Chapter 550: The Girls' Garden Meeting
To be honest, Cassandra never thought that one day she would encounter such outrageous things, and that she would have to face these problems herself.
Although she had long accepted her housekeeper-like identity, she was really tired of being constantly caught between Li Ke and those idiots in Piltover.
After all, no matter how hard she tries, there will always be people who think she's not doing enough.
If it were in the past, she would just laugh it off, but now she can't do that, because if she laughs it off now, it could mean dozens or even hundreds of lives are at stake.
There was nothing that could be done about it. After all, no matter how she changed, Li Ke's will could not be changed.
"Maybe I should change my job and stop thinking about so many things."
Cassandra sighed and signed the lines one by one.
It was obvious that someone had violated the rules when Li Ke sent this over. It didn't matter who violated the rules. All she had to do was give the order and let the law enforcers from Zaun make the arrest.
"Honestly, if you know everything, why don't you do it yourself?".
She looked at the place where Li Ke had delivered the documents and couldn't help but complain.
"And why should I worry about who wants to marry you? Whether it's Demacia or Noxus, they all want to form an alliance with you. You'd better come and solve this problem yourself, otherwise I will accept it all for you."
Cassandra's resentment was almost visible to the naked eye.
She didn't want to get involved in such a thing, otherwise it would easily develop into another situation.
That means she also sent her daughter away.
It’s not that Li Ke is not a good person. Cassandra herself sometimes cannot resist Li Ke’s charm. But as a mother, Cassandra doesn’t want her daughter to marry a playboy at all.
Although her daughter does not have many opportunities to pursue free love, she should also have the right to enjoy her own lover.
Otherwise, why is she working so hard?
She put the documents down, walked to the window and looked at her daughter.
"I really hope you don't fancy him, Catherine."
Cassandra's heart is very complicated.
If Catherine marries Li Ke, then based on Li Ke's personality, she is 80% sure that Li Ke will definitely continue to hand over most of Piltover's affairs to her, rather than to other people later.
This is absolutely a good thing for the development of the family. Even the vague confrontation between them and the Philos family will no longer exist.
Because at that time, the two families will be on two different tracks. They don't even need to maintain business affairs too much, they just need to exert their strength in politics, and the Philos family will return to the throne of the first place in business.
However……
The world of the little girls below is not so simple either.
"Do you know what's going to happen to you, cutie?"
Katarina looked at Lux arrogantly. She could tell at a glance that this Demacia girl had never experienced anything cruel and probably had never even touched a dagger.
She gathered her red hair, the scar on her eye was so obvious, and under her gaze, the blonde Lux subconsciously grabbed Catherine's hand on the side, a little afraid of Katarina.
This woman had broken in here in a high-profile manner before, and had even stuck a dagger on the table, which was very consistent with the illusion that Lux had of Noxians since she was a child. But when she came, she actually already knew what was going to happen to her.
Just fulfilling my duties.
Although as a girl she didn't want to get married before meeting her husband, as the daughter of the Crown Guard family, Lux had actually been prepared for this.
It's just that everyone loved her so much in the past, so she didn't realize this.
But when she faced her fate, she did not resist as Garen expected, but calmly accepted her fate.
"I, I know."
In response to Katarina's question, Lux nodded directly. She was already prepared to never go to Demacia again.
But when Katarina saw Lux's innocent eyes, she immediately lost interest in teasing her, because she could see clearly that this girl had never experienced betrayal, blood, or a series of things.
She probably didn't know how embarrassing her situation would be if they agreed to their conditions.
And most importantly, she probably doesn't even know what to do when getting married. These guys called Crown Guards protect this little girl too well.
but……
"You have no idea, cute little cake."
Catalina sat on the stool, turning the dagger in her hand boredly. She finally understood that anyone would like such a pure and cute little cake, especially when this little guy was wearing white stockings, sitting on the bed and looking at you innocently, you would naturally get excited.
On the contrary, girls like her who are sensible and know what to do are probably the most common in the eyes of those big shots.
Fame, fortune, money, there are so many things that can attract people.
This is the same for both men and women.
Money and benefits can make others change their positions without hesitation, not to mention selling their bodies. This is so normal that it cannot be more normal.
All I can say is...
This girl is so well protected, and because of this, such a gift will be even more precious.
Because of this identity and status, a girl who knows nothing but is very pure and kind is really very rare. It seems that since she was a child, she has been prepared to marry a big man, rather than as a real heir to the family.
Wait, her brother is Garen, and one of her playmates since childhood is that hot-tempered prince?
I see……
"But you don't have to worry about it. After all, you were born to do this."
Catalina put away the spinning dagger and looked at him with some pity. She had originally despised Lux for not knowing how to use a weapon at such an age. But now she thought that this was not something that should be despised, but a kind of sympathetic sadness.
Although she has experienced countless fights, she knows who she is and has the power to decide her own destiny, but this poor little girl has been a commodity since she was a child.
She had experienced life and death since she was a child, and was even almost killed by her own father because of a failed mission. She also faced the possibility of death more than once during her training.
But she holds the power to decide her own destiny, and even if she is dragged into marriage by a greater power, she can still decide her own fate.
And this Lux...
What does she know besides aristocratic etiquette and how to be a good girl?
"It's pathetic, isn't it?"
