"Bang!!"

Lillian slapped it on the wooden table in front of her, because of the excessive force, the girl's palm even felt the slightest numbness and pain, but at this moment Lillian was not in the mood to care about such a trivial matter, instead, she frowned and stared closely at the representatives in front of her.

"What do you mean by that!?"

"We are undoubtedly offended, Your Majesty."

A middle-aged man stood up, he first glanced at the silent old council leader who was sitting next to him with his eyes closed, and then he smiled and spoke.

"We are just petitioning on behalf of the people, which is the concern and anxiety of the general public. Of course, we don't want to believe such a thing, but your Majesty may not know that there are similar rumors and rumors all over the streets and alleys of the entire Land of Light, and of course, in this regard, the people's fears are not unreasonable. You see, Your Majesty, the attack of the Night Nation came so suddenly, and even our army exercises on the border of the Night Nation were also a complete failure. But isn't it strange that the Duchy of Moon has suffered very few losses, and the undead army has not even been able to completely break through their first layer of defense? Your Majesty? Why is the Duchy of Moon, which should have nothing to do with the Night Country, able to block the attack instead? According to the information we have obtained, the Duchy of Moon had moved its defenses before the Night Nation attacked, but they did not inform us, so ..............."

"So you think that the Duchy of Moon is secretly colluding with the Land of Night?!"

"No, Your Majesty, this is not our opinion, but the opinion of the people."

“……………………”

Lillian gritted her teeth and glared at the man in front of her, but the other man just smiled. He bowed his head with a humble look, as if he was very convinced, but even Lillian sensed the indifference and malice in the other party's heart. This made Lillian feel a wave of anger in her heart, but she still forced down the anger in her heart and spoke.

"Lydia is one of the three archangels, and she will never be entangled with the undead. I think it's just some people's nonsense. Now we should focus more on the war on the front line, in the previous offensive, a lot of land has already fallen and been occupied by the Night Country, right? I think that's more important than some people's delusions. ”

"Of course, Your Majesty, this is naturally the focus of our discussion."

Another councillor stood up, and he only owed Lillian a little, but quickly spoke again.

"But at present, the people are most concerned about the relationship between the Duchy of Moon and the Land of Night. Of course, we trust your judgment as the dragon soul of light, but the people need a safe environment, and to tell you the truth, these rumors are not only affecting the people, but have even begun to affect the morale of the soldiers on the front line, which makes them unable to even fight with peace of mind in the face of the undead army, which is why they have suffered one crushing defeat after another. Therefore, in order to appease the hearts and minds of the people, we must do something. ”

Lillian clenched her little fists tightly. Biting his lower lip, he looked at these people in front of him dissatisfied. The other party has repeatedly carried the people out to make it a little difficult for this little majesty to parry, although after the Dragon Soul Holy Canon, Lilian has gradually begun to try to meddle in government affairs, but it has been with little success, the reason is that every time the council will take out the people to suppress her, Lilian is young after all. Although knowledge is abundant, political confrontation is not just something that can be done with wisdom and knowledge. Even though she had the desire to change the status quo of the country herself, in her bones, Lillian still wanted to make the people here live well. So whenever the Council of Light said that the people would suffer because of it, Lillian couldn't help but hesitate. At this moment, I heard the Council of Light say it again. Lily was even more dissatisfied, and even an idea gradually came to the girl's mind.

The foolish people............

"Huh?"

The girl's body shook suddenly, thinking of this, she suddenly felt a panic, the thought that just emerged from her heart was not very clear, but Lilian instinctively felt surprise and fear, the girl was even a little distracted at this moment, but she quickly reacted, shook the palm hard, the tingling sensation from the center of the palm offset the vague thought that appeared in the depths of Lily's peace of mind just now, at this time Lilian realized that she didn't know when a cold sweat appeared on her body.

And at this time, the representative spoke again into Lillian's ears.

"Your Majesty, please decide."

“……………… What do you want? ”

Lillian lowered her hands and put them on her knees, straightened up, and tried to make herself look at everyone in front of her seriously, but at the moment she felt a cold sweat in her palms. However, Lillian didn't pay much attention to this, and quickly brought her mind back to the present.

"It's very simple, Your Majesty, we hope to have Her Royal Highness Lydia come to Casablanca and cooperate with us in our investigation, once we can prove her innocence in front of the people, then there will be no more unnecessary rumors and worries in our Land of Light."

"It's not right for you to do this, Lydia is the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Moon, the lord of a country, and one of the three archangels, you, you can't do this because of the rumors in the market. And now that the war on the front line is critical, Moon is our barrier, and the most important thing at the moment is safety first. If Lydia leaves Moon, what if something goes wrong? ”

"Your Majesty, of course we understand your concerns."

Another councillor stood up, and this time he didn't even salute Liliane, but nodded his head in respect——— which was basically tantamount to perfunctory.

"But if this continues, I don't know what will become of the rumors of the people, and now these rumors have affected the army, we think that the people have the right to know the truth of the Tao, as long as we can make them understand this, then the people will let go of the burden in their hearts, and we will definitely be able to defeat the undead army! As for the front-line issue.................."

At this, the councillor smiled slightly, and seeing his expression, Lillian frowned inwardly. She didn't like the expression.

"Isn't the undead now stopping their attack? The Duchy of Moon has resisted the attack of the undead legions, and it is unlikely that they will attack again for a while, and I think that now is the best time to have Her Highness Lydia come to Casablanca City to be investigated, Your Majesty. If we can restore the innocence of Her Royal Highness Lydia and the Duchy of Moon during this time, then we can both put aside our old suspicions and fight side by side. It's also easy to deal with the undead. ”

“………………………”

Lilian frowned, she was not stupid, as the inheritor of the dragon soul, although Lilian's strength had not fully awakened, she also knew what was going on in the rout of the Land of Light. There was no resistance from those armies at all, and even many of them collapsed in fear when they saw the undead army, only to have the two sides engage in a little short-range combat and then immediately collapse. This made Lillian very upset, as she felt that the soldiers had not fulfilled their obligations, and it was the Council of Light who was the first to attack. He also shifted the blame for the military defeat to Moon...............

Thinking of this, Lillian couldn't help but look around, hoping that someone would help her speak. But she couldn't see anyone who could help her, the other two archangels had already gone to the front line to stabilize the battle situation, originally logically speaking, they didn't need to take action in person, but no one expected that the rout of the country of light would be so fast, which made the two archangels have to choose to lead the war angel legion into the battlefield in advance to stabilize the occupation. It is impossible to let the undead army fight all the way to Casablanca like this.

However, Lilian also vaguely knew in her heart that even if these two archangels were there. I'm afraid it won't help me to speak. Because he doesn't have much communication with them on weekdays, the Seraphic Angel basically doesn't appear in front of him unless it's a formal occasion, and Lilian has always been a little afraid of the archangel who is always unsmiling. Although Slynn taught her a lot of knowledge, Lillian knew that it was just a relationship between master and apprentice, and other than that. Slynn didn't really care about her either. This has always made Lillian very lonely, and she can't even find half of the people she can talk to in this palace, and even if she wants to be friends with those war angels, the other party will have some scruples because of her identity.

Until Lydia appeared.

Lillian remembers. The scene when Lydia is first appointed as an archangel and they meet for the first time. At that time, she was full of curiosity and some anticipation to look at the girl in front of her——— she looked only a few years older than herself, but from her, Lilian could not feel the seriousness of the Seraphic Archangel and the indifference of the Wise Archangel, on the contrary, this archangel seemed to be full of life and vitality, and he was not afraid of himself.

And when Lillian saw Lydia look up and wink at her playfully when others weren't looking, she realized that she finally had a friend. And after that, just as Lillian thought, Lydia was not as cold and distancing herself as the other two archangels, they would chat intimately together, drink tea, play, and occasionally do some innocuous little games that transcended the status of master and servant, although these were trivial and trivial things, but this made Lilian feel very happy, since she was born, it seems that she has never been so happy. Because of this, the annual Dragon Soul Sacred Scripture has become Lilian's only festival, at that time, she didn't care about any rights, what political status, only at this time, she was able to meet Lydia in the name of justice.

But I don't know what it is, at this time, the first person that appeared in Lilian's mind was not Lydia, but another young man who was also young, with long black hair and dark eyes. But before Lilian could think about it, the other party spoke again.

"There's another person who needs to be investigated."

"Who?"

Lilian, who was interrupted from her thoughts, forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and asked, but the next moment, the name made the girl's heart skip a beat.

"Rhodes. Elante. ”

"For what?"

"According to the information we have, under the attack of the undead army, even some areas within the Duchy of Moon have fallen, but only the area where this Glenbel lord is located has not only blocked the attack of the necromantic army, but also resisted the attack of the other party twice in a row, and from many indications, he seems to have been prepared for this. We think this is very problematic. If he has this information, then why don't he provide it to us? Also, he has only been the Lord of Glenbel for more than half a year, and what he originally owned was a wild and uninhabited territory. But he was able to resist the enemy that even the two major armies of the Principality of Moon and the Eastern Mountains could not resist in the first place. It's really worth playing. We think that this person is likely to be the key figure in the whole thing. ”

"I've heard about it, too."

Lillian clasped her hands and forced herself to look up, staring intently at the crowd in front of her.

"The Glenbel-Parfield Territory is currently at the forefront of the Duchy of Moon, and if it weren't for their efforts to defend against the necromantic attack, I'm afraid there would be chaos in the country of Moon right now..............."

To say that Lillian has no doubts about this in her heart is false, as I said earlier, although Lilian is innocent and simple. But that's a personality issue, not an IQ issue. Even the stupid pigs of the Council of Light would ask questions, how could she not know what was wrong with this? It's just that, also because of her personality, Lillian doesn't think badly, although she also wants Lydia to give her an explanation like everyone else. But to the girl, it was a private exchange, like two friends complaining to each other, and then communicating and understanding. And not in a serious courtroom. Cross-examination and investigation in full view.

"We suspect that he has a good chance of having a private relationship with the Night Nation, but in fact. We also have some evidence in our hands to prove it. ”

"Huh?!"

Hearing this, Lillian was stunned, she bit her lip and frowned.

"Evidence?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, judging by the information we have received. That lord had been in the ruined mountains of Soragon and had interacted with the vampire nobles of the Night Nation, and his realm had suffered the least damage in this war. It's hard not to associate him with the undead. ”

“…………………………………”

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, Lillian saw that the rest of the councillors were standing up, and the momentum made the girl curl up, but she quickly stabilized her mind, and looked at them with the same expression on the surface.

"We don't have much time to hesitate at the moment. We beg your permission, the people expect an answer, and the surrounding territories and nations are waiting for us to bring justice, freedom, and truth to the world as we have always done. In order to fight the darkness and evil that has come, we must first keep no one within us from being tainted and tempted by darkness before we can fight the external enemy! ”

“……………………………”

Hearing the House of Representatives speak in unison, Lilian also couldn't help but gasp, at this moment, the girl was really a little flustered, she subconsciously looked at the old man who had not spoken, as if she was grasping the last straw.

"What do you think about this, President?"

Almost with the last hint of expectation, Lilian asked. Hearing Lilian's inquiry, the old council chief looked up——— and at this moment the old man was already gray-haired, haggard, and looked as if he were eighty or ninety years old, like an oil lamp about to be extinguished. Hearing Lilian's inquiry, the old man slowly stood up, he looked at Lilian, then at the Council of Light in front of him, shook his head, and sighed.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, old minister......... The old minister has no opinion, my colleagues have already made a decision, I think......... That's enough. ”

Hearing this, Lillian only felt that her hands and feet were cold, and the whole person seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, and she just stared at the old council leader blankly, while the old man hung his head and looked at the ground with a stiff look, not knowing what he was thinking.

I don't know how long it took for Lilian to speak slowly, breaking the silence.

"I......... I know it, but ......... The stakes are high, and I think, I want to think about it. ”

"Please also ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible, this is for the sake of the living beings of the entire Continent of Light, Your Majesty should understand this very well."

"I'm .....................!"

Hearing this, Lillian reflexively raised her head and glared at the councillor who said it, but after a moment, she lowered her head again.

"I......... I'll think about it. ”

The bell rings, signaling the end of the meeting. The councillors stood up, saluted Lillian, and turned to leave. Soon, the originally lively room became deserted, and after the last moment, the old council leader also glanced at Lilian, didn't say anything, and left his place like this.

"Boom."

The heavy door closed again, and Lillian was the only one left in the large room.

"Uh............ Woo..............."

A low whimper sounded, and the girl sat down in her place, her head bowed, her two little hands clenched into fists, and the big tears fell down the girl's cheeks and dripped on the back of Lilian's hand, and the girl bit her lip like this, her eyes were red, and tears were dripping down her cheeks, but Lilian didn't seem to notice it at all. The girl lowered her head and let the sorrow and pain in her heart fill and surge. It wasn't until a moment later that Lillian reached out her little hand again, wiped the tears from her face, sobbed and took out the pen and paper next to her, paused for a moment, and then reached for the pen and dropped it on the white and flawless paper.

Crystalline, transparent tears flowed down the white letter paper, along with the pitch-black ink. (To be continued......)
