In the Name of the Queen

Lilith stood cautiously behind Adam, tightly holding his sleeves, her body trembling uncontrollably, her originally rosy lips were bloodless.

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 after returning home, she gave up all her extravagant hopes of becoming Adam's wife.

Of course she wanted to marry Adam, but she was not a fool and knew how troublesome her identity was.

So she didn't dare to hope.

She had long made up her mind to enjoy this time before Adam returned home, and wait for Adam to return home without regrets.

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

She would not be alone.

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

This was the gift of the goddess of abundance and the fruit of their love.

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

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

She was uneasy and even more nervous.

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

She didn't have any hope at first, but Adam awakened her extravagant hope.

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

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

Lilith looked at Sif and Roland cautiously with her peripheral vision, and her heart "stomped".

If it was only Count Sif, she would still have some hope, but Roland was the one who made the decision.

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

A politician who seemed kind but was actually cold and calculating.

This was Lilith's objective evaluation of Roland.

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

She was terrified.

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

Roland is a cold-blooded politician. He will never tolerate a confidant like Adam having problems.

Adam was fine originally, but he had problems after meeting her. The root of the problem can only be her.

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

Thinking of this, Lilith was dominated by fear, her face was pale, and her legs were shaking.

If she was alone, she would probably have the courage to die generously.

But not now.

She now has a reason to live well even if she leaves Adam.

Roland's polite smile, in her eyes, is like the devil's grin before swallowing a baby.

Lilith almost fainted on the spot. She held on to her body, and sweat rolled down her cheeks.

Looking at her sweaty and desperate appearance, Roland narrowed his eyes and looked at Lilith with a suspicious look.

What is she afraid of?

There must be a problem!

The killing intent flashed and sank into the depths of his eyes.

Roland had always suspected Lilith, and now he was even more sure that she had a big problem.

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

He was distracted.

Adam was not an ordinary person, but a transcendent with unlimited growth potential.

Even if he fought against Sophia, he was definitely not useless.

As long as he could help deal with Sophia, even if he was only a little useful, it would be good.

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

He needed Adam to grow up quickly, just like this Golden Kite Country tour.

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

But he couldn't laugh.

His eyes narrowed and narrowed, and murderous intent surged.

Although Adam often went in and out of the red-light district, there was no essential difference between those women and masturbators. They were all pure tools for sexual release.

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

Artists have active minds, are unrestrained, and it's okay to have a rich private life.

But this time was different.

Adam really fell this time.

Once a guy who plays with the human world falls, he will fall deeper than ordinary people.

A capable general falls in love and stabs his master in the back under the temptation of a woman. There are a lot of such things in history books, too many.

Even if there is only a one percent possibility, it must be prevented.

Just when Roland was trembling with fear, Sif had 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 insight.

What she can see is Lilith's struggle, hesitation and helplessness.

And there is no hostility at all.

Unlike Roland's crazy thoughts, Sif can fully understand Lilith's feelings.

When she activated the Eye of Insight, she not only saw Lilith as scared as a frightened rabbit, but also felt a pure life energy.

Full of curiosity and love for this world.

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

The soul of a small life that has not yet been born, or even has no formed embryo, is naturally completely pure.

Lilith's mentality is easy to understand. She just wants to protect the child's mother.

After thinking this through, Sif looked at Lilith with a much gentler look.

Before Lilith came, she was also worried about seeing the red light representing hostility.

But she had already made plans. If Lilith really had bad intentions, she would deal with it decisively even if it made Adam extremely disappointed.

Fortunately, she didn't.

Sif, who understood everything, raised her lips slightly and said softly:

"Congratulations, Adam, you will be a father in a few months."

Adam felt his head buzzing and he was dumbfounded.

He laughed foolishly and got the exact answer from Lilith's eyes. He almost couldn't help but pick up his lover and turn around.

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

"Governor, I..."

"Roland, we should bless Adam and Lilith."

As if she was afraid that Roland would object, Sif spoke first.

Pregnant?

Roland fell silent.

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

Even if she had problems, there was no way to deal with it.

Maybe some men would give up love for power and status, but as long as they were not beasts, they would not tolerate the disappearance of unborn children.

Roland laughed at himself. He couldn't do it in this situation.

Sif told him with her eyes that Lilith had no hostility.

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

Lilith is a hidden player who can only follow orders and has no independent thinking. How can she be hostile to the head of state of a neighboring country?

Even if she has no problem, 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 in his heart and clapped his hands with a smile.

Now that things have come to this, let's wish her the best first.

Lilith's problem had to be put aside for the time being.

"Adam, congratulations. You are going to be a father soon, so you should do some easy work. The army is too dangerous and not suitable for you."

"After returning home, you will report to the Ministry of Culture. There is a lack of a deputy minister there, and you are very suitable."

Roland said calmly.

He used impeccable reasons to transfer Adam from an important position to a relaxed but relatively unimportant position.

Is culture important? Of course it is important.

But it is far inferior to the army during turbulent times.

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

After a brief greeting, he took Lilith away tactfully.

Although he felt a little disappointed about being transferred from an important military position, it was nothing compared to his wife and children.

It was more important for the family to be well-organized.

After watching Adam leave, Sif was silent for a long time and said faintly: "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 is fine."

"Then why did you let Adam retreat to the second line?" Sif was a little puzzled.

Roland smiled but said nothing. Obviously, this was another impromptu test.

Sif's eyes suddenly became sharp.

She liked Roland's random test questions very much.

This kind of question often has no ready-made answers to refer to, and requires her to think.

Since it requires thinking, let's rule out the conclusions that don't require thinking first.

First, rule out that Roland excluded Adam from the core circle because of anger.

Roland is not such an impulsive person.

Sif's brain was working fast, thinking about various possibilities, but still got nothing.

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

Transferring Adam from the army to the powerless Cultural Bureau was nominally a horizontal transfer, but in fact a demotion.

Although the level was the same, the power and prospects were too far apart, and he might even be marginalized.

No matter how open-minded Adam was, he would feel uncomfortable.

Roland did this, naturally, not wanting to consider Adam's feelings.

Since it was not because of anger, and he didn't care what Adam thought, it was naturally for a more important purpose than Adam.

Sif's eyes were a little more strange, and she said faintly:

"To maintain 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 astonishment to relief, and finally to relief.

Sif really grew up.

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

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

"Adam must be punished, otherwise he will not be able to convince the public."

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

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

"Who said that?"

Roland shook his head slowly, and said seriously: "If Adam can't even distinguish this truth, there will be no place for him in the Cultural Department."

Although he was transferred from an important position, Roland did his best for Adam.

Retain the administrative level, save his wife and children, and the fault of concealment is only a light punishment.

If you are resentful of heavy rewards and light punishments, you are a standard ungrateful person with bad intentions. Such people cannot be used at all.
