Chapter 73 The Secret of Two People
"Luciana..." Yurien read it gently, and a trace of playfulness flashed in her eyes. He knew that the girl did not reveal her real name, but he did not expose it. Instead, he smiled and said, "A nice name, my name is Assas."
"Assas..." The girl was slightly stunned when she heard the name. She naturally knew Yulian's identity, but she didn't expect Yulian to tell her her real name, which made her feel a little guilty.
Yurien grabbed the change in expression and continued quietly, "Then, Miss Luciana, does your family know about you?"
Luciana, also known as Lux, hesitated for a moment and nodded gently.
"So, do they also support you in finding those abominable devil envoys?"
Thinking of her mother's angry and worried look at night, the girl's aggrieved eyes were sore and shed tears.
However, she took a few deep breaths in time, and stopped the tears that almost left her eyes again, and let out a "hmm".
"Do you know the methods of those people?" Yurien's eyes were deep.
Lux nodded.
"So you want to escape?" Yurien took a deep breath, "But why did you come here?"
Lux looked up and looked at the statue of Galio standing in the distance under the night sky. Julian followed her gaze and understood her thoughts instantly. He nodded and asked seriously: "Well... you don't want to leave your home, but you are forced by your relatives, so you want to come here to see if the legendary statue of Galio can suck your magic... away?"
The girl raised her head, her eyes were blurred with tears, and the fragility and helplessness on her face made Yurien tremble in her heart. In an instant, he made a bold decision impulsively.
"Do you want to hear my story?" Yurien smiled gently, and in an instant, a strange aura spread, and Lux, who was sitting beside him, immediately widened his eyes.
Seeing his gray eyes rolling strangely, like gray fog, the girl suddenly remembered the scene in the duel arena that day, and a hint of expectation rose in her heart. She nodded heavily to face his gentle face. Her hand also clenched the back of Yulian's hand without realizing it.
"You can feel it too?" Yurien's momentum was relieved, and a trace of inexplicable deep meaning flashed in her eyes. Lux nodded vigorously. At this moment, she felt that she was no longer alone.
"I am the same as you, and I also have the power of a taboo that is feared and rejected by everyone." Looking at the girl's eyes, Yurien told the story that he had already remembered: "My father suddenly discovered my difference, but what is different from your relatives is that he chose to hide it for me."
Lux's body trembled slightly, and was keenly sensed by Yurien. Yurien smiled slightly, grabbed the back of her hand with her back, and the two of them sat face to face on the grass slope.
Feeling the warmth coming from Yulian's palm, Lux blushed, biting the corner of his lips lightly, but not breaking away, allowing Yulian to grab her hand, with an unknown meaning flashing in his eyes.
"I am very grateful to him, but I was also forced to leave my family and become a soldier, who has been in the border army for more than a decade."
"I have also thought about why I have this unique power, and why did my father try every means to remind me not to be exposed?"
"I know when I grow up. The whole country is afraid of it, fearing this power." As he said this, Yurien raised his hand, his palms flew through the air casually, and a faint breath was flowing.
Lux looked at his palm and showed a look of empathy.
"I've seen them deal with scenes of those who possess magic. If you've seen them once, you'll definitely not want to see you again. I once thought about committing suicide..." Yurien sighed a little, "But under my father's comfort, I still insisted on it and used this power to serve the country."
"I thought I would continue like this, and hide for the rest of my life under the protection of my father, but..." Yurien's voice paused and fell in an instant, "In the Green Tooth Peak War, my father died in battle."
Lax felt the slight pain coming from the back of his hand, and he couldn't help but frown slightly without opening his mouth. She also felt his sadness, but she didn't know how to comfort him, so she wanted him to vent his anger.
Yurien came to her senses, looked at the girl's slightly frowning, withdrew her hand and put it aside, and smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I'm rude."
Lux shook his head vigorously and quietly became an audience member. But before he knew it, the two of them pressed their hands together again.
"My father died in battle for the country. The situation was in critical condition at that time. I was injured and did not participate in the war in the rear. I only heard that the enemy used many mages to bomb our soldiers. We almost couldn't defend the defense line, thanks to him."
The two looked at the statue of Galio together, and Julian continued: "Many people think it is just a statue, but everyone in the army knows that he is our patron saint. With him, we can defeat the Noxus, return to our hometown, and breathe the fresh air here again."
Yurien closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, turned her head, and looked at Lux with a smile: "Although my father is dead, I will continue to walk on and use the power of magic."
"I want to prove that we are not evil, that we can live openly in the sun, and we should not be treated differently."
"Light and shadow are born together, and shadows follow the light, right?"
"Light and shadow are born together, shadows... follow the light?" Lux murmured softly, looking at Julian's serious appearance, an indescribable touch instantly touched her heart, giving her the urge to cry.
But she immediately woke up, sniffed and held back tears. Lux nodded seriously and immediately showed a bright smile.
Yurien smiled softly, then grabbed the girl's hand and said, "So, thank you for listening, Miss Luciana!"
"This is the secret between us!"
Looking at Yulian's heroic face, Lux nodded, feeling guilty for the first time in his heart. This guilt made her impulsively want to tell the man his real name at a certain moment.
But this impulse was suppressed by her: tell him his name, will he be angry with me and blame me for lying to him? But Mr. Assas is so sincere to me and tell me everything, but I hide something from him. Isn’t it good?
But if he really told him... would he know who I am? Then... he...
After thinking about what would happen after telling him his real name, Lux was both scared and a little shy.
In the end, whether to say it or not?
Lux hesitated for a while, but still became silent. She felt guilty and she didn't dare to look at Yurien's bright eyes, for fear that he would discover his secret, but she was very attached to the feeling of saying everything in her heart. After hesitating for a moment, she raised her head, with a timid look on her eyes with a hint of begging and expectation, and asked softly: "Then, Mr. Assas, can I... be able to talk to you in the future?"
Looking at the girl's pure eyes, Yurien felt a little warm, and raised the hands they held in front of them, and said seriously: "Of course, Assas is willing to be Miss Luciana's listener forever!"
Hearing this answer, the girl's eyes lit up instantly, and her whole body suddenly became energetic. Her beautiful big eyes bent into a small crescent moon. Zheng nodded and said, "Yeah! I am willing to be a listener to Mr. Assas!"
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled. They lay down on the grass slope, looking at the statue of Galio standing in the distance.
Time passed, and the two of them held hands quietly, and silence here is better than sound.
Suddenly, Yurien seemed to have thought of something, suddenly sat up and looked at Lux and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see something."
Lux sat up in a daze, looking at Yurien's excited expression, his heart was filled with warmth. He held hands and the two ran down the hillside and ran to the feet of the statue of Galio.
Standing next to the wide pedestal, Yurien placed his hand on the statue's feet, and at the same time, a glimmer of light in his eyes condensed. Lux beside him only felt a magical energy gushing out from Yurien's arm and spreading into the statue's body.
After a while, Yurien withdrew his hand tiredly, held Lux and took a step back slightly. As soon as Lux retreated, he heard a thick voice coming from the top of his head: "A cute little girl, and... a similar type?"
