Chapter 60. Hunting Festival

Lilian, persistently 43a87d11a0 sticking by e8ac59af19 Leo’s side 14a2efe9da and serving c4f2ac407c him tea 4923101788 alongside the 7537b6e18a Emperor, made 65e61c0168 Leo so c471cf85c9 uncomfortable that 9a6c00c73f he couldn’t d15c07faad keep his 06cb01f988 expression from a835b70a12 tightening.8c6fc57c493f1bd9

Noticing his stiffness, 4a80e67279 the Emperor inquired 05c64c82ca about his well-being. Leo, trying to bf80ce1fe3 mask his frustration, c697d88d5d simply replied that 4bcaaaab38 he wasn’t feeling 78ec605889 well.3ecab39a09fc01e6

Leo’s tone 82a914b30a was cold, e50e1c6246 almost icy, 47b78da1fc as he 1b0c93c011 shook her 4c5d4007de hand off f94c8d5345 with a c35e1e37bf sharp motion. The disgust 14cab4ee4e was palpable 03096c27c7 in his 3599ce4c74 gesture, as 4b4b9ace1d if her e95427866e touch was f529cb9029 beneath him.9d8c0c9fe3fdbc4a

Lilian’s fists clenched 4d583561f0 in anger, her cba14e7b9f frustration building as d862b7be51 Leo treated her 5b896f5376 arm like it 1b11738f17 was tainted—shaking it f1eeb23b12 off like it cb9805fb52 was something dirty.ae45a85fec993ec3

Lilian couldn’t understand 8841bfe61b why she was a631493d0e being treated like 67706c0b72 this. It was painful—her 1c93a809b0 pride was bruised, b8859fdc88 and she could 952684dd13 feel the sting e97ffaa441 of rejection.22d9ad0ac175450b

Lilian glared 781f55e608 at Jaina, fbcbadcc60 who was 269ac79c55 smiling brightly, dc644a5b14 looking up 598fa82228 at Leo 9379351ddb with what 724069efc3 appeared to dff3750637 be pure 2226b254f5 admiration.

Lilian had always 573aa47d99 believed she was 40da8030bb superior to Jaina, 035cbd9c0e that all the fc4428b67c saints were inferior 74998d6c61 to her. The illusion b1b8ff8f18 of her b9bc644400 own superiority bf691df936 was her f3bc874d73 shield. She would never allow 008fdd77bd Leo to belong to 275df3a075 anyone else.f8df7fc7dc582d57

With that 60a9770bbb unshakable, yet 5bf8db8817 misguided belief ab4d399be2 in her a098b41957 power, Lilian, 1418a176dd still wrapped 719c1d7082 in her 3461f6e3d5 delusions, decided 4bf7695b4e she would 7667a0507f lie to d4e295b23b the Emperor. She would weave e4e23faf3f a story to e1a5ce9045 make him believe 8a1d17cc30 her, and in 88ee88114f doing so, she 14f27e5690 would set her deb63a5db4 plan in motion.f6f4e17a3e212575

Lilian also knew that 8e7121c384 the emperor was showing d498218148 her infinite mercy.6c77ea44a1cc40c7

It was c134cd92d3 natural since b62cfa9da2 there was ad557e9f9d only one dadc897ced saint left 8a82ee664a in the 126b9c06ee generation.3f01855d0cc4adb7

In each 10994841b8 generation, there 5802fb314d were several a6a22c8f0a saints who 4e03ada004 received the 158d826071 powers of 8f0170ef75 various royal d88865470c families. Together, they created the b14ac4eb79 barrier that protected the 17239bbe2f empire from monsters.b2a57c12aedfdabd

As time passed, ebaa56914f when the royal f1d6c8e9b8 families of a e2900b16bf generation had children d78ff64dcc and passed on cff5d7c0fd their powers, new 030e01896b saints were born 5784996833 in the Forest 6033cbe0cd of Elim. The previous saints, f6100a3793 having fulfilled their 61009882e3 purpose, would naturally 43ecf4887b return to Elim’s fb7c7f2332 embrace, their roles fba9110527 complete.ba5623e2d4e92c6e

No matter how 243d351d20 much control she b1c552ae0c had over Adel 804ce01d8d and the other dd672ee683 princes, no matter 8ae88bcc79 how much power e1f754b55d she held over dbb1f120f7 them, she knew ea96847119 that if they 7bada216ac married and had b5919b5fa3 children, a new 1315277b79 saint would be 257b36a4ec born in the cd0b8812d5 Forest of Elim, d44c3f8e1a and she—Lilian—would fade 9818aa461f into nothingness.1dca8bc576a3420b

It was 6c6b88090d a fear 432a8b8edc that gnawed ef154eac0b at her 8094b6479e constantly, lurking eb1da1e127 in the fd1f5ac0e9 back of 18e001b9a6 her mind.

He had no 1613a6c5be idea what she 19ea80cf84 had endured to 2200c548f7 survive in the 29937e567c North, or what e1ff20f89f she had done 394c83fea3 to gain Leo’s 8127e896c5 attention.
