Evas was keenly aware that Lily was in a state of sadness and sorrow.

Her soul was in pain, as if she had been pricked with a needle and burned on fire.

But at the same time, Lily didn't cry, and she didn't look like she wanted to cry. On the contrary, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised...... It's like trying to laugh, but it's just an ugly laugh.

"What's wrong?"

Ivus asked in a whispered voice of concern.

Lily shook her head slightly, but did not speak.

She looked so tired that she didn't even have the strength to speak. The whole person is filled with a sense of decadence and frustration, empty, light, like a homeless little ghost.

"—Who are the antlers?"

Ivus soon realized that this was a problem with the antlers.

Lily was silent for a moment, then replied softly, "Minister Drost." ”

She didn't call him "that man" or "my real father" with mixed emotions like she used to be. Rather, it is called by its name coldly......

"—tell me about it."

Ivas pulled Lily to sit down by the lamp.

This ritual is only timed to one hour. And now it's been almost half an hour,

But he didn't rush to find the Holy Spear, or hunt down the remaining two—it was better to take care of his own people than to kill them all.

"Sadness, pain, hatred...... This kind of thing, like wine, will develop a mellower flavor over time. ”

Ivus said softly, "On the other hand, if you can taste it early and share it with others...... It's also a slightly tipsy sweetness. ”

He said......"

Lily was silent for a moment, but couldn't help but speak.

Because she also wanted to confide in people.

When chatting with Princess Isabel before, Her Royal Highness heard that Lily's biological father was Minister Drost, and she angrily scolded him. At that time, Lily was still whispering to comfort Her Royal Highness, while excusing her father.

It's just a lover, and at most it can only be regarded as a matter of personal morality.

But when you give birth to an illegitimate child, this situation is different.

Bastards are dishonorable to the entire family and are very troublesome.

If an illegitimate child is accepted, it means that the head of the family may prefer the child, and the inheritance of the family property by the illegitimate child is unfair to the children who live in the family in the first place. From an outsider's point of view, the lineage of this family will also become impure as a result.

And in fact, illegitimate children do have the right to inherit. As a result, there will also be fierce quarrels in the family...... This often represents the arrival of chaos and the end of family affection.

But if you don't accept the illegitimate child, let him be undisciplined outside and be ashamed - even if the illegitimate child does not inherit the family name, he will be counted as a member of the family by other well-intentioned people by default, and will attack the family as a bullet of public opinion.

As long as an illegitimate child is born, it does not matter where it is...... It will only bring chaos and stains to the family.

And as an illegitimate child, he is also very pitiful. First of all, they themselves are innocent and completely innocent......

However, if they join the family, they will be looked down upon and bullied. If they are outcast, they are also easily lured by their own political enemies to do some bad things, and use them to attack the family that abandoned them; Even if they work hard and have superior abilities, their success through their own efforts will be regarded as "favor due to the other half of the bloodline".

However, Princess Isabella did not know that it was not the illegitimate children of other ministers. Instead, they all stripped their illegitimate children of their surnames and sent them to other families as servants.

This is not uncommon. Because these illegitimate children are forbidden to publicize their origins, it is difficult to find out where the illegitimate children ended up being sent unless they were questioned face-to-face.

Because of this, at that time, Lily still wanted to argue for Minister Drost...... Because she was doing well in the Moriarty family. Old Moriarty was very kind to her, and acquiesced in her reading; And the young master Eivas, who she grew up with is also very sensible and gentle, and is even willing to ask Her Royal Highness the princess for an additional place to study for her wishes.

When Princess Isabel rebuked Minister Drost, Lily felt that he was not so bad—it was because her father had chosen a good family for her that she was now able to live a stable and happy life. You don't have to be intrigued with other people, you don't have to be looked down upon, and you don't have to be bullied.

…… But now, Lily finds out that this is not arranged by old Drost.

After Lily has become Ivus's personal maid, she is actually half "Moriarty"; But Minister Drost still cared about the fact that she would come out to school and show her face, and even asked the Assassins to kill her despite the face of the Moriarty family, just to prevent her illegitimate identity from being exposed and causing trouble for herself.

This means that the relationship between the Droost family and the Moriarty family is not so good.

In other words, the preferential treatment he received in the Moriarty family was not because of his father's face. It's just the people she met in the Moriarty family.

It chilled Lily's heart.

- His own father killed his mother and now wants to murder himself. And I still have mixed emotions for him, mixed with some hatred, some gratitude, some curiosity, some grievance, and some yearning...... And now, these emotions have all been transformed into killing intent.

She thanked the wrong person. The person who is truly worthy of thanks, the only person who is worthy of repayment, has always been in front of his eyes.

It's ridiculous. She also thought that her father had feelings for her.

“…… That's right. ”

After listening to Lily's narration, Ivus nodded slightly.

"I'll help you with this, let me think about ......"

He pondered for a long time, then replied softly, "I won't let him be promoted...... But you don't make a move. Now that you have become a 'gray-green' subordinate in his opinion, and have taken his order to kill, then keep quiet and don't let him be suspicious. So that you can be in a safer situation.

"Within a month, he must die.

"If you can't do it outside, leave it to me. I'll kill him for you. But if you want to do it yourself, then I'll leave you with the last chance to execute him.

"In any case, it is inhumane to order a child to kill her father with his own hands; But if the child spontaneously avenges for the murdered mother and fights back for the imminent murder of himself, then this is justified.

"But no matter what, I'll protect you. You're more or less raised by the Moriarty family. Since you can't be 'Drost', let's do 'Moriarty'. You also know that the adoptive father is suspected to be dead now...... Whether it's me or Edward's successor family, I'll give you the last name 'Moriarty'. ”

Instead of saying anything like "cry if you want to", Ivus said seriously: "Also, don't cry...... That man doesn't deserve your tears for him.

"If you can't help it, just laugh. Not to cry for the past, but to laugh for the future. ”

At this, Eivas suddenly thought of the poem made by Prince Lloyd, and he recited it softly:

"One day I will break free from the shackles of lead;

"I will rise with the smoke, free as the wind;

"I will have a shining day, as bright as the stars, as bright as the moonlight......"

He felt that this poem was perfectly suited for Lily at this moment.

The spy on her fate will be removed, and she will be free.

One day, she will rise and shine her light.

Not as "Drost's illegitimate son", but as "Lily" herself.

Ivas looked at Lily and said earnestly, "You should rejoice in such a future and laugh out loud. If there are still worries, it can only be because revenge has not yet been completed.

"—So, don't be afraid. I am with you. ”

With that, he slowly stood up and moved his body slightly.

Lily also stood up with him, silently retreating into the shadows.

They talked for nearly fifteen minutes, and the ceremony was only about a third of the time.

But Ivas wasn't nervous in the slightest.

"Let's not go find the Holy Spear yet."

Ivas gave a decision: "Let's go and help you collect some interest first-

—Shadow Fiend, lead the way. I'm going to kill someone. ”

"Ho Ho ......"

For some reason, Shadow Fiend used his hoarse and deep voice in front of Lily again: "Such a luscious vengeance, such fresh flesh and blood...... You finally have a chance to show your fangs and show off the evil of your nature.

"I would love to, my host. I will ...... for you Slaughter. I'm going to kill all the time for you - kill everyone. ”
