"In other words, this is the pet you picked up?”
Liliana was like an iceberg that would not melt for ten thousand years. Her pretty face was cold as she silently watched Gilgamesh drag Erika back.
"Don't pretend you don't know me, Lily!”
Erika struggled to get up from the ground and wiped the blood off her mouth.
During the process of being dragged back by Gilgamesh, the knight's recovery ability had already suppressed the injuries in her body. Now, other than her broken ribs, there were no other serious problems.
"Someone like you, covered in mud and unkempt, looks like a piece of trash who offended my king. It's really like you're pretending not to know you!”
Lilliana looked at the woman who had always bullied her in the past. She must be a little happy that she finally had such an outcome.
The moment she saw the miserable state of Erika, she knew what her former 'friend' had done.
After all, meeting Gilgamesh so quickly was a testament to the problem.
There were probably spies among the Black Bronze Cross.
Of course, this was not something that Liliana could care about now.
Compared to this, she was more concerned about her past friends.
"Hey, hey, hey! Liliana, we've been friends for so many years.”
Erika argued unwillingly, trying to stand up from the ground, but she still sat on the ground in pain.
No matter how she pretended not to care, the injury that was enough to endanger her life still existed.
However, the silver-haired Knight Ji ignored her completely.
"Your Majesty, can you hand over this rude fellow to me?”
Liliana gave a standard knight's salute with a look of anticipation on her face.
However, there was also a trace of fear in her pale blue eyes.
As expected, Gilgamesh said in a deep voice.
"So, where do you want to take my pet?”
There was a playful smile on his face. Although he was asking a question, his tone was unquestionable.
If he had not known about the relationship between Liliana and Erika, he would have been deceived.
However, the crime of deceiving a king was not so easily forgiven.
"I will naturally go and decorate this pet first before bringing her to see you!”
When the girl heard the anger in Gilgamesh's tone, she could not help but tremble.
After all, this was the king she was loyal to. Just the request just now was already overstepping her boundaries.
So, she immediately changed her plan. She had planned to take Erika away secretly, but she changed her excuse.
" At least treat her injuries first." Liliana looked at the calm but still sweating from the pain of her injuries with a pitiful expression.
"Then do as you wish. I'll let you off this time. Don't let me down, Lilliana!”
When Gilgamesh heard the girl's words, he could not help but relax his furrowed brows.
After all, she was a loyal subject to him. He still had to show the necessary magnanimity of a king, so he did not choose to nitpick and find Liliana's mistakes.
"Yes, thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty.”
Because of Gilgamesh's pressure, Liliana, who was slightly drenched in cold sweat, had a hint of fear on her face as she bent over deeply.
"Your Majesty, this person is the daughter of Paul Brantly, the commander-in-chief of the Bronze Black Cross, and she is called Elektra Brantly!”
Liliana said hesitantly. She knew how strict the king she served was, so she did not even have the courage to straighten her waist at this moment.
Perhaps this was also a symbol of her loyalty. What she had to do next was the duty of countless officials, the duty of 'remonstrance'.
Countless subjects had been killed because they had advised those tyrants. Although Liliana firmly believed in the character of her monarch, she was still a little uneasy.
Perhaps Gilgamesh's pride would not allow her to remonstrate with him, but no matter what, even if it was for her own loyalty, or for the sake of the knight's code, she could not hide it.
However, the king was also dissatisfied with Liliana's hesitation.
"If you have something to say, say it. I'm not a foolish king who can't listen to the advice of his officials. Or do you take me for something?”
Even though Gilgamesh's tone was very calm, the strength in his words still made Liliana tremble.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Forgive me for offending you!”
The young lady bowed respectfully once again, then gently exhaled, as if she wanted to let go of the pressure in her heart. Her light blue eyes were already filled with determination.
" If we detain Erika like this, I think Minister Paul will come back to ask for it. The Red Copper Black Cross is not someone who can defeat this generation's Red Devil.”
As Liliana spoke, her determined gaze made Gilgamesh feel a hint of admiration.
This kind of subject, this kind of person who dared to advise, was not afraid of death, and was extremely loyal was also what he wanted.
Therefore, Lilliana, who abided by the rules of the knight, had an unparalleled compatibility with Gilgamesh.
"So, I beg Your Majesty to retract your order and send Erika back.”
Her voice was trembling, and her face was full of struggle.
"If you're dissatisfied, please treat me as your pet.”
As she spoke, she closed her light blue eyes and waited for the king to punish her.
"Although it's stupid, I have to say that it's indeed loyalty, Lilliana.”
What awaited the young girl was not a punishment, nor was it a scolding. Instead, it was a gentle caress of her silver-haired hand.
"As a subject, you are considered qualified.”
As Gilgamesh spoke, he caressed the girl's soft silver hair.
"If that so-called Paul wants to come, this king will naturally let him know the wrath of a king. There's no need to worry about it.”
The king had a proud smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he didn't care about the highest knight in Italy at all.
That was true. In this world, in Gilgamesh's eyes, other than those who could gain his approval, everyone else was just a lowly bastard.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I'll take my leave first.”
The girl apologized and planned to leave. After all, if she didn't treat her friend's injury, it might endanger her life.
However, after she picked up Erika, she seemed to have thought of something and spoke to Gilgamesh in a respectful tone.
"Your Majesty, the ritual to summon the God of Disobedience has been basically completed. As long as you are ready, you can summon the God of Disobedience at any time.”
As she spoke, she respectfully waited for Gilgamesh to speak.
Outside the door, a haughty laugh came from the luxurious room. It carried an unquestionable will.
"The God of Disobedience, huh? Then, I'll look forward to it. Who will be the first bastard to die in my hands?”
