Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 736 Swain's Plan

"You're awake honey, how are you feeling?"

"It's better than ever. Is this... what gave Cassiopeia the confidence to 'provoke' me in the letter?"

Feeling the power surging in her body, Catalina couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly.

With such a powerful force, it’s no wonder that useless sister became so arrogant in the letter.

If he really went there rashly, he would probably be defeated and ridiculed by Cassiopeia.

"Oh? Did Peya challenge you to a fight in her letter?"

“No, she didn’t directly invite me to fight, but a long time ago, the wording in her letter suddenly became much more outrageous.

Both openly and secretly, they want me to go to Uzeris."

"So that's it."

Li En nodded, a look of apology on his face.

"I'm sorry, dear. I haven't found an opportunity before, so..."

A pair of slender, fair hands, without any tiny scars from the knife, held both sides of Li En's cheeks and interrupted his words.

“Dear, why do you need to apologize when you can share such a powerful power with me?

Besides, with my current strength and the amulet you left me, who in Noxus can hurt me?"

"Katrin..."

Katarina stood on tiptoe and blocked Li En's words.

...

The howling wind from the sky blew away the dust from the forge, and today the Immortal Fortress has a rare clear and sunny day.

“Click~Click~!”

As the carriage slowly stopped, Li En got off.

Looking up at what was once Bron Darkwill's palace, now the magnificent building where Jericho Swain conducts government affairs.

"Master Li En, please follow me."

"Okay, I'm done."

With a standard aristocratic smile on his face, Li En followed the guards and walked into the magnificent building complex which is still the power center of Noxus.

...

"Lean Reyes, meet Lord Swain!"

"Come on, Li En, sit down."

"Yes, thank you Master Swain."

Looking at Li En who sat down gracefully and politely, Swain's dignified face showed a hint of a smile.

"How is it? It's been a while since we last met. Have you gained anything from your training outside?"

As one of the chess pieces in his game with the Black Rose, Li En is certainly important in Swain's eyes, but precisely because of his importance, he will never take any action against Li En easily.

"My Lord, this journey has broadened my horizons and made me realize that Noxus's present status is inseparable from the efforts of people like you."

"Hahaha~! It seems that this journey has really made you grow up."

Facing Li En, who was very tight-lipped and did not reveal anything about his journey, Swain smiled happily instead.

Every Noxian who grows up will have his own ambitions, and with ambitions, there will be better means to drive others.

For Swain, Li En would be more advantageous for him to control in this situation.

After all, as Lien was trained by Hilda Reyes, Swain had never thought of trusting the other party.

The more Swain learned about the darkness behind the empire through the demon Ram, the more cautious he became, and his previous idea of ​​conquering the empire was long gone.

The Black Rose is an association with a history even older than that of Noxus. Any careless behavior will lead to irreversible consequences.

After having an aristocratic conversation with Li En that contained no substantive content, Swain watched the young man leave the study with "relief".

"Okay, come out."

As Swain finished speaking, a figure hidden in demonic power appeared in front of him.

His tall and strong figure was stronger than the average man, his curly white hair was tied back, and his face full of scars was serious and solemn.

"Lord Swain!"

"How about it, General Anbesa, are you confident?"

"Yes, sir, please rest assured!"

"Very good, then let's act according to the plan."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

...

"Master Li En, Swain has bad intentions!"

"Well, thanks to you, Ram."

Inside the carriage, Li En looked at the strange crow with six scarlet eyes standing on his table, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Hey~! You're welcome. I'm your best friend after all!"

What a joke! He, the secret demon Ram, is not comparable to some useless demon who can only transform into a doll and follow a little kid to school every day!

The moment Li En did not hide the fact that he had returned to the Immortal Fortress, Ram felt the extremely subtle but extremely real aura of the legendary 'Head of the Ten Original Demons' from him.

Apart from being a secret demon, the knowledge in its head is extremely comprehensive.

Either Li En became the follower of that existence, or even more terrifyingly, he escaped safely from the clutches of that existence.

In both situations, Li En was not someone that this "good devil" who only cared about knowledge and hated fighting could deal with.

The devil Ram, who knows the times and is a wise man, decisively reveals all his plans regarding Li En.

As for how this would affect Swain, Ram could only wish him good luck.

"Of course, Ram, I can feel your loyalty to me since we started working together."

"Yes, Master Li En, I am really touched that you think so.

With your words, as long as you want, I guarantee that you will know any movement of Noxus faster than Swain! '

'Haha~! That's not necessary. Swain and Noxus are just at the table, and our real opponent is the guy sitting at the table.'

"You are right, my Lord. Ram will remember it!"

"Well, continue to monitor the Immortal Fortress. If there are any unusual movements, please inform me at any time."

"Yes, Master Li En!"

...

Back at Reyes Manor, as soon as he entered the living room, an elegant figure rushed into Li En's arms.

"Dear~!"

"Iris, why are you..."

"What did you call me dear?"

"I'm sorry, dear."

"Hmph~!"

Nestled in Li En's arms, breathing in the soothing breath, Iris squinted her eyes comfortably.

"Do you know how busy I have been these past few days? Obviously, the affairs of the Black Rose do not need to be handled by someone of my level, but..."

Listening to Iris's resentful mumbling, Li En understood that Iris, who had visited him on the night she returned, had obviously been framed by Leblanc.

"You've had a hard time these past few days, dear."

"Hmph! Let's not talk about this anymore. Li En, there will be a dinner party in three days. Remember to come with me!"

"Dinner party?"

"That's right, the Scarlet Dinner, the most mysterious and top-notch dinner in all of Noxus!"
