Chapter 953
The roaring air flowed across the sides of the hull and Lilian’s mood was as though the warm, dazzling sunlight reflecting off the golden hull.
“Lalala… How’s it, Sonia? I told you so, right? Those parliament idiots can’t stop me as long as I get the invitation!”
The little girl sitting on the throne rocked her legs and seemed so lively and anxious like she was about to go on a picnic with her family. Even though this behavior was normal for her age, it seemed pretty inappropriate for the situation.
“You’re right, Your Majesty.”
Sonia responded with a smile. Of course, as a parliament member, she knew that the situation wasn’t as simple as Lilian thought. In fact, she didn’t expect the Country of Law had this much influence where even the Light Parliament couldn’t stop their emissaries from inviting Lilian to the ceremony. As a result, the parliament could only agree to the invitation and the main reason was because the ceremony was held in the Country of Law and not the Country of Light. It wouldn’t influence the people of the Country of Light too much. If not, they wouldn’t have accepted the invitation so straightforwardly.
But even so, Sonia clearly knew that the parliament had no intention of wasting this chance. She was aware that the parliament had sent their representatives to the Country of Law and planned to publicly confront Rhode about his violence and indiscriminate slaughter of their border army. Sonia just couldn’t figure out why the parliament was so daring. They were tormented by Rhode for a long time so hadn’t they understood that he wouldn’t fall into their trap? Moreover, the confrontation would be happening at a ceremony hosted by the Country of Law. Weren’t they afraid that this would cause dissatisfaction in the Country of Law?
Well… Forget it. Since I’m not the one doing the confrontation.
Sonia smiled at this thought. She poured the piping hot milk tea for the little girl in front of her. Back then, Sonia was concerned that the parliament would make her in charge of the confrontation. But now, since someone was willing to take the initiative and die in her place, she would gladly accept it.
But things weren’t as plain sailing, at least from what Sonia knew.
Even though Sonia followed Rhode’s orders and stirred as much trouble as possible among the humans of the internal department and external non-humans and successfully created several riots, it still was far from enough. Although the parliament faced a lot of challenges, the election managed to continue and the new chairman would soon be elected.
Before Boulder finished his sentence, Lydia interrupted.
“Oh, you’re also aware that humans are greedy, Boulder? So why didn’t you and Serene do anything about that? You should be clearer than me about Her Majesty’s treatment in the Country of Light, so did either of you fulfill your responsibilities as guardians? As Her Majesty’s subjects, what have you done before pointing fingers at someone else? Why would Her Majesty trust an outsider instead of any of you?”
The melodious sound of harp stopped abruptly.
The boundless silence enveloped the cabin. Lydia sat on the sofa languidly and yet, seemed so incomparably solemn. After a few moments, Serene eradicated the awkward atmosphere.
“… We weren’t sure if she had the right to be served by us.”
“No matter how many years have gone or how many changes one has experienced, earth will always be earth, sky will always be sky, and the sun will always be sun. Why? Could it be that both of you intend to continue waiting upon my lord to affirm her powers? The lord possesses dragon soul powers, or perhaps I’ve received the wrong knowledge?”
“But she…”
“We’re not discussing Her Majesty’s problems. We’re talking about ours.”
Lydia airily waved her hand before staring at the two archangels.
“No matter how blunt the talons of the eagle soaring in the sky are, it will never team up with jackals and wolves.”
Lydia closed her eyes.
“At the very least, I will do my best in my duties. So what will the both of you do?”
