In the Japanese-style hall, the old grandfather in a black samurai uniform had a bleak expression and his words were extremely desperate.

The faces of the ugly man and Lily's mother turned gloomy after hearing this, and they all looked very remorseful.

However, the girl could not sympathize with this.

In the smoky hall, seeing the ugly appearance of these elders, she even wanted to laugh a little.

When did you start losing respect for them in your heart?

In her eyes, her grandfather was synonymous with wisdom and stability...

He can teach himself a lot of great truths, and that often means being right and that is how life should be.

Where is the father?

To her, her father is more like a friend who grew up with her.

Father and daughter have the same hobbies and similar worldviews. When they encounter any messy and disgusting things, he will point at them and yell at them.

My mother is not so kind. She often has a cold face, as if she has nothing to do and doesn't bother me.

But her mother is very powerful. When Lily accidentally makes a mistake, she will severely criticize her so that she can learn the lesson and try not to make it again next time.

Her mother is also the person Lily fears most.

But now, looking at these close relatives showing such helpless and decadent expressions in the face of the situation, looking at them all looking like they regret...

Lily only felt that life was unreal.

They have taught themselves the correct outlook on life and the world since childhood, and warned themselves to be kind and uphold the truth of justice.

But in the end, the people who taught her didn't take these words seriously at all!

In the face of interests, all those principles are thrown away without thinking.

That was it when I heard about Andy a few days ago.

For now, it’s still like this!

They seem to be regretting and feeling very angry at the organization's abandonment, but are they really regretting their past choices?

What is the reason for their anger?

It's just that your own interests are damaged and you feel pain.

If his own safety was not involved, and if he saw other people in the organization being arrested and interrogated by the royal family, and even losing their lives, my grandfather would probably only say, "This is a necessary sacrifice, right?"

Just like he made the decision to turn his back on Andy without any hesitation!

Could he still not know that Andy would definitely lose his life because of this?

Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but feel sad.

Ever since she told what happened to Andy a few days ago, she had been grounded, which also allowed her to see more of the true nature of her elders.

My father, who is like a friend, is actually a coward. He obeys everything, listens to his mother and grandfather, and has no opinions of his own.

The stern and powerful mother is just an empty frame who only pretends to be an elder, does not talk about reason, and only talks about authority.

The wise and far-sighted grandfather is more like an old fool.

The apparent indifference and calmness are nothing but self-righteousness!

They live in their own world, following the character habits they have developed over the years. In their peaceful daily lives, they think that each of them is a strong person.

But in reality?

They have neither a strong mind nor a strong ability.

Maybe this cannot be called weak, but it is just like a group of people of my junior generation who follow the crowd.

They think they control everything, but in fact they are always guided and manipulated by the situation.

All decisions seem to be made from the heart, but in reality they are not your own at all!

So they were, so was the Weaver steward.

The so-called organizations that oppose the royal family are still like this...

Who is really in control of everything?

Lily thought of the skinny boy who lived in the cabin by the sea.

He seems weak, but he is imprisoned and controlled by the organization. Is he really weak?

The butler, who was considered extremely powerful by the people, was defeated by this weakling.

Moreover, it is very easy.

From the beginning, it has only been a few days since I ran to see him...

Before, I was in a panic because my elders were taken away, so I didn't think about it in detail.

Now think about it, how terrifying is this?

More importantly, it was the letter.

Was that letter really just addressed to the Norman bishop?

She originally thought it was.

But now...

The girl, who was sitting on her knees in the hall, feeling a little dazed, couldn't help but think of the complicated look Andy looked at her when he wrote the letter.

What does that look mean?

She didn't care at that time, all her thoughts were on how to defeat the butler.

Later, when he met Bishop Norman and understood the organization's true plan, he thought Andy had foreseen the conspiracy.

So I was surprised to see that I, a little rebel, was different from other members of the organization.

Later, after confronting her grandfather and being grounded by her family, she thought that Andy had already guessed the decision of her grandfather and others, so she looked at herself with complicated emotions.

Is he not sure whether he will go along with his family or go against them?

She had thought this was the case for the past two days.

Until today, until the steward stepped down, the royal family launched a large-scale manhunt, and the situation became violently turbulent.

Only then did she truly understand what that look meant!

"Knowing that a group of villains from our Kozia family would choose to turn their backs on him, we still had to take action to save the lives of these villains."

"This feeling must be very helpless..."

She was thinking mockingly in her heart, looking at the faces around her that were either desperate, sad, or crazy and scolding, but the girl had no intention of really watching indifferently.

No matter what, the people around her are her family.

Her grandfather and parents were the closest relatives she could not let go of. She no longer had faith in them but still loved them.

They may be stupid and self-righteous.

But at least they didn't really do anything evil.

Regardless of deeds or intentions, everything can still be put right.

Since Andy left himself this escape route, he should be able to guess that he would not be able to abandon the family in front of him and ignore it.

As long as you take your family with you to apologize to him afterwards...

Thinking of this, Lily finally spoke.

"We still have a chance."

"A chance to survive."

At this time, the Japanese-style hall seemed noisy and messy, but in fact everyone was very sensitive.

Even though Lily's words were not loud, they still made everyone stunned for a moment, and then they all looked over.

"Good niece, what can I do? Come on, tell me!"

An uncle-like family member asked hurriedly, not caring whether her niece was reliable at her young age.

But it wasn't just him, other people around him were also staring at the girl as if they had grasped the last straw, not letting go of any chance of survival!

"We can apply for political asylum."

Lily said calmly: "This way, we can escape the subsequent arrests of the York royal family."

"Political asylum?"

This word is commonly used in the world, but it is not unfamiliar to the extraordinary.

To put it simply, it means seeking asylum from external forces, or foreign officials.

If there really is a force strong enough to fight against the York royal family and choose to protect the Cozia family, then the Cozia family will naturally survive this catastrophe.

only……

After everyone looked at each other for a moment, they all felt disappointed.

To seek shelter from others, of course you must have the value of being sheltered.

Herein lies the reason for their disappointment.

The Cozia family is very wealthy, but what does this wealth mean in the face of the York royal family's vigorous crackdown?

Even if they dissipate all their wealth, no one will choose to protect them.

Because this will anger the York royal family, the gains are not proportional to the efforts.

Everyone shook their heads and sighed, not looking forward to it.

Only the three old warriors who knew more about the inside story had their thoughts changed after hearing this.

"You mean to use Andy's affairs in exchange for some people's protection?"

the old grandfather asked in a low voice.

Andy's incident was both embarrassing and fatal to the York royal family, so it was naturally impossible for the news to leak out.

However, it is impossible for external forces to ignore such a high-profile move by the royal family, and they must be using all means to investigate the inside story.

In this case, if the Kozia family can provide clues and provide the truth of the matter, then it is not an extravagant hope to save the lives of everyone in the family.

only……

Before Lily could respond, the old warrior's face darkened again when he asked.

"It's useless. Even if we have extremely valuable information, if we are being watched now, we won't be able to leave the country at all."

"There should be some spies from other countries in the country."

Lily's mother on the side said in a reluctant tone: "They will definitely know some secret passages to leave."

"But how do we know where they are?"

The ugly man felt helpless at his wife's words, "There is no embassy. Even the royal family probably doesn't know who these people are. Where can we find them?"

"And don't forget, time is running out now. Father said if we don't make it tonight, the royal family will come to investigate."

Can't make it through tonight...

The middle-aged woman said nothing after hearing this.

During the silence, her face gradually turned pale, her eyes were blank, and the strong demeanor of the past was gone at this moment.

Lily, who was watching silently, couldn't help but pursed her lips when she saw this.

Where to find it?

Wasn't there a lot written on that letter?
