Is it coming?
The contents of the letter disrupted all of Delius's plans. He looked at everything around him and thought about his current position and identity. He had an indescribable feeling. For a pure soldier, he shouldn't have such emotions, but for a person who loved his country, this anxiety was a matter of course.
He pondered for a long time before putting down the order in his hand. He picked up Querieta's letter and hesitated for a moment before putting it down. He was afraid that his heart would waver after reading his lover's letter and form an unfavorable opinion of Noxus. Therefore, he sighed and silently looked at the words that were spread in the world under the name of Li Ke.
"… Truth? I didn't expect that even I would be confused because of this … "
The words that Li Ke had forwarded to him did not actually change his worldview and will. They only exposed all the problems in front of him and gave him an effective solution. He was still a Noxus general in his bones. He just found a more suitable way to make Noxus stronger. If he stood on the side of the nobles, the biggest use of this book was to let him understand that Li Ke was an enemy that he had to kill with his life. Therefore, he didn't change his stance because of these things.
He had always been a person who longed to make his country stronger. As for the ultimate dreams of mankind in these books, he had always disdained them.
However, rational people like him were the minority. In this world, the proportion of beliefs was very large, especially for those who were hurt by their beliefs and were confused and unable to change. The words that Li Ke transferred were basically the same as holy words and oracles to them. It was the only truth in this world. The lady who sent Li Ke's manuscripts and documents to Delius was obviously an idealist.
No, perhaps this evaluation wasn't correct. After all, this lady didn't only have ideals in her heart. She was also working hard to achieve her ideals. However, as a general and orderly of Noxus, there weren't many things that she could do. And now, such a lady had left her own territory and arrived in front of Li Ke. She wanted to meet the legendary Emperor, the one who had turned the Empire upside down, but he had left the Empire at this crucial moment. He didn't recruit any troops and promised all sorts of conditions to the new Emperor.
She had a premonition that this operation would bring an unimaginable impact to her life and allow her to see the true path to make Noxus stronger. The path he saw would definitely make that stupid bastard repent and understand that her path was the right one. His persistence back then was completely stubborn and willful. The cruel slaughter had no meaning at all!
"Mother, you're too emotional."
Just as the idealist mother clenched her fists out of excitement, causing her remaining palms to turn abnormally pale, a girl behind her who could not be described as beautiful but could still be considered as dignified suddenly reminded her mother. She pulled her mother's overly engrossed spirit out of her own delusion so that she would not appear too disrespectful in this magnificent hall.
"Thank you, Faudia."
Curieta gently stroked her forehead with her only arm. She had spent a lot of energy rushing all the way here to attend Li Ke's welcoming banquet. Even though the thought of being able to talk to the person who wrote the wisdom and listen to his guidance was enough to excite her, she was still in high spirits. But in the end, her body was not as healthy as before. When she was a young girl, she gave birth to two children on both sides of the battlefield, and after giving birth, she joined the war one after another. She was also injured by an alchemy poison in Ionia and her right arm was amputated under Delius' order to save her life.
These experiences weren't good for her. Not only could she no longer maintain her youthful appearance like her old friend, Tamara, but her body also deteriorated. She had no choice but to leave the army so that she could spend more time with her two children. But what made her even more devastated was that when she found the right path, her son chose to sneak away after she accidentally mentioned their father. She didn't know where he was now. Her son's behavior made her feel like she was abandoned and betrayed by her most trusted child. Therefore, when she learned that Li Ke had become the Emperor and was preparing to head to Freldrod, she was seriously ill and had to lie in bed for a period of time.
The reason why she was able to hold on was because she had placed all her hopes on Li Ke. Her Spirit forced her body to move. However, her daughter was obviously more worried about Querieta's current condition. She frowned as she looked at her mother who was perspiring in the cold weather. She couldn't help but advise her again when she saw that her mother's forehead was covered in sweat.
"I still think that you should rest more. No matter how wonderful the words written by Li Ke are, you should take care of your body. After all, you taught us that only a healthy body can allow you to do what you want … At least, please put on a cloak. A gorgeous cloak isn't considered impolite, mother."
Her words made Querieta, who was still looking at the notebook filled with words of wisdom, raise his head and look at his daughter who had been living with him for a long time. He shook his head slightly.
"Futia, you're still young. You don't understand how important these words of wisdom are. These words have exposed most of the problems in this world and presented us with the solution to these problems. As long as we follow the instructions, we will be able to obtain a perfect Noxus! Do you know? This Noxus is the Noxus of my dreams! Everyone should unite and help each other. Everyone should work together for the sake of their country. There should be no meaningless wars or killings. The greatest goal of all when people gather together is to let everyone live a happy life. There should be no difference in status, and no one should be inferior. Such a Noxus is possible. As long as we work hard according to what is written here, then … "
Queretta's eyes were a little dazed. The more she spoke, the more she sank into her own imagination. Her voice became softer and softer until her daughter supported her. This made the ten-year-old girl hate the new Emperor even more. She didn't know how great the knowledge Li Ke brought to this world was and how big of an impact it had on this world. She only knew that because of Li Ke's existence, her brother ran away. Her mother was obsessed with pursuing things that didn't exist in reality and gradually became weak.
That was why she hated Li Ke and this banquet.
