in the name of the queen.

Chapter 261 Rules are the most important
Lilith stood cautiously behind Adam, holding his sleeve tightly, her body shaking uncontrollably, and her originally red lips had no trace of blood.

When Adam grabbed her hand and walked towards the palace, she was completely confused.

Ever since she heard the good news that Adam would be knighted upon his return to China, she gave up all her extravagant hopes of becoming Adam's wife.

Of course she wants to marry Adam, but she is not a fool and knows very well how troublesome her identity is.

So she didn't dare to hope.

She had long made up her mind to enjoy this time before Adam returned to China, so that she would not have any regrets when Adam returned.

She will find a quiet rural area and spend the rest of her life quietly.

She won't be alone.

Adam didn't know it yet, but the fruit of life had been planted in her body.

This is a gift from the goddess of fertility and the fruit of their love.

What is she afraid of?
There must be something wrong!
The killing intent flashed away and sank deep into his eyes.

If she were just a person, she would probably have the courage to die generously.

Adam is not an ordinary person, but an extraordinary being with infinite possibilities for growth.

The moment she saw Roland, the fire of hope Lilith had just ignited was extinguished.

Lilith almost fainted on the spot. She forced herself to hold on, sweat rolling down her cheeks.

He was distracted.

This is Lilith's objective evaluation of Roland.

Even fighting against Sophia is by no means useless.

Roland just turned a blind eye to the fact that Adam often visited brothels.

She was uneasy and even more nervous.

If there was only Count Sif, she would still have some hope, but Roland was the one who talked about it.

What she was thinking about now was not whether she could marry Adam, but whether she could save her own life and the poor little guy.

In her eyes, Roland's polite smile was like the devil's evil smile before devouring a baby.

But not now.

As long as it can help deal with Sophia, even if it is only a little useful, it is good.

She now has a reason to live well without Adam.

He was thinking about how to solve the hidden danger, and didn't even listen carefully to the conversation between Sif and Adam.

Seeing her sweaty and desperate look, Roland narrowed his eyes and quietly looked at Lilith with suspicious eyes.

As long as she disappears from the world, all problems will disappear.

She was terribly frightened.

But this time it's different.

Adam was fine at first, but he had problems after meeting her. The source of the problem could only be her.

Once people have hope, they will worry about gains and losses.

Lilith didn't quite believe it, but couldn't resist, so she had to follow Adam.

As an artist, he has an active mind, is bohemian, and has a rich private life.

Half an hour ago, she was still thinking about how to be a single mother, but now she has to wait for the final trial of Count Sif.

However, Adam just rushed in like a madman, pulled her away, and said that their love was recognized by Count Sif.

If there was a glimmer of hope, she certainly didn't want the child to be born without a father. She was just desperate for the cruel reality.

His eyes narrowed more and more, and murderous intent surged.

He needs Adam to grow up quickly, just like this Jin Yuan Kingdom tour.

He certainly didn't want Adam to be ruined by a bad woman.

She originally had no hope, but Adam awakened her extravagant hopes.

Lilith carefully looked at Sif and Roland with her peripheral vision, her heart pounding.

She had heard Roland's name and knew his deeds.

Roland wanted to laugh. The world was so absurd. He wanted to deal with Sophia and protect his woman, but he actually wanted to eliminate Adam's lover.

A politician who appears kind but is actually cold and calculating.

Although Adam often visits the red light district, there is no essential difference between those women and airplane cups. They are all pure tools for sexual release.

Roland is a ruthless politician, and he will never tolerate problems with a henchman like Adam.

Thinking of this, Lilith was dominated by fear, her face turned pale and her legs trembled.

But he couldn't laugh.

Roland was already suspicious of Lilith, and now he was even more sure that she had a serious problem.

Adam really fell this time.

Once the guys in the game world fall, they fall deeper than ordinary people.

The capable man falls in love and is seduced by the woman, stabbing his master with a backstabbing dagger. There are a lot of this kind of things in the history books, there are too many.

Even if there is only one percent chance, it must be eliminated.

Just when Roland was terrified, Sif had already completed the observation.

Lilith is indeed a spy, and a senior one.

With Sif's strength, there is still a small area that cannot be seen clearly under the insight.

What she could see was Lilith's struggle, hesitation and helplessness.

And no hostility at all.

Unlike Roland's random thoughts, Sif could completely understand Lilith's mood.

When activating the Eye of Insight, she not only saw Lilith who was as scared as a frightened rabbit, but she could also sense a pure life energy.

Full of curiosity and love for the world.

People always think that babies don’t understand anything, but they also have souls.

The soul of a little life that has not yet been born, or even has not yet formed an embryo, is naturally completely pure.

Lilith's mentality is easy to understand. She is a mother who wants to protect her children.

After thinking about this, Sif looked at Lilith with a much gentler gaze.

Before Lilith came, she was also worried about seeing the red light that represented hostility. But she had already planned it. If Lilith was really malicious, she would deal with it decisively even if she disappointed Adam.

Fortunately not.

Xif, who understood everything, raised the corners of her lips slightly and said softly:
"Congratulations, Adam, you're going to be a father in a few months."

Adam felt his head buzzing and his whole body went dumb.

He smirked and got the exact answer from Lilith's eyes. He almost couldn't help but pick up his lover and spin her around.

Thinking that the Governor and the Queen were here, he suppressed his excitement and looked at Roland anxiously.

"My Lord Governor, I"

"Roland, we should bless Adam and Lilith."

As if she was afraid of Roland's objection, Sif spoke first.

pregnant?

Roland fell silent.

With Lilith taking hostages at key locations, the nature of the matter completely changed.

Even if she had a problem, there was nothing she could do about it.

There may be men who would reluctantly give up love for the sake of power and status, but as long as they are not beasts, they will not tolerate the disappearance of their unborn children.

Roland laughed self-deprecatingly. He couldn't do anything in this situation.

Sif told him with her eyes that Lilith was not hostile.

Insight is indeed useful, but it is not omnipotent, Roland thought silently.

Lilith is a secret agent who can only execute orders and has no independent thinking. How can she be hostile to the head of state of a neighboring country?
Even if there is nothing wrong with her, what about the people who trained her?

What if someone forces Lilith to do something in the future?

These are all hidden dangers.

Roland put away his sigh and clapped his hands with a smile.

Now that things have come to this, let’s give our blessings first.

Lilith's problem had to be put aside for now.

"Adam, congratulations. You're going to be a father soon, so you might as well take up something easy. The military is too dangerous for you."

"When you return to China, you will report to the Department of Culture. There is a shortage of deputy director there, and you are a perfect fit."

Roland said calmly.

He used impeccable reasons to transfer Adam from an important position to a more relaxed but less important position.

Does culture matter? Of course it's important.

But in times of turmoil, it is far worse than the army.

Adam breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked Sif and Roland.

After exchanging pleasantries, he took Lilith away knowingly.

Although I was a little disappointed to be transferred from an important position in the army, it was nothing compared to my wife and children.

It is more important to have a neat family.

After watching Adam leave, Sif was silent for a long time and said quietly: "You still don't trust Adam. No, you don't trust Lilith."

"On the contrary, I actually trust them very much. Lilith's hidden danger is not in herself, but in the intelligence organization behind her. She herself has no problems."

"Then you let Adam take a back seat?" Sif was a little confused.

Roland smiled and said nothing. Obviously, this was another test.

Sif's eyes suddenly became sharp.

She liked Roland's random test questions very much.

Such questions often have no ready-made answers that can be referenced and require her to think.

Since you need to think about it, let’s eliminate the no-brainer conclusions first.

First rule out Roland excluding Adam from his inner circle out of anger.

Roland is not such an impulsive person.

Sif's brain was running rapidly, thinking about various possibilities, but still found nothing.

Accepting Lilith and allowing Adam and Lilith to marry is a favor.

Transferring Adam from the army to the Ministry of Culture, which has little power, was a promotion in name but a demotion in reality.

Although the level is the same, the power and future are too different, and they may even be marginalized.

No matter how open-minded Adam is, he will always feel uncomfortable.

Roland did this because he naturally didn't want to take Adam's feelings into consideration.

Since it wasn't out of anger, and it didn't matter what Adam thought, it was naturally for a purpose more important than Adam.

Sif's eyes looked a little strange, and she said faintly:
"To uphold the rules, to take care of other people's feelings, right?"

This time it was Roland's turn to be surprised.

His eyes went from shock to relief, and finally to relief.

Sif has indeed grown.

He nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "To lead a good team, rules are the most important. Our team now has four provinces, and in the future it will be the entire empire and even all the countries in the mainland. Without rules, everything will be chaotic."

"Adam has indeed made meritorious service, so he should be rewarded. But he did not report his marriage to a foreigner to us in advance, but only told us after the wheat was baked into bread. Even if it is not deception, it is also dishonest."

"Adam must punish, otherwise he will not be convinced."

Sif breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt a little pity when thinking about the result.

She sighed softly: "It's a pity that Adam won't be so dedicated in the future."

"Who said that?"

Roland shook his head slowly and said with a serious expression: "If Adam can't even understand this point, then there won't be a place for him in the Department of Culture."

Although he was transferred from an important position, Roland was extremely kind to Adam.

He retains his administrative rank, his wife and children, and his concealed faults are only lightly punished.

If you are resentful despite heavy rewards and light punishments, then you are a standard white-eyed wolf with evil intentions. That kind of person cannot be used at all.
