before he was crowned king

A dazed expression appeared on Lilian's face.

It never occurred to her that Sean would take the initiative to ask her about divorce.

divorce--

If she wants to be with Alex in the future, this should be an essential link.

But why did she feel empty and sad when she heard the man say this word.

"You said this...is, because of something at the banquet?" Lilian lowered her head lower and lower as she spoke, she actually felt a little sour.

"No." The man's voice was a little hoarse, "I know you and I are not happy together, and our marriage has no love."

"You don't love me, Lillian."

Sean's voice was very soft, but it hit Lilian's heart like a wooden hammer.

"No, no, I'm actually..." Lilian subconsciously defended, but when she said the word "love", her throat seemed to be pinched.

Sean lowered his eyes and gently took the girl's hand.

"Lilian, I didn't mean to condemn you. I was just stating the fact that feelings cannot be forced. This is not an embarrassing thing."

Lilian couldn't refute, her voice trembled slightly, "Among the nobles, many people are like us, aren't they?"

Sean gave a soft "hmm", "An ordinary marriage is also very good, but the situation is different now."

"You like Alex, don't you?"

Lilian's body was startled suddenly.

"You don't need to hide it from me, Lilian." The man's voice was like a gentle and deep piano sound, "When I first saw Erics, I knew why you chose me in the first place. You said you liked my hair Color, right?"

Lilian opened her mouth, but couldn't make a sound.

"Since you came to Rose Manor, I have been very worried about you. You have always been uninspired, and you always like to sit silently alone in the dusty room on the second floor. But recently, after Erics came back, you are alive Get up and look energized. It's not because of me, but I'm glad to see this change in you."

"Lilian, tell me everything. It's clear to me that you've been watching Alex, just as I've been watching you from behind the mask."

"Yes, I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm really sorry, Sean, I didn't mean to hide you, nor did I mean to deceive you." Lilian couldn't bear the condemnation in her heart, and she burst into tears of guilt. Luo Luo, "I just don't want to hurt you."

"You are very good to me, and you are my very important friend." Lilian choked up, "I, I know that I am too selfish, but I really don't want to lose you."

"I know, Lilian." The slender fingers pulled Lilian's chin up, and Lilian could feel the coldness gently brushing her cheeks.

The man helped her wipe away the crystals from the corners of her eyes.

"I know you've always been a good girl. I just don't want to be kept in the dark." Sean patted the girl's back regularly, with a rare gentle voice, "Don't worry, say it with peace of mind, I won't blame you of."

"I just want you to be happy, Lillian."

Concealment is not as easy as being silent.

It takes one lie after another to hide its dark truth.

Can not be exposed, can not be found.

Such fear and fear lingered in her heart every day, and Lilian was unable to bear it any longer.

So facing Sean's tolerant and considerate words, she easily let go of her heart and poured out everything slowly.

Lilian's narration is very detailed. From the time when she and Erics first met, the words are mixed with rich personal emotions.

Sean played the role of a patient listener. After filtering out most useless repetitions, he found that what Lilian said basically matched the content of the book.

Of course, Lilian wasn't stupid enough to tell him that she was an elf.

"Xion, I know this request is a bit excessive, but the matter of divorce...can you wait for a while." Lilian's face was full of shame.

Her situation is too embarrassing.

Even if she really divorced Sean now, she couldn't be with Alex right away.

Sean didn't reply quickly, and Lilian's words surprised him a little.

It seems that selfishness is indeed a common characteristic of all things.

At this time, there were three simple knocks on the door.

Lilian hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes in a panic, and left the man's embrace.

"I locked the door when I came in."

"Then I, I... go to open the door."

Sean sat on a chair, looking at the hurried figure of the girl.

"Janice?" Lilian looked at the maid standing at the door and asked, "What is Madam Mary's order?"

"Viscount Sean, are you there? Madam wants to see you now." Janice ignored Lilian's question and looked into the room with a straight face.

"This time? Is the dinner over?" Lilian frowned.

"The guests have gone back, Miss Lilian." Unlike other servants, Janice did not refer to Lilian as "Viscountess".

"Don't worry, Lilian. Mother probably came to me because of something at the banquet. You are tired today, so go to bed early." Sean walked to the door leaning on a cane as if he had known about Janice's arrival.

"Xion—" Lilian raised her hand, wanting to say something else, but Janice had already led Xien away.

What about the banquet?

Did Sheen offend Grand Duke Henry because she spoke for her?

It must be like this.

Madam Mary has always disliked Sean, and she will definitely use this excuse to punish Sean severely.

Thinking of this, Lilian couldn't help but panic, and walked out of the room quickly.

On the other side, Sean was slowly following Janice's footsteps, climbing step by step to the top floor extended by the spiral staircase.

This was no small challenge for his dilapidated body.

When he walked to the fourth floor panting, Janice was already waiting for him at the end of the corridor.

Looking at the light emanating from the door, Sean forced himself to calm down the chaotic atmosphere.

In the house, Mrs. Mary was sitting on the sofa by the fireplace, with a slender golden pointer on her legs, and the Bright Rose crest of the Cabed family hanging on her head.

This strange silence has lasted for a long time since Sean came in.

"Mother, what happened at the banquet was my mistake." Sean lowered his head, without making any excuses, and directly admitted his fault.

This can be regarded as a habit developed in the past five years.

Facing Mrs. Mary, explaining will only bring more pain.

He knew very well that he was like a puppy kept by Mrs. Mary's side.

As long as the owner agrees, it must be the puppy who broke the vase.

"Take off your mask." Madam Mary said coldly, "Kneel down."

This is where the punishment begins.

Sean put his cane aside, took off the iron mask, and knelt on the ground.

For a man, such an action may be too humiliating.

But for Sean, Mrs. Mary's method has lost its humiliating effect, and there was not much emotion on his face from the beginning to the end.

with a snap.

A blood-red mark appeared on Sean's intact face on the right side.

"Who allowed you to find Grand Duke Henry without authorization!" Madam Mary's face was gloomy.

"I'm sorry, Mother," Sean said softly, "I shouldn't have offended Grand Duke Henry."

Another bloodstain.

Sean swallowed a groan.

"You know that's not what I said!" Mrs. Mary's face was a little hideous.

"I was wrong, mother, I was too impulsive, I just wanted to protect the family's reputation." Sean lowered his head, still saying these words of apology over and over again.

Such ambiguity irritated Lady Mary.

After a moment of whispering, a beam of scorching fire directly attacked the young man's face.

Looking at the oncoming hot fireball, Sean didn't do anything, but closed his eyes slightly...

A wall of light quietly appeared in front of Sean.

After encountering the thin wall of light, the fireball spun violently a few times, and then slowly dissipated and disappeared.

"Arex?" Madam Mary raised her head, then turned to Janice who was standing at the door and scolded, "Who gave you permission to let him in?"

"Mother, what are you doing?" Alex frowned with disbelief on his face, "You actually used magic on an ordinary person?"

Madam Mary withdrew her hand and said with a straight face, "That's because he made a mistake."

"What mistake needs to be punished by magic?" Alex stepped forward and stood in front of Sean, "Mother, if I hadn't stopped you just now, your magic might have killed Sean. He is a member of our family. how could you do that?"

Madam Mary pursed her lips tightly, her eyes fixed on the young man who was still kneeling on the ground.

It was a bit of a coincidence that her son who was too righteous came here.

Perhaps there are indeed coincidences in the world.

But when something is too coincidental, it is premeditated.

Madam Mary gritted her teeth slightly.

At this moment, she realized that she might have been bitten by her own dog.

"You're right, Alex, what I did just now was too much." Madam Mary put the golden pointer in her hand on the edge of the sofa, "Help your brother up."

Shane knew he made it through again tonight.

Not only that, he also snatched a long period of safety in front of Mrs. Mary.

Sean is aware of the strength of the enemy.

For Mrs. Mary, killing her non-magical self is as easy as squashing a bug.

But restraint cycles are everywhere.

The hero Alex is the weakness of Mrs. Mary.

Erics held the cane and mask in one hand, and walked out of the room with the other hand supporting the frail man beside him.

Among the swaying black hair, he could faintly see the hideous and terrifying scars on Sean's face.

"Viscount Sean." Erics hesitated to speak.

"Just call me by my name." Sean's voice was a little weak, "Alex, thank you."

"I didn't do anything, um... Sean, are you okay?" A guilty look appeared on Alex's face, "I'm really sorry. Mother, she wasn't like this before, I think maybe it's because of my father's death. Her temperament has changed."

"Don't worry, I won't blame my mother. No matter how she treats me, I will never be able to repay her kindness." Sean suddenly stretched out his hand, "Can you please give me the mask?"

"Give."

The two stopped, Sean turned around and put the iron mask back on, and Erics also happened to see the long bloodstains on the other's face.

"Mother, does she, does she often treat you like this?" Erics was complicated in his heart.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that after five years of separation, his mother would turn into such a brutal person.

"Of course not. Madam Mary is gentle most of the time, except today."

"Is it because of that Duke?" Alex clenched his hands slightly, and said in a low voice, "Mother, I really did something wrong this time. She shouldn't be like this. I can't let her go on like this. Don't worry, I won't let you go on in the future." I will persuade her."

"Thank you, Alex, I'm glad to have a brother like you."

After sending Alex away, Sean left the resting bedroom and went to the study.

When he came to the desk, he took off the glass ring from his hand.

Under the dim light, a few drops of crystal clear liquid glistened in the glass ring.

This is his biggest achievement tonight.
