Lilia Asprey, the dead princess of the Knights of Diony.

As a small, idyllic country, Diony had never been able to fight for power. Peace as a symbol of the state, transparent and pure, so when she was a princess, Lilia was asked and taught to be a doll who knew nothing and just smiled.

And Lilia, she is a very straightforward girl. She was silent and intelligent since childhood, and she understood this matter and accepted it.

This is not a difficult thing for her, if she can make the adults around her happy just by smiling, then keep smiling within the boundaries of her facial muscles....

The girl thought like this.

She had thought that the days of peace would last forever, but when she was nine years old, the world changed completely.

“......"

The girl gently fiddled with the fire with the firewood in her hand, her eyes staring unfocused at the constantly dancing flames in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Can I sit here?"

The sound in her ear pulled Lilia's attention back, and she looked up to see a teenager standing beside her, looking down at her.

Although there were some doubts in her heart, Lilia did not refuse, nodded and moved to make room for him.

Xia Solstice was also not polite, and sat next to the girl with a "hehe".

"Thank you so much today, I heard the teacher say, if you hadn't found us lying on the side of the road, it is estimated that we would be sleeping in the wilderness tonight."

"You're welcome." Lilia shook her head and said with a habitual smile: "That road is not remote, and there are usually other caravans coming, so even without me, there will be others who will find you." "

"But, after all, you found us, didn't you?"

Xia Solstice picked up a firewood next to it and also stirred up the fire:

"Those who give a helping hand to others should rightfully be thanked, and blindly showing humility and generosity, or even refusing to accept gratitude, will invisibly raise the moral requirements of the helpee to other helpers, which is a very immoral thing."

This is the first time I've heard of this kind of thing. Lilia thought to herself.

"Also, hasn't anyone told you a thing?" Summer Solstice asked.

Lilia tilted her head: "What happened?" "

"You're laughing so fake." Xia Solstice threw the firewood in his hand into the fire, clapped his hands and looked at the girl and said: "A real smile is a joy from the heart, which will affect the orbicularis muscles around the eyes and give people a feeling of glowing eyes." And when you just smiled, the muscles around your eyes were motionless, and your eyes were dull, making people feel less than the slightest bit of sincerity. "

Lilia: "..."

Isn't it all like this with a polite smile? Are your requirements a little too strict?

The girl suddenly had the idea that this person in front of her was actually difficult to serve.

"Then again, I haven't asked for your name yet." Xia Solstice turned his words and looked at the girl and said, "My name is Xia Solstice, how about you?" "

“...... Lilia Asprey. "

After reporting her name, the girl fell silent, quietly waiting for the expected reaction.

As the princess of the dead country, her country perished not long ago in a monster attack called the "Ancient Spirit Clan".

Whether it was the attack of the "ancient spirit race" or the demise of the Dionne knightly state, it was not a trivial matter, so the story about the girl can now be regarded as a well-known story.

Since then, Lilia Asprey has lost everything she has... People who heard about it basically thought that way.

So after that, as the hero of the tragedy, Lilia began to be asked to play a role that had never been played before.

The loss of what was loved, what was cherished, what was important, something extraordinary, something that did not want to be lost, something that wanted to disappear, all of this turned into flying ash in that flame.

Then, it is right to feel sad, it is right to feel pain, it is right to become desperate, it is supposed to be hateful....

Whoever thinks so.

They only regarded her, the daughter of the dead kingdom, as the hero of a tragedy, and asked her to become a "very poor girl".

People's happiness comes from contrast, looking at the misfortune of others, only to rejoice in their own luck, just like looking out the window in a warm room, compassion is what such a surplus person will have.

But it doesn't matter, because Lilia is a very straightforward girl.

They will listen to the words of the adults obediently, just like they asked for it before, just smile.

People around her expect her to be such a "poor girl", then if only she became such a girl.

So, the girl named Lilia is ready, she will play such a role, whether it is sadness, pain, despair or hatred, as long as the person around her wishes, she will show him these things as he thinks.

After all, that's all she was worth.

And yet....

"It's so long." Summer Solstice complained.

“...... Huh? Lilia was stunned for a moment.

"It's too long, can it be reduced to less than three words?" Summer Solstice asked.

Only then did Lilia react: what disrespectful words this person was saying to someone else's name?

"I'm so sorry, that's how my parents named me." The girl turned her head and said, "Moreover, people in this world are named like this." "

If you want to reduce it, don't you just call me by my name? She thought to herself.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Solstice said, "Then I will call you Lili in the future." "

Lilia: "..."

Just omit the last name, why should even the first name be omitted? Is it really so tiring to read one more syllable?

I don't know how long it took, Lilia once again felt the true emotions that surged up in her heart... Despite the name of this emotion is "annoyance".

"Well, let's get here tonight, it's already late." Xia Solstice stood up, pressed a gray witch hat that didn't know where it came from on the girl's head, and said to her with a smile:

"Good night, Lilia, and have a good dream."

“......"

Looking at the boy's departing back, Lilia recalled the smile he had just had.

Indeed, as he said, when people really smile from the heart, there is light in their eyes.

Lilia thought silently in her heart.
