Some time after the funeral, Lilith returned to the capital from the Usl territory. Halfas had not spoken to Lilith for more than a month since Violet's death.

Seeing Lilith is like seeing Violet, who has already passed away.

Thinking about it this way, I realized that I was also Violet's murderer because I had often made unwanted advances towards her during her lifetime.

At Violet's funeral, Halphas wanted to say a few words to Lilith, but didn't know how to start.

"Sigh, Lilith might hate me."

But always hiding is not a long-term solution. Halphas remembered his father's teaching: "A king must have the courage to face his mistakes."

Regardless of whether Lilith will accept his apology, he should at least find Lilith first.

"Hey……"

While searching for Lilith, Halphas sighed silently.

In the corridor, they finally found Violet in her room.

Although Violet has passed away, her room remains exactly as it was, and servants clean it every day.

Lilith, dressed in a long black dress, sat on the bed with her arms wrapped around her knees, looking listless.

"right……"

The moment he saw her, the "I'm sorry" that had been stuck in Halfas's heart for a long time was about to come out, but for some reason, he swallowed the words back.

Halphas sat down beside her without a word, his head bowed. He wanted to put his arm around Lilith's shoulder, but the moment he reached out his hand, he suddenly felt unsure of what to do with it.

How can someone who has committed such heinous acts have the right to touch the victim's sister?

"Your Highness Halfas?"

A weak voice reached his ears, and Halphas abruptly raised his head, but Lilith was not quite what he had imagined.

I had expected Lilith to have swollen eyes and a tear-streaked face, but when I saw her in person, her face was dry, without any trace of crying.

“I’m sorry, Lilith… If it weren’t for the fact that I always lay hands on Violet… she wouldn’t have taken her own life because of that…”

"I can't hold back my tears anymore," Halfas sobbed.

"I'm so sorry... Could I have some time to myself... Your Highness Halfas?"

Maybe Lilith still doesn't want to talk to me...

Halfas thought to himself.

"Sorry……"

Hearing that Lilith's voice was listless, Halphas didn't know what else to say, so he left the room dejectedly.

……

Time slowly passed, and autumn had arrived, but this year's summer was unusually long, completely lacking the refreshing coolness of autumn.

July's heat subsides, and the weather is no longer so hot, but now it's September, the time to put on warm clothes, yet the lingering warmth is still unbearable.

After seeing off her guests, the princess went to the corridor for some fresh air and gently wiped the fine sweat from her neck with a silk handkerchief handed to her by a servant.

After Violet's death, she had to mediate the relationship with the Aiolos family, prepare for Violet's funeral, and arrange her affairs, which took a lot of energy.

Fortunately, the matter has been resolved smoothly without causing any unnecessary trouble for the royal family.

But in the princess's view, there was still one unresolved issue: Lilith.

After all, her son Halfas had often done offensive things to Violet in the past. Although Violet's suicide was not directly related to Halfas, it would still have some influence.

Even if Gordon didn't take it seriously, Lilith, Violet's twin sister, might not be so oblivious. In addition, Lilith had been staying in Violet's room since returning to the capital, which made people worry.

Should we find some time to talk to that little girl, Lilith?

A mother has a responsibility to clean up the mess her son makes.

The princess stroked her chin, and before she knew it, she had arrived at Violet's door.

“I’m sorry… Violet, I know you resent me, but… blame yourself… knowing full well that I love Prince Halphas, you still kept pestering him…”

The princess paused for a moment, then leaned quietly against the door, listening to Lilith sobbing and talking to herself inside the room.

“We look exactly alike… so why does Prince Halphas always hang around you… it must be because you spoke ill of me to Prince Halphas… all I do is steal the desserts you and your brother like…”

“You’re such a person who values ​​your reputation so much… You didn’t resist when Prince Halfas touched you… You were clearly… you were seducing Prince Halfas…”

“You know... no one can take food from my bowl... in order to keep Prince Halfas... I have no choice but to…”

The princess was stunned. Listening to Lilith's words in the room, she suddenly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

Could it be that Lilith orchestrated Violet's death?

I had indeed paid attention to Lilith in the past, and knew she had some ulterior motives, but I hadn't taken it seriously. However...

"That day... I took the aphrodisiac we bought together when we left the palace last time..."

The princess listened quietly as Lilith recounted how she had drugged the male servant and how she had driven the despondent Violet to her death with a single sentence.

Each additional word felt like an extra second spent in an ice cellar, and before she knew it, the princess felt a chill run through her body.

"Sometimes I think... how wonderful it would be if you were still alive... We were inseparable since we were little, and now that you're suddenly gone, I always feel like something's missing..."

“I regret it... I killed you by those means... I'm so sorry... Violet…”

squeak……

The princess stumbled and accidentally pushed open the bedroom door, where she saw Lilith sitting on Violet's bed, hugging Violet's favorite teddy bear, her eyes red and swollen from tears.

"Mistress... Mistress..."

Upon seeing the princess in this unexpected way, Lilith was so frightened that her face turned purple. She put down the teddy bear in her hand and walked shakily to the princess, her legs collapsing to the ground as if their bones had been removed.

The princess was also flustered and didn't know what to do. Should she ignore what she had just heard or should she deal with the official business?

"call……"

After quickly calming herself down, she entered the room with even steps, then gently waved to the servant behind her, who then closed the door.

The princess slowly knelt down, her fingertips lifting Lilith's chin, her eyes half-closed, and asked softly:

"Is everything you just said true?"

"Yes……"

Lilith said in a hoarse voice.

Upon hearing this answer, the princess frowned, wishing that Lilith had given a different answer.

"I'll ask you one more time, what you said..."

"Yes……"

Before the princess could finish speaking, Lilith spoke again.

At this moment, she was prepared to pay for Violet's life; months of nightmares had left the seven-year-old child utterly exhausted.

Snapped!

The princess grabbed Lilith by the collar and slapped her across the face.

Lilith also fell to the ground, sprawling awkwardly on the floor.

At this moment, the princess's expression was neither angry nor smiling. She moved closer to Lilith again, "This blow was delivered on behalf of your parents. Whatever the reason, you killed their child, and you should be punished accordingly!"

Immediately afterwards, the princess picked up Lilith again and slapped her across the face, sending her to the other side of the room. This was the first time the princess had ever hit someone, and with one slap, she shattered the noble dignity and elegance that had been maintained for many years onto the cold floor.

"This one was made on behalf of your sister. You deserve to die for it, but your sister isn't as heartless as you!"

"I'm...I'm so...sorry..."

Lilith's once delicate face was now covered with two bright red handprints. Her arms were too weak to support her body, but she fell to the ground again.

The princess walked up to her and said calmly, "I will pretend I didn't hear what you said this time. However, as long as I live, I will absolutely not allow a little girl like you to appear by Halfas's side!"

After saying this, the princess left the room.

……

"As long as I live, I will absolutely not allow a little girl like you to appear by Halfas's side!"

Lilith's mind echoed with the princess's words, and as she listened to the princess's receding footsteps, a sinister smile appeared on her face, one that seemed out of place for her age...

……

"Oh, my esteemed master, what do you intend to do with Miss Lilith?"

The servants helped the princess up and asked respectfully.

The princess felt a headache coming on, so she gently pinched the bridge of her nose and said quietly, "Let's just pretend this never happened. Gordon has already lost one daughter, and I don't want his second daughter to die here as well."

……

A year later, the princess boarded a boat for a trip and fell into the water, drowning.

Jobless Reincarnation: Even Without a Transfer Event, I Will Live Seriously [Chapter 143] Side Story (4): Two People Destined Not to Embrace Each Other

Chapter 143: Side Story (Part 4) Two People Destined Never to Embrace Each Other

……

"From this day forward, in the name of Lord Philip Boreas Grerat of Fetoia, I bestow upon you the surname Boreas. From this day forward, you are Rudius Boreas Grerat!"

……

As the host's voice echoed throughout the venue, a red wool carpet inlaid with gold threads was laid on the white granite floor. A newlywed couple stood kissing, and cheerful yet dignified music played. The elegantly dressed guests cheered.

Lilith leaned against the terrace railing, watching the young man and woman embracing and kissing under the watchful eyes of everyone at the grand ceremony in the hall, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"Aren't you going to say hello to your uncle? You've been in the capital for a few years, have you forgotten all your manners? Hahahaha."

A loud, hearty laugh reached her ears. Lilith turned around, following the sound, and Gordon appeared before her, holding a stemmed glass filled with deep red wine. His neat, short, brown hair was streaked with white in the sunlight.

"There's no need. It's enough that you're here, Father. I was just dragged here to make up the numbers anyway."

Lilith smiled relaxedly, casually tucking a strand of long hair behind her ear. After a moment of silence, her brows furrowed slightly as she gazed at the scene inside the hall. "Father," she said, "it suddenly occurred to me that perhaps I too will face such a day..."

"Really? I'm really looking forward to it."

Gordon gently stretched out his arms and put his arm around Lilith's shoulder, intending to quietly enjoy this long-awaited time together between father and daughter.

Before long, Lilith gently pushed Gordon's arm away, turned around, and leaned against the railing.

Is it the engagement ceremony with His Highness Halfas?

A mature yet handsome young man in a white tuxedo came to mind...

As the music began to play, he gentlemanly took her hand, knelt on one knee, and gazed at her with deep affection...

“I’m sorry, it’s not that I don’t like Lilith, it’s just…” He lowered his head and said in a somber tone, “…I always think of Violet…”

She paused for a moment, then quickly replied:

“It’s alright, Prince Halfas has already done his best.”

Lilith shook her head, no longer fantasizing about her engagement to Prince Halphas, and muttered to herself, "Forget it, now is not the time to think about such things."

She turned to observe the newlyweds in the hall, and the voice of the host reached her ears.

"Did you hear what Uncle said, Father?"

Gordon scratched his head in confusion. "We're sending Alice's fiancé to La Noah Magic University, what's wrong?"

Looking at the newlyweds, and recalling her own and Halphas's predicament, Lilith felt a chill run down her spine and sneered:

"Hmph, when the male protagonist returns after completing his studies, the female protagonist will have also learned to be gentle. What a touching story!"

After a few cold words, Lilith immediately calmed down and thought for a moment before saying:

"It's a real pity that I couldn't attend my grandfather's funeral and meet Rudius. He must be the child prodigy who transformed Alice from a red monkey princess into a lady in just three years."

Gordon was completely confused. He touched his nose and asked in bewilderment, "Back then, when you visited the Dragon Kingdom with Prince Halphas, you didn't have a chance to meet him. Now you finally have a chance, but I don't see any intention of meeting him at all."

"Now is not the time to meet. I have a feeling that Alice will be sent to the capital soon. I heard that she already has the strength to break through to the Saint level of the Sword God style. In a few years, she will probably reach the King level and will also hold an important position in the capital. When Rudeus returns from Lanoa, he may be a King-level or even Emperor-level magician. In addition, people like Sword King Kyrie are also in the Boreas family. By then, the Boreas family will probably be a completely different story."

"Is there any way to deal with this?" Gordon frowned. If the Boreas family were allowed to rise to power so easily, it would definitely not be a good thing for either the second prince, Halfas, or the other three major families in the Grerat family.

"There's no need to rush this matter. I'm going back to the capital first. Father, you should stay here quietly."

Lilith waved her hand and disappeared from Gordon's sight.
