Located in the depths of a certain urban area, there is an ancient house called the Zaafan family.

It was once the residence of an old nobility in Noxus, and the castle stands tall and full of age, but the surrounding area is dilapidated, making the palace look a little eerie.

There was not a single figure in sight, and the trees surrounded the castle quietly.

Interior of the palace.

A slow sound of easy footsteps came out, and in a few moments a bewitching woman came out, her hair as bright as blood, and the shape of a nobleman's head. The face is incomparably beautiful, and the red eyes exude a kind of temptation and danger.

She was dressed in a long red and black dress, the silky long skirt set off her perfect figure, the black dress only reached the knees, revealing two slender and smooth calves under it, and two beautiful feet stepping on high heels.

Her temperament is arrogant and cold, like a thorny rose.

Such a beautiful woman lived in a palace that few people cared for, and the living room was even darker, and there were intertwined cobwebs everywhere, and spiders crawling near them, large and small.

From time to time, there is a sound of 'squirping'.

She strolled leisurely, with graceful steps, toward a staircase.

On the second floor, she stopped at the door of a room, then reached out and pushed the door in.

Pushing open the door, the room was dressed very cleanly, the lamps and candles emitted a warm firelight, and there was a large bed against the wall, and on the bed lay a woman with the same beautiful face, with purple hair scattered and strands of clothes, revealing a snow-white scenery without concealment.

"LeBlanc."

Seeing this, the woman in the black dress frowned slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's been almost two months since you came to me to eat and drink, and now it's a mess outside, don't you really want to pay attention to it?" ”

As the words fell, LeBlanc on the bed slowly opened his eyes, then sat up, stretched comfortably, and said, "What can you change if you pay attention to it?" It's a rare holiday break, so it's natural to enjoy it. Also, Elise. Your little spiders don't have any rules at all, they are noisy and make me sleep badly. ”

"That's not a reason for you to trap them with magic."

Elise looked up and waved her hand, and suddenly there was a flash of magic.

With a 'bang', the little spiders confined in the corners and ceilings suddenly regained their freedom and scrambled to escape.

"Don't forget that you are a guest now, I am kind enough to take you in, and it will be rude for you to take in an inch."

She looked at LeBlanc and expressed her displeasure again.

"It's too sad for you to say that, we've known each other for so long, I thought we were friends, so I came to you when I was in trouble."

LeBlanc said with some grievances as she got out of bed and had an extra set of beautiful clothes out of thin air.

"Have you forgotten? When you were in trouble, I showed up to help you solve it. ”

Her tone was like an abandoned little daughter-in-law, with the word grievance written all over her body.

"Can you stop mentioning this?" Elise raised her eyebrows and sneered, "It's as if I've done less for you over the years." And also. Who wants to be friends with you, a witch full of lies. ”

She admits that when she was a weak and helpless aristocratic woman, she did receive help from LeBlanc.

She was born into the Kissilla family, one of the oldest bloodlines in Noxus.

In a family-arranged political marriage, she entered into a marriage with the current owner of the palace, Zaafan Bolhot.

This is a decision that is more beneficial to both families, and the two of them, as pawns, have no choice.

But just compared to her family background, she still has an advantage.

After marriage, the two who were husband and wife were not husband and wife, and even the banquet on the wedding night was a social interaction that benefited both families.

After their marriage, the two relied on their own means, but as her abilities appeared, she became the true master of the Zaafan family.

This made the head of the family, Bolhot, finally jealous, and as time passed, his resentment became deeper and deeper.

Finally, one evening, during the cold, silent dinner as always, a showdown broke out with Bolhot.

He poisoned her liquor and demanded that she withdraw from social affairs and that he would take over the actual power.

She knew that this man would not dare to kill him, because there was still the Kithera family behind her, and all he wanted to do was to use the antidote to control her.

So she speculated that the antidote must be in Bolhot's body.

As it turned out, her speculation was successful, and when she pierced Bolhot's heart with a dagger, she searched for an antidote from the man.

However, even with the antidote, she was still poisoned and had to be bedridden.

It was at this time that the Pale Lady, LeBlan, found her.

Later, during the conversation, Elise learned that the marriage between the Kythera family and the Zaafan family was actually arranged by this woman.

Even Bolhote is a puppet of this woman, and everything he does is also working for an organization called Black Rose.

Here, trusted members will gain deep knowledge and secret sorcery.

In fact, the Pale Lady does not care who is in charge of the major nobles, only whether the rulers are loyal to her.

Now that Elise has killed Bolhot, who is a puppet, she must prove her worth or find someone more suitable to replace her.

On that night, the information she received made Elise feel like she had opened the door to a new world.

Faced with such a ladder of power in front of her, how could Elise refuse.

She proved her abilities to LeBlanc and successfully joined the Black Rose, and in the following time, she quickly amassed the wealth of the two families, bringing her power to a new level.

However, it is still one step away from entering the core of the Black Rose.

It was at this time that Elise learned that the skull of the ancient warlord Saan Uzur, which was very important to the Black Rose, was said to have been hidden in the Isle of Shadows a long time ago.

In order to gain LeBlalan's favor, she took a risk and led a team to the cursed city.

Although Uzur's skull was not found, she was given another chance.

A long-forgotten creature has made its home in the lightless abyss beneath the city. The bulging, chitin-shelled monster, the Throat of the Spider God, swooped out of the darkness to devour the intruders, and finally its fangs pierced Elise's shoulder.

It was an extremely painful time, and she felt that every day her body was being tortured, and every day her body was changing.

Eventually, to her horror, her spine unexpectedly heaved and churned, and finally many spider legs came out of the flesh behind her back.

She became a spider monster who didn't look like a human and a ghost didn't look like a ghost.

The Mean Throat didn't kill her, and her soul seemed to communicate with the spider god without words.

It was only later that she slowly mastered her way back into human form, and she fled back to Noxus.

Found LeBlanc again.

LeBlanc saw that what she had received was a dangerous gift,—— a way to travel safely between Noxus and the Shadow Isle.

She was the one chosen by the spider god, and at that moment, Elise understood who she really had to be loyal to, and that was the spider god.

Later, they hit it off, and the Black Rose would provide Elise with a steady stream of stupid sacrifices to the spider god, and in return, she would bring back any object of power from the dark and forbidden shores.

Counting the time, it seems that she and LeBlanc have known each other for hundreds of years.

Over the years, their relationship has been very strong, after all, each takes what he needs.

But patting his conscience, in order to repay LeBlan's help back then, Elise has helped her solve a lot of troubles for free over the years.

For example, this time.

Somehow she did it, the Black Rose story was once again spread all over the streets, and the situation seemed to be a little more serious than before.

"It's so sad, and I'm hungry."

LeBlanc sighed, clutched her stomach, and said weakly.

"Then I'm hungry, I'm not your subordinate."

Elise looked at her angrily, I was afraid that outsiders would see it, and I fully believed that the current waste person who woke up and ate and continued to sleep after eating was actually the master of the black rose, the pale lady.

"Ugh."

LeBlanc sighed again.

"Looks like you really haven't run out during this time."

Elise said at this time, looking at LeBlan's puzzled eyes, she continued: "I'm afraid you don't know, Demacia launched an attack four days ago, and now it has captured Trewell, and is probably still marching all the way. ”

When LeBlanc heard this, he was slightly stunned: "Really?" ”

She showed a thoughtful look, and I have to say that even she was a little surprised to hear the news.

Demacia would have changed his normal routine and took the initiative to call.

This means that they are ready for an all-out war with Noxus.

Coming back to her senses, she asked, "Who came up with the idea?" ”

"You ask me?" Elise looked at her and said, "But the person who led the army this time is the second prince of Demacia, the one you mentioned a while ago." ”

This sentence made LeBlanc slightly stunned, and then showed an interested look.

It's this second prince again.

She has lived for so many years, if there are only a few people who can make her unable to see through, then this second prince is one of them.

He had a feeling that LeBlanc couldn't put into words.

Compared to the people of the Land of Runeterra, it seems out of place.

Maybe it's because he's the only one who let her plan fail so completely.

Not only that, but he also got rid of the trouble through Demacia.

Now, it is again with the troops.

Interesting, really interesting.

This had to make LeBlanc's interest in him a little more serious.

"And that puppet you've handpicked, he's been doing more and more stupid things lately. I have just received news that he is going to send Demir against the prince. Then he still insisted on not preparing to withdraw the troops sent to Ionia. ”

"However, he seems to approve of your proposal, and secretly chose a warlord's heir to support him, and has recently begun to build momentum, and seems to be preparing to train him to be the next crown prince."

"Also, he agreed to the prince's offer to trade prisoners of war, intending to pay the other party 30 million gold."

Elise watched as LeBlanc was pondering, and although she didn't know what she was thinking, she interrupted her thoughts with something she said.

The news I got about it was slowly spoken.

After hearing this, LeBlanc raised his head and said with a flat expression: "This is what I expected, the more a person is bound, the more eager he is to be freed. Moreover, he felt that his life was short, and that what he did would only become more self-interested. From the beginning, I didn't expect anything from him. ”

Elise asked, "So what are you going to do with him?" ”

"At least for now, he's still useful." LeBlanc said slowly, "It's not easy to find someone who is more capable than him right now." It also takes time to develop a second Darkwell. ”

Elise said: "So you deliberately mentioned Demir to him, who is actually the person you secretly chosen?" ”

LeBlanc leaned back, fell on the bed, and said a little lazily: "If I say I haven't found it yet, do you believe it?" ”

Elise smiled, "In your current state, I believe it." ”

LeBlanc turned over, lay on her side, her slender jade legs lifted and pressed against the quilt, and said lazily: "It's still a long time, don't be in a hurry." Although Darkwell said that he would not live long, a few years would still be fine. ”

Elise also sat on the bed and could smell the scent wafting from the sheets, she usually didn't spray perfume on the house, so it was naturally LeBlanc's body fragrance.

Sniffing, she suddenly said, "Svein is a good candidate, it's a pity to die." ”

LeBlanc said: "He is indeed one of the few outstanding people, but he is too smart to be afraid of death." It's more than ten times more difficult to control than Darkwell, so why waste my energy. ”

Elise thought about it, so she skipped the topic and asked, "Aren't you going to interfere in this battle?" That prince is menacing, I'm afraid it's not easy to mess with. ”

"I'm going to be scolded for showing my face now, so why interfere?" LeBlan's tone was quite calm, and he continued: "Besides, is it because Noxus raises those warlords to eat dry food, they don't go to the front, don't you want me to go to Black Rose. If they are really a bunch of waste, they deserve to be beaten and run away. ”

"That's just as well."

Elise nodded slightly.

The people of Black Rose are now hiding in XZ, although the turmoil has been suppressed, it does not mean that people have forgotten.

Now as long as someone suspected of being a black rose is exposed, it is the target of the whole people.

Even LeBlanc can only hide obediently at the moment.

As for this battle, if those warlords can't handle it, then Noxus will also raise them for nothing.

With that in mind, she stood up and walked out.

When LeBlanc noticed it, she asked, "Why are you going?" ”

"Cooking breakfast, I happened to be a little hungry too."

Elise replied faintly, pushed the door and left.

"Oh less chili, I've been on fire lately."

LeBlanc heard this and admonished.

Elise glanced back at her: "There are so many things less, what I do, what you eat." ”

LeBlanc stopped talking, and honestly lay on the bed, patiently waiting for his breakfast.

In her mind, she thought of the second prince again, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile, adding a bit of charm to her beautiful face.

It's getting more and more interesting.
