Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 268 Katrina: My Stupid Sister

After ending the remote conversation with Li En, Swain looked up at the man standing in front of the desk.

"Du Kecao, as you expected, Li En did take action.

Are you really willing to hand over the family you built to Li En?"

"Haha~! Of course don't worry, my daughter Cassiopeia is engaged to Li Enli, and legally speaking, Li En is qualified to take over.

Furthermore, as his teacher, I can trust Li En’s character.”

"Well, that's true."

Swain nodded slightly in acknowledgement.

After reaching a cooperation with Li En, Swain not only used the power of the secret demon 'Ram' to investigate the other party, but also arranged for his men to collect all of Li En's growth experiences.

Through these deeds, analyzed by Swain and his men.

To a certain extent, as long as it does not affect fundamental interests, Li En's moral level is so high that he is like a role model of Demacia.

Swain looked directly into Du Kokael's eyes, and the other's eyes also flashed a hint of scarlet.

"Next, it will be up to you to face the secret society in secret."

"Don't worry, sir. I will be careful."

"Well, Du Kecao, the Empire will never forget your contribution!"

...

"Master Li En, I won't bother you any more. I'll take my leave now!"

"Well, let's go."

Li En waved his hand, and the fully-armored commander who was originally going to confiscate the property quickly left the meeting hall with a group of soldiers.

"Brother Li En~!"

Cassiopeia looked up, hesitant.

"What's wrong, Peya?"

"This...I..."

"Well, since Lord Swain has handed over all of the Du Kecao family estates to me, you can just stay here as before. We are all family, so don't worry too much."

"Really? That's great. Thank you, Brother Li En~!"

Cassiopeia showed joy on her face, opened her arms, and hugged Li En tightly without hesitation.

Feeling Cassiopeia's wealth and generosity, Li En pinched her fair face.

"I came here so early in the morning that I didn't even have breakfast."

"Oh, hurry up, housekeeper, have someone prepare breakfast immediately!"

"Yes, miss!"

...

After spending a day at the Du Keao family manor, Li En declined Cassiopeia's invitation after dinner and left the manor with Riven and Berea.

After watching Li En's carriage leave the manor, Cassiopeia returned to the inner room of the meeting hall with a smile on her face.

"Miss, the matter has been investigated clearly. The master of the family did secretly mobilize the 'Blood Elite' last night."

"So was my father arrested, or..."

"According to the information collected below, the head of the family was not arrested, but he is missing!"

"Missing!?"

"Yes!"

To Cassiopeia's slightly surprised look, the butler presented the information collected by the spies.

After reading through it all in one breath, Cassiopeia breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I understand. You can go down. I'll be alone for a while."

"Yes, miss!"

After the butler left, Cassiopeia stared at the documents on the table, her eyes gradually becoming deep.

What is certain now is that the Du Cocao family, which relied on military industry to rise to prominence, is basically doomed to failure after losing Du Cocao.

If Li En hadn't come to the rescue, the entire family would have been liquidated by now.

However, as long as she can keep Li En firmly in her hands, the Du Kecao family will surely be able to enter the center of the empire again in the future.

And, it will also be in the name of Cassiopeia.

Thinking of this, Cassiopeia's lips curled up slightly.

"Ta! Tat! Tat!"

The undisguised sound of footsteps was heard, and Cassiopeia frowned slightly when she was interrupted.

"Didn't I say I wanted to...Katerina!? Why are you here?"

"Why, I can't come to this meeting hall?"

Katerina said with a sneer on her face.

"But it's true, some people say they want to be quiet for a while, but they hide in this room and smile foolishly!"

"Are you spying on me!?"

"Haha~! Peeping? No, you are too careless! Cassiopeia, you seem to have forgotten the state of the Du Kecao family and the turmoil that the Immortal Fortress is in now!

Based on your state just now, any third-rate assassin could easily stab a dagger into your heart!"

"I..."

Faced with Katarina's merciless words, Cassiopeia's expression froze.

Then she looked Katarina up and down, with a hint of sneer on her face.

"Hmph! Katerina, why are you so excited? I have my own plans, but you are so abnormal!

Could it be that Li En didn't bring you back to the Reyes family, and you lost your mind?"

"You...are talking nonsense!"

There was a hint of guilt in Katerina's tone.

Although it was Li En who was worried about Cassiopeia's safety, he asked Katarina to stay and look after her.

But there was one thing Cassiopeia was not wrong about. She was indeed a little unhappy because she couldn't stay with Li En, which was why she blamed her sister.

At that moment, Catalina also chose to tell the reason directly.

"Haha~! If you weren't so weak, why would I stay to look after you!"

“Ah!? Is that so…”

"Hehe~! I don't have to lie to you."

Katerina crossed her arms, preparing for Cassiopeia's thanks.

"Wow~! Brother Li En is so considerate~!"

"Um!?"

"What's wrong? Do you want me to thank you? Would you stay if it weren't for Brother Li En's arrangement?"

Cassiopeia raised her little face and looked at her sister with disdain.

Seeing this scene, Catalina laughed instead.

“Hahahaha~!”

"why are you laughing?"

"I'm laughing at you!"

Facing Cassiopeia's gloomy face, Katarina responded without hesitation.

“Cassiopeia, Cassiopeia! This is the first time I’ve seen you like this~!”

"What do you mean?"

"Is it Li En's excessive tenderness that makes you lose yourself, or does it allow you to liberate your innocence?

You don't seem to have the slightest respect for me, your sister?"

Katarina put away her smile and looked at Cassiopeia with her green eyes without a trace of emotion.

The chill ran through her body from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. Cassiopeia felt her muscles tense up and her body began to tremble slightly unconsciously.

Seeing this, Katarina retracted her momentum and slowly walked in front of Cassiopeia.

"Remember this humiliation, Cassiopeia, my foolish sister, whose beauty is but dust blown away by the winds of time.

Give up your unrealistic fantasy. In Noxus, only power is everything!"

After saying that, Catalina turned around and left gracefully.

"Plop~!"

"Huhuhu~!"

Cassiopeia sat down on the ground, breathing heavily due to the tension and shame in her heart.

After a while, Cassiopeia's breathing gradually calmed down.

"Power..."

Cassiopeia kept muttering the word "power" and her eyes gradually became deeper.
