Lilian stood on the city wall, staring at the battlefield in front of her, the snowflakes falling from the sky did not bury the traces of the battle in front of her, charred black, blood, already burning flames and black smoke, the bodies of the previous war dead had been cremated, and only these charred, pitch-black traces remained here.

"As Mr. Rhodes said, I won't see anything unless I come out and see it myself."

The girl didn't look back, but from her slightly trembling voice, the girl's mood was already conveyed.

"Because of our incompetence, the flames of war are burning on this land, and countless people have given their lives for it........."

Lilian's hands clenched, and she lowered her face, as if she couldn't bear to look at what was in front of her. And looking at Lillian beside him, Rhodes shrugged his shoulders and said nothing. At this moment, on the huge city wall, there are only two people, him and Lilian. Originally, the military representatives of the Council of Light also planned to come with them, but Lillian rejected his suggestion. Like Rod, she came here this time mainly to meet Rod, and naturally she didn't want anyone to disturb them.

But now, Lillian felt as if she had made a wrong decision, and for the first time she felt powerless when she saw the war-torn land in front of her. Before that, Lillian had also heard of the frontline war reports, but at that time, whenever she asked, the Council of Light would say "We are taking care of it", although their tone was very respectful, but of course Lillian could not understand what they meant.

But what can she do? Out of the palace, she didn't know anyone, except for the Council of Light. Lillian could barely get any news, she could only find out what was going on outside through the War Angels. There used to be Slyn, but after Slynn was gone, Lillian only felt alone, the size of Casablanca, but as if she was alone.

"It's not your responsibility. Leigh. ”

Looking at Lilian's back, Rod spoke. When the two of them were alone, Lilian asked him not to call His Majesty again, and Rhodes was naturally good, anyway, for the player, no matter what it was called, he didn't have the fear and awe that the aborigines should have. But soon, Rhodes changed his mind again.

“……… Although I'd love to say that and tell you it's true. But I can't do that. The truth is, you are indeed responsible for all this. ”

"Mr. Rhodes........."

Hearing Rod's words, Lilian turned around in surprise and looked at Rhodes in front of her. As Rod said, hearing Rod speak at the beginning, Lillian really didn't think so. But after hearing Rod's next words, Lilian's heart suddenly beat violently. It wasn't because of sadness or anger. It's because of the excitement, in fact, that Lillian has been looking for her own problems. What exactly should she do? Is it to continue to sit on the throne, like an ornament? Or do you try to act and carry out your will? But............

Does she have to be right? Now that the Nation of Light is facing such a critical situation, if you do what you want, will it drag the country into the abyss of chaos and destruction? If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to just follow the orders of the Council of Light?

For Lillian. When she pushed open the door that had never been opened, she was not only exposed to a new landscape, but also a path she had never seen before, completely different from what she had imagined. The road wasn't smooth, and it wasn't as good as Lillian had imagined. Clean. On the contrary, countless thorns stood in her way, the potholed road was full of stones, and more importantly, at the end of the road was darkness, and she could not see what was there, nor did she know if she would walk and fall off the cliff and fall into the bottomless abyss.

Now Lillian stood in the doorway, the girl holding the doorknob with both hands, looking hesitantly ahead, her feet on the inside of the threshold, but only half a step, for she knew that if she took another half step, then she could not turn back. As soon as she walked out of the greenhouse, the door would be closed to her, and by that time, she had no choice but to move on.

"I once said it's your problem, it's up to you to choose, Leigh."

Rhodes stared straight at Lillian, much to the girl's chagrin, for she had never looked at anyone like that before. Rod's gaze was so sharp, as if he could go directly into the girl's heart and see through all her secrets. This made Lilian instinctively want to turn her head away from Rod's gaze. But soon, I saw the girl gritting her teeth, raising her head, and bravely bearing Rod's gaze. Seeing this scene in front of him, Rhodes couldn't help but flash a little smile in his eyes——— it seemed that his choice was correct.

But that's not enough.

"I know what you're thinking, you're afraid, you're worried about the terrible consequences of the choices you've made, but in fact, you've made your choice."

With that, Rhodes reached out and pointed to the burnt ashes outside the city walls.

"And that's the consequence of the choices you make."

“…………………”

Hearing Rod's words, Lillian couldn't help but tremble, and the girl bit her lower lip and lowered her head. Soon, though, she looked up again.

"But, but, I can't do anything alone!"

When these words were spoken, Lilian felt that her originally suppressed mood suddenly relaxed a lot, she had never said it in front of anyone, even in front of Lydia, the girl did not want to say her distress and annoyance. But at this moment, in front of Rod, I don't know what Lu Dao is, but Lilian has an idea of wanting to pour out everything.

"I'm just a person, I can't do anything! Rod, do you know the truth? The only thing I can think of in Casablanca is Sister Lydia and you. It's just you!! ”

“…………………”

Hearing Lillian's words, Rod's eyes widened in surprise——— he was really surprised, before hearing what Lillian said, he thought that anyway, the two archangels, Slynn and Boulder, should be on Lillian's side, but now. Listening to Lilian, she is actually alone in Casablanca?

Those two archangels are hairy?

Boulder —————— forget it, that bastard doesn't care about him. What's going on with Slyn? He knew from Lydia that Dauslin was Lilian's governess and nanny. It stands to reason that Slyn has been taking care of Lillian since she was a child, and as a result, Lillian has not been close to her? The conscience of heaven and earth, he and Lilian have only met twice, and they haven't given any medicine to this dragon soul heir, His Majesty?

As a result, Lily Anning can complain to herself and not seek the help of the two archangels?

Rhodes now felt that the situation was a little strange, and he always felt that the silence of the two archangels on this was probably a sign of something not very good. If it's Shaliye, then Rod can still understand. People have a crush on the original dragon soul of light, and they don't deal with the council, after all, there is a love feud between children and daughters, which is understandable. But Slynn and Boulder don't have any "historical grudges", as archangels, shouldn't they do their best to protect Lillian?

The thought of surprise only flashed through Rod's mind, but he soon calmed down.

"You need to find your own companions. Leigh, some time. If you don't reach out and ..............."

With that, Rhodes stretched out his hand and placed it in front of Lilian.

"Well, they won't hold anything, because they don't know if they should do it."

“……………………………”

Lillian watched silently at the one stretched out in front of her. Rod's palm, hesitated for a moment, and then she raised her head, as if to ask something, and at this time. Rod smiled slightly.

"So now, will you hold my hand? Leigh? ”

Lillian didn't speak, but soon, the girl stretched out her little hand and held Rhodes tightly.

The road ahead is still difficult, vague, and there is no future in sight. But at this time, Lilian suddenly felt that her heart was no longer as hesitant as before, because at this moment, there was one more person beside her, and that person was holding her hand and whispering to herself that he would go on the road with her.

For Lilian, her journey is no longer alone.

Sonia returned to open the door and returned to her room, the exhaustion of the banquet making her sigh. She saw with her own eyes that Andre had received the blessing and reward from His Majesty the Dragon of Light, and he was so excited, so excited. Sonia knew what that meant to Andre, but now, she didn't have the slightest feeling for that man. Even when I saw his smile, it was just an extremely unfamiliar expression for Sonia. But even so, Sonia was still very happy, and it was not because of Andre, but because of Rod. Her master had finally taken everything he wanted, and to this day, Sonia was thrilled to think of the night she was toyed with by Rhodes in front of Andre. Since giving her body to Rod, Sonia feels that she can't live without this man more and more.

And the smile that was once hidden in her memory has completely left her mind and memory.

And just as Sonia took off her coat and was about to rest, suddenly, a voice came from behind her.

"Good evening, Sonia."

“………………！！”

Hearing this unfamiliar voice, Sonia turned around in surprise, but when she saw Rhodes sitting leisurely in the chair, Sonia immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then she walked quickly in front of Rhodes and lowered her head.

"Hello, master, excuse me, .................. you are here so late"

Saying this, Sonia raised her head, her eyes full of expectation. Although there was still a faint pain under her body until now, it made Sonia more and more desperate to be toyed with and ravaged by Rod, in order to make the pain more intense, like that night, completely tearing her body and mind.

"I know what you're thinking, but it's a pity, this time, I have something serious to discuss with you."

Noticing Sonya's expectant expression, Rhodes curled the corners of his mouth and a few smiles appeared. Hearing Rod's answer, Sonia was a little disappointed in her heart, but she still collected her mood and asked.

"What do you command, master?"

"It's simple."

With this, Rhodes suddenly stood up, and he came to Sonya's front and looked at her like this.

"Sonya.................. Are you interested in becoming the President of the Council of Light? ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Rod's sudden words, Sonia was stunned for a moment, indeed, once upon a time, she also had such expectations. But............... Now that Sonia has given up, by Rod's side, she finds that everything she once expected is a piece of shit. And those parliamentarians who used to be high in the sky now seemed nothing more than that, in the eyes of Sonia. Because of this, Sonya's attitude in the Council of Light has become more and more resolute instead of being submissive. But Sonia didn't expect that it was precisely because of her transformation that her position within the council became more and more solid. If it were the same as before, I'm afraid Sonia would have thought about taking the opportunity to go further, but now, she has completely lost this thought.

"I did think so, master. But now that I've given up, as long as I can do things for you, I don't care about the dregs of the Council of Light. And............ Even if I wished, it would be an impossible task, because the Council of Light has no tradition of women in power........."

"I know all of this, but it doesn't matter, so what if it's my order?"

"Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it for you, master."

"Good."

Hearing Sonya's answer, Rod nodded in satisfaction, and then he reached out and picked Sonya's chin and looked at her.

"So now, I have a very important task for you..............."

Rod looked into Sonya's eyes and spoke.

"A mission related to Her Majesty Lilian, to the Council of Light, and to the entire Continent of Light............... And this is the only thing you can do..............." (To be continued......
