"Are you Li Lin?"

Before Li Lin and Sona could continue their conversation through telepathy, Lux, who had slipped back from her mother's side, stepped between Li Lin and Sona, raised her little face and stared curiously at the handsome and strong man in front of her with an elegant temperament.

"My name is Laxana. Your Majesty just introduced me to you." Lux blinked, "But I prefer people to call me Lux."

"May the Winged Protector bless you, Miss Lux."

With a polite smile, Li Lin performed a noble salute to the little girl, who was only 15 years old and the same age as Kasa.

"May they bless you too." Lux lifted her skirt and knelt in return. "I heard Garen mention your deeds when he returned to Mithril City."

“Ahem…”

But before she could continue communicating with Li Lin, the sound of Kahina deliberately clearing her throat interrupted her thoughts.

Lux looked back at the stunned Sona, but her attention was quickly drawn to Kashina who kept winking at her.

As the king's right-hand men, the Buville family also has a very good relationship with the Crown Guard family. Every year when Lux returns to Xiongdu, she stays with Kahina for a long time.

The two of them have a very good relationship and can be considered good friends who can talk about anything.

The clever Lux immediately realized that it was Kahina who was signaling her.

She was stunned for a moment, her eyes quickly passed over Li Lin and Sona, and suddenly a look of realization appeared on her face.

"Kahinna, let's go find Sister Quinn."

She gestured across the hall to Quinn, who looked uncomfortable with this aristocratic gathering.

"Okay, okay! I was just planning to go look for her."

Making up a random excuse, the two walked away from Li Lin and Sona arm in arm, leaving them enough personal space.

But before leaving, Kahina raised her eyebrows at him, and her eyes suggested that he should seize the opportunity.

Lux mouthed "thank you" to Li Lin, put her hands behind her back, secretly raised her index finger and condensed a white light, which was anti-light magic.

Afterwards, she turned around and blinked her left eye at Li Lin.

This little girl is so bold...

Li Lin couldn't help but smile helplessly.

Although there were few outsiders in the Brilliant Hall, there were still many people watching, and her identity as a mage had not been revealed.

If some ignorant and loudmouthed person were to spread rumors and let the public know about it, given the current unstable situation, there might be another public opinion storm.

"Lacus said that ever since Lord Peter brought back the rumor that the king had ordered the abolition of the Forbidden Magic Codex, Lady Ogatha quickly found an Illuminator mentor for her.

“However, since arriving in Xiongdu, she has begun to study with Sister Kashina and I’s mentor, Aunt Meitiel, a famous healer.

"On the surface, she's skilled at using various herbs and potions to mix life potions similar to those of Ionia to provide aid to soldiers and those in need, but in reality, she's proficient in healing magic."

Sona slowly walked over to Li Lin, her eyes lingering on the backs of Kashina and Lux. "Aunt Meitir has taught us a lot, especially the control of magic. I can feel that the connection between me and Hua is even closer now."

Li Lin glanced sideways in surprise at Sona, who also turned her head to meet his gaze.

She paused for a moment, smiled sweetly, and continued, "But you know what? Among the three of us, Lux has the highest magical talent. Even Bishop Insabel was amazed by her talent for light magic.

"It's only been two weeks, and she's gone from being able to use light magic with some difficulty to being able to cast it freely now."

There was a hint of envy in Sona's words.

"But you can wield the ancient artifact, the Hua, and even use it to listen to others' thoughts. Doesn't that also demonstrate your magical talent?" Li Lin chuckled. "You're no worse than Lux. After all, every type of magic can't be lumped together. She has her strengths, and your magic can do things she can't."

Sona frowned slightly, pursed her lips and pondered for a moment, then relaxed her brows and nodded gently, "You're right, each of us has different areas of expertise. What I need to do is work hard to improve myself."

She looked back at the guqin case containing Xihua on the table against the wall, and reached forward with her evening shoes of a similar color to her skirt. She slowly approached her guqin, picked it up, and turned back to look at Li Lin.

"I recently learned a new piece of music. Would you like to listen to me play it?"

Li Lin raised the corner of his mouth, bowed politely, and then took the hand of Hua. "Of course."

…

…

Since today's banquet was not a formal banquet, Li Lin and Sona said goodbye to Barrett and left.

The Dawn Castle was crowded with people, all of whom were lords who had returned from outside to attend the prince's wedding in Xiongdu.

Sona doesn't like noisy environments, which affects her performance, so Li Lin took her out of the Castle of Dawn and to the garden next to it.

The fragrance of the newly opened lilies is refreshing. This was the place where Barrett proposed to Lestara for the fifth time, and their long-term love affair also came to an end at this time.

Sona once told Li Lin about her parents' love story.

A woman who hopes to become an illuminator and serve justice all her life, and a man who is willing to spend all his wealth for her and selflessly contribute to the people of Demacia.

Their love was romantic, so Sona loved the garden, especially the lilies that Lestara transplanted from here to her own home.

There were many other noble children who came to enjoy the flowers in the quiet garden, but they recognized Li Lin and Sona at a glance, smiled and nodded at them, and quickly left, leaving space for the two of them.
