The meeting between Rhode and Lilian was only an interlude and everything went back on track thereafter. Lilian commended the soldiers who fought bravely in the battlefront and prayed for the souls of the deceased, hoping that they found peace in their afterlife. Then, she represented the Light Parliament and conferred the honor that Andre and his men deserved and hosted a grand celebration feast. Rhode had to admit that Lilian performed rather earnestly in public.
Even though Lilian knew that Rhode was most deserving of all the credit in this battle, it was already obvious that the Light Parliament was hostile toward him and he was also from the Munn Kingdom, so she couldn't put in good words for him. However, she expressed her gratitude to Rhode for bringing the effective Holy Maiden Statues and Magma Guards into battle. Of course, this upset the military, but what could they do to her?
