Chapter 456: The first day of school is here again
"It hurts so much!" Leila frowned and avoided Lilith's touch. The big bump on her head was smeared with medicated oil, like a shiny light bulb, pitiful and cute. "Don't touch me, the servants in my father's house have already applied medicine to me."
Before she returned to Goletia, she still went to visit her father.
"There's no way his medicine can compare to what Jaina made. Besides, I can use healing magic."
Lilith still reached out her hand without giving up. It was the first day of school again. The two of them were sitting in the crowded school cafeteria, arguing with each other at a table as if they were fighting. Their friends were all watching and laughing.
"Why would you use magic to heal such a minor injury? No, it's not even an injury. Do you have so much mental energy that you don't know where to put it?" Leila turned her head away and refused to let her touch her.
However, they saw several classmates carrying food trays passing by in the passage beside them. The two of them did not dare to move so drastically. Lilith stopped and couldn't help but mutter to herself in confusion -
"But why?"
It is said that High Court has always maintained an indifferent and wait-and-see attitude towards Ozler's situation and has been in a stalemate with the Duke of Bishop and his family for so many years. Why did they suddenly agree to send troops now, and send three hundred gods' favored ones at a time?
Three hundred people! I heard from the teachers that Magic Tide started when their class was born, so the number of students started to increase from their class. Before, there were only about a hundred people every year, and three hundred people are close to the total number of graduates in three years! Compared with the stinginess before, this sudden generosity makes people more uneasy. Does Catherine know the reason? I really want to catch her and gossip about her.
"Hey! Do you want to get treatment or not?" Leila struggled with her for a long time. Now that she saw that Lilith really didn't move, she became unhappy again.
"Oh! Here it comes!" Lilith came back to her senses and touched Leila's forehead.
The cool temperature slowly spread as the light came on, soothing Leila's "horns", but it made Lilith angry again. She looked dissatisfied and protective of her child, "Didn't that person even apologize to you? Tsk, how come you are such a bully?"
"It's not all their fault. I didn't even look where I was going." Leila didn't care. She brushed away Lilith's hand that wanted to mess up her hair and confirmed again, "Have you remembered everything Her Highness Catherine told you to do?"
"Remember, remember!" Lilith responded hurriedly. To avoid getting a few more glares, she put an egg she had peeled herself into Leila's plate and said, "Eat more. The recovery training on the first day of school is not easy. Are you going to High Garden later?"
Leila nodded. She was the princess's knight and her protector, so naturally she would go wherever Catherine was. She finished the egg given by Lilith in a few bites, and then wolfed it down. She hadn't eaten in the school cafeteria for a long time, and she actually missed the plain taste, um, the taste of potatoes.
Only halfway through the meal, Leila remembered something. She poked Lilith, who was discussing homework with her classmates, and asked, "Where's the elf?"
He couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
"Oh, I put him in my winery." Lilith turned around and answered.
Leila was a little dissatisfied. "Why not let him live in the manor? At least there are servants and knights to watch over him."
"Lyriel is not a prisoner, Layla." Lilith said helplessly, "We have all started school, and the place is empty. He doesn't want to stay there, but the brewery interests him. I think there are many dwarves there, it's quite lively, and we can chat, so it's not bad to stay there."
Lariel was about to leave. He had just arrived during the holidays and had been running around with them, so he had hardly been around the city. These past few days, he was exploring the city with great interest so that he could have more material to brag about when he returned.
"He's not in a hurry at all..." Leila complained as she tore off a piece of bread and threw it into the soup. These two people, one is happy all day long and the other is heartless, but they can play together. Only she is anxious here. How annoying!
"He may not have the chance to leave the forest again. I hope he can experience what the human world is like." Lilith saw Leila's expression and bent her neck to explain to her sister. Seeing that Leila was unmoved, she added, "Perhaps his experience can eliminate the elves' grudge against humans. This will be of great help to Catherine."
Leila paused while tearing the bread, then stopped complaining and asked, "Where is his companion? I can ask the Knights to help pick him up."
"He said they have an agreed meeting place in a nearby city." Lilith also drank a spoonful of the chowder and said gently, "Don't be so arrogant, Leila. Lyrael just lacks experience, which doesn't mean he is a fool. You may not be able to beat him in the field he is good at. Don't always look at him as if he is a fool. He will feel it."
Leila was not unhappy at all when Lilith suddenly taught her a lesson like an older sister. Instead, she really calmed down. She pouted and nodded, and finally finished her breakfast on the first day of school obediently.

"Lariel is certainly not stupid."
Today is strength training. Lilith was assigned to the same log as Ian and Lucas because of her similar height. At this moment, Ian was in front, Lilith was in the middle, and Lucas was at the back, carrying the huge log and trudging through the mud.
Lucas was hoarsely walking under the weight of the huge wooden stake, and kept talking nonsense, "That guy, hehe, has unlimited potential!"
"...I didn't expect you to think so highly of him." Lilith, who was carrying the huge tree, couldn't turn her head. She didn't know whether Lucas was serious or not, so she responded casually.
"Hehe..." Lucas suddenly became very frugal with his words and just kept laughing obscenely. As a result, he was heard by Mr. Wolfe who was passing by and was scolded again.
"You deserve it." Lilith and Ian in front both laughed.
"Hehe, laugh, laugh. Anyway, I won't be the one who can't laugh in the end." After Lucas distanced himself from Teacher Wolfe, he started to smile playfully again.
That elf was also hiding something from everyone. When Lucas thought that even the princess who was praised as a genius was deceived by a silly-looking elf, he couldn't help laughing - Lyrael, you did a great job!
The end of the training was just around the corner. When several people felt that their arms were about to be crushed, Ian quickened his pace and rushed across the finish line with the two people behind him who were about to run out of strength. The huge tree slipped out of his hand and hit the gravel ground with a loud bang.
Lilith's neck was almost scraped off. After she walked out of the gravel of the training ground and came to the grass, she simply lay down to recover her strength. The sun near noon was very dazzling, and she was feeling uncomfortable when someone stood in front of her and blocked the sunlight for her.
Lilith was able to open her eyes again, and it was Ian who was standing in front of her, now looking into the venue.
"What are you looking for?" Lilith asked after she finally caught her breath.
"Daniel... doesn't seem to have returned to school?"
