Lilith could not help but say," To make him fall in love with me?"
"3rd older sister, it is known that you are in love with Prince Abnus, but to destroy one's spirit root just to get the attention of Prince Abnus is really outrageous, and if this news spread out, then it would bring shame to the house Valyria."
"What fifth lady (Crystal) said is right. Apart from that, you should apologize to Prince Abnus, as your actions must have brought unhappiness to Prince Abnus heart."
Lilith scoffed in her heart. She should apologize? Which female would love to lose their face in front of their lover or crush. They truly wanted to make her lose her face.
Crystal finished speaking and looked towards Lilith to see her reaction and saw her looking at her already with a peculiar sight.
Crystal might look beautiful and elegant but have knowledge to twist words in her accord.
Lilith looked up and spoke with authority," I think all of you have accused me enough. I want to ask you all, is this the way you punish someone — without letting the other side explain them."
This made all the ministers to seal their mouths. But they were shocked, as they thought she was weak and cowardly and would be easy to suppress. They weren't expecting her to say such things with such authority.
Lilith looked all the ministers sealed face and shocked faces of members 2nd and 3rd household and felt satisfied.
"I expected this. Now, I would answer all your questions one by one. Firstly, you all are accusing me of the crime I did not even committed. Even if you believe that I tried to destroy my spirit root, then am I also the one who destroyed my sister's spirit root."
This made the people who were accusing of her this crime to look embarrassed as they did not even think about the spirit root of her sister which was also harmed. Before they could even explain themselves, they were stopped by Liliana's hand movement.
Liliana did not say anything, just enjoyed the show her sister was putting. She was amused by this situation. A bunch of dumb people who were treated by them as a royalty. They both never tried to remove their facades, which could have been removed so easily.
Lilith continued, "Secondly, I want to ask everyone present here why I did not get the news of the Prince Abnus arriving here."
Ivy and Crystal did not take the words said by her seriously. But when her first sentence made all ministers seal their mouths and second one made their mother and fathers send panicking glances to each other. They were alert, yet could not find what there was to panic.
Lilith internally smirked such a bunch of fools, whenever a noble person came to someone's house they send a card. It was a very simple rule, to never go in ones home uninvited, always send them a note before.
Thus, it is natural that Price Abnus surely send a card before. Yet, no one cared to tell the 1st household anything.
" 3rd lady, its...."
Lumi was interrupted by Lilith," 2nd aunt, I was not finished. You all accused me of something that I didn't do. Also, walls have ears, if this matter went out this would surely bring shame to our house."
She was indirectly implying that they could not keep anything in their stomachs and the false accusation of her destroying her spirit root would not bring shame to our house, but this would surely do.
Ivy and Crystal were still trying to comprehend the meaning of her words. But all were not like them, 2nd and 3rd aunt Lumi and Juniper were from noble household and could comprehend the meaning behind her words and could only keep quiet.
" Lastly, who said that I was in love with Prince Abnus?"
"3rd older sister do not need to lie. We all are family, we would always support you no matter what."
Many people's heart would be moved by hearing this. But when Crystal said this in already a tense atmosphere, they could not help but glare at her lightly.
Lilith suddenly started moving towards her. Crystal could not help but feel like she is prey and Lilith her predator from whom she had to be afraid of.
" Looks like 5th younger sister knows me better than myself. 5th younger sister, Prince Abnus, is a very dignified man and has great potential. When he was showing his powers, one was very mesmerized and started respected him. This one has no feelings towards the Prince. You must be very careful about what you say 5th younger sister because if you said something wrong then it would create rumours that would leave a stain on mine and Prince Abnus characters."
Crystal was stupefied, only one thought was in her mind that how this moron become so much clever. If this continued, then surely all her plans of becoming the next dragon queen would be in vain.
" Now, I hope you all would not accuse and punish me of destroying my spirit root just to get the attention of Prince Abnus." said Lilith while looking at Old Madam Feng." Oh, and also not only mine spirit root was destroyed but my sister's- Lilith too. So, why do I feel you all are ganging up on me."
Lumi understood the critical condition and replied to Lilith while gritting her teeth before Old Madam Sheng could push the situation on edge with her reply." 3rd Lady, you are worrying too much. Old Furen (Old Madam Feng) was anguished for you and was not angry with you. We truly believe you. It was just a coincidence that where Prince Abnus was going to meet with your father, yours and your sister's spirit root."
The last words were choked out by Lumi.
Liliana, who was enjoying the show, finally spoke up," Do not need to worry about that 2nd aunt. We are truly thankful that you thought about us."
Lumi was relieved hearing this but could not understand the sarcasticness.
Old Madam Feng was annoyed with everyone as she could not punish those two brats. Thus, ended the meeting fastly.
" That's enough. It's just a trivial method. End this meeting very fast, one's head hurts."
Liliana and Lilith looked purely amused.
They both bid their farewell but before getting out they looked towards something or more specifically at someone. This was done so fast that no one would be able to detect it.
The specific someone was Frostine, who was quiet during the whole ordeal. If see very closely, one could see worry and slight bit fear on her face." Her personal maids Fei Hong and Mo Chou looked at her in concern. Mo Chou could not help but ask.
" Young miss, are you fine?"
Frostine did not reply, instead just looked at the place where they both were standing. She could not help but feel that she would face many difficulties in initiating her plan.
She started walking toward her chambers. She was followed by her personal maids who were concern about her well being.
