Legends of Runeterra

"Lord Li En, Councillor Caitlin, please follow me."

At the end of the red carpet, a tall and strong waiter bowed.

"Okay, I'm done."

Li En nodded and let Caitlin hold his arm and walk together.

Soon, the two of them came to the door of the hall under the guidance of the waiter.

The waiter stopped to make way, bowed and raised his hand to signal the two to go in.

"Master Li En, you are here!"

"Master Li En, it is an honor to participate in the 'Evolution Day' celebration with you!"

"Happy holidays, Lord Lien, Councillor Caitlin!"

"Haha~! Happy Evolution Day to everyone too."

He greeted the Piltover nobles who came up to him with a relaxed smile, and swept his gentle eyes over them. Everyone felt Li En's respect, but at the same time he did not give them a sense of perfunctoriness.

The ancient and elegant aristocratic heritage of the Reyes family was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

"Haha~!"

A fleeting chuckle sounded in Li En's ears.

"What's wrong Caitlin?"

"Nothing, I just think that the seemingly elegant postures of these Piltover nobles seem too pretentious in front of you."

"They just want something from me. 'Benefits' are what they pursue most."

"Well, you're right."

Seeing Li En and Caitlyn whispering, the Piltover nobles around them would not disturb them without thinking. They left them enough space and chatted with each other while holding glasses filled with scarlet wine.

"By the way, Jeros, have you noticed the guards at this 'Evolution Day' celebration?"

"Of course, that physique is really surprising. At first glance, I thought it was a chemist from Zaun who came here!"

“Hahaha~! Those lowly fellows will never be able to pollute the environment of Piltover in their lifetime!

The safety of this celebration was personally ensured by Lord Ambesa, who arranged for his own guards to take charge.”

"I see. Now, aren't we enjoying the treatment of Noxian nobles?"

"Who says it's not?"

"This is really reassuring. Even though a lot of tax money is allocated to the Ministry of Public Security every year, those rat-like Zaun people still cause trouble from time to time.

The money is wasted, those sheriffs are useless, it would be better to buy a few more police dogs!"

"I think it's feasible. How about you raise this idea at the next parliament meeting?"

"The person in charge of the Ministry of Public Security is the one who was personally promoted to the position of congressman by that gentleman. Burns, do you think I'm stupid?"

"Hehe~! Just a joke."

...

After receiving the preliminary "Star Creation Ascension", Caitlin and others, even though they cannot be compared with the "Ascendants", have still entered the extraordinary realm.

It was not difficult to capture the whispers of the two nobles in the hall where melodious music was echoing.

Li En casually took a glass of Caitlin's favorite wine from the tray of the maid and handed it to her who was pouting slightly.

"If they make you unhappy, let them see what the 'power' of a councillor is."

"Hmph! Li En, please don't mix me up with other councillors, I won't do that!

The reason I took on the concurrent role of the Public Security Department was because the previous head was found to have embezzled money.”

"Well, if half, no, one-third of the council members of Piltover were as serious and responsible as you, Caitlyn, then this city would deserve the title of 'City of Progress'."

"Even if you praise me like this, I won't be very happy."

Despite saying this, Caitlin's mouth corners couldn't help but slightly rise.

For a person in love, there is nothing sweeter than the affirmation and praise of the one he or she loves.

For a moment, Caitlin's mood, which was a little distressed because of various complicated affairs, also improved a lot.

Seeing this, Li En took advantage of the situation and pursued the enemy.

"Does this count as a compliment? I'm simply repeating the facts!"

"You're such a flatterer. With your skills, even an ordinary person can get ahead in the Piltover Senate."

"I don't bother to bother with others. If I want to take a picture, I'll only take a picture of you."

"you..."

Caitlin didn't know what Li En's words reminded her of. A faint blush covered her pretty face, and then she gave Li En a charming look.

"Haha~! I was wondering why Caitlin left home so early in the morning and didn't go to the celebration with us.

Happy Evolution Day, Li-Eun."

"Happy 'Evolution Day', Uncle Wayne, Aunt Cassandra."

"Happy holidays, father, mother."

Facing the gaze of the Gilaman couple, Caitlin, who was caught, had an unnatural look on her face, but she still held Li En's arm tightly.

"Well, happy holidays. Your father and I are going to meet some friends. You guys can continue chatting."

"Okay, uncle and aunt, take care."

The two nodded to Li En with satisfied smiles, and then left together.

"Come on, let's sit down and rest for a while."

"Ah."

Caitlin nodded, and the two of them walked to the semi-open seats on both sides of the hall for rest and chatting.

The two were just about to walk towards an empty seat.

"Mr. Li En, Miss Caitlin."

The two turned around and the current head of the Philos family stood up and greeted them elegantly.

"Happy holidays, Ms. Diana."

"Haha~! Happy holidays to you two too."

Under Caitlin's gaze, Li En and Diana made eye contact, and seemed to exchange some information that she didn't know.

Her rosy lips trembled slightly, but Caitlin still did not choose to ask at this occasion.

The three of them sat down, and Li En quietly set up a barrier to prevent eavesdropping and to prevent information from being stolen by lip reading.

"Mr. Li En, according to your arrangement, the people of the Philos family have been assembled and distributed to various locations, ready to respond at any time."

"Well, very good. When the signal is given, the crowd must be evacuated immediately."

"clear."

"Wait, Li En, what on earth is going on?"

Facing Caitlin's glance back and forth, Diana looked at Li En with an inquiring look.

"Nothing, it's just that Ambersa intends to take this opportunity to eliminate the nobles who oppose her and unify Piltover."

"what!?"

"Don't worry, uncle and auntie and the others know that I gave them something that can guarantee their safety."

"No, is that the question? Why didn't you tell me!?"

“You are already tired enough going to the parliament to handle affairs every day. Telling you in advance will only add to your psychological pressure. You will also have to pay attention and pretend that you don’t know.

That’s why I’m telling you now. If you’re unhappy, then I want to say…”

Caitlin placed her slender white fingers lightly on Li En's lips, and she rolled her eyes at him unhappily.

"Forget it, I know you're doing this for my own good.

But, in your opinion, Li En, am I such a stingy person?"

"Of course not, Caitlin you have the biggest heart."

"Hmph! That's more like it."
