Lux's Farewell

Galen is relaxed and can enjoy the belated love.

But Katerina on the other side was completely different from him.

Katerina came here with her own purpose. For her, Galen was not only a very interesting man, but also an important member of the Demacia royal family.

In addition to personal emotions, this love affair, which was specially approved by the New Noxus Mission, was also obviously mixed with many other factors.

To be honest, this made Katerina rather awkward.

If she fought for Noxus, even if it cost her life, Katarina would not hesitate.

However, to fall in love in the name of Noxus, with a person I have a crush on... This can only be said to be as awkward as it is.

To be honest, this kind of long-sleeved and skillful task is really not suitable for Katerina, who was raised as an assassin since she was a child. In contrast, her younger sister Cassiopeia, who has lost news for many years, is more suitable for this kind of task.

Unfortunately, since Cassiopeia was arranged by her mother to go to Shurima many years ago, there has been no news. Tyrone, who had been guarding her all the time, returned in a hurry because of the civil war in Noxus, and then returned to Shurima. By the time Rema was there, there had been no news of her.

Later, as the civil war situation intensified and Swain came to power, Du Kecao, who was worried about his youngest daughter, seemed to have received some news, and never mentioned Cassiopeia again, and even Katerina is not allowed to mention her.

Under this situation, the only information Catalina knew about her sister was what Swain said. She seemed to be deeply involved with some "traitors".

The disappearance of the youngest daughter is obviously a heavy blow to a normal family—but the Kekao family is obviously not a normal family. After Cassiopeia disappeared, the only one who worried about her most was Tyrone, the "adopted son".

Even Mrs. Kekao, who had always regarded her youngest daughter as the apple of her eye, chose to remain silent, as if she was not the one who did her best to cultivate Cassiopeia.

What's worse is that during the Battle of Tobitsia, Caterina's mother, the dignified Madame Cacault, actually took advantage of the chaos and disappeared. After receiving the news, Du Cacault, who was already in poor health, collapsed on the spot. , the huge Kekao family fell apart so quickly.

In the end, only Katerina and her titular brother Tyrone were left.

Although she didn't say anything, the messy family environment made Katerina have a natural liking for Galen's "silly big brother" character. Although she still has a nominal brother left, Talon often puts Putting herself in the position of a servant made Katerina quite uncomfortable.

In the case of losing her family, her love for Noxus is the only motivation that supports Katerina to go on, but now for Noxus, she wants to use a twisted and awkward way to approach Galen.

Fortunately, Katerina is not a soft-hearted person.

Now that she has accepted this task, no matter how awkward it is, she must guarantee to complete the task!

With the feeling of sacrificing her own happiness, Katerina started a public-funded relationship.

But what she never expected was that although the relationship between her and Galen was heating up rapidly, and even she couldn't control herself, she didn't get any internal news about Demacia.

And through Galen, the elder brother, there is no chance of exerting influence on Laxana!
Whenever Katerina talked about these topics, Galen would only show bitterness, and then tell her that "Laksanna is no longer the little girl who listens to her brother", or "I have actually let go of everything. position, now I don’t have any power in my body anymore.” Yun Yun.

Katerina once thought that it was Galen, the thick-eyed, big-eyed scumbag, thinking that the other party had seen her intentions—but, after secretly following Galen for a few days, she finally realized that Galen, the German The elder brother of Queen Marcia was actually excluded from the center of power!

This... isn't it right?

Katerina knew Galen's ability.

Katerina could also see Galen's character clearly.

Coupled with the relationship between Galen and Laxana, Katerina couldn't figure out why he was able to stay at home.

Such a talented, honorable, and self-demanding person, who is also the emperor's brother, is actually not even a political figure in New Demacia...

To be honest, in this situation, Katerina was a little confused.

Confused, she began to carefully recall every detail of how Galen got along with her. After comparing the timelines completely, she finally confirmed that it was indeed because of him that Galen had the time to spend time with her. Now there is no work at all.

Realizing this, Katerina was completely dumbfounded.

Does this mean that Laxana has made up her mind that her brother will not get involved in any power?
Could it be that their relationship is not as harmonious as I thought?
However, on the second day, Galen found Katerina very happily and invited her to his family dinner: "Lax has not eaten at home for a long time, this time I have the opportunity, I must bring You go meet her."

Although I still can't understand the awkward relationship between the pair of brothers and sisters, but there are not many opportunities to face Laksana directly, so Katerina agreed on the spot without the slightest hesitation.

........................

Then, that night, she really attended a very ordinary family dinner as Galen's girlfriend.

The only participants in the banquet were the four members of the crownguard family.

Since Lux directly distributed the land after taking down the city of Miril, and took most of the aristocratic manors into public ownership after taking down Xiongdu, and dismissed the servants by the way, the result directly caused Augsa to have to Cook yourself.

Considering that Augsa has been a lady for most of her life, cooking is at the level of an elite member of the fried kitchen group, so except for a fruit platter, most of the dishes on the table are takeaways.

The family banquet was held at the main castle of the Crown Guard Manor. Although this was once the place where Laxana spent her childhood, like most of the manors in Xiongdu, the Crown Guard Manor was partly owned by the public—the garden is now a park. Yes, but because Lux's identity is a bit special after all, the castle of this manor has been completely preserved, and has not been directly transformed into a museum or library.

Without servants, it is not easy to take care of this castle with just a family of four. If it weren't for Lux's guardian guardian who would come here every day to simply blow a gust of wind and sprinkle water, the castle would be left to Ao Gesha, she can't handle it at all.

In fact, this is also the main reason why most noble manors have been transformed into museums or libraries. Although Lacus only abolished the privileges and status of nobles, denied the legitimacy of slaves, and imposed economic sanctions on nobles, it will occupy the A large number of manor gardens in Xiongdu land were confiscated, but most of the manor buildings were left to the nobles.

But the facts have proved that under such circumstances, nobles can't keep their own manors at all. Most of the glamorous noble manors will quickly become dilapidated without the servants who take care of them. If the young master and lady do housekeeping, it will kill them!

Although the aristocratic transformation carried out by Lux allows the aristocrats to rely on their own skills to obtain normal labor income, but this income is not enough to support them to hire domestic workers to clean up the manor for themselves.

Some of the slaves who worked for them in the past have now become the municipal maintenance personnel of Xiongdu, and some have left Xiongdu and returned to the countryside to allocate fields. They want to hire people to clean up the castle. This expenditure is of great significance to the loss of fiefdom and confiscation. It is almost impossible for the nobles of the capital who have a lot of extravagant wealth.

As a result, the nobles who lost their servants also lost their brilliance. Only a few nobles who are really capable can maintain the operation of their own manors by relying on their own craftsmanship.

And all this fell into the eyes of the citizens of Xiongdu, and as a result, their attitude towards the status of "nobility" finally produced a subtle change.

Maybe... the nobles are not as powerful as they seem?

Of course, Katerina doesn't understand these things that only the nobles themselves know. She is trying to walk the path of the nobles in Xiongdu, but she still can't understand this level of change and the things behind this change for the time being.

Katarina didn't understand Lux's purpose of completely eradicating the nobility, but instinctively thought that she was too kind - I heard that the old emperor of Demacia was teaching people to dance, and he himself Isn’t it a bit outrageous to still enjoy it?
In short, when Katerina entered the table, she was in a nervous and delicate mood. On the one hand, she was worried that Lux would see her purpose and embarrass herself and even New Noxus. On the other hand, she was worried that Lux would not be able to see it. For my own purpose, I don't want to talk to New Noxus at all.

However, when Katerina was scratching her head to organize her words and tried to take action in a field she was completely unfamiliar with, Lux showed amazing directness.

"If Noxus has some intentions to expand its territory and even drag Demacia into the water, then I'm afraid I have to persuade you to stop this idea."

Katerina, who was thinking and wrestling with the food, burst into sweat when she heard these words.

"This is not an official rhetoric, and it has nothing to do with posturing. Demacia has walked on the wrong path in the past and caused a lot of unnecessary troubles. So what we have to do now is to correct these mistakes and establish a new Demacia. Marcia."

Katerina was a little stiff, she wanted to nod subconsciously, but she always felt that doing so was a bit self-confident.

"As for Noxus...whether it's New Noxus or Old Noxus, it's not in my consideration, nor in New Demacia."

If Lux is telling the truth, then maybe this is also good news.

However, after a slight smack, Katarina felt a little uncomfortable - Lux's natural tone made her always feel that Noxus was being looked down upon.

Yes, you performed very well in the Battle of Tobitsia. At that time, the Black Rose in the Empire was also holding back. Mr. Swain died for his country, and Noxus was forced to split.

But if we take back the old land and completely wipe out those damned separatist nobles, will there be another Tobysia battle, and will Demacia be sure to win?
I heard that the Army of the Northern Territory showed strong combat effectiveness during the rebellion, and even convinced Jarvan IV.

But where does your confidence come from, that you can still maintain this attitude of winning in the face of the "complete body of Noxus"?

What the hell, I was underestimated!

Unable to help biting her back teeth, Katarina raised her head and looked at Lux with burning eyes.

However, Lux just faced her with a smile, her eyes narrowed into a beautiful arc, as if what she just said was just an ordinary and well-known trivial matter, not worth mentioning at all.

"New Demacia has always strived to solve problems and disputes through peaceful development." Although what Lux said was the official rhetoric that Katerina had heard many times, there was a natural meaning between the words, It feels incredibly sincere, "War is never a good option."

"So, Nasramei will end the trusteeship soon?" Catalina wanted to ridicule the other party for treason, but when the words came to her lips, she adjusted slightly and chose a less sensitive topic, "Then It's a good thing."

"Of course it's a good thing." Lux nodded slightly as if she didn't hear the sarcasm in her tone, "Shurima is a country with a long history, and Demacia has always attached great importance to the relationship with Shurima. relations between the two countries, and very much look forward to the normalization of trade between the two sides..."

Under the table, Katerina couldn't help clenching her fists.

Although Galen has always said that her sister is an upright girl, and Laxana's record also shows that she is extraordinary, but seeing the other party speak the most nonsense in a serious and sincere tone in front of her, Katerina still bears it. I can't help but feel a fire in my heart.

"That's great." Seeing that the atmosphere at the table was about to drop to freezing point, Catalina finally chose to take two deep breaths, and then gritted her teeth and said, "I am also very much looking forward to seeing Nashrami regain its autonomy. After all, there are many Noxian expatriates there..."

"Nashlame will be returned to the Shurima Empire." Lux dropped a bombshell with a smile, "If Noxus cares about the expatriates, then maybe they can talk to the emperor of Shurima. , maybe there will be unexpected gains?”

"???"

Katarina's small actions can't be hidden from anyone—or, her actions can only be hidden from Galen.

For Lux, she is a good mouthpiece, but unfortunately, although Lux is telling the truth, it seems that Katerina is not willing to believe it.

In addition to the mouthpiece, she is also... a future sister-in-law who seems to have a bad temper.

However, considering her brother's age and personality, Lacus always felt that this might not be a bad thing.

As for Katarina's Noxian background...

Sorry, Lux really doesn't care.
