Chapter 467 Do You Really Dare to Kill Someone?
"Have you figured out what's going on with Anqi?"
Lilith still took advantage of the magic broom and sat in the back without having to face the death gaze of the princess. She started asking questions again, but was met with a cold shoulder as soon as she spoke.
Katherine didn't say anything. She was still digesting the information Lilith had given her, that Lyrael had disappeared in Highgarden, and might even be in the Temple of Light, and that King George had followed.
All the long-standing doubts seemed to be connected together. She felt that she had found the truth, but she trembled because she had only glimpsed a glimpse of the truth.
Catherine pressed down the front end of the broom, and the two of them dived down instantly. Lilith was originally sitting some distance away from Catherine, but now her butt slid forward, and the two of them stuck together.
Oh, she should be thankful that she was wearing a layer of iron sheet. Lilith covered her butt and silently deducted points from the hitchhiker driver Master Kai. They had arrived at their destination, which was Margaret's mansion in Highgarden.
"You stay here for one night. Tomorrow I'll find a way to get Lucas out, and then you can go back to Gloria together." Catherine's brows were furrowed with anxiety. She watched Lilith pull off her helmet like pulling a carrot, and even felt a little angry.
At this time, she still had the heart to care about others. If it was true as she guessed, and Lariel's life was in danger, what would Lilith do then? She looked at the lively girl in front of her, and a huge panic rose in her heart.
"How's Angie?" This short-sighted girl simply thought that Catherine didn't hear her just now, so she took off her helmet and asked again.
Catherine felt like a tambourine was being struck in her head, causing her head to ache. But after taking a deep breath, she still explained Angie's situation in detail.
"I#*!!!!!"
Suddenly, late at night, the servants at the Ruvos mansion heard a burst of terrible swearing coming from the courtyard.
Looking at Lilith's face again, she was already filled with anger. She suddenly took out her sword and walked out, "Kill him, I must kill him!"
However, a whirlwind gently entangled her hands and feet, hindering her movements. Lilith walked slower and slower, until she was unable to move.
"...Have you ever killed anyone, Lilith?" Catherine asked the girl who was concentrating on cleaning up the whirlwind and refused to ask for help.
"Or, do you really dare to kill someone?"
Lilith's movements slowed down, and then her shoulders drooped dejectedly.
"No... I don't know." Lilith said with difficulty.
Catherine did not laugh at her. She walked over, took the sword from Lilith's hand, and stroked the moon gently as if admiring it.
"Killing requires great courage, Lilith..."
Under the moonlight, the princess' eyes seemed different from the coldness of the past. She seemed to be soaked by the cold night wind. Compared with Lilith's indignation, the coldness in her eyes was more like...
Killing intent.
"...But that man should be punished! What the hell is that knight? Pah! How can that man be called a knight!" Lilith felt the same way as Angie at this moment. Now it seems that Angie's fear, grievance and madness at that time were completely normal emotions. "Shouldn't he be arrested? Why? Why should Angie be treated like that?"
It's not fair, it's not fair!
The accusation in Lilith's eyes was too obvious. Catherine, who was originally distracted, could sense it. She suddenly tightened her grip on the hilt of the sword.
"You're right, Lilith, this is not fair." Catherine agreed softly, as if she had made some decision at this moment.
It's time to change. Those poor gods in the temple can't wait any longer, Angel can't wait any longer, and Lilith can't wait any longer.
She returned the sword to Lilith, "But not now, Lilith, what's most important now is your business, we must find Lyriel first."
Lilith pursed her lips, obviously wanting to say something on Angie's behalf.
"King George has been using a secret medicine that requires a curse to prolong his life." Catherine decided not to hide it anymore and let Lilith understand the priorities of the matter.
"You know that the Knights of Light have been searching for the night elves. Ever since..." Catherine recalled vaguely that King George had indeed been beyond medical help. In which year did his health begin to recur? Was it...
Catherine shuddered!
"Twins."
It was the twins! Kanien had clearly told her that the twins from Mulet had presented the king with treasures that he could not refuse, and thus were favored by the king. Moreover, there were elves who had converted to the Dark Moon Goddess walking among the people of Mulet!
The miasma that had troubled Catherine for a long time suddenly dissipated, but there was nothing to be happy about.
"Y-you're saying that he might be taking... elves?"
Lilith had already guessed most of what was going on from Catherine's fragmented narration, and her face gradually turned pale. If it was true, then this king was too perverted.
"He, doesn't he know that he has elven blood?" Lilith's lips and tongue were trembling. As far as she knew, even wild beasts rarely eat their own kind, but this king did it.
"Who knows?"
Catherine saw Lilith's expression and knew that she was finally afraid, so she continued.
"We have to deal with things one by one. I will not ignore Angie's injustice. I will find a way to control that knight. He committed adultery in the temple, and the only options waiting for him are burning at the stake or hanging, but we must find solid evidence. He is of noble birth, and I think you should understand the difficulty involved. This is not a trivial matter that can be resolved in a few days. If it is not handled properly, it will harm those gods. They will be accused of false accusations and even lose their lives."
The anger in Lilith's eyes slowly subsided, and she heard Catherine continue, "The most important thing now is your business. Lyriel's life may be in danger at any time. I can't watch you get into trouble, Lilith."
"……I see."
…………
"Your Highness?"
After the two finished their conversation, Catherine returned to the main entrance of the mansion and found Margaret standing in front of the door waiting for her, wrapped in a thick blanket, with an uneasy look on her face.
"I am so sorry, Your Highness, I—"
"You did a great job today, Margaret. Thank you for your hard work."
However, Catherine stopped her subordinates from apologizing. Whether it was bringing Lilith to see her first, or decisively taking Lilith and Ian away later, the intelligence general had done everything impeccably. She would not blame Margaret for the subsequent troubles.
"Please send all the backlogged letters to the temple tomorrow," Catherine asked. "I may have to stay there for a few more days."
Margaret blinked and said yes.
"Margaret." When this well-mannered young lady was secretly guessing the reason, she heard the princess calling her name.
"Yes, Your Highness," she responded hastily.
"If I choose a more dangerous path, will you still follow me?"
Margaret looked up in surprise and found that the princess turned around and looked at her without blinking.
"You can give up, Margaret. This is not a test, just a choice. You will still be my friend." Catherine added gently.
It was quiet under the moonlight. Margaret was no fool. She was good at reading people's expressions. In just a moment, she understood the meaning of Catherine's words, and her heart trembled.
——The princess seemed to have figured out another way to obtain the throne.
She lowered her eyes, and finally realized that beneath the overly calm face of the princess, there was a hint of madness: she couldn't wait any longer, she wanted to take a faster route.
Margaret suddenly knelt deeply and saluted Catherine, her gorgeous skirt blooming on the ground like a beautiful flower.
"Blood is the glory of the throne." Margaret's voice trembled slightly. "Although I don't know swordsmanship, I can't swear loyalty to you like Knight Taylor did."
Margaret raised her slender neck and looked directly at the girl with flying silver hair. She would not leave. She had finally gotten everything she had today. Where could it be better than here? She wanted to witness everything with her own eyes.
"——But I have already determined that you are my king, Your Majesty."
Even if it means regicide.
