Fraus took a deep breath and smiled. These dreams must be his subconscious mind telling him that he cannot be at his power level for the time being. He thought.
"This is weird that I can say that."
Fraus whispered to himself. He took a shower and then went downstairs, where he, as usual, makes an angry face when he sees Lilly working. For the time being, he is not going to kill this woman. For the time being, there is no need for her to die when there is still the Blue Bird Empire watching over him. Killing her would only draw attention to herself. nothing much.
Lilly saw Fraus and started to speak.
"Lord Fraus, may I say something?"
Fraus stops for a second and then hits the table twice, signaling that he wants a beer before listening to what she wants to say to herself.
Lilly fills a beer for Fraus and puts it on the table as she starts to speak. She takes a big deep breath before speaking. Her face gets red from shame.
"I know what I did is wrong and counts as a betrayal."
But I want to say that I did not do that with evil intentions; I was just scared of my well-being. "
Fraus took a sip of beer and then spoke.
"Fetch me some snacks from the back,"
Lilly let out a breath and then went back to bring some potato chips and things like that that go well with beer. These snacks were introduced by Lord Fraus himself, and surprisingly, they do well and go well with people visiting the inn. Lilly did not expect that Lord Fraus would have some sort of intelligence when it came to those kinds of things.
But it is still a good surprise.
Frau starts eating and drinking after she finishes preparing the snacks.
"I know and understand you to some degree."
But, if I was not careful, I would be in a cell, rotting away in despair and filth. "
"What would you do if you had the power to do something you wanted without any problem, and a woman you had no problem with using some sort of different ways to keep you locked in a cage?"

"Why would I pardon you for your motives? It is not that you are a kid. "
Also, if I did get caught, you would have no problem letting me stay in that cage, letting me rot away. Now that I have not gotten caught and you are in danger, you can talk to me. Why is that? "
Fraus' words rang like thunder.Every word from him is true to some extent. There is no word that can be said by Lilly to refute him. She just can not say that you are evil and getting caught is a good thing. You should not do bad to me now that you are not caught and you know that I am the one who tried to trap you. In the end, Fraus himself does not hide anything when it comes to his true face. He is evil and he will do evil. It is expected that good-natured people will try to stop his movements and kill him if possible, but it is also expected that if they are not successful with what they are doing, he will have the right to kill them too.
In a sense, he does not need a right like good people. If he wants, he can do whatever he wants. He does not need a particular reason to do what he wants.
Lilly looked at the ground and then spoke.
"I know everything you said is true, but do accept my pardon and do not kill me. I was a little bit more naive. I thought that by giving you to Blue Bird Empire, I was doing good. Then I noticed they were not that different.
The last sentence of Lilly took the interest of Fraus; "I noticed they are not that different."
Fraus took a sip of his drink and ate some snacks on the table before asking.
"Eleborate on the matter of" means they are not different.
Lilly takes a deep breath and answers.
"In the end, they are ready to kill for profit, let go someone for profit and gain. They call themselves judges and good, but they are ready to let me go and put me in front of you to wait for you to kill me. It is like using a human being as a living bait to take the lion out of the cage, so that they can put you in their own cage.
They do it in the name of the greater good. In their eyes, catching you alive or dead is worth more than just a woman's life, my life. "
"Is this a good thing or just a thing that was introduced by them in the name of keeping their power and authority by sacrificing pawns?" "Why do they want to kill you because you are evil or kill other people?"
Lilly shook her head and added
If you go to them today and say you want to work for them, they will put you to work killing other people. It is not about good or evil, it is about "controlled-evil". They want evil people to do the dirty work, but in the name of the Blue Bird Empire, not by themselves. "
In their eyes, an evil act or an evil person is only evil if it does not belong to them. They work like a lone wolf.
Fraus listened without saying anything. He understood that at least Lilly learned some things and did everything according to her naive understanding of dark and white. He took a deep breath and then finished the beer and snacks.
"I will think about what you said."
After saying his words, he left the Unity Inn. Leaving Lilly in the Inn alone with other customers and other thoughts about her future
