The huge ballroom has now become a stage for Camille alone. The Gray Lady of Piltover has perfectly demonstrated the superiority of Hex's body modification - obviously she does not know classical dance.

But the Hex prosthesis completed all leg movements very well.

With his extraordinary sense of balance, Camille demonstrates what elegance means with his actions.

When the song ended, everyone applauded, but Irelia clenched her fists.

Are you worthy enough to dance while Yasuo plays the shakuhachi?!

Of course, although Irelia was unhappy at this time, she would not explode on the spot - she also knew that a large part of the reason for her sudden irritability was that her white-haired PTSD had occurred again. Yes, Kami

This Gray Lady of Piltover also has gray hair.

Fortunately, this was the last part of the day. After the dance, Yasuo and Camille simply exchanged a few words and then set off on their way to the hotel where they were staying.

The formal talks have just begun tomorrow.

"Why, it seems that you are not in a good mood?" After returning to the hotel, Yasuo asked knowingly, "Because of the Gray Lady?"

"..."

"Hahaha, with this expression, you must not know how old the Gray Lady is!"

"How old are you?"

"Ms. Camille's age is a secret, but I dare say she is at least fifty years old this year."

"Five...fifty?!" Irelia was shocked, "How is this possible?!"

"Nothing is impossible." Yasuo shrugged, "Hexian technology is also a very interesting knowledge. As long as you are willing to be cruel enough to transform yourself, everything is possible - I just have a story, do you want it?

Listen to it?"

After hesitating for a moment, Irelia nodded.

……………………

"Once upon a time, there was a little girl."

"This is a unique little girl. When the girls from other families are hanging out at the dance, talking about who is the best drama master and what piece of music will be performed tomorrow, this little girl is wearing casual clothes and performing in the dance.

Training is going on.”

"She not only learned dance, painting, music and sculpture, but also infiltration, assassination, torture and combat."

"In this city, she is an anomaly. She did not have a carefree childhood, nor was she a glamorous teenager. She only had training that was as precise as a clock, day after day, year after year."

"But... the little girl has never slacked off or been unwilling. She knows that as a member of the family, she has been destined to serve her family since she was born - her great-aunt decided once that year

She lost an arm while exploring the family's rise, and her spirit of sacrifice became the family motto: I am willing to dedicate myself to my family."

"That's right, the little girl works so hard for her brother."

"Each generation of the family needs a secret agent to assist the head of the family, and her brother has been weak since he was a child, so she does his part."

"Due to an accident, the little girl's parents died unexpectedly, and the family's status was in jeopardy. At this time, her younger brother succeeded as the head of the family and began drastic reforms. One of the most important points was the introduction of a chief technician to research breakthroughs.

Hex body modification.”

"Technological breakthroughs are rapid. The chief technician is extremely talented, and the little girl who has become a big girl is arranged to undergo body modification surgery. After the operation, except for her brain, everything about her will be repaired and replaced by Heike.

This body will be replaced, and even the heart will become the Hex Core!"

"When the time comes, she will be the most powerful spy, thereby ensuring the status and resources of the entire family."

"But... good people always attract each other, and things seem to be starting to become cliché. The chief technician fell in love with the older girl."

"They have similar artistic tastes, similar life creeds, and are equally talented."

"They would walk around the city before the sun rose, and then sit and drink tea while ordinary people started their day."

"They have met each other not long ago, but they know each other's thoughts very well, and they even seem to be able to hear each other's thoughts."

"Before the reconstructive surgery, he proposed to her, hoping that she could leave this shaky family and run towards freedom together."

"She was shaken."

"Then, just when she began to think about whether her life motto was correct, an attack occurred and her cherished brother was seriously injured. This bloody fact made her wake up instantly - although love is extremely sweet, her mission is...

Heavier."

"So, she painfully rejected her love."

"I am willing to dedicate myself to my family."

"Muttering this motto, she lay on the cold operating table, looked into her lover's eyes, felt the anesthetic injected into the blood vessels, and then finally lost consciousness."

"Thanks to the Hex Heart, she remains eternally youthful—but whether that's good or bad for her is anyone's guess."

"As the years go by, the family gradually becomes prosperous, and many details of past events gradually emerge in the long river of time."

"Her former lover left her city alone. He had amazing abilities, but he resigned himself to old age and died in a remote town, never marrying."

"And when the eldest girl became an old girl and saw her nephew again, she realized that the original attack that changed her decision was just a trick staged by her brother."

"She only cares about her family, but her brother cares more about herself."

"The old girl killed her brother and broke his neck with her own hands. Her brother is always her responsibility. When he works hard for the family, it is her responsibility to protect him; when he hinders the family's progress, then kill him

It's also her responsibility."

"Her stupid brother thought she was concerned about blood ties, but he completely failed to understand that all her decisions stemmed from that motto."

"'I am willing to dedicate myself to my family.'"

"In the beginning, she did it for her younger brother, but after that, her family became the entire family. As for the future..."

"Her family could be the entire city, or even the entire Rune Land."

At this point, Yasuo finally stopped.

Irelia looked at Yasuo with some surprise - she guessed who the little girl in the story was, but she still felt a sense of disbelief.

Of course, behind this surprise, Irelia also felt a rare sense of peace of mind.
