Because they were standing with the Bouviers and Kashina, they didn't notice Sona's expression.
But Jarvan IV, who was sitting across from them, was different. "Are you feeling unwell, Sona?"
He restrained his teasing smile and bowed slightly in a gentlemanly gesture. "If it's because of my inappropriate remarks just now... I apologize."
Jarvan IV did not spend much time with Sona, as she was adopted by the Bouvier family during the Noxian invasion of Ionia.
At that time, the prince had already obtained the Demacia royal family's ancestral Dragon Spear and began to learn martial arts from Zhao Xin, so he didn't have much contact with her.
Therefore, Jarvan IV was not as casual with Sona as he was with Kaheena.
While the Bouvier couple and Kashina turned their heads, Sona quickly suppressed her surprised expression and pretended to be calm.
"Are you okay?" Lestara caressed Sona's face with concern. "If you're not feeling well, I'll take you to rest first."
[No, mother, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me.]
Sona held the wooden box between her arms and gestured with her hands.
This is a unique sign language invented by the Bouviers when they first adopted Sona because they couldn't speak her language and wanted to communicate with her.
I just...
She glanced at Li Lin and paused her gestures. Her face, which was already as red as a ripe red apple, would not turn any redder.
[But, I think Li Lin is pretty good.]
Li Lin could see that this was an excuse Sona made up in order not to reveal that they could communicate through mind communication.
But this caused other people to misunderstand, and their expressions and eyes became quite meaningful.
"Everyone seems to have misunderstood something... I'm sorry, it's my fault." Li Lin quickly apologized to Sona in his heart.
But she didn't care about these things. Her heart was filled with joy that someone could hear her voice.
"It doesn't matter. After all these years, you're the only one who can hear my voice... I, I'm so happy!"
Sona's eyes were wet with excitement.
But in order to prevent her parents, sister and the prince from noticing anything unusual, she suppressed her excitement as much as possible.
Behind Jarvan IV, Shyvana, who had not been used to this kind of environment, had not spoken a word. Her eyes flickered and her gaze lingered briefly on Li Lin and Sona's faces, as if she had noticed something.
Zuo Yin, who mastered powerful astral magic, also came back to his senses and sensed the conversation between Li Lin and the other man through magic. His pair of beautiful eyes stared at Sona opposite him.
Another big cow trying to steal my man!
Although Zuo Yin felt disdain for Sona in her heart, she still unconsciously developed an inexplicable sense of unease and crisis.
As Li Lin and the no longer shy Sona locked eyes for a long time, combined with Sona's sign language just now, their actions caused the others present except Zuo Yin and Shivana to misunderstand something.
Kashina looked back in surprise, raising an eyebrow at her sister, Sona's delighted face.
My sister will also have a day when her heart is moved?!
Immediately, her gaze returned to Li Lin, and she secretly looked him up and down.
All Kahinna's knowledge of Li Lin comes from her father, and she doesn't know him very well.
If Sona is really interested in this man, she has to keep an eye on him for her sisters.
Barrett also had a cheerful smile on his face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Sona has reached this age...
Lestara glared helplessly at her husband who was grinning foolishly, then covered her mouth with her hand and coughed lightly, "Ahem... We should go say hello to the others."
After saying that, she nodded to Jarvan IV and Li Lin respectively, then signaled to Kasina and Sona with her eyes, picked up a glass of champagne from the tray of a servant passing by her, turned around and walked to the other side.
"I have to go with my mother." Sona bowed to Li Lin again, a trace of reluctance flashing across her face. "Can you come find me later?"
Li Lin smiled and nodded at her, and said, "I will, for sure."
Barrett stared at Lestara's back as he left, touched his beard, and felt confused.
However, he still said goodbye to Jarvan IV and Li Lin for the time being, picked up a glass of champagne and followed his wife and daughters.
Only Li Lin, Zuo Yin, Jarvan IV and Shyvana are left here.
"I didn't expect you to fall in love with your adoptive father's daughter, Sona, at first sight?" Jarvan IV nudged Li Lin with his elbow. "You have good taste."
"Your Highness, you misunderstood..."
We were just amazed that for some reason we could hear each other's thoughts.
Li Lin added another sentence in his mind.
Of course, the Bouviers never told anyone that Sona had magical talent, so he would naturally keep this secret.
Besides, the splendid hall for entertaining guests was crowded with people and there might be "spies" brought by Eldred to eavesdrop on other people's conversations and get hold of something against them.
"Actually, I'm already dating the young lady from the Gilaman family..."
But before he could say anything more, Jarvan IV smiled and patted his shoulder. "So what? Although my father only married my mother, we don't have a monogamous system in Demacia."
He raised an eyebrow at Li Lin, "If you two are in love with each other and you can treat Sona well, it is not impossible for your adoptive father to marry her to you.
"Besides, you're so talented, I think you two are a good match... You wouldn't mind Sona being speechless, would you?"
"How could that be?"
"Isn't that enough?" Jarvan IV raised his lip. "There are many outstanding young men of your generation who are interested in Sona. You should seize the opportunity."
“…”
Why did I just come up with such an excuse?
Li Lin sighed helplessly at Jarvan IV's intentional "matchmaking".
Just as he was about to extend the topic further, a new group of people suddenly came in at the door of the Brilliant Hall, attracting everyone's attention.
The chests of those men's dresses were emblazoned with the Crownguard family's "wings and shield" crest, and the dresses were adorned with sapphires.
Behind the elegant middle-aged man in the lead, there was a burly young man who was not much different in age from Jarvan IV, with dark blond crew cut hair and looked like a young man with a green face.
Jarvan III, who was originally talking to Morgana in the depths of the Hall of Radiance, hurried over and his hearty and loud laughter echoed in the hall.
"Pete, Pete, you're late today. You have to drink three glasses of wine first!"
Over here, the delighted Jarvan IV also waved to Li Lin, signaling him to follow him, "Haha, Garen is here! Come on, I must introduce him to you!"
Li Lin saw Zhao Xin following closely behind the king, then looked at Jarvan IV who was walking quickly towards him, and saw Garen who also had a happy smile on his face, and couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.
Now, I have finally witnessed the gathering of the "three best friends" in Debang Grass.
