PFC Chapter 552 Whose child is this!
Chapter 552 Whose child is this!
For the first time, Lilith felt that the campus of Gloria was so vast. It turned out that as long as Leila deliberately avoided her, they would not meet for many days. In a blink of an eye, it was Friday again. Lilith followed her friends towards the school gate, and the words Leila said that night emerged in her mind again.
On the night of Viscount Friar's death, the intruders at Tandinshire Manor included not only a black dragon but also elves. Zephirion personally killed Viscount Friar, while Layla was knocked unconscious by the elves. Her words were so certain that Lilith couldn't help but believe them.
Who could those elves be? The long-lived ghosts she had provoked in Shadowlock? Or spies sent from the Elven Forest?
If they were investigating Zephirion, then why hadn't the elves responded to Zephirion's question for days, even though they'd known each other? Wasn't she some cool, domineering elven goddess?
It seems that the elves are not very enthusiastic about this so-called "Mother Goddess"... Lilith sighed, and felt that it was the right choice not to rashly follow Zephirion to the Forest of Elves, otherwise it would be too embarrassing!
The school gates had already opened, and many people were eager to head outside, eager to see what the streets looked like after being ravaged by the dragon. Lulu and the others were excitedly discussing what potion ingredients they should buy at the grocery store this week.
Only Lilith was standing in the back, preoccupied. Ian, beside her, had a flash of worry in his eyes. He lowered his head and said, "Don't overthink it. Miss Leila is a sensible knight. Her anger is only temporary. She has always treated you as a true family member. I can feel it."
Lilith smiled bitterly, but still looked up and teased the honest man, "You didn't even hear her prayers, did you? That's not gentlemanly behavior, Ian."
It was just a joke, but Ian's ears immediately turned red. He shook his head: "Miss Leila hasn't prayed to the gods for a long time. I say this because I have siblings myself, so I naturally know what it's like for family members to get along."
Lilith suddenly realized, yes, Ian once said that he also had a brother, but that poor child died early, and Ian became an orphan and was taken in by the church, so he didn't want to see any rift between Lilith and Leila.
Lilith was moved and hooked her arm around her partner's shoulders, wanting to comfort the poor little girl.
"Miss! Miss Lilith!"
But she didn't expect that just after she left the campus, someone rushed over, grabbed Lilith's wrist and rushed out.
"Hey? Bella?!" Lilith followed Bella through the tightly packed crowd, not even having time to say goodbye to her friends. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong at the winery?"
Bella's cheeks flushed and she nodded desperately: "Yes, Miss, let's go to the winery--"
Wow, Lilith had never seen Bella like this before! She immediately ran faster than Bella and rushed all the way to Ye Hailong Street.
That is her livelihood business, nothing can go wrong!
Shelley Winery has expanded once more. If it were not for the limitation of grain production, the output would be even greater. Even with such limitation, the ruts of daily vehicles have made the original road here bumpy and badly damaged. Now the road surface of this street was newly repaired with money donated by Shelley Winery to the city hall.
Lilith ran very fast on the flat stone road, leaving Bella eight feet away. After jumping into the winery's gate, she immediately began to inspect her territory. Then, everyone in the winery who had just finished work heard the boss who suddenly appeared shout -
"Hey! Whose kid is this!"
As soon as Lilith entered the backyard, she was startled by the scene in front of her. A little girl was running among the workers coming and going in the yard with a rapier in her hand, like a reckless lark.
The careless dwarves around them didn't stop, and continued to go about their business. A small cart laden with wine jars passed by, and the girl, laughing playfully, was about to run over to the side.
"Stop!" Lilith was frightened and hurried forward to block it with her body, causing the little firecracker to hit her.
The little girl was knocked back two steps, raised her hand to rub her head, glanced at Lilith and was about to run to the back street.
"Stop! Where are your parents? How can such a young child play with such a dangerous weapon? Do you know what you are doing?" Lilith quickly grabbed her collar and pulled her back into the door, and was about to take the small sword from her hand.
The little girl was not happy about this. She held her sword in front of her body and threatened with bravado: "My sister is Leila Taylor!"
"Haha, who is that?" Some dwarf craftsmen, unaware of the situation, watched their boss arguing with a child, and they all came forward with a smile to watch the fun.
"She is the greatest knight in the empire!" So how could she not know how to use a sword? Stop looking down on others!
"Hahahahahaha!" The dwarves burst into laughter. "This is a magical city, my lady. It's hard for knights to find work here, right, Boss Lilith?"
Boss Lilith didn't respond. She picked up the little thing in her hand in shock and looked at it carefully - blue eyes, blonde hair.
She blinked, and the little girl opposite blinked too.
"—these stills are fascinating!"
Hearty laughter rang out from the workshop. Lilith looked up and saw a red cloud floating out from the distillery, smiling brightly at her.
"Well done, my dear daughter."
The maid with a hooked nose and a serious face who followed closely behind her also saluted Lilith.
"…Melissa, Ram."
Lilith put down the little girl who began to twist her body in a daze. The girl did not cry or complain after being picked up. Instead, she ran to the dwarves who had just started the commotion.
"This is..." Even though she already had the answer in her heart, Lilith couldn't help but confirm with her smiling stepmother.
"Aren't knights popular here?" The little girl, still remembering the dwarf's teasing, asked, "What about magicians?"
"Oh, of course, my dear lady. This city exists because of the magicians." A black-bearded dwarf responded with a smile.
The little girl showed a look of sudden enlightenment and began to brag to them again: "My sister is Lilith Flair, the greatest magician in the empire!"
Lilith: ...you're such a boaster!
After all this time, it turns out that the naughty kid is our own.
