Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome
Chapter 581 Like a Miracle
A bright light appeared out of thin air from Lilith's fingertips accompanied by singing, and then slowly floated over the boy's bony and protruding finger bones. The redness and swelling on the joints gradually subsided at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It should be healed soon. Then there's your face. Oh, I shouldn't have kept it a secret from you. I really should have asked Mr. Wolfe to come and see you..."
Lilith couldn't help laughing when she thought about how Instructor Wolf had just set an example for her but was slapped in the face.
"Just apply some ointment here..." Ian said this, but still lowered his head to cooperate.
The vague conversation at Lucas's place turned into a detailed explanation here, and Lilith soon understood everything that happened on the street.
"Earl Spencer? Fred mentioned him when he prayed?" Lilith's smile disappeared, and then she looked behind her.
They were still in the security hall. After Lucas was brought out, he had been pulled away by Ke Luo and was talking at the gate. The beautiful seafaring lady was holding her brother and crying with red and swollen eyes, like a fragile little deer. People were coming and going in the hall, and anyone who passed by couldn't help but look at her more.
Female sea dwellers are truly beautiful...
Ian nodded: "Do you remember, he——"
"Of course I remember." Lilith's face turned cold. "It was that person who caused you to leave the Knights of Light."
The licentious and cruel nobleman never regarded common people as human beings. In order to destroy her marriage with him, Miss Margaret even abandoned her noble status and ran away from the marriage.
Fred, seemingly driven mad by his recent investment failure, had lost his composure and turned his attention to his wife, hoping to use her to push the ladder to the upper echelons.
"I broke his nose, two teeth, and three ribs. He won't be able to attend Lord Spencer's banquet for the foreseeable future."
Ian also looked over there. When Ms. Ke Luo met the gaze of the "murderer", she didn't even dare to show her dissatisfaction. She just pulled Lucas away with tears in her eyes.
"The blow was still too light." Lilith said softly.
"I'm sorry, the security team came too quickly." Ian looked a little depressed: "I should have caused you trouble-"
"What's the big deal if it can be solved with money?" Lilith waved her hand.
Fred, looking miserable, had been lingering at the entrance of the sheriff's hall, refusing to leave. He howled and complained that Gloria's students were abusing their privileges to oppress ordinary citizens, and demanded that the sheriff deal with him seriously according to the city's laws.
But his eyes were always staring in the direction of Lilith and Catherine.
Lilith immediately understood and decisively proposed to settle the matter privately with him. Fred got the benefit, and Catherine negotiated with the officials in the Sheriff's Department, so the two were released so quickly without alerting the school.
"Don't worry, I will make him return double what he took from me." Lilith was thinking about looking for her right-hand man Bella later.
Ian was relieved, but his frown remained. "But what should we do next? We have to find a way to prevent Fred from leaving the city. Maybe Catherine can..."
"The problem isn't with Fred." Lilith pondered and shook her head. "If we really want to solve the problem, we still need Lucas's sister herself. She has the leg."
On the other side of the hall.
"Lucas, how can you say that you instigated this? What if you are kicked out of Gloria because of this?" Ke Luo turned pale with fear at the thought of being separated from her brother again and losing their home again.
"Go apologize to Fred, please..."
"My friends won't let anything happen to me. If you really care about me that much, just break up with that guy. Everyone knows he's not a good person." Lucas patiently advised his sister.
"You, why do you say that again?" Thinking of her injured husband at home and the complaints she would face later, Ke Luo's eyes turned red again. She clenched her handkerchief, wanting to cry but afraid that her tears would wrinkle the expensive fabric of the clothes.
"Lucas, you're still young. You don't understand that marriage requires management..."
Ke Luo choked up. Fred had been in a bad mood a few days ago and the atmosphere at home was very depressing. After finally getting through the most difficult period, her brother offended him again. The family found it difficult to get along. Ke Luo felt tired and aggrieved.
A light laugh came from behind her. Ke Luo turned around and saw that the blonde noble lady and the person who beat her husband had come closer without her knowing when. She had heard a lot.
"I'm sorry that my partner scared you, Miss Ke Luo." Lilith greeted with a smile.
Ke Luo opened her mouth, wanting to say that she could no longer be called Miss, but the noble lady was even more enthusiastic than the last time they met. She stepped forward and squeezed Lucas, holding her arm affectionately.
"You are so beautiful, Sister Ke Luo." Before Ke Luo could correct her, Lilith changed her name and got close to her.
"Ms. Lilith, you—"
"I especially like beauties like you." Lilith had already taken her arm and walked out of the security hall, while turning sideways to stare at her face.
The gaze was too intense, and she looked back at Lucas helplessly, but her brother had already started talking to the black-haired boy again.
"It must have been a difficult time for you these past few years." Lilith took her arm and walked down the stairs, not forgetting to help hold up her skirt. "Beauty isn't always a good thing, is it?"
Only then did Ke Luo look at Lilith again.
"I actually don't agree with what you just said." Without waiting for Ke Luo's response, Lilith continued with a smile, "I think managing a marriage is just a scam targeting kind and responsible people like you."
Ke Luo was stunned. She let Lilith lead her on a stroll down the street. After a while, she stammered in response: "Ms. Lilith, you, you are still a child..."
"Maybe. I'm definitely not married." Lilith didn't deny it. "Have you seen the girls in my winery?"
"Of course." Ke Luo nodded. "They...they are very powerful."
She had accompanied her husband to Shelley Winery many times before. Those young, capable ladies who walked with a breeze looked younger than her, but her husband just kept smiling at them and asked her to prepare gifts in advance for every holiday.
"Yes, they are almost all girls from small towns. They spent a lot of time and effort studying to get here step by step."
Lilith looked at Ke Luo.
"I just feel a little sorry for you. Maybe your marriage helped you get through a tough time, but if you put all your energy into it, it would be a waste. You could have used your time to do more things."
Ke Luo lowered her eyelids: "I can't be like them..."
Those powerful and vibrant girls were from another world to her. She just wanted to run her own family well.
"But what if you put in so much effort and ultimately find that you've only managed to capture the attention of a mediocre person?"
"I don't care. I never chose Fred because of his wealth!" Ke Luo argued hastily.
"I know." Lilith nodded and gently touched Ke Luo's face with her fingers. Her skin was as delicate as white porcelain.
"With your looks, it wouldn't be difficult for you to live an easy life, but you chose Mr. Fred. I think you must have your own limits and self-respect."
Ke Luo felt a little uncomfortable with this inexplicable closeness. Lucas never told her that Miss Lilith had such a passionate and unrestrained personality.
"You just want to find a good person, one who treats you and your family well, that would be even better, right?" But the next moment, Lilith put down her hand and sighed, "But what if you're wrong?"
"……what?"
"The history of the Spencer family is as long as the history of the empire. Their ancestors were warriors who fought alongside the Human King Zora." Lilith abruptly changed the subject, leaving Ke Luo confused.
“The empire is full of nobles, but many of those once prominent have long since vanished into the dust of history. Only a few, like the Spencer family, have managed to remain standing for millennia.
This was not only due to the outstanding achievements of their ancestors, but also because the Spencer family's fiefdom was rich in lake salt. Since the crisis in Ozler, the empire's salt business has been firmly in the hands of Earl Spencer. That lord——"
Lilith paused, a look of disgust on her face. "He's very obsessed with beautiful people, and he has some unspeakable habits."
Ke Luo's arm was held by Lilith, and she was completely frozen and speechless. She was not a fool, and had seen the dark side over the years. Miss Lilith would not say such words for no reason...
"Sister Ke Luo." Lilith slowed down her tone. "If your husband is a man who needs his wife to sell her dignity and body in exchange for a future, such a marriage—"
"Impossible!" Ke Luo suddenly pulled her arm out of Lilith's arms, her voice shrill with panic.
Fred said that he had been working hard for many days to get this ticket to the dinner party, and it was a rare opportunity... He repeatedly described the bright future after meeting important people, but never mentioned Earl Spencer, let alone those disgusting rumors.
She didn't want to believe it, nor did she dare to believe it.
The beautiful woman staggered back, trying to distance herself from Lilith, who had brought her the horrifying news, and was completely unaware of the dust on her expensive skirt.
"Then why don't you ask your husband in person who was originally the host of tonight's dinner?"
…………
"Is this okay?"
Ke Luo had left, and now the people walking on the street were Lilith and Ian. The boy watched the brother and sister with the same hair color disappear around the corner before asking his partner beside him.
Lilith tilted her head and thought for a moment, "That's right. I don't think Sister Keluo needs to be saved by anyone. Someone who can survive the famine of the sea people until now is much stronger than we think. She was just blinded by her obsession with home. Once she sees clearly, she will naturally let it go.
It's better for her to leave on her own than for Lucas to go after Fred right now and get himself into trouble."
Ian nodded and was about to say something when he saw passers-by pointing in the direction of the academy. He looked up and saw the shining spire of the castle.
Lilith followed Ian's gaze and saw that the sun had already set. "Oh, I made this. Doesn't it look good?"
She originally wanted to use magical light to outline the entire castle, but now she has only completed a small part at the top. From a distance, it looks like a castle in the sky suddenly appeared.
“Like a miracle.”
Ian finally put today's troubles behind him and smiled for the first time of the day when he looked at Lilith.
The boy and girl smiled at each other under the streetlights. In the distance, a glowing castle rose in the horizon. Aryan, standing atop the clock tower, rested his chin on his hand with a look of interest, muttering to himself:
"Well, the Mother Goddess is also a human now. It seems that it is not impossible for her to find a human partner—"
Before he could finish his words, the nimble night elf had already leaped to the other side of the bell tower with the sound of cracking bricks. He managed to grab the wall with one hand and avoided being blown away by the huge bombardment.
"If you say such disgusting things again, I will kill you." A cold voice sounded.
A strong smell of burning permeated the air. The place where Aryan had just stood had turned into a charred pit. Broken bricks kept falling into the cracks, knocking the big bell below and making a chaotic clanging sound.
Despite the danger, Aryan showed no sign of panic. He swung himself to the outer wall with the strength of one hand, and waved to the sullen-faced young man on the top of the bell tower with a smile:
"Long time no see, Master Zephirion."
