Three days later, the Demacia mission left Fidlette and embarked on a journey back to Demacia.

Upon their return to Demacia, Tiana and Sebastian were soon summoned by Gavin III, who had not even had time to verify Galio's secret.

"Sebastian, what is the result of this mission?"

Sebastian knelt on the ground, did not look up, and his tone was slightly heavy.

"Back to Your Majesty, Emperor Lester is determined to destroy the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest...... There is no possibility of further negotiations, and if they refuse, Noxus will inevitably be overwhelmed. ”

Hearing this, Gavin III looked at Tiana, and when he saw Tiana nodding imperceptibly, he was slightly disappointed.

"Your Majesty, but this time it's not for nothing."

In a dull and oppressive atmosphere, Tiana took over:

"The Emperor himself said that after the autumn, he would personally come to Demacia with a delegation of envoys to prove his sincerity."

"Lester is coming to Demacia!?"

Hearing Tiana say this, Gavin III stood up in fright.

As the heir to the power of the Light Shield family, Garvin III can be said to have grown up listening to the notoriety of Lester, the lord of the Emerald Lord, although he has never seen Lester, Garvin III has a very serious psychological shadow of Lester, and now he knows that Demacia's old enemy will come to see him, and he has completely lost his composure and calmness as an emperor.

"What is he doing here?"

Tiana and Sebastian didn't expect Gavin III to be so afraid of Leicester, and for a moment they didn't know whether to take their eyes off Gavin III's slightly panicked face.

"For the object of marriage, and for the forbidden demon stone forest."

Now, Tiana can only speak hard.

"I think the Emperor means to choose who to marry."

With his mouth open, Jiawen III didn't know what to say about the absurdity of the emperor's coming to Demacia to choose a concubine.

It's true that I'm a little worried, but it's impossible to take my princess away, right? Are they all old women in their thirties, can they still be seen?

“…… Alright, I see, you go down. ”

Tiana and Sebastian looked at each other, and their faces faded with complexity.

Regarding Leicester's 'micro-service private visit', it is not appropriate to talk about it casually before it is confirmed.

Leaving the palace, Tiana separated from Sebastian with the members of the First Shield Formation, and returned to Mithril City under the watchful eyes of the Vanguard soldiers.

As the birthplace of the Crownguard family and the production of Mithril ore, Mithril City has always been heavily guarded, with fortifications second only to the Xiongdu of Demacia, and the fortress built on the mountain is deeply rooted in the Urus Mountains like a steel nail, and the Dreadnought Vanguard is stationed here to guard the secrets of the Zenith Pit.

After hundreds of years of mining, the Mithril ore produced in the zenith pit was nearly depleted, and the further down the mountain became, the more difficult it became, and even the most skilled miners were in danger of dying in the underworld.

Because of this, the zenith pit is no longer as important as it once was.

Fortunately, the establishment of the Dreadnought Vanguard has always remained at more than 2,000 people, plus there are not many battles that can be used for the Dreadnought, the loss of Mithril equipment is not large, and the reserves of Mithril ore are enough to use.

"Sword Captain, then we'll go back to the garrison first."

"Everyone, it's been a hard journey, take a good rest for a week."

"Sir Tiana, if going to Noxus to eat and drink well can be regarded as hard, then the training we receive will be dead~ This time we can enjoy so many days, it all depends on the opportunity given by the chief."

The soldiers of the first shield array left with a smile, and Tiana smiled and shook her head, and quickly restrained her smile,

The woman regained her solemnity and majesty, and walked to her manor house under the reverent gaze of the guard, and to the library beneath the castle.

"Ah, Aunt Tiana? Are you back? ”

The lively voice lifted Tiana a little,

Immediately next to the anti-backing oil lamp, a blonde girl about eight years old jumped off a stone chair and ran to Tiana with a cheer.

Tiana opened her arms, hugged the delicate and cute little girl in her arms, and smiled gently.

"Laxana, why are you here alone? What about your brother? ”

The little girl stuck out her tongue and smiled mischievously, and the white dress on her body made the little girl look like a pure white lotus.

"My brother went to the barracks to exercise again, and he asked me to go too, slightly, so I won't go~ Instead of sweating like my brother, I might as well read a book here~"

"Haha, it's a good thing that little Shanna has her own ideas."

Carrying Laxana to the stone table, Tiana glanced curiously at the unfolded book, revealing a look of surprise.

The content of the book is roughly described how ancient Demacia used the Forbidden Stone to fight evil magic, and it is also interspersed with hand-drawn illustrations of the Forbidden Stone Colossus Galio and many brief rune circle patterns.

Speaking of which, when she was younger, she had also read this forbidden book, which was not circulated in the market, and the author of the book was a member of the Illuminator Knights, who had more than once speculated that the Illuminator Knights, who were closely connected to the Chrisman family, were hiding hidden secrets.

Otherwise, how could a person who had never been exposed to magic write such a dry record so truthfully by hearsay?

Unless it's a genius who is dirty with you, otherwise, it is difficult to impress people with anything made up.

"Is little Shanna interested in magic?"

As soon as the words came out, Tiana realized that her concept seemed to have changed drastically.

If she hadn't gone to Noxus, she would have only warned her little niece to stay away from evil magic.

Now that she has seen the magic and beauty of Fidlet, Tiana has always felt that Demacia is as rigid and boring as those white forbidden stones—compared to Fidlet, Demacia is more like a remote countryside.

Even the majestic Gawain III seemed to be a lot shorter, and she meant that compared to the emperor who made her heart beat faster at every turn.

All in all, the more she compared, the more Tiana felt that there was something wrong with Demacia's development path,

Over the past few days, she has imagined more than once whether Demacia would become a beautiful and progressive magical city like Fidlett if she also took the initiative to accept magic, or whether Demacia would have a lord like His Majesty Leicester and whether Demacia would grow into a hegemon who was half the same as Noxus.

Tiana, who was in a state of delusion, didn't see it, and Laxana's little face tensed involuntarily when she heard this question.

"Ahaha, Aunt Tiana, I'm not interested in magic either~ I'm just interested in the Forbidden Magic Stone, uh-huh~ I want to know how the Great Forbidden Demon Stone fights evil magic."

Laxana struggled to maintain a cute smile to hide her panic.

She knew that her aunt had always hated magic, otherwise she wouldn't have soaked in the barracks all day long with a big sword, and she would have been killed from a crowd of men to become the strongest first shield sword captain.

Many people say that Aunt Tiana is able to stand out from countless competitors because of her status as a champion family, but Laxana feels that perseverance is the most admirable quality of her aunt.

Now the aunt who has become the leader of the dreadnought vanguard is the most powerful person in the family, so powerful that people ignore the amazing beauty of the aunt, and care more about the Mithril sword on the woman's waist and the authority in her hand.

Aunt Tiana even let her brother Galen have a superstitious belief in [the greater the sword, the more powerful] since he was a child, and spent his days in the barracks training with the soldiers of the intrepid vanguard.

All in all, if you let the rigid and cold aunt know her secret, and specify that she doesn't have her own good juice to eat, although she won't hand herself over to the terrible forbidden demon guards, she will definitely not have to think about it by sneaking over to read the forbidden book by herself.

"Little Sanna, magic may not be as evil as we think."

Tiana, who had let go of Laxana, touched the little girl's head, trying to influence the next generation of the Crownguard in her own way, reversing the inherent prejudice of the Demacians against magic.

"My aunt went to Noxus this time and saw a lot of magic, little Shanna, believe me, it is impossible to describe the wonder in words,

In addition to this book, my aunt recommends three more books for you. ”

While Laxana was stunned, Tiana took out the hidden books from the shelves, patted the dust on the covers, and placed the banned books next to Laxana's books.

"You can read these books yourself, don't talk nonsense, after reading them, you still want to read them, and then ask your aunt for them."

It wasn't until Tiana began to search the shelves for information that little Laxana came to her senses and stared at her aunt's strange back in disbelief.

She was a little skeptical that she was living in a dream - her aunt, who had always been upright and serious, regarded magic as evil, and only agreed with the big sword in her hand, actually recommended a resource book about magic to her for the first time?

Oh my God, she must be dreaming!

Laxana, who was in turmoil in her heart, looked at the three forbidden books on the table and was startled.

[The Argument of Black Magic Does Not Mean Evil - by James Valentine]

[What you need to know about the real existence of the wizarding world - by Ellie Lambert]

[The Origin of the Magical Bloodline, Beginning with the Great Migration of Freljord - by Cassandra Grant]

Three unheard of banned books! It's not even in the 'list of forbidden books of the Forbidden Demons' that Laxana knows!

It turns out that there is such a dangerous thing hidden in the gray and dark library of your house!?

Thinking of the light she had accidentally emitted with the tips of her fingers, Laxana's little heart pounded, and she carefully folded the three books together like a thief, and the girl instinctively looked at her aunt, only to find that her aunt had somehow entered the library on the lower floor.

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that Aunt Tiana seems to be interested in magic a lot."

Tiana was certainly interested in magic, but what interested her the most right now was looking up genealogical records.

She soon found the name of her ancestor [Miranda Corona] in the genealogical records, and the old, well-preserved thick tome dutifully played its part, bringing the events of more than 600 years ago to Tiana's eyes.

“…… Thirty-six years after the Battle of the Patriotic War of Demacia, the former king Argostan died, Dulles Gavin ascended the throne, and the Gavin family was renamed the royal family [Light Shield], and was crowned the king of the city-state from the elective royal system, and the Light Shield family won the recognition of all Demacians with sacrifice and the glory of the previous king.

In the Great Patriotic War, the ancestor Drexx Hilda, who always stood by the side of His Majesty Dulles Gavin, protected Dulles, the son of the former king Argostan, through bloody battles.

Later, the ancestor of Derricks led the [Dreadnought] all the way to the coronation of Dulles, and finally the Hilda family was promoted from the dragon's merit to the [Crowned Guard Family],

Since then, Hilda has abandoned her former name and become the most sought-after nobleman of Demacia with the glory of the 'Crowned Shield', which is the origin of the Crownguard family, and future generations must not forget the meaning of the word 'Crown' and remember the glorious mission of the word 'Crown'......"

These trash talk Tiana has seen many times about the origin of the crown guard family, but she has never had such a special feeling as now,

In particular, the man who spoke to the kings and ancestors six hundred years ago appeared in his own world, and invited himself to experience a magical world that he could not imagine...... Either the world is crazy, or she's crazy.

Since she is not crazy, then the world must be crazy.

What the hell!

With a breath of cloudy air, Tiana rubbed her face and continued to look down.

“…… The eldest princess of the crown guard family, Miranda the crown guard, happened to meet a rare talent in the kingdom and introduced Lord Lester to become the staff and etiquette teacher of the crown guard family, and the two sides formed a deep friendship......"

'Chance'? Obviously, he was attracted by His Majesty Lester's handsome appearance, and he had already planned it.

Tiana pursed her lips irreverently, slandering her ancestors.

“…… Under the commission of King Dulles, Lord Leicester soon found the skilled craftsman Master Dulang, designed a sketch of the Forbidden Stone Colossus, and personally organized the implementation of the project......

…… The Crowned Guard family participated in the construction of the Forbidden Demon Stone Colossus, and its name will go down in history......

…… The Forbidden Stone Colossus played a major role in the Northern Campaign, and the evil wizards of Freljord were no longer able to perform dark magic, and the kingdom's soldiers slain countless victories and defeated the barbarian invaders......

…… For some unknown reason, Lord Lester left the family alone after the completion of the Forbidden Stone Colossus......

…… Miranda Corona looked up at the sky at the foot of the Forbidden Stone Colossus all day long, and at the age of thirty-two, she died depressed......"

There is no record of Miranda Crownguard or Lester in the staff after that, and Tiana closes the tome with a complicated expression, and the poignant image of a woman watching alone under the Colossus of the Forbidden Stone, missing a man, comes to mind.

Before, she didn't know where Miranda's ancestor's mental illness came from, but now that she knew, Tiana found it difficult to swallow.

Thinking of Miranda's ancestor's infatuation and men's indifference, Tiana couldn't help but clench her silver teeth.

"Scumbag! Even if I don't marry in this life, I will definitely seek justice from you! ”
