Chapter 56: A Way Out for the Nun
In the Japanese-style hall, the old grandfather in black samurai clothes had a bleak expression and his words seemed extremely desperate.
The ugly man and Lily's mother all looked gloomy and regretful after hearing this.
However, the girl could not empathize with this.
Being in the smoky hall, she even felt like laughing when she saw these elders acting in such an ugly manner.
When did I lose respect for them in my heart?
In her eyes, her grandfather was the epitome of wisdom and stability...
He can teach me a lot of great truths, and that often means that it is right and that this is how life should be.
What about her father? In her eyes, her father was more like a friend who grew up with her.
The father and daughter have the same hobbies and similar world views. If they encounter any messy and disgusting things, he will follow her to point fingers and curse.
My mother is not so kind. Most of the time she has a cold face and looks like, "Don't bother me if there is nothing to do."
But her mother is very capable. When Lily makes a mistake accidentally, she will criticize her harshly, so that she can deeply understand the lesson and try not to make the same mistake again next time.
Mother is also the person Lily fears the most.
But now, seeing these loved ones showing such powerless and decadent expressions in the face of the situation, seeing them all seem to be regretting...
But Lily only felt that life was illusory.
They have taught themselves the correct outlook on life and the world since childhood, and have taught themselves to be kind and to uphold the truth of justice.
But in the end, the people who taught her didn't take these words seriously at all! In the face of interests, they threw all those principles behind their heads without a second thought.
That's what happened when I heard about Andy the other day.
Right now, it's still like this! They seem to be regretting and are very angry about being abandoned by the organization, but is this really regret for the choice they made? What is the reason for their anger? It's just that their own interests have been damaged and they feel pain.
If his own family's safety was not involved, and he saw other people in the organization being arrested and interrogated by the royal family, or even losing their lives, I'm afraid the only thing my grandfather would say was that this was a necessary sacrifice, right?
It was as if he had made the decision to abandon Andy without any hesitation! Could he not know that Andy would definitely lose his life because of this?
Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but feel sad.
Ever since she spoke out about Andy's matter a few days ago, she has been under house arrest, which has also made her see more clearly the true nature of her elders.
My father, who seems like a friend, is actually a coward. He always obeys my mother and grandfather and has no opinions of his own.
A strict and powerful mother is nothing but an empty figure who only acts like an elder and is unreasonable and only cares about authority.
And the wise and far-sighted grandfather is more like an old fool.
The indifference and calmness on the surface are nothing but self-righteousness! They live in their own world, following the character habits they have developed over the years, and in their peaceful daily lives, they think they are all strong.
But in reality, they neither have the heart nor the ability of a strong man.
Maybe this cannot be called weak, but it is just similar to a junior like me, a group of people who go with the flow.
He thinks he is in control of everything, but in reality he is always guided and manipulated by the situation.
All the choices seem to be made by their own heart, but in essence they are not their own! They are like this, and that Butler Weaver is like this.
The so-called anti-royal organization is still like this...
Who is really in control of everything? Lily thought of the skinny boy who lived in the wooden house by the sea.
Although he seems weak and is imprisoned and controlled by the organization, is he really weak?
The butler, who seemed extremely powerful in the eyes of the people, was defeated by this weakling.
Moreover, it is very relaxing.
From the beginning, it has only been a few days since I ran to see him...
Before, I was panicking because my elders were taken away, so I didn’t think about this matter too much.
Now think about it, what a horrible method this is?
More importantly, it was the letter.
Was that letter really just addressed to Bishop Norman?
She originally thought it was.
But now...
Kneeling in the hall, the girl was in a trance and couldn't help but recall the complicated look Andy gave her when he wrote the letter.
What did that look mean? She didn't care at the time, as her whole mind was on how to defeat the housekeeper.
Later, when he met Bishop Norman and understood the organization's true plan, he thought Andy had foreseen the conspiracy.
So he was surprised to see that he, a little traitor, was different from other members of the organization.
Later, after confronting her grandfather and being confined by her family, she thought that Andy had guessed the decision of her grandfather and others long ago, so he looked at her with mixed emotions.
Is he unsure whether he will go along with his family or go against them? She has been thinking this for the past two days.
Until today, until the butler stepped down, the royal family launched a large-scale manhunt, and the situation became extremely turbulent.
She finally understood what that look meant! "Knowing that a group of villains from our Kezia family would choose to betray him, he still had to save their lives."
"This feeling must be very helpless..."
Thinking self-deprecatingly in her heart, the girl looked at the faces around her that were either desperate, sad, or crazy and cursing, but she had no intention of really standing by and watching.
No matter what, the people around her are her family.
Her grandfather and parents are her closest relatives whom she cannot give up. She no longer has confidence in them, but she still loves them.
They may be stupid and self-righteous.
But at least they didn't really do anything evil.
Judging from the actions rather than the heart, everything can be made right.
Since Andy left him this way out, he should have guessed that he would not abandon his family.
As long as I bring my family to apologize to him afterwards...
Thinking of this, Lily finally spoke.
"We still have a chance."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"A chance to survive."
…
The Japanese-style hall seemed noisy and messy at this moment, but in fact everyone was very sensitive.
Even though Lily's words were not loud, they still made everyone stunned for a moment, and then they all looked over.
"Good niece, what's the solution? Tell me quickly!"
An uncle-like family member hurriedly asked, totally unconcerned about whether her niece was reliable or not given her young age.
But it wasn't just him. The other people around him also stared at the girl as if they had grabbed their last straw, not wanting to miss any chance of her survival!
"We can apply for political asylum."
Lily said calmly: "This way we can escape the capture of the York royal family."
"Political asylum?"
This word is common in the secular world, but it is not unfamiliar to extraordinary people.
Simply put, it means seeking protection from external forces or foreign officials.
If there really is a force powerful enough to fight against the York royal family and choose to protect the Cozias family, then the Cozias family will naturally be able to survive this catastrophe.
only……
After everyone looked at each other for a moment, they all felt disappointed.
To seek the protection of others, one must of course be worthy of being protected.
This is why they are disappointed.
The Kezia family was very wealthy, but what would this wealth mean in the face of the York royal family's high-profile crackdown? Even if they spent all their wealth, no one would choose to protect them.
Because this would anger the royal family of York, and the gains would not be proportional to the efforts.
Everyone shook their heads and sighed, not expecting anything from this.
Only the three old warriors who knew more about the inside story had something to think about after hearing this.
"You mean, using Andy's matter to exchange for someone's protection?"
the old grandfather asked in a low voice.
Andy's incident was both embarrassing and fatal to the York royal family, so it was impossible for them to let the news leak out.
However, the external forces cannot help but pay attention to the royal family's high-profile move, and they are certainly using all means to investigate the inside story.
In this case, if the Kozia family can provide clues and the truth of the matter, then it is not a luxury to save the lives of everyone in the family.
only……
Without waiting for Lily's response, the old warrior who asked the question's expression darkened again.
"It's useless. Even if we have extremely valuable intelligence, we can't leave the country now that we are being watched."
"There should be some spies from other countries in the country."
Lily's mother said unwillingly, "They must know some secret ways to leave."
"But how do we know where they are?"
The ugly man felt helpless about his wife's words, "There is no embassy. Even the royal family may not know who these people are. Where can we find them?"
"And don't forget, time is of the essence. Father said that if we don't get here tonight, the royal family will come to investigate."
Can't make it past tonight...
The middle-aged woman said nothing more after hearing this.
As she remained silent, her face gradually turned pale, her eyes became blank and helpless, and her former strong demeanor was gone at this moment.
Lily, who was watching silently, couldn't help but pursed her lips when she saw this.
Where to find it? Isn't there a lot of writing on that letter? Thank you for the tip from book friend 20230609093016579~ (End of this chapter)
