Chapter 789 - A Surprising Conclusion (2/2)
Rhode sat on the chair and gazed at her with knitted brows. Sonia nodded and gave a firm answer.
“Yes, Master, I’m sure. The reason why Her Majesty Lilian hasn’t arrived at the front line was due to safety reasons. The Light Parliament thinks that it is too dangerous for her to come to the Winter Castle when a war is brewing. This was why they delayed her schedule and she also accepted their reason to come only after the war ended.”
This wasn’t any different from the rumors that he had heard. However, it was due to this that he found it amusing because this reason was… too, too, too… How should he put it? He didn’t know how to explain. Back then, he thought that the Light Parliament was incomparably clumsy to bring out this excuse. But now, he realized that this was the truth and learned that Sonia was truly loyal to him—if not she definitely wouldn’t bring out such an idiotic investigation result.
But… How is this possible?
Rhode couldn’t figure it out. Lilian was the Creator Dragon Soul, where even Charlie might have a hard time facing her if he were present, not to mention an insignificant Necromancer. Safety issue? This was clearly an excuse. But it seemed that this was the truth. Could it be that the Light Parliament was so unprofessional in finding an excuse for themselves?
Rhode had a doubt in his mind.
“Sonia, is no one in the Light Parliament worried that Lilian would defeat the Undead Army and recover her position?”
“Defeat the Undead Army? Her Majesty Lilian?”
Sonia gazed with an astonished expression. She dazed for a few seconds and puckered her brows.
“This… Master, I’m sorry. I’ve never heard such discussions within the Light Parliament.”
“Not even from the official parliament members?”
“No, Master.”
“What do they think about Her Majesty Lilian’s strength?”
Rhode gazed at Sonia and asked.
“Strength?” Sonia pondered for a while and finally said, “Master, Her Majesty Lilian is only a child…”
“Do you think that she’s stronger than a Battle Angel?”
“I…”
Even though Sonia didn’t reply, Rhode knew her answer through her perplexed expression and this surprised him. As a secondary member of the Light Parliament, Sonia knew nothing about the strength of a Creator Dragon Soul?!
At this moment, Rhode had a surprising conclusion.
Could it be that the Light Parliament knew nothing about Lilian’s true strength?
If that is the case, this situation may be more interesting than I thought…
Rhode returned to his senses and looked at Sonia with a smile.
“You did well, Sonia.”
“Ah…”
Sonia’s eyes glinted. She bit her lips gently and gazed back with desire. Then, she heard the answer that she had yearned for for days and nights.
“Be a good girl and stay in your room tonight. I will give you the reward you’ve always wanted.”
