Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 54 The Girl and the Queen

After accompanying Cassiopeia to deal with the nobles for a while, Li En pulled her to a small observation deck nearby.

Looking at the unobstructed scenery in the distance, this commanding view made Cassiopeia feel very relaxed and comfortable.

At the same time, the green plants on both sides block out the noise in the banquet hall and create a more private space for the two.

In this atmosphere, Cassiopeia's heartbeat gradually accelerated.

"Peya!"

"What's wrong? Brother Li En!"

Seeing that Cassiopeia seemed to be in a good mood, Li En asked, "Who told you when I disappeared?"

Cassiopeia was slightly startled, then she clenched her fingers tightly together, lowered her head and said with guilt: "Brother Li En, it was my fault before. I didn't arrange enough guards and let you suffer that kind of danger!"

"Woooooo~!"

"Hey, don't cry, I'm fine, I don't blame you at all!"

"You're lying. You look so pale now. You must be injured!"

"Ah this..."

After being pointed out by Cassiopeia, Li En was a little overwhelmed, but he couldn't say that it was caused by studying with a famous beauty for several days and nights.

"I'm really not injured. I look bad because I've been studying so hard these days!"

"Really...really?"

Cassiopeia raised her head slightly, with tears under her red eyes.

"Really! Stop crying, okay? Besides, it was just an accident!"

As Li En spoke, he took out the handkerchief prepared by the maid and wiped Cassiopeia's tears.

"Look, your makeup is all ruined by crying, little cat!"

"Brother Li En is annoying!"

Cassiopeia said this, but her body fell into his arms.

"Okay, okay, my bad! Who were the people I asked to give you the news?"

"Of course it's Safet!"

"Only Sapphire?"

Faced with Li En's questioning, Cassiopeia's heart moved.

"Oh, yes! There was another mercenary, but she had already left after I organized the search and rescue team! Is there any problem with her identity? How about I write a letter and ask Uzeris to issue a wanted notice?"

"Ah? It's nothing! I'm just asking about an insignificant person!"

Seeing Li En trying to stop him, Cassiopeia felt sorry that she didn't arrange someone to deal with him at that time.

"Okay, okay! I'll listen to Brother Li En!"

Cassiopeia nodded obediently.

The two chatted for a while, and Li En asked again: "Peyya, are you and Lord Du Kekao the only ones coming here today?"

"Mother still needs to rest, so she didn't come! As for my sister..." Cassiopeia smiled playfully, "Father didn't plan to bring her here at first, but after Peia's request, she still came!"

"That's it!"

Li En nodded, but he felt something was wrong with the situation. As the inheritor of Du Kecao's assassin skills, how could the other party look down on Katarina so much?

Was the impact of the last mission that serious?

Li En didn't believe that Du Kecao didn't notice the undercurrent hidden in this.

"By the way, I heard that Brother Li En and Sister Li En are good friends. Do you want to go meet her with Pei Ya?"

Seeing Li En frowning, Cassiopeia spoke directly, her smile bright and full of excitement.

"That's... okay!"

...

Diagonally above the small observation deck, Riven finally breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the two young men and women dressed in aristocratic attire finally leave.

As an orphan, she grew up in the most remote area of ​​the empire, which made her character very tough and different from ordinary girls.

She believed that the truly meaningful thing was to make Noxus greater, rather than indulging in love affairs like that noble girl, although that boy was quite pleasing to the eye.

But after thinking about it, Riven got up and moved to another more remote terrace.

...

Thinking of her sister's ugly face, Cassiopeia felt as comfortable as eating a bite of milk ice cream sprinkled with candied nuts on the hottest day in Uzeris.

Her excitement made her steps faster, until a lazy and elegant voice sounded.

"Ah, isn't this Li En? He has hooked up with another beautiful girl so quickly!"

The familiar voice made Li En's body stiffen, as if he had returned to his weak state.

"Iris..."

As soon as Li En finished speaking, Cassiopeia felt her arm loosen and Li En was pulled into her arms.

Iris, who was wearing high heels, was over 1.80 meters tall. Li En was currently only at her shoulders, so he could only lean on her chest in humiliation, feeling a bit like a little bird relying on her man.

Cassiopeia, whose male companion was snatched away in public, was immediately furious, but she did not do anything like pulling Li En, which would not only make her look like a shrew, but also embarrass Li En.

She looked carefully at the woman in front of her. The dark red dress looked very conservative, but the amazing curves it outlined were enough to attract everyone's attention.

This kind of meticulous scheming made Cassiopeia realize at a glance that the woman in front of her was a very difficult opponent.

Especially when she looked at the soft arc squeezed by Li En's head, her expression became even uglier.

After checking the opponent's situation in a flash, Cassiopeia smiled slightly, saluted gracefully and asked, "Hello, I am Cassiopeia du Kekao. I wonder which elder of Brother Li En this aunt is?"

"Auntie? Haha! Li En, who am I to you?"

Iris opened her folding fan to cover the lower half of her face and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Elise she's my old...Ouch!"

Li En felt a pain in his waist when he was halfway through his words. He looked up and met Iris's jewel-like red eyes.

"She is my sister! Don't you agree, Sister Iris?"

"Haha! Little Apple is so good!"

Iris said in a voice that only Li En could hear, and then gently let him go.

"Pea, this is the current head of the Kisira family! He is also an ally of our Reyes family!"

Li En said this while winking at Cassiopeia.

Seeing this, Cassiopeia immediately said obediently: "Peia greets Sister Iris!"

"Well, hello! You are so pretty and obedient, no wonder Li En left me to find you!"

"Sister Iris, you can't slander someone's innocence out of thin air!"

"What are you saying about slandering your innocence? Li En, weren't you with me day and night these past few days? You insisted on going back last night, saying that Hilda wanted to see you for something, but in fact, you wanted to see little Peya!"

Iris sighed softly, and continued with resentment in her tone: "Sure enough, men are like this. No matter how old they are, they won't cherish what they get!"

"Brother Li En, you..."

After hearing Iris's ambiguous words, Cassiopeia looked at Li En in disbelief.

"Hey! What the hell is going on? We are just learning arcane knowledge together! Please stop talking so weird!"

Li En's tone sounded a little mad and helpless, like a good person who was wrongly accused.

However, his somewhat pale face spoke louder than his explanation.

A nearby nobleman, who had a pale face and obvious black circles, had a playful smile on his face.

Feeling the excited, weird and envious gazes around him, Li En felt a little crazy. He could foresee how many outrageous stories would appear after tonight.

"Hahahaha!"

Suddenly, they both laughed at the same time.

Li En was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"Are you kidding me!?"

"Haha, who told you not to say hello to me after the ceremony?"

"Brother Li En, I'm sorry! It's all because of Pei Ya being too naughty!"

Li En glanced at the two girls who had become his allies without him noticing, and shook his head speechlessly: "Forget it, it's okay! Peya, let's go find Katarina!"

"My sister is on the terrace at the other end of the hall. Brother Li En, please go there by yourself! Pei Ya wants to chat with Sister Iris for a while, is that ok?"

"No problem, see you later! Goodbye, Sister Iris!"

Hearing that Cassiopeia wanted to stay, Li En said goodbye and left quickly.

These two people were too dark-hearted. An innocent boy like him couldn’t win over them, so he ran away.
