The golden scales hovered in the air, swinging up and down on both sides, seemingly sizing up the mysterious person who approached.

Aurelion gazed at the golden scales before her, pondering slowly:

In the legend, there was once a goddess with a strong sense of justice who descended to earth to weigh right and wrong on the scales of heaven.

But the world's strife eventually affected her. The constant wars caused the gods to lose all hope for humanity, except for the goddess of justice, who still wanted to believe in humankind.

However, the conflicts continued unabated, and humanity, without any reflection, continued to engage in pointless self-destruction. In the end, the goddess of justice also gave up hope and disappeared with Libra.

However, the myths never mention that the scales of justice ultimately remained with Endymion.

Now it seems that Endymion actually had the protection of the legendary goddess of justice.

Aurelion's mind cleared up considerably.

It seems that the Mage Council worships the Goddess of Justice.

Aurelion examined the golden scales closely for a while.

But apart from seeing some residual magic power on it, she couldn't sense any other aura.

Aurelion shook her head; perhaps what was before her didn't hold much appeal for her.

This kind of 'divine' creation cannot be taken away by anyone unless they are recognized by it.

She glanced at Libra one last time, then turned and slowly left the dark tunnel.

The golden scales slowly regained their balance as Aurelion left.

The light above gradually dimmed.

...

Time flew by, and Aurelion, exhausted from standing there, didn't care whether her clothes would get dirty.

Following the flow of her long dress, she sat on the floating rock, watching the fantastical clouds in the distance constantly changing their shapes.

Aurelion found it rather surprising.

Soon, the sky gradually darkened, and swirling nebulae appeared as if they had climbed up the curtain of darkness. Aurelion then realized that she had spent a whole day there.

"……Um?"

So she has been away from the palace with her teacher for a day now?

Before this, she had never even considered leaving the palace to spend the night.

Aurelion yawned, lying on the floating rocks, gazing at the dreamlike sky, her eyes sparkling with starlight.

"The feeling of freedom."

"That's really good."

...

Clevina House.

Outside the courtyard gate, the royal guards in iron armor were still waiting for the princess's return.

They had been waiting here for a day and a night.

They will not leave this place for a moment as long as the princess does not return.

At this moment, Lia sat at her desk, one hand supporting her chin, deep in thought, her mind filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Where did Viktor go?

It's one thing for him to disappear, but why did he take the princess with him too?

How are we going to explain this to the royal family?

She simply couldn't understand what Victor was thinking.

Gwen, who was sitting next to her, patted her on the shoulder, sighed, and began to offer words of advice:

"Lia, don't worry."

“Victor did something similar last time, and the princess returned unharmed.”

"He is, after all, the princess's teacher, and I believe he knows what he's doing."

After listening to Gwen's comforting words, Leah glanced at Gwen with a puzzled look and asked in return:

"Didn't you used to hate Viktor the most?"

Her eyes were fixed on Gwen, who was taken aback by the question and turned her head away, speaking in a very soft voice.

"Well... at least he seems normal for now."

So you think he was very abnormal before, right?

Lia sighed softly.

Last night, when Henney learned that Victor had disappeared with the princess, she was very worried.

Even when she went to help out at the prop shop this morning, she seemed somewhat distracted.

Seeing Henney's appearance, Lia understood a lot.

Quite a few girls are indeed infatuated with that bastard Victor.

"Gwen."

Thinking of this, Lia looked at Gwen again.

Strictly speaking, she felt from a young age that Gwen and Victor were completely unsuitable for each other.

After all, the two of them had always looked down on each other since they were young.

Gwen hates Viktor's hypocrisy, while Viktor hates Gwen's sense of justice.

But now it seems that their relationship has taken a turn for the better.

However……

"You're not in a hurry at all."

Lia sighed helplessly.

"In a hurry? What's the rush?"

Gwen was puzzled; she didn't understand what Leah meant.

Lia didn't say a word more, only silently complaining in her heart:

Victor took the princess away for a day and a night, and the two spent the night alone together.

Who could have imagined what would happen between the two of them?

Viktor is really bold; he actually dared to leave the capital with the princess and hasn't returned for even a day.

If it weren't for Emperor Aubrey's deep trust, an arrest warrant would probably be delivered to his doorstep by now.

Even worse, you might already be arrested and imprisoned, forced to sing "Tears Behind Bars."

It now appears that the old emperor almost completely condoned the princess's contact with Victor.

A knock sounded on the door, and Celia entered the study.

Holding a royal decree in her hand, she stood before Gwen and began to read it aloud.

"Sir Gwen, Dean Rachel has already reported the whereabouts of Victor and Her Highness the Princess."
