She stood still for a while, running in a tight corset was really torture. When her breath calmed down, she turned around and walked towards the banquet hall.
I have to find my aunt.Lux made up her mind, she could guarantee that Eldred's fight with that mage was definitely not a good idea.
The leader of the Demon Seekers Association brought a mage who looked like Viscount Albert to the king's small library. God knows what they want to do. Is it to let the mage protect the king?
Lacus quickly came to the banquet hall, but she didn't expect that the banquet was over by this time, her aunt and Prince Jiawen didn't know where to go, and many nobles were saying goodbye to each other.
Then, she saw Eldred standing on the other side of the crowd - and he was looking at her at this time.
He was smiling and said something silently.
I know you are a mage, my dear Lux.
Lux understood the shape of his mouth, and her face suddenly turned pale.
He knows I'm a mage!
This fact made Lacus fall into the abyss.
She felt cold all over, as if the nobles around her didn't exist, and she seemed to be abandoned in the wilderness, facing Eldred alone as a demon hunter.
She knew that once Eldred revealed her mage identity, all the nobles around her who had shown favor to her would become enemies, and this strong Dawn Castle would also cause her head to bruise.
And at that time, even if I reveal Eldred's conspiracy, no one will believe it. Who will believe a mage's words?
I will only be arrested by Eldred, and my aunt, brother, His Highness, and Your Majesty can't help me.
Lacus felt a little helpless, and when she stood there feeling a little helpless, a figure appeared in her heart.
There is one person who can help himself.
Thinking of that person, her flustered heart calmed down a little.
, even though she knew he was just a mage who just escaped from prison, but for some reason, she felt a sense of security when she thought of him.
He must have a way.
Lux had an inexplicable premonition, she took a deep breath, returned a provocative look, then quickly turned and left.
"Ms. Sybil." Lux walked gracefully into her exquisite carriage engraved with the family crest of the Crown Guard: "Go back to the villa on Queen Street."
"Good lady." Ms. Sybil is an elderly woman with long brown hair and green eyes. Through the face etched by time, it can be seen that she was also a beauty when she was young.
She was wearing a black dress with exquisite workmanship, and her expression seemed to be eternally silent. After she waited for Lux to enter the carriage, she entered the carriage with the same graceful posture.
Accompanied by the soft shout of the coachman, the carriage quickly disappeared into the night.
Is she threatening me?Eldred laughed as if watching a child's farce.
He murmured softly: "I'm so sorry, my little Lux." Then, he turned and got into his carriage, and headed for the residence of the Demon Seeker Association.

the other side,
As soon as Lux's carriage left the Grand Plaza, she immediately said to the driver:
"Mr. Will, can we go back to Queen Street from the other side?"
"Of course there is no problem, miss. Which way do you want to go? I am familiar with every block in Xiongdu." The coachman named Will said loudly.
Lux thought for a while: "Let's take the road over Trundle Street, but please hurry up."
She said that she wanted to pull her corset through the skirt, and just about to stretch out her hand, then she retracted it resentfully under Miss Sybil's quiet gaze.
Trundle, that's come full circle.Will, the coachman, faced forward and couldn't see what was going on in the carriage. He was stunned when he heard the lady's order, but he nodded and said, "No problem, miss, please sit still."
"Ha!" Will the coachman snorted lightly, shaking the reins slightly.
He couldn't bear to beat this good horse that had been with him for many years, and the horse was also somewhat spiritual, so it sped up after hearing the order.
The horseshoes stepped on the wide and flat street, and there was a rhythmic sound of kicking and kicking.
Lacus sat quietly on the seat, her gray-blue eyes staring at the receding scenery outside the glass window, a little dazed.
What happened tonight gave her too much shock, although she forcibly suppressed all kinds of emotions just now and made some more rational actions.
But now, sitting quietly in the carriage, with nothing to do but wait, chaotic emotions and all kinds of wild thoughts flooded up.
What does Uncle Eldred want to do?He already knew that I was a mage, did the aunt and the others know?
Who is that mage?Is it His Majesty's order for him to sneak into the palace or...
Lux suddenly recalled Eldred's oppressive appearance just now, his eerie smile, and terrifying silent words all reminded her to abandon her fantasy.
After all, she was only a 16-year-old girl, and she was caught by someone who buried her in her heart, and her youthful and graceful body trembled slightly.
With her intelligence, she naturally understood that the worst possible situation was likely.
Lux subconsciously twisted her slender and fair fingers together, and the white gauze gloves were slightly wrinkled.
Reason told her that was the case, but emotionally, she couldn't imagine——
The leader of the Kingdom's Demon Seeker Association, the eldest son of the Eldred family, the great lord of the Tobysia region, and the husband of the Demacia Marshal Duke Eldred turned out to be a traitor.
This is simply too sensational, how much impact will such a high-ranking traitor have?How will the safety of His Majesty or His Highness be violated?What will happen to Demacia in the future?
And the imminent crisis that frightened her even more was—when would he, her uncle, Ferdinand Tobycia Eldred, send someone to arrest her.
Maybe it's just to intercept yourself on this road!
Lux originally thought that this kind of situation might happen and made the coachman Will detour, but it is still unknown whether he can escape the pursuer.
She clenched her teeth tightly and clenched her small fists.
Okay, come on, I'm not afraid of you, this is Xiongdu.
She first looked in the direction of the villa, and the gentle white light cast by the elegant street lamp reflected hope in her gray-blue clear eyes.
Will he see my light and come to save me, just like the last time, like the sun, with endless warmth and brilliance to dispel the evil that hurt Demacia and me.
When Lux thought of Fossbarrow, she still faced the devil alone, but in Jinpo Town, when the situation was more urgent and dangerous, he came to save her.
But this time... it might be too late.
Lux slightly lowered her butterfly-like eyelashes, the distance was too far, if Eldred sent someone to intercept him, even if he saw my light, he would definitely not be able to make it in time.
And my big friend.
Lux then looked out of Xiongdu, too far away for her sight to reach, but she knew there stood a Demacia guard who could protect her forever.
It also
Can't help myself.
She looked down at her hands, the catkins under the white gauze were faintly shining.
This time, I can only rely on myself.
The carriage quickly drove into the Trundle District, which was located north of Queen Street and closer to Dawn Castle.
There are no residents here. They are all embassies of allied city-states and commercial buildings established in Xiongdu by various regions of Runeterra. They are diplomatic special zones, and most of the buildings inside are also built to serve these friendly foreign countries.
In terms of straight-line distance, the Trundle District may be closer to Queen Street, but since there is a Lightbringer Temple separated from it, it takes a long detour to get there.
And just as she was walking to the edge of the block and was about to leave, Lacus heard the faint sound of horseshoes in the distance.
Could it be that the ambassadors who attended the banquet returned to the mansion?
Lux thought about it, she subconsciously looked out the window of the carriage, only the elegant street lamps were still casting gentle white light on the empty street, she thought for a while and vetoed this idea.
My carriage ran at full speed because there might be someone chasing me behind, so why should the ambassador's carriage catch up to me?
Is his horse faster than mine?
Immediately afterwards, the sound of hoofbeats began to approach slowly.
When they just left the Trundle area and walked to a large park connected to Queen Street, the sound of horseshoes came from the left and right sides.
It's the magic seekers, they're coming!
Lux finally determined who was coming. Through the glass window of the carriage, she saw those demon seekers wearing half iron masks from a distance. There were at least dozens of them, riding war horses and fully armed.
"Mr. Will, please hurry up!" Lux had to urge, as long as they entered Queen's Street, they would not dare to intercept their carriage openly—even if they were mages.
After all, the Crownguard family's status in Demacia is second only to the Lightshield royal family.
Ms. Sybil was sitting opposite to Lacus, she frowned slightly when she saw Lacus's loss of composure: "Miss, pay attention to your demeanor."
"There's no time to explain, Ms. Sybil. But trust me, this is the critical moment." Lux stared at her, her gray-blue eyes full of determination.
This made Ms. Sybil, who was used to seeing the rebellious, coquettish, and always energetic Lacus, a little dazed.
It turns out that the girl who was so young has grown into a qualified champion.
"Is something going to happen? Miss." Ms. Sybil asked, but her posture was still upright, and her expression was as calm and quiet as ever, as if she was asking about an ordinary matter.
Lux looked at the demon seeker who was getting closer, and her face became visibly anxious, until she finally found out that she really couldn't escape.
She pursed her lips, revealing beautiful pear dimples on her cheeks. She quietly took off the white gauze gloves on her hands, and the brighter iridescence instantly illuminated the entire carriage.
"I'm a mage, Ms. Sybil, they came to arrest me. You don't seem surprised at all?" Lux was a little puzzled.
Ms. Sybil's face remained unchanged, "I only know that you are the one I want to protect."
She opened the hidden compartment under the seat, and took out two bright silver daggers with a unique aesthetic shape and a strong Demacian style, and skillfully played swords.
"It's been a long time since I touched them, maybe they're a bit unfamiliar, but it won't weaken the name of the Fearless Pioneer."
Then, under Lux's astonished gaze, Ms. Sybil clasped her fists on her chest, which was a military salute for a fearless pioneer.
"I am the former shield commander of the Eighth Shield of the Fearless Pioneer, Irene Sybil. It is a pleasure to fight with you again, Crown Defender."
So handsome!Lux's eyes sparkled. She had always wanted to be a person who could get rid of the shackles of the surname Crown and get rid of the female label.
Under the elegant and cute appearance hides a young mage with an adventurous spirit. Further, she wants to become a hero of Demacia.
"I should have guessed it earlier. Aunt must have been your sword captain, Lady Sybil, wasn't she?"
"It's like this. When we hit the gray gate in Noxus, General Tiana led us to support, but I was seriously injured in that battle and had to retire. After that, I followed General Tiana until After you grow up a bit, Miss, General Tiana recommended me to be your housekeeper, and I can also protect you by the way."
Ms. Sybil explained while being vigilant of the witch seekers who were approaching constantly around her.
