Even in midsummer, Demacia is cool enough in the early morning.

Fiona, who got up early and changed into a strong outfit, came to the backyard with her long sword as usual and started today's practice.

"Sa——"

"Sa——"

Between the wooden dummy, she held the long sword tightly and stabbed out one sword after another. Each thrust meant that a button fell on a dummy's clothes.

If someone is familiar with the structure of Demacia's standard armor, he will find that if these dummies wear armor, all the buttons have been sewn in the gaps of the armor without exception.

The gap between the shoulder armor stand collar and the mask, the armpit connected to the shoulder armor and the breastplate, the weakness of the breastplate gathering on the abdomen...

Fiona's stabbing was like a slaughter of a cow. Every move and every move hit the weak point of armor defense.

What's even more terrifying is that this thrust with amazing speed and terrible accuracy is just the simplest warm-up for Fiona after getting up in the morning.

Many people only saw Fiona's unparalleled duel, but only those who truly resolved the battle can understand how much sweat Fiona would have to do this.

You should know that even in the Runeland, a world where extraordinary power exists, there are huge differences in the physical strength of men and women. Physiologically, women's strength and endurance have natural disadvantages!

This has no effect on the caster, but in the field of duel, without using magic, women's disadvantages will be infinitely magnified...

If you understand this, it is naturally even more precious to Fiona to do this.

With her steps passing by among the dummies, Fiona finally pulled her sword and stood there, leaving only the buttons on the ground behind her - she took a little deeper breath and then drew her sword out of the sheath again.

You can't stop practicing moves!

It was not until midnight that Fiona completed today's morning exercise. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the sun, which had a slightly "spicy" trend, and then she returned to the sheath and returned to her room.

After taking a simple shower, Fiona finally started today's breakfast.

Compared with other Demacian noble families? The breakfast of the Laurent family is simple - this simplicity is because Fiona doesn't care about material enjoyment? On the other hand, it is because... the Laurent family is really poor.

This is not a joke or a joke, but a fact that is so real that it cannot be more real.

In Demacia? The nobles have their own fiefdoms? Although most nobles are concentrated in Xiongdu, their expenses generally come from the output of their fiefdoms.

Like the old guy Bona pretended to be stupid? His fief is in Irvingdale.

The fief of the Laurent family is not large.

Not only can't compare to Cook who owns the entire Irvingdale, but even many ordinary nobles cannot compare to it.

But even so? Fiona still sent all the Laurent children who were left in the fiefdom to Xiongdu? As a result, the expenses suddenly increased a lot, but the income also decreased.

After experiencing the duel, the decline of the entire Laurent family was a little unstoppable. Faced with this situation, Fiona's choice was to take a gamble? She personally trained these Laurent children? She looked forward to allowing them to achieve merits so that Laurent could be revived.

Unfortunately, this decision does not seem wise from the current situation.

When Fiona was drinking the meat porridge in her bowl bit by bit, her second brother Amda Laurent finally spoke.

"Fiona." Amda pushed his empty bowl forward for about a century? Signed that he had finished eating, "Brother just sent a letter from his hometown."

"So what's wrong?" Fiona raised her eyebrows? "The income this year will be reduced again?"

"No." Amda shook his head, "The letter said that the rain this year is good? Maybe in the autumn, we can get more income."

"That's great news." Fiona nodded? It seemed that the corners of her mouth were slightly raised up a little? "We need to prepare more swords next year? That's also a considerable expense."

"Fiona..." He called out his sister's name in a low voice, but Amda didn't seem to be at all. "If we continue like this, we will not be able to bear it sooner or later!"

"But not now." Fiona seemed to fully understand her brother's concerns and took the initiative to interrupt, "Shan Nuo and the others will soon join the army. I will go to see His Majesty and ask them to go to Green Tooth Peak or the Gate of Sadness..."

"Fiona!" Amda finally couldn't help but raise his tone, "You are gambling, using the future of our Laurent children as bargaining chips!"

"This is not a bet." Fiona raised her head, looked at her brother, and finally spoke word by word, "I gave them the best education and the best training, and now, I will give them a chance to decide their future."

"Even the Mianwei family will not force every child to go to the battlefield!"

Amda was excited for a moment, and the word Mianwei family blurted out - and almost when he spoke the word, he realized that something was wrong.

As the party involved in that duel, Fiona has never been willing to mention the word Mianwei family.

"We are not the Mian Guard family." To Amda's expectations, Fiona did not feel any anger or dissatisfaction. She just spoke her judgment and decision in a calm but firm tone as always, "We are Laurent, and Laurent does not have a great marshal who can help everyone gilt."

Amda grinned and said nothing else - the "Master Marshal" in Fiona's mouth was nothing but Tiana Mianwei. Garen's aunt was the Master Marshal of Demacia and the highest-ranking woman in the entire country.

Unfortunately, Fiona, who is also a woman, did not regard her as an idol. Instead, she spoke with disdain in her tone.

The atmosphere became more and more stiff, and Amda finally could only shake his head silently and barely change the subject.

"Fiona, have you heard that when His Highness came back, he met a group of people who were said to be from Shadow Island..."

In order to ease the atmosphere a little, Amda and her sister talked about what happened outside the city.

"What?" Fiona finally finished her meal and pushed the empty bowl forward for about a century. "You wouldn't say...we need to practice fighting on the water, right?"

"Of course not--"

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a little better, just as Amda was about to continue talking, the servant suddenly came to report.
Chapter completed!
