"The real world is really full of surprises."

Li Ke waved another sword and cut the head of the smiling scarecrow in half. However, as the flames burned, the scarecrow did not show any special place, as if it was so fragile. With the crows, it was easily burned to ashes. Even the sharp sickle that could easily penetrate Demacia steel was strangely burned to ashes in the flames.

However, Li Ke didn't have the heart to care about this, because after seeing the scarecrow turned into ashes, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although they could still see a strong fear in their eyes, they also understood that today's incident was over, because when the scarecrow was burned to ashes, the originally dark and strange jungle suddenly appeared, and the strange scarecrows no longer had the illusion that they were laughing, but turned into that dull feeling in the light.

When Kalina saw the person who saved her, she laughed mockingly, then shaking her body and fell down, and then was held in her arms by Li Ke who had put away Yatoks.

"I didn't expect you to get involved in my affairs, ha... I'm really useless."

When she was picked up by Li Ke, Li Ke did not feel any strength on her body at all, and when he looked at the other person's cheek, he could still see the fear and fear in the other person's eyes. The woman finally stepped off her hard shell, revealing her weakness. But it was obvious that she was torn off the shell in front of the monster that made people unconsciously see something that made her fear, and she was torn off the shell in a tough way, allowing her to face her true self in blood.

So the first thing she did was not something else, but self-deprecation and self-blame.

"After all, they are friends."

Li Ke took it for granted, because he treated Kalina as a friend, and naturally he needed help to his friends. Of course, this is also because Kalina really helped him a lot, and he was willing to help himself when he was wanted, rather than directly reporting him. If it was a general help, there was no way for Li Ke to regard the other party as a friend.

He knew very well what kind of criticism he would suffer from when breaking the rules for an outsider in such a strict place.

"Yes, my friend, I really didn't expect that I would have another friend."

Kalina just smiled, then closed her eyes, as if she didn't care about anything, in fact, she no longer understood what joy she wanted. She found in fear that she had long disliked her fiancé, but she also found that she pretended to like him very much and maintained her appearance. Although she was in pain when the other party died, what made her feel afraid was that she would feel relaxed because of the other party's death.

Am I a villain? Or is it the things I have been fighting against since I was born?

Kalina closed her eyes and recalled her fear. She found that what she feared was that she didn't know who she was, what she really wanted, what she really struggled for, and suffered so far. The virtues of Demacia, the honor and responsibility of the Mianwei family, which she firmly believed in, have actually become things that torture her, but she doesn't want to be irresponsible like her fiancé, and become a bastard who everyone despises.

Should I... be alive?

Kalina, who could not find the meaning of her existence and felt great fear, couldn't help but hold Li Ke's clothes because she really couldn't find any reason to make her survive. She wanted to find something valuable for herself, but her overly smart mind and long-term experience told her.

‘No sense’.

Whether her love or hatred, it cannot affect anything, because it is something that people want her to do. And as she grows up, the only real feeling she feels is that she wants to be with her fiancé, but this relationship is immediately exhausted by her fiancé's behavior, and then she has to work hard to save her family's glory and maintain this ties.

Perhaps there is a slight possibility that she will eventually be able to regain this ties, and that irresponsible fiancé may also understand what others have paid for her, or she can find other ties. But now she has lost the reason to continue living, which is something she has been afraid of.

"Don't do this, people always have to look forward. When people in Noxus crushed my legs, I also thought that maybe death was a good thing. After all, I couldn't see any hope at all, and living was so painful."

Li Ke smiled softly, and then, under the strange gaze of the other soldiers, he hugged Kalina and walked towards the town.

"But chasing miracles is human instinct. Sometimes if you don't fight, you don't know which step you can do... Of course, physics and math problems, forget it, no, no, no."

Seeing that Kalina's eyes were still so empty, he sighed inwardly that he was indeed not suitable for something like mouth-to-mouth.

"I always feel that using frivolous words to interfere with other people's lives is a very rude thing, so I won't comment on the feelings you have paid and the decisions you have made. After all, no matter how ridiculous it is, it is your act of pouring into your emotions. But as a friend, I hope that when I see you next time, you will still be that cool and capable woman, who can smile and say rude words in the bright sunshine. After all, to be honest, you are very beautiful like that. When I first saw you, even if I had a wife, I was a little moved."

His words made Kalina look at the man who looked very old because she was not shaved, but she still didn't say anything. She just sighed helplessly, and then buried her face in Li Ke's chest.

idiot.

She made an evaluation of Li Ke in her heart.

Even in Demacia, they will have a very hard time. After all, although it is said that the people of Demacia are united and friendly, if this is true, then why are there still professions like thieves? It’s just that compared with other nations in this world, the Demacia people are more abiding by the rules, and she knows this very well.

but……

Kalina's hand holding Li Ke's cloak became tighter, and she couldn't help but let out a vague whisper.

"I don't hate fools."
