Chapter 134 Shadow Following Glory
Demacia's capital.
In the Crown Guard family mansion.
A young and beautiful girl sat at the desk, writing something on a book with a feather pen.
She had long, beautiful golden hair, and seemed to have just taken a shower, with soft and tender skin.
She was wearing a home dress made of Freljord ice silk, and her golden hair was decorated with an exquisite handmade headband made by Piltover.
At her prime, and as the daughter of the Crown Guard family, Laxana Crown Guard should have been a carefree lady.
But her face was full of sorrow at the moment.
'Is my brother really in danger? '
She wrote lines of delicate handwriting on a book that looked like a diary.
It was amazing.
Every time she wrote a sentence, the handwriting of that sentence would slowly fade, as if someone else had read it.
'Garen experienced a huge setback in the war with Noxus and understood the power of magic. ’
“The power of magic”
When it comes to magic, Laxana sighed lightly, and the annoyance on her face became even worse.
She has a secret that no one knows except her magic book.
Born in one of the most prominent nobles in Demacia, she is a mage.
‘Was my brother defeated by a mage? ’
She continued to write on the pages with a feather pen.
The magic book in front of her was a gift given to her by a wandering mage when she met him by chance.
There is a harmless and knowledgeable soul in it, which helps her solve many confusions and troubles.
She can feel that the light magic in her body does not resist the magic book, and regards it as a kind thing.
Laxana believes that magic and this time are together. She even wants the soul in the magic book to be her teacher, but she hasn't said it yet.
The magic book quickly replied with a text:
‘I saw light and darkness shining in the sky, and your brother struggled to survive in it. ’
“A clash of two powerful wizards, I wonder how I compare to that light.” Laxana’s face was eager to try.
The soul in the magic book said that she had an extremely powerful wizard talent, and she could even rank second among the people the other party had seen.
In the past few years, she secretly learned a lot of useful magic.
But there was one thing that she was more concerned about.
She didn’t dare to reveal her identity, for fear that others would regard her as an alien and take her away and expelled by the magic hunters.
She often had such nightmares, which would wake her up every time and she couldn’t sleep all night.
It wasn’t until she learned some self-protection spells that she felt much more at ease, but she was still afraid of the day when she was discovered.
‘One of the warring parties was once called a god. ’
The magic book seemed to be able to hear her whisper, and a line of text appeared.
Laxana opened her mouth wide, but this time she didn’t say it subconsciously, but wrote with a feather pen:
‘God? Is my brother okay? ’
‘The battle is over, he is safe, but he must have suffered a lot of trauma. ’
“He has suffered a lot of setbacks since he was a child, so there shouldn’t be any big problems.”
She tilted her head and thought about it, writing and erasing, thinking and writing again.
Finally, after hesitating for a long time, she couldn’t bear it and wrote on the page:
‘Is there anything I can do to help him and the family? ’
The magic book is like a wise mentor, helping her avoid many detours.
‘Demacia will undergo great changes in the future, especially in the attitude towards magic. Why not try to stand up and call on those who don’t hate magic. ’
“Me? I can’t. I’m not my brother.”
Laxana’s expression was complicated.
Because his brother often didn’t have a political mind, his aunt Tiana would also tell her a lot about the family.
She knew what her aunt meant, her brother was good at charging into battle, and the family needed someone who had lived in the capital for a long time.
Just like in the previous generation of the Crown Guard family, her mother Ogasha was in charge of the family’s internal affairs, while her aunt Tiana was in charge of external affairs.
As a direct descendant of the Crown Guard family, she was born knowing that she had only two choices.
One represents the Crown Guard family, and the other marries into the Light Shield family.
But she actually prefers the latter, because she doesn't think she is better than her brother, nor does she think she can be better than her mother.
But now.
She seems to have a new choice, standing up and following the identity she should have.
Before she does it, she doesn't know what the future will be like.
But this path seems to have a fatal temptation for her.
'I am a mage, I am afraid.'
She thought about it and wrote down her concerns.
The demon hunter is her nightmare.
'You don't need to reveal your identity, you just need to represent another idea of the Crown Guard family. The brother is upright and follows the orders of the kingdom, and the sister is kind-hearted and merciful. '
"Kind. Am I really kind?"
Laxana murmured to herself, remembering an experience she had once left Xiongdu.
That time, the Crown Guard family's convoy encountered the demon hunter army, led by his uncle.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!
They were escorting a child covered in wounds to the border.
The child had done nothing wrong, just because he was a wizard.
And she watched the boy being whipped and abused by the demon hunters, and finally watched him being taken away.
‘Remember the kindness in your heart, and don’t become numb because of seeing too many tragedies.’
Another sentence was written on the magic book.
Laxana stared blankly at the words on the magic book, tears welling up in her eyes.
This sentence was not the first time it appeared in the magic book, but every time she read it, she would have different feelings.
Just like now, it seemed that a heavy burden suddenly pressed on her, making her feel like she couldn't breathe.
Laxana kept breathing in and out, trying not to let her tears fall.
She really wanted to stop those demon hunters, but she didn't know how to do it.
She was a wizard herself, and she was really scared! She was afraid that the demon hunters would rush into the Crown Guard's house and suddenly take her away.
She didn't dare to think about that day, so she didn't even dare to use her identity to help those people.
Obviously, she only needed to say one word, and they would suffer less.
At least they would not make things too difficult for those poor people along the way for the sake of their uncle.
'Shadow follows the glory.'
Four golden words slowly appeared on the magic book.
Lux silently recited this sentence, feeling that she could understand a little, but still confused.
She had clearly given up the glory and followed the darkness in her heart.
"Shadow cannot be tolerated by light."
After a long time, she wiped the tears that had not yet fallen with a handkerchief, muttering to herself.
Laxana's delicate cheeks were unprecedentedly firm.
Her power came from light, but she could not practice the real light at all.
At this moment, she made her own decision.
In order to save more people, even if she became the darkest darkness.
She was also
willing!
In the past, she chose to retreat.
But now if Demacia really has room for choice, if she really has the opportunity to do something.
She doesn't want to escape like before.
'I will definitely seek justice for them, and I will definitely work hard for my brother and family. What should I do? '
'Believe in your aunt, she has prepared for you. '
This line of text quickly flashed on the magic book.
"Aunt Tiana."
Laxana glanced at the sky, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.
After changing into a formal outfit and tidying up her appearance, she picked up the candlestick on the table and walked out step by step.
