In front of the throne, there are two winged statues symbolizing Demacia. They look like Morgana's wings hanging upside down, which are very similar to Galio's wings.

At this time, Jarvan III was sitting on the throne in the center of the Hall of Valor.

He wore a golden crown on his head, held a golden scepter symbolizing royal power in his hand, and wore golden armor made of pure gold. A pure white cloak hung on his shoulders, and a white knee-pad with a blue edge hung naturally in front of him.

Due to the baptism of time, Jarvan III's hair and beard are already white.

Behind him stood two men and one woman, among whom was Barrett, who Li Lin had been with all the way and was quite familiar with.

The other two were both wearing Demacia-style rune steel armor composed of blue, yellow and white, and equipped with the wide and heavy shoulder pads characteristic of Demacia.

Among them, the man with an Ionian face was holding a spear, with his black hair tied up high in a ponytail, hanging naturally behind him.

The other woman had long golden hair that fell over her shoulders. She stood straight with a stern expression, her hands behind her back, her slightly raised chin and extremely cold eyes gave people the feeling of being a superior looking down on everything.

Even without using "data-driven thinking", Li Lin could recognize them at a glance.

Xin Zhao, the Seneschal of Demacia; Tiana Crownguard, who had just been appointed Grand Marshal of Demacia from the Crownguard family; the aunt of Garen and Lux, and the wife of Eldred, the leader of the Demon Seekers, through a political marriage.

It seemed that he had heard the footsteps coming from the corridor a long time ago. Li Lin and Jarvan IV had just arrived at the Hall of Valor when Jarvan III stood up with a hearty laugh and quickly came to greet them.

Barrett, Xin Zhao and Tiana followed closely behind him.

Jarvan III first focused his gaze on Li Lin, who was the leader of the crowd, and then glanced sideways at Morgana, one of the legendary sisters who protected Demacia.

Not only the king, but also Zhao Xin and the cold Tiana were shocked when they noticed the black wings extending from her shoulder blades and shoulders, locked with iron chains.

As a king, Jarvan III was stunned for only a very short moment before quickly recovering. His tone was unconsciously filled with respect as he said, "Forgive me for not being able to welcome you back..."

Tiana behind him frowned slightly, as if she felt that the king should not be so humble to others.

Besides, the woman in front of him was wearing a veil and headscarf when meeting the king, and he hadn't really confirmed the identity of the Winged Protector...

At least she hadn't heard of the rumor that the Winged Guardians were actually a pair of sisters.

Why did His Royal Highness the Prince bring back two people who can perform magic this time?

Tiana quickly glanced at Morgana and Shyvana with a sharp gaze.

Li Lin is the prince's benefactor, and she would not target him for any reason.

As for Zuo Yin...

It's just a little kid, and it seems like he has some relationship with Li Lin. Are they brother and sister?

Tiana felt dissatisfied and alert at the same time.

But just as she opened her mouth to scold Morgana, she caught a glimpse of Barrett looking at her with his face slightly sideways, his brows also slightly frowned.

After a brief eye contact, Tiana knew that this was Barrett's "warning" to her, and he didn't want her to act rashly.

Therefore, the words that were on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back and eventually turned into a deep breath.

Even without using magic, Morgana's perception was still sharp, and she naturally noticed the changes in the expressions of the two people behind the king.

This country has changed so much...

Morgana sighed inwardly, not liking this politically charged environment.

"You don't have to be so respectful to me." Her voice was very flat.

Facing Jarvan III's puzzled gaze, Morgana explained, "In the past, when my sister and I... when Kayle was still the winged protector of Demacia, we, at least to me, treated everyone equally."

A look of realization flashed across Jarvan III's face, but the excitement in his eyes was unconcealed. "The Winged Protector has returned. Our Demacia will once again embark on the road to glory and live forever! Hahahaha..."

After a brief exchange with Morgana and some sighs, the king's face slightly restrained his excitement and looked at Li Lin who was standing in the front row next to him.

"You are the savior my son mentioned, Li Lin from the Piltover Giraman family, right?"

Li Lin crossed his arms over his chest and bowed slightly, performing a standard courtesy to Jarvan III. He said in a voice neither humble nor arrogant, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Good, good! Young and promising, young and promising!"

Jarvan III took two steps forward and patted Li Lin on the shoulder. "You are my son's savior. He is the only bloodline of the Light Shield family. This kindness is something that the Light Shield family can hardly repay!"

He paced back and forth in thought, and finally stopped and continued to look at Li Lin.

"But no matter what, as the King of Demacia, I have to express my gratitude...

"How about this? I'll make you the honorary lord of the town of Sassari, on the Demacia plains south of the capital. You'll enjoy all the power and most of the taxes there. How about that?"
