Baker lowered his head and stood ramrod straight. "I'm sorry, Miss Lilith."
"In that case, we'll tell the ghost next time. Get rid of the person in charge of intelligence. I don't need a useless dog."
"Yes."
Lilith's sharp gaze swept over the corpse on the ground, and she sighed, "That Rudius, I tried my best to get rid of him within the country, but he only lost an arm. I didn't expect that Gravel would come to deliver the scroll. It's really a case of fate not working out."
She walked a few steps absentmindedly, then went to the window, gazing at the swirling snowflakes, a hint of unease on her face.
"However, His Highness Halfas's actions are far too radical. I hope he won't get into trouble."

Chapter 145: Side Story (VI) Submitting to Someone Else
……
The north wind howled, snowflakes fluttered, and the horses walked heavily on the snow, their steps uneven, their cries pierced by the gusts of cold wind.
The knight commander lightly kicked the horse's belly, walked up to Lilith, and said:
“Miss Lilith, I understand your plan, but I think His Highness Halfas might find it hard to accept at first.”
"The poor horse is freezing."
Lilith gently patted the horse's neck and stroked its mane tenderly. "A king must know how to make choices, and he must not let a woman throw him off balance."
"But...I'm worried that His Highness Halfas might..."
“I am also worried, but I believe in His Highness Halfas. He will not only pull through, but also seize the opportunity to launch an offensive.”
After saying that, Lilith gave the Knight Commander a smile, but it wasn't a genuine smile; it was a bitter smile to hide her true feelings.
The knight commander looked at the carriage behind him, unsure of what to say. Before leaving the country, his orders were to assist Lilith in killing Rudeus, and just a few days ago was the closest he had come to killing Rudeus. He didn't understand.
Why was the order received after meeting with Lilith to protect Rudeus? If it's because Lilith has a sense of national responsibility and doesn't want Rudeus, an Asura nobleman, to die at the hands of foreign forces, that would be understandable.
But when they met Rudeus, he had already lost an arm and defeated the armed forces of the Duchy of Basilante. He was lying unconscious in the carriage. If they didn't kill Rudeus then, when would they have the chance?
Later, Lilith not only healed Rudeus with the intercepted King-level healing scroll, but also offered herself to Rudeus after he killed his own teacher.
Even more outrageous, after Lilith asked him to return to the Kingdom of Asura, he spread rumors that she had an affair with Rudeus.
If, as Prince Halphas instructed before their departure, Lilith came to kill Rudeus in order to prevent the rise of the Boreas family, then her current decision is completely contrary to Prince Halphas's idea.
The Lilith I knew would never do such a thing.
Unless, Lilith has betrayed us!
The sudden thought caused the knight commander to break out in a cold sweat. He gripped his sword, realizing that now would be the perfect moment to kill Lilith, who had betrayed Prince Halphas.
The moment the knight commander was about to draw his sword, he was caught in a moment of confusion. Could an ordinary person possibly suspect Miss Lilith's scheme? If something went wrong, he would never be able to explain it to Prince Halphas.
Just to be on the safe side, let's test her first.
The knight commander removed his hand from the sword hilt and placed it back on the reins.
“Miss Lilith, you…”
The knight commander was stunned. Lilith had already noticed his movements. He was stared at by Lilith's deep eyes, her gaze piercing. The words he was about to say were swallowed back down.
Are you doubting me, Commander Knight?
The words were sharp and incisive, and the knight commander immediately felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Do not……"
"No? Then don't overthink it, just do as I say."
After saying that, Lilith dismounted and entered the carriage behind.
Half a day later, soft moans could be heard coming from inside the carriage.
……
"Where is this?"
In the darkness, Lilith looked around in confusion. In this empty, dark space that was like a barrier, apart from feeling the weight of her feet on the ground, all other senses seemed to have disappeared.
After an unknown amount of time, a sliver of light finally appeared before her. She involuntarily walked towards that light. The blinding light magnified in her pupils, and the tiny point of light released a powerful gravitational pull, like a black hole, swallowing everything around it and forming a white vortex. An inexplicably intense feeling of compression distorted everything. Was that pain? It didn't seem so; it was an indescribable feeling. Suddenly, everything became nothingness, and then, everything turned white.
In the blank space, there was the silhouette of a little girl. Lilith recognized her: a blue openwork dress, waist-length hair, and a face exactly like her own.
But she only looked about seven or eight years old; she was Violet…
“Violet? You…”
"Lilith, you did a great job."
A voice, completely different from the seven- or eight-year-old girl's figure, entered my mind. The voice was steady and dignified; it belonged to the princess.
"Mistress... Your Excellency..."
Lilith marveled in disbelief. Just then, the figure changed again, becoming a tall figure. Lilith hadn't met this figure many times, but he had already imprinted the figure deeply in her mind.
Lilith immediately knelt on one knee and said respectfully:
"Your subject Lilith greets Your Majesty."
The moment the words were spoken, the scene changed immediately.
In the height of summer, the green waters ripple, and royal pleasure boats glide across the lake, filled with song and dance.
This scene happened many years ago, and Lilith is now standing on the shore, gazing at the ornately decorated yacht. She remembers this scene; in no time, a figure will fall into the lake.
“What a show, Lilith.”
A powerful voice reached her ears, and Lilith instinctively knelt down on one knee towards the source of the voice.
"It's all thanks to His Majesty's ingenious arrangement; this servant was merely following orders."
Another voice came, very young, yet incredibly familiar. That voice belonged to Lilith herself.
Lilith looked up abruptly and saw a tall, imposing man standing before her. He wore a crown and a magnificent robe trimmed with gold. This was none other than the King of the Kingdom of Asura.
In front of the king was a girl kneeling on one knee, just like him. She had short brown hair and looked about seven or eight years old.
It was none other than myself.
"As a princess, she did not abide by palace rules, but instead colluded with nobles, formed cliques, and engaged in corrupt practices. Falling into the water was the best ending for her."
The king gazed at the pleasure boats on the lake and spoke in a calm tone.
"It took me twenty years to kill my wife and family with my own hands and still act as if nothing had happened."
Lilith nodded quietly as she listened to the king's words.
“And you, Lilith, possess qualities similar to mine.”
"Your Majesty...you mean..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lilith's face turned deathly pale. "Your Majesty! This servant has absolutely no intention of overstepping my bounds!"
"Ha, I didn't say that."
The king smiled slightly, bent down, and lifted Lilith's chin with his finger. "I want you to assist Halphas and guide him on the path to becoming king. Do everything in your power, even sacrifice yourself."
"Let me see the world of Halfas."
……
"Hu! Hu! Hu!"
Lilith sat bolt upright in shock. She looked around and grabbed a piece of clothing to cover herself. This was a student dormitory at La Noah Magic University, and next to her lay a naked man—Rudius Boreas Greirat.

……
"Lord Rudius, you can't ride a horse yet, can you?"
In the empty classroom, there were only Lilith and me. The weather was getting warmer, and the sunlight shone through the window, making me drowsy. Lilith turned her head to look at me, but I seemed not to hear a word she was saying.
My eyes were glued to the gap in her collar, as if I could see faint glimmers of light, within which the red spider lilies were in full bloom.
Upon noticing this, she immediately pulled her coat up slightly, and the light vanished, making the mandala flower seem almost within reach.
"Yes, no, it doesn't."
I shook my head and replied.
"Let's go horseback riding this afternoon."
Lilith said with a smile, and I stared at that smile, somewhat mesmerized…
It's been almost two months since I last slept with Lilith. Lilith is still the same. However, ever since I gave a vague answer when she asked me how I could take responsibility for her, we haven't had any physical intimacy.
She always refused with various excuses, such as her period or the inappropriate occasion. Although she was usually as affectionate as ever, she always refused when it came to the crucial moment. I, on the other hand, was like a wild monkey in heat, relentlessly pursuing her. In my past life, I once heard my mother say that the most important thing for girls is a sense of security. Perhaps she intended to give herself to me, but I was vague and ambiguous. This kind of thing probably made her feel insecure.
This period of time has allowed me to calm down. Regarding my suspicions about Lilith, I used to think that she might want to use me, ruin my engagement with Alice, and thwart Philip's plans, but that was just speculation.
Because she had an easier option, such as killing me and then returning to her country.
When she appeared before me with the guards of the second prince, Halphas, it was the easiest opportunity to kill me, but she didn't. I increasingly felt that I might be wrong.
At that time, she asked me how I could take responsibility for her. Looking back, I actually felt sorry for her. Maybe she just wanted to rely on me, and her goal wasn't necessarily the second prince...
I've seen similar situations in the past when playing online games and adult games, but this time I'm dealing with real people.
My mind is a bit muddled; I might just give up thinking someday.
"Lord Rudius?"
"Yes!"
I looked up and saw Lilith pointing out the classroom window, where a green head was looking at me—it was Hilfi.
Her long, emerald-green hair was styled into a neat ponytail at the back of her head, with wispy strands of hair in front of her forehead secured with hair clips. She looked every bit the capable student leader. Standing next to her, even though I was wearing a blue student council president uniform, she clearly had more of a president's aura.
"I'll teach Lord Rudeus how to ride a horse on my day off, don't break your promise!"
Lilith gently patted my shoulder twice, then got up and walked towards the door.
Hilfi's gaze at her was particularly piercing.
She walked to Silphie's side, casually touched Silphie's slender ears, and then left.
Hilfi glared at her mercilessly, pouting her cheeks like a hamster with its mouth full of food, making me especially want to pinch her cheeks.
She's been getting quite close to Mughal lately, but I don't really care because of work.
Speaking of which, a few days ago when I passed by the boys' dormitory building, I saw Mo Gaolei. He was standing in a corner downstairs, muttering something to himself, as if he was confessing his love to the air.
What would happen if Mulgore confessed his feelings to Sylphie?
I don't object to Sylphie accepting Mulgore, because if Sylphie were with me, it would likely harm her. Besides, it's obvious to everyone that Mulgore likes Sylphie; it's just that a young man's feelings are hard to hold onto, and I'm not sure how long that will last. If he actually succeeds in confessing, I might congratulate him. But if he dares to do something that hurts Sylphie, I might be prepared to kill him.
"Rudy, let's go have lunch together."
When I came to my senses, Hilfi was already standing in front of me. I got up from my seat, and she took my arm.
Walking to the cafeteria, I felt incredibly stiff. Could it be because Lilith is the one who usually holds my arm?
But ever since my last date with Silphie, she's become a regular on my arm. I should be used to it by now.
After entering the cafeteria, Hilfi and I bought our food and sat down facing each other, just an ordinary lunchtime.
"Balk has resigned, and the position of Minister of Studies is now vacant."
A familiar voice reached my ears; my ears are particularly sensitive to that timbre.
Lilith sat down next to me with her food and unceremoniously picked up the only chicken leg in my bowl and put it in her mouth.
Hilfi stared at her fiercely, a hint of murderous intent reflected in her wine-red eyes, and I immediately felt a chill run down my spine.
“That… Sylphie…”
"What's wrong? Are you planning to fill the ministerial vacancy, Miss Lilith?"
Just as I was about to try to dissuade her, Hilfi preemptively spoke up.
Lilith, not to be outdone, put down her chicken leg and pressed on aggressively:
