As if reflecting on something, Kasanna let out a soft sigh.

"You are the princess of the empire, and everything you do should be for the sake of the empire."

"I hope you remember that I was once a princess too."

Having said that, she didn't look at Aurelian's silent expression again.

He turned and walked outside, calling out softly to Aurelion:

"Let's go outside."

As the two walked, Kasanna suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She squinted, as if she sensed something.

His eyes, like those of a venomous snake, peered into the nearby darkness.

"As a guest, do I have to sneak around when I come here?"

Aurelion was puzzled, but just as Cassandra finished speaking, a drop of pitch-black liquid slowly flowed out from the shadows.

The black shadow swelled up, like water surging in a pool, and grew into the form of a living creature.

It was a one-eyed crow with only one eye.

It chuckled, with an indescribable sinister charm.

This made Kasanna suddenly freeze.

She couldn't quite understand it.

Why is there a crow here?

Aurelion recognized the raven, covered her mouth, and exclaimed in surprise.

"It's...it's the teacher's crow!"

"teacher?"

Kasanna turned around and looked at Aurelion.

She naturally knew who Aurelion's teacher was.

It could only be that one person...

Suddenly, greenery sprouted, and countless vines twined around the ground.

It seemed to have transformed into the shape of a wooden figure.

The crow flapped its wings and perched on the wooden figure's shoulder.

Suddenly, the wooden figure moved.

His hands stiffly came together, then opened.

It's like applause.

Then, the vines on the wooden figure's head gradually faded away.

A somewhat gaunt face was revealed.

He smiled and said to Lady Kasanna.

“Well said, Mrs. Kasanna.”

Aurelion was utterly astonished when she saw who it was.

"Teacher...!"

She didn't even realize when Victor had come in.

Lady Kasanna looked at Viktor coldly.

"It really was you, Viktor..."

"What's the meaning of your appearance here?"

"Prove to me that you have the ability to bypass the eyes and ears of all the guards in the Leiser family?"

Viktor smiled, and the wooden figure on his body gradually transformed into a trench coat, which he draped over his shoulders.

"Don't get too excited, madam."

That's not what I meant.

As his trench coat swayed in the breeze, Victor's body seemed to have completely transformed.

He put his hands back in his trench coat pockets and smiled confidently.

"I just want to tell you that none of you can beat me."

Kasanna took a deep breath and glared at Viktor.

Aurelion stepped forward and took Lady Kasanna's hand.

"Aunt, no..."

"What the teacher said is true."

Kasanna looked down at her.

"So what? I am Cassandra, a former princess of the Empire! The head of the Raiser family!"

"Am I just supposed to stand by and watch him act so arrogantly on the territory of the Leiser family?"

She turned her head back to look at Victor.

"Victor, what makes you so confident?"

Viktor's gaze was incredibly calm, yet tinged with a hint of helplessness.

“There’s something I once said to your son, Jess.”

"I think I can say the same thing to you."

He made no extra movements, only the three broken heads on his chest flashed a bright blue light.

"Call me Congresswoman, Ms. Kasanna."

Kasanna was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding what Viktor meant.

However, she only blinked once.

Suddenly, it was as if I had appeared in another world.

Everything around them disappeared.

Aurelion, the gate, the surrounding forest, even the ground beneath your feet.

It seems to have been replaced by a barren and desolate land.

A raging fire suddenly rose up, seemingly about to completely engulf the sky.

Kasanna suddenly looked up, sensing some kind of danger.

She was stunned.

A monster appeared before her.

It was a monster that humans could never contend with, a colossal beast capable of destroying the world.

It dragged its volcano-like body, moving slowly.

Stepping on the sea of ​​fire, his body was covered in extremely hot lava.

His eyes were bloodshot, as if surging with intense flames of anger.

It's as if it could burn everything to ashes in the next second.

The towering flames and the endless ashes were so overwhelming that even Kasana, who had been through countless wars, felt an extremely terrifying sense of oppression and shock.

By this time, she was covered in sweat and her body was stiff. She could only watch as the colossal, world-destroying beast continued to roam across the barren land.

It was as if everything had been burned away.

"This is...natural energy?"

Kasanna had dealt with elves for a long time and was very sensitive to natural energy.

The raging beast surrounded by ever-rising flames.

It's like...

A collection of natural energies.

If such energy could be used by the Raiser family.

It could probably support the energy consumption of the city of Thypo for more than a century!

But just then, Viktor's figure emerged step by step from the flames.

The flames seemed to have no effect on him.

"How could this be..."

Kasanna stared blankly at Viktor.

She sensed it the instant Viktor appeared.

This enormous natural energy.

It came from Victor.

This was something she couldn't understand, and even found hard to accept.

Under the aura of the flames, Victor's trench coat swayed incessantly, gradually becoming longer.

Red patterns covered the entire garment, resembling a crimson flame.

He stood quietly atop the fiery behemoth, head bowed, looking down at Cassandra.

"how."

"You're not convinced?"
