626 Fake It Till She Makes It
Lily's POV:
The burly man in the black suit was stunned when he saw . I wasn't his enemy, but I wasn't the person who should be here.
"Good evening, Miss Lily." He nodded at . "It's very late. You should go back to your room and rest."
I put on an impatient expression and said snappily, "Go ahead and patrol. Don't worry about what I want to do."
"I'm sorry, but this is Lady Silvermoon's order." The security guard politely and firmly blocked my way. "She thinks you shouldn't be outside for the ti being. Please don't make things difficult for . Go back to your room."
"Why should I listen to you? Who do you think you are to discipline ?" I waved my hand contemptuously. "I'm just strolling around. You don't have to care. I'll go back to sleep when I'm tired."
However, the security guard was unmoved. He only stubbornly said, "Please return to your room."
His reaction was exactly what I wanted. For him to get my mother, I decided to add fuel to the fire.
"I told you, don't use such a high and mighty tone to discipline !" I smashed a decorative vase beside . "I'm tired of being in the house every day! Either tie up and throw back to that prison now, or get lost, do you hear ?!"
Veins bulged on the security guard's forehead. I was quite good at acting like an errant child. He should be angry, but reason told him that he couldn't punish like he would a thief. He could only say stiffly, "I'll inform Lady Silvermoon, my lady. She'll handle this."
"Then, get her to co." I sneered in disdain. "It's best if she invites so more people. Get my grandfather, the Queen, and the Prince. Ask them to co and watch the show."
The security guard ignored and said sothing to his earpiece. The person on the other side should be my mother.
Sure enough, a minute later, my mother's angry face appeared at the end of the corridor.
"Please leave for now and give us so private ti," she said to the security guard, who imdiately disappeared.
We were the only ones left now.
My mother looked tired, but her anger made her look energetic.
"You shouldn't leave the room," she said. "It's not good for you."
"What's wrong with that? Will you break my limbs and throw back?"
"Lily! I told you not to talk to like that!" she scread.
I always knew how to provoke her, or perhaps she only had disgust and anger when facing .
"How did you get out? I've asked the servant to guard the top floor. You couldn't have gone past her."
"It's not just a magnificent marble-paved corridor that allows people to move," I said sarcastically. "I'm a werewolf. Climbing is a piece of cake for ."
"... There's no point in arguing. Now, go back to your room. If you're bored, I'll get soone to send so magazines and ga consoles over."
"That's it? Am I that easy to deal with?"
On the one hand, I wanted to buy ti for Yarin, and on the other hand, I didn't want to be obedient, so I decided to act out.
"How long do you want to lock up? If I can escape once, I can escape a second ti. You can't keep an eye on all the ti."
"I'm not imprisoning you, Lily. It's just that it's dangerous outside. I don't want you to run around again-"
"Really?" I interrupted. So you're not afraid I'll publicize what you've done to ."
"Lily!" she scread again, and I laughed out loud. This embarrassed her, so she raised her hand as if she would slap again.
But halfway through, she held back and said stiffly, "I don't bla you for being insensible. Go back to your room. This is the last ti I'm telling you. Don't anger . Lily, don't think you can do whatever you want with outsiders around."
"So you're just afraid the Queen will bla you," I sneered. "Stop pretending. If there's a first, there's a second. That slap must have made you feel good, right? My dear mother, do you know that so nobles in ancient tis would kill their children for fun? You have three children. It doesn't matter if you have one more or one less!"
"This is not like back then, and I am not unreasonable!" my mother was really angry. "You don't want to go back? Well, I guess I can only get soone to help you."
She called out a na loudly, and the security guard who had just disappeared appeared at the corner of the corridor.
"She is tired. Send her back to rest."
The security guard nodded and walked toward in silence.
I didn't resist, nor did I struggle. I could even clearly calculate the ti in my burning rationality.
I didn't know if Yarin had completed his task. I had to delay more to prevent him from being caught.
"What a big guy. He looks like he can fight, but I can still easily slip away from him." I looked him up and down contemptuously."You can't lock up. I will always find a way to leave."
"Then, I will personally watch you go back to your room," my mother said. "Now, move on."
