Chapter 416 The Empty Chair Will Soon Come in Handy
"They are all my seniors, and you are right. We study hard just to fight against the void beasts. Why should I compete with humans?"
After being pointed out by Leila, Lilith readily revealed her cards.
"Being soft-hearted on the battlefield is the most deadly. How can you be sure that your only enemy in the future will be the Void Beast?" Leila disagreed. She said in a low and serious voice, "Although your last name is not Taylor, you are my sister. You will naturally be regarded as an ally of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Of course I understand. I haven't been a drag, have I?" Lilith couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"What if you really need to fight someone in the future? Will you hesitate and be soft-hearted? What if you let the enemy escape? You will be seen as a fence-sitter, and fence-sitters never have a good ending. Look at the Russell family now—"
"What happened to the Russell family?" Lilith looked surprised.
Leila choked and said nothing more, but she often went in and out of Highgarden with the princess, and had family members to report news for her, so she wanted to know more about the changes in Highgarden.
Although she refused to say it, Lilith was not really stupid. She just had no information channel. Now that Leila's words came out, she immediately realized what might have happened. If it was really as Leila said -
"Will Angie be affected?" Lilith subconsciously asked about the old classmate from the Russell family.
"She is now a servant of the temple and has long been away from these disputes. Maybe this is what the Russell family has planned for her... Why do you care about her?!" Someone raised his eyebrows and became jealous again.
"I just said it casually...Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore." Lilith smacked her lips and decided not to provoke this little firecracker for the time being. She seemed like she would explode at any moment.
She ran away and was the first to walk out of the contestant channel. Today was a rare sunny day in winter. After she walked out of the darkness and adapted to the bright sunshine, the first thing she saw was the girl in the black dress standing there waiting for her. Lilith immediately smiled brightly - she would not scold her for this, would she?
"Being praised?"
When Catherine saw her smile, she remembered how she had winked at her during the award ceremony, and a smile finally appeared on her cold face.
"Don't mention it, I got scolded!"
Lilith raised her hands and rubbed her face, then she pretended to cry and rubbed against the princess. It can be said that their food chain was relatively stable. Although Leila was disrespectful to her all day long, she listened to Catherine very much. Therefore, Lilith did not waste a second to complain.
"I'll talk to her later and ask her not to be so strict with you." Catherine said gently, and as expected, she saw Lilith's smug expression.
"You should have finished your work, right? Let's go!" Lilith stepped forward and took her hand, ready to drag her along. "Let's start preparing from now on, so we can have a big dinner to celebrate tonight. I've prepared the wine, including belladonna wine. I'm sure you'll like it!"
"...Wait a minute!" Catherine pushed back slightly, and when Lilith looked over, she looked embarrassed.
"Here comes...an old friend."
…………
"Don't look at Lulu. Only nobles can afford to keep pets." Lucas' voice sounded nonchalantly in the Rose Building.
Lulu nodded obediently when she heard that, but her eyes didn't move at all - it's so beautiful... Mom, she saw an elf!
Among the sofas surrounding the fireplace, there was a young male elf sitting there obediently, welcoming everyone's attention. His beautiful features looked sharp due to his superior facial lines, but his eyes were filled with the innocence and childishness of a teenager. Whenever his eyes met Lulu's, he would always smile back at her enthusiastically. Lulu was so dizzy by what she saw that she didn't care what Lucas said.
But she doesn't care, someone else has to take care of it.
"Pah!" Someone slapped Lucas on the head from behind, "What pet? How rude."
Lilith glared at Lucas, pushed past him and sat down in the empty seat next to the fireplace, "Lyriel, right? So this is what you look like!"
The last time she saw him, his face was covered with green dye, like a goblin. This time when they met again, Lilith really saw what he looked like. She had to admit that she now believed that elves were a race favored by the gods. They were really too good-looking.
Lyrael nodded happily and looked at Lilith curiously, "Did you win Lilith? Did you win?"
"Of course!" Lilith immediately raised her head and shook her long hair in a very pretentious manner. Lulu finally reluctantly looked away and realized that their hair colors were really similar! Standing together, they looked like family members.
"I knew you could win! You're so smart!"
Although Lariel was pulled away by Catherine halfway through, he immediately became overjoyed when he heard that Lilith had won, as if he was as happy as if he had won himself. Lilith was very moved by his innocent look, especially after she was scolded by the little firecracker Leila.
Please have a meal! This must be a meal for him!
"We are going to have a big meal tonight to celebrate our victory. You can come too!" Lilith's mood also improved with Lariel's smile. As she spoke, she remembered something and slapped her forehead!
"No wonder! I read the book of answers before the game today, and the prophecy it gave me was - the empty chair will come in handy soon!" She was a little confused at the time, but now she understands that this is an old slang about friends reuniting!
"Hey, Lilith!" Lucas rubbed his head to express his dissatisfaction, "You said not to rely on those weird things! But you secretly watched them and didn't let us play!"
"Ahem, well, that's because it's the finals day. It makes sense to take a look on such an important day!" Lilith cleared her throat and stood up.
"Then I want to see it too, can I?" Hannah raised her hand.
"Then I want to see it too!" Jaina also raised her hand and joined the formation.
"Okay, okay, in the evening! Let's wait for the bonfire party! Now we should get ready, champions!" Lilith was particularly easy to talk to at this moment. She smiled and invited everyone to set off together. As for the food for the party, they always liked to do it themselves.
Lariel was not shy at all, happily following the main group, and even greeted the locals -
"Catherine, come quickly!"
Catherine's gray eyes showed a little confusion. She really wanted to ask the Book of Answers at this moment, how did this person get here?
