And if the land were to fall into lawless chaos again, they would be sure that the protector would once again descend from heaven. Vertex "
The Lighter smiled and looked down at Abulis.
"We are all to act with virtue and honor," she said, "from the king to the baker, from the servant to the soldier." Because no one is above the law, and no one is above justice. The marauders who invade our southern borders are lawless thugs. Every step they take, every breath they take, threatens the security of our land. The duty of the shield of Demacia is a great honor and a righteous endeavor. The protector will favor those who have righteousness in their hearts. ”
"Yes. Abulis said. He glanced at his sword, which had not been baptized by war. He swore that from the first sword he swung to the end of the last, every sword would be in the name of justice.
"Soldiers, whenever you feel hesitant, think about how the protector will behave. As long as you act in righteousness and truth, as a protector, then She will guide you by the sword. Even if you have to make it bloody. ”
The Illuminator bowed and returned to the temple.
Abulis looked at the candle he had lit in the darkness. He stood up and prepared to return to the camp for the night. He glanced back at the statue one last time, and he felt that in the depths of the Protector Stone Helm, he seemed to see another kind of fire.
"I took your life for the sake of honor. Although you have no honor to speak of, you still deserve to die. ”
~Peerless Sword Princess
Fiona is the most feared duelist in all of Valoran. She is known for her vigorousness, cunning and intelligence, and she is equally famous for her skill in wielding her blue steel sabre. Born into the Laurent family in the kingdom of Demacia, Fiona took over the family business from her father and saved the family from extinction in a scandalous situation. Although the majesty of the Laurent family is no longer there, Fiona has been working tirelessly to restore the family's glory and bring the name Laurent back to the nobility of Demacia.
Fiona is the most feared duelist in all of Valoran. She is known for her fierceness, cunning and intelligence, and is equally famous for her speed with which she wields her bluesteel sabre. Born into the Laurent family in the kingdom of Demacia, Fiona took over the family business from her father and saved the family from extinction in a scandalous situation. Although the majesty of the Laurent family is no longer there, Fiona has been working tirelessly to restore the family's glory and bring the name Laurent back to the nobility of Demacia.
From a very young age, Fiona disdained the expectations placed on her. Her mother enlisted the best craftsmen in Demacia to create her lifelike dolls. Fiona gave the doll to her maid and turned to pick up her brother's sword, forcing him to secretly teach her swordsmanship. Fiona's father hired a number of ingenious tailors to tailor the dress for her. Fiona used them as objects to practice thrusting and parrying.
At any stage of life, Fiona has the noblest character of Demacia. She strives for perfection in everything she does, and will not allow any insult to her honor and family motto. But as the youngest daughter of the Laurent family, she was destined to become a pawn in politics, acting as a tool for alliances in the political marriage between the ruling families. Fiona would not obey at all. With her temper, it would be humiliating to be at the mercy of her, even to her beloved father. Despite her best efforts, she was eventually arranged to marry a relative of the Crownguard family. The wedding was scheduled for the summer.
All of Demacia's historic families were represented at the Laurent family, but Fiona was not accustomed to resignation, but openly rebelled. At the ceremony, she announced in public in front of the audience that she would rather die than be disgraced by the control of her fate by others. The bridegroom-to-be suffered a great humiliation in full view of everyone. His family proposes a death duel to eliminate the uproar caused by Fiona.
Fiona immediately stepped forward. But as the head of the clan, it was her father's duty to take on the challenge of dueling. The Duel Representative of the Crownguard is a powerful and deadly warrior, and the Laurent family is almost certain to lose. Losing the duel would mean the fall of the Laurent family, and his daughter would be exiled in disgrace. Faced with such a difficult situation, Fiona's father made a decision that would bring shame on his family for years. That night, he tried to poison his opponent and slow down his opponent's moves. But his actions were discovered, and the patriarch of the Laurent family was arrested and arrested.
Demacia's laws are notoriously harsh. There is no room for manoeuvre in their justice, and Fiona's father has violated the most basic code of honor. He will be humiliated and spat on the gallows, and then hanged like ordinary criminals, and the entire family will be expelled from Demacia. On the eve of his execution, Fiona visited her father's cell, but only Fiona knew what they had said to each other.
There is one rule in the code of honor that is so old that it has been almost forgotten: a member of the family can pay the price of blood to wash away the shame. In this way, other family members escaped exile, which was effectively equivalent to the death penalty. Knowing that they had no choice, the father and daughter ended up standing face to face in the "Hall of the Swords". However, a just verdict is not as simple as killing the sinner, Fiona and her father must fight with all their might, and they must not slack off. The battle between them was lightning fast, and the swords intertwined as if dancing, and everyone present would never forget the scene. Fiona's father is not in vain, and Fiona is worthy of being the goalkeeper. Every time the two of them clashed, they said goodbye to each other, and in the end, Fiona buried the sword deep in her father's heart with tears in her eyes, preserving her family's continued existence in Demacia. With her father at her feet, Fiona became the new patriarch of House Laurent (much to the surprise of her brothers).
While the Laurent family has not completely lost its honor, gossip cannot be easily dispelled. In the years that followed, Fiona proved her talents as a patriarch and soon learned to avoid the mistakes of her youthful frivolity. Whether it's a duel without a blade or a negotiation of words and swords, Fiona is a worthy peerless swordsman.
