Chapter Seventy-Six: Departure

Ize walked briskly in the direction of leaving the palace, and along the way there were people who greeted him with a smile and congratulated him on his marriage, Ize just nodded and hurried away, to be honest, he didn't know how to face them, he didn't know how to face Demacia. Leaving Demacia means rejecting the wedding that has been decided, and also rejecting the will of the former king, which does not seem unreasonable, after all, it is Ize's freedom to go and stay, it is Ize's right, and he is not a native of Demacia, and he has no obligation to absolutely obey the will of the former king. One thing that cannot be ignored is that Ize is now in Demacia, even if Ize has freedom, violating the wedding agreed to in front of most of Demacia's high-level officials and the prince of Demacia is tantamount to slapping Demacia, a continental powerhouse, in the face in public. In this way, even if Ize was the leader of the Explorers' Guild, the pressure on the entire Demacia was too much for him to bear.

Although Lux said that he would help Ize cope with the wedding, Ize clearly knew that as long as he walked out of Demacia today, at least Demacia would not be friendly to him in the future, and Lux, who was burdened by himself, would uncontrollably become the object of everyone's discussion. Thinking of this, Ize's heart once again rose with deep guilt for Lux. But he had no choice – really had no choice. He knew what kind of pressure Lux was going to be under next. He couldn't protect her, he really couldn't protect her...... It was perhaps the deepest he'd hurt her — Izawa wished it was the first and last time.

He has no right to choose, and he can only do it.

Izawa's speed grew faster and faster, and he gradually stopped looking at the people who greeted him. After a while, he had already arrived at the inner gate of the imperial city, and when he left here, he left the imperial city. Izawa took a light breath and adjusted his messy breathing slightly, while his left hand, which was imprinted with the pink mark, no longer trembled. He stepped forward slowly, and the guards did not ask much about the man who was about to marry the sister of Galen, the power of Demacia, their eternal hero, but only gave him a bow of the head and let him go.

Walking down the long aisle, Ize's mind kept flashing memories of his time with Lux. Lux ...... I'm really happy to be with you, thank you for bringing light to my side, thank you. But what I have to say is, I'm sorry I left you for Ahri's sake, and I'm really sorry that your long-awaited wedding couldn't take place for Ahri's sake. But if I can't give her a result in this life, it will not only make her wait for several lifetimes in vain, making him suffer, but also possibly allowing some evil people who have been watching in the dark to find them. At that point, there will be an irreparable situation, there will be a situation that no one wants to see.

I can only think of it responsibly and irresponsibly to say this: Lux and Ahri, I have loved both...... I'm sorry......

Thinking of this, Izawa suddenly began to dislike himself, although everything he had just thought about was indeed his own heart.

The magic he unconsciously used made Izawa very fast, and he came to the outer gate of the city in a moment, but he did not rush out of the city, but stood quietly in place, his back straight, and after closing his eyes, he remained motionless, as if waiting for something. It didn't take long for Izawa to take a heavy breath after feeling the irresistible chill and murderous aura behind him, and a determined gaze flashed in his pupils. After taking a slow step forward, he quickly turned around, calmly and firmly staring at the cold gaze that belonged to the tall man in front of him who did not dare to look directly.

This time, I will not back down, I will never forget, never.

Seeing Izawa's clear and fearless gaze, Galen subconsciously retracted his straight back and nodded imperceptibly. Then, deep anger replaced everything in his heart, although Galen's temper was not good, but he was usually very sensible, but today he didn't know why, after Zoe cried and ran over to tell him that Ize refused the wedding, and Lux was sad and crying, he began to lose control of the anger in his heart. Even in the face of the enemy country that slaughtered his compatriots, Galen would still retain a trace of sanity, but today he suddenly found that not only sanity, but everything about himself was engulfed in irrepressible anger.

I can't forgive the man who hurt Lux, the only thought in his mind drives him, and the uncontrollable anger burns in his heart.

In normal times, even if his favorite sister was hurt, Galen would still ask the truth of the matter sensibly, but today, Galen seems to be unable to care about that, or he can no longer care about it.

As if being controlled, Galen's gaze flashed scarlet. Raising his right hand, which had been clenched tightly, he took a quick stride towards Ize, who was still looking straight at him with his back up. Galen's compelling momentum through his body didn't make Ize change color for a while, and his face was only calm. As Galen walked forward, his fist had swung out, and by only half a foot from Ize, the heavy fist had already slammed into Ize's face.

Until the fist hit him in the face, Izawa didn't respond at all, and there was no color in his calm eyes. After silently withstanding Galen's near-full punch, Izawa slipped under a muffled grunt, and flew upside down because he couldn't support the great force, slamming into the city wall, and a flash of red came out of his back. It took a long time for Izawa to recover from the dizziness from the buzzing in his ears, and he shook his head in sharp pain, and he could no longer get up from the hard ground.

Because of the irresistible rage, Galen's blow was really heavy, the pain made Ize tremble uncontrollably, he struggled to get up from the ground, but to no avail, although only half of his face was hit hard, he felt the pain of tearing all over his body. Izawa tried to get up, and after several falls, he finally fell to his knees, half of his face completely swollen, bright red blood pouring from his mouth and nose, and his face was completely unconscious. Even so, Ize's eyes were still extremely clear, and his heart did not flinch at all, he still looked at Galen, and his gaze fluctuated slightly.

Seeing Ize's appearance, Galen couldn't help frowning, his eyes were a little unbearable, and the anger in his heart disappeared a lot, he had indeed gone a little too far......

"What the hell is wrong with me? That punch was like someone was grabbing my arm......" Galen thought to himself, some important detail being inadvertently skipped.

Seeing Ize's appearance, Galen frowned slightly, and just wanted to step forward to help him up and ask him why he left Demacia, but because Ize's trembling and calm words stopped in place.

"Right...... No...... Rise...... Be...... I...... Right...... No...... Rise...... Pull...... Lux...... Can...... I have to ...... As...... ......" Izawa tried his best to raise his voice, but his trembling lips kept his voice extremely low.

"Why?" the uncontrollable urge faded, and Galen easily opened the hand that had been clenched since the beginning.

"It's ...... Long...... Very...... Long...... Before...... There is a ...... Concerned about me...... ...... for me Pay...... It's ...... Many...... Can...... I...... Still...... Negative...... of her...... I...... No...... Again...... Right...... No...... Rise...... She ......" Izawa said intermittently, her body shaking with all her strength.

I, gotta go. This was the only thought in Ize's mind at this time.

"Don't you think about Lux?" Galen's face was ugly, and he had roughly guessed the reason for Ize's departure. After a long time, only the question was squeezed out of his closed lips.

"......" Izawa lowered his head and fell silent. The question had been repeated in his mind an infinite number of times, and his response had been silence because he really didn't know how to answer it.

"Don't you know how to answer?" Seeing Ize's appearance, Galen sneered, and disappointment appeared in his eyes, "It seems that you yourself know how sorry Lux will be to do this." ”

Izawa still didn't speak, his gaze completely darkened.

"I'm crazy to entrust Lux to you......" Galen was furious again, his voice soft, but clearly conveying deep disappointment.

Galen's eyes froze, his fists clenched, and a rich golden light burst from his body. The next moment, he wanted to say something more, but he restrained all the momentum on his body because of a sentence.

"Let him go, it's my own choice...... Brother. ”

Even though her face was as pale as paper and her big eyes were swollen like walnuts, Lux was calm. After glancing at Galen, who snorted angrily and stopped talking, Lux walked towards Ize, who looked down and didn't dare to look at her.

Looking at Ize, who was kneeling on the ground, Lux had no sound, and his face was full of emotion that could not be concealed with calm.

After the girl in front of her sent warm light energy into her body to heal her injuries, Izawa quickly recovered from the severe pain of weakness. Although he was no longer in pain and stood up, he still felt a desperate suffocation.

Looking at the girl who was half a head shorter than herself, Izawa's lips began to tremble violently.

"Thank you......"

Before Izawa could finish speaking, the girl interrupted him in fear: "Don't say thank you...... Please don't say ......"

The heart will hurt.

"Ize, let's go......" For a long time, it was really a long time, Lux slowly turned his back and tried his best to convey his calm voice, "I won't let my brother stop you, if you miss me, remember to come and have a look......"

What is all this for? It doesn't make sense, does it?

In the depths of Lux's pupils, a dark light crept into the air, silently.

Izawa wanted to say something, he looked at the desperate back, and really wanted to say something more, but he didn't know what was choked in his throat, and he really couldn't make a sound. After being silent for a long time and staying for a long time, the dazed Ize still chose to turn around and leave.

Growing up together since childhood, it can be said that the two childhood sweethearts separated without any sound.

Neither Ezer nor Lux could have imagined that this separation would last for decades.
