Legends of Runeterra

It is true that the influx of refugees did bring a large number of laborers to Uzeris.

After all, the mere act of fleeing in this land of yellow sand is enough to screen out those with weak constitutions.

But because of this, the carrying capacity of the city of Uzeris has also faced huge challenges.

The first to be affected was Cassiopeia, the person in charge of this city, whose government affairs doubled at a visible rate.

The workload was so heavy that Cassiopeia often thought after finishing her work that if she hadn't had the "Star Creation Power" given to her by Li En, she would have been exhausted to death by these government affairs.

Of course, Cassiopeia wouldn't think this had anything to do with her tight grip on power.

In her opinion, since Li En had given her this trust, she had to keep Uzeris firmly in her hands and not allow anyone to infiltrate their "home".

Cassiopeia, who was raised by Soleanna herself, is more aware than Katarina of the shadows lurking beneath the powerful empire.

However, as Samira and Sivir continued to personally guide refugees fleeing the conflicts, Cassiopeia was also caught in the joy and troubles brought about by the simultaneous growth of Uzeris's strength and political pressure.

Although she was happy in her heart, it did not prevent her from complaining to the two of them from time to time, and even leaving them to handle those government affairs together.

And they call it a beautiful excuse to train the two's ability to handle government affairs.

For Samira and Sivir, who are mercenaries, they would rather fight with the most brutal sand bandits or enter the most dangerous Axe area than face those documents densely written with various government affairs.

...

After settling the refugees as usual, Samira and Sivir walked through the city lord's mansion and finally came to a magnificent gate.

Subconsciously turning her head to look beside her, Samira met Sivir's gaze.

With a slight smile on her lips, Samira took a step back without hesitation.

Seeing this, Xiweier sighed silently, then raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Dong dong dong~!"

"come in."

Pushing open the door, Xiweier stepped in first.

"Cassiopeia, we..."

"How many refugees did you receive this time? Did you get any other information from them?"

"Uh..."

Looking at Cassiopeia smiling elegantly behind the table, Sivir was stunned for a moment.

For no other reason, every time the two of them brought refugees to see each other, they would be greeted with a stream of complaints and grievances, and then they would be asked to stay and help with government affairs with reasons that the two of them could not refuse.

Today, Cassiopeia didn't even complain. Her face was rosy and she had a smile on her lips. She looked very happy, which really confused Sivir and Samira who followed her in.

"What's wrong? Is there any bad news?"

“No, it didn’t, everything went fine.

As for the intelligence, it is still the same as before. These refugees have heard that Nerimaj is going to officially launch a war, so they have all stayed away from the cities passing through the Shurima capital."

"Okay, I understand. You've worked hard. Go back and rest first."

"Huh? This..."

"Okay Cassiopeia, we'll be leaving now."

Grabbing Sivir's wrist, Samira pulled her away.

No matter what happened to Cassiopeia that caused her to be in such a good mood today, Samira knew that the two of them would not have to deal with that pile of documents, so they didn't have to worry about anything and could just get away quickly.

"Ahem~!"

"who!?"

Samira and Sivir turned their heads suddenly, only to see a very familiar figure leaning on the sofa, his dark and gentle eyes staring at them, with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.

"Leen!!"

"Shua~!"

"Bang~!"

With a flash of her figure, Samira fell directly into Li En's arms. The impact force pushed the sofa back a distance on the soft carpet.

"Really? You're going to break the sofa..."

Holding the plump and agile figure in his arms, a warm face came up before Li En could finish his words.

After a while.

"Crack~!"

Grabbing Samira's right hand accurately and interlocking their fingers so that she couldn't break free, Li En whispered softly in Samira's ear.

"Okay, now is not the time, let's talk about it later."

"Hmm~!"

With a somewhat dissatisfied whimper, Samira still controlled her impulse.

But she still did not leave Li En's arms. Even though Li En stood up, Samira still clung to Li En like a koala.

"Lee En."

Facing Li En who was looking at her, Xiweier's smile was a little restrained.

It’s not that she didn’t miss Li En. To be honest, putting aside Li En’s character, strength and wealth, even his appearance and looks alone were completely in line with Xiweier’s liking.

Not to mention that when the god-like Renekton attacked, it was Li En who turned into a red evil star and fell from the sky, crushing the cruel and brutal Renekton into the dust.

As early as that time, Li En's tall and straight figure, which seemed to be able to block all threats in the world and made her feel extremely safe and secure, was deeply engraved in Xiweier's heart.

This was also the reason why Sivir agreed to Samira's ridiculous request in a daze.

Ever since all her family members were killed by the Saens, Sivir cut off her hair, smeared herself with mud, and grew up with great difficulty.

As Sivir's power and fame grew, her character became more resolute and decisive than that of men.

Even after being betrayed by her good friend Myra and exploited by the mercenary leader Zhai Haro, Sivir became increasingly cold and ruthless.

The reason why Sivir was able to trust Samira was that when she was being hunted down by Charikar and was on the verge of death, the other party rushed into the battlefield without hesitation and took her with him.

Afterwards, when Sivir asked about Samira, she replied, "Since you are quite capable, we want to form a mercenary team with you."

In short, the former Sivir was also changed little by little by the ruthless and cruel land of Shurima, but it was not until Li En appeared in front of her that she realized her inner desire.

She also wanted to throw herself into Li En's arms like Samira did, hug him and feel the breath that made her feel at ease.

But she always felt that she had never helped Li En since they met, but instead she had always been helped by him.

Not only did he save her, but he also blocked the pressure from Azir and Xerath for her.

Sivir, who had never fought side by side with Li En in desperate situations like Samira, always felt that she was not qualified, or that she lacked some emotional accumulation.

"What's wrong, Sivir? Are you feeling unwell?"

Looking at the dazed Sivir, Li En vaguely sensed her emotions and whispered a word of concern.

"I... no, I haven't."

"Ah That's good."
