Chapter 56 I hired a champion to protect me
Although it was strange, it was only a fleeting thought.
The atmosphere in the mansion was very quiet at the moment. Lusamine placed the teacup on the tea table and looked at Lillie with an indifferent but complicated gaze.
"Sit down."
The unspoken and majestic voice made Lillie tremble slightly, but she still walked slowly to sit down opposite Lusamine.
However, because of her fear of Lusamine in her heart, Lillie grabbed the hem of her skirt with both hands and did not dare to raise her head to look at Lusamine.
Time slipped away minute by minute, and Lusamine, who had been quietly waiting for Lillie to speak, gradually became colder, and her eyes were full of disappointment in Lillie.
"Since you are willing to come back on your own initiative, you must have made up your mind, right? Then why are you so weak now?"
Lusamine's cold voice slowly sounded.
"It's really disappointing, Lillie, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Lillie's delicate body trembled, but she still didn't dare to look Lusamine in the eye.
"I love you so much, I have poured so much love into you." Lusamine's voice gradually became angry, and her pupils gradually lost their brilliance.
"But you actually betrayed me!!!"
Yes, Lusamine thought so.
She loved her children so much, but this pair of children, her closest family, betrayed her.
Not only did they run away, but they also took away such important attributes: Kong and Cosmogu! This is such an... infuriating thing.
"No... No..."
"The child who didn't accept my love and left me, Lillie, you..."
"It's not like that!"
The girl's stubborn voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Lusamine's words.
Lusamine looked at Lillie in some surprise. This was the first time Lillie spoke to her so loudly, and it was also the first time she refuted and interrupted her speech.
"Mother always talks to herself like this! Why did Mother become like this?"
Lillie bit her lip and raised her head, her red eyes bravely looking into Lusamine's eyes.
"You..."
"Mother was really gentle before, my brother and I both loved Mother the most!"
Lusamine was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Lillie blankly.
"But since Dad disappeared, Mother has changed. Why? She doesn't consider my and my thoughts, and imposes her ideas on us without caring whether we are happy or not!"
"My beloved Mother is obviously not like this!"
As if to vent, the girl used all her strength to shout out her inner voice.
Bean-sized tears slid from the corners of the girl's eyes.
"And mother is still doing such dangerous things. It's obvious that this is how father disappeared, but mother is still doing it."
"If...if mother is also missing like father, then what should my brother and I do? We...we don't want to lose mother again...wuwu..."
As she spoke, Liliae finally couldn't help sobbing and crying.
These words really suppressed her heart for a long time, as if a mountain was pressing on her heart, making her almost breathless.
Looking at Liliae crying with true feelings, Lusamine lost her mind.
She never thought that Liliae's thoughts were like this, and an unspeakable emotion suddenly surged from her heart.
The atmosphere was quiet again for a while, with only Liliae's uncontrollable sobbing.
She didn't want to cry, but she couldn't help it, and couldn't stop the tears at all.
At this time, a warm palm stopped on her back, gently soothing her.
Liliae opened her tearful eyes and saw Lusamine. However, Lusamine no longer had that cold expression, but was full of tenderness.
"My Liliae, although she has grown up, she is still a child after all." The gentle voice from her mother made Lilia's emotions surge again, and she threw herself into Lusamine's arms.
The mother in her memory finally came back.
"Mother!"
"Ah~ Mother is here, I'm sorry Lilia, I made you suffer so much."
Lusamine hugged her daughter, and her voice full of guilt reached Lilia's ears.
Why didn't she pay attention to Lilia's voice before?
Lusamine hugged Lilia distressedly, and for the first time reflected on whether her love for her children was correct.
Now think about it, because of her desire for the Ultimate Beast, she seems to have neglected to understand Lilia.
Lusamine really loves her children, but she has never thought about understanding her children's thoughts before, and stubbornly believes that the children only need to listen to her.
However, Lilia's confession this time also made her understand Lilia's thoughts.
The mother and daughter reconciled, and naturally had a lot to say, and the two sat down on the sofa again.
Liliae talked to Lusamine about her experiences after leaving the Aether Paradise. Lusaminee listened carefully and expressed her own opinions from time to time.
The atmosphere was very good for a while, and then...
"Mother, have you not given up on that plan?"
After hesitating for a while, Liliae took the initiative to muster up the courage to ask Lusaminee.
"The Ultimate Hole?" Lusaminee asked.
"Yes, mother, that is really too dangerous, can you please not..."
"Liliae, although mother wants to answer you, I can't lie to you." Lusaminee sighed.
"We can't give up the research on the Ultimate Hole."
"Why? The Ultimate Beast is really too dangerous, you should know that." Liliae was very anxious.
"Yes, but that's why we can't stop." Lusaminee said in a serious voice.
Liliae was stunned.
"Lillie, studying the Ultra Hole is not just for myself. For the entire Alola, the threat of Ultra Beasts is real."
"Do you know why we have never established the Pokémon League in Alola?"
Liliae frowned. She understood what Lusamine meant. She has always been a smart girl.
"Professor Kukui has been working hard for the establishment of the Alola League, but it is actually useless because the fundamental problems of Alola have not been solved." Lusamine shook her head.
"Because of the Ultra Beasts..."
"That's right, it's because of the Ultra Beasts. Do you know the King of the Island, Merdan? Before he became the King of the Island, he was one of the Interpol sent by the Pokémon League to Alola to investigate the Ultra Beasts."
Lusamine revealed this secret.
"But at that time, a mission failed and a mission member was killed. The cause of death was an Ultra Beast, the Ghoul."
"If we don't investigate and find out the Ultra Beast, the Alola Alliance will never be established, and Alola will not be able to hold its head up in front of all regions."
Hearing this, Lilia bit her lip. She was not an immature child. In the face of such a major event related to the entire Alola region, she could not say such willful words as asking Lusamine not to care about it.
"Don't worry, Lilia, mother knows what you are worried about, but mother is fully prepared. I also invited a powerful champion-level trainer to provide protection."
Lusamine caressed Lilia's tender face lovingly.
"Champion-level trainer?" Lilia was surprised. Even she knew the value of the title of champion-level trainer.
"Yes, he is very powerful."
Lusamine's eyes were a little complicated.
But Lilia obviously didn't hear how much meaning there was in her mother's words.
