Catherine had already let go of her hand and was helping everyone introduce themselves to each other, under the pretext of getting to know classmates in advance.

After Lilith greeted him with a smile, she finally stood by the snack table as she wished. The amount of self-introduction she made today was probably the amount she had done in her previous life. Eating something good was the reward she deserved. Besides, if she didn't take in some sugar, she might not be able to smile anymore.

"Ms. Lilith seems very hungry. How about having my snack too?" When Lilith was eating from one end of the long table to the other, a girl smiled and greeted her, attracting everyone's attention.

Lilith looked up and saw a girl in a white lace dress. She walked up to Lilith with her little cake in her hand, smiling and blinking her eyes. However, the smile did not reach her eyes and there was mockery at the corners of her mouth.

"Thank you, Miss Russell." Lilith took it decisively and continued eating.

She remembered this girl. Catherine had just introduced her. This girl was Angel Russell, the youngest daughter of the Russell family, the first knight of the empire. Even though Lilith didn't participate much in the conversations of these noble ladies, as long as she stood here, she represented the attitudes of the Fryer family and the Taylor family. Russell's caution and hostility towards the Taylor family were natural. After all, when the princess ascended to the throne, there would only be one first knight, and the Russell family obviously didn't want to let go of this honor. Just now, she heard from this girl that one of her cousins joined the Guardian team this year, and sending two at the same time was a big bet.

"You..." The proud Miss Russell had obviously never seen such a shameless person like Lilith. She opened her eyes wide in shock and was speechless.

"Oh, Angie, you are so considerate." Catherine came up and hugged the little girl with wide eyes, successfully calming her down. Then she picked up a bite-sized sandwich and said, "I want to eat more. After the formal classes start tomorrow, the school gate will not be open all day. We can only go out on holidays." Catherine sighed exaggeratedly.

This caused everyone to complain, "I felt like throwing up after eating the cafeteria food once. Do I have to endure it for a week?"

"Oh my god, it's so disgusting and we have to grab it from the same window as civilians. I'm going crazy!"

"Let's go shopping together later. Let's buy some biscuits and bread that can last longer."

……

She successfully shifted her sight away from Lilith. She gently bit off the candied cherry on the pudding and looked at Catherine dancing in the crowd. She felt that Melissa was really worrying too much. All the difficulties were in the past. Catherine was now like a fish in water in Goletia.

After Lilith ate leisurely around several long tables, when it was getting dark, Catherine's party finally ended.

Angel Russell stopped and smiled when she passed by Lilith. "Ms. Lilith, I hope we can get along well during the school year," she said sarcastically.

Lilith opened her mouth and said, "Hiccup————". Very good, even if we have traveled through time, we must not forget the iron rule of buffets, we must eat until we have to lean on the wall to leave.

Angel's face kept changing ugly, and finally she gave up taking advantage of Lilith with words, snorted angrily, picked up her skirt and walked away quickly.

After saying goodbye to the crowd, Catherine caught up with the slow-moving Lilith and walked slowly with her in the woods. "Please don't mind Angie's attitude, Lilith. No one can shake the friendship between my father and old Earl Taylor." Catherine abandoned her social smile. Although her face was as cold as her silver hair, she said this very sincerely.

"They are good friends who have been together for half their lives, and I naturally hope to continue their friendship. I was not honest enough this morning... I'm sorry." Catherine apologized frankly. "At the same time, I also secretly hope that my first knight will be chosen from the Taylor family." She thought she had made a very important promise.

In the end, Lilith just smiled, as if she didn't receive her signal of goodwill. "Of course I don't mind the Russell family's attitude. Whether or not she can become the first knight is up to Leila herself." Knights are always proud. If it wasn't because of her strength but because of her scheming to win a position for the Taylor family, she had a hunch that the sister she had never met would not be happy.

"It can be seen that the princess is very social. But..." Lilith rubbed her belly as she walked. "After all, the nobles only account for a small part of the students this time, right? The students of Goletia are still mainly civilians. With the arrogance and prejudice they showed today, conflicts between civilians and nobles will be inevitable sooner or later. Princess, have you thought about how to deal with it in the future?" Lilith believed that this princess would never come just for a few small nobles who stood by her. If it was just such a small plot, she would not have to come to Goletia at all. If she stayed in High Court, someone would still secretly extend an olive branch to her.

The more Lilith guessed, the clearer her thoughts became. She also remembered the strange "Guardian" system. Although what Senior Todd said was that it was established to protect magic apprentices was reasonable, this system was clearly -

conscription.

Lilith was frightened by this speculation. It seemed that the city of Goletia was secretly accumulating strength under the nose of High Garden, and what Catherine asked for...what did she want to do?

But Catherine seemed unwilling to reveal too much on this topic. She tilted her head and said in Lilith's tone, "That's my own practice."

Well, it seems everyone has a secret. Lilith stopped asking questions, smiled, and continued to walk slowly with Catherine under the shade of the tree.

"——Classmate, do you need help?" A familiar male voice came faintly through the woods. Lilith stopped suddenly, and Catherine looked over with some confusion.

"Sorry, Catherine, I met a friend and wanted to say hello." Lily greeted Catherine and said goodbye without hesitation, then turned and walked towards the direction where the voice came from.

At this time, by a lake on campus, Lucas was enthusiastically promoting himself to the black-clad teenager in front of him. He had planned to call it a day, but he didn't expect to have business at this time. Lucas looked at the other person's clothes and greeted him warmly, "You are also a guardian this year, right? You've just come to report at this time? You're really patient, brother." He held up five fingers, "For only five silver coins, I will help you carry your luggage and lead the way. I know all the dormitories where the first-year guardians live."

I don’t know if the other person was too tired, but he was in a bad mood. He carried his luggage and walked silently along the lake, ignoring Lucas.

"Oh, that's three silver coins, the last order. I'll have dinner after I help you." Lucas was persistent and stretched out his hand to take the luggage from the other person. But a white little hand came across and snatched it away.

"Welcome to Goletia Academy, classmate!"

Lilith showed her standard eight teeth and smiled warmly at the black-dressed and black-haired boy in front of her: "I'll help you with your luggage, no charge!"
