The Mage Behind the Scenes From the Twin Cities

Popular recommendation:

"Lot, I will execute the trial against you on behalf of the trial mission, charge: defamation!"

Fiona raised the rapier in her hand, and a long sword flew out of the middle-aged man's hand.

laugh-

The rapier mercilessly sank into the man's abdomen, splashing blood.

Seeing the middle-aged man fall to the ground with fear in his eyes, Fiona shook off the blood stains on the rapier and left the scene without looking back.

It was not until she left the Sword Hall that someone in the crowd stepped forward, helped the injured man, and skillfully bandaged his wound.

The rapier didn't take Lot's life, but it was enough to inflict heavy damage on him.

And judging from the rescue methods that the medical team is familiar with, Lot is not the first injured person.

Of course, it won't be the last.

In recent days, Fiona has found one by one those who criticized the Laurent family behind their backs, and conducted a justice trial in the name of the trial mission.

It stands to reason that in terms of the noble virtues that Demacia advocates, what these people say and do is indeed contrary to justice.

Due to Fiona's actions, there were a lot fewer people who dared to speak up about the old General Laurent.

It's just that there is only one person in Fiona, and there will still be many people in the tavern and in the alley as a topic of chat.

Fiona didn't care about this, Xiongdu was under the watchful eyes of the winged protector, and no one could escape judgment.

At least things are slowly getting better.

Many people even came to the door to apologize to General Laurent, apologizing for their words.

After hearing more of this kind of words, the old General Laurent's complexion gradually improved a lot.

The reason for the improvement is also simple. It is not that the blocked qi in my heart is relieved, but I figured out that it is uncomfortable because of the rumors of these people...

Not worth it!

A handsomely dressed man walked up to Fiona and said in a flat tone:

"How many is this?" The man took the saber handed by Fiona, "Fifteen? Twenty?"

"Thirty-four, or more." Fiona shrugged. "It makes no difference to me."

The man next to him was named Amda, Fiona's second brother. The medium-length rapier she had just used was Amda's saber.

"There will be more in the future, are you really not going to think about it?" Amda asked.

Fiona knew that Amda had not given up on being a family lobbyist.

"Without strength, what's the point of interfering in too much politics." Fiona said coldly.

"what?"

Amda didn't understand what Fiona meant.

"Without the sword in your hand, you even have to choose charity from others."

Fiona remembered the scene that day, when Seraphine just stood silently in front of her, without the slightest movement, shattering the sword she once had with just one word.

In front of such a young girl, she was not even qualified to challenge.

"Compared to the person who fell under your sword, you already have more options." Amda shook his head.

He doesn't agree with his sister's extreme views, and no matter who it is, he can't act willfully.

Born as a civilian, you need to run for survival.

As nobles, they are out of material predicament, but because of the family's giving, they need to do a lot of things they don't want to do.

Sometimes, making choices that go against your heart is far more uncomfortable than starving.

"Ah!"

Fiona looked sideways at him and let out a sneer:

"If you don't fight for it, there will be no reward. Brother, this is what you taught me."

"Maybe." Amda sighed.

The two stopped talking about this topic, and instead talked about some mild topics.

When they returned to the door of the house, their faces became solemn again.

At the gate of Laurent's house, a mechanical car with the Crown Guard's crest is parked.

Among the Crownguards, the person Fiona knew best was Laxana.

But Laxana always rode in a carriage, following Demacian tradition.

Normally, the new stuff of Noxus is used more frequently by those who are not directly descended from nobles.

And in front of this mechanical car imported from Noxus, whether it is Amda or Fiona, everyone knows who it belongs to.

At this time, the door of the mechanical car was opened, and a blond nobleman walked out from inside, with a saber hanging from his waist.

When Amda saw the other party, he gave his sister a vague look, greeted him with a smile, and said:

"Mr Crownguard, welcome to the Laurent family."

"Mr. Amda, good afternoon!"

The man showed a warm smile and behaved abnormally.

"Black, you're not welcome here." Fiona's voice was freezing.

Blake Crownguard, her titular fiancé, someone she never wanted to see in her life.

She doesn't have any prejudice against Blake, whether it is talent or reputation, the other side is considered outstanding among the crown guards.

It's just... She doesn't like and doesn't want to be a victim of politics, forced to accept the fate that was arranged.

With a helpless expression on her face, Amda explained to Fiona, "Mr. Crownguard, she's always been like this, don't mind."

"Just call me Blake. How can I be Miss Laurent's freedom."

Blake smiled restrainedly, not showing any strange emotions because of Fiona's language.

His gaze skipped Amda and focused on Fiona in a swordsman uniform:

"Miss Laurent, this should be our first meeting. But even if we only meet once, we can see that our personalities and pursuits are different."

"What's your purpose?" Fiona frowned, she just wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible.

However, she agreed with what Blake had just said.

She looked down on Fang Fang's aristocratic style, and the other party didn't like her either.

Blake kept a polite smile on his face, and said slowly:

"I'm here to dissolve the marriage. I'll be sent out as an administrator soon. I don't want to delay Miss Laurent's future."

"Breaking the engagement?" Amda was startled and quickly winked at Fiona.

At this critical point in time, if Fiona's engagement was dissolved, both his father and grandfather would be **** off.

"Okay!" Fiona replied.

She ignored Amda, who had an ugly face and wanted to discuss further, but responded bluntly:

"The marriage contract between the two of us will be terminated from today, and I will announce it to everyone at that time."

"Wait, you wait first!" Amda was anxious.

He apologized to Black first, got the other party's answer, and whispered in Fiona's ear.

While listening, Fiona nodded from time to time.

After the two of them finished speaking, Fiona turned her head to Blake and said dryly:

"Thanks to the Crownguard family for making concessions. Even if we are strangers in the future, Crownguard and Laurent are still friends."

Hearing these words like a child reciting a textbook, Blake nodded with a smile:

"Naturally, the Crown Guard and Laurent will always maintain a friendly relationship."

Fiona's complexion improved a lot, as if some kind of shackles had been lifted.

The engagement has ended, and although the pressure of the family is still there, she feels extremely relaxed.

Instead, Amda sighed and shook her head.

Fiona should not be the master of this matter, but she is also a member of the Laurent family, and she represents Laurent in everything she says and does.

The word has been spoken, it is a foregone conclusion.

As far as the family is concerned, Fiona's behavior is selfish. But for Fiona, the family's decision is not indifferent.

Sandwiched between the two, Amda chose silence.

Black quickly left in a mechanical car.

What happened today also spread throughout the entire Xiongdu at an extremely fast speed.

Fiona continues to challenge Laurent's critics, while the Crownguard rescinds her engagement.

A single incident is nothing. After the two incidents happened at the same time, the malicious slander suffered by the Laurent family was even more prosperous.

"Why did you choose to go at this time? Tell me!"

Tiana frowned slightly, looking straight at Black with stern eyes.

The two were sitting in the living room of the main house, each with a cup of steaming tea on the table.

"If I don't go now, the crown guard is likely to be implicated by that crazy woman." Blake didn't change his face.

Fiona is absolutely top-notch in looks and stature.

But in Blake's eyes, Fiona was inferior to a vase.

He can find too many beautiful women, why should he find a Fiona who will affect his future development.

At this juncture, it is clear that Noxus' reputation in Demacia has been reversed.

Originally, the wind was about to pass, and this will come out to find someone to judge.

Even if Tiana didn't let him contact the engagement contract, he would take the initiative to do so.

He was really afraid that the other party would implicate him in the future.

"If you go at this time, it's easy for Laurent and Onions to completely fall to the light shield." Tiana's tone was a little hurried and annoyed.

Announcing the engagement was already agreed upon, but now is not the right time.

If it can be resolved peacefully, it will be much easier to win O'Neill than it is now.

Now the whole Laurent family is under discussion, before only those who hated Noxus didn't like them, but now, even those who favored the Crown Guards or loved Noxus didn't like them.

In this case, I don't know if the light shield shot.

People began to spread... Gilbert, one of the eight officials, had a close personal relationship with the old General Laurent, and once supported the Laurent family.

The purpose of this move is very obvious, it is to force Gilbert and O'Neill to stand in line.

After a few exchanges with each other, Blake was sent away by Tiana.

After boarding the mechanical car, Black glanced back at the Crown Guard mansion apologetically, but his eyes still showed his firmness.

Demacia...Old...

And he is still young...

At night...the Noxus Embassy upstairs.

"Don't keep it in your heart if you want to ask." Ryan kept flipping through the books with his fingers.

In front of him, Seraphine was resting her cheeks with one hand, her eyebrows were lightly wrinkled, and she looked like she was hesitant to speak.

In the end, Seraphine gave up thinking and asked directly:

"Teacher, why is it important that Laurent and Crown Guard's engagement contracts be contacted?"

"In your eyes, this is just a small thing?" Ryan asked with a smile.

"A marriage contract arranged between the next generation does not have much impact."

Seraphine candidly expresses her thoughts.

"Indeed, if there is no O'Neill, if there is no us, this is just a normal thing." Ryan nodded with a smile.

He closed the pages of the book in his hand and explained to his students:

"The arrival of an avalanche may begin with a small snowflake. Because of the empire, Demacia has today's internal contradictions."

"The stage has already been set up, and now we need to wait for that snowflake that can cause an avalanche."

"Well..." Seraphine was still a little confused, "Fiona, are you qualified to be that snowflake?"

"Just now, General Laurent passed away." Ryan smiled.

Seraphine's expression froze for a moment, she was just a little shocked by the content itself, but she didn't doubt what Ryan said.

Suddenly, she understood why Fiona was the snowflake.

What Fiona did would be the last straw that broke old General Laurent.

In other words, even if old General Laurent thinks about it, he will die in these days.

The death of General Laurent was the beginning of the civil unrest in Demacia...

In the foreign war, the armies of Demacia and Noxus were smashed, killing countless people.

But within Demacia, a cloud was gathering.

Seraphine took a breath, sorted out her emotions, and returned to her own affairs.

......

Late at night three days later.

"Princess Eleanor, I'm sorry to disturb you late at night."

Inside the Castle of Dawn, the Marquis of Gilbert O'Neill met Eleanor alone.

"Where, I'm deeply sorry about the old General Laurent." Eleanor replied.

The nobles knew that Gilbert and General Laurent had been friends for decades.

The news of the death of old General Laurent has come out, and the old man in front of him is the discoverer.

Now she can see the exhaustion and anger in the other's eyes. The Laurent family has relied on Gilbert to preside over them these days.

"Princess Eleanor, I don't want to beat around the bush either." Gilbert said bluntly, "Is there any sign of recovery in Your Majesty's body?"

"Marquis O'Neill, what do you mean by that?" Eleanor's expression changed slightly, as if thinking of something.

She thought that what she heard today should be the Onions family leaning on the light shield, but she didn't expect to involve Jarvan III.

Recently, Laxana and the Crownguard have almost controlled all the government affairs of Demacia, and it will not be long before the power of Demacia will belong to the Crownguard family.

Gilbert glanced at Eleanor indifferently, and said in a hurry:

"Princess Eleanor, Your Majesty is not my age. With his physical condition, he should have returned to normal long ago."

"Impossible, no one can get close to the emperor under the supervision of the light shield barrier." Eleanor was slightly excited.

If someone really murdered Jarvan III, then the Light Shield is now in danger!

"In this world, what is impossible?" Gilbert said meaningfully.

With that said, he handed a document to Eleanor.

After Eleanor took it, she glanced up subconsciously.

Before he even glanced at it, his complexion had already changed drastically, and he was clenching the document tightly in both hands.

"Eldred... Suspected of possessing magic!"

"A few months ago, the Demon Seekers Corps purchased a batch of illegal drugs through secret channels. The effect is to make people unconscious and slow to death..."

"Silas and Eldred recently disappeared..."

"..."

Looking at the information recorded one by one on the paper, Eleanor suddenly raised her head, and her tone was filled with uneasy trembling:

"Marquis O'Neill, where did this information come from?"

"I used to be a glorious witch hunter~www.readwn.com~ There is always a way to install cronies in the Legion." Gilbert replied calmly, and there were countless shadows that were unpredictable in the old folds.

His intelligence came from the Noxus intelligence network and was 100% reliable.

Eleanor's lips trembled, her face turned pale, and her shoulders and even her whole body were shivering slightly.

Since accessing the document, she has not doubted its authenticity.

It was precisely because the content expressed above was true and reliable that she felt such fear in her heart.

The Crown Guards...have already done it, and they haven't noticed.

Jarvan III has been poisoned, next...

Eleanor was taken aback.

Your Highness Jarvan, there will be danger!

But she quickly thought of Jarvan's teacher Ryze, a mage with powerful magic, and Eleanor's expression softened a little.

At least neither the crown guard nor Eldred have the strength to defeat Ryze.

Seeing the change in Eleanor's face, Gilbert's eyes narrowed slightly.

When he is older, it is better. He can see at a glance what the young man is thinking.

Light shield...and hole cards.

But this is also normal, if there is no hole card, the crown will not come in person.

"Princess Eleanor, this document is my sincerity."

The implication is that if the two sides want to cooperate, the next step is the light shield to show sincerity.

Eleanor took a deep breath, put away the documents, and her expression became serious:

"Marquis of O'Neill, in the parliament hall tomorrow, you will see my sincerity!"
