Considering the outcome of the duel between Lux and Fiona, this is a true prophetic oracle, and if word spreads, countless people will fall into the arms of the Illuminati again!

Moreover, unlike the previous situation, even the silent people who are loyal to the Winged Sisters will also be involved in the struggle - by then, one by one, all the nobles will not have an easy life!

However, at this critical moment, Lux admitted failure, refused the oracle, and neatly endured the punishment of the stone crown, blocking all the next paths of the Illuminati in one sentence.

Stop talking, I will take the punishment myself!

In the silence, Lux raised the broken sword high.

"In the name of Laxana Crownguard, I bear the punishment of the stone crown and climb to the top of the giant to avoid the shame of defeat!"

"If you don't climb to the top, if you don't forge a broken blade, if you don't defeat this defeat, you won't return to Germany!"

As Lux took the oath, all the nobles took off their hats and put their hands on their chests to express their respect for her.

On the surface, this is for Lux's honesty in admitting her failure and her openness in accepting her punishment.

In fact, it was because she truly sacrificed herself for others - sacrificing herself to benefit all the nobles.

Regardless of their relationship with the Crownguard family and Lux, at this moment, all nobles—even the king—are willing to pay their respects to her sacrifice.

Although according to the usual style of the nobles, no one who endures the punishment of the stone crown will actually climb Mount Targon. In fact, it is almost equivalent to exile, but in this case, that is no longer important.

Lux stood up to the big thunder for the nobles and chose self-exile. The nobles were naturally happy to turn her into a harmless idol. I can't praise her enough!

Moreover, Lacus did such a beautiful job. It was obviously to block the expansion of the Illuminati for the nobles, but the reason was that he lost the duel. It was well-founded and could be used to publicize it, no matter who.

There's no problem - you see, the old bishop's face almost turned green after hearing Lux's oath.

There is no way!

In the midst of the tributes that took off their hats and stroked their breasts, many nobles suddenly discovered that sometimes having a "noble model" around them is sometimes a good thing?

……………………

In the end, a duel ended cleanly and unexpectedly in a way that no one could have imagined.

For the common people, the version they heard was that "the noble and just Miss Laxana was tied in the duel, but she was willing to admit defeat because she was at a disadvantage, and she was punished with a stone crown."

For the nobles, they successfully curbed the expansion of the Illuminati, and also caused the recently prosperous Crownguard family to lose a future star, causing a crack in the close relationship between the Crownguards and the Light Shield.

For the Crownguard family, Lux may not be able to return to Demacia in a short time, but the status of the entire family has officially changed from "loyal dogs following the king" to "free people attracted by the king and nobles" -

-In addition, although the marriage-type relationship failed, Fiona was willing to fight for the crown.

In the end, everyone benefited, and all the pain was borne by Lux alone.

As for the second half of the night on the day of the duel, there was a slight problem with the wall of the Forbidden Prison due to its "long disrepair". No one in the entire Demacia capital would pay attention to such a trivial matter.

So, what is going on with all of this?

Let's go back in time a little and review Kalja's entire plan.

First, there's Sona's part.

In the entire plan, Sona's task is to introduce a new force - the Illuminati.

Through Kalya's guidance, Lux left some "oracles", which attracted the attention of the Illuminati. Because of the seriousness of the matter, the Illuminati finally invited the Silent Man, who usually only serves as a inheritance, to identify the authenticity of these oracles.

Authenticity.

The Silent Man confirmed that the oracle was true, but the content was a bit unclear. Kalya left a very stern sentence: "God is watching here, waiting for the designated person to appear in front of God."

The Illuminati obviously doesn't know that there is Kalya, an old guy who watched Demacia being established, so even the Silent People who abide by their creed think it's time to spread the glory of the Winged Sisters again. That's it.

The Illuminati began to take action.

The silent people were preparing to welcome the oracle, while the secularists were planning to take the opportunity to attack the aristocratic power - there happened to be a draw in the duel, and thinking of a lose-lose second round, the bishop naturally couldn't hold himself back and jumped out.

Then, there's Lux's part.

Political issues are resolved by political means. Throughout the entire duel process, Lux always stood on the absolute moral high ground. She first stood up for her tribe and agreed to the duel; then she ended up with a draw in the duel.

Afterwards, he admitted his failure, maintained justice and curbed the Illuminati's excuses - these are the most upright parts.

At the same time, she also stood from the perspective of the nobility, followed the rules of the nobility, and protected the collective interests of the nobility. In addition, the punishment of the stone crown almost completely deprived her of her political rights. For such a person who would not compete for the power of the nobility,

She is a person, and all the nobles share her affection.

Here I specially name the two green grassroots Dili and Gaokan.

They did not get any actual benefits this time, but they had to become die-hard loyalists to the Crown Guard family. If they were even slightly disloyal, they would be ostracized by the entire aristocratic class.

Jumping sideways repeatedly?

Climbing high branches again?

Don't even think about it.

Fiona, who had never known Lux before, fully recognized Lux ​​and was willing to join the Crownguard family. After Lux swore the Broken Sword oath, she simply made a vow not to marry.

He swore an oath and simply joined the Ranger Corps.

It is precisely because of Lux's self-sacrifice that the Crownguard family has drawn her into a relationship with other nobles. She has truly accomplished what Tiana has been unable to do despite her previous efforts - despite the fact that Lux paid the penalty of the Stone Crown.

The price was high, but this punishment of the stone crown bought many favors at once!

Considering that Lux no longer stands in anyone's way, these favors are worth their weight in gold!

Finally, there's Ino's part.

This part is the simplest. On the title page of the book, Lux drew a magic circle for determination.

After the book was delivered to Ino, Lux directly destroyed part of the walls of the Forbidden Stone Prison that night, allowing Ino to increase his crime in the name of "prison escape".

What's interesting is that after this duel, Tiana's attitude towards the relationship between Lux and Ino took a 180-degree turn.

Before Lux even asked for Ino to come out and go to Mount Targon with her, Tiana took the initiative to change Ino's punishment to the Stone Crown punishment, which was the same as Lux's.

Tiana's meaning is very obvious, Stone Crown Punishment cannot bring guards, and Ino is the guard and maid prepared by Tiana for Lux.

Through this operation, Lux now has no political future. In this case, kindness and being receptive to the people are no longer a problem.

Even for the sake of Lux's safety, Tiana was happy to let Ino stay with Lux.

After all... Tiana has always loved her niece.

……………………

In the end, Lux's departure from Demacia was scheduled to be one month later.

It was also during this month that Lux accompanied the grieving Ogesha every day, trying to comfort her mother - she repeatedly promised that she would definitely return to Demacia and would never climb rashly.

Titan Peak.

"Believe me, Mom, I will come back with endless glory."

"Silly boy, I just want you to be safe and sound, even if you stay at the foot of Kalamanda Mountain and remain anonymous for the rest of your life!"

Kalya, on the other hand, consciously stayed with Sona for a month, trying his best to make up lessons for his students, and even left behind a set of "improving self-study textbooks".

In this way, under Kalya's dazzling calculations and operations, the capital of Demacia was in turmoil.

The whole incident ended with Lux swearing an oath with a broken sword, accepting the punishment of the stone crown, and climbing Mount Targon.

After the incident gradually subsided, Lux was surprised to find that the once hypocritical nobles rarely showed some sincerity when facing her.

She never expected that after stripping away her identity as a noble lady, she would be able to see the more real side of those people.

After all, to them, Lux is no longer a competitor, but more like a pure irrelevant person.

It was also at this time that Lacus clearly realized what Kalya often said was "the alienation of people by power."

The thing Lux once hated the most was the strife among the Demacian nobles, especially the young people in their prime - they could enjoy all the fun openly, but they always kept a straight face and ruined all the good things.

time.

Now, Lux finally understood that it was the struggle for power among the nobles and the very existence of the nobles that made them give up their natural innocence and have to follow the rules, put on a straight face, put on a mask, and ruin all the good times!

In this way, Kalya taught Lux her final lesson in Demacia.

Finally, on a summer morning a month later, Lux boarded the ship bound for Kalamanda.

Standing on the deck, she looked at the nobles in the port who were either sincere or hypocritical, looking at their waving arms and sweat towels.

Leaning against the ship's railing, she waved her arms toward her reluctant relatives and friends, as well as toward her confusion and doubts.

Her long golden hair shined in the morning sun.

Her blue eyes were as pure as water under the reflection of the ocean.

Goodbye, Demacia!

Goodbye, my hometown!

From today on, Lux will embark on a new journey!

Although he is only thirteen years old.

But girl Laxana is no longer troubled!
