Lilian gazed at Sonia with knitted brows Even though she knew that she would be stopped by the Light Parlia her back, she had decided to look for Rhode if they did so!
If they did, this would be seen on the diploht to avoid political persecution froinable how the future between the Munn Kingdoht would become if this situation escalated
Lilian felt mixed emotions like a child who turned rebellious and threw tantruo on a holiday and yet her strict parents agreed instantly However, they had sent someone to watch over her
Lilian didn’t expect that the Light Parliaree to her request, just like e where they resisted their parents, but didn’t dare to behave overly spontaneous Instead, they found unacceptable reasons that would leave their parents feeling helpless such as doing things that they disliked If their parents stopped them, they could forcefully do what they wanted and this was the same for Lilian She hoped to leave Casabianca and spend time with Lydia and Rhode However, she knew that it was impossible, which hy she ht Parliaree and probably force her back to Casabianca…
But in the end… They agreed
Lilian curled her lips and obviously looked discontented However, as a kind hearted child, even though she wasn’t delighted to see Sonia, she held no intention of venting frustrations on her It appeared that the Light Parliaid parliament member who dealt with Lilian, perhaps she would stir up more trouble On the other hand, Sonia was only a few years older than Lilian and appeared like an elder sister Moreover, she was a gentle and beautiful young lady, so even if Lilian was furious, she wouldn’t abuse her After all, she wasn’t a spoiled brat ould throw tantruo her way
As Lilian sized up Sonia, the latter also observed the for the Dragon Soul Cerelance and Lilian had put up a stern look and kept a low profile However, it was different now After for Lilian, Sonia realized that the forh the little girl who sat on the throne wasn’t the Dragon Soul Heir and was hter Moreover, Sonia realized that Lilian didn’t see her true emotions, just like how she appeared perplexed on her cute face now It was apparent that Lilian didn’t enjoy having Sonia beside her, but the forer on her…
Sonia felt ah she had received Rhode’s order to accompany Lilian, she didn’t knohat sort of a person Lilian was Even if Lilian was a bully who abused women whenever she pleased, Sonia would have to obey without any grumbles because it was Rhode’s orders But now, Sonia felt rather h it was still a mission for her, it was better to co hurt all over, wasn’t it?
Lilian didn’t conceal her dissatisfaction toward Sonia and this co lady, she had rounds, became the third executive officer of the Lockos Financial Group, and had met many hypocrites who put up a solehts… Of course, Rhode was an exception He didn’t put up an expressionless face to hide his emotions It was merely a bad habit…
A pure, innocent superior like Lilian was a rare find Moreover, this little girl held qualities which made others wish to show tender affection for her This explained why Sonia wasn’t concerned when she saw Lilian’s resentful expression To the contrary, this further strengthened her deters, Your Majesty I’m a secondary parliaht Parliadoe of your schedule If you have any needs, please speak toas I can achieve it, I will do my best”
“Hrunt However, she realized that this wasn’t nice of her, so she quickly gestured and nodded withfor her rudeness
“Okay I got it…”
“Yes, Your Majesty”
Sonia stooped over hurriedly with a sh they had just met, Sonia already kne she should complete the mission that Rhode handed her
While Lilian and Sonia met, Rhode had already left the Winter Castle and returned to the Land of Atonedom Besides, he also heard froht Parliament However, he was only curious and couldn’t take any actions After all, the discussions between Lilian and Lydia was the communication between the superiors of two nations and he didn’t hold any right to intervene Even though everyone knew that Rhode had a bright future ahead of him and ell-liked by Lydia, his identity was only that of an Earl and overlord
Rhode was also aware thathim from the sidelines cautiously If he behaved overly passionately, it wouldn’t be surprising that they treated hi in the Munn Kingdoot involved with military affairs, internal affairs, and diplomacy? Marlene had advised him a lot of times to focus his attention on the Land of Atoneet into trouble with‘a tall tree attracts the wind’ went, Marlene naturally held her own intelligence network as the heir of the Senia Family She are that Rhode was in a risky position after being in the lih what he did was beneficial for the Munn Kingdo’s Party and Reforel, so she wouldn’t bother with small details However, the other nobles wouldn’t accept Rhode so easily—especially when he ht possibly steal their portion of the cake
Besides, Marlene was indeed reasonable In the Land of Atone for Rhode to resolve The problems weren’t military affairs, but internal affairs and the source of problems was… his construction system
After Rhode became the overlord, the Land of Atonement hadn’t been developed Apart from the fortress, the other areas were uninhabited mostly due to their positions by the border and inconvenient traffic The other reason was that Rhode’s construction system was too convenient
Of course, ordinary overlords couldn’t possibly repair and build their fortresses without paying a huge sum for smiths and other specialized workers However, this was also a cycle—to the contrary, Rhode’s construction systeh a cheat code that could save him from weeks to months to complete projects The workers were mostly burdened with families and needed to head to the construction site for work This way, it would naturally form an industrial zone As various needs and demands increased, this industrial zone would expand Exa repair and building requiring logging There were also needs for the workers’ entertain, which required facilities like stores, logging areas, and blacks and a complete distribution system would be completed at the end
Rhode wasn’t aware about this earlier on, but finally understood what it meant to have ‘h the construction system could build a majestic fortress in the blink of an eye, it couldn’t build the various distribution systems The level of prosperity of a territory mainly depended on the residents, where the commercial trade would prosper if the residents were rich and would encourage production to attract more people However, there were none of those in Rhode’s territory The entirety Grenbell was not as hty as it looked
Rhode had already tasted this poor result When the Undead Army attacked his fortress in the past, he tried to use delicious food as a booster to the soldiers’ morale However, he couldn’t find a qualified chef in this vast piece of land and even had to find them from the Deep Stone City and Paphield!
That went to sho underdeveloped the Land of Atonement was However, Rhode had no other choices back then If he focused his resources on building facilities in the territory, his fortress would have cruht side, at least they were safe from external threats As for the other areas… He could slowly develop them
Rhode returned to the Land of Atoneht
“Rhode…”
The Floating Boat docked and he stepped onto the platforure scuttling toward him He smiled, extended his arm, and embraced her
“… You’re finally… back…”
Beads of sweat had filled her forehead from this short sprint which showed hoeak she was Rhode retrieved a handkerchief to gently wipe the hair He looked up and saw Marlene, Lize, and Canary They were basically the ones who alelcomed his return Lapis was too occupied with her workshop On the other hand, Mini Bubble Gum’s appearance depended on her mood and she would turn up if she was free However, Rhode wasn’t mindful at all since they held a close friendshi+p
