"Mage is not shameful, Ino." Lux let go of her hand and whispered, "And nobles are not proud of themselves - no one can be summarized by one or two labels."
"If I have to say it, I think what the nobles get does not match what they pay. They get too much and pay too little."
"..."
As a mage, he affirms the mage; as a noble, he criticizes the nobles.
For Ino, these words had a great impact - compared to Silas's enchanting words that were half spoken and half hidden, which itself aroused endless imagination, Lux's words were direct and frank, which made Ino
Somewhat at a loss.
On the other side, Silas, who was expecting Ino to be attacked and become one of his own, was completely stunned by Lux's reaction.
He never imagined that the dignified eldest lady of the Crown Guard family would be so...well, so shameless.
That's right, unlike what Ino thought was "Lux's openness", from the perspective of Silas, who didn't hear Lux's inner voice, Lux was just lying!
A noble lady, how could these words be her true thoughts?
She can't possibly think so!
Saying one thing and doing another is the best trick of the nobles. In Silas's view, Lux is trying to fool Ino - it is even possible that he is simply appeasing Ino and then settling the score later!
He obviously couldn't imagine that a noble lady would sincerely believe that the nobles were exploiting the common people - he was more willing to believe that as a vested interest, Lux should be a person accustomed to hypocrisy and lies.
"Actually, I was already thinking about this issue when you told me that you could make ice cubes." Lux patted Ino on the shoulder and continued, "In the summer, everyone likes to eat
Cold drinks, if you could open a cold drink shop, that would be great."
"I - this is impossible." Ino heard this and shook his head subconsciously, "I can't control my magic power. If I really open such a store, the result will only be harm to the surrounding customers."
"This is another problem." Lux seemed to have already planned, "For natural mages, the best way to deal with it should not be to imprison or banish, but to teach them to use this extraordinary power.
Strength, use this power to do more positive things..."
With that said, Lux blinked again and pointed to the hilt of her sword.
"...Is this really possible?" Lux's words seemed to open the door to a new world for Ino, "There are no mistakes in magic?"
"Magic is never wrong, it's the person who uses it who is wrong!" At this moment, Lux finally made up her mind and expressed her true feelings, "Magic can be controlled!"
"But, I've heard of the Rune War..." Ino obviously couldn't believe this statement, "The terrible magic almost destroyed the world!"
"Then have you heard of the Ascended?" Lux smiled, "Shurima used to have more amazing magic, but they used this power to protect Runeterra!"
"But how can magic be learned..."
"Magic can be completely mastered..."
"..."
"..."
As Lux told the facts and presented evidence again and again, Ino was finally completely convinced.
From beginning to end, Lux was justified and did not hesitate at all - this was not a lie she made up on the fly, but what she truly said from her heart.
The part about how magic can be controlled is based on Lux’s own personal experience!
Ino is willing to believe in her light!
……………………
As the two little girls talked, all misunderstandings and barriers seemed to disappear.
However, Silas, who had been listening next door, could not accept this result at all.
I spent ten years in jail!
It took ten years for him to have such a cellmate to look forward to. Silas still expected her to give up on Lux and become his comrade-in-arms. However, in just a few words, she actually sided with Lux - what is this?
What the hell unfolds?
At this moment, he really wanted to catch Ino and make her sober up.
What is fair, what is just, what is magic, what is shameful, what is noble...
This is all a lie by that guy to appease you. She just treats you as a harmless pet and a tool that can be used!
She is a noble lady who was born noble!
She will not give up her own advantages for the sake of fairness!
Unfortunately, Silas couldn't speak at this time. He could only watch as Ino and Lux became more and more congenial as they chatted, and watched as their thoughts became more unified...
Silas was filled with despair.
This is different from his plan!
After learning the truth of the matter, Ino should be completely disappointed in Lux!
When the time comes, he can convince Ino, convince her to help him, and get as much information about the forbidden magic stone as possible, so that he can escape from prison - Silas can naturally see magic, so from the beginning
He discovered that there was a large amount of magic power stored in the Forbidden Demon Stone. As long as he could use this magic power, no one in Demacia could stop him!
However... now the first step of the plan has been aborted.
Ino was indeed aware of the injustice between Demacia's nobles and commoners, and the natural discrimination that mages suffered.
But because of Lux's guidance, she was about to embark on another path!
Why is this happening?
Why would this little girl with endless potential believe in the words of a noble?
Why would this little girl in jail believe in the bewitchment of a young lady?
This makes absolutely no sense!
She is a noble and you are a commoner!
Silas doesn't know Ino's story.
So he didn't know that Lux had stepped forward when Ino was most desperate.
He didn't even know that before coming forward that time, Lux had been to Ino's house, stayed in her room, chatted with her father, and listened to her brother's stories.
He had no idea that Ino and Lux had countless similarities and had the same kind and tough souls.
Silas believes that nobles and commoners, mages and non-mages are natural status divisions and natural camps.
But what he doesn't know is that when it comes to each individual, what makes people identify with each other is never the identity label itself, but the same experience, the same thoughts, and the same desire.
Lux's noble status is real.
However, her ideal of eliminating Demacia's discrimination against mages and the oppression of civilians is also true.
Her magnanimity when facing Ino came from her inner determination, not from the pretense of clever words.
Lux, who returned from Mithral City, is no longer the ignorant little girl who only longs for the approval of her family.
She is the first person in Demacia to truly open her eyes and overlook Runeterra from a perspective above the sky!
Even though Ino still couldn't let go of the constraints of her identity on her at this time, and even though there were many things she still couldn't understand at this time, Lux had no worries and was willing to share.
While Lux was talking, Kalya, who had been always on tenterhooks, finally let out a long breath.
All these years of teaching have paid off. Although Lux is a little immature now, she has at least found her own path.
