Demacia...
This magnificent capital city is called the 'City of Light' by people from other parts of the Rune World!
It is a utopia where everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, a paradise on earth far away from the erosion of magic and darkness!
The weather is very good today,
Blue sky and white clouds, the golden bay of the Sea of Conquerors, the beautiful capital of Demacia, the beautiful Mithril City, neat streets, the traffic of people and horses, and the beautiful white castle buildings far and near , the unified blue roofs of Demacia, tall fountains, majestic statues, these elements blend together softly, making this capital city of Demacia look particularly charming...
However,
At this time, a blonde girl wearing a white tight-fitting leather armor and a soft gauze skirt was walking casually on the street with her head lowered in frustration... She seemed to be hiding something in her heart, and she was not in the same mood. As in the past, she went to appreciate the beautiful scenery and breathe the temporarily free air... She just rode the tall horse of her crown guard family with some boredom, letting it carry the female head of her family. Crowds of people wandered aimlessly on this stone street.
Perhaps due to the influence of its owner, it seems to be in a bad mood now. It usually raises its head and chest, but now it lowers its head sadly, half-squinting its big eyes, and follows its own rules. The mistress on its back moved its four hooves forward slowly along the same route as before.
"Why……"
Lacus has been feeling very distressed in the past two days...
Because, for some unknown reason, her brother Galen and her aunt Tiana suddenly decided that they wanted to marry her, Laxana, the Crown Guard of the Crown Guard family, into Germany. The royal family of Marcia, marry that prince Jarvan IV?
Of course, Prince Jarvan himself had seen him. He was tall, strong, handsome and powerful. He was also the only bloodline of the royal family, which meant that he must be the next king of Demacia!
but……
Lux still felt a little unhappy, or... could it be said to be worried?
First of all, she was not very familiar with Prince Jiawen. She had met with him very few times and had hardly spoken to him. Apart from saying hello and basic salutes, she had not even interacted with that low-key royal member. I've never been alone, or on a date, or anything like that!
She didn't know much about him except that he was a good friend of her brother Galen, that he fought bravely and was a powerful warrior. Basically, she and him were two parallel lines. She slept with different people. If her brother and aunt hadn't mentioned it, she would never have thought of such a thing.
Secondly,
Lux herself is not an ordinary girl from the Crown Guard family. She has a terrible secret of her own. Once it is leaked...
Therefore, when she was shocked that her brother and aunt were suddenly going to marry her off, she also felt very uneasy at the same time!
Not only because of what she was just thinking about, but also because of her own big secret...
Because she didn't know that if the other party knew all her secrets and knew that she was a magician and had been infected with magic since she was very young... would the royal family be embarrassed by this? , and then, in anger, threw her to the demon seekers and the Light of Demacia to deal with?
Lacus didn't know about this and didn't dare to think too much about it...
"How great would it be if I could stay at home, or if the Kingdom of Demacia could be a little more peaceful and stop persecuting mages and eradicating isolation magic?"
"only……"
"Why!"
After thinking about it, Lux sighed heavily again.
It is conceivable, and there is no doubt that once she really succumbs to the nonsensical arrangement of her brother Galen and her aunt Tiana, even if she succeeds in marrying Prince Jarvan, her own That little secret will definitely be discovered by those close to you when the time comes. That will definitely happen!
At that time, will they choose to protect themselves and acquiesce in the existence of her and the magic in her body, or will they choose to hand her over in order to maintain the dignity of the law and maintain the dignity of the royal family?
She knew nothing about this...
But it is conceivable that here in the Kingdom of Demacia, after the terrible rune war thousands of years ago, and after a long period of banning magic, magic has almost become innate... and once she, Lux If she is confirmed to be a magician, I am afraid that the royal family will definitely not take the risk of the descendants of the royal family being infected with magic and continue to tolerate her existence, thus bringing shame to the entire royal family and shaking the foundation of the royal family's rule. of!
The current Kingdom of Demacia will definitely not be able to accommodate a magician prince and concubine, nor will it be able to accommodate a demon-tainted Jarvan V! !
So, Lux is really distressed now. She doesn't know what she should do...
But she knew that if there was no good way to deal with the increasingly uncontrollable magic power in her body and the 'light' that was not accepted by outsiders, she would definitely not end well!
The growing power hidden in her body is the source of her misfortune!
By then, whether she rejects the good intentions of her brother and aunt, or succumbs to their wishes and marries into the royal family, the outcome will definitely not be good! Anyway, Lux definitely doesn't want to be imprisoned in a magic-forbidden prison by those demon hunters, and then force-fed the magic-forbidden stone potion by those rude guards every day, or simply be exiled to the depths of the Valoran continent. , be directly expelled from Demacia?
But……
Even if she doesn't want to do that and cause trouble to others, does she really have no good solution... The power in her body is like a curse, entangling her deeply and making her... She has always had a terrible feeling of suffocation... and it has become increasingly difficult to suppress recently. Even if she has tried every means to suppress or completely eradicate it, she still has no clue.
"Um?"
"It's strange, those people... what are they doing there?"
Lux was wandering around, thinking and soothing her depressed mood. Suddenly, she looked up and saw a lot of people gathering and noisy in front of a notice wall, pointing out. Pointing and discussing loudly, not knowing exactly what they were doing.
So, after hesitating for a while and feeling a little curious, she slightly pinched her long legs in tight leather pants and began to actively ride her horse forward, planning to go and see what was going on?
Reward notice
Yesterday, in the ruins of the Rune War in the south of the city, many preyed and precious carcasses of Demacian dragonbirds were discovered! After identification, those precious dragon birds were suspected to have been burned to death by vicious magic... The perpetrators' methods were extremely cruel, and the level of magic threat was also extremely high...
Therefore, any Demacian citizen who knows about this matter and reports it to the Demon Seeker or the Light of Demacia will receive a heavy reward of one hundred Demacian gold coins...
announce! !
There seemed to be only that one newly posted notice. After just a few glances, Lux read it all and didn't think there was anything too strange. As for the old and expired ones, she just looked at them. Didn't read much.
"..."
How strange!
Lux doesn't quite understand why such a simple new post of a bounty announcement attracts so many people to watch here?
In short, as far as she knew, whether it was the magic seekers or those in the Light of Demacia, they often offered rewards to capture any people or mages whose traces were exposed by their discovery of magic and magic removal! But now, it seems that this is just a mage attacking a few dragon birds. It seems that it should not attract so many people to watch and stop here.
"ah!!"
However, before Lux could figure it out, she turned her head and saw another scene that made her feel worried:
On another bulletin board, surrounded by a crowd, there was a group of demon hunters and a large number of Demacia soldiers escorting two large prison cars! Inside, there were a group of men, women, and children with very depressed expressions, and some even sobbing with tears... Lux could tell from their clothes that those children must be a group of Dema. People from the Kingdom of West Asia!
However……
At this moment, their poor and helpless little guys are being locked up in the prison car, waiting for handover like a group of lambs to be slaughtered. Then, they will definitely be locked up in the secret text that she once saw. In the terrifying forbidden magic prison next to the pavilion, they are waiting for the trial of the law and the unfair judgment on their fate.
And this is obviously the real reason why so many people gathered here to watch and point fingers!
Because, most of the children who were imprisoned in the prison van, or even all of them, would not be able to come back again... Because, Lux herself also knew that all the children who were taken away by the Demon Searchers People who never come back will never come back!
She had never heard of a case where demon hunters were arrested by mistake or in violation of regulations, so there was no doubt that those arrested were Demacian citizens infected with demons!
Those people, most of them, were either imprisoned in the Forbidden Prison and tortured, or they were exiled to the interior far away from the Kingdom of Demacia to fend for themselves...or, they were directly 'inadvertently' Die in a dank, dark cell without seeing the light of day?
"..."
Lux looked at the children who were imprisoned in the prison car. The more she looked at it, the more sad and sad she became. Because she was proud. She and them seemed to be the same kind of people?
And she always felt...
If she doesn't have a good way to conceal the increasingly powerful 'power' in her body in the future, she will definitely be like those helpless children not far away. Was he arrested by the Demon Searchers and imprisoned in the Demon Forbidden Prison?
By then, I'm afraid no one can help her!
Not even her brother Galen, who dotes on her the most, not her aunt Tiana, not even... not even the protection of her Crownguard family, which has been passed down for thousands of years and has unparalleled reputation and power! !
Maybe,
Should she have contact with that man, that Silas, who was imprisoned in that forbidden magic prison? After all, judging from the current situation, what the other party said seems to be correct. She must plan for herself early and get what she needs from the other party?
The current Kingdom of Demacia is heading towards an increasingly extreme path. If she cannot change the entire country, she must first change and protect herself!
As for Silas, he could see the difference in her at a glance and said so many words of reference value. Maybe it could really help her?
"stop!"
"Ma'am, please stay back and don't get close to the prison car!!"
Just as Lux was unconsciously driving her horse closer to the prison car in her thoughts and hesitation, wanting to have a clearer look at the children who were about to accept their tragic fate, a soldier wearing silver-white Demacian steel walked out. He came over, with a cold face, crossed the sharp spear in his hand, shouted orders, and blocked the path of her horse with the ax blade next to the spear point.
"..."
"I am the Crown Guard of Laxana. I want to know what is going on with these children? What I have seen is that many of them do not look dangerous, and they are still children. Why? Are they going to be imprisoned here?"
A group of children who don't seem to be very dangerous. Even if there is magic in their bodies, generally speaking, such benign 'disasters' should not be arrested and imprisoned. They only need to be observed and guided at any time. .
Therefore, Lux was very confused about this while feeling hesitant and sad!
"Ah! So she is the young lady of the Crown Guard family?"
"I'm really sorry. Please forgive me for not seeing your family crest clearly just now..."
When the soldier heard Lux's words and saw the emblem on the harness and breastplate of the opponent's horse, he quickly stood up, retracted his weapon and spear and bent down to salute.
"..."
However, Lux did not pay attention to the soldier's attitude, but continued to frown, looking at the group of people imprisoned in the prison car, their spirits were listless, and there were even many girls who were sobbing softly and crying. The 'prisoners' whose eyes were planted.
Now she just wants to know why they were imprisoned in the prison car with these drawings!
She clearly remembered that the Kingdom of Demacia should be relatively tolerant of children with this kind of benign 'disaster'. As long as they did not show threats and use their body's abilities, they should not be arrested by the demon hunters. He shouldn't be detained here like he is now!
"Report to Miss Crown Guard!"
"The thing is like this...these children infected with demons are...the 'prisoners' hunted by demon hunters from the small town of Maitrich and the surrounding villages, because their diseases are likely to cause They become a mage, so..."
"Although we also know that most of them have not committed any wrongdoing, although most of them are still children and have not caused any trouble to anyone, but you may not know that the law has changed now …”
"The top leaders of the kingdom are discussing a law: any citizen known to have magical abilities, whether benign or not, is required to be taken away for trial. All mages in the kingdom cannot make exceptions!"
"Therefore, we were ordered to assist the Demon Searchers and brought them to the capital, waiting to be taken into custody and tried by the Inquisition..."
At this point, the soldier said nothing more.
The law is the law, even though they are still children, but they have no choice...
The lessons that the Rune War a thousand years ago brought to the Kingdom of Demacia were really too painful. After all, the entire kingdom was formed by the refugees who survived that war. Therefore, for the sake of the kingdom, For the safety of the people, they have to do this for the survival of the people.
The current Kingdom of Demacia can no longer tolerate any magic!
At least, that's what it was like for the children who were discovered... They were arrested almost on the same day that the law was put into effect... In the future, when the law officially takes effect and is passed, there will definitely be more like this There are benign 'disasters', and children with magical powers will be taken away by demon hunters. This is a fact that can be foreseen now, and no one can try to change it!
"..."
Oh I see……
The law against citizens infected with demons has actually been changed again... and has it been changed to become even more stringent?
In shock and hesitation, Lux herself didn't know how she left those prison cars... Anyway, when she came to her senses, she and the horse under her crotch had already been removed from the crowd. The place where people gathered at the notice wall was squeezed out.
At this time, the horse under her was snorting slightly, with its head lowered, looking for grass in the gaps between the curb stones on the side of the street, waiting for new orders from her master.
"magic……"
"Is it really that evil and scary?"
It may be that things hurt their own kind. When she saw those poor and helpless children being imprisoned in prison cars, waiting for their fate, Lux immediately thought that there was something more powerful in her body than those children. The magic power can't help but become more and more hesitant...
Moreover, she couldn't help asking questions to herself, lowering her head in her saddle and muttering something to herself.
"Magic is not scary!"
o(^｀)o
"Little sister, let me tell you, those guys who are hostile to magic are the most evil and terrifying people! You must be careful, if they see the power in your body, then you But it’s going to be really bad!”
o(_)o
Suddenly, a voice sounded beside Lux!
"!!"
who is it? !
When she heard those horrifying words, Lux, who was riding in the saddle, was so frightened that she staggered and almost fell directly onto the stone floor of the Demacia capital street.
Because she heard it...
Someone who was talking just now seemed to have completely seen through her and saw the power hidden in her body?
"I saw it, little sister, you are a mage, right?"
ψo
At this time, a clear little girl's voice rang out beside Lacus. Then, when Lacus came back to her senses in shock and immediately turned her head following the sound, she I was shocked to find that next to my horse and on the stone pillars of the street steps, there was sitting a little girl holding a piece of pancake in her hand, and looking at me while eating?
"you……"
"Who are you? No! How on earth do you know that?!"
After looking around and finding that no one was paying attention, Lux tried her best to lower her voice in panic and asked the other party cautiously.
Now, Lux didn't understand why this little girl with long blond hair and a cute appearance could easily see the power in her body and tell her that she was actually a The true identity of the mage?
This kind of thing is really strange, weird, and scary!
Because she was really sure that the power in her body had not lost control today, especially just now! Although her mood had been ups and downs at that time, and her concentration was a bit unfocused... However, she had always carefully controlled her powers and did not let them show up in front of those dangerous demon hunters!
She was sure of this! !
"You asked me how I knew?"
┗┛?
"Aha! That's of course because I'm the one over there...well...I'm the evil magician who roasted the dragon bird as mentioned in the reward notice!!"
o(*^^*)
A certain bad little girl shamelessly admitted some of the things she had done, and even showed off her pride by gesticulating to the young lady riding on the back of a tall horse in front of her that the other party could not understand. gesture.
In Little Annie's opinion, those Demacians over there are really stupid!
Look now, Queen Anne, the initiator of eating the Dragon Eagle, is just sitting here and watching the fun, but what can they do to her?
Those idiots, without a portrait, any other description, or even any clues, why do they think they can find her by just posting a piece of paper?
Let's see. Another day, if she has time, she can hunt some more of those dragon hawks and see what those bad Demacians can do to her?
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"..."
Looking dumbfounded at this little girl who claimed to be an evil magician, who also claimed to have eaten the dragon bird, the national treasure of the Kingdom of Demacia, and who even looked proud now, Lux didn't know what to say. Already...
She didn't understand, whose little girl was this little guy?
Does the other party know how risky it is to say such terrible things casually?
If she is discovered by the demon hunters not far away or heard by the people around her, the fate of this little girl will definitely be worse than that of the children who are being held in the prison car waiting to be taken into custody. The land is much miserable!
"Eh?"
∑(△｀)? !
"Little sister, what does this strange expression of yours mean?"
('◇')?
"Um...you don't want to report me, do you? Let me tell you, if you dare to report me, I will tell you that you are a mage loudly! When the time comes, look Who among us will be more unlucky?"
ψ(*｀)o
Seeing the confused and changing expression on the other party's face, I thought that the other party was little Annie who wanted to go and tell the truth, so she quickly made a face and threatened the other party in a low voice.
She was definitely not joking!
If this strange young lady who has been suppressing her own strength really dares to report her, Queen Anne, so that she cannot play and eat in this city, then she will also reveal the other party's identity. Let the other party be imprisoned in that shabby prison car like those pitiful little brats!
"ah!!"
"No! I never thought about reporting you, I promise!!"
How could Lux do something that was harmful to others but not self-interested?
She was just shocked that this strange little girl dared to tell the identity of the opponent's magician so easily and saw through her own true identity at once. She had absolutely no other ideas, and she didn't dare to have any!
"It's better if you don't have it!"
o(^｀)oHmph!
"Well……"
(.._..)
Since this young lady, who was also a mage, had no intention of causing trouble for herself, Anne didn't care. Then, she once again turned her attention to the crowds in the distance and the prison cars.
Now, she finally understood why Sister Sona was so anxious to leave the capital of Demacia as soon as possible yesterday. It turned out that those people were really a group of bad guys who persecuted mages? Even those hateful guys like them are not even willing to let children go?
Therefore, Queen Anne decided to teach those hateful Demacians a profound lesson! We must also let them know the greatness of magic! !
Of course, she didn't plan to directly save those poor little kids (even though she was a little kid herself?), nor did she plan to use her own strength to crush them. She planned to stay here well, Have some fun with these bad guys from Demacia and make them pay for their evil deeds?
But...
What to do, she hasn't thought about it yet... Maybe, she can consider opening a magic school on the mountain opposite the Demacia capital, in a place visible from the entire city. In fact, those in Demacia Bad guys?
Then, by the way, you can also help the bad guy Amorin in the family with her lies to deceive children?
(…)
"Sister, it's getting late, I have to go home now!"
(o^-^)o
"I live in the Bouvier Manor on the opposite mountain. My name is Anne, Anne Hasta! If you want to learn magic to fight those bad guys, you can come to me at any time. You can learn it for free!"
(^)☆
Anne hadn't figured out how to deal with those bad guys in Demacia yet, so she blinked and stuck out her tongue at the silly young lady riding on the horse in front of her. After making a big grimace, as soon as he stood up, he disappeared as if he had never appeared again.
"!!"
"how come?!"
He looked at the little girl who disappeared in front of him in an instant, and then turned around to see that there was nothing strange about the others around him. For some reason, after being surprised, Lux's heart was beating wildly... It seemed to want to jump out...even, along with the powers in her own body, there were faint signs of being unable to control it?
Maybe, that little girl can give herself more answers, even more than Silas who is imprisoned in the Forbidden Prison?
"..."
"Bouville Manor?"
Looking up at the mountains in the distance of the city, looking at the scattered buildings and manors dotted above, Lux barely suppressed the power that was about to burst out of her body, and then quickly patted the horse under her body. , planning to go back to his home first to avoid being discovered by those dangerous demon hunters in the distance.
'Step aside! Step aside! '
'Everyone get out of the way immediately! ! '
When little Annie left, and when Lux patted her horse and turned away in a hurry, another group of Demacia soldiers wearing silver-white armor and blue tabards arrived, and they drove away the onlookers arrogantly. The citizens of Marcia then shouted and ordered the horses pulling the prison carts to escort the newly captured 'little prisoners' contaminated with magic towards the magic-forbidden prison...
Soon, amidst the noises of the citizens, the gloating and pointing, the shouts of the soldiers as they left to maintain order, and the cries of the 'little prisoners' who were imprisoned in the prison vans, this place was originally The place where many onlookers gathered was calm again.
The capital of Demacia, the 'City of Light' praised by Runeterra, is still so beautiful and peaceful...
