ah?

Does he smell like Viktor?

Leah was a little confused and hadn't immediately grasped Gwen's meaning.

She looked down at the little fox in her arms, and said softly with a hint of confusion:

"It was a gift from Victor. Has the little guy's scent still lingered?"

It's not surprising that this little fox smells like Viktor.

She muttered to herself, puzzled, and looked up again, meeting Gwen's sharp, piercing gaze.

Gwen's gaze held a cold scrutiny, as if she wanted to see into the depths of Leah's heart.

Leah's doubts deepened. Faced with Gwen's unpredictable attitude, she always felt that Gwen's words had a hidden meaning.

On the contrary, Priscilla, who was standing next to her, was quite frightened by the heavy and cold atmosphere and hurriedly suggested:

“Auntie…and Miss Gwen.”

"Could we get into the carriage first and then continue our discussion?"

aunt?

Gwen's gaze then shifted to Priscilla.

That cold gaze was like a sharp silver sword hanging over Priscilla's head, making her feel an invisible pressure.

This gaze, so deep and thorough, seemed to see right through people's hearts, sending a chill down Priscilla's spine.

"What...what kind of look is that?"

How scary... Was Miss Gwen ever this frightening before?

She had met Gwen before, but had never felt such a strong aura.

That was ten years ago, when Victor's father first brought Miss Gwen to visit the kingdom.

In my memory, Miss Gwen had a fairly gentle personality.

Although he remains as silent and taciturn as ever, he has never experienced such a terrifying and oppressive feeling before.

Gwen now seems like a block of ice buried deep beneath millennia of snow and ice, whose mere gaze is enough to make one feel uneasy.

Similarly, Gwen clearly recognized Priscilla.

This mature-looking girl, whose appearance hasn't changed much since then, is Viktor's adopted daughter.

However, she did not possess Viktor's unique aura.

It's described as a taste, but even Gwen herself isn't quite sure what it feels like.

However, whenever she saw Lia and the little fox, she could always sense a lingering aura of Victor flowing around them.

So she specifically asked Liya a question.

Judging from Lia's demeanor, she didn't seem to be lying.

She glanced at the little fox again, and finally loosened her grip on Liya's arm.

Gwen didn't use much force; she just gently grabbed Leah's arm.

So, Lia didn't take it seriously.

She continued to gently stroke the little fox's pinkish-white fur, trying to soothe the frightened little creature.

Only then did he raise his head again, look at Gwen, and say:

"Let's get in the carriage first, and we can talk about it there."

Gwen nodded slightly, and with a graceful turn, she boarded the carriage.

Priscilla cast a concerned glance at Lydia.

After receiving a reassuring response from Lia, she followed Lia into the carriage.

As the servants drove the carriage, it began to move slowly forward.

The light sound of hooves echoed across the cobblestone streets of Shulburn, traversing the heart of the city.

They headed towards the territory far from the city center of Shulburn.

...

The slightly bumpy carriage made a soft rustling sound as the wood rubbed together, and the golden crest of the Clevner family gleamed in the sunlight.

Inside the carriage, Priscilla sat side by side with Lydia, while Gwen sat alone opposite them.

Her hands, covered in silver armor, rested quietly on her knees, the armor making a soft metallic clanging sound with the swaying of the carriage.

The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat oppressive; apart from the occasional bumps and outside noise, the carriage was almost completely silent.

Priscilla would occasionally glance up at Gwen cautiously, but her icy expression remained unchanged.

Whenever Gwen's gaze met hers, Priscilla would hurriedly look away and lower her head.

Finally, Gwen broke the long silence.

She got straight to the point:

Where is Viktor?

This problem seemed to be something Leah had anticipated, perfectly in line with Gwen's direct and decisive personality.

After all, as Viktor's fiancée, Gwen rushed over as soon as she learned of Viktor's injury.

It's normal that they're eager to see Viktor.

However, since it's acting, you have to go all the way.

Without hesitation, Leah shook her head and responded frankly:

"I have no idea."

Because she truly knew nothing about Viktor's whereabouts.

He returned without revealing his plans to her, and left hastily despite his injuries.

This made Lia unhappy for quite some time.

However, she also understood that this was precisely Viktor's behavior driven by his desire to avoid Gwen's sense of justice.

He also revealed this to her after Gwen became stronger.

Her sense of justice sometimes gets out of control and acts on its own.

If we say that in the past, the heart of justice was like a skill that needed to be actively activated.

Now, it seems to have become a permanent presence, always accompanying Gwen.

Therefore, when talking to Gwen, Leah always tries to be honest or chooses to remain silent.

Lia had thought about this question sometimes.

Perhaps Gwen herself realized that her sense of justice might cause trouble for others.

This is also why she became more silent and rarely communicated with others.

After realizing that Leah wasn't lying, Gwen nodded slightly.
