Lilith wondered what sort of backlash there would be if only one judge was banning Guardians from their courtroom. Surely Max couldn’t have been the only one that was against the Sailor Guardians? A small chuckle escaped her lips at the mention of the media, her lips soon forming into a smile as she took a bite from her food.

“Politics is truly a scandalous world, isn’t it? You can’t tell which party is telling the truth until their lies become too thick.” She’d known that since day one as Mayor, and since her duties before that. When there was a presidency in the United States, the media was questionable even then—who were you to believe?
 
Perhaps freedom of speech had gone too far.

“That seems silly.” Lilith arched a brow at the idea, wondering what was going on in Max’s mind. Could he truly believe that he’d met this crazy woman who believed that simply because she had power underneath her fingertips, she could control the world? Lilith knew Max though, and she’d known that this must have been bothering him a lot if he was to tell her about this. “If you met her before their identities were revealed, you’d have to remember her. Did you do your research on this Sailor Guardian to confirm whether or not you know her?”
 
Thanks to the internet, everything was public knowledge when you were a celebrity. If you were a Sailor Guardian, there was no escaping your background being on the internet. Just what dirty secrets could some of the Sailor Guardians have?
 
Lilith shrugged at the mention of the Dark Kingdom. Yes, they were also another threat that their city had to worry about, but insofar, Lilith wasn’t very impressed. “Hmph. When the Dark Kingdom becomes a bigger threat then I’ll worry about them. Wiseman is my primary concern.” Granted, it was a foolish move on her part to ignore the Dark Kingdom entirely, but she had a lot on her mind as Mayor. If one criminal faction wasn’t currently engaging in activities as they should have, then why should Lilith waste the city’s resources on them?
 
It didn’t make any sense.
 
“Of course. We can all blame it on you-know-who.”
 

Lilith chuckled at Max’s confidence. From everything that she’d learned in the political game, it was all about playing your cards correctly and keeping it that way. One false move and it could easily ruin your reputation. If the world had discovered her intense dislike for the Sailor Guardians, it would have caused many, many problems.
 
Not only would she lose her invitation inside the Crystal Palace, but she’d have the media all over her. Max was someone that she could trust with this knowledge, but she’d also known that she’d gain many supporters who felt the same.
 
“Then simply ignore it, Max. You’re overthinking it.” Lilith shrugged. If little things like this ever bothered her this much, it would have driven her mad. She wouldn’t be the confident leader that she was. Lilith governed the City of Orlando with absolute confidence in her abilities, but she was also one of the few Mayors who had to deal with rising threats such as beings with powers.
 
She was a force to be reckoned with as far as security went.
 
But as far as Wiseman went? It was a matter of infiltration. “There is only one solution: infiltrate the Black Moon from the inside. Have one of our men become recruited and relay information to us. But let’s enjoy our meal now, shall we, Max?” Lilith smiled. “These are things that can be discussed when we’re being paid.”
