Chapter 528 The Imperial Princess and the Rebel Leader 40
When Lilith was young, she was very lively and loved to play.
However, as she grew older, she gradually realized her identity and responsibilities as a crown princess, and her personality gradually became calm and steady, and she no longer showed her emotions on her face.
At the age of sixteen, she had already assisted Cha Jiu in handling the affairs of the empire. She acted skillfully and decisively, using both kindness and power. Whether it was the ministers in the court or the soldiers in the barracks who were accustomed to bloodshed and killing, they all feared and respected her.
Even the little bullies who were fearless since childhood and became interstellar ghosts who killed the insect tribe when they grew up - the eldest prince Caesar and the second prince Silius.
When facing the imperial sister, he was as timid as a quail, honest and modest, with his hands on his thighs, not daring to be arrogant or conceited in the slightest.
After the army's triumphant return.
Lilith faced the brother and sister and just opened her mouth: "You..."
The twins immediately began to reflect on themselves.
"My sister is right. One of our actions in this battle was too radical. We must be more careful next time..."
Lilith looked at them with a complicated expression: "Actually, I just want to compliment you on a good job this time."
“…Oh.” The twins touched their noses awkwardly.
Damn, that's an overreaction.
Lilith walked a few steps away and then turned back: "Am I usually very fierce to you or too harsh?"
The twins waved their hands quickly.
"That's not called ferocity, that's called majesty," Caesar said.
"That's not called strictness, it should be called strict love." Hillius also added.
Lilith nodded and left.
I don’t know whether she believed the twins’ lies.
The twins looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
After hearing this, Cha Jiu felt both amused and distressed.
What makes me sad is Lilith's strict self-discipline.
She always held herself to the strict standards of a royal princess, never relaxing for a moment and never taking a break for fun.
This resulted in her losing the company of some of her peers, and even Caesar and Cyrius were reluctant to get close to her.
She always walked alone on the road leading to the Council Chamber, rain or shine.
Lance wasn't worried.
He comforted his wife: "Many people will bury the most passionate feelings deep in their hearts, waiting for the person who can open the door to their hearts. Just like I met you, I believe Lilith will also meet the person who brings her the 'key to her heart'."
That will be the person who will truly accompany Lilith throughout her life.
Soon, Lilith's 18th birthday ceremony was coming.
The royal family prepared a grand ball for her.
The princes and nobles of the empire tried their best to get the outstanding men in their families on the ball invitation list.
There were also many princes from other countries who came from thousands of miles away to participate.
Their purpose was simple: to gain Lilith's favor and marry into the royal family.
Many people came from far away and arrived at the Imperial Capital Star in advance, temporarily staying in the palace.
So these days, Lilith always "accidentally" encounters various demons and monsters expressing their love to her on the way to the Council Chamber.
"My dear Princess Lilith, I want to compare you to summer, but I find that you are more gentle and lovely than summer..."
A prince from a neighboring country finished reciting a poem in an exaggerated tone, then conjured a rose out of thin air, handed it to Lilith, and looked at her lovingly.
"..." Lilith was calm and even wanted the guards to draw their swords and drive them away.
At this time, a soft laugh came from the side.
"Pfft... In this day and age, who still recites poetry to express love? You are not Shakespeare."
Lilith looked towards the man.
The person who spoke was a silver-haired young man. He was wearing a white suit, had an upright figure, a temperament as pure as frost and snow, and a smile as bright as the sun.
His eyes were of light gold, as bright as the morning light, extremely beautiful.
Lilith's heart beat faster.
The prince who sent the rose was so angry that he asked: "Which country's prince or noble are you from?"
Lilith also cast an inquiring look.
The young man noticed Lilith's curiosity, and then he patted the silk clothes in the hands of his attendants and said, "I'm here to bring clothes to Her Majesty the Queen."
The prince's expression suddenly turned contemptuous: "So he is just an inferior person who makes clothes."
Lilith frowned.
She did not like others to divide her subjects into different classes.
The young man smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you keep saying that you love the princess more than your own life, but all you have is a corny poem and a shabby flower. This makes people doubt your sincerity."
The prince retorted: "You know it's hard to grow roses in interstellar soil. This one I have cost five million star coins."
The young man glanced at the wilted flower in his hand and chuckled, "Stuff like this will be thrown away in my rose garden."
He then turned to look at Lilith and said, "Your Highness, if you like, I can send all the roses in my garden to you. I guarantee that they will bloom beautifully and fully."
Lilith shook her head: "I don't like flowers. They are gaudy and useless."
"Then I will do my best to find you whatever gift you like to celebrate your birthday." The young man looked at her with a smile in his eyes, as warm as a spring breeze.
Lilith was stunned.
The prince was anxious when he saw the two of them talking to him as if he didn't exist, and he started to speak to make himself felt: "Since you said my roses and poems are not enough to express my sincerity, then do you have any better ideas?"
Seeing that Lilith had not given an answer to the question of a gift, the young man thought for a moment and said, "Since Your Highness doesn't like flashy things, why not give her something practical?"
He said, "There is a Devil's Forest on Planet R159. Deep in the forest, there is a plant of Moonflower Grass guarded by high-level alien insects. After taking it, it can help psychics break through their talents and prolong their lives. It is very useful. Why don't you pick it yourself and show your sincere gratitude to His Highness!"
What!
The prince almost screamed: "The weakest of the alien insects in the Devil's Forest are as terrifying as stinging bees. Why don't you go there yourself!"
The young man shrugged: "Since you don't dare, then I'll go. Tsk tsk, it seems your sincerity is just this much."
The prince gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
Lilith wanted to speak up to dissuade them, but was sent over by someone from the ministers who had been waiting in the council room for a long time and asked them to leave.
When she came back from handling government affairs, the maid told her that the young man and the prince had gone to the Devil's Forest together.
The maid was anxious: "Your Highness, should we send troops to rescue? If the prince of another country gets into trouble in our Imperial Star, it will be bad if the news gets out."
Lilith didn't want to waste troops on such a trivial matter.
"I'll go."
“Hey”
When Lilith rushed to the Devil's Forest, she saw the prince sitting alone on the ground outside the forest, covered in dust and looking very ugly.
But when he walked a hundred meters into the forest, he encountered a giant praying mantis, which almost chopped off his head.
He quickly fled and never dared to go in and look for the Moon Grass again.
Lilith frowned and asked him, "Where is the one with silver hair?"
