Chapter 34: The Gradually Strengthening Trio
In the exclusive training grounds that only open at a specific time, Seiya, Ciel, and Liliana continue to train tirelessly.
Tears is gradually getting stronger in front of three people, Tears who only relied on Jet and Wind Blade to fight, has already started to get a bit overwhelmed.
In order to welcome the upcoming college exchange competition, Xingyou and Liliana both hope that they can become a bit stronger.
Even with constant hard work, you can only get a little stronger, but as long as there is a little bit of progress, then you are still getting stronger!
In this battle, Tear discovered that Sei finally relaxed the tense nerves he had been holding back, and didn't overdo it in trying to break through.
Computational power, magical control, and situational prediction have gradually improved significantly.
Most importantly, he finally stopped being obsessed with zero-distance close-range magic and began to develop in all directions.
Cerlon excels in terms of technique and has also made up for his lack of magical strength.
Liliana doesn't just rely on high-intensity magic to fight, her chanting speed and small to medium-sized magic have also progressed quite quickly.
After more than two weeks of training, even Luozhi gradually felt that the strength of the three had been significantly improved.
Tears in the midst of battle, I found a person with an exceptionally absent mind.
Always been a positive and strong attack, Seron surprisingly played negatively defensive today.
Tears suddenly shouted: "Let's pause for a moment!"
Tianyu and Liliana, who had stopped in their tracks, looked at Selon with puzzled eyes as they caught their breath.
Because they also clearly found that Seron's attention was not on Tiers' guidance of the war, which is something that has never happened before.
Liliana looked puzzled: "Seron, you're not in a good state today. What happened?"
Cerlon gazed at Liriana with unparalleled complexity, his attention unusually scattered due to the confidential report from yesterday.
If Liliana is considered a partner who can grow together, then such an important thing should not be hidden.
"Lilianna, your father, Duke Chris, is on his way to Bellos City!"
"He's colluding with the royal family to continue your engagement with the Hill family! To lure out your brother, Joo-won Chris!"
Generally speaking of one's own father going to school, it should be an extremely moving and exciting experience.
However, in Liliana's eyes, there was no such emotion, only deep fear.
That fear from deep within their souls is what makes Chris's family so loving.
"Father, why did he come here after all? His target is actually brother!"
Cerlon looked at Liriana who couldn't calm down like this.
So Cailon hesitated whether to tell Liriana or not.
"I don't know why they want to do what they're doing either, all I know is that Duke Chris has come to order you to prepare for the wedding."
"That day he is coming soon, it's just four days later!"
Lingzi and Xingyou exchanged a glance, why did it have to be that day!
Liliana lowered her head, her eyes trembling with fear, whispering repeatedly: "Only four days left?"
Is this what they call "fate"? Can't even escape that miserable destiny myself?
His own brother, in order to dissolve this engagement, would rather fall into black magic, just to save himself.
Why do they want to bring up old things! Is it because of brother?
Liliana clenched her own fists, she couldn't rely on her brother like this!
My brother has really paid too much for me.
This damned engagement will have to be ended by myself personally.
I wouldn't care about so-called blood ties, orders, and that shackling marriage contract!
Liliana looked at her companions who had been worrying about her all along, they had done so much for her.
If even the truth and everything are not told to them, can one still be their partner?
Liliana took a deep breath and slowly spoke out everything that belonged to her.
。。。。。。
Liliana was born in Chris's house in Blythe, which is a large family that dominates the kingdom's economy.
Having everything others can only dream of, those seemingly glorious material conditions!
But were these material conditions what Liliana herself wanted?
No!
Liliana wants something for herself, just that one thing called family.
Something that anyone should have, as if it were a matter of course.
But for Liliana, this was an immeasurably distant thing.
Because in Chris's family, there is no affection, only interests! Because interests are the foundation of maintaining the strength of Chris's family.
Liliana has been clumsy since she was a child and can't meet her father's strict requirements at all.
Liliana, who loves to cry, has always lived under the scolding of her family members, scolding Liliana's foolishness and weakness.
However, it was always her brother who saved Liliana from scolding.
That brother who can make Liliana believe that there is still something called familial affection in this world.
Her brother always liked to hold the petite Lilianna on the rooftop, gazing up at the sky after the rain, at that colorful rainbow.
"My silly sister, you don't need anyone's gossip at all, you're a genius."
"It's just that you haven't found a reason to get stronger, a path to move forward."
"Even if the whole world doesn't believe you're a genius, I still will. So!"
"Go ahead steadily! Behind you, as your brother, I will silently watch over and protect you!"
So even though Liliana has grown up, every time she looks up at the sky after the rain, the image of that tearful self will appear in her mind.
Until now, Liliana is still crazily chasing after that one person, always hoping to become stronger.
For that trust still deeply etched in her mind, Liliana wants to become stronger, just like her brother!
So did she grow up after all?
This question still doesn't have a definite answer, all we know is that we need to continue working hard and move forward.
Time and time again, she bravely moved forward, for that voice that always echoed in her heart, supporting Liliana.
But Lilliana didn't have time to grow stronger, she was still a child at that time.
A calamity befell Lilianna as she failed to meet her family's stringent requirements amidst a series of studies.
So she was treated as an abandoned child, even though Liliana was the biological daughter of Duke Chris!
Even as a discarded child, Lilianna still has her last value and benefit for the Chris family! That is her identity and body!
So even if Liliana herself was just a child, she had already become the sacrifice of the marriage between Chris's family and Hill's family!
To expand Chris's business in the Kingdom of Criston, Liliana still has this last value to be used!
At Chris's house, Liliana is just an object! An object used to open up the market!
Liliana was just an object in her father's eyes, to be married off to the dim-witted Novell Hill.
However, the brother who knew everything, although he was a genius of the Kingdom of Braine, did not have time to grow up.
To save this one Liliana who was a sacrifice, resolutely joined the "Tomb" organization.
Gave up being the heir of Chris's family, gave up that glorious future, just to save his only sister.
Even Lillian Anna didn't know what kind of price her brother had paid to make Chris and Hill give up their engagement and the huge benefits that came with it.
Liliana, who had been saved, seized the opportunity to leave Chris's house in the royal capital and headed to Bellows College, where her brother had once attended.
The rest is something that Xing Yu and others already know.
Liliana could feel the deep incredulity of Sei and Tsubaki, only Seron as a prince could calmly accept all this.
Because they are upper-class people, after enjoying material wealth and glory, they must bear the cost!
It's just that no one ever thought that the already broken engagement would be brought up again!
Liliana bit her cherry lips, with an unbearable sense of unwillingness.
"Although I don't know why, it will involve my own brother, but I absolutely won't agree with this marriage!"
"Even if it means giving up the surname Chris and becoming sworn enemies with the Chris family!"
