She Is Not a Witch Chapter 51: Little cake
In the room on the high tower, the curtains were blown from time to time in the night wind, and there was a sound of rolling.
The books spread out on the table, the pages flipping in the wind, also made a rushing sound, embellishing the quiet room.
As the person with the highest status in the empire in name, the Red Queen Lily is sitting at the table in a daze at the moment, watching the lights of thousands of families in the imperial capital outside the window.
She is not the kind of girl who loves reading and learning, but now she is isolated and helpless, and she can only hope for possible answers in books.
After the sudden death of Emperor Edelman, many powers originally belonged to the emperor were transferred to her. But this kind of power is like a beautiful glass vessel. Although it looks good, it is also extremely fragile.
People dare not disobey the supreme emperor, but facing this young queen who has no background, strength, or even qualifications, it is always inevitable that some contempt will arise.
If it is an order that the courtiers think is appropriate, they may obey it, but if it is an order that they think is not appropriate, or there is no strong reason, they will express doubts in their hearts. Although this is not a direct resistance to the order, if Nolili can't give a reasonable explanation, they will continue to struggle with it, and even obey it.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late."
In the room illuminated by candlelight, a maid in black and white uniform came in softly, reminding the weak queen.
Lily was startled at first, but she slowly calmed down after seeing this familiar figure.
"It turned out to be Wen Na." This head maid was appointed by Edelman before her death, and she has followed Edelman for a long time, so there is no need to worry about her loyal confidant.
"Some can't sleep."
Lily got up and walked to the window sill to feel the night wind blowing. She was wearing a red pink nightdress, with a touch of grace.
"His Highness Edron is coming back soon."
"Although he is His Majesty's brother, facing the temptation of the throne, it is difficult for me to fully trust him, and I am extremely worried." Lily poured out her thoughts.
"But now he is the regent. Even I have no reason to prevent him from entering the imperial capital. And if he doesn't come, maybe Feiting and I will be more dangerous." Lily now also roughly knows that many old people in the imperial capital The nobles were dissatisfied with the dead emperor.
"Your Majesty, please try to trust Your Highness Edron. In fact, I have served the two Highnesses since I was a child, and I believe that His Highness Edlun is not the kind of cold-blooded and ruthless person." The head maid comforted softly.
"I know, it can only be like this, but the inner anxiety is not so easy to control." Lily shook her head.
"Leave me alone for a while."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Seeing this, the head maid had no choice but to leave the room softly and continue to guard the door.
The room became quiet again. Lily sighed, sat down at the table, raised her head and looked at the letters on the table. Among them were letters from nobles expressing their support, and letters from generals expressing their loyalty. Although they are all expressions of loyalty and praise, Lily doesn't know these people well, and she has never even seen many of them. It is difficult for her to distinguish how many of them are sincere, and how many of them are just for clinging and deceiving trust. .
Edelman supported a large number of military nobles after he ascended the throne. These people are loyal supporters of the new emperor. Originally, even if Edelman died, they would support Edelman's descendants to ascend the throne. It's a pity that everything happened so suddenly. Edelman and Lily's child has just turned one year old, and it will take many years to wait before ascending the throne. Lily is weak, and Prince Edlun is in the midst of a young and healthy life. state.
According to the past legal principles of the empire, he should have been on the throne, and he was Edelman's brother. Now that Edelman has passed away, it is easy for him to inherit the throne, even the strict and old-fashioned nobles can't pick big problem.
But if this is the case, the position of Lily's mother and son will become awkward. She is not greedy for power, but in the position of queen, she has also heard a lot of deeds in history. When Edron ascended the throne, for the stability of future generations, her and her child's lives depended on each other's thoughts.
Unable to think of a good solution, Lily sighed again in the candlelight, and then she was about to get up and leave. If it was later, Feiting would wake up and cry again. This prince who just turned one year old is still very greedy. mother's arms.
When it was time to blow out the candles, the flame flickered for a while, and a figure appeared in the room, and then slowly condensed into a solid body.
"You are... Sister Lorraine." Lily started to panic, and then shouted out in surprise.
Fortunately, Lorraine Hill set up a sound-proof barrier in advance, so that the maids outside were not allowed to come in.
"Long time no see, Lily."
The figure of Lorraine Hill slowly turned into a solid body, and then she stood in front of Lily. She was wearing a black and blue dress and a witch hat today, like a mysterious witch in the eyes of outsiders.
"I'm not dreaming, it's really Lorraine." Lily looked at the unchanging black-haired girl in front of her with some disbelief. Her face and figure were exactly the same as when she was in school ten years ago.
"I'm right. If you don't believe me, you can ask about the past at school." Lorraine Hill lightly stretched out his fingers, and crimson light particles emerged in the air, and then his pupils also appeared in the dim room Inner turn to a magnificent red.
Under 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, Bu Mansha, Lily, Night Spirit, Vimiya, Lorraine, Alena, 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 feel 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 crossed.
"Well, the stupid night spirits are 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, pretending to be arrogant and said, and then shot out suddenly, grabbing Lily's waist.
"Giggle, let me down, it's so itchy." Lily struggled dumbfounded, 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.
"I don't need to talk about my height. Also, I'm wearing slippers now. If I put on my usual shoes, I'm definitely taller than you." Lily also responded as usual, puffing her cheeks and giving a slightly angry response.
Although she has a child now, Lily herself is only in her twenties, and she has only been a queen for two years, and she still retains a lot of the innocent temperament of the past~IndoMTL.com~ If you want to say that, I will become a dragon Comparing with you again, wouldn't it be a direct crush. "Ye Ling responded unknowingly with his hands on his hips.
"I'm much stronger now than before. Even if Ai Luoyi comes over, I may not be able to hit me now, hehe." Yeling patted his chest. Lilong has dominated the rankings for a long time, and she has the legacy of Xingliu.
Looking at the interaction between these two little guys, Lorraine Hill felt that Lily's original sadness had also been diluted a lot.
That's great, fortunately I brought Yeling here this time, otherwise I would not have such a good effect if I came to comfort Lily myself.
Immediately, Lorraine Hill took out a temporarily made maple wand from behind him, waved it casually, and the paper books on the table flew up, closed them continuously, and arranged them neatly on the side bookshelf, And colorful dinners are all over 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."
