chapter 15 The Crown Princess whose engagement was broken off (15)

"The prerequisite for the boss not to go crazy is that the eldest lady is safe!"

This sentence, which she had heard by accident before, now seemed to have become powerful evidence. Lilith Jin sat stunned, her father's desperate expression flashing in her mind again and again, causing her heart to ache and shatter countless times.

"He created a world with order, warmth, recognition, and laughter for you, and naturally, he can destroy a world without you," 288 said coldly.

Lilith Jin instinctively refuted, "It's impossible; this is your slander!"

288 replied, "The system's data is true and valid."

The more certain the system was, the less Lilith Jin believed it. She said coldly, "My father is an extraordinary figure, and he wouldn't allow your slander and rumors!"

"Furthermore, based on your so-called data records, my father went to great lengths to create a world unlike any other before the apocalypse, knowing that I loved Blue Star and everything he gave me. He wouldn't easily destroy everything."

"Because there are traces of my existence there!"

288 responded, "The data records say otherwise."

Lilith Jin had grown tired of hearing it repeat the same phrases over and over.

"Originally, I thought you might have been created by my father to protect me, but now it seems I overestimated you," Lilith Jin said.

The system fell silent at this point, and Lilith Jin didn't press further. The origin of the system and its motives for approaching her weren't important. If the system had ulterior motives, she was confident she could find the flaws.

Ethan Gu carried the most familiar aura for her and provided her with the greatest sense of security. She didn't believe that Ethan Gu had no connection to her father.

"Miss, the wind is picking up. Let's head back inside," Lucy's voice sounded.

Lilith Jin turned back and saw her four maidservants looking at her with concern, wondering if they had noticed her unusual expression just now.

"Let's go back."

Lilith Jin took a few steps ahead and then thought of something. She asked, "Dad and big brother are both at court. What about Mother? I haven't seen her all day."

Lucy replied, "The Eldest Princess returned from Yun Tai Shan, and the Princess went to welcome her."

Lilith Jin was delighted. "Grandmother has returned? Why didn't anyone tell me? It's been so long since I saw her."

Serena Xia smiled and said, "The wind was strong this morning, and the Eldest Princess was afraid you might catch a cold, so she didn't allow the servants to inform you."

"It's not that cold, just wear an extra layer, and besides, there's a carriage," Lilith Jin said.

Having no choice, her maidservants had to follow her orders.

Leaving Wangshan Villa and gazing at the vast and magnificent scenery, Lilith Jin's mood brightened considerably. Regardless of any conspiracy involving 288 or its creators, they had recently involved her and her father in it. She was determined to find answers.

If only she could return to the post-apocalyptic world soon.

Fifteen minutes later, there was a commotion outside. Lilith Jin opened the curtain but saw nothing. "What was that noise just now?"

Lucy replied, "The guards have already gone to check. Rest assured, Young Lady, there won't be any trouble."

Lilith Jin was naturally not concerned about her own safety. In the context of her "broken engagement," any trouble would lead people to suspect the East Palace's involvement, and the last thing they wanted was for her to be in trouble now.

After a while, the sound of clattering hooves could be heard from outside, getting closer and closer. The hoofbeats suddenly stopped, replaced by a hoarse coughing sound. The coughing merged with the wind and gradually became inaudible. Only a clear and lonely voice remained, "Disturbing the County Princess's enjoyment, Ryan Xie apologizes."
