It was already the end of November, and the Rose Palace was decorated with frozen green branches and leaves, and the top of the courtyard was covered with snow.
Lily is sitting in the study at the moment, and there is a brazier next to it, exuding warm red heat. Although there are magic circles and facilities to maintain the temperature in the palace, she is still used to such flames, which makes people feel a touch of warmth, rather than facing the cold and unchanging decorations around them.
Putting an orange beside the brazier, Lily shook the cradle beside her, and saw her child still sleeping in it, and she felt a lot of happiness in her heart. I remember that she was like this when she was a child, sitting around the fire with her family, talking about the happy things that happened to each of them.
Although they were from a noble family, the Lily family was not that kind of big noble family, but an ordinary small noble family. The family's fief was only a small piece, and it could only support two knights. The most valuable among them is the vineyard on the plain at the foot of the mountain.
Relying on the brewed wine, the family can obtain a stable income every year, and on the day of the winter festival, the father will also buy various gifts for his brothers and sisters.
Compared with the constrained ladies of the big family, Lily's life was much easier when she was a child. Because she was the youngest and was taken care of by several older brothers and sisters, she did not undertake any high expectations and heavy responsibilities.
In the words of her father, as long as she grows up healthy and gets married, it will be fine.
The family's business is done by several brothers, and some family relationships are maintained or established. Several of her sisters have already completed them, and they are all doing well, so there is nothing to worry about. When she was a child, she often visited several brothers-in-law's houses, played around and looked at the scenery, which broadened her horizons a lot.
As a result, Lily is neither as eager for power and status as those children of endangered nobles, nor as full of fantasies and high expectations for the outside world as those eldest ladies who have been in the boudoir for a long time.
Well, anyway, it's not too much pursuit, Lily has been living a life like a salted fish, she doesn't have too high expectations, she is very satisfied.
It's a pity that the development of reality is too fast. In the two or three years of marriage with Aimanke, she often wakes up from her dreams and wonders if everything is true.
I'm just a daughter of a small country noble in the southern part of the empire. How could I suddenly become the queen with the highest status in the empire? What the hell happened
Sitting beside the quiet burning brazier, Lily shook the sleeping basket lightly, her pupils following the flames, thinking of the figures of the past.
"Your Majesty, Sir Severa is here." A maid in the study reminded softly beside the Queen's ear.
"Well, let him in." Lily adjusted the folds on her clothes a little, then sat on the wooden chair by the brazier and waited.
After a while, the maid gently opened the door, and then a man in military boots walked to the door, first saluting, and then seeing the queen and the cradle in the room, before slowing down and introducing his identity.
"Your Majesty and Your Royal Highness are well. I am the commander of the 56th Legion of the Empire, Sifrey. It is a great honor to have an audience."
"Come in, Junior Severly." Lily smiled, then waved.
Then the officer came to the room, feeling a little restrained for a while, not knowing whether to stand or sit, even though the maid had put the chair thoughtfully.
"Let's sit still, it's more tiring for me to raise my head and talk to you." Lily looked at Severly and comforted her slowly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The legion commander sat down a little excitedly.
"I called you when I was busy, and I don't know if it disturbed your work." Lily asked the maid to bring hot tea to the officer.
"Thank you, I wasn't disturbed, but I'm very honored." He took the teacup and carefully placed it on the coffee table in front of him.
Sifrey once studied in Emenas and was also a student of City Walled College. After Lorraine and Bumansa graduated in succession in the past, Lily, the veteran of the society, briefly served as the president for two years.
Although she felt that what she was doing was far inferior to that of Lorraine and Bumantha, fortunately, the foundation of the society had been laid, and she only needed to maintain it simply. And this younger brother Sifrey, the rookie genius of Chengzhai College in those two years, won the third place in the Winter Festival Gala.
"I'm very grateful to Sister Lily, who accepted me into the club and gave me a lot of help." Sifrey recalled the past and said with emotion, although he was a genius, he started too late, and his low status, In the Walled Academy, where aristocrats are lined up, they have always been marginal figures.
It was not until later that he entered the 'Black Water Lily' club. Since then, he was recognized by many students in the same school and gained rare experience exchanges, discussions, extraordinary pharmacy assistance, etc. It was also during those two years that his strength grew rapidly. He became famous at the Winter Festival Gala.
Although some senior students have a general attitude towards Lily, the president, in his heart, this senior has always been a person worthy of respect.
"It's all in the past, and it's inseparable from your own efforts." Lily shook her head and said what Lorraine once said to the members of the society. She had no experience at that time, and many of her methods and words were imitating the notes left by Loren.
"Actually, I called you here this time, hoping to get your help." Lily said slowly.
"I am willing to go through fire and water for Her Majesty the Queen." Hearing this, Severly stood up straight, because the sound was too loud and the child in the cradle was also awakened.
"Good, it's alright." Lily whispered to her child, and then gestured for Severly to sit down first.
"Actually, it is indeed a dangerous and arduous task." Seeing that the child had stabilized, Lily let the maid on the side continue to rock the cradle, and then she turned around to talk to Severly.
"Because the current situation has changed a lot, I need a group of loyal people to defend the Rose Palace."
"Don't rush to agree, I want to tell you that this task may face many dangers, and sometimes it may implicate you because of my identity." Lily explained in advance.
"Understood." Sifrey nodded calmly at this time. He was not a young man with hot blood. After experiencing military training, he was naturally keenly aware of the changes in the empire.
When the emperor was still alive, the only object of allegiance to the legion was the emperor Aimanke, but after the death of His Majesty Aimanke, there was a big problem. Years, and at this time, should he be loyal to the weak queen, or should he obey the command of the regent, another His Royal Highness who should have been on the throne.
The Regent is undoubtedly higher than Her Majesty the Queen in terms of strength and reliability, but people are different. He graduated from Emenas and was once a member of the 'Black Water Lily' society, so he was naturally labeled Queen Lily.
Instead of escaping the label of being a person inside and out, it is better to embrace this identity and become a loyal henchman of Her Majesty the Queen.
There are not so many options in the world to choose from, Sifrey undoubtedly embarked on the only optional path, and he will also try to protect the queen and the prince, so that they can truly become the ruler of the empire, and he will also In the process, reach the peak of life.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved." Looking at the Legion Commander who swore allegiance in front of her, Lily tapped her fingers on her chest, expressing her peace of mind.
"Before the end of the year, you and your legion will be transferred to the vicinity of Titenia, and then I will trouble you."
"The star of the Empire's army, the 'Blood Frontier of the Crossfire' Lord Sifrey."
After this, the rare demon Sequence 7 superhuman in the empire slowly retreated.
