Chapter 558 What Are You Hiding, Noman?
Chapter 558 What Are You Hiding, Noman?
Every Royal Servant, including Luna, were extremely unhappy with the news Noman had just said.
Lith was still very young and hadn't seen the world properly. He was thus unaware of things and didn't completely understand what Noman said.
His thought process was that his mother was a Queen and in all kingdoms, there were bound to be people who were unhappy and cursed the King/Queen. One can't make everyone happy and if one worked to do such a thing, even if they spent all their lives working for it, there was bound to be some or the other dissatisfied soul.
Also, giving attention to the ones that curse would mean stooping low to their level. Why do that and waste time?
Since Lith was young and hadn't seen this world much yet, he didn't know that what Noman had just said was sugar coating things to a very high degree.
Noman was well aware that his Prince was here in the court. He didn't want to address things that may result in the Prince being stressed.
Noman cared about Lith and he was someone who needed to be handled properly. Lith was still a small child in the eyes of all servants and they felt that it was their responsibility to look after him.
The servants had made a collective decision to not let even a speck of dust harm Lith and Noman naturally was following that. It was his instincts to protect the young and so, he sugar coated things.
As mentioned before, Lith was a child loved by all servants. What made them love him so much was obviously his attitude towards them and even Lith had no idea how much he meant to the servants.
Luna, as she saw Lith look at her with a confused face, immediately suppressed all the murderous things she was thinking about and doing a light cough, bowed and asked,
"Yes, Your Highness? How may I be of help?"
Even to Luna, Lith was a child who must be protected at all cost.
Whenever she saw Lith's face, only one thing went in her mind and that was:
'Smol. Must protect.'
If Lith knew that he was being treated like a baby by all servants, he, who has almost mastered the art of being shameless and not getting embarrassed, would immediately collapse and his progress would be fully ruined.
But of course, there was no way he would know.
Lith looked at Luna and was surprised watching her change her expressions so quickly.
"Why are you so angry? And why are they so angry?" Lith asked, pointing towards the servants.
Luna made an awkward smile and thought to herself, 'Your Highness, you'll be even angrier than them if you got to know what Noman meant by derogatory remarks.'
But shoving aside that thought, Luna answered in a low voice to not disturb the court, "We are all angry because how dare the people say something bad about Madam? She looks after them and this is what they respond with?"
As Lith heard that, he roughly understood that things were definitely what he was thinking. There were some dissatisfied souls who didn't like the rule of his mother and were cursing her.
Lith sighed thinking about it. No matter what, one definitely couldn't satisfy everyone.
But after thinking so, a proud feeling swelled up in Lith's heart as he saw how much all the servants cared about his mother. Just a small thing was enough to get them all angry.
His mother had definitely done a great job in getting such loyal people bound to her.
Lilith, feeling the anger from everyone in the room and understanding what Noman meant, places her hand on the armrest and leaned on it.
She then asked calmly, "Who are the ones involved?"
Noman bowed and answered everything to Lilith.<.com>
Apparently some groups from the Vampire, Werewolf, and Demon Continent had forgotten what power the Vampire Queen held. Now that the news of her coming back to the administration was out, the people from these places were saying some bad stuff about the Queen.
What those words were, Noman didn't say it. Those words weren't something that would ever come out of a Seraphim's mouth.
Lilith noticed that Noman was not saying some stuff. She moved from her overbearing posture into a more normal one.
She smiled and asked, "What are you hiding, Noman?"
Lilith was in work mode and was serious. But looking at her Seraphim butler who wasn't saying a few things which Lilith already knew, made her want to bully him a bit.
It had been a long time since she had last interacted properly with her servants and now that she was, it was only right for her to have a bit of fun.
Noman, who was already used to his Madam bullying him like this, bowed and said, "I humbly apologise for my incompetence, but those are things I wouldn't be able to say."
Lilith sighed and shook her head with a smile. It seems Noman had become immune to her bullying.
Lilith turned to look at Ruben, kneeling down in the front row and called him out.
"Ruben, explain what is happening."
Ruben got up, walked towards Noman and standing beside him, first bowed and paid his respect to his master.
He then looked Lilith in the eyes and said, "Madam, what Noman isn't saying is that—"
"Madam."
Noman interrupted Ruben mid sentence. Although it was very rude to do such a thing in the Queen's court, Noman took the risk. The reason being…
Noman bowed and said humbly, "There are things that, if said, might create problems to people in the court. It is best if we discuss this after the court session is over."
Lilith, instead of feeling offended or angry because Noman broke the rules and also interrupted the person that Lilith had specifically called to ask information from, smiled and felt happy.
She very well knew why Noman interrupted Ruben from speaking.
Noman was taking into consideration Lith's mind that may be affected if something that he shouldn't hear was said. All people in this court were high level beings and also people with lots of experience.
Lith was only just 22 years old. He was yet to know fully about the world. She was thus happy knowing her butlers were so caring towards her son and did things to protect him.
Lilith shook her hand lightly and leaned on the side again, resting her face on her hand. "You worry too much, Noman. He needs to go through these things or he won't grow."
Noman, still bowing, said, "If Madam says so." He didn't refute Lilith further as he got the final verdict from her. If she said it was okay, then it was okay.
? Lilith then looked at Ruben and said, "Continue, Ruben."
Ruben nodded. He looked at Lilith and said in a neutral face with a calm expression,
"So basically, Madam, people called you a bitch."
"WHAT!?"
