Her parents were members of the Kinkou Order, and her mother was the previous generation's Fist of Shadow. Born into the Kinkou Order, the only people who had ever seen her face, besides her parents, were Shen the Eye of Twilight and Kennen the Heart of the Berserker.

Therefore, the person who can break this taboo must be the person she is closest to and trusts the most. She is an only child and has no other relatives, so the person she trusts the most, besides Kennen and Shen, is her husband.

Therefore, any man capable of removing her mask must either become her husband or she must kill him. However, she won't marry just anyone who removes her mask.

As a normal young woman, she definitely hopes that her man is both handsome and capable. So it's a very real situation. It's not enough for you to just be capable; you also need to have both your personal qualities and your ability to win her over.

To put it more directly, you need to be talented, capable, knowledgeable, have good character, and possess virtues such as humility. She should be satisfied with your appearance and genuinely happy with it. Most importantly, you need to have high emotional and intellectual intelligence to understand what she wants and what she's thinking. In short, you need to be outstanding, even more outstanding than her.

It sounds simple, but it's actually not. And these are just the standards. Becoming a thorn in the side is no easy feat; only those who are exceptionally talented can achieve it.

Lux sighed and said, "You're so extreme... But ninjas shouldn't let others see their true faces, right?"

"Yes, assassins are even less allowed to do so."

"Oh, so you trust your husband the most... I see... But how did you eat at the banquet?"

Akali said softly, "I'm a mask, not a face shield."

"Oh! I see... So you usually eat alone?"

"Ah."

Lux sighed and said, "That's strange... but I can understand it. Sona's piano skills are really amazing. I can't play the piano, and practicing it feels so boring. Is practicing martial arts also boring for you guys?"

"Ah."

"It must be tiring. I've seen my brother train, and it looks exhausting. You're so young and already so amazing. Do you also have some very tough training?"

"Ah."

"Sigh...you really are a man of few words...Eh? Are there any mages in Ionia?"

"Yes, Lord Karma, Kennen can also be considered a mage."

Lux thought for a moment and said, "Lady Karma... I know, she's a Seer, is she an easy person to talk to?"

"Yes, Lord Karma is very kind."

"I would love to meet Lady Karma if I had the chance... A woman who can lead that land of her birth must be very powerful. I wish I could have a chat with her."

Just then, Akali came out, and Lux ​​said with a smile, "Let's go back. I feel like the banquet won't be over for long."

Watching Lux's retreating figure, Akali narrowed her eyes before whispering, "You seem quite eager for her party to end?"

"Of course! Wearing such tight formal attire, having to be mindful of etiquette while eating, not being able to eat many of the things I want, having to fake a smile, and not knowing when I might be called away by other families to discuss business—it's so annoying."

Akali said softly, "Nobles..."

Lux sighed and said, "I'm glad I'm a nobleman, but at the same time I don't want to be one. This identity restricts me a lot, like wearing a formal dress, I often feel a little suffocated."

Akali was silent for a moment before saying softly, "That's the difference between Demacia and Ionia."

Lux paused for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's really great! Oh, by the way, from what you said before, you're actually not opposed to marriage?"

"Ah."

Lux thought for a moment and said, "With your cold demeanor, always covering your face, and being an assassin, I doubt any man would dare to pursue you."

Akali was about to retort when she realized she couldn't. After thinking for a moment, she said softly, "A man who dares to approach me like this has enough guts to make me look at him with respect."

"Huh? I see... Huh? What do you look like when you smile?"

Akali's eyes twitched, while Lux looked at Akali with bright, expectant eyes. Akali simply walked straight ahead, and Lux ​​sighed but didn't care and chased after her. Her naive and carefree nature was on full display.

"Can't you just laugh once? Let me demonstrate for you?"

Akali glanced at Lux before continuing on her way. Lux puffed out her cheeks and kept walking, but Lux's curious expression made Akali's lips curl into a smile. This girl is interesting...

"Ah..."

"Huh? Huh?! You smiled!"

"You heard wrong."

"I didn't! You just laughed! Hey? Why were you laughing?"

"You heard wrong."

"Absolutely not!"

Chapter 341 Soraka's Ideal Partner, Akali Understands (Please Subscribe~)

Lux talked to Akali the whole way, mostly Lux doing all the talking, with Akali occasionally replying with a few words. Akali was getting a bit of a headache; was this brat's mouth enchanted? How could she have so much to say?

When the two returned, Akali stood behind Soraka as if she had seen a savior, and Lux ​​had no choice but to quiet down.

Soraka smiled and said, "Akali, it seems you and Miss Luxana are having a good chat?"

"Uh...it's okay."

Lux suddenly noticed something and asked in confusion, "Huh? Where's Miss Poppy?"

"She's gone, still searching for that hero, and regretting not being able to say goodbye to you."

Lux sighed and said, "Well, I was planning to talk to Miss Poppy. I was curious to know what kind of story Miss Poppy encountered when she was looking for the owner of this hammer."

Tiana said with some helplessness, "Lux, Miss Poppy also has her own things to do. You're putting her in a difficult position."

“Okay, I understand, Aunt. I have an idea.”

Upon hearing this, Tiana's eyes twitched, and she said, "Lux, you never say things like that. What are you planning to do now?"

Lux thought for a moment and said, "I'll talk to your aunt about it tomorrow. I really have some great suggestions this time!"

"Alright, alright, I'll look forward to it. I'll look forward to what amazing suggestions our Lux might have."

"Mmmmmmm!"

The banquet didn't last very long, partly because everyone wanted to conserve their energy so that Soraka could cure their hidden ailments and unleash their talents early the next day.

Secondly, Jarvan III and the others wanted Soraka and the others to rest after traveling such a long distance. Although they weren't tired, they still had to do what needed to be done.

Everyone gradually dispersed, and Soraka and Akali naturally left as well. The two of them didn't use a carriage, but said they wanted to explore Demacia, which Jarvan III and the others naturally didn't refuse.

As Soraka walked, she whispered, "What does the note say?"

"Miss Sona means that after everyone has left the banquet hall, go to the banquet hall to find her. She wants to talk to you and said that it might be what we want to know."

Soraka nodded and said, "I understand. Let's walk around for a while and go back later."

"Yes!"

Soraka suddenly chuckled and said softly, "Akali, you must have had a great time chatting with Lux."

"Well... thankfully, Lux talks a lot, and a lot of her things are quite whimsical. I have no idea what she's thinking, but I can be sure she's not a bad person."

Soraka nodded and said, "Yeah, that's a good thing. But speaking of which... Akali, you two seem to have a lot to talk about. What did you talk about?"

Akali blushed beneath her mask and said softly, "It's nothing, I was just explaining the differences between Ionia and Demacia. She's also someone who yearns for freedom."

"Her noble status inevitably limited her from having absolute freedom, but her thoughts and mindset were free."

"She also has a man she secretly loves."

Soraka paused for a moment before shaking her head with a smile and saying, "He must not be a nobleman, otherwise he wouldn't just have a crush on her. That's good. This is how a girl of this age should be. It's also a kind of optimism and yearning for life."

Akali paused for a moment and said, "Yes, I can tell she has a great love for life."

Soraka suddenly remembered something and said gently, "Akali, you should be about the same age as her, right? Do you have a man you like?"

Soraka's words made Akali blush. Why were all these people so concerned about whether she was in a relationship? But since she wasn't Lux, Akali still frankly shook her head and said, "No..."

Soraka said with some helplessness, "As a woman, marriage is a very normal thing, and it is one of the most important things in a woman's life."

Akali blurted out, almost as if possessed, "Where is Lady Soraka?"

After saying that, Soraka was also stunned for a moment, and Akali quickly said, "I'm sorry, Lady Soraka, I misspoke."

"puff..."

Akali was also taken aback for a moment, while Soraka smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? Talking about marriage is a topic that women can't escape. What's wrong with that? I may not be human, but I am a woman. It's normal. There's nothing wrong with that."

"Can..."

“Akali, although you were sent by Karma to assist me, I hope you can be less reserved and treat me as a friend. There’s nothing that friends can’t say to each other.”

Akali quickly said, "How could I..."

“There’s nothing wrong with it. To be honest, Akali, this is the first time I’ve ever heard someone ask me this question. It’s very interesting. It’s also the first time I’ve thought about this.”

Akali paused for a moment, then said in disbelief, "Lady Soraka! You actually get married, and you have a man you like?! What an amazing man he must be?!"

Soraka thought for a moment and said, "I don't think it's anything magical. I don't know what love is. If there really is a man I cherish, I don't think I would refuse him, but it's difficult."

"this..."

"My life is dedicated to healing all living beings and guiding people towards goodness. Everything I am is thanks to the stars, guided by their light. If one day I truly find a lover..."

"I think he will be a kind-hearted person who helps others and guides the starlight and the stars. As a messenger of the stars, I will follow him with everything I have and do my best to benefit more people."

"I hope that within our reach, no one will suffer or be oppressed. If that's the case, it must be the guidance of the stars, their guidance and grace. I will cherish my beloved, so..."

"Akali and Soraka are just women who heal humanity, and they are just women. So, Akali, if one day you also have your own love, I hope you can cherish it and use your power to protect and benefit more people."

Akali suddenly felt enlightened. Looking at Soraka's gentle smile, Akali said softly, "Yes! I will keep it in mind."

"Hmm, let's go take a look over there."

"Yes!"

Chapter 342 Soraka and Akali's Surprise, and the Girl Who Was Prepared (Please Subscribe~)

Soraka and Akali chatted casually, and passersby would offer them goods from their shops, which Soraka and Akali politely declined.

Soraka told the people to rest early, and the people of Xiongdu all obeyed, closing their shops early to rest, even though they had originally planned to close early and get cured as soon as possible the next day.

Soon the street quieted down. Soraka glanced at Akali, who nodded in agreement, and the two of them ran into a side alley.

Soraka may seem like a fragile being, but don't think she's only a healer. Soraka is actually very powerful, a powerful mage. If you don't believe me, you'll see when a star falls on your head, but by then it will be too late.

The two moved very quickly. Soraka disappeared from her spot like a shooting star, while Akali moved like a nimble cat. The two walked along the alleyways in the deserted streets and arrived directly in front of the banquet hall.

The two moved so fast that even the servants at the door, who were still checking the cleaning progress, didn't react in time. They only caught a whiff of fragrance and didn't notice anything else.

Akali said softly, "Lady Soraka, where should we look for them?"

"If the location wasn't specified, then it's the banquet hall."

"Ah."

The banquet hall was pitch black, with only one person holding a harp and looking nervous. That was Sona, who was cowering behind a pillar, looking somewhat frightened.

crunch...

The door opened, and Sona peeked out from behind the pillar. She couldn't see who it was, but she could vaguely make out that there seemed to be two people, and they both looked very slender.

Akali narrowed her eyes, holding her cross-shaped scythe with a cautious expression, while Soraka remained calm and continued walking forward.

"Sona, Miss Sona, are you there?"

A clear, crisp sound of a string being plucked rang out, and Akali relaxed his guard a little—it was his instinct. Soraka smiled and said, "Miss Sona, in this dark place, you don't need to hide yourself. We can see everything."

Sona hugged her harp, let out a sigh of relief, and then came out. To be honest, if she were caught, it would be hard to explain. Sona was very nervous, but for some reason, she was more excited than nervous.

Even Sona herself wondered if she was a hidden bad kid, because she really found this kind of meeting, which seemed like a meeting with bad guys, quite interesting.

Seeing Sona emerge from the darkness like a frightened rabbit, clutching her harp, Akali also put away her cross scythe. Through training, she could see her opponent even in the dark, amidst the smoke.

Akali could see that Sona was genuinely nervous; this was hardly the kind of situation one would expect from assassinating a powerful god and a highly experienced, top-tier professional assassin.

Soraka smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I already know. You have something to tell me, what is it? You can speak freely, don't worry about so many things."

Sona nodded, and Soraka said gently, "You can't speak, so let's find a brighter place. That way, you can feel more at ease and avoid making too much of a fuss with sign language."

Sona nodded repeatedly. When the three of them went to a lounge, Sona turned on the light. But the next moment, Soraka and Akali were stunned because they saw Sona walk to the table as if she had been prepared.

There was a piece of paper and a pen on the table. Soraka and Akali were both taken aback. It seemed like she was prepared. Before they could say anything, they saw Sona holding up the paper and handing it to them.

Soraka said softly, "Lady Soraka, I know you're here to investigate something, and I think I know what you're investigating."
