Chapter 109: The blood-front general of the symphony
It was already the end of November. The rose palace was decorated with frozen green branches and leaves, and the top of the courtyard was covered with white snow. The garden that used to compete with each other is now snow-white, and you can hear the sound of water droplets from the eaves from time to time.
Lily was sitting in the study at this moment, with a brazier next to her, emitting warm red heat. Although there are magic circles and facilities to keep the temperature in the palace, she is still used to such flames, which makes people feel a faint warmth, rather than facing the cold and unchanging decorations around her.
Putting an orange next to the brazier, Lily shook the cradle beside her and watching her child sleep peacefully, she felt much happier. I remember that when she was a child, she sat around the stove with her family, talking about the happy things they encountered.
Although he was born in a noble family, the Lily family was not a big noble family, but an ordinary small noble family. The family's fiefdom was only a small piece and could only support two knights. The most valuable of them was the grape manor on the plain at the foot of the mountain.
Relying on the brewed wine, the family can earn a stable income every year. On the winter festival, the father will buy various gifts for his brothers and sisters.
Compared with those large family ladies who were restricted, Lily's life was much easier when she was a child, because she was the smallest and was taken care of by several older brothers and sisters. She did not bear any high expectations and heavy responsibilities.
In my father's words, as long as she grows up and gets married, it's fine.
Several brothers did their careers at home, and some family relationships were maintained or established. Several of her sisters had completed them, and they all lived well, so they didn’t have any worries. When she was a child, she often visited her brother-in-law’s houses, traveled everywhere, and saw the scenery, which broadened her horizons.
It made Lily neither eager for power and status like the children of the endangered nobles, nor full of fantasies and excessive expectations for the outside world like those young ladies who have been in the deep boudoir for a long time.
Well, there is no big pursuit anyway. Lily has always lived a life like a salty fish, and she doesn't have too high expectations, which is very satisfied.
It’s a pity that reality is developing too fast. During the two or three years of marriage to Emank, she often woke up from her dreams, wondering if everything was true.
I am just the daughter of a small rural noble in the south of the empire. Why did I suddenly become the highest-ranking queen of the empire? What exactly happened?
Sitting next to the quietly burning brazier, Lily shook the sleeping basket gently, her eyes following the flames, and she missed the figures that passed.
"Your Majesty, Sifleien is here." A maid in the study reminded softly in the queen's ear.
"Well, let him come in." Lily sorted out the folds on her clothes a little, and then sat on the wooden chair next to the brazier to wait.
After a while, the maid nudged the door, and then a man wearing military boots walked to the door, saluted first, and then saw the queen and cradle in the room, then slowed down his voice and introduced his identity.
"Hello your Majesty and His Highness the Prince. I am the commander of the 56th Legion of the Empire, Sifley, and I am very honored to be able to meet you."
"Come in, junior Sifry." Lily smiled and waved.
Then the officer came to the room and was a little restrained for a moment. He didn't know whether to stand or sit, even though the maid had already put on the chair intimately.
"It's better to sit down, so I'll be tired of talking to you." Lily looked at Sifley and calmed down.
"Yes, your Majesty." The commander of the legion sat down with some excitement.
"Call you in a busy time, and I don't know if it's disturbing your work." Lily asked the maid to serve the officer hot tea.
"Thank you, I was not disturbed, but very honored." He took the teacup and placed it carefully on the coffee table in front of him.
Sifry once studied in Emmenas and was also a student of the City Academy. After Lorain and Bumansha graduated one after another, Lily, a veteran of the club, briefly served as president for two years.
Although she felt that she was far inferior to Lorrain and Bumansha, fortunately, the foundation of the club had been established and she could just maintain it simply. And this junior, Sifry, was the rookie genius from the City Village Academy in those two years, won the third place in the Winter Festival Gala.
"I am very grateful to Senior Lily for being able to enter the club and gave me a lot of help." Sifley recalled the past and said with emotion that although he was a genius, he started too late. In addition, he was a low-level identity. He has always been a marginal figure in the city school with many nobles.
It was not until later that he joined the "Black Water Lily" club that he was recognized by many classmates in the same hospital and gained rare experience exchanges, exchanges, extraordinary potions, etc. It was also during those two years that his strength grew rapidly and he became famous at the Winter Festival Gala.
Although some senior students have an average attitude towards President Lily, in his heart, this senior sister has always been a respectable person.
"It's all a thing in the past, and your own efforts are inseparable from it." Lily shook her head and said what Lolan once said to the members of the club. She had no experience at that time, and many methods and words were imitating the notes left by Lolan.
"Actually, I'm asking you to come this time because I hope you can get your help." Lily said slowly as the topic.
"I am willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty the Queen." Hearing this, Severey stood at attention, and because the sound was too loud, the children in the cradle were also awakened.
"Be good, it's okay." Lily whispered to her child, then gestured to let Sifry sit down first.
"In fact, it is indeed a dangerous and difficult task." Seeing that the child stabilized, Lily asked the maid beside her to continue shaking the cradle, and then turned around and talked to Sifry.
"Because the current situation has changed a lot, I need a group of loyal people to defend the Rose Palace."
"Don't rush to agree. I want to tell you that this task may face many dangers, and sometimes it may implicate you because of my identity." Lily explained in advance.
"I understand." Sifry also nodded calmly at this time. He was not a passionate young man. After experiencing military training, he naturally also keenly noticed the changes in the empire today.
When the emperor was still alive, the only person of loyalty to the legion was naturally Emperor Aimerk, but after His Majesty Aimerk passed away, this faced a big problem. The prince was too young and was still more than ten years before he inherited the throne. At this time, was he a loyal queen who was still loyal to the weak, or obeyed the orders of the Regent, another His Highness who should have been on the throne.
The Regent is undoubtedly higher than His Majesty's Queen in terms of strength and trust, but people are different from others. He graduated from Emmenas and was once a member of the "Black Water Lily" community, so he was naturally labeled as Queen Lily.
Instead of escaping from this label, it is better to embrace this identity and become His Majesty’s loyal gangster.
There are not so many options to choose from in the world, and Sifry undoubtedly embarked on the only optional path, and he will also strive to protect the Queen and the Prince to truly become the ruler of the empire, and he will also reach the peak of his life in this process.
"So, I'll feel at ease." Looking at the Legion Commander who vowed allegiance in front of him, Lily pressed her chest lightly with her fingers to express her reassurance.
"Before the end of the year, you and your army will be transferred to the vicinity of Titania, and I'll trouble you at that time."
"The star of the empire, the 'Jianging Blood Front General' His Excellency Sifley."
After this, the rare Demon Sequence 7 extraordinary person in the empire slowly retreated.
