Chapter 466 The demon concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people
When Catherine walked out of Russell's mansion, her face felt numb. This knight's house that had lost its heir seemed to be operating normally, but in fact, it had already been in chaos when the bad news spread. The door of the mansion was still open as when she and Angie came. It had not been closed for so long, and there was no one guarding it. There was only a black-armored knight leaning against the door, as if waiting for her.
Catherine's steps were unsteady and her mind was almost bursting with all kinds of information. The fastest way to get back to the Temple of Light was to sit on the magic broom, but the young crown prince seemed not ready to face everything.
She walked out of the gate of Russell's mansion and walked step by step onto the deserted street. The black-armored knight at the door followed her and walked slowly with her on the street. There were few pedestrians on the street where the nobles lived, and it was very quiet. The heels of the knight's heavy iron boots knocked on the cobblestone road, making a rhythmic sound.
"Clang, clang—"
The situation in Ozler was far worse than her mother had described - Catherine thought absentmindedly as she stared at the lights in the distant window. Countless people were fighting to defend their homeland, but what was she doing?
"Clang, clang—"
At some point, did she feel complacent about her small political achievements? Yes. Did she feel proud of herself for recruiting new forces? Yes.
"Clang, clang—"
But today, seeing An Qi's appearance and hearing her screams, she still felt that it was too slow. Everything she did was too slow. The huge obstacle was right in front of her, and she was still trying to close her eyes and bypass it, but it was getting farther and farther away.
"Clang, clang—"
——This knight walks too noisily!
Catherine was about to lose control of her anger, she turned around abruptly, "You don't have to follow me, go back first--"
She stopped talking, and through the dim light blocked by the shadows of the trees on the street, she keenly noticed that the black-armored knight was a little different. When he saw her stop, he also stopped his clanking steps, raised his hand to his face, and lifted the cover of his helmet.
"Are you angry?"
Catherine was stunned for a moment.
…The person inside was actually Lilith. She was wearing black armor that was obviously ill-fitting. The upper half of her face was now exposed, and she was looking at him hesitantly.
"Margaret was worried that things might get worse if the night went on too long, so she asked Ian and I to change clothes and follow the knights out of the temple first..." The lower half of Lilith's face was still covered in armor, and she explained in a muffled voice, but Catherine just looked at her from a distance without saying a word, which made Lilith feel even more guilty.
"Yes, I'm sorry..." Lilith took a step forward, and there was another clanging sound. Oh no, these boots really didn't fit!
"Why are you apologizing, Lilith?" The surprise on Catherine's face slowly faded away and turned into an expressionless face.
Lilith paused in shock, and the face mask on her armor fell off with a clang, covering her face again. When she hurriedly put it back on, Catherine had already stepped forward again.
"Clank, clank--" the sound of heavy boots rang out again, but Catherine no longer found the sound annoying. The two of them walked for a while under the moonlight, one in front and one behind.
Finally, Lilith couldn't hold it in any longer and she spoke again to break the silence.
"I know I was impulsive, but I really couldn't stand the situation at that time! You didn't see how they treated Angie at that time. She is a person, not an object. What's the church? What's the difference between strangling a person's will and killing her? And you also saw her hair. Angie loves beauty so much. Do you remember that she dyed her hair pink-"
"Lilith." Catherine turned her head around at some point and asked softly while looking at the chattering Lilith.
"How dare you?"
——She, she is really angry after all, right? Lilith thought anxiously, and the mask fell down again, and her vision went dark again.
——Why is she so brave? Catherine quietly watched her friend fumbling with her helmet again.
Lilith is not stupid at all. When she was unwilling to pay attention to me at first, she was as slippery as a cunning fish. She must know the consequences of offending the church better than anyone else. But later, she seemed to act more and more in accordance with her heart, and she took the path that others considered reckless again and again. She had no one to rely on, but she still made the worst choice for Anqi.
Was it for friendship? No, Angel was definitely not a friend to her... But Catherine vaguely felt that even if the Pope or the King stood in front of Lilith, let alone the Knight of Light, she would still make the same choice.
She is timid, but not weak. She is different from me.
"There is a buckle here..." Lilith finally saw the light again. Catherine returned to her and lifted the veil for her.
"Just like this... buckle it on, okay." Catherine's voice was clear but gentle. With a slight sound of metal clashing, the annoying mask was finally fastened and no longer fell off.
Lilith looked at Catherine's face and finally made a shameless judgment: "Hey, you're not angry, that's great."
"angry."
Huh?! Lilith immediately withdrew her playful smile.
"You said that as long as I handle it quickly, trouble won't catch up with you." Catherine looked at Lilith, whose face was about to cramp. "If you get into trouble, it means I'm not working hard enough and I'm not capable enough. Why are you apologizing to me?"
Lilith was stunned by this clear statement of favoritism. She looked Catherine up and down three times and found that she seemed serious.
"Besides, I never think you did anything wrong, Lilith." The moonlight fell into the princess's gray eyes and merged into a clear spring.
Hiss——! Lilith covered her chest.
Was the princess bewitched by her beauty and charming temperament? Otherwise, why would she say such obvious partiality? This shouldn't be the case! Her role shouldn't be a concubine who brings disaster to the country and the people, right? Does such a thing exist in a drama with a heroine as the main character? Can it last long? Once Lilith relaxed, she began to talk nonsense again.
Without noticing, Catherine walked forward again.
"Clank, clank, clank!" Lilith came over again wearing her big iron boots.
"Since, since you said so." Lilith blushed, "There is one more thing——"
Catherine, who was originally thinking about Angie's incident, turned her head and looked.
"Well, Lyrael is missing." Lilith pointed her finger, throwing out another problem that Catherine needed to solve.
"........."
"…………"
"——Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?!"
