Chapter 337: The Trick of Playing Misery
"Squeak."
Lilith opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the familiar mural on the ceiling that Phoebe had painted herself. The air was filled with the familiar aroma of herbs, and she sniffed it gently, wondering if she was dreaming.
"are you awake?"
A hand gently brushed her hair away, and she turned her head following the gentle force. It was Ian, and several heads that popped up behind him. They all looked haggard, and it seemed that they had not had a good time these days, but at this moment, they were looking at her with bright eyes.
"Are you hungry, Lilith? We brought you some food." Lulu squeezed next to her and held her hand tightly.
Lilith felt like crying—she was finally back in Goletia.
"Are you sure she's okay? But she fainted as soon as she arrived..." Leila was standing in the distance, asking teacher Phoebe in detail.
"She was hungry and fainted from hunger! Why don't you believe it? She is as strong as a bull!" Phoebe said helplessly in response to the family members' questioning.
"..." Leila turned her head speechlessly. Her classmates had already taken out all kinds of food. The person surrounded in the middle was already eating happily and almost crying.
Leila sighed, and the worries of many days finally faded away. This is good, this is the best.
"Leila, where are you going?"
Lilith ate the familiar cafeteria meal while keeping her eyes peeled. She thought the infirmary was beautiful in every way. When she saw Leila was about to leave, she quickly asked.
"Go find Her Royal Highness Catherine." How could this matter be let go like this? Even if it was Her Royal Highness the Princess' brother, she had to go to Duke William's family to ask for an explanation.
"...Wait for me, I want to go too." Lilith thought for a moment, grabbed the fruit that Ian had peeled, and quickly got down to follow.
If I can't even see my own fun, then all the loss is in vain, right?
…………
On the west side of the third floor of the castle, a room that had been locked for a long time was reopened. The names of the faculty members on the doorplate were covered with dust, but the name "Cynthia" could still be vaguely seen. Although she had left for many years, Gloria had always kept an office for Cynthia.
"It's a royal elf." Simon squatted down, looked at Canion carefully and then made his judgment.
Cynthia had a look of shock on her face.
"You should know a little bit about it, right? That is the original elf species born on the Tree of Life, and it exists as the manager of the Elf Forest." Simon turned around and looked at his old colleague.
"Then, how is that possible?" Before Cynthia could say anything, William, who had already dealt with the mess, arrived and subconsciously refuted. "The genealogy of the Bishop family has always been very clear. I can clearly tell the family relationship of each ancestor, as well as the families they married into -"
As he was talking, he stopped, as if he thought of something.
"There is a partner of Bishop who is not recorded in the books." Catherine leaned against the wall and said softly.
"The human king, Zora Bishop."
The history books never mentioned who was Zora Bishep's partner. Although she had a brilliant record and was honored as the "King of Men", the records about her were as few and far between as her short life...
After being stunned for a moment, Cynthia suddenly thought of something, turned her head and glared at William - "Catherine didn't awaken late at all, she was just affected by your family bloodline!"
"I, I really didn't know before, Cynthia." William explained hurriedly, sweating.
"Oh, are you guys going to talk about household chores?" Simon stood up straight after realizing it belatedly, and finally touched Canien's soft silver hair that now had a pearly sheen, "I have something else to do, so I won't bother you anymore."
Simon disappeared on the spot.
Someone's stomach growled. It was Canyon. It was getting dark, and he had only eaten a little breakfast all day. The delicate Master Canyon had never suffered such torture before, and he looked at his parents with accusatory eyes.
"Is that enough? It's not enough to display me everywhere like a monster?" Cynthia's office was the only one with her family at this time, and Canien said hatefully.
A sneer came from the wall.
"You think this is a punishment?" Catherine just thought it was ridiculous. If this was a punishment, then what about Lilith's suffering? What about Leila's worries and running around these days?
Kanien was furious when he saw her like this, but he sneered back, "Of course this is not my punishment. My punishment is being born in this family! Being born in this family where my parents abandoned me when I was only a few years old!"
"Is this a choice I can make?! Yes, that's right, Ozler is in critical condition, Claire is old enough to hold a sword and go to the battlefield, and some people are still breastfeeding. Only me, only I am dispensable! I am the best choice, haha!"
Catherine watched with a cold face. Canion was always good at playing these pitiful tricks, but - she turned her head to look at her parents whose faces had changed. They just fell for it.
Seeing that there was hope, Kanyon became more and more excited, even directing his firepower at his usually fearful mother, "I'm just a mistake. You gave birth to me only because you wanted a daughter!"
Cynthia lowered her head and pursed her lips. When she raised her head again, she said, "You are right. It is indeed the case."
Kanyon's excited expression froze.
