Not a Witch

"Actually, I don't understand anything, and I don't know how to restore everything that Amanke left behind." A few tears fell to the ground.

"Don't be sad, you will always find your way to the future slowly. Also, aren't we here to see you?" Lorraine Hill touched Lily.

"If you want to solve various problems within the empire, you can't do it alone, or even the current system." Lorraine Hill said slowly while hugging Lily.

"So, you don't have to put such a big burden on yourself."

"Although it is shameful to escape, it is not impossible. There are always some things that people cannot face. It is better to escape and live than to die in sorrow."

"Before that, you just have to do your best."

"Look for trustworthy people, take part of the money, find people with good reputation and reputation in the local area, build some orphanages, try to raise the children who have lost their families, and place those injured and disabled due to war around the orphanages, so that both It can play a certain role in helping and protecting, and it can also conveniently organize everyone to do some manual work to support themselves."

"In this way, even if the empire is no longer in the future, they can continue without suddenly collapsing."

"You can't give them their daily bread, but at least you can give them the ability to earn their daily bread money."

"There are more things that you can't solve alone. It takes an entire era and the struggle of countless people to change all of this." Lorraine Hill hugged Lily and helped her analyze it carefully.

"Don't push yourself into a corner, Lily. Although what I said seems to be very simple and little, in fact, it is not easy to really achieve these two points. At that time, you can leave this position with peace of mind and return to the A peaceful place to spend the rest of your life.”

"But... I still feel very sorry for many people." Lily recalled that year in the Imperial Capital Square, the couple who married each other under the witness of her and Ai Manke.

"Yes, because you are the queen of the empire, you are destined to bear the corresponding crimes."

"However, if you fall here, you will have no chance of redemption. And you will give power to those who are more lustful."

"It's better to do 10 things right after doing 100 things wrong than to never take a step forward."

"Do you want to be a morally perfect person? Pursuing a life without sin and fault is not the way to happiness, it will only make you miserable."

"So, be firm, since you have already taken the wrong path ahead, then turn around in time and take the next path well."

Lorraine Hill recalled what Sister Sander had said to comfort her in the past, but she didn't expect that she would tell another person today.And this is not telling yourself.

Although she now bears two crowns and has the ability to determine the future, she has always restrained her many thoughts.

Because I am afraid of going the wrong way, which will bring pain and misfortune to everyone.

Obviously seeing all kinds of problems, all kinds of corruption and misfortune within the empire, but still unwilling to overthrow it, and luckily looking for a peaceful improvement method.

If one day, she is like Lily, because she did something wrong and caused pain to many people, can she face herself like this calmly, can she accept herself who made a mistake calmly?

Having a sensitive body and mind will make people easily sympathetic and kind, but this kindness sometimes forms an invisible bondage to restrain many of my thoughts, even if reason tells her that this is indeed right.

Perhaps, I have to be stronger and firmer, even if I am accused, abused, misunderstood and doubted, I still have to stick to the right path.

People understand because of their similarities, but when an individual exists longer and longer, her views and views on the whole world will gradually change, and finally become out of tune with the world.

Perhaps this is also the reason why witches have peculiar personalities.

I hope that even if I spend a long time, I can still maintain a little understanding and sympathy for ordinary people, and not become that kind of cold-blooded and cold witch.

Lorraine Hill comforted Lily, staring blankly at the candlelight, and his thoughts drifted to the endless distance.

I'm just Lorraine Hill, not a witch.

Chapter 53 Court Council

In the dimly lit room, the cakes and pastries on the table had been cleaned up, and the three of them stood by the window saying goodbye.

"Let's go, Lily." Lorraine Hill looked at the girl in front of him. Although she was a queen, she was still so weak, which made people feel pity.

"Well, goodbye, Lorraine, and Ye Ling." At this moment, Lily's mood was much more stable, and she tried her best to smile.

"Live well, Lily." Ye Ling also waved at this moment.

"I will." She took a deep breath.

"Then see you next time."

After speaking, Lorraine Hill held Yeling's hand, and the two of them slowly floated up like ripples, then became illusory, and then disappeared into the room.With the help of the power of the Moon Crown, Lorraine Hill can suppress the fluctuation of space movement to the minimum, even to the point of being undetectable, and there is no existence above Sequence 8 in the palace at present, so it is not difficult to hide it.

After the two disappeared, Lily was the only one left in the room. She continued to sit for a while, dazed for a while, and touched her cheek to confirm that what happened just now was not a dream.

After a long time, she put on her coat, walked out of the room, and saw two loyal maids still guarding outside.

"Let's go back, it's time to rest."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

------

After leaving the palace, Lorraine Hill and Ye Ling followed the convoy all the way south, towards the border of the empire.At present, the south has just been pacified. Although there is some martial law, but fortunately, the law and order are not bad, and there is no special situation on the road.Perhaps this is also related to the badge given by Earl Howard's daughter. As a well-known nobleman in the imperial capital, his face is still very useful.

After quelling the rebellion in the south, Prince Edlund returned to the imperial capital again, and as regent, he will deal with many backlogs in the empire.And after he arrives in Titania, everything will change.

At the court meeting.

The luxurious hall decorated in gold and red is now full of various nobles in the empire. Most of them have real power, some are wearing luxurious dresses, some are in military uniforms, and some are in priestly robes. They were born in the church.

"His Royal Highness Prince Edlon arrives ~ Her Majesty the Queen arrives~"

The loud shouts of the court servants made the hall quickly quiet, and everyone lined up on both sides, looking at the entrance of the hall respectfully.

Edron, who was wearing a tall and straight golden-red military uniform, and the red queen Lily Esther, who was wearing a floral dress, walked on the carpet together, marched side by side, entered the hall, and then sat on the two thrones in the middle.

The queen's throne is slightly backward and higher, symbolizing the current legal order within the empire.

Lily, who was holding the little prince in her arms, looked at the unfamiliar faces below, and her figure was a little nervous. She took a deep breath secretly, adjusted her state, and then slightly raised her right hand to signal the start of the meeting.

"Your Majesty the Queen, Long Live Your Highness the Prince." Many nobles bowed to salute, then raised their bodies and stood quietly.

"Everyone has any matters today, you can go forward and report for discussion." The court minister stepped forward and stood in front of the two majesties and said to the people below.

"My lord, your loyal subject has something to report."

A nobleman with short dark blue hair came out. He was tall and thin, with a gray-blue bird badge pinned to his chest. He seemed to be a vassal from the north of the empire.

"Master Evans, please speak."

"The fief where I live has suffered from heavy snow this year, many fields have lost their harvest, and it is difficult to hunt in the mountains and forests, and there is a lack of food in the cellar. I pray for your majesty to give me some help."

He described the tragic situation brought about by the snow disaster with eloquence, which made many people in the hall feel sympathetic.After he finished speaking, everyone also turned their attention to the queen and the regent.

Lily was a little uncertain for a while, but it was not good to wait forever, as this would expose her weakness and helplessness, so she asked, "What help does Viscount Evans want?"

"This... I am satisfied just praying for some food."

"Can you tell me the specific number of residents in the fief?" Although Lily looked petite, her math scores in the academy were not bad.

"This, it's about 20 households." Evans hesitated for a while, and said the data.

Are there so many, Lily wondered inwardly.At this moment, if she agrees easily, will it appear that she is weak and easy to bully, but if she refuses to agree, will it appear that she is mean?And if there is a snow disaster, those people will be very sad.

If the food was to be allocated, at least 800 million kilograms would be needed, which was not a small amount. If the other party was deceiving her, how would she tell the difference, she thought quickly in her heart.But in front of the officials, he couldn't pause and hesitate for too long at this time.

After a pause for a few seconds, Lily asked again.

"Lord Evans, how much food do you need for emergency?" She decided to throw this question to the other party.

"About 1500 million kilograms of grain." Viscount Evans said in a sad manner.

"If that's the case... then..." Lily bit her lip, and after hesitating for a while, she decided to allocate food. After all, the people in the empire couldn't be left to freeze and starve in winter.

"Ahem...His Majesty, please slow down." Edron finally spoke at this moment, and he nodded briefly to Lily who was not far away from him.

"May I ask Lord Evans a few questions?"

"Your Highness, please ask."

"Excuse me, has Lord Evans never stored food in the past? As a lord, it is hard to imagine that you have never considered the impact of cold disasters in the cold northern fief .”

"In addition, you said that there are nearly 20 households in the fief, so the previous tax was paid on the basis of 20 households?"

"During the imperial expedition, how many people came out of your fief?"

"I remember that the empire has a certain pension for the families of the soldiers who died every year. This is directly allocated to the local lord and then distributed. If there is this part, it should also alleviate some of the situation."

"This..." Evans lowered his head and was speechless for a while, and sweat began to emerge from his forehead.

"Let the tax department submit the previous year's tax returns." Seeing this, Edron waved his hand and told the servants around him to act.

"Yes, Your Highness." Immediately, several people walked quickly to the outside of the hall.

"No need, Your Highness. I was nervous just now and said the wrong data. In fact, only 10 households have been affected by the disaster in the fief..." He quickly and nervously defended.

"Very well, an honest nobleman is worthy of praise." Edron let go of this lightly, and those attendants who were about to go out to collect tax forms also paused.

"I suggest to Her Majesty the Queen that 300 million kilograms of grain be distributed to the territory of Earl Evans, escorted by the direct army, and distributed records by households, so as to ensure justice."

"Then follow His Highness Edron's method." At this point, Lily also calmed down a little.

Looking at the two people in the middle of the hall, the nobles below were discussing secretly in their hearts.

The situation was a little different from what was expected. His Royal Highness Edron didn't seem to want to attack the Red Queen, but rather defended her.Could it be that he is really content with this position and doesn't want to ascend to the throne?

For a while, an undercurrent surged, and the subsequent nobles did not dare to test it easily. As a result, today's palace meeting passed slowly in a calm manner.

Chapter 54 The Church of Song of the Falling Star

After staying away from the prosperous center of the empire, Lorraine Hill and Yeling headed west all the way, and finally boarded a ship at the southern port of the empire, and took a boat to the port of Clancia.

Half a month later, Crancia Liuli Province returned to Fenggang.

In the noisy harbor where the white gulls circled, one after another sailboats from afar stopped here, and there were also a few smoking ironclad ships, carrying the roar of machinery.They stopped again to replenish food, water and fuel, or to trade.This is a newly built port city in recent years. Although it has not been a long time, it is very lively and full of vitality.

Carrying a light rattan wooden box, a girl with black hair and white skirt slowly walked down the escalator. In front of her was a girl in a blue and white dress, but she was a little petite.

"Be careful, Night Spirits."

Facing the sea breeze blowing slowly, Lorraine Hill held down the brim of his hat and reminded him softly.

"Got it~" Ye Ling opened his arms, jumped down the stairs briskly, and then landed in front of the stone bricks of the pier.

"Is this Clancia? It seems to be not much different from the Empire, but it looks more prosperous."

Ye Ling, who came to the new environment, was a little excited, and his steps were much lighter, looking at the surrounding scenery and the pedestrians on the street.

"It may not be obvious here, but if you go west, there will be more changes." The girl shook her head slightly, stood still at the pier, looked at the surrounding scene, and showed a somewhat gratified expression.

The streets are very tidy, and the expressions on people's faces are also very energetic, unlike the southern part of the empire, where many people are slightly numb.She took a deep breath, and then continued walking towards the city center with the Eidolon.

In the middle of the bustling street in the city, a pure white statue stands in it, surrounded by circular flower beds.
