The Good News

After Galio swallowed the white stone, bursts of silvery white light bloomed from his body, which complemented the golden light emitted by the cross blade very beautifully.💜😲 . cᵒpaw 🍧😎

The old, mottled marks on his body gradually disappeared, and his skin revealed the pure white luster of the Nullstone, making people marvel at Durand's exquisite carving skills.

"That's good. When you need me, just offer a few drops of Durand's bloodline, and I'll wake up. Little girl, are you disappointed? Haha..."

"Hmph! Sleep soundly!"

Galio, being rather petty, couldn't resist mocking Sivir at this moment. Sivir retracted her Khopesh, putting him to sleep again, and laughed.

"This big guy is so easy to fool. I just wanted to provoke him, but I didn't expect him to fall for it so easily, haha."

"You're so clever!" Jarvan praised her at the right moment.

Galio's size, it's unrealistic to expect him to go elsewhere; it seems he can only guard this place. But that's fine too, at least the Demacia region has one more protector.

Having resolved this matter, we immediately set off back to Silver City. On the way, I told everyone the purpose of our trip and recounted how I met Jax.

Jarvan has a good understanding of the current situation. Not long ago, when we founded "Light" together, we had already analyzed the current situation in all the places.

Garen hadn't heard about the disaster and was quite surprised, but hearing that Jax had taken a liking to Fiora's strength ignited his fighting spirit.

"Fiora and I grew up together. Now that she's going to fight the Vastaya, I can't fall behind!"

From the first time I met Garen, he gave me a sense of calm and seriousness, not at all like a competitive person.

It's been more than a decade, and by all accounts, he should be more mature by now, but I never expected him to say something like that.

This may also be related to his life experience. As the marshal of the Dauntless Vanguard, he had to prioritize the safety of Demacia.

Now that everything is going smoothly, he's probably starting to feel restless and wants to go out and see the world.

I believe in his abilities. Although he hasn't shown anything particularly outstanding yet, as a well-known champion in League of Legends, he's bound to achieve great things!

As for Jarvan, needless to say, he knew he had to leave the moment he saw me; in fact, he had been itching to leave for a long time!

"Finally, I can get some experience again!"

"You can't leave in a hurry. You have to go back to the palace. Caroline said she has a surprise for you!"

"A surprise? What surprise?"

"How should I know! Go back and ask her yourself!"

If Sivir hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. I had been thinking about Fiora's engagement ever since Garen mentioned Fiora.

Seeing me lost in thought, Sivir guessed what I was thinking, "Are you thinking about Miss Fiora?"

"You know too much!"

"You learned your swordsmanship from Fiora, and you always seemed quite disappointed after hearing the news of her engagement. It seems your relationship is quite special, hehe!"

Before I could even respond, Garen and Jarvan exclaimed in unison, "What?! Fiora's engaged?"

Seeing their expressions, I was a little surprised. "You didn't know? I thought such big news was known throughout Demacia!"

"Oh, okay, maybe we've been so focused on the Colossus that we haven't paid much attention to this."

Jarvan immediately felt relieved, but Garen seemed very depressed. At this moment Sivir quietly called me aside:

"Why does this Garen look so heartbroken? Could he like Miss Fiora? He just said he wanted to fight the Vastaya together, that's suspicious!"

"I definitely wouldn't have believed it before, but it does seem very strange now. Let's see when we get back!"

It got dark halfway through our journey, so we found a small town to rest for the night and rushed back to Silver City early the next morning.

Since Jarvan implemented a series of reforms, the status of the nobility has been greatly affected. Although the five great houses still maintain their reputation, they have also laid off many servants.

The other families are doing well, but the House of Lightshield seems quite deserted, after all, they are a single-lineage family.

Apart from a few guards, Caroline wandered alone in the large courtyard, looking quite lonely. She immediately beamed with joy when she saw us return.

"You're all back together!"

"I'm back, Caroline."

"My dearest Your Majesty, I've missed you so much! How's the research on the colossi going?"

"Everything went smoothly. I heard from Sivir that you had a surprise for me. What is it?"

"Haha, the reason I didn't have them pass on the message is because I wanted to tell you in person: I'm pregnant!"

Jarvan was taken aback upon hearing this, then excitedly tried to hug Caroline, but quickly withdrew his hand before it even touched her, appearing very cautious.

Those present offered their congratulations, and we offered our blessings again. Jarvan immediately decided to hold a banquet.

Such important news should naturally be announced nationwide, but there are many things to do right now, so there's no need for a big fuss. Jarvan only sent people to notify the well-known families, leaving the task of spreading the news to them.

The once deserted palace became lively again, with Dali, Laurent Family, Crownguard, and Taber all sending people to visit.

Just as I expected, Tiana was the happiest. She was the first to rush over after hearing the news, without mentioning a word about how the two of them had conspired to deceive her.

Witt, Caroline's uncle, rushed over upon hearing the news, arriving with Lux on the Angel.

Fiora came with Jergente; neither of them was dressed formally. She knew that after the banquet, she would be traveling with us to Ionia.

The banquet was like a family dinner; there was no music or dancing, it was very simple, and everyone gathered around a large table chatting casually.

Seeing everyone showering Caroline with blessings, Sivir reached out and touched her belly. "How wonderful! I want a child too!"

"If you have children, please let me be their Teacher!" Varus said solemnly.

"Soon! You should have figured out how to teach him!" Sivir said, glancing at me.

"Why would you want a child to look after me! Once we get to Ionia, I'll find you a man; there are plenty of strong men there!"

"I am Ascended, why would I care whether he is strong or not? Besides, I no longer need a man."

I don't know what she meant, and of course I won't ask—asking would just be a cruel joke!

Seeing everyone showering him with blessings, Jarvan tactfully changed the subject:

"Thank you all for your well wishes. Besides the news of Caroline's pregnancy, there's another important thing I want to tell you all today."

I thought he was going to talk about Galio, but instead he brought up Fiora's engagement!
