While Sejuani was still on the front lines, Ash, the Empress of Alvarossa, was on her way back to the main city overnight.

The next day, just after dawn, Ash returned to the palace under the protection of a group of guards.

In the palace, a rough man with a beard has been waiting for a long time. Seeing Ash come back, he hesitated, but still walked straight forward and said, "Ash, I heard from the palace guards that you led your troops to fight against Sejuani's Winter Claw yesterday, and it's better to leave the battle to me, our barbarians are the best at fighting!"

Ash frowned and glanced at the man, and then she said to the guards who followed behind her, "You go to the royal granary and wait for me first, I'll come later!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The guards respectfully retreated.

There were only Ash and the rough-looking man left in the main hall, and Ash looked at the man, and a complex color flashed in his eyes.

"Tedamir, I know you're brave and good at fighting, but it's still too dangerous to charge into battle, so you might as well stay in this city." Ash's tone tactfully declined the invitation of the man named Tedamir.

Tedamir had heard similar words countless times, and he looked at Ash with burning eyes and asked seriously, "Ash, are you worried that my great deeds will threaten your throne?"

Hearing this, Ash shuddered. She said with a straight face: "What nonsense? Tydamir, you are my husband, why should I worry about you? Don't think too much about it, I just don't want you to have anything to do with you! ”

Ash's answer didn't make Tydamir smile, and he said in frustration, "But we've been husband and wife for so long, and we haven't even touched your hand......"

"I ...... I'm just not ready, Tedamir, I'm a little scared of this, please forgive me. ”

Glaring apologetically at Tedamir, Ash's eyes were overflowing with grievances.

Seeing Ash with such a look, Tydamir softened and said, "Okay, I won't force you, but I still want to go to the front line to fight for you, my Empress!"

"It's too dangerous to promise you this!" Ash refused to let go, and bit his mouth hard.

Tedamir still wants to fight: "But you are not afraid of danger......"

"I'm only in charge of commanding in the rear, and I didn't rush to the front line, let you go, can you command?" Ash took a deep breath, her attitude resolute.

"I will only rush to the front to fight without a brain, and I will not command ......" As soon as he talked about commanding, Tydamir was not confident.

"Alright, Tedamir, I'm not here to rest this time, I'm going to rush back to the command camp on the front line in a while, and I must take the Claws of Winter this time!"

As the words fell, Ash left through the side door of the main hall and headed for the royal granary. Hurried to the granary, the scene of a team of people taking grain from the granary in an orderly manner came into her eyes.

Approaching the guard's side, Ash asked, "How's it going?"

The guard replied respectfully: "Back to Her Majesty, two chariots of food have already been loaded!"

Ash stared at the guards who were still in charge of carrying for a while, and muttered: "After this one is loaded, two more trucks of grain and grass will be loaded, with these reserve materials, if the war continues, those barbarians in the claws of winter will definitely be defeated!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The guards replied in loud voices.

"You go on, I still have distinguished guests to receive, and no outsiders are allowed to enter here!"

With a final word of advice to the guard in charge of the matter, Ash turned to the hall dedicated to receiving guests.

After navigating several courtyards, Ash soon found himself in a hall dedicated to receiving guests. She pushed the door open and politely greeted the guests who had been waiting for a long time.

She walked towards the person at the head, changed her majesty from the past, and smiled sweetly like a little sister next door: "Sister Sivir, I haven't seen you for a long time, this time you seem to have brought a lot of strangers here."

As Ash said, it was Sivir and his party who had planned to come to see Ash before.

Hearing that Sivir was affectionately called her sister by Ash, Fiona's four daughters were stunned.

Only Xavier covered his mouth and chuckled: "Your Majesty, I can't afford this sister!"

"Sister Sivir, there are no of my subordinates here, just match our sisters!" In front of Sivir, Ash was completely devoid of the empress's shelf.

"Alright, Sister Ash." Sivir smiled noncommittally and spoke cordially with Ash.

Glancing at Sarah and the others again, Ash smiled at Sivir knowingly, "Sister Sivir, don't you want to introduce your friends?"

Hearing this, Sivir gave a brief introduction to the four daughters of Lower Sarah.

"These two are twins, and their names are Fiona, and they are the eldest lady of the Laurent family of Demacia; This is the nine-tailed demon fox Ahri, my best friend who grew up with me; This is Sarah, the pirate queen of Bilgewater. ”

Under Sivir's introduction, Ash looked at Sarah's four daughters curiously: "The nobles of Demacia, the nine-tailed demon fox, and the pirate queen, Sister Sivir, these friends of yours seem to be more noble than the other."

The two chatted for a while before Sivir explained the reason why she had come to Ash: "Ash, I have something very important to ask you about this time."

"Sister, even if you ask, as long as I know, I will tell you." Ash smiled slightly, indicating that he knew everything.

"Has a man named Ye Feng come to you recently?" Without further ado, Sejuani got straight to the point.

didn't know that the foreigner who left a very bad impression on her last time was Ye Feng, Ash thought about it carefully and shook his head: "It shouldn't be, why is he looking for me?"

When he heard no, Xavier frowned slightly. After glancing at the four women behind her, she had to temporarily put aside asking about Ye Feng's whereabouts, and said, "Ash, we are here this time on behalf of the Ionian Alliance, hoping to establish an alliance with your Avarosa clan and fight against the demons together."

Hearing this, Ash was puzzled, "Isn't Sister Sivir from the War College?" How do you represent Ionia? ”

Sivir patiently explained: "The alliance of Ionia is not only Ionia, but also the survivors of Demacia, Noxus, Piltover, Zaun, and Bilgewater, and now that the main continent has fallen, we hope that more human forces can join our army against the demons and drive the demons out of the main continent as soon as possible!"

Digesting the information provided by Sivir, Ash pondered for a while and said, "Sister Sivir, if it is the alliance you represent, I am willing to lead my people to join the cause of rebellion against demons, but Alvarosa is currently at war with the Claws of Winter, and I am afraid that I will not be able to give the alliance substantial help for the time being."

Hearing that Avarosa was fighting the Claws of Winter, Fiona's pupils shrank slightly. Ye Feng's mission on this trip is to unite both Avarosa and Winter's Claws. Now that the two tribes are at war, this task will be difficult to complete.

Noticing Fiona's gaffe, Sarah quietly pressed their shoulders and motioned for the two of them not to show themselves.

Sivir was also a little surprised that Alvarossa would fight the Claws of Winter, but she still said quietly, "As long as you are willing to join our alliance, Sister Ash!"

Ash, who had a good relationship with Sivir, wanted to say something, but he didn't want the voice of the guard to come from outside the hall: "Your Majesty, all the reserve food and grass have been loaded, it's time to go!"

Hearing this urging, Ash looked at Sivir apologetically: "I'm sorry, Sister Sivir, the battle ahead is urgent, I may have to go first."

Knowing that Alvarossa is at war with Winterclaw, Sivir also has the idea of leaving to discuss the matter with the others. She smiled and motioned for Ash to go about her business and leave them alone.

After a few more conversations, Ash, who was anxious to go to the front with food and grass, left the hall under the watchful eyes of Sivir.
