Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 370: A lecturer who is well versed in human nature, two words that broke Tiana's defens

"Lady Tiana!"

"Good day, Marshal Tiana!"

Li En and Jarvan bowed to Tiana, while Eldred stood there silently.

"Good day, Your Highness."

Tiana nodded to Jarvan, then looked at Li En.

"Li En, I have something to ask you. Please come with me."

"Uh... Jarvan, I'll be leaving now."

"Well, go ahead, Li En."

Jarvan also has great respect for this marshal.

After all, he was naughty together with Garen when he was a child. After beating up Garen, the other party would take the opportunity to complain to His Majesty the III, causing Jarvan to be severely punished as well.

"Goodbye, Lord Eldred, and thank you for your explanation."

"You're welcome Lee En, bye."

Seeing Li En coming, Tiana bowed slightly to Jarvan, then turned around and left.

He didn't even look in Eldred's direction during the whole process, as if the other party didn't exist.

"Eldred, I'm going to training too."

"Your Highness, walk slowly."

After watching Garen's figure disappear around the corner, Eldred turned to look in the direction where Li En and Tiana left.

The flattering smile disappeared, and the hands hidden by the long sleeves slowly clenched.

...

Following Tiana, they turned many corners along the way. Seeing that she never stopped, Li En just followed her.

Tiana, who was walking in front, also had mixed feelings at the moment.

After reporting the military situation to the III, she accidentally saw Li En and Eldred standing together and talking while passing by.

Because of her dislike for Eldred, Tiana subconsciously called Li En to leave together.

Now that the two of them were moving forward, she didn't know what to say.

Looking at the surrounding environment, the two have arrived at the Imperial Garden.

If no one stops them, the two will go deeper into the garden.

Although this was not a big deal, many guards and maids saw it along the way, and the garden was lush and dense, so it was not appropriate for the two to go too deep into it.

"Um... Lady Tiana, there is no one else here. If you have anything to say, why not say it now?"

"Ah? Okay..."

Tiana paused and glanced around, and found that there was indeed no one around.

The clear sound of birds singing came from deep within the garden, making the garden even more quiet.

"Lee En..."

"Ah."

"As for that guy, you'd better not get too close to him."

"You mean, Eldred?"

Hearing that Li En did not call the other party "Sir", Tiana's mood improved a little.

“Due to several attacks on the royal family by the ‘Demon Infected’, the power of the Demon Hunters has grown stronger over the years.

Although the final investigation showed that it was the work of some traitors, there is no doubt that he gained the most from it. "

"Lady Tiana, have you... investigated Eldred?"

"Well, after the outbreak of the 'evil curse', as one of the only two people who have faced that existence directly, of course I have to investigate him.

I just collected this information two days ago, and I haven’t had time to tell you yet.”

"Well, I understand. Thank you for your reminder, sir."

"It's okay. Besides... you have helped the Mianwei family so much. You don't have to call me sir."

"Uh... well... thank you aunt?"

"what?"

Hearing Li En's sudden shout, Tiana's face froze and her toes curled slightly in her boots.

"I'm sorry, I was a little presumptuous."

"You...I...Anyway, you don't have to call me sir in the future. I just think that there is no need for such a distant name between us.

Of course, forget about the title of aunt... aunt."

"Ok, I see."

"Well, nothing else, I'll leave first."

Before Li En could speak, Tiana left quickly with her long, slender legs after saying a few words.

Tiana walked away with her back to Li En, and a blush of embarrassment quietly appeared on her usually dignified face.

...

After going back to say hello to Jarvan, Li En hurriedly left the Fortress of Dawn.

After the banquet, Fiona took the initiative to invite Li En to Laurent Manor yesterday on her own behalf.

As soon as I got off the carriage, a maid came to greet me.

"Master Li En, I am Miss Fiona's maid, Liz. Please follow me."

"Okay, but before that, I'd better say hello to Mrs. Claudia."

"Sir, Miss Fiona asked me to tell you that Lady Claudia has gone out shopping with her friends this morning."

"Is that so? I understand. Lead the way."

"Yes, Lord Li En."

Following the maid's lead, the two arrived outside a courtyard.

At the maid's signal, Li En walked into the yard alone.

"It looks... similar to the style of Katarina's yard."

There were no gorgeous sculptures or lush green plants or flowers. On the thick brick and stone ground stood numerous human-shaped targets covered with sword marks.

In this pavilion which was almost next to the small training ground, a tall figure dressed in swordsman's uniform stood silently with his back to Li En.

"You came."

"I am coming."

If Fiona's next sentence was "You shouldn't have come", Li En would probably start exchanging secret codes immediately.

Fortunately, Fiona's dry words were just due to nervousness.

"Please sit down, Li En."

"Ok."

The two sat down face to face, and Fiona poured two cups of tea somewhat unskillfully.

"Tea, please."

"Thank you."

A faint vapor rose from the cup, and Fiona stared at the mist, as if trying to see something from it.

"Um...Fiona, why did you invite me here this time?"

"I'm sorry Lee En!"

"what?"

"After performing that move at the banquet, I gained new insights. I have been in seclusion to comprehend it during this period. I even did not attend the last time my father thanked you."

"Hey~! You're talking about this, it's okay Fiona, Mr. Sebastian told me last time.

Don't take it personally, you can say thank you at any time, but opportunities like this don't come often."

"I..."

"By the way, does your coming out of seclusion this time mean that you have succeeded in your enlightenment?"

"Actually... it's still a little short..."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"The new move I learned can only be effective if it is carried out by a living being, but...now in the Laurent family, even my father cannot safely take this move."

"Okay, I get it, come on."

Li En stood up and waved Fiona to the training ground with a smile.

Faced with Li En, who spoke without hesitation and was very straightforward, Fiona was a little hesitant.

"What's wrong Fiona?"

"I...I want to thank you this time, not ask you to be my sparring partner."

"I know, but if I could see your new sword skills, that would be the best way to thank me!"

"Lee En..."

"bring it on!"

"Ok!"

Staring at Li En's dark eyes, Fiona's cold face showed a bright smile.

"It's great to meet someone like Li En who loves swordsmanship!"
