She Is Not a Witch Chapter 52: Candlelight flickering

In a slightly dark room, candles were stuck on a 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 really capricious. She has already enjoyed the glory and power of the queen, but now she 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 willful 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." Yeling folded his hands in front of his chin.

"Because I realized that some wishes are destined 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.

"The 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, startled for a few seconds, then came back to her senses, pointed the knife at the part of her name, and cut it open, revealing Among them are soft cakes 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."

"Yeah."

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 embarrassedly.

"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 still a few Brothers and sisters take care of you.”

"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 during the banquet at Baska's house."

"At first, I thought he was also a young man from some 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 both respect and fear the emperor." Lily shook her head slightly, then lowered her head and ate the cake.

"However, this is 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, hugging 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 what will happen in the future." Lily smiled wryly.

"It feels like it's in jeopardy now, the center of power is like the eye of the storm, full of intrigue and killing everywhere."

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

"However, few people think about what will happen later. Will this prince be able to inherit the throne, and 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 spurned by others, 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 failure of the king, 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 It is a 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 this grievance and dissatisfaction that Amanke was able to gain the support of the military and launch a coup d'état. On 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 nobles in the empire did not understand the ideas promoted by Crancia 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 continent, or it will fail and the chariot of the empire will be torn apart."

"Is there 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 very early, and 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. and backward.”

"And if the empire defeats Clancia, then the people of Clancia 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 may not be a bad thing. If the empire wins and obtains vast land and wealth, the internal problems of the empire will be greatly alleviated, and at least 200 years of prosperity and peace will be possible." He said to Lily.

"And after that?"

"In the future? Let people in the future figure out how to do it. There is no absolutely perfect system in the world. You always adapt slowly, or you can continue to change it if you have no other way." Amanke caressed Lily's forehead at that time , so answer.

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 is gone, I can only guard my child and hope that he can grow up safely. It is 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."

"There is no retreat in the struggle for power."

"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 streets The pavilions on both sides 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 self-willed 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 you 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 rubies.

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

"How are you going to clean up the situation left by Emmank? 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 my 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 appease 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.

"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 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 then, you just have to do your best."

"Look for trustworthy people, take part of the money, find local people with good reputation and reputation, 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 it can not only play a certain role in helping and protecting, but 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 every day's bread, but at least you can give them the ability to earn every day's bread."

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

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

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

"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."

"Doing 100 things right after doing 10 things wrong is better than never taking a step forward."

"Do you want to be a morally perfect person? Pursuing a sinless and faultless life is not the way to happiness, it will only make you miserable."

"So, be firm, since you have already made a mistake ahead, then turn around in time and take the next road well."

Lorraine Hill recalled the words that Sister Sander comforted her in the past, but she did not 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 and bringing pain and misfortune to everyone.

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

If one day, she is also like Lily, because she did something wrong and brought 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 ~IndoMTL.com~ makes people easy to be sympathetic and kind, but this kindness sometimes forms an invisible **** to restrain many thoughts of oneself, 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 similarities, but when an individual exists for a longer and longer time, 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.
