I'm in Demacia, I just became a mage

People can't just think about themselves.
Li Weisi stopped in time, waited until the two of them finished washing and had breakfast.
Levi wrote a letter of greeting to the king, and Lacus acted as a dog-headed military adviser to give advice on the appropriate wording, and finally sent a knight from the Crown Guard to Dawn Castle.
Lux also has to write a letter, in the name of the Crownguard family, to send greetings to the nobles of the same level in the kingdom, and prepare suitable gifts according to the recipients.
Fortunately, there are not many big families who need greetings from the crownguard family. Ms. Sybil brought the list, and according to the practice of previous years, it will not make too much trouble.
After finishing these more important matters, we had lunch, and in the afternoon, nobles began to visit us.
Since most of the nobles have to guard their own territories, the families with a little more power come from the eldest sons and eldest daughters sent by their families to Xiongdu. Only the minor nobles in Xiongdu will come in person.
But even this makes Lacus a bit clumsy. She is not good at socializing. Although her etiquette is very standard under the strict family education, she is not as tactful as those socialites and sons who go to various dances and salons at a young age. .
Li Weisi's communication skills are not the same either. He has never been in the noble class of Demacia, and even the etiquette has many mistakes and omissions.
As a result, the two of them walked back and forth between the main hall and the reception room with some embarrassment throughout the afternoon, the smiles on their faces froze, and occasionally they looked at each other with Lacus, and the two laughed for a while, rubbed their faces, and then went on under the command of Ms. Sybil Meet another visiting guest.
There were also some small episodes during the period, for example, some sons of great nobles would say: "Miss Mianwei has become the most beautiful gem in Xiongdu." In the words, there was a meaning of wanting to marry the Mianwei family.
At this time, Li Weisi would interject with a smile: "Not only that, Lacus is also the brightest pearl of the Shurima Empire." He said that he was ready to propose marriage to the Crownguard family.
Of course, when some young ladies saw Levi's eyes shining, Lacus would grab Levi's clothes and let him express that he was ready to propose to her.
Afterwards, the two complained to each other, and in the end Li Weisi lost slightly because of his previous convictions.
After four o'clock in the afternoon, there were no more nobles worthy of Lacus' personal reception. She had to put on complicated dresses and prepare to take a luxurious carriage to Dawn Castle to attend the king's ball.
The rest of the minor nobles who came to visit will be received by Ms. Sybil—the chief butler of Miss Laxana Crownguard, and they will never feel that the Crownguard family is rude.
Levi dislikes the rustic traditional dresses of Shurima, and it is not appropriate to wear Demacia's dresses to the ball as an ambassador.
In the end, he simply used the usual double-breasted dress, and then added some luminous runes on the edge of the sleeves. The faint violet light made the plain dress look deep and mysterious.
Lux had to wear her most hated high-heeled shoes, sparkling jeweled hair accessories, and gorgeous long dresses with intricate patterns, lace pendants, and whalebone bustles.

Chapter 480 Chapter 11 The Ball, the Stars, and the Engagement
After the preparations were completed, the two got into the prepared carriage and headed to Dawn Castle. Lacus looked out the window, closed the curtains, and poked Levi.
"Help me solve it."
She turned sideways to reveal a hidden buckle fastened by the skirt at the back, her posture was very dignified, her back was straight, and after Li Weisi unbuttoned it, the girl exhaled in one breath, and her whole body seemed to collapse.
"So I've always hated this kind of skirt. I can't breathe. I really don't know how the designer who designed this skirt imagined. It's murder."
Levi thought about it, and found that his only memories of clothing were Blue Star's modern skirts and studio skirts from some TV dramas. They looked good, but they might be dismissed as vulgar creations by nobles like Demacia.
The nobles didn't like Piltover's dress, thinking it was too exotic, vulgar, and not elegant enough.
The little maid Annabelle often acts as a mouthpiece, telling herself that the nobles think the dresses she wears are mediocre and simple.
So I spread my hands and said that I couldn't help: "Fortunately, I only wear it for important occasions, and try not to wear it in normal times. This skirt will cause great harm to people if worn for a long time."
I remember seeing it on station b before. This kind of skirt with waist and chest is no less harmful to women than the one with small feet, and it is even more harmful. The feet are nothing more than walking slowly and unsteadily. Wearing this kind of skirt Over time, it may cause deformation of internal organs and affect breathing.
This is also why European women at that time fainted because of emotional agitation, not because of low blood sugar or high blood pressure, but simply holding their breath.
"Who wants to wear this kind of skirt, isn't he afraid that one day he will die because he can't breathe." Lux took a few deep breaths before she felt more comfortable.
As the carriage drove away from the aristocratic district, the number of people in the surrounding streets increased significantly. They took to the streets wearing beautiful clothes prepared for this day, and the hawker shops launched various goods and snacks for sale. The crowd laughed, talked, and quarreled The sound was mixed with the crying of children, and occasionally someone howled.
The lights are bright, and the jade pot is shining brightly, which really has a prosperous atmosphere.
Lacus looked at the scene outside from the gap in the curtains, her eyes fell on those young couples, she smiled enviously: "I really hope we are just ordinary people, and we can participate without any burden or scruples."
"Why don't you come out after visiting the king later?"
Sample? "
Lux thought about it for a second, then shook her head: "Leaving the table early? That's too rude."
Levi just smiled.
The fireworks traded from Piltover exploded in the sky into brilliant light rain, and the festivities of the festival were comparable to the verses in the poetry books of the ancients of Blue Star.
On the day of the festival, the grand square was lent by the king to the people to celebrate, and the nobles entered the palace directly from another road, shuttled through the royal garden, the mansion area where the servants lived, the king's villa and some other gardens, and arrived at the Castle of Dawn.
The square outside the castle was full of carriages. The nobles brought their wives and their favorite children to support the king. The inner servants who were valued by the king were guiding at the gate of the castle.
With a bitter expression on his face, Lacus asked Li Weisi to buckle his skirt again. Before getting out of the car, Li Weisi suddenly remembered something, and took out two brooches shining with warm golden light from his pocket. Sun disc.
"I forgot about this thing. I wanted to give it to you before, but there were a lot of accidents in Demacia, so I forgot about it."
"I asked Azir to choose a small gift from the Royal Inner Treasury of the King City. It is not a funerary object. The effect is nothing but good-looking. It contains a small amount of power of ascension. After wearing it, it will subtly enhance all aspects of the body's functions. The effect cannot be said to be non-existent, it can only be said that talking is better than nothing.”
"It's so beautiful! Thank you." Lux didn't care about its supernatural effect, and played with it curiously in her hand. Unexpected gifts always make people happy.
The two got out of the carriage and greeted some aristocrats they knew. This was considered a relatively formal occasion, and their words were rigid back and forth. Some perceptions and actual actions that will be implemented are no fun.
They probably don't know that the Shurima Empire may only have a port city not controlled by the emperor and a dilapidated royal city at this time. Piltover and Zaun are considered special administrative regions and are not controlled.
Then the two of them followed the waiter's guidance to the side hall of the castle. Prince Jarvan was busy communicating with a lord at this time. When he saw Levi and Lacus entering the hall, he quickly ended the topic and walked over.
After some daily greetings, Prince Jarvan was a little apologetic: "Sorry, Lacus, it seems that Galen won't be able to return to China this year. The situation over there is a bit complicated and has something to do with Noxus..."
He didn't elaborate, but Lacus understood. She quickly suppressed the worry in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you don't need to apologize, brother is a soldier, this is his duty."
"It's good that you can understand." Prince Jiawen heaved a sigh of relief. He has a good relationship with Galen and regards Lacus as his younger sister, so his speech and attitude are more like daily communication with family members, and he turned to her. marriage.
He glanced at the eye-catching Shurima sun brooch of Levi's and Lux, and joked with interest.
"Don't delay if you want me to say, when will you get engaged?"
Lacus clenched Levi's hand a little bit, her eyes wandered, but her ears were pricked up to listen.
"Come on, I'm going to discuss it with Lacus, and she will decide the time," he said.
The girl stopped looking at him and raised her head slightly. The dazzling chandelier, the solemn dome and the hallway where she happened to glimpse the military flag hanging in the room also became more beautiful.
After bidding farewell to Prince Jiawen, the two found a quieter place to sit down, and Li Weisi brought two glasses of white wine and some desserts from the waiter.
Li Weisi saw the lady from the Laurent family called the Unparalleled Swordswoman, Fiona Laurent, at the edge of the crowd, and to be honest, this was the first time she had seen her.
Not as old-fashioned as Tachi-Eri, in his 20s, with short hair, beautiful facial features, sharp temperament, wearing a male dress, drinking wine indifferently, out of tune with the surrounding environment.
However, because he had never met her before, Levi would not act too familiar, and said to Lacus, "I saw the legend of the Laurent family, go and have a look."
With the mentality of collecting stamps, he went over to say hello with a glass of wine, and then quickly sat back beside Lacus.
The strange foreign ambassador came to say hello, which made Fiona a little puzzled, and even began to think about when she had dealt with this Shurima ambassador.
Lacus narrowed her eyes slightly and leaned over: "Does Weiss know Miss Laurent?"
"No, I just heard her legend, so I came over to say hello out of curiosity." Levi smiled calmly, and Lacus glanced suspiciously: "Trust me for now."
"For now? Am I that untrustworthy?"
"Oh, yes, Miss Philos, Miss Gilaman and—"
"They...are accidents."
"Who knows if there will be a few more accidents."
"I was wrong, sorry."
"Humph."
-------------------------------------
When Levi's was completely defeated, King Jarvan III began to preach in ordinary clothes.
Most of them are wishes for the well-being of the people in the coming year, the prosperity of the country and the harmony and exchanges between neighbors, and then the guests are invited to celebrate.
At the end, the nobles raised their wine glasses to wish the prosperity of Demacia. After drinking some wine, Lacus also raised her wine glass, her small face was covered by a corset skirt.
Some flushed.
After the ball officially started, the orchestra in formal attire began to play soothing tunes, and the nobles each looked for their male partners, and their female partners began to dance gracefully on the dance floor in the hall.
"Let's go too!" Lux grabbed Levi's hand and joined in.
Li Weisi actually can't dance, but with the reflexes and body control of an extraordinary body, he can dance in style under the guidance of Lacus.
After finally finishing a dance, Lacus's forehead was covered with crystal beads of sweat, her face was rosy, and her crystal-clear eyes were breathtaking. Li Weisi helped her to sit on the seat, "I'll go back as soon as I go." he said.
Lacus wiped his sweat, drank a little wine, and watched Levi walk towards the king. The two seemed to be greeting each other. side.
Li Weisi came back soon, "You can leave the table, should we go now or take a rest?"
"Ah?" Lux was stunned for a second, "That's what you asked His Majesty for?"
"if not?"
"But you are the ambassador of Shurima, and this is the king's ball, there is no need, so His Majesty might be dissatisfied with you, and..."
Lux was talking, she stopped talking, and Levi was listening to her while tasting snacks, when suddenly there was a silence, surrounded by music and people's conversations.
"What did you just say?" He leaned closer and asked.
The girl's eyes were like crescent moons, she laughed and didn't say anything, just murmured softly in her heart.
I love you.
-------------------------------------
The two rested for a while, and Li Weisi found a corner where no one was paying attention, and took Lacus into the star realm.
No matter how many times humans look up at the starry sky, they will always be attracted by this boundless and silent deep space for the first time.
"It's so beautiful..."
Lux's mind was taken away by the magnificent starry sky, she held Levi's hand, and let him lead her forward, her clear eyes were filled with starlight, and she lowered her eyelashes, looking at the back of the young man in front of her, laugh it out.
"It's beautiful." She repeated.
