I Have been Reincarnated As a Lazy, Arrogant Noble, but When I Destroyed The Scenario Through Effort, I Became The Most Powerful With Extraordinary Magical Power - 221

Chapter 221: Lilith’s Confession

Neil and Priscilla disappeared, and the gathering dissolved, but Alan still seemed discontent.

“Teacher, about him—”

“Alan, don’t get involved with Neil. You two don’t get along. Weiss, you should stay out of it too.”

“I’m not involved. He was just bothering me since morning.”

“What’s that supposed to mean, Weiss!”

“Stop it, Alan. Deep down, you know. You owe Weiss your gratitude for helping you.”

…

In the original story, there’s hardly any connection between Neil and Miss Milk.

However, they were both adventurers and knights. There’s no way they wouldn’t know each other.

After the commotion settled, Shari and Duke arrived. They must have heard from someone about the situation.

“Alan, are you okay!?”

“Yeah, I’m fine. But…”

“Alan, stay away from him.”

Of course, Shari and Duke seem to know too.

“Weiss, be careful.”

“I know. Cynthia, Lilith, let’s go.”

With a nod to Miss Milk, they left the scene.

“Weiss, is this Neil person famous?”

“Oh, you don’t know?”

“I don’t.”

“It’s better if you don’t.”

It’s not surprising that Cynthia doesn’t know. Although they’re from the same noble family, she’s lived a proper life and hasn’t heard about him.

Meanwhile, Lilith was standing a bit away, looking down.

“Please tell me.”

I hesitated whether to answer or not. Considering the original story, Cynthia’s roots are undoubtedly the same as Alan’s. I don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble. But her earnest gaze, her repeated requests for the truth…

And I know about Neil and Lilith’s relationship. I learned about it after finding out that Lilith used to be an assassin in this world.

At that moment, Lilith spoke up.

“He… The Albert family is the largest legal slave trader in this world. He’s terrifying if you’re his enemy, but there’s no one more reliable if he’s on your side. He’s skilled at using both the carrot and the stick, and he has many fanatical subordinates. If it weren’t for Weiss-sama and Miss Milk intervening there, Alan-san’s life might have been in danger.”

It’s rare for Lilith to speak so emotionally. Cynthia seemed to understand that too, as she looked surprised.

“…I see. But why does Lilith know him so well?”

In response to Cynthia’s question, Lilith spoke clearly.

“Because I used to work under him in the past.”
