Just as the two girls were concentrating on their discussion, a maid brought them juice. The transparent glass contained ice cubes and light red raspberry juice.
The juice was slightly sour with a hint of sweetness and had a very refreshing taste. The two of them drank the juice and slowly stopped discussing.
Mrs. Filia next to her also finished writing and put down her quill.
"Has Teacher Filia finished writing?" Lan Lier asked curiously.
"Well, the design for the Dew Festival ceremony is almost complete. All that's left is finding people and rehearsing. I guess I'll need your help preparing some props during this time."
"It's okay, teacher. There's still some time before school starts." Lan Li'er agreed.
“I’ve written some songs recently, but unfortunately I haven’t found the right singer yet.”
"Oh? Is that so? Can I take a look?" Lan Lier stood up with a little excitement, trotted to Mrs. Filia's desk, and picked up the music score.
She tried to sing a few lines, but unfortunately she was a little out of tune.
"Okay, stop trying to show off. Your talent isn't in this area, otherwise I would have recommended you to the poetry department."
"Although I'm in the Alchemy Department, I have a heart that longs to sing. Look at the speakers I invented, they are very popular among everyone." Lan Li'er was a little unconvinced.
"Yes, yes, I really have to thank you for this, little Lanli~"
Lady Filia smiled, then walked over and sat in front of Loran Hill.
"Hello, are you Miss Lacey, the current head of the Carites family?"
"Hello, yes."
Loran Hill thought to himself that it was bad news. This man had met Angus and his daughter, and now he didn't have the suicide note with him, so it would be difficult to explain.
"So... can you tell me what happened to Angus later? After all, we knew each other." Lady Filia asked while looking at Loran Hill.
Although this once world-famous Cangqing singing girl has now retired, she still has a profound influence in the countries on the mainland and is someone who cannot be easily deceived.
"Angus and his daughter Elaine were attacked on their way back. Elaine died on the spot. Before his death, Angus handed the Chamber of Commerce over to me to manage and fulfill some of his wishes."
Loran Hill did not hide anything, and looked directly at Lady Filia, the blue-singing singer who had taught in Emenas.
Lady Filia's gaze seemed to penetrate the blurry shadows under the hood as she looked into Loranhill's clear blue eyes. After a long moment, she lowered her gaze, picked up the remaining glass of juice on the table, and asked.
"Will you avenge Angus?"
"why not?"
Loran Hill seemed to have no reason not to do so. She was not the kind of saint who would forgive all mistakes. People should bear the price for their actions. If justice was not enforced, order would be difficult to exist, and civilization would become empty talk.
"I'm a little surprised. I thought you were a gentle and kind girl."
Mrs. Filia said this because of a series of new regulations recently introduced by Carites, including improving the treatment of grassroots employees, providing assistance and protection for sick and disabled employees, and building new, uniform, clean and tidy housing for employees. These policies have attracted a lot of attention in Hopeland, and many people praised her as an angel of mercy.
Loran Hill shook his head, his hair swaying gently.
"Kindness and justice are not in conflict."
She recalled her past life. At that time, she was quite timid and gentle and considerate to the people around her. A friend once asked her a similar question: Why are you so gentle to everyone?
"Because I want others to treat me kindly." This was her answer after thinking for a long time.
The environment she grew up in was not a relaxed one. Her parents, especially her mother, were very good at using persuasive education. They never praised her. Even if she achieved good grades, they would only say, "You have to keep working hard and strive to get first place."
She once tried very hard to prove herself, and occasionally got first place in the exams a few times, but all she got was words like "keep up the good work next time."
A mother's wish is probably that she will never be satisfied and must keep moving forward and be better than other children.
But the experience of life is like the waves constantly coming to the beach. After one wave comes the next one. No one can guarantee that he will always be on top instead of being knocked down by the waves.
Everyone always talks about excellence and first place, but no one ever tells her how to live her life if she doesn’t get first place, if she is not so outstanding.
Walking on the road, stumbling and sometimes falling is unavoidable. She will also feel inferior and afraid of being laughed at by others. Based on the simple principle of exchange, if I am good to you and forgive your mistakes, you should also understand my shortcomings, not laugh at me, and be gentle to me.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, she is a person with a good character, but because of this, she cares more about the issue of justice.
If those who take advantage of the situation and break the rules are not punished, then it will harm those who diligently abide by the rules. This is why the more kind and lawful people are, the more they hate evil and chaos.
The Tisiphone family must bear the punishment they deserve, blood for blood, tooth for tooth. She hadn't taken action simply because the timing wasn't right. The system currently showed that her share of the Chamber of Commerce's income during this period was approximately 50,000 gold coins. It wouldn't have been so fast originally, but the outbreak of war and the resulting increase in ship prices had significantly accelerated the progress. By the time the three fleets returned from the westerly sea, she should have collected the remaining 50,000 gold coins, and her mission would be complete.
