Episode 56's

The meeting ended with the Crown Prince's decision to punish Duke Wilen for corruption and bribery, as well as having to accept the punishment that befell Lady Arina.Duke Wilen was revealed to be a commoner and all his property was confiscated,there was not a single dime of bronze in her hand right now, while Lady Arina was still in search after escaping from the meeting room.

The Palace is still conducting a 4-day search, while Lily and Zergan are still busy dealing with the crystal obstacle where in the sacred temple, the,many witches are plagued by a crystal center where the crystals belonging to the magic tower and belonging to the Holy Temple are connected through an intermediary of unknown shape, but their function is the same,only other purposes limit the two crystals.

"Zergan, which flow is a little strange, this is different from the flow mana 2 weeks ago",

"I also think that, the crystal is also a long time dimmer, this can be dangerous..",

Lily and Zergan were researching the Mana Crystal in the basement of the Sacred Temple, its Mana Crystal changed, the light that filled the crystal slowly dimmed,

"I have to go to the magic tower to find out the condition of the other Mana Crystals" Lily said seriously,

"Then I'll come",

"No way, you stay here and monitor the change of the Mana Crystal as well as look for other clues, I'll take care of the magic tower",

"Bad lika..",

Zergan immediately frowned as soon as Lily forbade him from coming along, but Lily was already used to Zergan's attitude like that,

"Easy!I'll go first, call me if there's any change",

Lily walked straight out of the room towards the entrance of the Sacred Temple, halfway through which she passed the slightly strange Great Priestess?,

"Great Priest!Long time no see you.. What happened to your face!?", Lily was surprised to see the pale and thin-looking Great Priestess' face without flesh, under her dark eyes was also very clear, so did his tired-looking eyes,

"Eh?..Ah.Welcome to noon His Majesty, Manu, in fact I have not slept for 1 week because Saint Zergan asked me to search the entire holy temple.hahaha" replied the Great Priest limp but still smiling, smiling,

"How can you laugh in such a situation?.Then Zergan is overdue!" lily said as she looked at the Great Priestess in disbelief,

"It's okay.At a moment I will also betira-" "DAMIANN!!WHERE'RE YOU!?WHERE'S MY FILE?!DON'T WASTE TIME!AFTER THIS YOU HAVE TO CLEAN UP THE LIBRARY!",

Zergan's shout sounded very clear from the underground not too far from where Lily and the Great Priestess stood,

"You must be very troubled..Great Priestess.", muttered Lily along to feel how the fate of the Great Priest had been since Zergan had returned,

"It's okay Your Majesty.lagain I stay a little while longer,hehehe" said the Great Reverend resigned, saying,

"Don't say that to the Great Priest!",

/Skip at the entrance of the sacred temple

'Great Priestess will be fine, right?.I'm so messianic with her because I have to take care of the little ones..'

A horse carriage entered the gate and stopped right in front of the entrance, Lily who was standing there was confused to see the chariot without the emblem,a girl got out of the horse carriage and ran towards Lily,

"Lilly!!Missed you!!" said the girl while hugging Lily tightly,

"Eh?Yesra?!" how shocked Lily gets a sudden hug from Yesra, the girl she last met in the meeting room, and,

"Where have you been!?I haven't had a chance to welcome you in 2 weeks!" yesra said angry but also crying,

"Pardon me, I'm busy.." 'He's upset or sad!?'

"H-hiks.huwaa!!Lily!!" yesra's cry grew so much that she saw Lily,

"Yesra!Stop burdening him", a tall, blond young man came down from the horse carriage, Lily did not recognize the young man, but as soon as she looked more carefully, she only realized that it was Yusto,

"Yusto?!Y-you can already walk!?", Lily panicked,

"of course!It's been 4 years!", replied Yusto,

Lily couldn't believe seeing Yusto's change that was so pronounced, Yusto used to be so relatable to her, but now she was almost as tall as Ian,

'Ian is even just as tall as big brother's eyes..do I get shorter?!' inner Lily,

Yusto approached Lily, looked at her deeply, he wanted to hug Lily, but he knew it was impossible,

"During didn't meet Lily, you've been pretty tall huh, a little ", ledek Yusto, you know,

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN A LITTLE BIT?!DO YOU WANT ME TO HIT?!" scream Lily emotion,

"Lily, you're getting thinner, have you been eating well for 4 years?how can you be so skinny?" asked Yesra worriedly,

"I eat well, where I may not" That's because you're bigger than me now!how could I possibly look the same as before?!' lily cried out inwardly,

"By the way, what business are you here for??" ask Lily, please,

"We want to meet with the Great Priestess, she said we have to help her a little" replied Yusto,

"helped him?Oho!I see, the spirit is yes!", Lily said as she patted Yusto and Yesra on the shoulder and smiled sweetly,

'My feelings are not good.' Yusto and Yesra's inner self, Yusto,

/Skip at Lily's mansion,

Lily got off her carriage and walked into the mansion,

"Welcome back Madam", said the servants who had lined the hall welcoming Lily's arrival,

"Thank you everyone, you can go back to the place, don't over-exert yourself" Lily replied with a smile,

"Good Miss" the servants went straight back to the place and worked with beaming faces, beaming,

"Jeremy, where's Brother Fei?", Lily asked Jeremy who was still there,

"Lady Fei was walking out with Master Grand Duke, do you need any help?", Jeremy replied and asked again, asking,

"No, it's just that I was worried because I was too busy after the trial and had to stay at the Holy Temple" Lily said hesitantly,

"Lady Fei is fine because the Grand Duke comes every day" Jeremy replied happily,

"Thank God, then I'd like to get ready to go to the magic tower, if Brother and Sister Fei have come home tell them to rest, they must be tired lately",

"Good Mistress", please",

"Thank you Jeremy", please",

Lily goes to her room and asks Lina to help her change clothes to go to the magic tower,

"Miss, do you want me to go with you?" ask Rina, please,

"No need, I can do it myself, you just help Sister Fei when she gets home" Lily replied,

"None" is",

"Then I go first",

"Be careful Miss!",

After Lily left, a few minutes apart, Grand Duke Everon's horse-drawn carriage arrived at the mansion, Jeremy and Rina immediately welcomed Lucas and Fei,

"Welcome, Lord and Lady Fei" said Jeremy and Rina,

"Thank you Chief Manager and Lady Viona", replied Lucas,

"Lord, please don't call me that, I'm not good." said Rina lethargic,

"Eh?Uh!Sorry, Rina",

"It's okay, Master"

"Please come in, the lady asks you both to rest before she leaves" said Jeremy, letting Lucas and Fei in,

"Lho's?Lily's home yet?why did he leave again?", asked Lucas,

"The lady just came home to get ready for the magic tower, about 20 minutes ago and 5 minutes ago she was gone again" Jeremy said,

"What's right, he's pushing himself too much." Lucas said anxiously, saying,

"Hm, Madam must be very grateful to the Big Master for helping him so much in the last 2 weeks, it seems he wants you and Lady Fei to spend time together because you are too often in the Palace and leave Lady Fei, ekhem" said Jeremy with a smile,

"Lily is very attentive yes, you must be very proud to have a sister like her" Fei said with a smile towards Lucas.Lucas looked at her for a while and returned Fei's smile, returning Fei's smile,

"True, he is indeed a brother I am very proud of" Lucas replied,

'Lily is really an adult yes.entah since when she can think like that, even though she is just a snot child who can whine at any time.time runs very fast..'

"Jeremy, are the reports from the port still piling up?" ask Lucas,

"Actually all the files of the report are piling up, 4 piles of financial statements and goods that have just arrived at the port and delivery to the capital he has handled while at the Holy Temple, but..there are 2 stacks of reports to deal with today and 4 stacks more for the next 2 weeks, and there are still 3 stacks that have just arrived and must be checked directly by the Madam..but the Madam is still busy with other things.I can't do anything.." explains Jeremy sadly,

Lucas is stunned to hear Jeremy say, how can Lily finish a lot of work related to the port, and which crystal problem in the near future,

"I'll take care of that" Lucas said,

"Yes?!" Jeremy and Rina are shocked to hear Lucas' words,

"Lucas, can you help Lily?." Fei asked worriedly,

"Just relax, I'm used to taking care of things like this" Lucas replied confidently,

"Rina, take me to Lily's study and show me the file" Lucas said, then went inside,

"B-well!!" Lina followed Lucas from behind in a hurry,

"Well.. Lady Fei, come on in, you have to rest" Jeremy said,

"I want to walk for a while in the courtyard" Fei replied

"Good"

Fei looked at Lily's front yard filled with colorful flowers.About a long time later someone wearing a robe came approaching her through the bushes, Fei was shocked and moved away from the bushes, and,

"You.hate Lily, don't you?." asked the man,

"What do you mean?!" tanya Fei did not understand what that person was saying,

"I'll help you." said the man with a smile,

"Don't come near!!I don't understand what you're talking about!",

"Vel..you like that guy right?.but unfortunately your taste of joy claps one hand..all because he likes Lily.."

Fei was stunned to hear that remark, how could that person know?, how could he be trusted?

"W-what am I supposed to do?",

Seriate...
