Chapter 380 What is God
"No one is born to work for others, Leila."
Lilith looked at her sister helplessly. Leila had been trained as a territory heir since she was a child. Her views on employing people were different from hers, and she was more like a superior...
"But they have made an oath, and an oath is an oath! The meaning of an oath is to abide by it and to practice it!"
As Leila spoke, the red hair on her forehead trembled with her, like jumping flames.
This is the truth she has believed in since she was a child, and it is the founding principle of the Taylor family as a family of knights.
"Of course, of course!" Lilith raised her hands in surrender. "I have never doubted this, and I believe Catherine is the same. The Oath Keepers all have noble hearts, which is admirable and something that everyone should learn from."
"But..." Lilith changed the subject.
"Leila, many students in the academy are not like you. They have not received knight education since childhood. They joined Goletia just to save food for their families and learn some skills to support themselves in the future. The Guardian's Oath is just a ceremony for them to enter school. It has no meaning..."
"That's why you should change the guardian and find someone who understands the weight of the oath. I think maybe you can consider it from the seniors." Leila went back to the original topic.
"But this oath was made without their knowledge. They had no idea what they would face in the future. This oath contains deception and is inherently unfair. I don't think it has the sanctity of a vow." Even though Catherine was present, Lilith pointed this out without hesitation.
Leila choked and was unable to refute for a moment.
"Leila." Lilith took her sister's hand and sat down again. "I know you care about me. You are worried about my safety, just as I am worried about you. However, those guardians also have families, and their families are also concerned about them. I don't think I am worth anyone sacrificing their lives for me."
"Who said that!" Leila tried to get up again, but was held back by Lilith, which made her even more annoyed. "Why is it not worth it?"
"You have to argue with me on every word, don't you?" Lilith flicked her sister's head to help her wake up. "Why do you always have to think about who should be sacrificed? I never work hard for this, I just hope everyone can survive."
"That's just your idea." Leila broke away from her hand. "It's a naive idea. How can there be no sacrifice on the battlefield? In my opinion, anyone can pick up a sword as long as they have the courage, but it is much more difficult to train a magician. Otherwise, why would Goletia set up the guardian system to protect you?"
Seeing that the two could not convince each other, Lilith sighed helplessly, but still insisted on her own idea, "I will not change the guardian, and I never think they are derelict in their duty. Next time, I will still make the same choice. Of course, maybe I can handle it better."
Leila was so angry that her chest heaved violently. She stared at her for a long while, then walked out with her sword in hand.
"Don't snicker, I saw it." Lilith walked towards Catherine and sat on the other half of the bench where the latter was sitting and collapsed. She hadn't been in such a safe environment for many days, and now she stretched comfortably.
"It seems that you are not worried that Leila will be angry with you." Catherine glanced at Lilith, who looked calm, and raised the book again.
The two of them, each occupying one side of the soft bench, looked pleasing to the eye.
"Of course, everyone has different ideas. There's no need to argue about who's better, or to convince the other person." Lilith didn't worry at all that such a quarrel would affect the relationship between the two sisters. "That's not what I came to talk to you about."
Catherine put the book down again and looked across with raised eyebrows.
Lilith stood up from the armrest of the bench, supported herself with her hands, and moved closer to Catherine.
"What exactly is God?"
