what!

Licia woke up from the dream, and the quilt was kicked away by her.

She curled up in the wound, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she wiped the sweat from her forehead.

What the father said at that time, I can't recall now.

Or maybe I just don't want to recall it anymore.

"Heh, heh heh."

Licia let out a deep laugh: "Hahaha."

When she was in trouble, she always used laughter to escape, because it was easy to do so.

In order not to be hated by others, but also in order not to be disgusted by others.

Because if you don't smile, you will be overwhelmed by anxiety, so she can only smile.

I have always lived such a life, but today Li Le woke me up.

The king should help his own people. If he wants to fulfill this teaching, he cannot turn a blind eye to the misery below.

People who have lost their shelter and food must never leave their lives alone.

But the figure of Balut emerged in his mind. He has been taking care of himself since he was very young.

But now he wants to turn against Barut.

Questioned Barut's behavior and confronted him head-on.

Can she do it herself? Her body trembled involuntarily.

"Ha ha."

Her face began to twist, and if she was in front of Barut, she would definitely use a smile to cover it up again.

However, I have always wanted to be someone like my father, so I can't back down here.

To change, everything must start with your own change.

the next day.

Licia got up her spirits and went out. Usually, at this time, she must be playing somewhere hiding from Phanias.

But today was different. Licia, who was dressed in formal attire, went straight to the conference room.

"Sir Lycia, Saint Ann." The guard asked her.

Chapter 300

Licia clenched her slightly trembling fists.

"Go to the conference room."

"Miss Lycia is here."

The guards hurriedly ran to communicate, and before their words were finished, Licia had already entered the auditorium.

For a moment, the entire auditorium was silent.

Lycia and Fanias, Balut, and Lile met their eyes.

Then everyone present bowed their heads and knelt down.

"It's time for everyone."

The nobles stood up one after another.

Barut said: "Lord Lycia, it's very early today, the meeting has not started yet."

"That's good, that means I can fully participate in the meeting."

"Exactly." Balut narrowed his eyes and stared at Licia.

In order not to let herself be shaken, Licia stared at him intently.

Soon in the conference room.

After the meeting started, Licia asked one question after another.

Although everyone present showed an impatient expression, Licia still chose to ignore it.

Licia will not leave today's meeting in doubt.

"What is the specific content of the countermeasures due to the decline in the wheat harvest? Why did the wheat tea and energy decrease?"

"Have you gone to the farmland for reference? How is the situation at the scene?"

No one answered.

"His Excellency Barut, please prepare the answers to the appeal questions before the next meeting."

"With all due respect, Mrs. Lycia, your question is too complicated. I hope you can take a long-term view and take care of the overall situation."

"Coordinating the overall situation also requires intelligence. Although it is a bit troublesome, I still leave it to you."

Barut fell silent.

"Your Excellency Balut." Lucius stood up: "Please leave this task to me."

"My lords are busy with business, but juniors like me still have time."

"Well, what are your objections?"

The nobles said nothing.

"Master Lycia, this matter will be handled by Mr. Lukius."

That's right, it's time for the next topic.

Licia asked the question again, but there was still no answer. Every time, Lucius volunteered to undertake the task of investigation.

The atmosphere in the conference room gradually became tense.

"My lord Lycia, with all due respect, if this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to complete the scheduled agenda."

"Can you please allow me to preside over it? If Your Highness has any doubts, I will explain it to His Highness afterwards."

Other nobles also expressed silent agreement, and they turned their censure eyes on Licia.

Licia understands that if she accepts Barut's proposal, it will be tantamount to returning to the starting point.

"Prince Balut, I've heard bad rumors."

"what's up?"

"You once founded a thing called Hagari, right?"

"I heard that Wie protects the patients with eclosion disease and sends them to the treatment center for treatment."

"As your Highness said."

"But I've never heard of a patient walking out of an asylum, what's going on."

Licia was looking forward to Barut's wavering expression.

However, Balut still remained calm.

"This is a rumor, Your Highness is wise, you should not listen to such rumors."

"Why can you conclude that it is a rumor, what is the treatment facility doing?"

"Someone who understands this matter please explain it to Your Highness, Mr. Lukius."

"Yes." Sir Lucius stood up.

Licia noticed that there was a faint haze on his face.

"Unfortunately, the cure for the feathering disease has not yet been confirmed, so a large number of patients have not improved after receiving treatment, and all of them have passed away. Even so, the feathering disease is contagious."

"In order for people to live and work in peace, we have to isolate them."

Lukius explained smoothly.

But Lucius' expression was gloomy, and Licia turned to Balut and said, "Prince Balut, is that so?"

"Exactly, without any falsehood."

Barut's expression was as usual, and he even had a faint smile on his face.

It's really unfathomable. Will I have to fight wits and courage with such a man in the future?

"You once said that the treatment center is an essential facility for carrying out the father's research, right? So what is the connection between the research and the eclosion disease?"

"Identification of a cure for eclosion disease. It will be of great benefit to His Majesty's research."

"is this real?"

"You're joking." Barut smiled wryly; "If your Highness has any questions, you can ask His Majesty the King in person."

"I will report that His Highness has doubts. Although it will worry His Majesty, Lady Lycia is His Majesty's favorite."

"Your Majesty will be happy to tell His Highness."

Hearing this sentence, Licia's face turned pale, and she felt a little regretful.

I actually had doubts about the research my father conducted for me, and even wanted to suppress my father.

"I understand. You are faithfully carrying out the research of the father. I have no doubts about this."

"Thank you for your understanding, His Majesty the King must be pleased for His Highness."

Balut smiled.

Licia was a little reconciled, but questioning the research was tantamount to questioning her father.

The subsequent meeting went smoothly under the chairmanship of Barut.

It is no longer possible to ask the nobles a series of questions like before.

Although there are still several places in doubt.

"Then, Lady Lycia, it's your turn."

Barut spoke.

Licia is a little powerless, is her own power so tiny?

"All the issues have been deliberated in detail, and I made a fatal verdict with Licia. This is a matter of decision at the meeting. Thank you for your hard work."

Another unchangeable verdict was made, which made Licia bow her head and close her eyes in shame.

. ,. . . .

Li Le, who was in the corner of the auditorium, saw the door of the meeting room opened, and the nobles came out in a file.

Barut exchanged pleasantries with his men.

And Licia walked past them a little listlessly.

Li Le remembered Licia's majestic appearance when she entered the conference room, but the situation didn't seem to develop as she expected.

"Awaited."

After Lukius came out, he came to Li Le.

"Did you spend a lot of time today?"

"Lord Lycia asked us a lot of questions." Rukius said, "It's eye-catching."

Lucius' expression was full of joy, it seemed that Licia was working hard in her own way.

Sith said in a low voice, "But I just saw that Lady Licia seemed very disappointed."
