Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Now it was Catherine who was stunned. She never expected that this was what Lilith wanted to ask, and she could not keep up with Lilith's jumping thoughts.

Lilith took Catherine's silence as a consent and became even more terrified. She opened her eyes wide and her mind was in a mess.

"Um, does Melissa know?" In the lush green room, the two girls looked at each other, and Lilith carefully confirmed with Catherine. No way? Did she accidentally follow the Taylor family on the pirate ship?

"Lilith, I am the crown prince." Catherine was stunned for a long time, and finally came to her senses, and emphasized with a bit of a smile. That throne must belong to her, and she has never thought of giving the crown to anyone else.

"Yes, so don't do anything stupid!" Lilith was confused and said dryly, "I heard that His Majesty the King is not in good health. You, you are still young. You should be more patient and wait a few more years until you grow up..." Her voice became smaller and smaller, for fear that someone might hear her.

Lilith has the mentality of a petty bourgeois, and her biggest wish is world peace so that she can make money and become a rich woman. She used to feel fortunate that the place she traveled to was relatively peaceful and without war. Naturally, she did not want this harmony to be broken.

"Then will you reject me, Lilith?" A smile flashed across Catherine's smoky gray eyes. She noticed the tiny scratches on Lilith's brow that she hadn't noticed herself, and placed her cool fingers over them. A gentle light lit up, and the healing magic healed Lilith's wounds bit by bit.

"Yes." Lilith thought for a moment and answered calmly. She couldn't risk herself for the sake of others' goals, and she wasn't really alone and without any worries. She still had Mary, Bella, and Shelley Town, and she had a place to come from... and Catherine's ambition might put the people she cared about in danger.

"I thought we were friends, Lilith." Catherine's voice was filled with disappointment.

The cedar scent on the princess' body almost enveloped Lilith as her fingers got closer, but this was not the time to indulge in beauty. Instead, the cold scent cooled her mind. She continued to shrink back and distanced herself, firmly shaking her head in refusal, and said softly, "These are two different things, Catherine. I can't afford the risk of you being implicated if you fail."

Catherine pursed her lips when she heard that, then slowly put down her hands and lowered her head.

Lilith looked at Catherine, whose shoulders were shaking slightly, and sighed inwardly. She was too blunt in her words. She felt that their relationship would be back to square one. Well, friendship comes and goes, as the saying goes, things that are long apart must come together, and things that are long together must separate.

"Pfft." In this suffocating silence, Catherine suddenly laughed, and then the suppressed laughter slipped out from the corners of her tightly pursed lips. She raised her head, and instead of looking lost as Lilith had imagined, her face was full of smiles.

"Lilith, didn't I tell you when we first met that you are really interesting?" Catherine's usually calm expression disappeared. Her eyes were shining and she looked very cute.

Catherine's shoulders swayed with laughter, and her cloak rubbed against the huge leaves of the devil's bite next to her, causing the plant to rustle and shake, as if it was also laughing.

"I like dealing with smart people. Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid like rebellion." Catherine solemnly promised that her father would not allow her to dethrone her uncle the king.

"Ahaha——" Lilith responded awkwardly. She felt embarrassed about her own random imagination, but also relieved. As long as she wasn't rebelling, it would be fine. She admitted that she was a coward!

"So where do you want to plant it?" Lilith asked tentatively.

"My hometown is Ozler. It was my father's fiefdom, and I lived there when I was a child." Catherine looked at the confused Lilith and added, "You may not have heard of this place, because nowadays everyone calls it... the Land Forsaken by God."

“Oh—ah?!”

Lilith gasped, her pupils dilated slightly in shock, "But, but, isn't your father the only duke in the empire? How could his fiefdom be that kind of place?" She thought of the sea people she met on the roadside that year. Didn't they say that the God-forsaken Land is not suitable for human habitation?

"When my father was enthroned, Ozler was the most fertile territory in the empire. It had a pleasant climate, fertile land, countless good farmland, and was backed by the east coast line. According to my parents, they used to go to the beach often. The beach there was as golden in color, so it was also called the Gold Coast. They bought the freshest oysters and sea urchins from the sea people and could eat them right after they were pried open on the spot. But later..."

Catherine hesitated. Her father had told her that it was not appropriate to inform the public now, as the panic caused would further affect the stability of the country.

"Later...some disasters occurred." Catherine chose her words carefully. "Now there are disasters every year, and the fields are all abandoned. However, if your hybrid grain can really mature quickly within a few months as you said, maybe we can try to harvest it quickly. That can help a lot of people, Lilith!"

"There is a shortage of food there every year, and the supplies from High Court are always sporadic. Everyone has a hard time... Besides, the Church of Light has already evacuated from there, so what you are worried about will not happen."

She took Lilith's hand, looked into her eyes, and said sincerely, "So, are you willing to help me, Lilith? If you can help us breed seeds, we can take out a portion of the harvest every year and provide it to your winery for free. You don't need to rent land and tenant farmers, nor do you need to buy seeds yourself, which saves a lot of expenses. It's a win-win for us, isn't it?"

"It sounds..." Lilith secretly calculated in her heart. For her, breeding is a matter that consumes her mental energy and time. If she could save the money for buying grain, her winery would almost become a business with no capital. This job... can be taken!

"Okay, I agree, if you really just want to grow food to improve the lives of the people there." Now that she had made up her mind, Lilith was not a hesitant person. "As long as you have time to plant them during the sowing season, I will try my best to cultivate more seeds before then..."

Hearing this, Catherine pulled her up and walked out.

"Hey, hey, where are you going?" Lilith staggered when she was pulled, and hurriedly took steps, trying to keep up with Catherine's pace.

"Go and send the letter. You probably need more wheat seeds. I'll provide them!" Catherine's tone was cheerful. Lilith had never seen her like this before.

"But the school gate is closed. We can go back on the weekend..."

"We can climb over the wall!" Catherine said without hesitation.

Lilith was stunned: Is this still the princess she knew?
