We explained our purpose to Fiora, and she reluctantly saw us off, repeatedly reminding us to be careful, just like an elder advising their own children. 💚💎 ☝👤

As we were parting, I asked her if she knew a man named Devon from the House of Lightshield. Fiora told me that he was Garen's grandfather, who had passed away.

I was very surprised. Back in the Land of Charming Village, Charming Women Bliss had told me that Devon had taken Tiana away.

Since he's Garen's grandfather, then Tiana should be Garen's grandmother, so how did she become his aunt?

Thinking of Lux and the many blonde beauties of the House of Lightshield, I couldn't help but shudder. Could they all be descendants of Devon and Tiana? It seems the House of Lightshield is hiding quite a few secrets.

"Devon was the previous head of the House of Lightshield. I heard he was a womanizer in his youth and had many illegitimate children. There are rumors that Tiana is also his illegitimate daughter. Why did you suddenly ask about this?"

"It's nothing, I just heard some rumors about him while traveling."

I didn't dare tell Fiora the truth. Since Devon went to great lengths to cover it up, I decided not to expose him either.

After learning about this, we set off, and this was our third trip north of Freljord in just a few months.

On the way, Riven brought up Tiana again, her mind a little foggy. "Why is Tiana Garen's aunt?"

"Actually, I'm a bit confused too, but if I organize my thoughts carefully, I can get a general idea..."

I shared my assumptions with Riven:

When Devon was young, he traveled abroad and later, for some unknown reason, ended up in the Charming Village and fell in love with Tiana. However, he already had a wife, so he could not bring Tiana back to the House of Lightshield in a legitimate way.

As time went by, Devon became the head of the House of Lightshield, and he could control many things. So he announced the existence of Tiana to everyone. Since the Charming Women does not age, he said that Tiana was his illegitimate daughter, so that he could bring her into the House of Lightshield.

As for Devon's other illegitimate children, they were probably all his and Tiana's children. Bringing them back now would cover it all up with his reputation as a womanizer.

Even Fiora knew about these things, which shows that they caused quite a stir in Demacia at the time. As time went by, these romantic escapades became a kind of legend and were passed down by people.

After Devon's death, these things were forever forgotten. Who else could cross the Laos River to reach the Charming Village like we did?

If my deduction is correct, then Garen's so-called aunt is actually his grandmother!

That's why the House of Lightshield has the bloodline of a blonde beauty! That's why Tiana was able to become the head of the House of Lightshield!

Riven wasn't surprised; instead, she looked at me with admiration. "I think you're right!"

"Alright, let's just treat this as casual conversation. Whether it's true or not, this kind of thing shouldn't be revealed to the world."

"I have no intention of telling Garen."

"Even if you tell him, he won't believe you, haha..."

Regarding the prophecy of the Sage Tabor, I currently have no idea. In Freljord, the Avarosa are currently the dominant power; we can't very well offer them aid against the Deno Army, can we?

Riven thought for a moment and offered a different idea, "Actually, there's another tribe we've overlooked: Sejuani's Winter's Claw."

"You mean we should lend Sejuani a hand?"

"I can't think of anyone else. At least she's not an enemy right now, and she just activated her Blood of Ice."

"Shall we go find her?"

"Let's thank Jon first; he shouldn't have gone far."

Following the army's footsteps, we arrived at Avarosa. This time, only Jon's Axe Breaker Legion was sent to Avarosa, but this still represented one-third of Demacia's forces.

Many of the surrendered mage units are now under Jon's command. Despite being the murderer of his father, Jon did not discriminate against them, but instead implemented Jarvan's policy: treat them as equals.

This approach greatly motivated the mages, who were originally Demacia and unwilling to leave their homeland. Now that they had been forgiven and embraced, they naturally put aside their doubts and devoted themselves to protecting Demacia.

Jon was overjoyed to see us recovered and wanted our help. "If you two want revenge, coming with me would be a good choice."

"Thank you for helping to heal us, but I'm sorry, we received a prophecy from the Sage Tabor and now we must put it into practice."

"Since that's the case, I won't keep you any longer. Come find me anytime if you need help!" Jon very polite, and the arrogant attitude of the House of Dali was completely changed.

We headed straight northeast, and halfway there we encountered the Noxus army, whose advance was much faster than that of Demacia.

Seeing that we had recovered completely, everyone was relieved. Having advanced all the way here, it was time to slow down the offensive.

"Forget about any prophecies, let's fight our way back! I'll see who dares to touch my little Riven!" Kled roared in fury.

"Is it just Riven? What about me?"

"You? Go find whoever you want!"

"..."

"If it weren't for Yasuo, I would be dead already. Don't talk about him like that, General Kled."

"If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have survived this injury!"

"But the prophecies of the Sage Tabor have always been accurate; we cannot ignore them."

"Did he foresee Sylas's rebellion? That almost destroyed Demacia."

"If you could predict everything, wouldn't you be a god? Don't stop us, we'll take our revenge in our own way."

"Fine, do whatever you want, I don't care anymore."

Kled finished his tirade, Darius finally spoke, "Tell me your prophecies."

"Sincere friends extended a helping hand, and the mighty tribe was saved from dire straits."

"A desperate situation turned into a life-or-death one?" Darius pondered for a moment, then continued, "Does this mean you're being asked to help a certain tribe?"

"It should be, but besides Avarosa, I can't think of any other tribe here that's considered powerful. Riven Winter's Claw, so we want to go check it out."

"Winter's Claw, then go take a look. But there's one thing you haven't figured out: there are countless powerful tribes in Freljord, but many simply don't want to participate in the war."

"Darius is right. Many tribes are unwilling to participate in wars, and many are difficult to organize. Avarosa is just larger in scale," Kled added.

Well, after what these two people said, I'm at a loss again. If there are countless powerful tribes, then I really don't know who to turn to.

Let's stick to the original plan and go check out Winter's Claw first!
