Chapter 794: A Perplexing Journey
Lilian stood above the city wall and gazed at the battlefield The fluttering snoasn’t able to cover the aftermath of the battle The corpses had been crees and blood
“Just as Mr Rhode said, if I don’t look at the world personally, I won’t see anything”
The little girl said in her shaky voice without turning back
“Due to our incapabilities, the flame of wars continue to spread across the land with countless people sacrificing their lives…”
Lilian held her hands together tightly and looked down as though it was unbearable to witness everything before her Rhode shrugged in silence There was only two of theht Parliament’s military representative had also intended to join the here was to meet Rhode and she didn’t wish for others to interrupt the decision This was the first ti the land that was perished in the flaht Parliament constantly assured her that they were ‘properly handling’ the situation Even though they sounded respectful, Lilian understood what they meant
But what could she do? She didn’t know anyone outside of the palace Apart froht Parliament, she had no other ways to receive any inforels After Serene left, Lilian felt incredibly helpless Casabianca was so huge, but she felt as though she was all alone
“Lily” Rhode called
Lilian had stopped hi her formally and he complied Anyway, to the players, it was the same no matter what they called her because they lacked the fear that the natives had Shortly after, Rhode continued
“… Even though I want to lie and say this isn’t your responsibility, I can’t do that In fact, you should be responsible for everything”
“Mr Rhode…”
Lilian turned around in astonishreed that this wasn’t her responsibility However, after hearing what he said later on, her heart started pounding But this wasn’t due to sadness or anger Instead, it was a sense of agitation Lilian had been searching for her personal problems and their solutions Should she continue to sit on the throne like a decoration? Or work hard to carry out her oill?
But… would her decisions always be right? The Country of Light was facing a crisis and if she acted on her own accord, would it cause the country to sink into further chaos and destruction? If that would happen, wouldn’t she be better off listening to the Light Parliament?
When Lilian opened the doors that she had never opened before, what presented before her wasn’t just brand new scenery It was also a whole different path that she had never stepped foot on The path was uneven and wasn’t as beautiful and clean as she had expected Instead, countless vines and potholes obstructed her way More importantly, it was complete darkness at the end of the path She couldn’t see anything and didn’t know if she would fall over the cliff and sink into the endless abyss at any point
Right now, Lilian stood before the door with her hands clutching the handles, gazing forward hesitantly She knew that if she put her foot forward, she couldn’t turn back anyreenhouse, the door would shut tightly behind her and she would have no other choices apart fro forward
“I’ve said that this is your problem and you have to make your own choice, Lily”
Rhode stared at her, which left her rather panicky because she had never looked face to face with anyone before Rhode’s gaze was so sharp that it had as though penetrated into her heart and seen through all her secrets She turned around instinctively, but quickly gritted her teeth and lifted her head bravely Rhode revealed the trace of a sht
However, this wasn’t enough
“I knohat you’re thinking You’re afraid and worried that your choiceconsequences But in fact, you have already made your choice”
Rhode extended his arm and pointed at the pile of burnt ashes on the battlefield
“That is the result of your decision”
“…”
Lilian trembled, bit her lip, and lowered her head After a short while, she looked up once again
“B-But I can’t do anything alone!”
Lilian felt much more relaxed now She had never spoken to anyone about her troubles and distresses before, not even Lydia But now, for so to Rhode
“I’! Rhode, do you know? In Casabianca, I can only think about Sister Lydia and you Only both of you!”
“…”
Rhode widened his eyes in astonishel Serene and Boulder would be around her no matter what But now, it seemed like she was alone and helpless in Casabianca?
What are the two Archangels doing?
Boulder…—forget it Rhode couldn’t care less about that bastard But what about Serene? He heard from Lydia that Serene was considered Lilian’s tutor and babysitter Logically speaking, Serene had been watching Lilian grow and the latter should be closer with her than with Rhode In all honesty, he had only met Lilian twice and didn’t , so why?
Lilian would rather gruels?
