Chapter 399: Having a death wish
Chapter 399: Determined to Die
Lilith took the initiative to let Li run away. After watching Xiaoli help Li onto the carriage and heading north along the road, Lilith returned to the palace with a heavy heart.
The temple is in chaos due to the destruction caused by the devil.
The king has returned to the palace, and the final matters will naturally be handled by the ministers.
"Lady Lilith, the king is resting. Please be patient."
The attendant standing in front of the palace gate glared at Lilith.
Now the news spread throughout the palace that Lilith had released the criminal for whom the king had personally offered a reward.
The king didn't want to see her, so Lilith had to stand outside the door and wait, and this time she waited for Prince Leon to appear.
Leon was wearing a sturdy armor and walked with a strong and powerful step.
The jeweled scabbard at the waist hit the side of the leg armor as he walked.
Leon walked up from behind and stood in front of Lilith.
"Let him go. Aren't you afraid of death?"
Lilith smiled slightly, and there was a lot of charm in her smile.
"Your Highness, didn't you catch anyone either?"
Leon was choked and simply ignored Lilith.
Leon came before the attendant, took off the sword from his waist, and took off his heavy iron gloves.
After taking off some of the weights, Leon felt obviously more relaxed. He kept moving his fingers, and after calming himself down, he pushed open the closed door of the palace.
The king in the palace had taken off the Pope's robe. He was wearing his most comfortable white silk robe and frowning as he stared at the chessboard in front of him.
The chessboard in front of the old king was filled with black and white chess pieces, but the only piece missing was the black king chess piece.
"Father! Why are you playing chess? The High Priest said that you need to rest now!"
The old king's body was no longer young. In the process of fighting against the devil, the king forcibly overdrew his magic power and physical strength.
Like Li, the old king suffered from severe overdraft, which had a serious negative impact on his body.
Li has the necromancy to repair his body, but the old king does not have such miraculous means.
The king's aging was visible to the naked eye. His hair had turned completely white and he kept coughing while sitting there.
"Father!"
Leon walked forward, took the water cup on the table, handed it to the king, and helped the king calm down.
Originally, Leon did not have such a good relationship with his father, but after experiencing many things during this period, Leon found that it is really not easy to support a kingdom.
Leon doesn't want his father to fall before he grows up.
"…Father, I don't understand why you suddenly want to break up with Vizar Lee. If he were still alive, he would definitely be able to heal your injuries."
The king took a sip of water to relieve the itching in his throat.
"Kid, you have to know that as a king, you can't expect others to help you. When there is a common enemy, Li is a very powerful helper, but when the common enemy disappears, Li will also become the most powerful opponent."
"I know! I understand, but we can bring up the conflict later. There's no need to cut it off so quickly!"
Leon thought his father made this decision too hastily.
When the king was lying beside the devil's body and asked Leon to capture Li, Leon thought he had heard it wrong.
It would be okay to first let Li cure his father's overdrawn health and then make our position clear to Li.
"Silly boy, how do you think the demons and vampires got infected? Let Li come to treat me. Are you afraid that I won't die fast enough?"
The king struck Leon hard on the head.
Leon touched the back of his head, feeling a little scared.
Just as my father said, if Li Xian wanted to kill the king suddenly, it would be very easy.
"But father, we have all eaten Li's cooking. Shouldn't the curse have been gone long ago..."
The king patted Leon on the head again. This disappointing son of his was really asking for trouble!
"So, go and invite Miss Lilith in now, and remember to be polite!"
Leon slapped his head suddenly, and finally understood why his father left Lilith outside.
How can Lilith be a spy? This is clearly a life-saving talisman!
Outside the palace gate, Lilith lowered her head and waited for her verdict.
If I let Li go with my own hands, the king would definitely not forgive me, and I didn't know what kind of death the king would give me.
Just as Lilith was thinking about this with her head lowered, Prince Leon, who had entered earlier, suddenly rushed out of the palace.
The monkey-like Leon jumped directly in front of Lilith, bowing and nodding to greet her.
"Lady Lilith, I was ignorant before, please don't bear grudge against me~"
Seeing Leon so enthusiastic, Lilith took a breath and stepped back, wondering why this prince had gone crazy.
"Hehe~ Lady Lilith, my father is asking you to come in, please~"
Leon's flattering smile made Lilith feel uncomfortable. Lilith walked into the palace with a suspicious look on her face, not knowing what new tricks the king was playing.
Did the king decide that he would let his son disgust him to death?
This is too heartbreaking!
After entering the palace, the king was very normal. He sat there seriously and didn't look like he had eaten something wrong.
"Sir Lilith, you let the criminal go without permission. This is a serious dereliction of duty!"
"Your Majesty, this is my fault. I will not object to any punishment you may give me."
Lilith responded with the words she had prepared long ago, and then waited patiently for the butcher's knife to fall on her.
I am a vampire, and it will take some effort to execute me. The king needs to dispatch a few priests, or use a powerful artifact to punish me...
Lilith began to ponder these things in her head again, but she saw the king cough twice for no apparent reason.
"Ahem~ Lord Lilith's actions this time really made me very dissatisfied, and the accompanying sergeant also lodged a serious protest. Considering the entire process and result of the incident, I will now impose the following punishment on you!"
What is coming will eventually come. Lilith has no intention of escaping it. She just hopes that the king can give her a quick death.
"Sir Lilith, I deprive you of the right to command the Kingdom's army! From today on, as an administrative officer, you can only be responsible for clerical work!"
"…ah?"
Lilith is awaiting the verdict and wants to hear how she will die.
Instead she heard that the king had simply taken back her command.
How could she have any command authority? All the things she did before were orders signed by the king himself.
Lilith pondered for a long time before she realized that the king simply took back the rights that did not belong to Lilith, and then let her continue working.
"Ahem~Since the mistake Lord Lilith made is too serious, I will deprive you of two years' salary, that's it."
"what!"
I work for you, but you don’t pay me!
Lilith, who had originally been determined to die, immediately got furious.
"You old thing! Just try to deduct my money!"
