"It's nothing. What happened? You seem very angry?"
Akali also said softly, "Aren't Demacia and Noxus still at war?"
The captain sighed and said, "That's the reason. I believe you two have heard of Kree."
Soraka thought for a moment and said, "I know him. He's a Yordle. I never expected that among the gentle Yordles, there would be someone who has learned to kill and crave blood..."
Akali nodded and said, "That guy is notorious, so what?"
"Kled personally participated in this war. The war was very difficult, but at the critical moment, Kled actually retreated. That's right, Kled, who even dared to insult Darius, actually withdrew his troops."
Akali paused for a moment and said, "Rumor has it that Kled has a terrible temper and no one can make him give up the pleasure of war. Why would he withdraw his troops? Is it a scheme?"
"I don't know. I'm just a squad leader. But the rumor is that Swain and Darius teamed up to force him to retreat. So Demacia strengthened its defenses to prevent any possible conspiracy and to keep spies and thugs out of Demacia."
Soraka thought for a moment and said, "Is there anything unusual happening in Noxus?"
"Lady Soraka, please forgive my ignorance. I am just a squad leader, and I really can't know much about what's ahead. However, I am only a deputy commander. The last checkpoint ahead is the centurion, who will know more. You can ask him."
Soraka nodded and said, "Okay, what's been happening in Demacia lately?"
"Demacia... A lot happens in Demacia every day, but the most famous one should be the duel in Xiongdu."
"A duel? I've heard about it. Who's dueling whom?"
"The rumor is that it was Princess Laksana Crownguard of the Crownguard family and Lady Fiona Laurent, the peerless rose of the Laurent family. However, it seems that someone fought in place of Princess Laksana Crownguard and won against her. I don't know the specifics, as I am not qualified to witness such a duel."
Akali glanced at Soraka, who simply nodded after a moment's thought without saying anything. However, she had already decided to start her investigation with Laksana, a decision her intuition told her.

The so-called checkpoint is probably a post in front of a small village or town. Soraka put on her hood as soon as she entered the village, while Akali was completely unknown to everyone. However, once she entered the checkpoint, she was no longer a bad person.
"Lord Soraka! We are truly ashamed that our little village has no very good food!"
Soraka shook her head and said, "It's alright, some simple dry food will do. We need to hurry if we want to get to Xiongdu."
"Oh! How could that be! That would be far too disrespectful to Lady Soraka!"
"It's alright, just fill it with more water if you can."
"Please rest assured, Lord Soraka, we will make all the arrangements. I have already sent someone on horseback to the last line of defense to inform the centurion. Lord Soraka, you will receive the best supplies and prepared wagons directly."
Soraka nodded and said, "Thank you."
"It's our honor. How are the preparations going?"
"It's all ready, Lord Soraka. This water bag is full, and this is a traditional delicacy from our little village, bread made from animal milk and grains. Lord Soraka, don't worry, this is food that every family can afford. In addition, there are some dried fish, dried meat, and fruit."
The sergeant nodded and said, "Very well, Lady Soraka. I'm so sorry, this is the best we can offer in a short time. Please forgive us for not even preparing a pot of meat soup for you."
Soraka shook her head and said, "It's already very good, but can we still find dried fish here?"
The centurion laughed and said, "There are fishermen here. They go out for a long time and then come back to sell the fish to the army. The army takes the fish back to various towns, but the freshest and best-looking ones are sent to Xiongdu. It's not difficult to eat fish in Demacia."
Soraka nodded, and Akali accepted the water bag and package before the two left. The soldier breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I never expected to have the honor of meeting Lady Soraka."
"Yes, you really are a very approachable gentleman. By the way, where did you get the dried meat?"
"It was bought by the brothers in the team."
"Is that so...? Here, take this and go buy some meat. I'll treat everyone to meat soup tonight!"
"Yes!"
"Let's go back to patrol. We'll buy meat this afternoon and tell the uncle to scrape the skin off the meat separately."
"Ok!"
Soraka and Akali walked along, eating as they went. The food wasn't particularly delicious, but it had its own unique flavor. Akali said softly, "Lady Soraka, do you want to prioritize investigating Luxana?"
"Yes, because that's the current situation. The mysterious person who helped Laksana is the biggest unknown right now, so we should investigate him."
Akali said softly, "Should I go directly to Laxana?"
"No, if Luxana isn't a stupid girl, she should know I'm looking for her. Let's wait and see her reaction. Akali, you can go check out the Laurent family. Hey? Demacia seems to have three major families, right?"
"Yes, you are indeed wise. There is also the Bouvier family. The famous musician Miss Sona is the apple of the Bouvier family's eye."
Soraka thought for a moment and said, "Sona...Sona Bouvier...I've heard that name before. Oh! She's that little girl who can't speak but has a heart-stirring musical talent. I know her. She's a poor, good girl."
"Yes, it is a pity that Miss Sona cannot speak."
"You always lose something when you gain something, but this time, for personal reasons, I want to talk to Miss Sona. I'm very curious about what kind of strong and noble soul she has."
"Hmm...would you like to consider the Bouvier family?"
"unnecessary....."
While they were rushing towards Demacia, the centurion of the last line of defense on the other side immediately dispatched men to Xiongdu.
The news spread rapidly to Xiongdu, and Tiana, who was still in the military camp, hurriedly rode her horse to the training ground on the other side.
"Commander Tiana!"
Where is Garen?
"Commander Garen is training!"
"Okay, I understand! Continue organizing the training!"
"Yes!"
When Tiana arrived, Garen was still carrying chains and dragging a huge stone statue forward. Garen noticed her and turned around to see Tiana standing beside him.
Garen quickly dropped the chains and said in a deep voice, "Greetings, Commander Tiana!"
"Garen! Return to the Crownguard family immediately! Immediately!"
Garen was taken aback and quickly asked, "Commander Tiana! Has something happened to the Crownguard family?"
"No! It's because we received accurate information! Lady Soraka and her assistant from Ionia are heading towards the last line of defense! They are expected to arrive in Xiongdu before tonight!"
Garen was taken aback for a moment before quickly saying, "So fast?!"
"Yes, Lady Soraka and her assistant haven't rested along the way. The last line of defense has been prepared with carriages and horses, so they'll arrive even faster. Now! Immediately! Back to the Crownguard family! Do you want to meet Lady Soraka reeking of sweat, wearing armor, and carrying a sword?!"
Garen said with a serious expression, "Yes, sir! However..."
"Garen, being all coy isn't your style! Just say what you want to say!"
"Yes! Who will go and inform Lux?!"
"Huh?! Isn't that girl in the shopping district?"
"No! She and Miss Sona are having afternoon tea! She mentioned it this morning!"
Tiana rolled her eyes, slapped her forehead, and said, "That brat! But there shouldn't be any problems if she's with Miss Sona. I reckon the Buvel family has already gone to find Miss Sona. Lux came back on her own. Garen, run! Speed! Quick as lightning!"
"Yes!"
After Tiana rode away, Garen turned around and shouted, "Everyone! Training is over! Wash off your sweat!"
"Yes!"xn
After saying that, Garen turned and ran out. If he went through the city, the army's horses would not increase their speed, so Garen ran back. The title of Iron Man Garen was well-deserved.

Chapter 297 Fiona's Headache, Two Troubled Sisters (Please Subscribe~)
Just as Tiana said, the Bouvier family immediately sent people to find Sona. Compared to Lux, Sona was much easier to find.
Sona and Lux were sitting quietly in their chairs, drinking afternoon tea. Sona asked in confusion, "Lux, have you noticed how noisy it is outside the courtyard?"
"Of course I heard it. If I'm not mistaken, something must have happened."
"But..."
Sona covered her mouth before she could finish speaking, because a person dressed in black robes had suddenly appeared in the courtyard. Sona always remembered that she couldn't speak in front of outsiders.
Lux asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
Sona also looked at the man in black robes. You know, in front of outsiders, they were two weak women, so it was normal for someone to kidnap them. But the next moment, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
The man in black robes removed his hood, revealing himself to be Fiona. Fiona said irritably, "You two still have the mind to chat here? Hurry up and go back."
"Eh? What happened?"
Seeing that it was Fiona, the two breathed a sigh of relief. Fiona and Lux had been going to the store frequently recently, so their relationship was pretty good. At least Fiona had less prejudice against Lux.
Fiona said softly, "Lady Soraka will arrive in Xiongdu before tonight. You will be summoned soon. I've come to inform you."
"What?!" x2
"Shh... Keep your voices down! Are you all afraid people won't know Sona can talk?! Or are you afraid people won't know I'm here?!"
Both of them quickly covered their mouths, their synchronized movements as if it had been planned. Fiona's lips twitched as well; being with these two always made her feel like an older sister with two mischievous younger sisters.
I initially thought Sona was reliable, but it turns out she's also someone with her own ideas. That's not the key point, though. The key point is that Sona is also very curious, unlike Lux.
Lux asked directly, but Sona didn't. Sona just looked at it without saying anything, her innocent eyes seeming to suggest that not telling her would be a crime.
Fiona said softly, "I've already told you, I'm going back now. See you at the party tonight. Lux, you'd better think carefully about the steps you need to take if you do this, after all, Lady Soraka is too big a target."
"I see...."
As they were talking, they suddenly heard footsteps, and then saw Fiona quickly jump over the wall and leave. Just as Fiona left, a girl ran in.
Upon seeing the two, He He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Greetings, Miss Laksana, Miss Sona. Madam asked me to inform you that Lord Soraka is about to arrive in Xiongdu and that you should return home immediately to prepare."
Sona nodded, picked up her harp, stood up, nodded to Lux, and turned to leave. Lux quickly ran towards the Crownguard's location.
However, as soon as Lux reached her doorstep, she heard footsteps. She turned around and saw Garen running towards her with a fierce look on his face and a sword on his back.
If Lux didn't know Garen's personality, she would have thought he was going to rush over and slash her with his sword. Garen didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he was right in front of Lux and said, "Lux, when did you get back?"
"I just got home and found out that Lady Soraka was coming soon, so I rushed back."
Garen nodded and said, "It's fortunate that you're with Miss Sona. Go quickly to bathe, change, and get ready. You'll need to attend a banquet tonight. As a girl, you'll have many opportunities to speak with Lady Soraka, so make a good impression."
"I understand! But..."
"what?"
"Brother, you really need to take a shower, you stink. And you should change into a formal suit."
Garen sighed and nodded, saying, "I know. By the way, is Aunt Tiana here?"
"Huh? Aunt Tiana is back too? I didn't know, I just got to the door."
Just as Garen was about to speak, he saw Tiana galloping over on horseback. Tiana breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lux and said, "Thank goodness, Lux, it's so good to have you at home."
"Lux got back earlier than me, Aunt Tiana, why are you only just returning?"
After landing on the ground, Tiana said softly, "I went to see Prince Jarvan. He told you to bathe and change, and then go to the palace to see him immediately."
Garen paused for a moment before asking in confusion, "Why must I go to see Lady Soraka immediately?"
"I don't know, it's probably just a conversation between your friends, Lux. Your target tonight is three people, do you know who they are?"
Lux thought for a moment and said, "Lady Soraka, Miss Sona, who else?"
Tiana pondered for a moment and said, "And then there's... the possibility of Miss Bobby appearing."
“Miss Bobby… Oh! I know! But I haven’t seen her in so long, where did she go?”
Tiana smiled and said, "She is still searching for the owner of that warhammer, that hero. She is different from Kled; she is a Yordle worthy of respect."
"Okay! It would be so lucky to meet her."
"Yes, so what are you two standing there for? Move! Quickly! Speed up! Don't let me see either of you until you're all fresh-faced and dressed in your finest attire!"
"Yes!" x2
Lux and Garen simply pushed open the door and disappeared. Tiana breathed a sigh of relief, patted her warhorse, and said with a smile, "Looks like we should get ready. Old buddy, I can't take you for a walk today."
No one expected that the entire Demacia city would become so lively in just a few minutes, which also shows just how strong Soraka's personal charisma is.
However, not all places were so lively. For example, Potts was locked in her office at the moment. She felt her adrenaline soaring. She had never handled work so quickly and efficiently before, because she had something more important than work to do today.
