Not a Witch

With the easy turning of her fingers, these crimson light particles condensed into several familiar villains, spinning in the air, interacting, running and joking with each other, it was the familiar people back then, Bumansha, Lily, Ye Ling, Vimiya, Lorraine, Aliena, Ladis, Niya.

"I should believe it now." Lorraine Hill showed a narrow smile. As a demon sequence, her mood will be more agile and brisk than usual.

"It's really Lorraine." Lily's eyes suddenly glowed, and she hugged her. This made Lorraine a little embarrassed, and felt that she shouldn't play tricks on this former companion.

"Well, it's me." Lorraine Hill hugged Lily, and then gently comforted this former companion.

"Huh, Lily still likes to cry." Ye Ling's voice quietly appeared in the room, and then the dragon lady also appeared from the illusion, looking at Lily who was crying in Lorraine Hill's arms with her hips akimbo.

"Well, the stupid night spirit is here too."

Lily raised her head, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar roommate beside her.In the academy, her best friends are Yeling and Alena.

"Here we come to see the idiot Lily." Ye Ling rolled his eyes and said pretending to be arrogant, and then suddenly shot out and grabbed Lily's waist.

"Giggle, let me down, it's so itchy." Lily struggled dumbfoundingly, and the two played for a while.

"After so many years, Lily is still about the same height as me." Yeling was a little happy comparing the heights of himself and Lily.

"It goes without saying about my height. Also, I'm wearing slippers now. If I put on my usual shoes, I'll definitely be taller than you." Lily responded as usual, puffing her cheeks and showing a little anger.

Although she has a child now, Lily herself is only in her 20s and has only been a queen for two years, so she still retains a lot of the innocent temperament of the past.

"Then if you want to say that, if I turn into a dragon and compete with you, wouldn't I crush you directly?" Ye Ling replied with his arms akimbo.

"I'm much stronger now than before. Even if Ai Luoyi came, I might not be able to hit me now, ha ha." Ye Ling patted his chest. When he graduated from the High Tower Academy, Ai Luo Yi, a loli dragon Dominated the list for a long time, quite a legacy of Xingliu.

Watching the interaction between these two little guys, Lorraine Hill felt that Lily's original sadness had also been diluted a lot.

That's great, luckily I brought Yeling here this time, otherwise, if I came to comfort Lily myself, it wouldn't have such a good effect.

Immediately, Lorraine Hill took out a temporarily made maple wand from behind, waved it casually, and the pages of books on the table flew up, kept closing, and neatly arranged on the side bookshelf, followed by a rich and colorful Dinner was on the table.In the middle of the table, a three-story maple tree cake exudes a colorful halo in the room. Small orange fruits are dotted among the trees made of chocolate, and a few lovely words are written on the cake below.

"Happy birthday, Lily."

Chapter 52 Candlelight Flickering

In the slightly dark room, candles were inserted on the small cake, and the warm light flickered, reflecting on Lily's face, and warm tears slowly rolled down.

"Why are you crying again, idiot Lily?"

"No, it's just that I miss the past." Lily wiped her tears and whispered.

"Okay, it's all right now."

"Then close your eyes and make a wish. In the past, you wanted to be a queen. This wish has been fulfilled. Do you have a new wish now?"

"Yes." Lily closed her eyes.

I don't want to be a queen anymore, I just want to have a simple and peaceful life.She chanted silently in her heart.

But this wish is too capricious. He has already enjoyed the glory and power of the queen, but now he wants to escape irresponsibly.So please allow me to bury this wish in my heart.

"What wish did you make, Lily?" Ye Ling asked curiously.

"No, it's nothing, a very simple and capricious wish." Lily shook her head.

"Oh, is it still a secret?" Ye Ling said disappointedly.

"Well, I'm no longer a child, and I can no longer express my wish as unscrupulously as before." Lily shook her head slightly.

"Why, why can't you say it." Ye Ling folded his hands in front of his chin.

"Because I realized that some wishes are bound to disappoint and hurt others." Lily said silently.

"It's so complicated, I can't understand it."

"Hehe, Ye Ling should just be Ye Ling, you don't need to know everything." Lily smiled through tears.

"Is that the case, don't worry about it, let's eat cake." Ye Ling suddenly stood up again.

"Knives and forks are ready." Lorraine Hill waved his fingers lightly, and several knives and forks made of magic crystals slowly fell down.

"I'll cut the cake." Lily said.

"Here." Lorraine Hill handed her a crystal knife.

Holding the slightly cold knife, Lily stared at the cake in the halo of the candle, and was stunned for a few seconds, then came back to her senses, pointed the knife at the part of her name, and cut it open, revealing the soft cake inside. Cake and cream.

Then he cut the piece, divided it into small pieces, and handed them to Lorraine and Yeling.

"Are you ready to eat?" Yeling held the cake eagerly, then looked back at Lorraine Hill.

"Let's go together."

"Ah."

Just like this, the three of them sat at the small table, eating cake, and talking about the past.

After Lorraine Hill and Bulmansha graduated, Lily stayed at the school for a few more years, during which time she sent away Ye Ling, Letis, Aliena, and Niya, and finally left school by herself.

"It's a pity that I didn't get into the fifth grade and got my graduation certificate." Lily said shyly.

"My talent is mediocre, and I don't work as hard as Niya, so I only entered the fourth grade in the end."

"After returning to my hometown, I helped clean up a few weak monsters in the family's territory, and then lived a leisurely life. Because I am the youngest among my brothers and sisters, my parents don't ask too much, and there are several older brothers and sisters. we take care of."

"So those days were very happy, and I went to the south to play with Aliena, but unfortunately I came back after the war." Lily's eyes showed a touch of nostalgia.

"After that, I met His Majesty the Emperor in the middle of the banquet at Baska's house."

"At first, I thought he was also a young man from a small noble family, because he looked really young, and he didn't have much style. At that time, I wanted to kick him."

"Who would have thought that he would confess to me later, which shocked me. Because in the empire, many people respect and fear the emperor." Lily shook her head slightly, then lowered her head and ate the cake.

"However, that's all in the past."

"Two years were like a dream, now there is only cold reality." Her voice became low again.

"Huh, Lily." Ye Ling also came over at this time, holding Lily's head, comforting her.

The two whispered a lot of whispers before slowly separating.

"Do you have any plans and ideas in the future?" Lorraine Hill also walked over.

"In the future, who can say for sure what will happen in the future." Lily smiled wryly.

"Now it feels precarious. The center of power is just like the eye of the storm. There are intrigues and killings everywhere."

"In fairy tales, it is always said that the prince and princess are together and live a happy life."

"But few people think about what happened later. Will this prince be able to inherit the throne? Moreover, even if he inherits the throne, will he be able to do well?"

"A king who cannot bring prosperity and victory will only be abandoned and cast aside, and a cruel and cruel king will be forgiven for all his sins as long as he can make the country continue to win."

"Everyone attributes their weakness and inadequacy to the king's failure because the king brought misfortune to the country, but in fact, when a person sits in that position, he will no longer be himself, but more complex existence."

Lily slowly talked about her personal feelings over the years. Although she seldom participated in the decision-making of the empire, she also understood and saw the truth behind many things under the influence of Amanke.

If the Seven Snow Kingdoms were not attacked, the grievances and contradictions accumulated within the empire for many years would have reached a precarious point. It was also because of the assistance of this grievance and dissatisfaction that Amanke was able to obtain the support of the military and launch a coup to ascend to the throne.

If the Ansair brothers are allowed to ascend the throne and continue to remain the same, the resentment that has nowhere to vent will burst out, and rebellion and uprising will break out within the empire.

Other aristocrats in the empire did not understand the ideas promoted by Clancia when it was founded, but Aymank knew very well how attractive such thoughts were to the people at the bottom.He even talked with Lily that if it was a few years later, when this trend of thought spread, even if there were no foreign enemies, the empire itself would be divided.

"All I can do is to drive this chariot and put out the burning flames. Either it will be flattened and the empire will continue and unify the mainland, or it will fail and the chariot of the empire will be torn apart."

"Then there is no other way?" Lily once asked him.

"No, Lily. If you read the works of the sage, you will know that all issues were settled a long time ago. This is an irreconcilable contradiction."

"The opponent's existence seems to be to prove his own mistakes. If Crancia gradually becomes rich and powerful, then doubts will gradually rise within the empire, whether it is because of our system and various irrationality that it has created weakness and backwardness. "

"And if the empire defeats Clancia, then the people of Clancia will have to admit that noble blood is indeed more important than anything else, and the glorious aristocratic system is effective."

"So the two sides will go to war sooner or later, and I just started this war in advance when the empire was strong."

"This is not necessarily a bad thing. If the empire wins and obtains vast land and wealth, the internal problems of the empire will be greatly alleviated, and there will be at least 200 years of prosperity and peace." He said to Lily.

"And after that?"

"In the future? Let the people in the future figure out how to do it. There is no absolutely perfect system in the world. They always adapt slowly, or continue to change it when they have no other way." Amanke patted Lily's forehead at that time, and replied like this .

In the dimly lit room, Lily narrated some things she had heard in the past two years.

"I can't change his mind, and he can't change the trend of this era." Lily sighed.

"Now that he's gone, I can only guard my child and hope that he can grow up safely, and it's best to stay away from the throne."

"But this kind of thinking is still a bit naive. I have become more and more aware of this recently."

"In the struggle for power, there is no way out."

"I'm a little sad, Lily." Ye Ling was also worried about Lily in a low voice.

"When it comes to future plans, I hope to take my child and retreat from this position safely. I'm not good at sitting in this position, and I'm not cruel enough or decisive enough."

"But this kind of thing is very difficult, because it is too sensitive, and if it is not serious, it will cause a huge shock in the country." Lorraine Hill slowly got up, looking at the bright lights of thousands of houses outside the window, these people on both sides of the street The pavilions are arranged along the street, gorgeous and neat, and the tops of many houses are still shining with the fluorescence of alchemy creations.

"Yes, I realize that too." Lily took a deep breath.

"I am no longer a child, and I can no longer be as willful as I used to be. Although due to an accident, I sat in this position."

"But no matter how you say it, since you're here, you can't throw away your responsibilities at will."

"Even if you encounter assassination again at any time and have to be ruthless to get rid of those who hinder you, can you still keep going?" Lorraine Hill looked back, his pure eyes were like warm ruby.

"I think, I can learn to do it." Lily closed her eyes.

"How are you going to clean up the situation left by Amanke? Now in the empire, I heard that many people are turning to Edron."

"Whether to fully delegate power to him, or struggle to retain part of his own power."

"Then let's struggle a bit. Although it's a bit stupid, it still has a sense of hope and security." Lily said with a embarrassed smile.

"Hey, that's right, Lily."

"And then, what are you going to do?" Lorraine Hill asked again.

"I am ready to comfort the families who have lost loved ones in the war."

"Not to mention that this requires a lot of money, and some of the money may not be in their hands." Lorraine Hill tilted his head.

"This..." Lily bit her lip.

"I..." She lowered her head suddenly.
