Chapter 1568 - 1055: Bestowing Armor
After this, Duanmu Huai returned to the banquet hall with the Tower City Kitten and found Liliath, explaining the situation to her. Hearing that such a thing had happened, Liliath was quite frightened and hurriedly grabbed the Tower City Kitten to check her over again. Only after confirming that she wasn’t hurt did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Phew... thank you so much, Teacher."
"No need to be so polite, the little cat is my student too."
"Hahaha..."
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s response, Liliath couldn’t help but give a wry smile. She clearly understood what Duanmu Huai meant; the relationship between the Tribunal and Demons is quite subtle, requiring a valid reason. Currently, there is no formal alliance between the Jimongli Family and the Tribunal, and the Tribunal must stand on the side of Humanity. Hence, the reason for Duanmu Huai helping Liliath is based on personal grounds, rather than involving the collective.
Like before, when he helped Liliath against the Phoenix Family, and assisted Kiba Hiroto and the Tower City Kitten, the reasons he used were the same.
Because I am a teacher, and you are my students, it is entirely out of personal standing, not the diplomatic direction of the Tribunal.
Actually, this isn’t bad, but Liliath internally hopes for something more.
Unfortunately, she can’t join the Tribunal like Naruse Mio, as Naruse Mio has clearly abandoned her family, while Liliath is still the heir of the Jimongli Family, and she does not have the kind of irreconcilable conflict with her family as Naruse Mio does. Although she was very angry when her father arranged her engagement on his own, it wasn’t to the point of leaving the family.
So the remaining option is...
"By the way, it’s time for the little cat to make some changes."
