Chapter 853: Candlelight swaying

In the slightly darkened room, candles were inserted on the small cake, and

the warm halo flickered, reflecting on Lily's face, and warm tears slowly

falling.

"Why are you crying again, fool Lily."

"No, it's just a little nostalgic for the past." Lily whispered, wiping her

tears.

"Okay, it's okay now."

"Then close your eyes and make a wish. You used to want to be a queen. This

wish has been fulfilled. Do you have a new wish now?"

"Yes." Lily closed her eyes.

I don't want to be a queen anymore, I just want to have a simple and peaceful

life. She chanted silently in her heart.

But this wish is too capricious. He has already enjoyed the queen's glory and

power, but now he wants to escape irresponsibly. So please allow me to bury

this wish in my heart.

"What wish have you made, Lily." Ye Ling asked curiously.

"No, nothing, a very simple and willful wish." Lily shook her head.

"Hey, is it still secret?" Eidolon said disappointedly.

"Well, I am no longer a child, and I can no longer express my wish as before

without hesitation." Lily shook her head slightly.

"Why, why can't you say it." Eidolon folded his hand in front of his chin.

"Because I realize that some wishes are destined to disappoint and hurt

others." Lily was silent.

"It's complicated, I don't understand."

"Haha, it's better to be Eidolon, and you don't need to know everything." Lily

burst into tears and smiled.

"Is that so, no matter what, come and eat the cake." Ye Ling suddenly stood up

again.

"The knives and forks are ready." Lorrain Hill lightly waved his fingers, and

several knives and forks made of magic crystal fell slowly.

"I'll cut the cake." Lily said.

"Here." Lorrain Hill handed her a crystal knife.

Holding this slightly cold knife, Lily looked at the cake in the candle's halo

for a few seconds, then came back to her senses, pointed the knife at the part

of her name, and cut it open, revealing the softness in it. Cake body and

cream.

Then he cut this piece apart, divided it into small pieces, and handed it to

Lorraine and Eidolon.

"Can you eat it?" Eidolon was eager to try the cake, and then looked back at

Lorrain Hill.

"Let's go together."

"Um."

The three of them were sitting at the small table, eating cakes, and talking

about the past.

After Lorrain Hill and Bumansha graduated, Lily stayed in school for a few

more years, during which time Eidolon, Letis, Alena, and Niya were sent away,

and finally she left school.

"It's a pity that I didn't get into the fifth grade and got a diploma." Lily

said embarrassedly.

"My talent is average, and I don't work hard like Niya, so I only entered the

fourth grade in the end."

"After returning to my hometown, I cleaned up a few weak monsters in the

family's territory and lived a leisurely life. Because I was the youngest of

my brothers and sisters, my parents didn't ask too much, and there were a few

older brothers and sisters. We take care of it."

"So I had a great time during that period. During that time, I went to the

south to find Alina, but it was a pity that I came back after the war." Lily's

eyes showed a touch of nostalgia.

"After that, I met the Emperor in the middle of the Baska family banquet."

"At first, I thought he was also a young man from a little noble family,

because he looked really young and he didn't have any style. I wanted to kick

him at the time."

"Who would have thought that later he confessed to me and shocked me. Because

in the empire, many people are respectful and afraid of the emperor." Lily

shook her head slightly, and then lowered her head to eat the cake.

"However, all this is over."

"Two years have been like a dream, and now there is only a cold reality." Her

voice became low again.

"Huh, Lily." Ye Ling also walked over at this moment, holding Lily's head,

comforting her.

The two whispered a lot of whispers before they slowly separated.

"Do you have any plans and ideas in the future?" Lorrain Hill also walked

over.

"From now on, who will be sure about the future." Lily smiled bitterly.

"It feels precarious now. The center of power is the same as the eye of the

storm. There is intrigue and killing everywhere."

"In fairy tales, it is always said that the prince and the princess live a

happy life together."

"But few people think about what happened later. Will this prince be able to

inherit the throne, and even if he inherits the throne, will he be able to do

well?"

"The king who cannot bring prosperity and victory will only be abandoned and

cast aside, and as long as the cruel and cruel king can keep the country to

victory, all his sins will be forgiven."

"Everyone attributed their weaknesses and deficiencies to the king's failure

because the king brought misfortune to the country, but in fact, when a person

sits in that position, he will no longer be himself, but more Complex

existence."

Lily slowly talked about her personal feelings over the years. Although she

rarely participated in the decision-making of the empire, she also understood

and saw the truth behind many things under the influence of Emanque.

If the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua were not attacked, the grievances and

contradictions accumulated within the empire for many years had reached a

precarious point. It was also because of this grievance and dissatisfaction

that Emanke was able to obtain the support of the military and launch a coup

to the throne.

If the Ansel brothers are allowed to ascend to the throne and remain the same,

resentment that has nowhere to vent will burst out, and rebellions and

uprisings will be set off within the empire.

Other nobles in the empire did not understand the ideas propagated when

Crancia was founded, but Emank knew very well how tempting such a trend of

thought was to the people at the bottom. He even talked to Lily that if a few

years later, when this trend of thought spreads, even if there are no foreign

enemies, the empire itself will split.

"All I can do is to control this chariot and extinguish the burning flame, or

to flatten it, the empire will continue and unify the continent, or it will

fail, and the empire will be torn apart."

"Then there is no other way?" Lily once asked him.

"No, Lily. If you read the work of the sage, you will know that all the

problems were settled very early. This is a contradiction that cannot be

reconciled."

"The other side's existence seems to be to prove their own mistakes. If

Crancia gradually becomes rich and strong, then the empire will slowly raise

voices of doubts whether it is because our system and various unreasonable

things have created weakness and backwardness. "

"And if the empire defeats Crancia, then the people of Crancia have to admit

that the noble lineage really trumps everything, and the glorious noble system

is practical and effective."

"So the two sides will go to war sooner or later, and I just started this war

ahead of time when the empire was strong."

"This is not necessarily a bad thing. If the empire wins and gains vast land

and wealth, the problems within the empire will be greatly alleviated. At

least 200 years of prosperity and peace will be possible," he said to Lily.

"What about after this?"

"In the future? Let the people in the future find a way. There is no

absolutely perfect system in the world. You always adapt slowly, or you can

continue to change it if you can't." Emanke lightly stroked Lily's forehead

and replied. .

In the dimly lit room, Lily recounted some things she had heard in the past

two years.

"I can't change his mind, and he can't change the trend of this era." Lily

sighed.

"Now that he is gone, I can only guard my child, I hope he can grow up safely,

and it is best to stay away from the throne."

"But this kind of thinking is still a bit naive, and I have become more and

more aware of it recently."

"The struggle for power has no retreat."

"It's a bit sad, Lily." Eidolon also worried for Lily in a low tone.

"When it comes to future plans, I hope I can take my child to retreat safely

from this position. I am not a person who is good at sitting in this position.

I am not cruel enough or decisive enough."

"But this kind of thing is very difficult, because it's too sensitive, and if

it doesn't matter much, it will cause a huge domestic shock." Lorrain Hill

slowly got up, looked at the bright lights of Wanjia outside the window, these

streets on both sides The pavilions are lined up along the street, gorgeous

and neat, and the tops of many houses are also shining with the fluorescence

of alchemy creations.

"Yes, I also recognize this." Lily took a deep breath.

"I'm not a kid anymore, I can't be as willful as I used to be. Although I was

in this position due to an accident."

"But no matter how you say it, since you are here, you can't let go of your

responsibility at will."

"Even if you will encounter the assassination again at any time, and you have

to be cruel to remove those obstacles, can you stick to it?" Lorrain Hill

looked back, and Chun Che's eyes were like warm red jade.

"I think I can learn to do it." Lily closed her eyes.

"How are you going to clean up the situation left by Emmank? Now in the

empire, I heard that many people are turning towards Edron."

"Is it fully delegated to him, or is it struggling to retain some of his

power."

"It's better to struggle, although it's a bit stupid, but there is always a

sense of hope and security." Lily smiled embarrassedly.

"Oh oh, that's the right thing, Lily."

"After that, what are you going to do?" Lorrain Hill asked again.

"I intend to appease those families who have been involved in war and have

lost their loved ones."

"This requires a lot of money, not to mention, and some money may not be in

their hands." Lorrain Hill turned his head.

"This..." Lily bit her lip.

"I..." She lowered her head suddenly.

"Actually, I don't understand anything, and I don't know how to save

everything that Emank left behind." A few tears fell on the ground.

"Don't be sad, you will always find the way to the future slowly. Also, aren't

we here to see you?" Lorrain Hill touched Lily.

"If you want to solve various problems within the empire, this is not

something you can do alone, or even the current system." Lorrain Hill said

slowly, hugging Lily.

"So, you don't have to put such a heavy burden on yourself."

"Even though it is shameful, it is not impossible. People always have

something that they cannot face. It is better to escape and live than to die

sadly."

"Before this, you just have to do your best to do your job."

"Find people who can be trusted, bring some money, find people with good local

reputation and reputation, build some orphanages, try to raise the children

who have lost their families, and place those who have been injured and

disabled by the war around the orphanages. It can play a certain role in

helping and protecting, and it can also organize everyone to do some manual

work to support themselves."

"In this way, even if the empire ceases in the future, they can continue

without a sudden collapse."

"You can't give them bread every day, but at least you can give them the

ability to earn bread money every day."

"There are more things that you can't solve alone. It will take the struggle

of the entire age and countless people to change everything." Lorrain Hill

embraced Lily and helped her analyze it carefully.

"Don't push yourself into a dead end, Lily. Although what I said seems to be

very simple, it is not easy to actually achieve these two points. At that

time, you can leave this position with peace of mind and return to A peaceful

place to spend the rest of life."

"But... I still feel very sorry for a lot of people." Lily recalled that in

the Imperial Plaza that year, the couple who had married each other under the

witness of her and Emanke.

"Yes, because you are the queen of the empire, you are destined to bear the

corresponding sin."

"However, if you fall down here, you will never have a chance to atone for

your sins. And you will give power to those who are more lustful."

“It’s better to do 100 things right after doing 10 wrong things than never

taking steps.”

"Do you want to be morally perfect? Pursuing an innocent and error-free life

is not the path of happiness, it will only make you

before , Then turn in time and take the following path."

Lorraine Hill recalled the words that Mother Sand had comforted her in the

past, but she did not expect that she would tell another person today. And

this is not telling myself.

Although she has now held two crowns and has the ability to determine the

future, she has been restraining many of her thoughts all the time.

Because I am afraid of going the wrong way, it will bring pain and misfortune

to everyone.

Obviously seeing the various problems within the empire, all kinds of decay

and misfortune, but still reluctant to overthrow it, and luckily find a

peaceful way to improve it.

If one day, she is like Lily, because she has done something wrong, causing

pain to many people, can she face this kind of self calmly, and can she accept

the mistake of herself safely?

Having a sensitive body and mind makes it easy for people to be sympathetic

and kind, but this kindness sometimes forms an invisible ** to restrain

one's many thoughts, even if reason tells her that this is indeed right.

Perhaps, you have to be stronger and more determined, even if you are accused

or insulted, or not understood or doubted, you must stick to the right path.

People understand because of similarity, but when the individual exists longer

and longer, her views and opinions on the whole world will gradually change,

and eventually she will not fit into the world.

Perhaps this is also the reason why the witches have peculiar personalities.

I hope that even if I spend a long time, I can maintain a little understanding

and sympathy for ordinary people and not become that kind of cold-blooded and

icy witch.

Lorraine Hill comforted Lily, his eyes staring at the candlelight in a daze,

and the thoughts in his heart floated to the endless distance.

I'm just Lorrain Hill, not a witch.
