The morning sun shone quietly on the pages of the book. The paper with ink was gently blown by the breeze, making a crisp sound.
"… According to one's labor, according to one's needs. Most of the unfairness is due to unfair distribution, only …"
Reading out the words he was reading softly, the reader's heart was filled with complex emotions. Those papers that clearly showed the problems in front of him, as well as those books that showed the solutions to them, all made his heart feel extremely complicated. This was because there was a fundamental difference from his previous views on life. Just two thin books made him feel like he had died once.
"This is really … impressive."
Letting out a sigh, the hot air in his mouth condensed into white mist in the cold air. The person who was reading the book lifted his eyes from the book and looked at the gorgeous envelope on the table.
Although the contents of this letter could also make people feel that the whole world had changed, for this person, this letter was no longer able to make him feel that the world was collapsing, or that his outlook on life, values, and worldview had been reconstructed. That man violently shattered everything and made him see something grander and more hopeful than his previous insistence. What made him sigh was that just as he was thinking about how to make the man change his mind and return to Noxus or kill him, the letter made all his plans and complicated emotions useless.
"Darkwill has fallen from power. The one standing on the stage now is our great leader, Li Ke, the empire's rising star."
After murmuring the words he read in the letter, the cloaked man, who had been reading the words Li Ke brought over, shook his head and chuckled. Then, he fell silent, leaned his head against the back of the chair, and closed his eyes.
The conversation between him and that man appeared in front of his eyes. His words of exasperation had actually become a reality. He really didn't know what to say about such a thing. He also didn't know how to meet the person who had almost killed him. The coward who chose to let him and his brothers go out of fear of Noxus's strength eventually proved that he wasn't a coward. He really had his own will and way of thinking.
He was a true Noxus people.
Shame and shyness appeared in this determined man. The blood feud between them wasn't an obstacle to his appreciation of Li Ke's talents. To be precise, even though he had mixed feelings and was dissatisfied with Li Ke for causing Noxus's borders to become unstable due to Darkwill's hasty death, he was eager to meet Li Ke and talk to him through the night to ask and confirm Noxus's future.
Even though Li Ke still harbored resentment and wanted to kill him, as long as he could prove that he could make Noxus stronger, this life of his wasn't something he was reluctant to part with. But if he couldn't let Li Ke see the empire's hope, then he had to keep his life. After all, he couldn't confirm if Li Ke's strength and influence were enough to complete the Noxus society he envisioned and ensure Noxus's safety during this period of time. Therefore, he was still a little hesitant, but this kind of hesitation usually ended very quickly because he was never an indecisive man.
Even though his decisiveness destroyed many things he cherished, most of the time, his decisiveness won him more things, so he never regretted it. Except …
His lover.
Just as he was thinking about his lover who had parted ways with him due to differences in ideals, a soldier who had just been recruited this year but had become his personal guard due to his tenacious will and outstanding talent walked out of the room. Then, a voice that still sounded a little immature rang out, causing him to become serious.
"General, this is a new order from the Immortal Fortress, and also a letter from … General Querieta."
This voice lifted his spirits. The order from the Immortal Fortress was one reason, but Querieta's letter also made him very excited. However, he concealed his excitement well and used a calm tone to give his order to the young soldier.
"Leave it here, Desius. Also, help me get a bottle of water. I still need to read for a while. Later, take my seal to the logistics department and pass it to … Hmm? Desius? "
Delius was giving out orders when he saw the young soldier reading the letter in his hand excitedly and nervously. He didn't put the letter down and didn't respond when he called out to him. It was obvious that he had fallen into a delusion because of something.
This kind of action could be fatal on the battlefield. Therefore, Teleus couldn't help but frown. He thought highly of this young man, so his tone became stern as he called out the young soldier's name again.
"Desius!"
The young soldier woke up from his daze. He almost jumped up when he heard Delius's stern voice. Then, he realized that he was being rude and didn't follow his superior's order. He immediately placed the letter in his hand in front of Delius and explained himself in horror.
"Yes! Sir … That, that was because Querieta … Querieta is in my hometown, so, so I miss my mother a little. "
He was terrified and afraid that Delius would punish him for this. However, Delius was stunned when he heard this sentence. He looked at this young man who had the same bright blonde hair as Querieta and couldn't help but think of his lover. After all, if they didn't go their separate ways because of their ideals, they would have had a child by now.
"… Alright, you may leave. But today's training will be doubled! You're a good young man. I don't want to see your head chopped off by Freldrod's men. "
Delius's heart softened for the first time in a long time, but he still punished the young soldier according to the rules. Even though the young soldier was still a little distracted, he didn't disobey Delius's order this time and left. After the young soldier left, Delius smiled and shook his head. Then, he picked up the document sent by the Immortal Fortress. After all, even though the letter from his lover was more important, he was now a military officer of Noxus, so government affairs had to be prioritized.
After he opened the letter, his expression changed because this letter was sent by Nola. The content of the letter was very simple.
It told him to be prepared to receive the new Emperor.
