Chapter 90: Lilian's Wish
It's finally here.
Looking out the car window at the snowy castle outside, Lilian couldn't help but feel excited. She leaned on the car window, feeling the chill outside, as the inheritor of the dragon soul, of course, Lillian did not have to worry about getting sick from the cold, but she was still a greenhouse flower spirituallyβββ but now, she also wanted to leave the ivory tower and experience the world outside.
Before the Dragon Soul Sacred Codex, what Rhodes and Anne had experienced when they took her out was a very exciting thing for Lilian, and before that, her world was only the Dragon Soul Sanctuary where she lived, and for Lilian, that was all she had been exposed to. As for the outer world, she can only experience and feel it through books and the reports of the Council of Light. Lillian didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, or that she had never thought of going out at that time. However, after Rod and Anne took her out, Lilian's otherwise calm heart began to stir. She was no longer content to just listen to reports from the Council of Light, and her own experience had taught Lillian that what the Council of Light said was not always true.
But these are not the main things, the main thing is that she longs to meet Rod and Lydia.
In Casablanca, Lillian has no friends. She used to be used to this kind of life, but now, Lilian felt that this life was a little unbearable for her. More than once she recalled the scene when Rod and Anne took her to wander in Casablanca, and although that outing left her with many unpleasant memories, there were also many good memories. She still remembers Anne dancing and telling her interesting stories about the mercenaries' battles and lives, as well as the out-of-this-world scenery that Rhodes led her to see. She'd never heard of it, not even seen it in a book. All of this was an eye-opener for Lilian, although Lydia also had a good relationship with her. But it was the first time that Lilian had experienced the joy of walking freely on the streets, admiring the surrounding scenery while talking to her friends.
However, in the royal palace she had no such friends.
Slynn never chats with her, she only teaches her homework that she is supposed to do. And the war angels are very respectful to themselves. But Lillian could feel a barrier that was invisible to the naked eye. They respect themselves, but they can't be their friends.
And with the invasion of the Night Country, the tension of the front-line war made the two archangels leave, Lilian felt even more lonely, at least Slyn would accompany her every day, but now, in the huge greenhouse, Lillian was alone, and she stayed from dawn to dark every day. Unable to communicate with anyone.
This was painful for Lillian, and because of this, her eyes lit up when she learned that the Council of Light wanted Rhodes to join the Combine on the front lines of Winter Castle. If she couldn't meet with Rod and them before because the two sides were in different countries after all, then now, Rod has come to the Land of Light, and she can finally meet him as she wishes! That's why Lillian decided that she would go to Winter Castle herself. In order to boost the morale of the front, I also hope to meet Rhodes again.
At first, the Council of Light was adamantly disapproving of Lillian's travel. But this time, the desire to see Rhodes prevailed, and Lillian uncharacteristically did not follow the advice of the Council of Light, but was very stubborn in deciding to go to the front. And in the face of such a resolute Lilian, the Council of Light had no choice but to raise its hands and surrender in the end.
And now. She's finally going to see Rod.
As the carriage approached Winter Castle, Lilian became more and more excited, clenching her little fists tightly and taking a few deep breaths. Lillian was worried when Winter Castle was attacked, she was afraid that the undead army would break through the defenses. I am also afraid that Rhodes will be injured or die under the attack of the undead army. But fortunately, the worst result still gave her a sigh of relief, Winter Castle was not breached, and Rhodes was not injured. This is already very good news for Lillian. As for the course of the battle, Lilian naturally got a report from the Council of Light. However, unlike the Hollywood war blockbuster model spread by the Council of Light, this report is relatively objective and neutral about the entire battle process. This shows that the Council of Light is not really stupid, and they also know that their credit in Lily's peace of mind is like a stock that has fallen to the limit, and if they dare to talk nonsense in front of Lillian again, maybe in the future, they will be like the child who screamed wolf, and they will not have the slightest trust from Lillian.
The carriage came to a halt, and then the doors opened.
The howling cold wind blew in, causing the girl to squint, but soon, she opened her eyes again, and a calm smile appeared on her face. At this moment, I saw the representative of the military department of the Council of Light walking forward quickly and bowing down respectfully.
"Welcome to Winter Castle, Your Majesty."
"Well, excuse me."
Faced with the welcome of the military representatives, Lillian only nodded slightly. As a superior, although she has been just a mascot for so many years, she has not lost her external etiquette. Lillian first glanced at the military representative standing outside the carriage, and then, with her hand lifted the hem of her skirt, she slowly stepped out of the carriage and stepped on the hard stone floor.
The howling blizzard suddenly subsided, and the moment Lillian stepped out of the carriage, the cold wind died away, and the snowflakes became soft and light fluttering in the air. All this is only because of the existence of one person, and that is the inheritor of the dragon soul of the light, the petite girl who is as delicate and beautiful as a doll. Under this sky shrouded and dominated by light, all things will bow down before her, and even nature, in the face of such existence, cannot be unbridled.
Lillian looked around, and soon, she saw Rhodes standing in the crowd. This suddenly made Lilian's eyes flash with a little surprise, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, and a little smile appeared.
"Commander, Your Majesty seems to be looking at us."
Sensing this, Anne leaned into Rod's ear and spoke curiously. Although before in Casablanca. When she and Rhodes led Lillian out, Anne didn't know Lillian's true identity. But later, after the Dragon Soul Sacred Book began, Lilian's identity naturally couldn't be hidden. But even so, Anne's attitude towards Lillian has not changed much. In fact, this is not surprising, for Anne, she has never cared about status or anything. It's like Rhodes, who is now a count and a lord. Most of the people under him called him "Lord" or "Lord Lord", only Anne called Rhodes "Captain" as always, as if in her eyes, Rhodes was still the leader of the mercenary group he met at the beginning, not some noble lord.
In the face of Annie's "little report", Rod didn't say much, instead, he glanced at Annie and nodded. This time, Rhodes arrives at Winter Castle. It's not to help the Council of Light defend against the undead legion's onslaught. He came here for his own goal, for his own plan, and all this is for now.
Lillian walked slowly, and on either side of her, the crowd stooped and bowed in respect. No matter how immature this little girl may seem. After all, she is the inheritor of the Dragon Soul of Light, and even on this continent, the Council of Light is working hard to eliminate the influence of the Dragon Soul of Light. But the glorious shelter above their heads still reminds them of who it is that allows them to survive on this continent.
No matter what they thought in their hearts, whether they agreed with the existence of the Radiant Dragon Soul or not, at this moment, they had to show their respect.
"Your Majesty."
When Lillian walked up to Rod's side. Rod also bowed slightly, he stretched out his right hand and pressed it to his chest, and saluted Lillian as standard. And on both sides of him, Anne and Seven Love are also doing the sameβββ as for Bilan's Heart, it seems that she has fallen asleep a long time ago.
"Luo Qing. It's been a long time since I saw you, and seeing that your complexion is still the same as always, then I'm relieved. β
Hearing Rod's words, Lilian also stopped, she turned her head and looked at the man in front of her, with an unprecedented, bright and dazzling smile on her face. Although the girl at this moment was very happy to be able to reunite with Rhodes, she still restrained the excitement in her heart in front of the public.
"I have heard about your contributions to the front line of Winter Castle, Luo Qing, I am here to thank you for your selfless dedication on behalf of the people of the Land of Light, and I feel very admired for your willingness to travel thousands of miles to come to Winter Castle and fight for the Land of Light and the people of the Land of Light. To thank you for all you have done for the people of the Land of Light......... Luo Qing, if you have any requirements, as long as they are within my ability, then I will definitely meet your requirements. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Hearing Lilian's words, the representative of the military department who accompanied her was obviously a little embarrassed, after all, it stands to reason that Lilian should come here to canonize and reward the heroes of the military department on behalf of the Council of Light, but now, she is obviously more interested in Rhodes, an "outsider", but what can he say?
On the contrary, after hearing Lilian's words, Rod smiled slightly.
"Thank you for your compliment, I just did what I had to do, but since Your Majesty is so generous, then I might as well be respectful. I am here to boldly beg for your blessings. β
Then Rod bent down like this, and then, in full view of everyone, he reached out and took the girl's tender little hand, put it to his mouth, and kissed it.
"What ..................!!"
Seeing this scene in front of them, the surrounding people suddenly widened their eyes and looked at Rhodes in amazement. They knew that Dao Rod was a very bold person, but they didn't expect him to be so bold! The other party is the successor of the Dragon Soul of Light, the ruler of this Continent of Light, look what he has done?! Seeing this scene in front of him, the representative of the military department next to him was also pale, but he couldn't say a word.
"Ah.....................h
In the face of Rod's sudden "attack", Lilian also blushed slightly, and after Rod let go of his hand, the girl hurriedly withdrew her right hand, looking at the man in front of her in disbelief, as if she didn't know what to say. In the face of Lillian's gaze and the gaze of everyone around him, Rhodes seemed very calm, he smiled and bowed, and then stepped back.
"Your Majesty, I hope I haven't offended you."
"No, no, Luo Qing."
It was only then that Lillian came to her senses, bowed her head with a blushing face, and then spoke.
"I will bestow upon you the supreme blessings, Luo Qing, and hope that you will continue to move forward under the guidance of the light. Keep the filth of darkness away from your soul and walk up the ladder to the highest glory. β
With that, Lillian nodded to Rod, and the girl turned around and walked on. Although Lillian's face was very calm, Rhodes could still make out the panic that flashed in her young face. Sensing this, the corners of Rod's mouth curled slightly, and then, he lowered his head.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Rod whispered, and at the same time he just stared in front of him, and there, the system prompt hanging in the void was so clear and eye-catching.
[Race: Dragon Soul Inheritor, Level: ?? (Unblocked)γ
Seeing this line of prompts, Rod raised his eyebrows slightly. (To be continued......)
