Not a Witch

"Yes, it's very difficult." Rosatina smiled.

"My family is not rich. If you are going to school, the school has subsidies, which is not bad. But if you want to obtain some rare raw materials and resources, it is not easy."

"'Black Water Lily' has integrated the former 'True Red Rose', and is now the most powerful club among the students in the Walled City. It receives sponsorship from all parties every year, and has a lot of resources, including some new experimental instruments and ingredients. This club is the only one. Only then."

"I remember there is one in the college too. Emenas is very rich." Little Bear talked about the scene he saw in the past, when Lorraine often borrowed some instruments and facilities from the college.

"Yes, but there are too many applicants, and there are always not enough. I'm not a great genius, and I can always succeed in one step." As she spoke, Rosatina rubbed the little bear. She wished she could spend the whole day in the library and In the laboratory, knowledge is greedily absorbed and practiced and verified.When that kind of book knowledge is turned into reality, there will be an inexplicable sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, and then let her continue to look for the same and similar things, and never tire of it.And this kind of behavior naturally far exceeded the limit of daily student use, so even the laboratory of the college could not satisfy her.

"Also, I heard that the students of the 'Black Water Lily' club will get preferential treatment in their jobs after graduation." Rosatina said the news she heard recently.

"Did you know that Her Majesty the Empress of the Canghong Empire was once a graduate of the 'Black Water Lily' club."

"Is there another one?" The puppet bear Albert thought, maybe it was someone he didn't know during his sleep. After all, it has been more than ten years since Lorraine founded the club.

"Well, it is said that it is still a member of the first generation, Her Majesty Lily Esther."

"Hey, wait, you said it was Lily?" Albert recalled the past, he was rarely carried to the Walled City Academy by Lorraine, but the few times he came here, he also knew the situation of the girl Lily.

Although it is a bit cute, it is not outstanding. Compared with other talented members in the club, such as Lorraine, Bumansha, Vimiya, etc., this one has almost no characteristics except for being a little lazy and cute.

"Do you know Mr. Albert?" Rosatina asked curiously.

"I think if she is really a member of the first generation, I probably do know her. Why don't you tell me about the Queen's situation." Albert sat in the arms of Rosatina, who was usually proud The incomparable Muppet Bear also hesitated at this moment.

"Her Majesty Lily Esther was born in the southern border of the empire, she is the daughter of a certain minor nobleman, because she was not valued when she was a child, she has always lived a relaxed life..." Rosatina said what everyone knows now information.

"Okay, okay, I'm sure, it's that Lily." Albert said there was no need to say any more.

It's unbelievable, the little bear thought to himself, it has gradually stepped into human society, and naturally knows how powerful and powerful the status of the queen of the empire symbolizes.What's more, now that the emperor is away, the empress's power will only become more prominent.

"What about other people, have you heard of them, such as Bulmansha, Vimiya, Ye Ling, or a girl named Lorraine." Albert asked tentatively.

"This, it seems that I have never heard of it."

"Is that so, what about Ladis, Aliena, Niya, and Kafra?"

"Ledis seems to have heard that she is Crancia's clothing and alchemist master. Alena seems to have heard of it somewhere, but she can't remember. As for Mrs. Kafra, I know this. She is the vice president of the Imperial Royal Academy. Dean, very famous."

"Because I thought at the time that if I couldn't get into Emenas, I would try my best to go to the Royal Academy, so I inquired a lot about this."

"Unexpectedly, this person has become a powerful big shot." The puppet bear thought of the serious girl who sat in the corner and focused on her studies before, but did she change so much?

"So, did Mr. Albert stay in the 'Black Water Lily' club a long time ago?" Rosatina looked at the puppet bear on her lap and asked in a low voice.

"Of course, but in that era, there was someone in Emenas who defeated all the associations and won the most difficult championship among the 'Ten Crowns'."

"That era?" Rosatina recalled.

"That was when General Darcy was still in the Academy."

"Yes."

"Who is that? Why haven't I heard anyone say it before?"

"It's probably because you don't go to the Temple Academy less. If you go there and ask the teachers of the academy, the graduates who impressed you the most in the past ten years."

"They'll definitely say that name."

"'Pure White Nun Under the Stained Window' Rosier."

Chapter One Hundred and Nine

It was already the end of November, and the Rose Palace was decorated with frozen green branches and leaves, and the top of the courtyard was covered with snow. The garden that used to compete for beauty was now white, and the sound of water dripping from the eaves could be heard from time to time.

Lily is sitting in the study at the moment, and there is a brazier next to it, emitting warm red heat.Although there are magic circles and facilities to maintain temperature in the palace, she is still used to such flames, which makes people feel a little warmth, instead of facing the cold and unchanging decoration around her.

Putting an orange next to the brazier, Lily gently rocked the cradle beside her, seeing her child still sleeping in it, felt a lot of happiness in her heart.I remember that she was like this when she was a child, sitting around the fire with her family, talking about the happy things that happened to them.

Although they came from aristocratic background, Lily's family is not that kind of big noble, but an ordinary family of small nobles. The family's fief is only a small piece of land, which can only raise two knights.And the most valuable among them is the vineyard on the plain at the foot of the mountain.

Relying on the brewed wine, the family can get a stable income every year, and on the day of the winter festival, the father will also buy various gifts for his brothers and sisters.

Compared with those constrained big family ladies, Lily's life was much easier when she was a child, because she was the youngest and was taken care of by several older brothers and sisters. She did not bear any high expectations and heavy responsibilities.

In his father's words, as long as she grows up healthy and gets married, it's fine.

There are a few older brothers in the family business, and some family relationships are maintained or established. Her older sisters have already completed it, and they are all doing well, so there is nothing to worry about.When she was a child, she often visited the homes of several brothers-in-law, playing around and seeing the scenery, which broadened her horizons a lot.

As a result, Lily is neither eager for power and status like the children of the endangered nobles, nor is she full of fantasies and high expectations of the outside world like those young ladies who have been in the boudoir for a long time.

Well, anyway, it’s not too much to pursue. Lily has been living a life like a salted fish. She doesn’t have too high expectations and is very satisfied.

It's a pity that the development of reality is too fast. During the two or three years of her marriage with Aimanke, she often woke up from her dreams and wondered if everything was true.

I am just the daughter of a small rural nobleman in the southern part of the empire. Why did I suddenly become the highest-ranking empress of the empire? What happened in all of this?

Sitting next to the quietly burning brazier, Lily rocked the sleeping basket, her eyes followed the flames, thinking about the figures of the past.

"Your Majesty, Sir Severai is here." A maid in the study reminded softly in the Queen's ear.

"Well, let him come in." Lily straightened the folds of her clothes a little, then sat on the wooden chair beside the brazier and waited.

After a while, the maid gently opened the door, and then a man in military boots came to the door, first saluted, and then slowed down his voice and introduced himself after seeing the queen and the cradle in the room.

"Your Majesty and Your Royal Highness are well. I am the commander of the 56th Legion of the Empire, Severai. It is a great honor to meet you."

"Come in, Junior Severl." Lily smiled, then waved.

Then the officer came into the room, he was a little restrained for a while, he didn't know whether to stand or sit, even though the maid had already placed the chair thoughtfully.

"Let's just sit down, so I'll be tired when I raise my head and talk to you." Lily looked at Severy, soothing her.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The legion commander sat down excitedly.

"I called you here while I was busy, and I don't know if it will disturb your work." Lily asked the maid to bring hot tea to the officer.

"Thank you, I was not disturbed, but very honored." He took the teacup and carefully placed it on the coffee table in front of him.

Severai once studied in Emenas and was also a student of the Walled City College. After Lorraine and Bumansha graduated successively in the past, Lily, the elder of the society, served as the president for a short period of two years.

Although she feels that she is far inferior to Lorraine and Bumansha, but fortunately the foundation of the society has been laid, and she only needs to maintain it simply.And this Severy junior was the rookie genius of the Walled City Academy in those two years, and won No.3 in the Winter Festival Gala.

"I'm very grateful to Senior Sister Lily, who accepted me into the club and gave me a lot of help." Sifley recalled the past and said with emotion. Although he was a genius, he started too late, and his status was low. In the Walled City Academy where there are many aristocrats, they have always been marginal figures.

It wasn't until later that he entered the 'Black Water Lily' club. Since then, he was recognized by many students in the same college, and gained rare experience exchanges, discussions, assistance with extraordinary potions, etc. During those two years, his strength grew rapidly. She became famous at the Winter Festival Gala.

Although some senior students have a mediocre attitude towards Lily, the president, in his heart, this senior has always been a person worthy of respect.

"It's all in the past, and it's also inseparable from your own efforts." Lily shook her head and said what Lorraine had said to the club members.She had little experience at that time, and many methods and words were imitated from the notes left by Lorraine.

"Actually, I called you this time because I hope to get your help." Lily said slowly.

"I am willing to go through fire and water for Her Majesty the Queen." Hearing this, Severly stood up at attention, because the sound was too loud, and the child in the cradle was also woken up.

"Hey, it's okay." Lily comforted her child in a low voice, and then gestured for Severy to sit down first.

"Actually, it is indeed a dangerous and arduous task." Seeing that the child had stabilized, Lily asked the maid on the side to continue rocking the cradle, and then turned around to talk to Severy.

"Because the current situation has changed a lot, I need a group of loyal people to defend the Rose Palace."

"Don't rush to agree, I want to tell you that you may face many dangers in this task, and sometimes I may implicate you because of my identity." Lily explained in advance.

"I understand." Severy nodded calmly at this time. He is not a hot-blooded young man. After undergoing military training, he is naturally keenly aware of the changes in the empire today.

When the emperor was still alive, the only object of allegiance of the legion was the emperor Aimanke, but after the death of His Majesty Aimank, this faced a big problem, the prince was too young, and there were more than ten years before he could inherit the throne Years, and at this time, should he be loyal to the weak queen, or obey the orders of the regent, another highness who should have sat on the throne.

The Prince Regent is undoubtedly stronger and more reliable than Her Majesty the Queen, but people are different.He graduated from Emenas and was once a member of the 'Black Water Lily' club, so he was naturally labeled as Queen Lily.

Instead of avoiding the label of being inhuman, it is better to embrace this identity and become a loyal partisan of Her Majesty the Queen.

There are not so many options to choose from in the world, and Severy has undoubtedly embarked on the only path available, and he will also try his best to protect the queen and prince so that they can truly become the rulers of the empire, and he himself will In this process, reach the pinnacle of life.

"If that's the case, then I'm at ease." Looking at the legion commander who had sworn allegiance in front of her, Lily pressed her fingers on her chest to express her relief.

"Before the end of the year, you and your legion will be transferred to the vicinity of Titania, and then I will trouble you."

"The star of the Empire's army, Lord Sifry, the 'Singing Blood Front'."

After that, this extraordinary man of Demon Sequence 7, which is rare in the empire, slowly retreated.

Chapter 110 The Dinner Party in the Castle

A small town in the southern border of the empire.

Because she was about to leave, Lorraine Hill went to the market in the city to buy some things for the road. When she came back, Miss Charlene found her.

"Mesia, today I received an invitation card to invite you." She handed over a piece of dark red thick paper, in which the invitation was written in black cursive script, and the flame of the Moruo family was stamped on the side. Print, looks very beautiful.

"Viscount Morrow will hold a banquet in the castle tonight, and he has invited many people. Besides you, there are also several experts in the city, and it is said that several military officers will also attend the banquet."

"I'm not too sure what Viscount Moruo is thinking. Why is there a banquet at this time, and so many unfamiliar people are invited."

After receiving the invitation, Lorraine Hill opened it and looked at it.

[In order to celebrate the harvest and peace in the territory this year, a dinner will be held in the castle on the evening of November 11th,

Sincerely invite the heroic adventurer, Miss Mesia, to the banquet I convened.

...

]

It seems that it is just to celebrate the harvest according to the past practice, but now is an extraordinary period, with so many things happening in the territory recently, it is hard to imagine the real purpose of Viscount Moruo holding the banquet.

Lorraine Hill hesitated a little, but nodded.

"Well, I know, I will go then." With her strength, she is not afraid of any accidents. In the current empire, except for witches or some special existences, few people can pose a threat to her.

Instead of leaving like this, it's better to see what the viscount is paying attention to. In addition, she also wants to get in touch with the new army of the empire.

After the war with Clancia, based on the experience gained during the war, the imperial family reorganized the army, in which the previous numbers of the 54th Legion were all canceled, and then the 54th Legion to the 75th Legion were newly established, a total of 22 legions .

These regiments were different from the past. They began to be equipped with muskets, cannons, and no longer used full-coverage armor, but instead changed to light armor with key protection.In this way, the load is smaller, the movement is flexible, and the cost can also be reduced.

In addition, among the 22 legions, the 56th, 71st, and 75th legions are quite special. They are all composed of elite soldiers, and the soldiers among them are at least sequence 2. They are the core strength of the imperial family today.The legion commanders leading these three legions are also rare Sequence 7 existences, and they are called the "Three Sharp Swords" of the empire. This is to replace the highly prestigious "Three Marshals" of the old aristocratic period.

(There is no need to memorize these data deliberately, it will be explained later.)

Now, in order to further highlight the reputation of these three legions, the royal family has begun to consider giving new titles instead of simple numbers.

The sergeants in red that Lorraine Hill saw on the square the day before yesterday were from the 71st Legion. Although it was only one of the squads, they still showed considerable strength.

Let's go and have a look. Speaking of which, she is also curious about what Viscount Moruo lost, and why the military would send an elite team to this small town.
