Chapter 1318: The Real Goal II
Garrof, Lloyd, and the others who already knew Lory’s identity didn’t look as overwhelmed as Hugo, Lilly, and Ethan. Lory then takes a seat on the chair and begins to speak "First of all, I would like to apologize to all of you, Hugo - Lilly for hiding my identity even though you trusted me and even invited me to your home, I lied to you, but I hope you understand that I did it with utmost consideration for your safety and the truth is, I’ve been gone for quite a while... so when I came back, it took me quite a while to understand the situation..."
Lory didn’t want to explain where she was going or tell about the existence of the other world, because she would have to explain about Lazarus, Arthea, the First King, and everything that would be too much for them. There are some things that are better kept hidden especially if it doesn’t have any benefit to your life.
"Gone?" Lilly looked at Lory with a questioning look, she wasn’t sure what that meant, what Lory meant about ’away’ was it other countries, but that did not make sense.
"That’s a story for another time because today there is something more important that I want to talk to all of you about," Lory said with a solemn look and everyone’s attitude immediately changed to become more serious.
"Don’t apologize, Your Highness. You are my family’s savior. Without you, I don’t think my family would have been able to get out of this predicament. Therefore, we are all grateful for your help. Therefore, the Hamilton family will support whatever plan you have," Hugo’s voice was filled with strong determination.
Hugo would be a fool if he didn’t support Lory, regardless Lory was his family benefactor and he would try his best to help her, but after knowing her real identity Hugo would not let go of this one lifetime opportunity to fight side by side with Princess Lorient.
"Alright, first of all, I would like to thank you all for your trust despite not knowing my identity before and also everyone present in this room, I sincerely thank you all." Lory placed her palms on her chest and slowly bowed her head.
Her sincerity moved everyone in the room, they looked at each other awkwardly and then smiled sheepishly. They never dreamed that one day Princess Lorient would bow her head and thank them with so much sincerity.
Zhao Li Xin watched Lory with glittering eyes. it’s amazing how a simple gesture could make her win the loyalty of everyone in this room, even though she was the one who lowered her head however, her kingly aura was able to dominate everyone in the room even a cunning old fox-like Hugo Hamilton couldn’t match her.
’Ah, what should I do? I fell in love again’ Zhao Lixin rested his head on his fists as he stared at Lory with passionate eyes.
’Danger!’ Lory suddenly felt goosebumps. She had no idea what happened, everyone seemed alright, Lory rubbed her neck thinking that she probably still needed a rest.
