德玛西亚……

This magnificent capital was made into a "city of light" by people from other parts of the Rune World!

It is a utopia where everyone lives and works in peace, and a paradise on earth far away from the erosion of magic and darkness!

今天的天气很好,

The blue sky and white clouds, the golden bay of the Sea of ​​Conquerors, the beautiful Demacia Antarctica, the beautiful Mithril City, the neat streets, the crowds and horses that travel around, as well as the beautiful white castle buildings from far and near, the unified Demacia blue roofs, tall fountains, and majestic statues. These elements are soft together, making this Demacia capital city look particularly charming...

However,

At this time, a blonde girl wearing white tight leather armor and a gentle gauze dress, lowered her head and wandered casually on the street with a little frustrated... She seemed to have something hidden in her heart, and was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery and breathe the temporarily free air as she used to... She just rode the tall horse of her guardian family in a little bored manner, allowing it to carry the heroine of her family, and wander aimlessly on the stone street where the crowd was playing and frolicking.

Perhaps it was influenced by its master, it seemed that it was not in a good mood now. It usually raised its head and raised its chest, but now it lowered its head and half-squinted its big urethra, and slowly moved its four hooves according to the previous route of the mistress on its back.

"Why……"

Lux has been feeling a little distressed in the past two days...

Because, I don’t know why, her brother Garen and her aunt Tiana suddenly decided to say: I want to marry her, Lax, the Laxa guard of her family, into the royal family of Demacia, and to the prince, Garven IV?

Although, Prince Jiawen has seen it himself. The other party is strong and tall, handsome and powerful, and is also the only bloodline of the royal family, which also means that he must be Demacia's next king!

but……

Lux still felt a little unhappy, or... could be said to be worried?

First of all, she was not very familiar with Prince Jiawen. She met him poorly and had hardly said many times. Apart from saying hello and basic greetings, she had never even been alone with the low-key royal family member. She had never been dating or something!

In addition to knowing that the other party was her brother Garen's friend, knowing that the other party was brave in fighting and a powerful warrior, she didn't know much about the other party. Basically, she and him were different people on two parallel lines. If it weren't for her brother and aunt mentioning it, she would definitely not have thought of such a thing.

Second,

She, Lux, is not an ordinary girl from the Mian Guard family. She has her own terrible secret. If it is leaked...

Therefore, she was shocked and felt very uneasy about the fact that her brother and aunt suddenly wanted to marry her.

Not only because of the things she was just considering, but also the big secret that was related to her own...

Because she didn't know that if the other party knew all her secrets, knew that she was a magician, and had been defiled from a very young age... would the royal family be shamed, and then, in anger, throw her to the Demon-Searchers and Demacia Lights to deal with it?

Lux didn't know about this, and he didn't dare to think about it...

"How great would it be if I could stay at home all the time, or if the Kingdom of Demacia could be a little more peaceful, and no longer persecuted the mages and eliminated the isolation magic?"

"only……"

"Why!"

As he thought about it, Lux sighed again.

It is conceivable, and even without a doubt, once she really succumbed to the nonsensical arrangements of her brother Garen and her aunt Tiyana, even if she really successfully married Prince Jiawen, her little secret will definitely be discovered by the intimate people around her, and that will definitely happen!

At that time, will those of them choose to protect themselves, acquiesce to the existence of magic in her and her body, or will they choose to hand her over in order to maintain the dignity of the law and maintain the royal dignity?

She knew nothing about this...

But it can be imagined that in the Kingdom of Demacia, after the terrifying rune war thousands of years ago, after a long period of banning demons, magic almost became innate... And once she was determined to be a magician, I am afraid that the royal family would not risk the descendants of the royal family being defiled with demons, and continue to tolerate her existence, thus shame the entire royal family and shake the foundation of the royal family's rule!

The Demacia Kingdom now cannot tolerate a magician princess, nor can it tolerate a demon-defiled Jiawen V!!

So, now Lux is really distressed, she doesn't know what to do...

But she knew that if there was no good way to solve the increasingly uncontrollable magic and the "light" that was not accepted by outsiders, she would definitely not have a good ending!

The increasing power hidden in her body is the root of her misfortune!

At that time, whether she rejected the kindness of her brother and aunt, or married into the royal family by surrendering to the other party's wishes, the result would definitely not be very good! Anyway, Lax would never want to be imprisoned by those demon-searchers in the Forbidden Demon Prison, and then forced to be injected with the Forbidden Demon Stone potion every day by those rude guards, or simply exiled to the depths of the Valoran continent and expelled from the home of Demacia?

But……

Even if she doesn't want to do that and doesn't want to cause trouble to others, is she really not a good idea... The power in her body is like a curse, which has been deeply entangled with her, making her feel a terrible suffocation... Moreover, it has become increasingly difficult to suppress recently. Even if she has tried her best to suppress or completely eradicate it, she has no idea at all.

"Um?"

"Strange, those guys...what are they doing there?"

Lux, who was strolling while thinking and soothing his annoyance, suddenly looked up and found that in front of the notice wall in front of him, many people were gathering and hustling, pointing and discussing loudly, not knowing what they were doing.

So, she hesitated for a while and felt a little curious. She clamped her long legs in tight leather pants slightly and began to take the initiative to ride a horse and move forward, intending to see what was going on?

Reward Notice

Yesterday, in the ruins of the rune war in the south of the city, many precious corpses of Demacia dragon birds were found! After identification, the precious dragon birds were suspected to be burned to death by vicious magic... The perpetrators' methods were extremely cruel and the magic threat was extremely high...

Therefore, any Demacia citizen who knows about this and reports to the Search Demon or Demacia Light will receive a heavy reward of one hundred Demacia gold coins...

Hereby announce!!

The newly posted notice seemed to be just that one. After just a few glances, Lux finished reading it, and didn't think there was anything too strange. As for the old and expired ones, she didn't read it much.

“…”

It's really strange!

Lux didn't quite understand why such a simple reward notice from a new post attracted so many people to watch here?

In short, as far as she knows, whether it is the searching demons or the people in the Light of Demacia, they often offer rewards to capture any magic they discovered and expel magic and reveal their traces! And now, this seems to be just a mage attacking a few dragon birds, and it seems that it should not attract so many people to watch and stop here.

"ah!!"

However, before Lux could figure it out, she turned her head and saw another scene that made her feel heartbroken:

On the other side of the notice board, surrounded by the crowd were a group of demon-searchers and a large number of Demacia soldiers escorting two large prison vans! And inside, a group of men, women and children with very depressed expressions and even sobbing tears... Lux could tell from their clothes that those children must be a group of people from the Demacia Kingdom!

However……

At this moment, their poor and helpless little guys were being locked in a prison car, waiting for handover like a group of lambs to be slaughtered. Then, next, they would definitely be locked up in the terrible demon-forbidden prison next to the Secret House, waiting for the trial of the law and an unfair judgment on their fate.

And this is obviously the real reason why so many people gather here to watch and point fingers!

Because most of the children who were imprisoned in the prison van, even all of them, could not come back... Because Lux himself knew that all the people taken away by the Demon Search have never returned!

She had never heard of the devil-searched person being arrested by mistake or illegally, so those arrested were undoubtedly Demacia citizens!

Most of those people were either tortured in the Forbidden Demon Prison or exiled to the inland far away from the Kingdom of Demacia to fend for themselves...or, they died in a wet and dark cell that was not seen in the sun?

“…”

Lux looked at the children who were held in the prison car, and the more he looked, the sadder and sad he became, because she was proud, and she and them seemed to be the same kind of people?

And she always felt...

If she does not have a good way to hide the increasingly powerful "power" in her body, she will surely be arrested and imprisoned in the Demon-Search Prison like those helpless children not far away, right?

By then, I'm afraid no one can help her!

Even if her brother Galen, who loves her the most, is not good, and even... she is not good at protecting the Mianwei family, which has been passed down for thousands of years and has supreme reputation and power!!

Maybe,

The man who was detained in the Forbidden Demon Prison, Silas, should she go to contact again? After all, judging from the current situation, the other party's words seem to be correct. She must plan for herself earlier and get what she needs from the other party?

The Demacia Kingdom is now walking on an increasingly extreme road. If she cannot change the entire country, she must first change and protect herself!

And that Silas could see the difference between herself at a glance and said so many valuable words. I guess, maybe it could really help her?

"stop!"

"Madam, please back and don't get close to the prison car!!"

Just as Lux unconsciously instigated the horses to approach the prison van in contemplation and hesitation, trying to see more clearly and see the children who were about to accept their tragic fate, a soldier in silver-white Demacia steel came over, and with a cold face, he put the sharp spear in his hand and shouted loudly, blocking the way her horse's way forward with the axe blade beside the tip of the gun.

“…”

"I'm Laxana Guard, I want to know what's going on with these kids? I saw that many of them don't seem to be dangerous, and they're all kids, but why are they being held here?"

A group of children who don’t seem to be very dangerous, even if there is magic in their bodies, generally speaking, this kind of benign "disaster disease" should not be arrested or imprisoned, and only needs to be observed and guided at any time.

Therefore, Lux was also puzzled by this while hesitating and sad!

"Ah! It turns out that he is the lady of the Mianwei family?"

"I'm really sorry. Please forgive me for not seeing your family badge clearly..."

When the soldier heard Lux's words and saw the emblem on the chest of the other horse's horse, he quickly stood attentively, withdrew his weapon and spear and bent down to salute.

“…”

However, Lux ignored the soldier's attitude, but continued to frown, looking at the group of "criminals" who were detained in prison vans, depressed, and even many girls were sobbing in low voices, crying so hard that their eyes were planted.

She just wants to know now, these drawings, why were they imprisoned in a prison van!

She clearly remembered that the Kingdom of Demacia should be more tolerant of children with such benign "disaster disease". As long as they do not show threats and use their abilities, they should not be arrested by the Demon Search, nor should they be detained here like they are now!

"Report to Miss Guard!"

"This is the thing...they are the children who have been infected with demons, are the 'inmates' who searched for the demons from the town of Maitridge and the surrounding villages. Because their disasters are likely to turn them into a wizard, so..."

"Although we also know that most of them have not made any mistakes, and although most of them are still children and have not caused any trouble to anyone, you may not know that the law has been revised now..."

"The top leaders of the Kingdom are discussing a law: any citizen known to have magical abilities, whether benign or not, is required to be taken away for trial, and there are no exceptions for all mages in the Kingdom!"

"So, we are ordered to assist in the search of the demons and bring them to the capital, waiting for detention and being judged by the court..."

Speaking of this, the soldiers will not say much.

Law is law, even if they are still children, they have no choice...

The lessons that the rune war a thousand years ago brought to the Kingdom of Demacia were really too painful. After all, the entire kingdom was formed by the refugees who survived that war. Therefore, for the safety of the kingdom and the survival of the people, they had to do this.

The Demacia Kingdom now can no longer tolerate any magic!
