Chapter 109: Jiao Ming’s Bloody General

It is already the end of November. The Palace of Roses is decorated with frozen green branches and leaves, and the top of the courtyard is covered with white snow. The garden that used to compete for beauty is now completely white, and from time to time you can hear the sound of water drops dripping from the eaves.

Lily was sitting in the study at the moment, with a brazier beside her, emitting warm red heat. Although there are magic circles and facilities to maintain the temperature in the palace, she is still used to such flames, which make people feel a touch of warmth, instead of facing the cold and unchanging decoration around her.

Placing an orange next to the fire pot, Lily gently rocked the cradle next to her. Seeing her child sleeping peacefully in it, she felt very happy. I remember she was like this when she was a child, sitting around the fire with her family and talking about the happy things they encountered.

Although they are from a noble family, Lily's family is not that big aristocracy, but an ordinary small aristocratic family. The family's fiefdom is only a small piece of land and can only support two knights. The most valuable among them is the vineyard on the plain at the foot of the mountain.

Relying on the wine brewed, the family can get a stable income every year, and on the day of the winter festival, the father will also buy various gifts for his brothers and sisters.

Compared to those girls from big families who were constrained, Lily's life was much easier when she was a child. Because she was the youngest and was taken care of by several older brothers and sisters, she did not bear any high expectations or heavy responsibilities.

In her father's words, as long as she grows up healthy and gets married, that's all.

Several brothers are responsible for the family business, and her sisters have completed maintaining or establishing some family relationships, and they are all doing well, so there is nothing to worry about. When she was a child, she often visited the homes of her brothers-in-law, playing around and seeing the scenery, which broadened her horizons a lot.

As a result, Lily is not like those children of endangered nobles, who have a passionate desire for power and status, nor is she like those young ladies who have been in purgatory for a long time, full of fantasies and high expectations for the outside world.

Well, it’s just that she doesn’t have much pursuit anyway. Lily has been living a life like a salted fish. She doesn’t have any high expectations and is very satisfied.

It's a pity that reality developed too fast. During the two or three years of her marriage to Aimanke, she often woke up from her dreams and doubted whether everything was true.

I am just a daughter of a rural noble from the south of the empire. How could I suddenly become the highest-ranking queen in the empire? What happened in this?

Sitting next to the quietly burning fire pot, Lily gently rocked the sleeping basket, her eyes following the flames, thinking about each figure in the past.

"Your Majesty, Lord Severi is here." A maid in the study whispered in the Queen's ear.

"Well, let him come in." Lily straightened the wrinkles on her clothes a little, then sat on the wooden chair next to the fire pit and waited.

After a while, the maid gently opened the door, and then a man wearing military boots walked to the door. He first saluted, then saw the queen and cradle in the room, then slowed down his voice and introduced his identity.

"Your Majesty and His Royal Highness Prince are well. I am the commander of the 56th Legion of the Empire, Severi. It is a great honor to meet you."

"Come in, Junior Severi." Lily smiled and waved.

Then the officer came into the room. He was a little nervous for a moment, not knowing whether to stand or sit, even though the maid had thoughtfully placed a chair.

"It's better to sit down. It will be more tiring for me to look up and talk to you." Lily looked at Severi and comforted her slowly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The legion commander sat down excitedly.

"I called you here while I was busy, and I don't know if it will disturb your work." Lily asked the maid to bring hot tea to the officer.

"Thank you. I was not disturbed, but I was very honored." He took the tea cup and carefully placed it on the coffee table in front of him.

Severi once studied in Emenas and was also a student of the Walled City College. After Lorraine and Bumansha graduated one after another in the past, Lily, as the elder of the society, briefly served as the president for two years.

Although she felt that her performance was far inferior to that of Luo Lan and Bu Mansha, fortunately, the foundation of the club had been laid and all she had to do was simply maintain it. And this junior student from Severi was the rookie talent of Chengzhai Academy in those two years, and he won third place in the Winter Festival Gala.

"I'm very grateful to Senior Lily for admitting me into the club and giving me a lot of help." Sifuli recalled the past and said with emotion. Although he was a genius, he started too late and had a low status. In the Walled City Academy where there are many nobles, he has always been a marginalized figure.

It was not until later that he entered the 'Black Water Lily' club. From then on, he was recognized by many classmates in the same college and gained rare experience exchanges, competitions, extraordinary pharmaceutical assistance, etc. In those two years, his strength grew rapidly. He became famous at the Winter Festival Gala.

Although some senior students have a general attitude towards Lily, the president, in his heart, this senior has always been a person worthy of respect.

"It's all in the past, and it can't be separated from your own efforts." Lily shook her head and said what Luo Lan once said to the club members. She had little experience at the time, and many of her methods and words were imitated from the notes left by Lorraine.

"Actually, I called you here this time because I hope to get your help." Lily slowly got to the point.

"I am willing to go through fire and water for Her Majesty the Queen." Hearing this, Severi stood up at attention. Because the sound was too loud, the child in the cradle was also awakened.

"Be good, it's okay." Lily comforted her child in a low voice, and then gestured for Severi to sit down first.

"Actually, it is indeed a dangerous and arduous task." Seeing that the child had stabilized, Lily asked the maid beside her to continue rocking the cradle, and then turned around to talk to Severi.

"Because the current situation has changed a lot

, I need a group of loyal people to defend the Rose Palace. "

"Don't agree in a hurry. I want to tell you that this mission may involve many dangers, and sometimes it may involve you because of my identity." Lily explained in advance.

"I understand." Severi nodded calmly at this time. He was not a hot-blooded young man. After experiencing military training, he was naturally keenly aware of the changes in the empire today.

When the emperor was still alive, the Legion's only loyal object was naturally the Emperor Aimanke. But after His Majesty Aimanke passed away, this faced a big problem. The prince was too young and was still more than ten years away from inheriting the throne. year, and at this time, should he be loyal to the weak queen, or should he obey the orders of the regent, the other highness who should be sitting on the throne.

The Regent is undoubtedly more powerful and trustworthy than Her Majesty the Queen, but people are different. He graduated from Emenas and was once a member of the 'Black Water Lily' club, so he was naturally labeled as Queen Lily.

Instead of escaping from the label of not being human inside and out, it is better to embrace this identity and become a loyal party member of Her Majesty the Queen.

There are not so many options to choose from in the world, and Severi has undoubtedly embarked on the only path available, and he will try his best to protect the Queen and the prince so that they can truly become the rulers of the empire, and he himself will In this process, we reach the pinnacle of life.

"If that's the case, then I feel relieved." Looking at the legion commander who swore allegiance to him, Lily pressed her chest lightly with her fingers to express her relief.

"Before the end of the year, you and your legions will be transferred to the vicinity of Titania. Then I will trouble you."

"The star of the empire's military, the 'Blood-Edged General of Jiao Ming', Your Excellency Sifule."

After this, this rare Demon Sequence 7 transcendent in the empire slowly retreated.
