Chapter 247 Never Prove Yourself

"what?!"

The two of them were originally leaning on a wooden fence under a stand. Catherine straightened up suddenly when she heard that, and Lilith, who was clinging to her shoulders, staggered.

“Eh? Shhhhhh!” Lilith covered Catherine’s mouth and pulled her back. “Keep your voice down, or Leila will think I did something to you!”

As soon as Catherine made a noise, Leila immediately glanced over. Lilith gave her a flattering smile and once again pulled Catherine to her side and held her tightly. In the messy arena, the two of them seemed like little animals huddled together for warmth after surviving a disaster.

"Are you crazy, Lilith?! That's the God of Light, you, you're not afraid..." Catherine's eyes widened, but she could only breathe. She covered her chest, where her heart was beating wildly, almost jumping out of her throat.

"If He had that kind of power, I wouldn't be the first one to suffer."

Lilith quietly pointed to the white temple. After they had treated all the wounded, the black smoke over there was just beginning to dissipate. After Zephirion caused the trouble, he just patted his butt and left.

She used to be extremely afraid of the gaze of God, but now she feels that she was frightened by herself as a devout believer of light who had not awakened her memory. Regardless of whether that guy really exists, He does not seem to interfere much in the human world.

Either He is an extremely tolerant God, or He simply has no ability to discipline His followers...

But no matter which one it is, it gives people like Lilith, who are gradually losing their awe of God, a huge amount of room for maneuver.

"I thought you hated the church too. Can you guarantee that they were not behind what happened today?" Lilith blinked her eyes. She was not reluctant to speculate about the Church of Light with the greatest malice.

Catherine opened her mouth, but was speechless for a moment. After her raging heartbeat slowly calmed down, she finally regained her composure - did Lilith want to help her deal with the church?

"I see your efforts." In the days when Lilith broke into the room through the window, Catherine always bent over the desk, concentrating on absorbing knowledge. She always said that she worked hard, but it was obvious that she was also very strict with herself. They were just working hard in different directions.

"Our study time is so precious. Do you still want to waste it trying to prove who is more favored by the gods between you and your cousin, and win the hearts of the people?" Lilith's face was full of disdain.

Asking Catherine to bow to the church and try hard to win public support is like an unfavored child at home trying hard to please the parent who doesn't love her at all. It's disgusting just thinking about it.

Lilith asked herself if she could do it, and naturally, she didn't want Catherine to do such a thing.

"——Instead of proving that you are the crown prince recognized by the gods, it is better to let those old guys prove that the gods really exist."

Lilith's tone was frivolous and playful, but the words she said made Catherine shudder for no reason.

"We, we may not be able to bear the consequences of this behavior, Lilith, what if we lose control..." Catherine was in a different position from her, so she had more concerns. "Those devout believers might fall into despair and fear and lose hope of life..."

"I don't agree." Lilith shook her head gently. "Faith is just a spiritual sustenance for people. What we ordinary people really need is very simple, just to have enough food, warm clothes, and live with family and friends."

Lilith turned to look at Catherine, "Aren't you?"

Catherine was speechless.

"So," Lilith said confidently, "Even if they lose the 'blessing' of the gods, they will soon accept it. Life must go on. Believe me! I have experience!"

Catherine looked at Lilith's spirited face and suddenly asked, "Where did you get your experience from?"

"Uh...well, that--" Lilith suddenly stuttered.

Oh no, that's too much. We can't just say that this is experience we gained from history in our previous life. As mankind continues to move forward in the pursuit of truth and progress, people are slowly no longer believing in feudal superstitions. This is an inevitable trend of social development.

"——Lucas!" Lilith's eyes rolled around, and she finally thought of an excuse, "I got it from Lucas! Look at them, the sea people, even without the blessing of the sea god, they still have to survive. I, I am using this to deduce..."

Catherine nodded half-believingly. Lilith's face was stained with some dirt from the Light Banner. Catherine raised her hand and wiped it off for her. Then she couldn't help but hold her face and sighed -

"Sometimes I really feel that you are not from this world."

Lilith suddenly opened her eyes wide and didn't dare to speak for a moment.

"Your brain seems to be different from ours, otherwise how could you come up with such an idea..." Catherine murmured as she helped Lilith to pick up the ashes carefully with her fingertips.

The Church of Light is indeed the most difficult problem for her now. With King George around, she has no power to capture the empire's largest military force, the Knights of Light, let alone send them to Ozler.

She had been following her father's advice and trying to build good relations with the church and the Knights of Light, but to no avail.

But now, Lilith gave her another idea - the church might not be unshakable...

"Ahaha, haha, but, maybe it's because I have half a dragon brain?" Lilith had an awkward but polite smile on her face, "We are good friends, right, Catherine?"

"What's wrong with you again..." After being shocked by Lilith's sharp and bold thinking, Catherine saw her return to her usual weird self in the blink of an eye. She immediately let go of her head and distanced herself from her.

"Wuwuwu, please don't." Lilith didn't care about the disgust on Catherine's face at all. She chased after her and hugged her arms tightly, saying in a flattering tone, "If one day I am hung on the stake, you will definitely come to save me, right?"

When Catherine asked this question, she remembered her initial fear again.

"... You don't need to do this." Catherine was silent for a moment, and was moved by Lilith again. Did she want to personally participate in this dishonorable plot for her sake? But Leila would not agree, and Catherine had never thought about it.

"Ah? No--" Lilith was confused. Why did she feel that what Catherine said was different from what she said?

"I will," Catherine said again.

"I will save you."
