Chapter Seventy-Two: I, Willing
After a brief silence, Lux appeared. There was silence, followed by a long silence, and all eyes were fixed on the beautiful shadow.
A white evening dress embellished with gems perfectly shows off Lux's figure, coupled with her beautiful face and jewel-like eyes, making her the most dazzling light. Is this an angel? No, she's more beautiful than an angel.
"It's so beautiful. This phrase involuntarily appeared in everyone's hearts, including Zoe.
Seeing such a beautiful sister, Galen actually cried, although it was rare, but he really shed tears!
Lux stood at the front with a faint smile, smiling and bowing slightly to everyone. From time to time, his gaze always looked at Ize, who was in the crowd and was amazed by her beauty.
Stupid, I don't know if you remember......
Ruiz closed his eyes, shook his head with a smile, and slowly walked over to Lux.
"Alright, now by our heroine's side, I will solemnly announce the next three important things. β
Ever since Lux appeared, the ballroom had become extraordinarily quiet.
"Number one, it's Lux's birthday, and it's that first point that brings us together. β
No one spoke. Quietly listening to Rhyse's announcement, most people's eyes were fixed on the beautiful Lux most of the time.
"Second, Lux has awakened the power of the bloodline given by the god who has blessed Demacia for thousands of years, and it has been determined not long ago that the power of the bloodline awakened by Lux is the third major elemental envoy in the bloodline of the god Demacia. β
As soon as these words came out, some people couldn't sit still. No matter who it is, as long as it is a Demacian, there must be the power of bloodline in the body. And the bloodline is also divided into good and bad, strong and weak, and the bloodline of the gods is the top existence of all the bloodlines in Demacia. What does it mean to be third in the bloodline of the gods? everyone knows how terrifying and powerful the Great Elemental Envoy is, no one will doubt it. If Lux's bloodline power really grows, Lux really controls it completely. Lux will definitely have the power to dominate the entire continent, and her status will also surpass the royal family, and she will also override the whole of Demacia.
Stared at by some people, Lux smiled uncomfortably.
"Dean Ruiz, are you really sure?" an old voice suddenly questioned.
Ruiz narrowed his eyes inadvertently, casting his trademark smile at the source of the sound. Ruiz recognized him, he was an elder in the ten families of Demacia, and his status was not high.
"We can wait until after Lux's birthday party is over. Ruiz was still smiling, but his voice smacked of rejection, and he knew what the elder who asked the question and the other people in the Ten Families who were staring at Lux with sharp and unkind eyes were thinking. Galen and Lux came from the noble and ancient Crownguard family, ranking last among the top ten families, because since the death of Galen's father and uncle, the Crownguard family has been excluded by the other nine families, if it weren't for the support and protection of Jiawen, who is the prince, I am afraid that even the title of "Ten Families" would be taken away. Now, Galen's brotherhood has become the next king's heir without any suspense, and if Lux's Great Elemental Bloodline is added, then the Crownguard family will probably rise among the top ten families, and those families who have targeted them before may not be so comfortable.
"Hmph. A cold snort full of energy sounded from the back, making those who were watching Lux unreservedly subconsciously retract their gaze, he didn't have a good impression of the other nine families.
"Let's continue," Rheze continued, smiling as he looked at Galen and the Ten Families who had been divided between him and Ann who were standing on the pillar, hugging their shoulders, "What's next...... I'd like to ask Izawa to come up and join me in the announcement. β
As he spoke, Ruiz clasped his hands lightly, and an ice-blue light shot out, and in the next moment, before he could react, Ize, who had a strange face, was already standing on the stage, standing beside Lux, who was slightly red,
"Come on, our hero, say something......" Ruiz smiled and patted Izawa on the shoulder.
"Uh, what are you talking about......" Feeling the sight of a pair of arrows that seemed to shoot him through, and the energy-filled fire at the back, Izawa took a step back, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"It's Lux's twentieth birthday...... Reze continued, ignoring Iza and his eyes twinkling.
"Twenty years old, twenty years old......" Hearing this, Izawa was immediately stunned, and Ryze didn't care about what he said later. "That means ......"
Izawa's memory has never been bad, and although he thought it strange before, when Ryze mentioned his "twentieth birthday", he already had in his mind the marriage contract that his father, who was the head of the Explorers' Guild, had told him before he died.
"Huh......" After a while, Ichizawa suddenly turned to Lux, whose little face was already completely red, "In other words, we are going to get engaged?!"
Ize's voice was loud, because he didn't expect it at all, and it was a sudden moment, so he didn't have time to control his voice.
Hearing this scream, Lux clutched the white gown tightly, lowered her head, pursed her lips, did not say a word, and her face turned red.
"This stinky boy...... I really want to hack him to death......" Galen's eyes were crimson flames, and he stared at Ize, who was still in a state of surprise, and said through gritted teeth.
Zoe licked the lollipop and swung her legs, her eyes revealing interest.
"Not bad. Ruiz smiled and clapped his hands, "This is a marriage contract between the former king of Demacia, Govin III, and your father, known as the legendary merchant and the former president of the Explorers' Guild. β
Some of the people present turned even worse when they heard about the engagement. Without any reservations, Ruiz let his voice reach the ears of everyone present, and he said this to mean that the marriage contract was not objectionable. After all, this is a marriage contract made by the former king, and if they want to object, it is really unreasonable. And if Lux marries Izawa, who is the current president of the Explorers Guild, it means that the Crownguard family will be helped by the Explorers Guild. With the help of this guild that is almost all over the continent, it may only be a matter of time before the Crownguard family wants to grow and grow.
Thinking of this, those who don't want to see such a situation happen put all their hopes on Izawa, who has not yet made any sound, if Ize does not agree, maybe the situation will turn around.
"Ize, would you like to?" After a long time, Lux took a light breath, as if she had plucked up great courage, she slowly walked towards Ize, and Ize came face to face, looked at the young man's somewhat dull and handsome face with serious and expectant eyes, and asked softly. It was a really abrupt affair, and Lux knew it, especially for Ize, who didn't seem to be prepared yet. But she told herself clearly in her heart that she liked Izawa. From the first time she saw Izawa when she was a child, she had a good impression of him, and as she grew older, this good feeling gradually turned into liking and love.
Now Lux was very nervous and anxious, because she didn't know what Izawa thought, whether he loved each other as much as she did, whether he would accept this sudden engagement, all of which made Lux nervous, and her back was already dripping with fine sweat.
Izawa was silent, not answering Lux's question, for a blank figure appeared in his blank mind, and he knew it was definitely not Lux. This shadow that had always existed in his memory lingered, and for a moment it was difficult for him to think and speak.
"What are you hesitating about?" Suddenly, a strange voice came to Ize's ear abruptly. With the appearance of this voice, the shadow that existed in his brain disappeared, and Izawa still lost the ability to think.
"You don't like Lux?" the voice continued.
"......" Izawa was silent.
"You like Lux a lot, don't you? yes, you like Lux a lot. β
"Yes, I like Lux very much......" Izawa said silently in his heart, his eyes gradually clearing, and his ability to think has been restored, "I only like Lux ......"
"Ize, I know it's sudden, if you're not ready, then ......" Seeing that Ize hadn't spoken, Lux's expectant pupils gradually darkened, and she said to him in a soft voice. Although she likes Ezer very much, Lux does not and does not want to push him, and she respects his decision.
"No, Lux. Without any hesitation, before the dark red voice in his ears disappeared, Ize quickly took Lux's soft and slightly cool little hand, and said in a firm voice, "I like you, I do." β
This I am willing to make the faces of some of the ten families who still have hope darken in an instant, this I am willing to make Gavin, Sivana, Ruiz and others all smile after blessings and watching a good show, this I am willing, so that Galen, who has been standing at the back, will not give up on the yellow hair cramp and swear to give up, and the faint smile that does not want to be noticed and is not easy to be noticed.
This I do, made Lux smile with unbelievable happiness, she covered her mouth, took a step back, and couldn't help but let tears fall from her moist eyes.
"What are you waiting for? A true gentleman would not look at his fiancΓ©e crying without giving her a chest to lean on. Looking at Ize, who had a dull look in his clear eyes, Ruiz slapped him the shoulder, pushing him towards Lux.
Ezawa passively came to Lux's side, hugged her in his arms, and let Lux lean lightly against his chest and listen to his heartbeat.
At this moment, the whole space, everything is centered around them. From the first applause, almost simultaneously from Galen and Jiawen, the next moment, continuous applause resounded throughout the banquet hall.
"First Gavin and Sivana, now Lux and Ize, now Demacia is really ......" Wayne whispered while clapping, looking at Ize with less coldness and more recognition.
"Isn't that good?" said Zhao Xin on the side.
Zoe didn't applaud, not because she didn't want to, but because she hadn't finished the sugar gourd and lollipop in her hand, and she really didn't have room to applaud.
"I was indeed disappointed, your feelings for Sister Ahri were not as vague and bleak as they are now...... Izawa. Zoe thought to herself, "But it's no wonder, after all, it's impossible for mortals to compete with true gods...... Now, let's move on to the next step. β
