United as One

Camille been here for several days, but the matter hasn't been announced yet because a representative from Shurima is needed, and currently only Sivir is qualified.

Upon seeing us return together, Jarvan, Darius, and others gathered representatives from various prominent families and sectors. Jarvan was the first to deliver his remarks:

"Siblings, we are suffering from the ravages of the Void. In this situation, we must unite as one to overcome this difficulty. Demacia has always been known for its unity and discipline, and I hope that you will continue to uphold this spirit in the future."

"United as one, we will defeat the Void!" the Demacia shouted in unison.

"I have seen your intentions. Very well, I hereby solemnly declare that from this day forward, all Demacia here shall obey Camille's orders; her will is my will!"

After Jarvan finished speaking, the five great Demacia families all expressed their support for his decision and their willingness to support Camille. Then Darius said a few words:

"Children of Noxus, unlike Demacia, we rarely emphasize discipline outside of our military, and I don't intend to establish any in the future. However, I must remind you of one thing: I support Camille, just like King Jarvan. If you dare to disobey her, then prepare to face the consequences. Don't come crying to me then!"

"Hahaha..." The Noxus burst into laughter.

"Alright, I hereby declare that Camille can take my place in carrying out the trial. Anyone who objects, come with me to the front lines; those who remain must obey!"

Support from Noxus representatives was not as strong, with many saying they would go back and discuss it, asking the people under their jurisdiction if they were willing to obey.

If you obey, then stay here; if you don't, then, as Darius said, go with him to defend the Heart of the Land.

Next, Ashe said, "My dear friends in Avarosa, we've always been called barbarians. It's not a derogatory term, but rather a reflection of our struggle against the harsh natural environment. How could we survive without being ruthless? But things are different now. We've come to a civilized land and met civilized people. We must humbly learn from them and gradually change our bad habits. I believe everyone will be understanding of us."

We support the Queen's decision!

"Very well, then I hereby declare that the Avarosa tribe is willing to obey Camille's orders, and everything will be handled strictly without mercy!"

Compared to Ashe, Sejuani's words were much simpler. "I won't say much more. What Avarosa can do, we must do better! Otherwise, without Camille's intervention, I'll break your legs myself!"

Regarding her statement, I only have one thing to say: simple, direct, and effective.

Sivir didn't speak immediately, because many Shurima people hadn't arrived yet. She first spoke about the current war:

"We once formed the Light to fight the darkness of this world. The Shadow Isles are darkness, the Vastaya are darkness, the Void is darkness, we are light, you are light, the dragons, the Yordle, the Vastaya, and so on are all light. Now, light and darkness are in fierce conflict. What should we do?"

"Destroy the darkness! Unleash the light!"

"Yes, we want to bring light, but not to destroy darkness, because where there is light, there will always be darkness."

"What does this mean? Shouldn't we be fighting for this?"

"Of course we must fight, we must fight with all our might! But what we must do is drive the darkness back to where it belongs; it should never appear on land illuminated by light!"

People fell silent, clearly trying to decipher the meaning behind Sivir's words.

I suspect Shetaka told her this. She must have some understanding of the Void to say something like "drive them back" instead of "destroy them."

Of course, whether we rush back or eliminate them, it's all the same to us right now, because we can't retaliate yet; just defending is already very difficult.

As we gain a deeper understanding of the void, many truths will inevitably surface, provided we are not destroyed.

After some time, as more and more Shurima people gathered around, Sivir finally brought up today's topic:

"You are representatives of the various city-states, tribes, and caravans of Shurima. Some of you may recognize me, while others may not. Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Sivir, a descendant of the Ascended Queen Setaka, and I am also an Ascended myself. Now that my ancestor Azir has perished, I wish to take his place as the ruler of Shurima. Are you willing?"

"Azir and the Vastaya nearly destroyed Shurima, and you want to take his place? I won't allow it!" someone was the first to object.

"He didn't betray Shurima; he was trying to kill the evil mage Xerath. If you don't believe me, you can ask the woman next to me. Her name is Calista, Ascended can transform into a half-human, half-beast."

After hearing this, Calista flew into the air, displaying a beautiful peacock form and radiating the power of Ascended to dispel people's doubts:

"I am Calista, the Ascended. People of Shurima, are you willing to submit to Queen Sivir?"

"I do!"

"I'd like to too!"

Someone shouted something, and the Shurima people below all knelt down. The legend of the Celestial Warrior has been praised throughout the world, and people have never truly forgotten it.

Seeing this, Sivir said with satisfaction, "Very well, then I hereby declare that all those who wish to live here must heed Camille's words, unite as one, be courteous to one another, respect the customs of different regions, and together continue the glorious and splendid human civilization!"

"We agree..."

The Shurima people echoed this sentiment, signifying that people from different regions are truly beginning to live together.

Camille, as the ruler, naturally had to say a few words, though most people didn't recognize her:

"Hello everyone, I am Camille. My ancestral home is Demacia, but I have lived in Piltover ever since. If you know about the Phiros Family and Hextech, then you will definitely be familiar with the name 'The Gray Lady.' I am the Gray Lady."

"What? She's the Gray Lady?"

"Probably, no one would joke around in a situation like this..."

"Can she guarantee fairness?"

People chattered and discussed for a long time, saying all sorts of things, until Camille spoke again:

"You don't need to doubt my impartiality; doubting it is useless. I will act according to the rules in my heart. Besides, I no longer belong to any country. From the moment I arrived here, I severed ties with Piltover and the Phiros Family. I belong only to the light, Camille of the Light!"

A few simple words were enough to dispel any doubts people had about this serious lady, and the vast majority of people accepted her.

I know that a considerable number of people are unwilling to comply, so we can only wait and work things out gradually. If all else fails, we will have to take coercive measures.

In extraordinary times, the law shows no mercy!
