Chapter 51 Little Cake

In the room on the high tower, the curtains blew from time to time in the night wind, and there was a rolling sound.

The books spread out on the table, the pages turning in the wind, also made a rustling sound, decorating the quiet room.

As the person with the highest nominal status in the empire, Red Queen Lily was sitting at the table in a daze, looking out the window at the lights of the imperial capital.

She is not the kind of girl who particularly loves reading and learning, but now that she is isolated and helpless, she can only look to books to find possible answers.

After the sudden death of Emperor Edelman, many powers that originally belonged to the emperor were transferred to her. But this kind of power is like beautiful glassware. Although it looks good, it is also extremely fragile.

People dare not disobey the supreme emperor, but when faced with this young queen who has no background, strength, or even qualifications, some contempt is inevitable.

If it is an order that the ministers think is appropriate, they may obey it, but if it is an order that they think is not appropriate or there is no strong reason, they will express their doubts. Although this is not a direct resistance to the order, if Nolili cannot give a reasonable explanation, they will continue to struggle with it, and even violate it.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late."

In the room illuminated by candlelight, a maid in black and white uniform came in softly to remind the frail queen.

Lily was shocked at first, but then slowly calmed down after seeing this familiar figure.

"It turns out to be Wen Na." This head maid was appointed by Edelman before his death. She has been following Edelman for a long time, so there is no need to worry about being a loyal confidant.

"Some can't sleep."

Lily stood up and walked to the window sill nearby to feel the night breeze. She was wearing a red and pink nightgown, and she had a faint sense of grace.

"His Royal Highness Edron is coming back soon."

"Although he is Your Majesty's brother, facing the temptation of the throne, it is difficult for me to fully trust him and I am extremely worried." Lily expressed her thoughts.

"But now he is the regent. Even I have no reason to prevent him from entering the imperial capital. And if he doesn't come, maybe Feiting and I will be in more danger." Lily now also roughly knows that many old nobles in the imperial capital have no respect for the deceased. The emperor was dissatisfied.

"Then your Majesty, please try to trust His Highness Edron. In fact, I have served the two Highnesses since I was a child, and I believe that His Highness Edlen is not the kind of cold-blooded person." The head maid comforted softly.

"I know this is the only way, but the uneasiness in my heart is not so easy to control." Lily shook her head.

"Leave me alone for a little while longer."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Seeing this, the head maid could only quietly exit the room and continue to guard the door.

The room became quiet again. Lily sighed, sat down at the table, raised her head and looked at the letters on the table. Among them were letters from nobles expressing their following, and letters from generals expressing their loyalty. Although they were all words of loyalty and praise, Lily didn't know much about these people and had never even met many of them. It was difficult for her to tell how many of them were sincere and how many were just to gain their trust. .

After Edelman ascended the throne, he supported a large number of military nobles, who were loyal supporters of the new emperor. Originally, even if Edelman died, they would support Edelman's descendants to ascend the throne. It's a pity that everything happened so suddenly. Edelman and Lily's child has just turned one year old, and there is still an unknown number of years to wait before he ascends to the throne. Lily is weak and weak, and Prince Edron is in the prime of his youth and health. state.

According to the past legal principles of the empire, he should have ascended to the throne, and he was Edelman's brother. Now that Edelman has passed away, it is easy for him to inherit the throne. Even the strict and conservative old-school nobles can't fault him.

But in this case, the status of Lily and her son would become awkward. She is not greedy for power, but in the position of queen, she has also heard many deeds in history. When Edron ascends the throne, for the sake of the stability of future generations, her and her child's lives will depend on each other's thoughts.

Can't think of any good solution, Lily sighed again in the candlelight, and then prepared to get up and leave. If it were later, Feitin woke up and was about to cry again. The prince who had just turned one year old was still very greedy for his mother's arms. .

When the candles were blown out, the flames flickered, and a figure appeared illusoryly in the room, and then slowly solidified into reality.

"You are...Sister Luo Lan." Lily was a little flustered at first, and then shouted out in surprise.

Fortunately, Lorraine Hill had set up a soundproof barrier in advance to prevent the maid from outside from entering.

"Long time no see, Lily."

Lorraine Hill's figure slowly transformed into reality, and then stood in front of Lily. She was wearing a black and blue dress and a witch hat today, looking like a mysterious witch in the eyes of outsiders.

"I'm not dreaming, it's really Luo Lan." Lily looked at the unchanged black-haired girl in front of her with some disbelief. Her appearance and figure were the same as she was in school ten years ago.

"I'm right. If you don't believe me, you can ask about what happened in school before." Lorraine Hill stretched out his fingers lightly, and crimson light particles appeared in the air, and then his pupils also turned in the dim room. Magnificent red.

With the easy movement of her fingers, these crimson light particles condensed into several familiar little people, spinning, interacting, running and laughing with each other in the air. They were the familiar people from back then, Bumansha, Lily, Ye Ling, Vimiya, Lorraine, Aliena, Letis, Niya.

"You should believe it now." Lorraine Hill smiled narrowly. As a demon, her mood would be more lively and lively than usual.

"It's really Luo Lan." Lily's eyes suddenly

There was a glimmer of water coming out, and then he hugged him up. This time, Lorraine Hill felt a little embarrassed, feeling that he shouldn't tease this former companion.

"Well, it's me." Lorraine Hill hugged Lily and then gently comforted her former companion.

"Phew, Lily is still a crybaby." Ye Ling's voice quietly appeared in the room, and then the Dragon Lady also appeared from the illusion, leaning on her hips and looking at Lily who was crying in Lorraine Hill's arms.

"Well, the stupid Eidolon is here too."

Lily raised her head, wiped the tears from her eyes, and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar roommate beside her. In the academy, her best friends were Eidolon and Alena.

"Here we come, let's see idiot Lily." Ye Ling rolled his eyes and said arrogantly, then suddenly took action and grabbed Lily's waist.

"Giggle, put me down, it's so itchy." Lily struggled dumbfounded, and the two played around for a while.

"After so many years, Lily is still about the same height as me." Ye Ling compared his height with Lily's, feeling a little happy.

"It goes without saying about height. Also, I'm wearing slippers now. If I put on my usual shoes, I would definitely be taller than you." Lily responded as usual, puffing up her cheeks and responding slightly angrily.

Although she now has a child, Lily is only in her twenties and has only been a queen for two years. She still retains a lot of the innocent temperament of the past.

"Then if you want to say that, if I turn into a dragon and compete with you, wouldn't it be like crushing me directly?" Ye Ling responded with her hands on her hips unknowingly.

"I'm much more powerful now than before. Even if Aloy comes here, you may not be able to beat me now, huh." Ye Ling patted his chest. When he graduated from Tower Academy, Aloy was a loli dragon. He has dominated the rankings for a long time, which is quite the legacy of Xing Liu.

Watching the interaction between these two little guys, Lorraine Hill felt that the original sadness in Lily was diluted a lot.

It's great. Fortunately, I brought Eidolon here this time, otherwise I wouldn't have such a good effect if I came to comfort Lily myself.

Immediately, Lorraine Hill took out a makeshift maple wand from behind, and with a wave of his hand, the pages and books on the table immediately flew up, closed continuously, and were neatly arranged in the bookshelf aside, followed by a rich and colorful Dinner is on the table. In the middle of the table, a three-story maple tree cake exuded a colorful halo in the room. Small orange-yellow fruits were dotted among the chocolate trees. There were a few cute words written on the cake below.

"Happy birthday, Lily."
