I, Folyago, am the most devoted lover in Runeterra.

That was—Katarina herself accidentally fell, and as a result, she paid the price with her first kiss.

........

The girl was still in shock, her mind reeling.

She didn't even notice Foygo's movement of tightening his arms until Foygo's hands around the girl's waist began to move.

The girl suddenly woke up with a start.

A flicker of shame and anger flashed in Katrina's wine-red eyes.

This bastard!

They actually dared to.........

The girl suddenly broke free from Foygo's embrace, stood up, and delivered a vicious elbow strike to Foygo's chest as he lay on the ground.

He then ran headlong towards the door of the banquet hall without looking back.

At this moment, Katrina's face was as red as a ripe tomato.

She was so embarrassed and annoyed that a hint of tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

For Katrina, tonight's experience was an absolute disgrace!

Leon Guerrez!

You despicable spoiled brat, just you wait!

As Katrina ran outside, her face flushed, she muttered viciously to herself.

.....(chde)........

In the banquet hall, Foygo clutched his chest, which had been struck by an elbow, and slowly rose, feigning pain.

Under the pretext of healing and recovery, and with the help of the old butler, he apologized to everyone and left the table.

Amidst the strange, somewhat admiring gazes of everyone present.

Leon Guerrez's debut ended in such a dramatic way.

Foljego could foresee what kind of discussions would circulate after he left.

However, aside from a few jokes, everyone sees him as a "victim".

Therefore, it will not affect his reputation.

After escorting Fouguere back to his room, the old butler got up to take his leave.

Only Fouguere was left in the house.

After the old butler left, the pained expression on Foygo's face vanished instantly, replaced by a calm and thoughtful look.

Ever since the day he made the deal with Vladimir, he had taken the token given to him by his uncle and arrived at the Gurez family's house.

With just that emblem with the black rose pattern, Foygo became the heir to this ancient noble family called "Gurez".

The Gurez family even fabricated a blank history for him for the first twenty years and prepared everything for him to integrate into Noxus.

All of this made Fryego realize just how terrifying the Black Rose's influence was within the Noxian Empire!

With just a single sentence from Vladimir, a stranger could be directly integrated into the empire's high-ranking noble circles.

It is foreseeable that, as long as Vladimir is willing to put in the effort, it won't be long before things improve.

Leon Gures will rise to the top ranks of the empire.

This is how Vladimir flexes his muscles and demonstrates his "sincere willingness to cooperate."

However, all of this has one major premise.

The first thing Vujego can prove is that he is indeed with Vladimir, and that it was not a trap to lure Vladimir into.

Vladimir could not possibly trust Foyego completely because of a superficial deal.

Therefore, Fryego needs a "pledge of allegiance".

This "pledge of allegiance" was also meticulously designed by Vladimir.

............

Everything stems from the existence of the Black Rose Magic Society.

The existence of the Black Rose is somewhat similar to that of Hydra in the Marvel universe.

This secret society of magic secretly controls the entire Noxus.

Almost every ruler of Noxus was influenced by the Black Rose to some extent when they came to power, and some were even puppets directly controlled by the Black Rose.

Every powerful general and nobleman in the empire may have some connection to the Black Rose behind the scenes.

The Black Rose's infiltration has already affected the entire empire.

Vladimir was a core member of the Black Rose, or one of its founders.

For thousands of years, he and the Pale Lady each held a portion of the empire's power.

They utilize and cooperate with each other, while also checking and balancing each other.

The so-called Gurez family is nothing more than one of the many pawns in the hands of the Black Rose.

However, this "right" of the Black Rose...

It's something that can't be brought to light.

The Black Rose can only exist in the shadow of the empire.

But now, an uncorrupted ruling class in Noxus has become aware of the Black Rose's existence.

Among these people were many key figures of the empire and those who wielded great power.

It was the existence of these people that made Black Rose feel threatened.

In this wave of "anti-corruption," two leading figures stand at the forefront.

Swein Jellicoe and Du Kecao.

These two men each wielded considerable power and had a group of loyal followers.

Furthermore, they each formed their own factions in the imperial political arena and wielded extremely powerful influence.

Especially Du Kekao!

They wield the Noxian Empire's sharpest weapon—the assassination squad!

The purpose of this unit is to train assassins who lurk in the shadows, contributing the greatest strength to the Empire with minimal casualties.

Throughout history, countless enemies who posed a challenge to Noxus have perished in this assassination squad under Du Kecao.

Furthermore, the assassination squad under Du Kecao possesses a wealth of classified intelligence.

Some of these are absolute secrets that even the Black Rose is unaware of.

For Black Rose, Du Kekao, who also prefers to remain hidden in the shadows, is the biggest threat right now!

Now, Du Kekao has vaguely sensed the existence of the Black Rose and has begun to investigate this secret society rooted in the lifeblood of Noxus.

This also made Black Rose unable to tolerate Du Coca's continued investigation.

Therefore, the Black Rose must get rid of Du Coca, this thorn in their side.

Chapter 105, A Cold Glimmer in the Darkness

This brings us to Vladimir's exceptional wisdom.

His decision to have Foygo inherit the Gurez family was indeed a brilliant move.

Because right now, the Gurez family is at the forefront of the Black Rose's exposed parts.

The Gurez family has a history of nearly five hundred years in Noxus.

The reason this family was able to rise to prominence in Noxus was because it received support from the Black Rose.

Therefore, almost every head of the Gurez family is a member of the Black Rose.

This means that the entire family, from the inside out, is "all black".

In the past, Gurez had done countless dirty tricks for Black Rose.

for example.

Take, for example, the noble youth Barry whom Foygo encountered on his first day in Noxus.

He was a member of the "Crimson Society," directly under Vladimir's command.

In addition to practicing blood magic and regularly obtaining fresh blood, Barry is also responsible for collecting high-quality "tribute" for the Crimson Society.

These "tributes" were the blood of those unlucky people who were tricked by Bai Rui.

What Gurez has done in the past is similar to what Barry Wallace did.

Because of all the dirty work he had done, Gurez's exposure was not unexpected for Black Rose.

Now, the entire Gurez family has been completely targeted by Du Kekao.

Du Kecao didn't make a move simply because he was thinking of using Gurez, a small fish, to lure out a bigger one.
