All of this happened a few years ago. When Noxus's war in Ionia officially entered an all-out phase, Delius and the others had no choice but to give up the most fruitful battlefield due to their high casualties and sufficient battle achievements. They handed the war over to Swein and his troops to conquer. Curieta, who had lost an arm, returned to her hometown as she wished and became a military officer. However, her actual authority was no different from that of an overlord. She helped Noxus manage their childhood hometown.
But as their bodies grew apart, the gap in their thoughts widened. Gradually, Delius was the only one who would constantly send her gifts, while Curieta treated it as though Delius didn't exist. She wasn't even willing to tell her children who their father was. This was because she didn't wish for her children to discover that their father was an executioner who knew nothing but war and slaughter. But she eventually realized in despair that in this country, her son and daughter eventually became fond of war because of the surrounding environment. Not only that, but they also yearned for war and slaughter. Just like when they were young, they viewed killing as an ability that was worthy of praise and pride.
She couldn't accept this, but she couldn't help but feel gratified because they really resembled their father. It was especially so for her daughter, who was almost a replica of Delius. On the other hand, her son was more like a fusion of De Levin and Delius.
"But Mother, you should've said before that Noxus can't leave the war. Once we leave the war, our country will fall apart," Fyodor said calmly.
When she saw Li Ke gradually approaching them, she tugged at her mother's clothes, hinting for her to lower her voice. But her mother turned a deaf ear to her because she couldn't tolerate such a country and environment anymore. If Li Ke didn't appear and those books and notes that mysteriously appeared in her study room didn't appear, she could still tolerate it. If the person standing on the throne was still Darkwill, she would silently endure it and wait for the opportunity to revolt. She would use her own methods to change this country. But now, after seeing hope, she couldn't tolerate it any longer. She stood up under the astonished gazes of the others and walked toward Li Ke.
"That's because the person leading this country isn't strong enough."
Darkwill was a decent leader. He was proficient in politics, war, and the principles of using people, as well as knowing what to do at the right time. But he lacked the foresight that she saw from Li Ke. That was a difference that transcended infinity. While Darkwill was still fussing over a city, land, and the trivial matters between nobles, there were already people who saw the future of all humans and came up with a set of effective theories. They criticized the problems and shortcomings of Noxus, Ionia, and Piltwof society in detail...
This was one of a kind in this world.
Even though the author claimed to be Mr. Ma and Mr. Mao, the unique way of thinking and analyzing came from the same lineage. And for someone to create such a way of seeing the world clearly, he definitely wasn't a nobody. Therefore, this was definitely a method that Li Ke came up with himself. He was also the one who saw the shortcomings and contradictions of the three societies.
"My King, please bestow your highest wisdom to me. I'm willing to follow in your footsteps and spread your will of Noxus to this world. I'll let everyone understand what's most important. I'll let everyone live the life they want in the future you've written."
She suddenly stood in front of Li Ke and knelt on one knee in front of Li Ke. This abrupt action naturally infuriated the nobles who were intimidated by Li Ke. They didn't like such a baffling person who appeared out of nowhere. The reason why they allowed Quilietta to enter the banquet was because they were interested in her and her daughter. After all, it wasn't a big deal for a mother and daughter to compete in bed in Noxus. Some nobles who joined Noxus midway had the custom of a mother guiding her daughter and son-in-law on their wedding night.
Li Ke knitted his brows slightly. He didn't know this one-armed woman, nor had he heard of her before. From the looks of it, she was definitely an old nobleman who wanted to pester him. But the maidservant beside him immediately reacted when she saw Quilietta. She immediately whispered in Li Ke's ear and told Li Ke the woman's identity.
"She's Delius's lover. But they had differences in ideology since a long time ago. A few years ago, they completely broke off because of the war in Ionia. She raised Delius's son and daughter alone. She's a staunch opponent of the war. Before you came to Noxus, she had secretly developed her own forces and wanted to separate her homeland from Noxus. "
The female spider revealed all the information about Quilietta because she was also a pawn chosen by Lefran. But her purpose was to influence Delius. In this world, Delius could kill anyone except for his brother, De Levin, and his lover, Quilietta. In his eyes, Curieta had already given birth to another man's child when they were dating. After all, a man would never forget his first love. Moreover, Curieta did not betray him. Instead, she raised his child.
This information could do a lot of things, whether it was to make Delius's son assassinate him at a critical moment or to make his son commit a huge mistake to damage Delius's prestige. It could make Lefran do a lot of things. And although Delius had always been a sharp knife in Lefran's hand, this knife wasn't very useful because of her firm beliefs. Therefore, Lefran had already prepared countless touching scenes for this Hand of Noxus to reunite with his father.
But now that she had sided with Li Ke, these scenes would be brighter. Quilietta, who was originally going to be sacrificed, would naturally have other uses. The maidservant didn't lower her voice to the extent that Curieta couldn't hear her. Therefore, Curieta's heart was filled with fear. She didn't expect that the maidservant would be able to see through her every move. Furthermore, her secret actions were also known by them. Was there a traitor on her side, or was her plan too obvious?
Her heart was in a mess, but Li Ke's words made her sigh in relief.
"Is that so? Then it seems like we're old friends. "
Li Ke was nostalgic, and Quilietta was curious. After all, even if she was disappointed, love still existed. Li Ke's next sentence also made her feel gratified about Drais's existence, which she hadn't felt in a long time.
