Chapter 562: I'm willful and unreasonable
Robb was a little surprised by what Lilian’s aunt said.
"If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't live, who would be willing to sell their children?" the aunt cried. "Back in Stone Canyon, I really couldn't live on. That was why I did that stupid thing. But now, even if I became penniless, as long as I am willing to work, I could earn money to support myself. Therefore, I am willing to use all my wealth now to redeem Lilian's freedom."
Robb looked at Lilian and said, "Lilian, your aunt has made such a statement, but I have to remind you that after she redeems you, she will have no money. Are you willing to live a hard life with her?"
"Yes!" Lilian answered without hesitation.
Well, in that case…
Robb didn't intend to deprive a girl of her freedom. When he just came to this world, the first thing he wanted to do was to recruit a maid. Thinking that this plan was not feasible, he changed it to "buy a maid".
The aunt handed over all her belongings, including the jewelry and pendants on her clothes, and put them on the stone table. However, she did not bring the share certificate from West Arch with her, and she did not bring the deed of the new house she bought on Bright Road, which needed to be sent next time.
She hurriedly said, "Godfather, no one dares to cheat you. I'll give you all the shares and deeds later. I don't dare to hide any anything."
"Well, in that case, Lilian is free," said Robb, with a somewhat lonely expression on his face. Since the second day he came to this world, he had been accompanied by Lilian, and Lilian took care of his daily life. Now that she was leaving, how could he not be lonely?
However, Lilian wanted to become a civilian again, which was her own will. Robb absolutely respected her thoughts on this. No matter how lonely he was, he would not force her to stay.
Lilian took off the Amethyst Necklace around her neck and put it on the table. Robb wanted to say "keep it", but he looked at his aunt next to her and didn't say anything. He just let her return the necklace.
Then she went back to her room, took off her maid's clothes and changed into ordinary cotton clothes. She didn't take anything else, because slaves didn't have any personal belongings. Strictly speaking, she couldn't even bring the clothes away. But a girl couldn't go out without clothes, so she had to wear the clothes shamelessly.
When she walked out of the chapel, she looked like an ordinary girl. She was dressed in the usual cotton clothes of townsmen, with her golden hair tied in a braid behind her head. She bowed to Robb and said, "master... Eh... Godfather, I'll go back with my aunt first..."
Robb waved at her with a gentle smile on his face. "Thank you for taking care of me for the past year and a half. I'm a lazy person. From now on, you are free again to live the life you want. Just come back to the chapel occasionally to have fun."
"Yes, I will." Lilian had something to say, but she felt that it was not the right time to say it. She took a look at Robb deeply and bowed, and followed her aunt out.
Robb used the detecting skill and saw the two of them walk into the opposite train station and sit on the platform.
Robb knew that they were waiting for the train to go to Bright Road in the afternoon. Her aunt had to go back and hand over the shares, deeds and other things to Robb, and Lilian must be with her. After that, the two of them would continue to make a living on Bright Road. After all, her aunt had made a name for herself on Bright Road. Although she had lost the shares of West ARch, it was easy for her to run a different brand with the help of all kinds of recipes that Lilian had learned from him.
Of course, Robb wouldn't really let Lilian start from scratch. As long as he was sure that her aunt was really going to turn over a new leaf and treat Lilian well, Robb would be able to return all the things on the stone table to her. Of course, this was a later story.
For the time being, he didn't know how long it would take for him to see Lilian again!
Thinking of this, he began to feel bad.
Suofa quietly stood behind Robb and whispered, "Godfather, they haven't gotten on the train yet. It's not too late for them to go back on your word."
Robb said, "I won't go back on my word."
"But... It seems that you don't want Lilian to leave."
"I have to let her go even if I don't want to," Robb said seriously. "When you have to leave after your sentence, I will also let you go."
"..."
She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she had to stand quietly behind Robb. The two of them had been standing like this for a long time. Suddenly, Robb raised his head and said, "I'm hungry. Help me get something to eat."
"Okay!" Suofa hurried into the kitchen.
After a while, she came out of the kitchen with a tray in her hand. There was something strange in it. It looked black, like meat pies, but Robb was not sure.
Robb asked, "what is this?"
She said seriously, "the unique food of the desert kingdom, desert sand pie."
"This name sounds very interesting." Robb was overjoyed. "Obviously, it belongs to the kind of delicious food that looks very bad, but has a special taste."
He grabbed the meat pies and put them into his mouth
"Haha! It looks terrible, but in fact, it's also terrible."
"Does it really taste bad? I think it's okay."
Robb snorted, "no, I can't eat this kind of food. Cook my favorite food, steak, chicken chop, lamb chop, fried chicken, fried shrimps, steamed fish..."
Suofa shook his head awkwardly and said, "Lilian did all these. I can’t."
Robb, "Oh, no! I've changed my mind. Is it too late to get Lilian back?"
"Go back on your words? I won't go back on my words!" Suofa said calmly, imitating Robb's expression and tone
"Let me tell you, this kind of girl who complains about her master is going to cry."
She didn't accept the threat at all. She said calmly, "I'm just a prisoner, not a female slave. You said that rehabilitation is a right, to have full freedom of personal safety, to have the right to not be insulted, to have legal rights not to be violated, to defend, to make an appeal, to sue, to accuse and so on. If you make me cry, it means that you violate my personal rights. I think you can't do it."
Robb shrugged and said, "well, you do have a lot of power. But when Lilian is not here, my right to live has been seriously tested. What should I do? I tell you, although I look like a good person, when my right to live is not guaranteed, I can't guarantee things. I'm willful and unreasonable!"
