She promised well in front of Ogesha, but when she returned to her room and looked at the gorgeous girl's dress, Lux could no longer maintain her smile.
Thinking of her mother's instructions just now, the little princess of the Crown Guard family finally couldn't help but wrinkle her face - banquets, social interactions, etiquette!
Help!
There is no doubt that Lux is a kind and well-behaved child, so she is very happy to make her parents who are tired every day smile with joy through her politeness and well-behavedness.
However, this does not mean that she is a little girl who is willing to behave and abide by etiquette.
In fact, Kalya has now discovered that Lux's nature is actually quite lively and extremely energetic, and has nothing to do with Wenjing. Only such a person can awaken in Demacia, a place where magic is suppressed.
Amazing light magic talent.
And for such a child to strictly maintain the aristocratic behavior and wear a mask to communicate with others, for Lux, all this can only be described as torture.
Moreover, this kind of aristocratic behavior has to be carried out under the reminder of Kalya, so Lux has to be distracted...
Tsk tsk tsk, it’s pitiful just thinking about it.
So, even though he knew this was bad, a certain villain couldn't help but laugh. The laughter made Lux take off the mask of pain, and then clenched her fists.
"Ka! Er! Ya! Don't laugh!" Lux said through gritted teeth, "Help me think about what I should do tomorrow - ah ah ah ah ah, when I think about it, I will be under your nagging tomorrow.
, I feel like my face and legs are numb after maintaining the aristocratic posture all day long!"
"This is a noble's obligation, Lux, you know." Even though Lux was almost going crazy, there was still undisguised joking in Kalya's tone, "Our little princess must dress up like a real
She behaves like a real princess - you should be lucky that a nine-and-a-half-year-old girl doesn't need to wear high heels, otherwise the pain will be doubled!"
"Wait, Kalya, how do you know that wearing high heels is painful?" Lux finally found a point for counterattack, "Could it be that... you have worn them?!"
"This is what Setaka said." Kalya said in an innocent tone, "Even the ascended Martial Queen can't stand it, what do you think?"
Kalya's words made Lacus somewhat discouraged - Lacus had participated in banquets and activities of nobles before, but she had always sat at the children's table, and it didn't matter if they were fighting or making noises.
But this time her mother said that she would participate in social events as a noble lady for the first time.
(?_?)
"Karya, help me!"
Ridicule was ridicule. After having laughed enough, Kalya gave Lux a very effective method.
"If you really feel that maintaining the etiquette of the nobility is too troublesome, I suggest that you have a better chat with the little girl who was adopted by the Bouvier family tomorrow - I know a little bit about Ionia, if you can fight with her
If you have a good relationship, even if you don't adhere to etiquette all the time, it's still considered perfect."
"Is this okay?" Lux blinked, and after thinking for a moment, she finally turned from worry to joy, "That's right... Then tell me, what kind of country is Ionia? I
I asked Uncle Xin Zhao before, but he didn’t tell me anything!”
"Ionia, that is a country even older than Shurima. It is the birthplace of Runeterra and the source of magic... Look at your look full of expectation. If you are too when I am giving a lecture,
If you are so serious, maybe you can start learning to cast spells now - today's evening self-study is temporarily cancelled, I will tell you briefly about Ionia!"
"Haha, I know Teacher Kalya loves me the most!"
"But the evening self-study will continue tomorrow. After the banquet, I will evaluate the knowledge I taught you today. I hope you won't forget too much in the two days -"
"Ahhhhhh, Kalya is a big bastard! A stinking villain!"
"..."
"..."
The next morning, Lux got up early and seemed to be in good spirits.
After Kalya's "surprise review", it is no exaggeration to say that Lux is now one of the people who knows Ionia best in the entire capital of Demacia.
Although Kalya didn't speak much due to time constraints, and most of the information was very outdated, compared to other nobles who only knew Ionia by one name, Lux could be regarded as an "Ionia passer"
Already.
The initiation ceremony was held in the morning. After Lux briefly moved her body and ate something, she took a bath and changed clothes, then arrived at Bouvier Manor in a carriage decorated with the emblem of the Crownguard family.
After handing over the invitation, she entered this luxurious manor with an astonishing area under the guidance of the servant.
Along the way, ladies and ladies from various families took the initiative to greet Lacus, and Lacus, under the guidance of Kalya, responded to everyone with a perfect posture - this posture was not at all like her first time as a lady.
The newbies who participate in social interactions are more calm than the big guys.
Therefore, even if the ceremony has not officially started, many people have already begun to silently use Lux as a control sample to compare with their own children.
And the conclusion is...my own children can't compare.
Under normal circumstances, a nine-year-old child - even a precocious little girl - cannot be like Lux, who can perfectly use different etiquette, called, actions to deal with everyone, let alone recognize them with just one word.
All family emblems and coats of arms, this way of dealing with others can no longer be described as "precocious".
Therefore, after meeting Lux, many people unanimously exclaimed in a low voice: "She is indeed the princess of the Crownguard family!"
These half-deliberate, half-heartfelt compliments were heard by Lux, which made the little girl's face turn slightly red - she actually knew very well that this was all the fault of Kalya.
Lux, who made a perfect debut for the first time, became someone else's child.
Then, just when she wanted to thank Kalya, she heard the other party scolding her.
"Don't try to show a silly smile, it will ruin all your previous efforts! Now, turn sixty degrees to the left, the messenger of the Light Shield family is here. Although Jarvan III did not come by himself, he also took out the royal seal.
So you need to give the gift!"
The gratitude she had just felt disappeared in an instant with the merciless scolding. Lacus still maintained a perfect smile on her face, but she snorted angrily in her heart: "That's all you can do!"
The next moment, Lux, who maintained her perfect etiquette, took steps towards the light shield envoy.
……………………
The messenger of the Light Shield family who bears the mark of the royal family obviously calculated the time and appeared last.
After he had received the greetings from various noble families, it was time for the ceremony.
As the bell rang, the entire auditorium fell silent.
On the terrace on the second floor, the curtain of the arched door was opened, and the Bouviers walked out with smiles. Behind them was their daughter Kashina - and behind Kashina, a timid little girl
He held her hand and walked out.
She has long ice-blue hair, paired with a sky-blue dress, and she looks gentle and cute.
One hand of this little girl was held by Kashina, and the other hand was holding a huge piano. After walking out of the curtain and seeing the dense crowd of nobles outside, her face turned red.
——But even so, she still followed Demacia's etiquette and saluted everyone.
There was thunderous applause in the banquet hall.
Mr. Bouvier, who was walking at the front with a cheerful face, waited until the applause ended, cleared his throat, and loudly introduced the new member of his family.
From Mr. Bouvier's introduction, Lux knew that this cute little sister's name was Sona. She was a few months younger than herself. She came from an orphanage in the Galin Province of Ionia. She was a very gentle and lovely girl.
little girl.
However, it is a pity that she was born unable to speak - she can understand other people's words, but she cannot speak.
As for the guqin that she had been holding in her arms, it was discovered in the orphanage with her. According to Mr. Bouvier, it was the guqin that she depended on for life, so she kept holding it.
Regarding this statement, all the nobles present expressed that they could understand it.
Although it is said that in the initiation ceremony, the initiate should hold the family's ritual utensils, considering that the little girl is from Ionia, holding a guqin... it barely makes sense!
After Mr. Bouvier finished his introduction, a highly respected bishop from the Illuminati came to the terrace on the second floor.
The bishop personally baptized Sona, and then in the presence of all the nobles, he asked in a clear voice:
"The patriarch of the Bouvier family, Mr. Barrett Bouvier, are you willing to accept Miss Sona into the Bouvier family and give her the treatment of a family member and the honor of Bouvier?"
"I do!"
"Miss Sona from Ionia, are you willing to join the Bouvier family, become a member of the family, and maintain the glory of Bouvier?"
Sona nodded.
With the approval of both parties, the bishop picked up the already carved seal with Sona's name in one hand, and then raised the parchment recording the Bouvier family genealogy with the other hand and placed Sona's name on it.
Printed below Barrett Bouvier.
In this way, with everyone witnessing it, Sona had a last name for the first time - Bouvier.
From now on, she is Sona Bouvier!
Applause rang out again, and Sona, with a blushing face, went down the spiral staircase to the first floor and accepted greetings from everyone in the hall.
She looked very shy and wanted to lower her head several times, but in the end she smiled and responded to everyone who sent her blessings with a jerky but standard etiquette.
At this time, Lux finally realized an extremely embarrassing problem.
Sona can't speak, how can I have a good relationship with her?
If the task cannot be completed in this way, do you have to hold on until the end to complete this banquet that is destined to be extremely lengthy?
At this moment, Lux finally froze in place. When she thought about staying in such a rigid environment until evening, she felt her legs begin to feel phantom pain.
In desperation, Lux could only keep the smile on her face while shaking her head wildly.
"Karya, Karya! The plan won't work. Now use your invincible ancient wisdom to find a way!"
