Chapter 384: Support You Again
"Why are you competing with them?" Lilith sat behind the long table and whispered to the person next to her.
The school finally started. Catherine had her own things to do, so she sent Lilith to the student union recruitment office to act as a front. Leila no longer had to follow the princess all the time, but she was caught by Lilith and was sitting with her at the school gate as punishment.
Ever since Leila staged the duel, all the guardians of their team were thrown into the knight team of Taylor Manor by Leila. They trained day and night. Only when there was a lot of work to do at the beginning of the school year did they finally get a moment to breathe. Except for Ian, everyone else has disappeared now.
"Who told you not to change guardians and say that the oath is unfair." Leila was not someone who could sit still, but now that she was being held back by her sister, she could only stare aimlessly at the people coming and going at the school gate.
"--Now that they all know the truth, they should renew their oaths, and I am their witness." Leila felt that there was nothing wrong with her approach. "Now the only thing they need to do is to train and become stronger, so that they can truly become a solid shield that can stand in front of you, instead of asking you to take the lead and cover behind you in everything."
“Leila…” Lilith looked at the stubborn little girl in front of her, feeling sour and hot in her heart, but she still tried to stay rational. “I know you are doing this for my own good, but… I am not a child anymore. You don’t have to think so much about me all the time. There are some things I can do on my own—”
"I just don't want you to do everything by yourself!" Leila suddenly turned around and glared at her, with a complicated expression on her face.
"...Why? What's wrong with you?" Lilith noticed her mood change and squeezed closer to her sister despite her resistance.
Leila pursed her lips, not knowing where to begin. Ever since her father came to Highgarden, several contacts finally made her see clearly - her father really did not like her sister, and even hated her.
But what did she do? She complained to Lilith over and over again about the sweet troubles that her father's excessive care brought her when she was growing up, but Lilith never said anything at that time, and even smiled and joked with her...
She was like complaining to a homeless person in the cold winter that her fireplace was too hot, which made Leila feel sad every time she thought about it.
"You're only two years older than me, why are you acting so grown-up!" Leila's tone refused to soften, and she turned her head to the other side. "You want to do everything by yourself, didn't you have enough of this kind of life when you were a child?"
Lilith was stunned - what does this have to do with anything? Why do people always imagine her miserable childhood?
"You don't have to envy others, and you don't have to ask... ask others for things. I can give you what you lacked in your childhood..." Leila turned her head and looked at Lilith seriously.
"I can support you again."
Give her all the care that she didn't get before.
Lilith was stunned. She looked at the stubborn little girl in front of her and was almost frightened by her determined eyes... What was she going to talk to her about at the beginning? Why did the topic turn to this? And - wait! Isn't she the older sister? !
"But I didn't, I'm not--" Lilith wanted to deny in confusion, but the red-haired girl in front of her suddenly stood up.
"They have rested long enough today. It's time for training. I'll go and get them all back." Leila seemed to be allergic to warmth. After she said those words, she regretted it very much. At this moment, she felt very embarrassed. Regardless of Lilith's lack of response, she stood up and was about to run.
"Eh?" Lilith quickly grabbed her and said, "Today is the first day of school. It's okay to let them take a day off. Classes will officially start tomorrow."
The calluses from Lilith's sword grip pressed against the back of her hand, which was prickly but reassuring. However, Leila still steeled herself and pulled her hand free. "Even if they don't want to train, I will train too. I am the knight of the princess, and I am different from them!"
She picked up the greatsword that was standing beside the table and ran away regardless of Lilith's shouts.
Lilith was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at her friends on her left who were cautiously trying to stand up, "What about me too--?"
"Sit down." Lulu, Hannah, and Jaina said in unison.
A certain vice president wants to slack off again, but this time they will not be soft-hearted.
Lilith sat back down with a bitter smile, and continued to act as a mascot, wailing in her heart - when will Catherine come back? !
Ever since she got the magic broom, she has been elusive all day, running around between High Garden and Gloria. The student union can do without her, but it really can't do without her!!
----------
Happy New Year everyone. Yesterday was my monthly day off, so I didn’t even have time to send you my best wishes_(:3」∠)_
I really appreciate everyone's company along the way. I am the kind of author who really needs to receive feedback, and I basically read all the comments (don't ask me why I don't reply after reading them, we i people are just so introverted).
If it weren't for all your urging, likes and comments, I might have stopped writing long ago. Thank you so much. You are like angels to me. I won't say more. I think the best way for an author to thank readers is to write more. I will write!
I will keep writing no matter how bad it is! I will never give up! The world line is already closing, and it will definitely be finished this year! I will definitely give a complete story.
Once again, I wish you all a happy new year. I hope we can all become better people in 2025! Come on!
