“I don’t want this kind of absurd thing to happen again next time.”

"We're leaving, Erica."

Erica lowered her head and followed Reeves slowly away.

As she passed by Viktor, she seemed to recall the scene of Viktor hugging her just now, and her face flushed with embarrassment.

She didn't even dare to look up at him.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Rivi led Erica away from there.

Their gazes returned to Viktor.

Before anyone knew it, Victor had already put his hands in his pockets, completely oblivious to the stares of those around him.

As if they had completely understood something, everyone quickly lowered their heads and went about their own business.

Professors and lecturers continued to grade the students' performance, while parents also quickly checked their children's performance through the star-shaped bubbles in the sky.

The reporters, carrying magic stones, busied themselves trying to delete the footage they had accidentally recorded.

At that moment, a crow's hoarse cawing sounded softly in Viktor's ear;

"So, did he confess?"

Viktor remained expressionless and responded calmly:

"We talked about some interesting things."

Vija chuckled as he listened to Viktor's words.

"So, that Levi, um... what exactly does he want to do?"

Viktor did not answer immediately.

He looked up at the chaotic nebulae swirling together in the sky, just like the thoughts in Victor's mind.

"At least, his deep affection makes me admire him."

...

Reeve led Erica out of the academy.

The two of them boarded the carriage in silence, one after the other.

Sitting in the carriage, Erica was a little scared.

She was afraid she would anger her father.

After all, the situation today is completely different from that in the past.

The father seemed to dislike Viktor very much.

On her birthday last time, Victor confessed his feelings to her.

To be honest, Erica didn't feel anything.

Over the years, she had long since become accustomed to being confessed to.

But her father was furious about it.

Therefore, Erica was afraid that her father would get angry again because of this.

But the anger Erica expected did not materialize.

After getting into the carriage, Rivi did not show any emotion.

Instead, he reached out and pulled up all the curtains of the surrounding carriages, blocking out the bright sunlight.

Then, he solemnly said to Erica:

"Erica, if I asked you to leave this country, but I would let you choose someone to protect you forever, who would you choose?"

"Don't hold back, just tell me your truest thoughts."

Erica's face flushed slightly.

"I……"

In an instant, she thought of Viktor's tall and reliable figure.

He was powerful and taciturn, with a cold and proud expression often in his eyes.

All of this made Erica feel incredibly safe.

She didn't understand why her father would ask her this question.

But she was still conscious, and she raised her head to look at Reeves:

"I choose myself."

Revi was slightly taken aback, and before he could ask a question, he heard Erica continue.

"Father, if even you can no longer protect me."

"Who else can I rely on?"

Reeve looked at Erica, his breath catching in his throat.

He seemed relieved, sat back down, covered his forehead, and laughed a few times.

Did you see that...?

This is our child.

She has grown up.

Levi took a deep breath, crossed his hands on his lap, and leaned forward slightly.

“Child, I understand that at that moment, you must have considered the candidates.”

"But you ultimately chose this answer."

Reeve's gaze softened as he looked at Erica:

"You are my one and only treasure."

Then, he sat up straight and solemnly said to Erica:

"Dad will no longer stop you. You can pursue whatever you want."

"Including Viktor."

Um? ? ?

Upon hearing Reeve's words, Erica was stunned. She quickly closed her eyes, her hands and feet flailing in panic.

"Father, father, father, father! What are you saying?!?!"

Looking at the flustered Erica, Reeves calmly said:

"I will invite Viktor to our house tonight."

"You'll understand when the time comes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Levi thought of the agreement between him and Viktor.

He had long since lost hope and no longer wanted to even dream about it.

But now, the opportunity has never been so strongly presented to him.

Levi opened his palm, and a ball of blue magic gradually gathered in his hand, forming a suspended transparent water sphere that absorbed moisture from all directions.

He lowered his head, staring blankly at the shimmering magic rolling in his hand.

'I will bring you back.'

'must. '
