"It's already eight o'clock. Class starts at half past eight."

"what?!"

It's very strange. Normally, Lilith would wake me up around 7:30, but she didn't today.

What on earth happened?

But I can’t think too much about it now, because I don’t want to be late for the first day of the second semester.

So without saying a word, I woke up Lila, who was still lying in bed even though she was awake, and then I quickly washed and changed clothes, ate a few bites of breakfast, and then got on the carriage and went to the academy with Roy and Elena.

But what we didn’t expect was that Roy also became a red noble like us.

But I've never seen her perform any magic before.

This can only be said that Roy may be hiding it too deeply, but it won’t be long before we can see what kind of magic she will perform.

Chapter 17: Lilith is the illegitimate daughter of Marquis Einbetel

But fortunately, there are no classes in the morning today. Apart from the opening ceremony for new students and the class meeting, we still have a day off in the afternoon.

So, after lunch, I took Elena, Lila and Roy and hurried back to our home in the royal city.

Because I always have a bad feeling that something bad is going to happen.

After returning to the castle of the royal city, I was the first to leave the four-person "team" that had been formed, and then rushed to Lilith's room in a hurry.

Fortunately, Lilith's luggage, clothes and other things were still there, which meant that she would not be away for long.

If that's the case, then where did she go?

Afterwards, I searched the surrounding rooms one by one and asked many people, but I still didn't see Lilith or find any clues about her. This made me feel more and more strange.

Just when I seemed a little helpless, at this moment, there was suddenly the "tat tat tat" sound of hard shoes coming down the stairs not far outside the room.

But this pace, this way of going downstairs is very familiar to me. If I'm not mistaken, this should be Lilith.

Without saying a word, I rushed out again, intending to ask Lilith where she had gone and why she left without telling me.

Just after I saw Lilith's figure, I saw a face I hadn't seen for a long time.

If I remember correctly, this expression should be similar to the one when I first saw her, as if she was worried and had a lot of pain in her heart but couldn't express it.

However, as soon as she saw me, her expression began to change instantly.

Her originally unhappy face quickly turned into a smile, but this smile... was very fake.

"Lilith, what happened?"

At this moment, I saw a slap mark on her right cheek, and it was obvious that she had been beaten.

Although the blow was not particularly heavy, it was obvious that it was a man's handprint, and it was thick and rough.

So who is this man and what is his relationship with Lilith?

"Nothing... Nothing. I'm sorry, Princess. I overslept this morning, so I couldn't wake you up. Please punish me..."

As she spoke, Lilith slowly lowered her head as if she didn't dare to look me in the eyes.

"Lilith, tell me honestly what happened. Aren't we family (my harem)? Don't hide anything. It makes both you and me feel uncomfortable."

I walked straight up to Lilith, raised my arms, patted her shoulders gently, and spoke very seriously.

Because I know that this matter should be quite serious, and it is something she cannot solve or deal with.

"Your Highness... Really, I can't hide anything from you, wuwuwu——"

At this moment, Lilith's face began to change from a bitter smile to an increasingly aggrieved one, and then she rushed towards me and couldn't help crying.

It can be seen that Lilith is actually a very slender girl. She became a model basically because she encountered something that she could not handle.

So, I went straight up to her, hugged her, and began to stroke her soft short hair and comfort her.

After all, they have already entered my family and become part of my harem. If they are bullied, wouldn’t that be a slap in my face?

If anyone wants to bully someone, I'm the only one who can do it!

So, Lilith and I returned to her room, and after she was tired of crying, I began to listen to everything from her mouth.

I really didn't expect that even though Lilith was just a maid, she should be considered a noble.

From the beginning I felt that it was impossible for an ordinary person to be called by such a noble woman's name.

Lilith's full name is Lilith Ainbetel. She is actually the illegitimate daughter of Marquis Ainbetel and an outsider.

In order to prevent others from gossiping, the newborn Lilith and her mother were sent to the northern border, the farthest place from the capital of the Kingdom of Allen.

However, Lilith's mother died when she was three years old. When she was twelve years old, she was cheated of all her money by bad guys. Finally, by mistake, she was sold to Kloster Castle as a maid.

Lilith, who served me at the time, was actually only thirteen years old, but now she is a beautiful girl of nineteen.

But why did I know she was a noble the first time I saw her?

Actually, it’s because she knows healing magic.

If he was just a commoner, it would be impossible for him to know such noble magic. Of course, it is normal for commoners to know magic.

Marquis Einbertel's family has basically been a family that focuses on healing magic for generations.

Including Teacher Betty, her full name is indeed Betty Ainbetel, but she is not from the main family, but from the branch family, so she is also honored to be Elena's exclusive maid.

Originally, Marquis Ainbertel thought that Lilith had been sent to the northern border, and whether she was dead or alive would have nothing to do with him, because he had completely sent her away.

However, what was unexpected was that this time, Marquis Ainbertel saw Lilith in the royal city, which made him feel resentful and called her over.

If nothing unexpected happens, we can roughly know from Lilith's words that Marquis Einbertel is willing to acknowledge her as his daughter, and plans to marry her to Count Bernain's illegitimate son as his daughter-in-law, just to give Count Bernain face.

But Lilith refused to be someone else's wife and insisted on staying by my side and serving me for the rest of her life, so she was slapped.

But this matter is really complicated.

In that case, I have no choice but to obey my father's orders. The only person who wants to end this relationship is me, the master.

"Wuwuwu... Princess, what should I do... Wuwuwu, I really don't want to marry that man, because then I will really have to leave you..."

Really, Lilith was crying like a baby at this moment. It was the first time I saw Lilith so weak since I rescued her.

"Don't worry, Lilith, you're not going anywhere. You will always stay by my side and serve me. Don't forget, you are mine."

I still stroked Lilith's soft short hair and comforted her with my heart.

"Really? But my father is a marquis. Her title is so high, I'm afraid it will be bad for you, Princess."

At this time, Lilith raised her tear-stained face and looked at me with her red and swollen eyes.

Seeing Lilith like this really makes me feel sad...

"It's okay, just leave it to me."

As I said this, I patted Lilith's back gently and responded to her.

Lilith nodded obediently, because I was the only person she trusted the most now.

Of course, I can't let myself down.

After Lilith calmed down completely, I took her with me and called Louise, who had just finished lunch, to become the guards mainly responsible for protecting Lilith, and went to the upstairs where I lived, which was also the room where Marquis Einbertel lived, to conduct "negotiations".

Chapter 18 I will never give Lilith to you!

However, with Louise protecting me, I actually feel quite safe, because Louise's strength is unmatched except for General Edson. In addition, my current strength is no longer what it used to be, but having a reliable helper around me really makes me feel at ease.

The most important thing is that even if Marquis Ainbetel comes to make things difficult for me, I can get away with it safely. There is no need to worry about me being harmed, not to mention that I am the Holy Princess of the Kingdom of Allen.

But I was still quite nervous, and Lilith beside me was probably even more nervous than me.

It can be seen that Lilith has become accustomed to serving me. If she were to become the wife of a nobleman, it would be a little unacceptable for her.

In addition, if I remember correctly, the illegitimate son of Count Bernain seemed to be short and bloated, with a strange temper and ugly appearance, as if he had grown up disabled. Such a guy wants to be worthy of my Lilith, it's really like a toad wanting to eat swan meat.

Therefore, even if Lilith cannot resist, I will do my best to stop her.

Because Lilith is a very important family member (harem) to me.

When I arrived at the door of Marquis Einbertel's room, I found that it was indeed different from the door of an ordinary room.

I saw that the gate should be made of special beech wood, and it was such a big piece. Even in my world, this piece of wood would cost at least tens of thousands of pieces, not to mention this world, where this kind of wood is extremely difficult to mine and it is difficult to make such a big piece.

At the same time, there were two soldiers standing at the door of Marquis Einbertel's house. Although they were wearing light armor, it was obvious that they were also noble soldiers.

In other words, the identity of Marquis Einbertel is indeed quite noble.

"Hello, Your Highness."

When I arrived at the gate, the two noble soldiers did not stop me. Instead, they bowed to me.

"Ah."

"Excuse me, what brings you here, Saint Princess?"

At this time, a soldier on my left asked me very politely.

"I'm here to discuss something important with His Royal Highness the Marquis. Please help pass on the message."

"Yes, I will tell you right away."

As he spoke, the soldier on his left quickly turned around, pushed open the door, and then walked quickly towards Marquis Einbertel's room.

In fact, I also learned from Lilith that Marquis Einbertel is actually a distant relative of the king, and the reason why he can live in the castle is that he has a certain relationship with King III.

So, no matter what, I will try my best to offend him as little as possible. However, I still have to be tough when it is time to be tough. After all, Lilith is mine!

After a while, the soldier came back.

"Please come in, Your Highness."

Just like that, I successfully arrived at Marquis Einbertel's room with Louise and Lilith.

However, there are really countless decorations and treasures in the home of Marquis Ainbertel. Every piece of furniture can be seen to be quite expensive, including rare wall decorations such as lion heads and elk heads hanging on the wall.

"I'm really sorry for not welcoming you, Your Highness."

Suddenly, a middle-aged man about 1.6 meters tall, wearing ghost leather shoes, ran over with a lewd smile on his face and gave me a noble salute.

"Well, then, Princess Louise, please wait outside. Princess Saint and I will go to the living room to chat for a while and then come out."

"no problem."

"Well, Your Highness, Lilith, please come in."

However, at this moment, he saw murderous intent in Lilith's eyes. It seemed that he really hated Lilith.

Just like that, I was invited to the living room, and Lilith stood next to me, her body seemed to be shaking unnaturally.

It can be seen that the look just now did make Lilith a little scared.

At this time, Marquis Einbertel asked the servant to bring a cup of tea, placed it in front of me, and then sat on the white beech bench opposite me.

"Your Highness, I also know the reason why you came this time. Of course, it is for your exclusive maid Lilith."

At this time, Marquis Einbertel still had that evil smile on his face, his eyes narrowed into slits, as if he saw through everything.

"Yes, I am indeed here for Lilith."

Of course, I couldn't let him lead me by the nose, so I quickly calmed down, at least to overwhelm him with my aura.

The main reason is that I am only a twelve-year-old child. Essentially, I have already dropped a level in aura, so no matter what, I can't go any lower.

"Of course, Your Highness, I shouldn't force someone to love me. But, Your Highness, Lilith is old enough to get married, so I have arranged a marriage for her. Therefore, please take this bag of gold coins and hand Lilith over to me. In fact, if she becomes the wife of a nobleman, she will definitely be happy forever."

As he said this, Marquis Einbertel pushed a bag of gold coins directly in front of me.

Indeed, this bag of gold is really a lot, but will Lilith be happy forever?

This is really ridiculous...

If I hand Lilith over, I think not only will Lilith not be happy, but she will no longer smile.

"I'm sorry, Marquis Einbertel, please allow me to refuse."

At this moment, a bright smile appeared on my face.

"What...but..."

After seeing my refusal, the smile on Marquis Einbertel's face froze instantly.
