The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death (Pantsu Hero Alice) Chapter 374 - So, Lilith Is a Sensible Fangirl?

How Lilith intended to deal with Canlat was outside of Alice's knowledge. Alice guessed that Canlat's fate would probably depend on Lilith's mood. If Lilith was in a bad mood, she might just execute him and be done with him. If she was in a good mood, she might find a spirit magician to erase his memories and release him.

Lilith was already made aware of the "Scar Eating Bone" hidden in Canlat's finger.

Hence, he used "snatching the throne" as bait to try and lure a large number of demons into the Rhine Kingdom.

However, if Alice revealed all of these things, Lilith's mood would probably worsen even more. At that time, a swift death would probably be the best outcome Canlat could hope for. Otherwise, who knew what kind of tortures Lilith would put him through?

Hence, for Canlat's safety, Alice chose to keep her mouth shut.

"Since this is an internal affair of the Rhine Kingdom, let me be the one to conduct the final investigation," Lilith said to Alice after seeing Canlat dragged off by her subordinates, her expression looking somewhat ugly. It was obvious that this revelation had dealt a significant mental blow
