Little Tyrant Doesn't Want to Meet with a Bad End

"I understand."

After a slight nod, the court nobles who conveyed the message left humbly. Lilian looked at the depths of the palace, her purple eyes slightly narrowed.

It is not uncommon for princes and princesses to meet the emperor on the day of the founding of the country, but in any past year, Lucas summoned everyone at once. In other words, it seems too troublesome to meet with the children one by one, but today, Lilian actually received the order to meet in advance.

For the girl who knew the emperor well, this was not a special treatment, but a warning sign. Lucas could not see her alone because of some family affection, but only for one reason.

The test, and whether she can pass the test determines the girl's future.

In the noisy banquet hall, Lilian turned her head and glanced at the two elder brothers in the distance, before turning her head and heading towards the depths of the palace.

-------------------------------------------------- ---

In the peaceful and quiet corridor, Lilian Aqiman strolled forward. The girl's face was unmoved, but her brain was quickly thinking about various possible situations and preparing strategies to deal with them.

Emperor Lucas, as the emperor who ruled the empire for decades, is by no means someone who can easily fool the past, but now Lilian obviously cannot make mistakes.

On the road leading to the inner court, the guards along the way stood silently on both sides like armored sculptures. The rubies in the eyes of the double-headed eagles of the Aqiman family on the solemn gate were shining. After the announcement, the black-haired girl walked in and opened the door. Inside the gate, I also saw the only ruler of this huge empire.

Lucas Archman was sitting on the throne representing the emperor at this time, waiting for her arrival.

But the rulers of all powerful countries are generally powerful extraordinary people, and Lucas Achiman is no exception, but unlike other countries, Lucas did not show his old age, this black man The man with purple pupils has fair skin, a well-proportioned body, and a delicate face. His slender eyes are bright and energetic, and he doesn't even have a beard on his mouth.

A well-maintained middle-aged man, this is probably the limit that people who see him can think of, but different from this appearance, Lucas's temperament is similar to Lilian's, with a kind of deep-seated Indifference, this special feeling is mixed with the majesty of the emperor, so that no one standing in front of him dares to speak freely.

After seeing Lucas, the black-haired girl leaned over to salute, without any change in attitude, nor did she adjust the expression on her face at all, because Lilian knew that any flattery was a waste of effort in front of the emperor of the empire, Concise and clear dialogue is more in line with Lucas' preferences.

"Father, I heard that you have something to summon?"

"Well, there are a few things I want to ask you."

After exchanging pleasantries, Lilian was the first to ask questions, pointing directly at the core of tonight's meeting. The man who heard this was not unhappy, but calmly asked questions.

"I heard about the Challenger Cup this time. Your failure exceeded my expectations, and it also caused some doubts among the nobles. You should know that this is not good for you."

"Yes, Father, the matter of the Challenger Cup is also my regret. Those nobles questioned me, and I will resolve it little by little in the future."

"Your failure really needs to deal with the aftermath, but that's not what I care about... Lilian, what do you think of the boy from the Akat family who won the championship?"

Sure enough, is it over there?

The unexpected question came to the girl's ears, which made Lilian instantly vigilant. After thinking for a while, the girl asked:

"...you mean evaluation?"

"good."

Lucas nodded in response to Lilian's plain question, and the girl said calmly:

"I think he's a pretty talented guy."

"Really? Quite talented? It is indeed a pertinent evaluation. Then Lilian, answer me a question...Why did you let Roya Akat participate?"

"!"

The moment His Majesty's majestic voice uttered this question lightly, the purple pupils of the black-haired girl who lowered her head slightly shrank suddenly, and she immediately discovered her flaws, while the man in front of her stared at her like needles. on the girl's body, and continued to speak:

"Although your failure in the Challenger Cup this time was not because of him, in fact a series of changes were all caused by him. Leaving aside the daughter of the Componette family, even he himself is very important to you. A threat?"

"For you who fight as an army, the explosive power of that boy's single-point breakthrough should be the most difficult thing. You who are the same mentor should also know him well. Although the situation of the first-year competition was unexpected, but using The forces of the Austin Empire can veto it in advance before the decision is made."

"So I'm wondering, Lilian, look up and tell me...why are you so defenseless against him?"

The black-haired man asked the question in a flat but confident tone, as if what he said was the truth, and under the emperor's order, the black-haired girl also slowly raised her head. Lilian's face remained unchanged at this time, but her heart The ups and downs are unprecedentedly violent.

Why didn't Roja be prevented from competing in advance? The answer to this question is very simple, because the girl doesn't regard Roja as an enemy at all. Compared with herself, Lilian hopes that the boy can win the championship, but this reason is It must not be known by Lucas.

It is His Majesty's ban that he cannot have contact with the members of the Acate family. It represents Lucas' vigilance and resistance to that family. Violation is a blatant resistance. Lilian has a hunch that if the next answer is not If Lucas is satisfied, then her situation may take a turn for the worse, and if she loses the emperor's support in the political struggle, there is often only one ending.

In the cold that seemed to freeze her blood, Lilian urgently thought about a suitable answer.

Answers such as forgetfulness and carelessness are absolutely not acceptable. The prestige brought by the Champion of the Challenger Cup is huge. Normally, Lilian will definitely do her best to ensure the victory.

It doesn't work if you don't know Roja's true strength. After all, in terms of the girl's behavior, if you really treat Roja as an enemy, you will never give any chance.

The girl's brain was running rapidly, while the eyesight of the black-haired man on the other side became sharper with time. Time passed little by little, until the moment before Lucas was about to make a judgment, Lilian finally spoke.

"What happened this time was caused by my emotions."

"Sentimental?"

When the majestic emperor heard this word, his face changed slightly, and his gaze on the girl became even colder. However, the next moment, he heard an unexpected name.

"Paul Archman, this proposal for the first-year competition was facilitated by him, so I didn't stop it, which resulted in unexpected consequences."

"Paul?"

"Yes, although he is an illegitimate child, I think he is a rare and upright person, and he has the characteristics that are rarely seen in our family. He has respect and affection for me, and I also recognize him. This Challenger Cup It was a rare opportunity for him, so I didn't deny it."

"..."

The black-haired girl replied like this, and Lucas fell silent after hearing the words. Looking at His Majesty the Emperor who was slightly surprised, but his eyes did not relax at all, Lilian understood that her words had an effect, but there were still some shortcomings.

After thinking for a moment, Lilian gently stroked her chest with her hand, and a boy with black hair and golden pupils appeared in her mind, and said again:

"Father, I know this is not in line with my usual style, but I can't control my heart. The moment I learned of his identity, my heart surged with a desire to protect. I can't bear any harm to him, and I can't refuse him." His request, I don't know what's wrong with me, if you think I'm guilty, then please punish me."

As the black-haired girl said so, bewilderment appeared in her amethyst-like pupils for the first time, and distress appeared on her almost expressionless face. Seeing Lilian like this, even Lucas couldn't help showing The surprised expression and suspicious eyes slowly loosened.
