps forward and looked at the ship's deck with excitement.

“Tick, tick, tick!”

An extremely familiar tall figure appeared in front of everyone with elegant steps.

"grown ups!"

"Well, Diana, thank you for your hard work during this period."

"It's not hard, sir."

"Come on, let's get out of here first."

"Yes, my lord."

The group quickly left this secret dock that was not recorded in the records.

“Click~Click~!”

The carriage was traveling in the spacious secret passage dug by the Philos family. Inside the carriage, Diana, who had already taken off her cloak, sat opposite Camille, staring directly at her. A hint of worry could not be stopped on her mature and graceful face.

From the beginning till now, Camille has never taken off the cloak that covers her body, and this behavior inevitably makes Diana feel uneasy.

"Grandmother, you..."

"Haha~! Don't worry Diana, I'm fine. I just have some changes compared to before, so I'm not showing it to the tribe members just now."

Camille said, raising her hand and gently removing the hood of her cloak.

Suddenly, Diana was stunned in her place, her mouth opened slightly involuntarily due to excessive surprise.

It was an elegant and refined face with the perfect demeanor that was the epitome of Piltover nobility.

Judging from this perfect face alone, the person opposite is obviously much younger than Diana.

The young face and the elegant temperament accumulated over the years made the person in front of her even more charming. Even Diana herself had to admit that she was not as good as the other person.

But...according to the blood lineage, this person is actually my great-aunt.

"This... Grandmother, you... you..."

"That's why I need to hide my body temporarily."

Camille said as she gently reached out her hand and directly grasped Diana's right wrist which was touching the side of her body.

"I'm not someone else pretending to be me, little Annie, you don't have to be nervous."

When Diana was called by the nickname that Camille had given her when she was young and that only existed when the two of them were communicating, her face turned slightly red and she visibly relaxed a lot.

"So...it turns out to be you!!"

"Haha~! Of course, the reason why I look like this now is because..."

Camille told Diana what had happened in simple, clear words.

"I see. Thanks to Lord Li En, otherwise..."

"Well, you did a good job this time."

"Grandmother, thank you for your praise."

Looking at Camille's fair and smooth face, which was a few years younger than her, Diana felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"But I never expected that there was such an advanced and terrifying country hidden deep in the jungle, which we once thought was only a place with some backward residents in the Mang River Delta..."

"Well, now Li En has become a guest of honor in that country, and we, Philos, just need to follow Li En and don't have to worry about anything."

Camille said, pulling out a document from under her cloak.

“These are the ten mining areas that Ixtal allowed us to mine, including our original mining area.

Remember, it is because of Li En that we are qualified to mine.

After returning, draft the latest contract and go to Hefeng Industry in person, understand?"

"Yes, Grandmother!"

"very good."

Camille nodded in satisfaction.

As for whether anyone in the family would have objections because of this, Camille, who has become stronger now, no longer cares.

The Ferros family has already reached the top in Piltover. If they want to go further, they can only take Li En's helicarrier.

She has already boarded an aerospace carrier that can make Philos soar to the sky. Who would care about a few shabby sampans struggling on the sea?

"By the way, what is the situation regarding that Noxian general?"

"Grandma, the general's name is Ambesa Midalda."

"Midalda..."

"Yes, grandmother. When Lord Li En went to the Kumangu Jungle to rescue you, she was in Piltover..."

...

In the luxurious conference room, Jace, wearing a neat uniform and a dark golden gear emblem on his chest, was sitting in the main seat.

Below, four well-known noble patriarchs of Piltover were looking at Jayce who was sitting in the main seat with flattering smiles on their faces.

"Mr. Congressman, with your..."

"Bang~!"

The door to the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and a slender figure in a long skirt rushed into the conference room, chased by the guards.

"Jace you can't..."

"Call me Councillor, Ms. Midalda!"

The arrogant voice rudely interrupted Mel's words, and her light brown face first showed a look of astonishment, then disbelief, and finally turned into a blush mixed with disappointment and anger.

"I'm sorry, Senator, we..."

"Get off!!"

"Yes, Senator!"

The guards who were chasing behind bowed repeatedly, retreated quickly and carefully, and closed the door of the conference room as lightly and quickly as possible.

"Click~!"

The door closed. After this interruption, Mel, who was standing in place, glanced at the other four noble family heads, quickly adjusted his mood, and looked at Jace calmly with his face dotted with gold sequins.

"Jace, I wish to speak to you alone."

As soon as Mel opened his mouth, the four family heads who had already heard about the relationship between the two got up from their seats and left.

"No need, there are no outsiders here, just say it directly if you have something to say!"

Hearing this, the four family heads, who had just moved a few centimeters away from their chairs, sat down again.

"..."

Mel looked at Jace in silence. He met her gaze, looking at her calmly with an arrogance that was hard to conceal.

'Why on earth did you become like this?'

Mel really wanted to question Jace, but it was obvious that this question would be meaningless to him in his current state.

So, Mel chose to directly expose his mother Ambersa's conspiracy.

"Jace, she's just using you!"

"Oh! Exploitation?"

"Otherwise, yes, now all the nobles in Piltover are afraid that you will come after them, but have you ever thought that everything you have is just temporarily lent to you by her?

Once she takes it back, then you..."

"What about me?"

Jace, wearing a neat uniform, slowly walked two meters in front of Mel and opened his arms.

"Now that I'm a member of parliament, these noble gentlemen all listen to me. Ask them, does anyone have any other ideas?"

"No! Of course not!!"

"Yes, yes, the congressman is pointing to the direction we should go!!"

"Yes, we are very honored to work for the congressman!!"

...

As he listened to the four noble patriarchs expressing their loyalty, the smile on Jace's face grew more wanton.

“Hehehahaha~!!”

"Do you have anything else to say, Lady Medarda?"

"..."

"Bang~!"

“Tick, tick, tick!”

Looking at Mel who disappeared in the violently shaking door, a trace of guilt flashed across Jace's arrogant face.

Then, when he turned around and faced the four family heads again, the expression on his face became even more arrogant.
