"Father, you should take my word for it, Orlan is not wrong in this matter. It's the mad careerist of Thor Lund who is at fault, and he and the Cult he brings with him complicate the affairs of the undead. Don't you see how this damn guy would dare to sneak up on you in plain sight, but luckily he's too dead to die. And Oran, it was he who saved you. ”

Lillian looked at the Marquis sitting behind the table, and she felt that she should do something for Oran, whether she would have to keep him in prison for the rest of her life.

"Hmph, that's why I put this kid in prison, otherwise I could have executed him according to the laws of the Empire. Lillian you know how much pressure we are under to maintain the status quo, and the cavalry of the White Cult should have brought this out of this city long ago. And then what? Are we waiting for more White Legions to come to war with us, or are we waiting for the Emperor's pronouncement on our Arnos? You know, the moths of the Empire wish they had an opportunity to fan the flames. ”

With a sigh, the Marquis stood up and turned around, and continued to say to Lilian, "We...... You must also face enemies in the shadows, not just the undead. Now Sutton Lear, no, the entire northern border has internal and external troubles, surrounded by strong enemies, and more dangers hidden in the invisible darkness. We don't know from where a knife will stick. ”

"I know all this, but when have we, as Anos, ever been afraid of these villains, in the open and in the dark, this is not our style, why can't we take the initiative to solve all the problems? How long will we have to give in? Obviously you are so powerful. Lillian was indignant, she would never make any compromises or concessions because of the strength and insidiousness of her enemies.

"Powerful? Powerful doesn't belong to us...... That's why Anos can only be a bulwark to the north, and Blade has to hide. I thought I had few enemies in the North, but I almost died under the sword. Maybe your friends are also strong, but we can't guarantee that everyone around us is strong enough, and we will always lose the lives of others because of our own conceit. ”

The Marquis's strong words gradually weakened, and probably no one but Lilian could ever see him so peacefully. Lillian knew that it was probably her father, the Marquis, who remembered his wife, Lilian's mother...... And maybe that person.

On the day she returned to Sutton Lear, Lillian told the Marquis that her brother William might have been killed in battle, and he didn't say much. The silent marquis seemed to be a towering mountain frozen in ice, standing there dreary and daunting.

Does he still care about William? In the past, whenever he heard anything about William, he would scold everyone and shut everyone up like a crazy man, and the word William had almost become taboo and not mentioned.

But this time, he didn't have a word of rebuke or abuse. After a long silence, a simple "I understand" quietly passed by......

Lilian couldn't help but ask him if he wasn't sad about William's death at all, and he was stunned for a long time. Just to say Sutton Lear, it's enough to have Lillian. Indeed, he was not just the Marquis of Sutton Lear, he was also William's father.

The prodigal playboy William Anos was single-mindedly determined to be an actor jumping on stage for free spins, and he didn't do it. Later, because of his mother's death, his sister Lilian's cruel and unfair experience finally made him "prodigal son". He became his most hated knight, with his hated rust-smelling sword and sweat-soaked armor, and he was finally determined to take on everything he was supposed to bear for his family.

If he succeeds in returning, then he will surely become the protagonist of the minstrel novel biography on a white horse, whether it is his tortuous life experience or heroic and righteous deeds, it will become a legendary classic that the poet will sing in his mouth. And there is no need to worry that the poets are lacking in words and descriptions are not vivid enough...... But he died, and it turned out that he was not the main character, and the group shook their heads and dispersed.

So the story of his life came to an end.

……

Lillian's decision to let Orlan go, a selfish decision to force Orlan to leave.

"Go ahead, it's better to go back to the depths of your mountains and be a savage than to be a prisoner now." Lillian opened the cell door and stood in front of Oran and said coldly.

"Lillian, are you still angry? You must know that a scholar once said that if a woman is angry, she will age quickly. Oran replied boredly as he lay in this "luxurious single room" with his head crossed and his legs crossed.

“…… Can you spit out the straw in your mouth and then stand up and have a good talk with me! "Lillian is getting tired of this guy, and she knows it's better to come back in the evening, even if some people don't care about gossiping.

Recently, it has been rumored all over the city that the reason why this wild boy who came out of the mountains was not executed was mainly because Miss Lillian took a fancy to him and wanted him to be Sutton Lear's son-in-law.

The hearts of those who had just calmed down began to be impetuous, but it was better to turn the world's attention to this kind of aristocratic gossip than to their cranky thoughts for a day. Therefore, for the purpose of contributing to social stability, the Marquis did not make any statement.

Of course, all of the above is Orlan's nonsense, and he has taken a lot of trouble to explain to Yulia what "gossip" is.

"Okay, my young lady, if there is anything that can help you, I will never give up." The Orlan character during the day has completely collapsed, and he is now as much a "gentleman" as he is in his body and that mouth.

"What I'm saying is, you can go, don't stay in Sutton Lear." Lilian clenched her fists and felt the urge to pound someone.

"Oh no! Lillian, are you trying to drive me away? What did I do wrong, I swear that my heart for you will be clear to the sun and the moon, and my love for you will not change in this life. The world slanders me, insults me, despises me, and laughs at me. I should bear with him, let him, and avoid ......."

Bang!

"Die!" Lilian couldn't take it anymore and jumped up and punched Orlan Tian in the shameless old face, because Oran was taller than her. If it were Orlan in the past, this large-scale confession might make Lilian's heart melt immediately.

But why did these words completely change the taste when they came out of the mouth of the cheap-looking Oran, and his originally cold and handsome face also made people want to do it directly at this moment!

"Uh......h Lilian was discovered by you, and I did promise Yulia to accompany her to the ends of the earth in the future, and to see the prosperity of this world. But I will protect you for the rest of my life, and I swear that from now on no one will hurt you from now on, up to the Temple of the Gods, down to the Abyss and Hell. ”

"Enough! I'll come back to see you in the evening. ”

Bang! The cell door was closed again.

"Lillian, don't go. Don't go......" There was only one fool left in the cell howling.
