Demacia......

This magnificent capital has been called the 'City of Light' by the people of the rest of the rune world!

It is a utopia where everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, a paradise on earth away from magic and darkness!

The weather is good today,

Blue skies and white clouds, the golden bays of the Sea of Conquerors, the beautiful capital of Demacia, the beautiful city of Mithril, the neat streets, the crowds of people and horses, and the beautiful white castle buildings near and far, the uniform blue roofs of Demacia, the tall fountains, the majestic statues, all these elements are softened together, making this capital city of Demacia particularly charming......

however

At this time, a blonde woman in a white tight-fitting leather armor and a short skirt in a light gauze dress strolled down the street with her head down in frustration...... She seemed to have something hidden in her heart, and she was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery and breathe the air that was temporarily free, as she was in the past...... She rode her tall steed with some boredom, and let it carry the mistress of her family, wandering aimlessly down the stone street where the crowds frolicked and frolicked.

Perhaps under the influence of its own master, it does not seem to be in a good mood now, and it usually looks up and holds its chest up, but at this time it lowers its head cowardly, half-squints at the pair of big horse eyes, and slowly moves its four hooves forward according to the previous route of the mistress on its back.

"Hey......"

In the past two days, Lux has been feeling a little distressed.....

Because, I don't know what it was for, her brother Galen and her aunt Tiana suddenly decided to say: want to marry her Lux, the Laxana crown guard of the crown guard family, into the royal family of Demacia, and marry the prince Gavin IV?

Although, that Prince Gavin himself has seen that the other party is strong and tall, handsome and mighty, and at the same time the only blood of the royal family, which means that he must be the next king of Demacia!

But......

Lux still felt a little unhappy, or ...... Worried, so to speak?

First of all, she is actually not too familiar with that Prince Jiawen, the number of meetings is pitiful, and she has barely spoken many times, except for greetings and basic salutes, she has never even been alone with that low-key royal family, dating or something, that has never been!

Except for knowing that the other party was a good friend of her brother Galen, and knowing that the other party fought bravely and was a powerful warrior, she didn't know much about the other party, basically, she and him, the two of them were different people on two parallel lines, if it weren't for her brother and aunt mentioning it, she would definitely not have thought of such a thing.

secondly

She, Lux, is no ordinary Crownguard girl, she has her own terrible secrets, if they are revealed......

Therefore, for the kind of thing that her brother and aunt suddenly wanted to marry herself, she was not only shocked, but also felt very uneasy in her heart!

Not just 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, knew that she was a magician, and she had been infected with magic since she was very young...... Will the royal family be disgraced by this, and then in anger and angry, they will throw her to the Demon Seekers and the Light of Demacia?

Lux didn't know about this, and she didn't dare to think about it......

"Wouldn't it be nice if we could stay at home all the time, or if the kingdom of Demacia could be a little more peaceful and stop persecuting mages and eliminating isolation magic?"

"Just ......"

"Hey!"

Thinking about it, Lux sighed heavily again.

It is conceivable, and even undoubtedly, that once she really succumbs to the nonsensical arrangement of her brother Galen and her aunt Tiana, even if she really succeeds in marrying Prince Gawen, her little secret will definitely be discovered by those close to her at that time, and it will definitely happen!

At that time, will they choose to protect themselves and acquiesce to the existence of her and the magic in her body, or will they choose to hand her over in order to preserve the dignity of the law and maintain the dignity of the royal family?

She didn't know anything about it......

But it is conceivable that here in the kingdom of Demacia, after the terrible rune war of a thousand years ago, after a long period of forbidden demons, magic has almost become innate...... And once she Lux is confirmed to be a magician, I am afraid that the people of the royal family will definitely not risk the descendants of the royal family also becoming enchanted, continue to tolerate her existence, and then disgrace the entire royal family, and then shake the foundation of the royal family's rule!

The current kingdom of Demacia will definitely not be able to tolerate a magician prince and princess, and it will definitely not be able to tolerate a demon-stained Gavin V!!

So, now Lux is really distressed, and 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 in her body and the kind of 'light' that was not accepted by outsiders, she would definitely not end well!

The growing power hidden in her body is the root of her misfortune!

At that time, whether she refuses the kindness of her brother and aunt, or submits to the other party's wishes and marries into the royal family, the result will definitely not be too good! Anyway, she Lux definitely didn't want to be imprisoned in the Forbidden Demon Prison by those demon seekers, and then be forcibly poured with that forbidden magic stone potion by those rude guards every day, or simply be exiled to the depths of the Valoran continent and directly expelled from the home of Demacia?

But......

Even if she doesn't want to be like that, she doesn't want to bother others, but she really doesn't have any good way...... The power in her body, like a curse, had been wrapping around her deeply, making her feel a terrible feeling of suffocation all the time...... Moreover, it has become more and more difficult to suppress lately, and even if she has tried her best to suppress it or completely eradicate it, she has no clue at all.

"Huh?"

"Strange, those people...... What are they doing there? ”

Lux, who was strolling around, thinking and soothing her boredom, suddenly looked up and saw a lot of people gathering and making noise in front of a bulletin wall, pointing and discussing loudly, not knowing what they were doing.

So, after hesitating for a while, she also felt a little curious, her long legs in tight leather pants were slightly clamped, and she began to take the initiative to ride her horse and move forward, intending to take a look?

Bounty Notice

Yesterday, in the ruins of the rune war in the south of the city, the remains of the precious Demacian dragon birds that were preyed on were found! After identification, the precious dragon birds were suspected to have been burned to death by vicious magic...... The perpetrators are extremely cruel and magically threatening......

As a result, any citizen of Demacia who knows about this and reports it to the Demon Seeker or the Light of Demacia will be rewarded with a hefty reward of one hundred Demacia Gold Coins......

Notice is hereby given!!

The newly posted notice seemed to be only that one, and after just a few glances, Lux read it, and she didn't think there was anything too unusual, and as for the old ones and expired ones, she didn't read them much.

“……”

It's weird!

Lux didn't understand why such a simple new post bounty notice would attract so many people to watch here.

Anyway, as far as she knew, both the Demon Seekers and the people in the Light of Demacia often offered bounties for anyone or mage who caught any magic they found and removed it from magic! And now, it looks like it's just a mage attacking a few dragon birds, and it doesn't seem like it should attract so many people to stop here.

"Ahh

However, before Lux could figure it out, as soon as she turned her head, she saw another scene that made her feel worried:

On the other side of the bulletin board, surrounded by the crowd, a group of demon seekers and a large number of Demacian soldiers were escorting two large prisoner carts! Inside, there is a group of boys and girls with very depressed expressions, and even some men and girls who are sobbing with tears...... Lux could tell from their clothes that those children must be a group of people from the Kingdom of Demacia!

However......

At this moment, their poor and helpless little ones were being locked up in the prison car, waiting for the handover like a herd of lambs to the slaughter, and then they would definitely be locked up in the terrible forbidden prison next to the Secret Chamber that she had seen, waiting for the judgment of the law, waiting for the unfair verdict of their fate.

And this is obviously the real reason why so many people gather here to watch and point fingers!

Because, those children who were held in prison cars, most of them, if not all of them, could not come back..... because Lux himself knew that all the people who were taken away by the demon seekers never returned!

She had never heard of a Demon Seeker being caught by mistake or in violation of the law, so there was no doubt that those who were caught were Demon Raided Demacian citizens!

Those people, most of them, were either tortured in the Forbidden Prison or exiled to fend for themselves far from the kingdom of Demacia...... Or, just by 'inadvertently' dying in a damp, dark, dayless cell?

“……”

Lux looked at the children in the prison car, and the more she looked at it, the more sad and sad she became, because she was proud, and she and they seemed to be the same kind of people.

And she's always felt ......

If in the future, if she doesn't have a good way to hide the increasingly powerful 'power' in her body, it must not be long before she herself will be arrested and imprisoned in the forbidden demon prison by the demon hunters, just like those helpless children not far away, right?

At that time, I'm afraid no one will be able to help her!

Even her brother Galen, who doted on her the most, couldn't do it, and her aunt Tiyana couldn't, or even ...... Not even the protection of her crown guard family, which has been passed down for thousands of years and has supreme prestige and power!!

Maybe

The man who was imprisoned in that forbidden prison, that Silas, should she touch again? After all, judging from the current situation, the other party's words seem to be correct, she must plan for herself early and get what she needs from the other party?

The current kingdom of Demacia is walking on an increasingly extreme road, if she can't change the whole country, then she must first change and protect herself!

And that Silas, he saw the difference between her and herself at a glance, and said so many valuable words, presumably, maybe it could really help her?

"Stop!"

"Ma'am, please stand back and don't go near the prisoner cart!!"

Just as Lux was unconsciously instigating her horse to approach the prisoner cart in her contemplation and hesitation, to see more clearly and to see the children who were about to accept their tragic fate, a soldier dressed in silver-white Demacia steel approached, and with a cold face, he waved the sharp spear in his hand, and shouted orders, blocking the path of her horse with the axe blade next to the tip of the spear.

“……”

"I'm Laxana's corona, and I want to know, what the hell is going on with these children? I've seen that a lot of them don't look dangerous, and they're all children, but why are they being held here? ”

A group of children who don't seem to be very dangerous, even if there is magic in their bodies, but generally speaking, this benign 'plague' should not be arrested and imprisoned, just need to be observed and guided at any time.

Therefore, for this point, Lux is hesitant and sad, but also very puzzled!

"Ahh It turned out to be the young lady of the crown guard family? ”

"I'm really sorry, please forgive me for not seeing your family crest clearly......"

When the soldier heard Lux's words, and saw the insignia on the chest guard of the opposing horse, he quickly straightened up, withdrew his weapon, his spear, and bowed in salute.

“……”

However, Lux did not pay attention to the soldier's attitude, but continued to frown, looking at the group of 'prisoners' who were held in the prison car, their spirits were sluggish, and even many of the girls were still sobbing in low voices, crying so much that their eyes were planted.

All she wanted to know now was why they were being held in a prison car!

She clearly remembered that the kingdom of Demacia should be more tolerant of the children of this benign 'plague', as long as they did not show threats and use the abilities in their bodies, they should not be arrested by the demon seekers, and they should not be detained here like now!

"Report to Miss Crownback!"

"Here's the thing...... These demon-stained children are ...... It's the 'criminals' that the Demon Seekers have hunted down from the town of Mytridge and the surrounding villages, as their plague is likely to turn them into mages, so ......"

"Although we also know that most of them have not committed any wrongdoing, and although most of them are still children and have not caused trouble to anyone, you may not know that the law has changed ...... now."

"The higher-ups of the kingdom are deliberating a law: any citizen known to have magical abilities, whether benign or not, must be taken away for trial, and all mages in the kingdom cannot be exempted!"

"Yes, we were ordered to assist the Demon Hunters and brought them to the national capital, where they await their detention and trial by the Inquisition......"

At this point, the soldier said no more.

The law is the law, even if they are still children, but there is nothing they can ......

The lesson that the rune war a thousand years ago brought to the kingdom of Demacia was really too painful, after all, the entire kingdom was formed by the refugees who survived the war that year, so for the safety of the kingdom and the survival of the people, they had to do this.

The current kingdom of Demacia has long been unable to tolerate any magic!

At least, that's how it was for the children who were discovered...... They were arrested almost on the same day that the law was put into force...... In the future, when the law officially comes into effect and is passed, there will definitely be more such benign 'disasters', and children with magical powers will be taken away by the demon seekers, which is a fact that can be foreseen now, and no one can try to change more!

“……”

It turns out that it is like this......

The kind of law against citizens who have been infected with demons has been changed again...... Moreover, it has been changed to be more harsh?

Stunned and hesitant, Lux herself didn't know how she had gotten out of the prison carts...... Anyway, by the time she came to her senses, she and the horse under her crotch had been squeezed out of the place where the crowd had gathered.

At this moment, the horses under her were snorting slightly, bowing their heads, looking for grass in the crevices of the roadside stones in the side streets, waiting for new orders from her master.

"Magic ......"

"Is it really that evil and terrible?"

Probably because of the physical injury, when she saw the poor and helpless children being held in the prison van waiting for the verdict of fate, Lux immediately thought of the magic in her body that was even more powerful than those children, and she couldn't help but become more and more hesitant......

Moreover, she could not help but ask herself questions, and whispered her head in her saddle and muttered to herself.

"Magic isn't scary!"

o(^｀)o

"Little sister, let me tell you, those guys who are hostile to magic, they are the most evil and terrible people! Be careful, if they see the power in your body, you're in for a bad luck! ”

o(_)o

Coldly, a voice rang out beside Lux!

“！！”

Who is it?!

At first hearing those horrific words, Lux, who was riding in the saddle, staggered, and almost fell headlong to the stone floor of the main street of the capital city of Demacia.

Because, what she heard......

Someone who was just talking seemed to see through her completely, seeing the power hidden in her body?

"I saw that, young lady, you're a mage, aren't you?"

ψo

Then a little girl's crisp voice sounded beside Lux, and then, when Lux came back to her senses in astonishment, and turned her head to follow the sound for the first time, she was astonished to find that beside her horse, on the stone pier of the steps of the street, was sitting with a pancake in her hand, and looking at her little girl while eating?

"You ......"

"Who are you? Wrong! How the hell do you know?! ”

After looking around and seeing that no one was noticing, Lux tried her best to lower her voice in panic and asked the other party vigilantly.

Now, Lux couldn't understand why this little girl with long blond hair and looked so well-behaved and lovely could easily see the power in her own body, and even reveal her true identity as a mage in one bite.

This kind of thing, is it really weird, weird, and terrifying!

Because she was really sure just now, today, the power in her body has never gotten out of control, especially just now! Although, at that time, her mood had ups and downs, and her concentration was a little unfocused...... However, she had been careful to control her powers, and she had not allowed them to show themselves in front of the dangerous demon seekers!

She's sure of that!!

"How do I know, you ask?"

┗┛？

"Aha! That's because I'm the one over there, of course...... Not...... I'm the evil magician who roasted the dragon bird as mentioned in the bounty notice!! ”

o(*^^*)

A nasty little girl didn't have the shame to admit some of the things she had done, and showed off her general gesture to the young lady in front of her who was riding on the back of a tall horse, and the other party didn't understand the smug gesture.

In Little Annie's opinion, those Demacians over there, they are really stupid!

Look at it now, the initiator of the dragon eagle, she, Queen Anne, is sitting here and watching the excitement now, but what can they do with her?

Why do those fools, with no portraits, no other descriptions, and even fewer clues, think they can find her if they stick a piece of paper out?

We'll see, another day, if she has time, go hunt some more of those dragon eagles, and see what their villains Demacians can do with her?

（…… ）

(●￣￣●)

“……”

Stunned to see this little girl who claimed to be an evil magician, who claimed to have eaten the dragon bird, the national treasure of the kingdom of Demacia, and even now had a smug face, Lux didn't know what to say......

She didn't understand, whose little girl was this little guy?

Does the other party know how risky it is to say such a terrible thing casually?

If she had been discovered by the demon seekers not far away or heard by the people around her, the fate of this little girl would have been much more miserable than that of the children who were being held in a prison van waiting to be taken in!

"Huh?"

∑(△｀)？！

"Little sister, what do you mean by this strange expression?"

(‘◇’)?

"That...... You don't want to report me, do you? I'll tell you, if you dare to report me, I'll tell you out loud that you're a mage! When the time comes, let's see which of the two of us will be more unlucky? ”

ψ(*｀)o

Seeing the suspicious and changing face on the other party's face, he thought that the other party was little Annie who wanted to run to tell the secret, so he quickly bluffed his face and whispered a threat to the other party.

She's definitely not joking!

If this strange young lady who had been suppressing her power really dared to report her Queen Anne and make her unable to play and eat in this city, then she would also reveal the identity of the other party, and let the other party be imprisoned in that tattered prison car like those poor little children!

"Ahh

"Nope! I never thought to report you, I promise!! ”

How could Lux do such a thing that harms others and is not beneficial to herself?

She was just shocked that this strange little girl dared to say her identity as a mage so easily and saw through her own details at once, she definitely didn't have any other ideas, and she didn't dare to have them!

"It's good if you don't have it!"

o(^')o hum!

"Hmm......"

(.. _..)

Since the young lady, who was also a mage, didn't have the idea of causing trouble for herself, Anne didn't bother, and then she turned her gaze again to the crowd and the prisoner carts in the distance.

Now, she finally knew why Big Sister Sana 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 villains who persecuted mages? Even, their kind of hateful guys, even children are not willing to let go?

So, Queen Anne, she decided to teach those hateful Demacians a profound lesson! Be sure to let them know the greatness of magic!!

Of course, she didn't plan to go straight to the rescue of the poor little kids (even though she was a little kid herself?). She doesn't plan to use her own strength to crush her, she plans to play well here, with these Demacian villains, and make them pay the price for their evil deeds?

But well......

What to do, she hasn't figured out yet...... Perhaps, she could consider opening a magic school on the hill opposite the capital of Demacia, in a place where the whole city can be seen, in fact, those Demacian villains?

Then, by the way, you can also help the villain at home, Amoline's mother, round out the kind of nonsense that deceives children?

（…… ）

"Little sister, it's not too early, I'm going home now!"

(o^-^)o

"I live in that Bouvier manor on the hill opposite, and my name is Annie, Anne Hasta! If you want to learn magic to fight those bad guys, you can always come to me and learn it for free! ”

(^)☆

Anne hadn't figured out exactly what to do with those Demacian villains, so after winking at the stupid young lady who was riding on the back of a big horse in front of her, she made a big grimace with her tongue out, and as soon as she stood up, she disappeared as if she had never appeared again.

“！！”

"How so?!"

looked at the little girl who disappeared in front of him in an instant, and then turned to look at the other people around him without any abnormality, and I don't know why, after being surprised, Lux's heart was constantly beating wildly...... It seems to want to jump out...... Even, along with the power in her own body, there are faint signs that she can't control it?

Perhaps, that little girl, will be able to give herself more answers, even more than the Silas who is imprisoned in the Forbidden Prison?

“……”

"Bouvier Manor?"

Looking up at the mountains in the distance of the city, looking at the scattered buildings and manors dotted on them, Lux barely suppressed the power that wanted to erupt from his body, and then quickly patted the horse under him, intending to go back to his home first, lest his strange appearance be discovered by those dangerous demon seekers in the distance.

'Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ’

'Everyone get out of the way at once!!' ’

When little Anne left, and when Lux hurriedly turned away with her steed, another group of Demacian soldiers dressed in silver-white armor and blue robes arrived, and they brutally drove away the onlookers of Demacia, and then shouted and let the horses pulling the prisoner carts escort the newly captured magic-tainted 'little prisoners' in the direction of the forbidden prison......

Soon, in the midst of the commotion of the townspeople, the schadenfreude of pointing and pointing, the shouts of the soldiers as they left in order, and the cries of the 'little prisoners' who were held in the prison vans, the place where many onlookers had gathered was once again calm.

The capital of Demacia, the 'City of Light' as it is praised by the Runeterra, is still so beautiful and peaceful......
