Chapter 362: Wish

Recently drawn,The most recent update doesn't come with the format first!!

Hearing Lydia's words, the surrounding noise became quiet, and it is no wonder that the reason why this midsummer festival is so noisy is because of Lydia's promise, and the reason why the reformers and the royal party are fighting to the death this time is the same. The reformers wanted to take this opportunity to cut the face of the royal party and at the same time increase their own strength. Of course, the royal party did not want to see such a thing happen, not to mention that they were also worried about the rumors circulating in the market, such as that some mercenaries would offer to spend the night with Lydia, or simply get married and have children.

With Lydia's character, she naturally won't go back on what she said, but this doesn't mean that her subordinates and subjects can accept her archangel and a lowly mercenary combined, not to mention that there is no emotion between the two, just a promise.

Now, all eyes are on Rhodes.

Although the reformers failed, this does not mean that the royal party will succeed, because in fact, until now, Rhodes has not shown obvious signs of joining the royal party. It's true that he eliminated two enemies for the royal party, but the political allies are either your enemies or my friends. At most, what Rhodes did was to pave the way for him to join the royal party, unless he made it clear, no one would be so careless and optimistic that the other party must be his companion before drinking rice wine and sprinkling chicken blood to worship his brother.

Because of this, many nobles looked at Rhodes and were actually a little nervous, they more or less knew about Rhodes' situation and the situation of the Starlight Mercenary Group, and Rhodes' calmness in the arena also made them very concerned——— they were also afraid that Rhodes would make some demands that make them restless, although judging from Rhodes' performance, he is unlikely to block the royal party, but interests are like a big cake, the more yours, the less mine. Originally, after so many years, the reformers and the royal party have long been saturated with the cake of interests, and everyone knows how many pieces you will share, and now that a new force has been added to come in and share the cake, they are naturally a little worried.

This concern is not only in the Wang Party, but also in the reformers. Because Rhodes's hostility to the reformers is too obvious, they are also afraid that Rhodes will ask Lydia to share his piece of cake at this time——— if this really happens, then the reformers really have nowhere to cry, after all, this is Lydia's promise, and the people of the entire principality have heard it with their own ears, and they can't use this to accuse Lydia of wanting to frame them or something. The only thing he can do is to accuse Rod, but it is obvious that this young man is really cheeky, and he still has no change in the face of the anger of so many people, even if he really accuses the other party at that time, maybe in Rod's opinion, this is not as loud as a fart.

So, what exactly will this young man wish for?

In the face of everyone's gaze, Rod did not show the slightest nervousness and pressure, nor did he hesitate, he first bowed slightly to Lydia, and then raised his head.

"Your Highness, I do have one thing I would like your help with."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Lydia's eyes widened slightly with some curiosity, but Rod didn't care, he just continued very calmly.

"That's right, Your Highness, I have a younger sister......... For some reason, she was born with a very weak body and was unable to move like a normal person. The spirit master can cure her disease, but he cannot change her constitution, so I hope that Her Highness Lydia can heal her body so that she can live a healthy and happy life like those ordinary children. ”…,

Speaking of this, Rod didn't say much, and everyone's gaze at Rhodes also changed a little, after all, neither the royal party nor the reformers would have thought that Rhodes would make such an innocuous request. It was so unexpected!

It was no wonder that these people were so surprised, after all, this was a rare opportunity, and Archduke Lydia himself promised to grant a wish, which even they had never seen before. Now that this young man had been given this opportunity, it was natural for them to think that Rhodes would choose to expand his power, or get some support and assurance from the royal family to continue to develop his mercenary group, but now, Rhodes's answer was beyond their expectations.

Even Lydia, for the first time, stared at Rhodes with wide eyes in surprise, and after a few moments, the archangel smiled unusually softly.

"It seems that you love your sister very much, Mr. Rhodes."

"I just don't want to make the same mistake again, Your Highness——— it would be foolish for a person to regret something twice."

"I see."

Hearing Rod's answer, Lydia nodded slightly.

"I will grant your wish, I can assure you, Mr. Rhodes, that I will grant your wish."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Rod bowed his head and saluted Lydia before he turned and stepped aside. Rhodes could feel the eyes of the nobles standing not far from him at this moment, there were doubts, surprises, puzzles, and appreciation. Obviously, most of the royal nobles did not understand Rod's idea, and some people expressed their appreciation for Rod's choice, they may think that Rhodes made such a request in order to avoid incurring the displeasure of the royal party and not to make Lydia embarrassed, after all, changing a person's physique is such a thing, although only Lydia is an archangel-level person to do, but for those who are wallowing in power and money, it is not attractive. And they, of course, could not have guessed what Rhodes thought.

From the very beginning, Rhodes never wanted to use this to expand his strength.

He knows very well that in the royal party, he is still a new household from outside, and according to the game terminology, the prestige of himself and the royal party is only "ordinary" at most. To the level of "friendliness", it is not even "respectful". If you want this and that as soon as you come up, you will inevitably give people a feeling of being ugly. It's like a newcomer joining the guild and only going down a few dungeons, relying on his good skills to get a head and vice president or something, which will naturally cause dissatisfaction and disgust among other members. In the middle of the Midsummer Festival, he and the reformers are already on the same page, and there is no room for reconciliation, and while fighting the enemy, he cannot forget to increase his friends. What's more, now the foundation of the Starlight Mercenary Group is too weak, and they can't eat a fat man in one bite, and making too many demands will only make them die, and those things that can't support them, Rhodes can handle it himself, and there is no need to use this wish.

And this is the only thing that Rhodes can't do on his own.

Seven Love once told him very clearly that only the existence of the archangel and above can change the human physique, and the dragon of light does not need to think about it, so Lydia has become the only person who can change Christie's fate, and because of this, this has become the most important thing for Rod.

Although Rod didn't think Lydia would refuse, he was relieved to hear her say yes at this moment. At this time, Rod also put his mind at ease and began to watch the next good show like everyone else. …,

The second person to come to Lydia was Lijie, who raised her head without the slightest hesitation in the face of Lydia's gaze, and bravely looked at her sister. Looking at Lijie's eyes, Lydia smiled very softly and reassuringly.

"You've grown up, Lijie——— you're no longer the fledgling that needs shelter, now you've spread your wings, it's time to fly freely over this blue sky, then......... What are your wishes? ”

"I have only one wish, my sister."

Li Jie looked at her sister, and there was no wavering in her clear eyes.

"I only hope that I can live a peaceful life as before, I only hope that I can continue my adventures and journeys, and the Principality does not need me now, sister......... I just want to live the life I want. ”

“…………… I see what you mean, Lizzie. ”

After listening to Lijie's words, Lydia nodded, she reached out, stroked Lijie's hair, and carefully helped her tidy up.

"I will grant your wishes, but remember that the Golden City is not just a palace, it is also the place where you were born, and your home......... If you feel tired and lost during the long journey, you can come back here again no matter what time you want, because this is your home. ”

“………… Thank you, sister. ”

Hearing this, Lijie was stunned for a moment, she looked at Lydia's face, and she didn't know what to say. But at this time, Lijie could feel a warm current flowing through her heart——— since her mother's death, she had thought that she no longer had any concerns here, so she was able to accept the decision to leave the Golden City and devote herself to adventure. But now, Lydia's words suddenly made Lijie feel extremely shocked, and she stared blankly at the girl in front of her, as if she had just felt for the first time that in this golden city, in this place, there was a person with the same blood as herself, who had been waiting for her to come back.

Is what you're doing really right?

At this time, Lijie suddenly felt uneasy, she was in the mercenary group, with so many friends and companions, but what about Lydia? Isn't it too selfish to do this?

"Sister, I'm ..............."

Lijie opened her mouth to speak, but at that moment, Lydia reached out a finger and pressed it to her lips.

"If you have time, remember to come back and see me."

“………………”

Looking at Lydia's smiling face, Lijie didn't say anything in the end, she just nodded, and then, the girl lowered her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes......)
