Chapter 47: Farewell I
The King's Road, the widest road in King Randall, is lined with countless buildings. And in one of the beautifully and elegantly decorated coffee houses, little Lori was looking at the girl sitting opposite.
"I'm sorry, Leah. But I don't think they're innocent, even if they're your students. β
The knight girl in civilian clothes put down the coffee in her hand and shook her head lightly.
"But Leona, you can't blindly classify all vampires as sinners, I'm their professor, and I know they're good boys. β
After Leah came to the royal city, she first found the knight girl who was also here, in order to restore her student's innocence.
"I'm sorry, but those who break the taboo are unforgivable, this is a continent-wide rule, you shouldn't not understand. β
However, this seems to be of little use, and Leona is completely unsympathetic to it.
"Oh, my dear Leona, where is your tolerance?"
Leah asked, frustrated.
"Wake up, Leah. Since I was a child, I have dreamed of becoming a knight, and justice is a knight's virtue. If my tolerance must be used to tolerate injustice, I will already be your enemy in that rebellion. β
Leona replied.
"So, is it true that because of that rebellion, because of that man's death, you became like this?"
Leah said bitterly.
"Do you think what I'm doing is wrong?"
Leona didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.
"I can't accuse you of doing something wrong, but it's ...... Leona, I also have a hard time believing that you are on the right path. β
Leah shook her head.
"I can't accept your answer, Leah. If you don't know, then I can answer you - what I did was right. Justice must be enforced, even if it means killing. β
Leona stood up, then continued:
"Time is running out and I have to get out of here.
By the way, Leah, if you find your students. Please don't shield them. β
With that, the girl left the money on the table and walked out of the cafΓ©.
"Oh no. This is not the Leona I know. β
Leah looked out the window at the girl who was drifting away, and felt a lot of grief in her heart.
There was a moment when she wanted to say to the knight maidenβ"There is no doubt that what you are doing is wrong. However, Leah had a vague sense that this would make the girl face her sword.
[That's the only thing she insists, I can't say it so easily.] γ
Righteousness, Leah didn't know what the meaning of such an abstract thing was. However, she understands that it is the only remaining dependence in Leona's heart, and denying Leona's justice is like denying the knight girl herself.
So she could only watch the girl leave.
After that, she stood up and left the shop with the same coffee money on the table.
Little Lori is definitely not here just to persuade Leona, but has something more important - today is the day of Isha's accession to the throne.
Looking at the King's Road, which was dotted with flowers, the pain in Leah's heart eased a little.
"It's almost time. I'll go to my father, too. β
The enthronement ceremony was scheduled to begin at noon, and Leona had left to prepare for this. And Leah also needs to dress up.
So she returned to the lodgings provided by the royal city for the nobles, where Duke Brown was waiting. Because of the relationship between the northern orcs, Karen has no time to come to the royal city, as for Eve...... The poor old duke seemed to be completely helpless about his second daughter's naΓ―ve and loose character, so he gave up treatment completely.
"Try this new dress, Leah. You're the princess's most trusted girl. At today's enthronement ceremony, we must pay attention to our image. β
The old duke took out a lot of new clothes, and let the maids compare and play on the little Lori.
"It is Princess Isabella who will ascend the throne today, but one day in the future, you will surely take the scepter of House Fareen from my hands. For this reason, you should make friends with the nobles of the kingdom now. Lay the foundation for future power. β
The old duke unabashedly told Leah that she would be the heir to the family. If you put it in a novel about fighting for power and dominating the world, Leah is undoubtedly the biggest winner in life.
Unfortunately, however, the girl understands that the main theme of this world will be the goddess saving the world, and she is right at the center of the maelstrom.
[Oh, I'm sorry, dear father.] γ
Leah couldn't explain it, and she didn't know how to explain it, and when Isa was over on the throne, she would leave for the Duchy of Federro, leaving the family affairs of the Farains behind completely.
[But if I stay, I'll hurt you.] γ
Leah was well aware that this would disappoint the old duke, but there was no guarantee that Brotham would reach out to the Fareen family in order to deal with Leah.
Although she looks cold without saying goodbye, Lori believes that this kind of external performance will make all the goddess's enemies think that the goddess does not care about her family, and it will be pointless to threaten Leah with the Fareen family. This kind of disguise is perfect, especially in the eyes of outsiders, since going to Ed Nihua, she and the old duke really haven't gotten along much.
"Okay, I guess that's it. What do you think?"
When Leah came out of the locker room again, she was wearing a plain white gown with gold threads and flowers. The old duke looked at Leah's dress, elegant and noble, and not so that he would steal the limelight from the princess, so he nodded with satisfaction.
"Listen to you in everything, my dear father. β
Little Lori lifted the skirt and turned it around elegantly, and the skirt bloomed like a white rose under the action of centrifugal force, fascinating everyone present.
"You will be the most charming of the feast today, my dear daughter. β
The old man stood up, clapped his hands and said.
"You have forgotten Princess, my dear father. β
Little Lori playfully stuck out her tongue.
"From the standpoint of the nobility, the princess is the pride of the kingdom, the treasure of the kingdom, and the most beautiful and moving star at the ball.
But from the father's point of view, you will always be the most beautiful and the best, my daughter. β
The old duke stood up and replied with a smile.
"Really, my dear father?"
Leah put her little hands behind her back, stood on tiptoe, like an elegant and noble kitten, smiled playfully, and came to the old duke and tilted her little head.
"It's true. β
So the old duke also tilted his head and replied in a mischievous tone.
"So...... In order to make me believe your words - a hug. β
Leah opened her arms and said coquettishly to her father.
"Really, it's still a child's temper, and it should be more ladylike. β
The old duke took his daughter in his arms, used his age, stroked her head with his thin and rough palm, and said dotingly.
"Hey, hey......"
And Leah also rubbed the old man's palm coquettishly, immersed in a moment of warmth before parting. (To be continued.) )
