This was considered an episode for Rhode Meeting an unfortunate ene But the eneendary being as hard to coh it wasn’t Rhode who had done the deed, the culprit appeared the sa the world was Two of the five legends in the Light Parliament had fallen under his hands Other than the Mist Sword Saint, the Cyan Goshawk had also been n with the Light Parlia external threats

Even though there were a few hiccups along the way, the group’s following tour went rather smoothly They had returned to the imperial residence safely and benefited a lot from this tour On the other hand, Rhode had achieved what he wanted It see the precarious situation and the Country of Light itself…

The group could be said to have fulfilled their wishes after the day tour and everyone started preparing for the Dragon Soul Cereon Soul Ceremony was exceptionally important, so,for the sake of safety, they were better off being better prepared, where even Lize and Anne were forced to take up etiquette training from Marlene After all, this was an iuished and complicated etiquette were essential Who knehat a naturally foolish young lady like Anne would do during the ceremony…

Everyone was busy with their preparation while Rhode had nothing on his hands In fact, he wasn’t feeling thrilled or nervous on Soul, so he didn’t value the ceree, one had to follow their local customs and the same went for Rhode He wasn’t that silly to remain idle before Lize and Marlene He found an excuse to slip away and dodge Marlene’s harsh etiquette training s for Anne and Lize to suffer

Lydia’s imperial residence was situated halfway up the h she wasn’t a permanent resident of this place, she had her own palace as one of the three Archangels But the palace would only be occupied whenever she visited the Country of Light But even so, the palace was comfortable and luxuriously decorated Sleek floors Soft, extravagant carpets Beautiful and expensive murals They appeared rather inhar in a sacred aura, but who cared, as long as Lydia didn’t mind?

“Phew…”

Rhode laid back leisurely on a stone bench in the garden and enjoyed the picturesque scenery He looked down to view the entire Casabianca presenting a gentle whiteness under the glaring sun as though it existed in pure, spotless radiance Judging from this, the reputation of Casabianca was indeed well-deserved But… that was a false sense of prosperity, after all

The corners of Rhode’s lips perked up as he once again recalled the aaht like a hot knife through butter, leaving them in an extre the Light Dragon Soul and its protection, where the Country of Light sank into turmoil froon didn’t infiltrate the Country of Light, it would still perish on its own But Rhode was deter them off easy if he didn’t personally destroy them with his own hands and allow them to head into a path of destruction themselves

Rustle

Suddenly, the bush beside hiure eirl as about 10 years old Her exquisite facial features and delicate face complemented one another perfectly She wore a relatively plain white robe inlaid with a golden-stitched design and the glory of the sun set off her silver long hair as it draped over her shoulders, eht She spotted Rhode and appeared seely surprised as she subconsciously came to a halt Then, she asked in a timid manner

“Who… are you? Why are you here?”

“This should be a question froed He stood up and waved to the little girl

“I’hness Lydia’s subordinates My name is Rhode Alander, and I am the overlord of Grenbell You are…”

“Ah…”

The little girl appeared seely to have understood the situation and nodded slowly Then, she relaxed her tensed body like a tiny squirrel watching its natural predator walked away She lifted her head and hesitated for a few moments

“You… You… can call me… Lily I’m the… the… Yes Someone from here”

Lily?

Rhode twitched his brows, but he didn’t probe further He nodded to the little girl and beckoned to her “Alright then, Lily Are you here to admire the view too?”

“Yes, Mister”

Lily nodded hesitantly as though she was Little Red Riding Hood who knew that the Big Bad Wolf had disguised as her Grandma and didn’t know if she should step one foot closer After a few moments, she approached Rhode step by step She sized up his face before quietly sitting on the other end of the stone bench Rhode rolled his eyes hopelessly and sat back on the stone bench with a shrug

The little girl rested her chin on her hands and she was entranced in the awesome view before her Then, she mumbled to herself

“I like the view from here I feel peaceful every time I sit here and look down at the scenery below Everyone see their blissful lives… No one in pain No one is crying A happy city A blessed country…”

“Ha”

Rhode curled his lips and let out a subtle sneer Although he didn’t like to destroy a little kid’s dreairl’s portrayal of this perfectly wonderful city The little girl turned over in displeasure

“What’s wrong, Mister? A?”

“No no no”

Rhode waved his hand without showing any e, Lily You ”

The little girl pouted and stared at Rhode in dissatisfaction

“Don’t treatabout, Mister You think that I’ht?”

“…”

Rhode didn’t refute and he had no intentions of denying her either For unknown reasons, he felt rather strange as soon as he saw her as though somewhere in his body felt particularly close with her It also felt as though he had ave hi But he couldn’t explain why he had such emotions because, no irl in the past It would still be possible if she was born in the Eastern Plain like Gaya, where they irl… I have never seen her before and yet, I don’t feel like I’er at all

“Well, that’s the truth, Lily This world isn’t as peaceful as you think”

Rhode curled his lips and gazed at Casabianca before him
