The Truth Revealed

Sivir's laughter was as usual, without the slightest change. She quickly tidied her clothes and placed the sleeping child in the crib.

How did you find your way here?

"I... I have something I want to ask you."

"What's up?"

Is this your child?

Sivir was silent for a moment, then her smile faded. "Did you hear something from someone?"

"I've met Riven. She told me about it, and she said this child... is mine."

"Then what?"

"Then I wanted to know what exactly happened in Piltover that night, do you remember?"

"Ha, you ask me if I remember? So you've already forgotten?"

"I haven't forgotten, but I feel like it was a dream."

"If you think it's a dream, then it's a dream. It's okay, I'll raise him well." Sivir's expression was somewhat grim.

"No, I'm not trying to shirk responsibility, I just want to know the truth, what exactly happened to this child..."

Before I could finish speaking, the woman who had just gone out returned. She pushed open the door and entered, pointing a sharp spike at me.

"Get out! Strangers are not welcome here!"

"I..."

"Get out!"

The woman gave me no chance to explain; if I dared to utter another word, she would immediately stab me.

I had no choice but to leave the cabin, and the woman followed closely behind, determined to get rid of me.

"Get out of here right now, or this spike will pierce your throat!"

"I don't know what your relationship with Sivir is, but I have something very important to discuss today, and I'll find out even if it kills me!"

"Alright, then I'll grant your wish!"

Sivir and the child were still inside the cabin, so we couldn't fight there. I withdrew and waited until I was a little further away before stopping.

Regardless of her relationship with Sivir, she probably won't be able to have a proper conversation without defeating her.

The woman thrust forward with a sharp spike, like a broken spear, her moves similar to those of a spear, only more agile and varied.

I didn't want to fight her, so I summoned Wind Force to control her. The wind cage was stronger than steel!

The woman struggled a few times but found she couldn't break free. Suddenly, her aura surged, her size increased several times, and she was surrounded by Golden Light!

Besides its humanoid form, it also had a pair of beautiful wings on its back. Just by looking at it, I couldn't tell what kind of animal it was, but I knew it was a peacock.

I've seen her like this in the Ascended Realm; she's Calista, Ascended from the same era as Nasus and the others!

Nasus, Renekton, Oken, Djis, and Calista are the five Ascended who emerged after the Void War. Calista is the youngest, and it's unexpected that she's now with Sivir.

After Calista transformed into Ascended, she broke free from my restraints, and the spikes in her hands became even larger. I knew that the spikes were not her Ascended Weapon; her true weapon was the unseen tail feathers behind her.

The larger she is, the better for me, but I don't want to hurt her. "Stop, Calista, I don't want to hurt you."

She paused slightly, seemingly wondering why I recognized her. "I know you're powerful, but don't be arrogant!"

After saying that, she retracted her spikes, suddenly unfurled her tail feathers, and did a peacock-like display!

This is a kind of illusion attack. She once used this move to trap the enemy in a city, and after that battle, the emperor bestowed upon her the title of "Peacock Goddess".

I immediately closed my eyes, focusing on bracing for her next attack: the peacock's poisonous feathers in the illusion!

The attacks came raining down like a storm. I used my Wind Force to protect my body, closed my eyes, and launched a counterattack. Soon, I had the Gale Sword against her neck.

"Don't hurt her Yasuo!"

Hearing Sivir's shout, I sheathed my sword and slowly opened my eyes. Calista no longer had the strength to sustain the illusion.

"I'm sorry, Your Queen, I..."

"This isn't your fault, Calista. He knew about your attacks, but you were completely unaware of him."

"He not only knows you, but he just called my name. What's going on?"

"He entered the Ascended Realm; he was the one who helped me ascend, Yasuo."

Calista was even more surprised to hear this, and a look of guilt appeared on her face. She then apologized to me.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were the admirer the Queen was referring to."

"You did this to protect her, you don't need to apologize."

"Admirer"—I don't know how to deal with this label. In the past, I would have ignored it or even said something to her, but now I can't.

Sivir ignored Calista's words, leaving her outside, and took me back to the cabin.

"You want to know the truth? Then I'll tell you: the child is yours. That night in Piltover, you initiated intimacy with me..."

Sivir spoke candidly about the situation, which was completely different from my memory:

The night after the meeting of the Seven Kings, Sivir begged me to tell her stories, but she fell asleep soon after, vaguely feeling someone stroking her.

She opened her eyes and saw it was me. She was reluctant to accept, but in the end she did, and naturally, lovemaking ensued.

The next day, seeing that I showed no abnormalities, they assumed I didn't want others to know, so I reluctantly returned to Shurima, and soon discovered that I was pregnant.

Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't have hidden it, but at that time, the Light Organization had just been established, Runeterra was full of threats. She didn't want to cause me any trouble, so she chose to keep it a secret.

Later, I went to Shurima to find help, Sivir volunteered to come with me to Ionia. She was a little disappointed to find that I didn't mention what happened that night, but she still didn't tell me.

Later, as her belly grew larger, she knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she left alone and didn't return until after giving birth, just in time to find me fighting Aatrox.

Thinking of Sivir's dejected expression earlier, I finally understood what had happened; she had been bearing so much all by herself!

Regardless of the truth, I should apologize. "I'm sorry, I really didn't know anything about what happened between us."

Sivir looked at me, a hint of anger slowly creeping onto her face. "I know you Riven, and I didn't intend to cause you any trouble. You can leave now."

Well, now that's it. Sivir thinks I'm pretending to be stupid and don't want to take responsibility.

What should I do? At this point, I was completely flustered. Riven and Sivir were telling the same story: I was the one who took the initiative!

But in my memory, I really couldn't move at the time, and I felt nothing at all.

After thinking it over, I felt that neither of them would lie to me, and I preferred to believe that there was something wrong with my memory.

Of course, this problem didn't arise out of nowhere; someone must have been behind it!

Someone is trying to harm me!
