Chapter 539: Lilith who changed her attitude
"Tch—I can't even find anyone. This human kid is really useless."
Although he said it so disdainfully, he actually saw Marco being so anxious and crazy in order to find a girl.
The evil taste for revenge in Lilith's heart had already dissipated unconsciously.
Perhaps it was because he saw the young man's obsession to find the girl he loved, or maybe he was moved and infected by his crazy and passionate feelings.
The witch, who had always treated Marco like a little mouse and wanted to tease him at will, suddenly couldn't bear to do that.
'If one day, Pope Roy is also in danger, will I be like the kid in front of me, so crazy and obsessed that I will do anything to save him?'
This thought came to Lilith's mind, and she put herself in his shoes and thought about it.
But she didn't come up with a clear and definite answer for a while. In other words, she didn't know what choice she would make if she really faced that kind of situation.
The affection and admiration she felt towards Roy in her heart made her want to be like the young man at this moment, desperate and persistent in order to find and save the one she loved.
But as a dark creature, the instinctive selfishness made her feel that when faced with this situation, she should focus on self-preservation.
Wanting to be like Marco, risking everything for others. This is almost impossible even for Lilith, who likes Roy.
But it was precisely because of this uncertainty that Lilith couldn't help but admire and yearn for the persistent young man in front of her.
After all, she felt that she might not be able to do this kind of thing. There was a girl in front of her who could do it for her, and she would inevitably admire such a brave young man.
"Forget it, since this kid is so persistent, I'll help him once."
After a moment of hesitation, Lilith sighed and made a 180° turn in attitude.
But this doesn't seem to be a very strange thing for her as a witch. After all, she is called the witch among the evil generals because of her moody personality.
With her fickle temperament, one moment she wanted to play revenge on a young boy. The next moment she was moved by his persistence, and it was normal for her to choose to help him instead.

Lilith, whose thoughts changed, happened to see the ghost Jenny floating over and wanting to hug her thigh.
"Lord Lilith! So you are here!"
Hearing the surprised voice of the ghost steward, the witch couldn't help but frowned. Someone said that although the other party was technically one of her own in the castle.
But what this ghost Jenny did still made Lilith feel a little dissatisfied.
First of all, as a steward in the castle, this guy was easily captured by the intruders. At the same time, he was easily intimidated by the young man, and even became a leader.
Although this kind of thing is understandable from the perspective of the person involved, after all, everyone has been captured, what can't you do to save your life?
You can't expect her to be a martyr who would rather die than surrender, right? This is really rare among dark creatures.
But no matter what, no matter how many reasonable reasons Ghost Jenny has, in Lilith's eyes, this is all a manifestation of her own incompetence and waste.
Fortunately, although this witch is moody, she is still relatively tolerant towards the servants and subordinates in the castle. At least she will not really blame Ghost Jenny for this little thing.
"what's up?"
~Novel app,-app..
So although her tone was somewhat unpleasant, she still patiently asked about the other person's situation.
"Forehead……"
However, little people have the wisdom of little people, and Ghost Jenny was somewhat aware that Lilith's tone was not very good, so she was very sensible and showed her speaking skills as a servant.
That is...leverage your strengths and avoid your weaknesses!
"Lord Lilith, I have brought the human boy here according to your previous instructions. I also heard from his mouth that his purpose of invading the castle seems to be to find someone."
"My lord, do you have any other instructions next?"
She cleverly omitted the fact that after she brought the person there, she was threatened and frightened by the young man. Then she helped him look for the person everywhere and searched for him for a long time.
After all, it can be seen that Lilith's face is not good-looking. If she shows her incompetence again, wouldn't she just make herself unhappy?
So it is enough to show your loyalty and obedience in front of your boss.
"Um……"
:.,
Lilith frowned slightly after hearing this. She didn't know whether she didn't notice that Ghost Jenny was deliberately exploiting her strengths and avoiding weaknesses, or whether she had noticed it but didn't care at all.
She was really thinking about what else she needed from the other party.
Of course, now that her mind had changed, she actually wanted the other party to help Marco find someone else, but after thinking about it, the witch felt that it was completely unnecessary.
After all, she herself knew exactly where the girl Anna was being held. Otherwise, she would not have secretly given instructions to Ghost Jenny to lead the way to find someone.
Lilith's main hesitation now is whether she should show up directly to help the boy find someone.
If Jenny, the ghost in front of her, had not appeared before, maybe she would not have hesitated more, and would have actually done so after thinking about it and directly helped.
But after this ghost steward appeared, she didn't seem to have to do it herself. Just like her hesitation at this moment, she somewhat wanted to pass the blame.
"Let's do this. Don't be idle. Then help that kid find someone."
Without hesitating for too long, Lilith finally chose to summon her ghost steward. After all, as a subordinate, what's the point of existence if she doesn't summon her ghost?
"ah?!"
Ghost Jenny, who had just finished looking for someone and was still thinking of hugging her, looking for her own witch Lilith as her backer, was stunned for a moment when she heard this.
Mainly, she didn't expect that the witch's attitude would change so quickly.
It can be seen from Lilith's previous following actions that although she did not intend to kill Marco directly, she showed no amount of malice.
Originally, Ghost Jenny thought that her master, even if he did not want to deal with the opponent in a short time, just wanted to play around and have fun while passing the time.
In this case, the fate of young Marco will not be too good no matter what.
Just like a cat catching a mouse, even if it doesn't kill the mouse directly for a while, the end of the mouse that has been played with by the cat's claws will obviously not be much better.
But now Lilith's attitude has changed a lot. Ghost Jenny actually heard her kindness towards the human boy from her words?
This made me even think for a moment that I had heard it wrong.
"Ah what? Didn't you understand? I asked you to help that kid find someone together!"
As the general of the Guards, the witch Lilith had no intention of explaining anything to her ghost steward. She just snorted and ordered him around.
:
"..."
Her order really made Ghost Jenny burst into tears. She had just deliberately concealed the fact that she had helped the young man find someone to cover up her own incompetence.
Who would have thought that after turning around, his immediate superior would actually order him to help find someone for the first time.
Just playing here...
"Lady Lilith, I don't know which room the human target is in. Could it be that I want to be like him and slowly search for him room by room?"
The ghost manager's words were not because she was unwilling to find someone and wanted to slow down work. In fact, this was a skill she learned as a servant to figure out her boss's thoughts and intentions.
After all, there's nothing wrong with asking more questions to confirm your boss's intentions, right?
"It's okay, you can just look for it with peace of mind. As for the person that kid is looking for? I will secretly remind you then and tell you exactly which room she is in."
Lilith waved her hand to reassure her, and finally comforted her again.
