During the last war, Riven traveled to Ionia with the army. Her regiment was assigned to escort another regiment through the warring zone of Navoli province.

The soldiers' invasion was resisted by the Will of the Earth, and in a storm, Riven and the others were trapped in the valley by a mudslide, and the warriors of Ionia appeared to encircle them.

Unable to resist the enemy's attack, Riven asks for reinforcements from the leader of the friendly warband, but is answered by a flaming arrow that detonates everything.

She had no idea that the escort was a chemical weapon made by the alchemist of Zaun, which swept through the valley as soon as it was ignited. The chemical flames not only burned the warring sides, but also defiled the land.

Rui Wen was protected by the great sword she carried, and was not swept into the scorching poisonous mist. It was a blackstone rune blade that had been given to her by Brond Darkwell himself, and it was something Karn had asked her to give up.

Betrayed, Rui Wen has developed a hatred for the Empire, and has begun to hate the great sword given by the Emperor in her hand, even if it has just saved her life.

The storm caused Riven to have a high fever, and the strong mood swings affected her mind, causing her to recall bits and pieces of debris and nightmares about what happened next.

She arrived at the unguarded Tempest Kenjuku in a state of confusion, and Yasuo had just left the kenshu to join the war, unaware of the eerie battlefield she was about to see.

By mistake, Rui Wen came to Elder Suma and asked him to help him break the rune sword.

The Elder saw her repentance and agreed to help the lost warrior regain balance. Using his hand as a sword, he broke the blade with the Wind Sword Technique.

But the rune greatsword was nothing extraordinary, and a small fragment of the blade that flew flew deep into Elder Soma's cervical vertebrae, killing him instantly.

Rui Wen didn't expect such a thing to happen, and the first thing she thought about in a panic was to escape.

She shoved the shattered sword into the scabbard, wrapped it in a bandage, and left the kenshu overnight. She wandered aimlessly on the ground on a rainy night, and finally fainted in the farmland with a high fever, and was rescued by the Conde family.

And Elder Soma died under his own Wind Sword Technique, so Yasuo, the only one who knew Wind Sword Skills and happened to leave his post without permission, was also regarded as a murderer and fled to this day.

Yasuo was guided by Karn to find the bonesmith who had disposed of Elder Soma's corpse, and retrieved the blade fragment that had been stuck in his cervical vertebrae.

The enchanted fragments are connected to each other, and it is through this connection that Yasuo finds the great sword and painful memories that Riven hides in the barn of the farmhouse and does not want to mention again.

He wanted to ask Rui Wen privately to find out everything, but the bone washer was brought to trial about Yasuo's threat. The guards came to hunt down Yasuo, but when they didn't catch him, they found the great sword hidden.

This kind of Noxus evil weapon was enough to attract attention, so Jian and Rui Wen were arrested, and after a trial, Rui Wen confessed, and the truth was finally revealed.

Riven and Yasuo talked about it one by one, and Karn added some missing details, roughly restoring what happened at that time

The other three were all deep in thought after listening to them.

Kai'Sa began to understand why Yasuo couldn't accept this result, Elder Soma died so bizarrely, a master of swordsmanship shouldn't die so hastily. And this result led to him being framed, and in the process of fleeing, he made mistakes again and again.

But he couldn't blame anyone, and in the end, he could only blame himself for leaving his post without permission and failing to fulfill his responsibility to protect the elders.

On the other side, Father Asa and Mother Shawar grabbed each other's hands.

They didn't know too many details about this matter, only what happened after they picked up Rui Wen, and the three of them said it many times clearer than the court questioned.

They didn't even know that Ruiwen was actually related to the polluted land a few mountains away, but they knew that Ruiwen was bent on repentance and wanted to get rid of Noxus.

For them, as long as Riven wants to atone for her sins and wants to pay back, that's enough.

"Riven didn't mean to kill the Elder, it was all an accident, and she's already paying for her sins. We have lost two sons in this war, and there are already so many deaths, so don't add any more casualties. As long as Riven doesn't dislike us, we'll still treat Riven as our Daida. Sava grabbed Riven's hand and firmly supported her, and they leaned together, tears silently streaming down their faces.

Rui Wen, she must carry the hope of the two old people and rebuild this broken family.

And this dress on her body is their modest gift of hope.

She had imagined it more than once—two young men in the suit standing next to two old men, probably a head taller than her, perhaps with the smile of Sava or the kind eyes of Asa.

Every time she thought about it, the weakness in her heart would be touched, and at the same time, she felt that the sin was getting deeper and deeper.

"Again, we're not here to get into trouble, we're not here to go after that. Let the past pass, and we're here to remind Riven with kindness to give up the sword. Karn explained, he didn't want to make things so sad, as if it was Riven who they were going to take with them, not the broken sword.

Yasuo alone obviously couldn't say that Riven would hand over the broken sword to him, so Karn decided to intervene in the matter.

Only he knew that the story of the sword was not over yet.

"Why did you take away that broken sword, you wouldn't use it, and it would be a pile of broken copper and iron." Rui Wen had already hidden the broken sword and decided never to turn it out again, seeing the sword would only cause her endless pain.

"It's about the people around you, but maybe it will also turn up your painful memories, even if that's the case, do you want to listen?" Karn asked cautiously.

"I have the right to know." Rui Wen replied resolutely. The people around her are nothing more than two old people, and she is already trying to fit into this broken family, and she can't let it become incomplete.

"This matter still has to start with the rune sword, do you remember who gave you this sword?"

"Emperor Darkwell."

"Darkwell has stepped down, and now it is Generalissimo Svein who is at the helm of Noxus." Kai'Sa added.

Rui Wen was stunned for a moment, she obviously didn't know about this, her memory was always that the man who was in charge of Noxus.

"Also, who is the enchantment on the sword?" Karn asked again.

Riven didn't know what Karn was asking for, she struggled to remember all the details of that day's sword award, and replied uncertainly, "That's a pale-faced female mage in the cabinet...... I don't know anything else. ”
