"The eldest prince is still unmarried."

Upon hearing this, Lia's expression remained unchanged. She leaned back on the sofa and asked:

"So, what does this have to do with our Clavner family?"

When Jess Reiser heard Lydia's seemingly silly question, he shook his head and smiled.

“Miss Lia really doesn’t understand. The Clavenna family is currently at the height of its power. Your brother has become the princess’s private tutor. If you were to marry the Crown Prince—”

Listening to Jess's words, Lia reached out and carefully arranged her newly done nails through the sunlight streaming through the window.

The afternoon sun was very warm, shining on Liya's delicate, fair face, making her look so noble.

She didn't even glance at Jess, and said casually:

Did Victor agree?

"Um?"

Lia looked up at the somewhat stunned Jess Raiser and said calmly:

“Mr. Jess, my brother is the head of the family. You’d better remember that.”

“He has no intention of making me marry, so even if the eldest prince comes in person, I will not marry him. I will see him out.”

Jess Reiser seemed to want to say something more, but a cold glint flashed in Gwen's eyes, and he narrowed his eyes and chuckled softly.

"Then I won't bother Miss Liya any longer."

"His Highness the Crown Prince will be back in a while, and then we can discuss this in more detail."

Jess Reiser stood up, dusted himself off, and left the conference room with his servants.

Lia sat on the sofa, and Gwen looked at her with some concern.

"Lia, you..."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Lia waved her hand dismissively. In truth, she hadn't expected the other party to set their sights on her.

Is it because I'm also a member of the Clavner family?

It is indeed a good thing that when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs benefit from it, but correspondingly, she also becomes a source of profit for others.

"What kind of person is the eldest prince? All I know is that he has always been in the south and rarely returns to the capital."

Gwen thought for a moment and said:

"He is hailed as the prince who most resembles the current emperor."

Legend has it that the eldest prince was a very upright and magnanimous man who treated ordinary people well and personally led the army to suppress the demons who were rebelling in the south.

There is a huge monster rift on the southern border of the empire, from which monsters spew forth at any time.

The surrounding small cities are so peaceful now because of the protection provided by the Crown Prince and his army.

He was a hero in the eyes of many in the empire.

A man like this, who is still unmarried at the age of thirty, is admired by noble ladies both inside and outside the capital.

Lia nodded and said:

"I see."

"According to you, a man with such leadership qualities and personal charisma, who has no shortage of women, would he even be interested in me?"

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but laugh.

Benefit.

It's unclear whether Jess Raiser had the First Prince's permission to approach the Clevner family, but in any case...

After Victor became the princess's tutor, the Clavenna family inevitably became embroiled in the royal court's machinations.

Lia shook her head and said calmly.

“Viktor is a man who values ​​profit, and I cannot entrust my life to him.”

Although... he seems to have changed now.

But who knows if this change is just a false lie?

She also hopes that Victor can come back and tell everyone as a family member.

No one can restrict Lia's freedom.

But she didn't want this to become just a fantasy or wishful thinking.

Lia rubbed her head and stood up:

"Looks like I'll have to handle it myself."

Gwen quickly said from the side:

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Lia glanced at Gwen with a smile;

"Need not."

Gwen is too upright; an upright person like her doesn't need to get involved in this kind of chaos.

Anyway, this wasn't the first time she'd done something like this. Lia stretched out her fingers, and the magic crystal at her waist lit up slightly, as if conveying some message.

...

On the street, a simply dressed passerby boarded a horse-drawn carriage.

He sat down and looked at the distinguished man in front of him.

Owesser Thor, the second prince of the Karencia Empire.

“Your Highness, Jess Reiser has just left the Clavner family.”

The second prince listened to his subordinates' reports with a smile in his eyes, remaining calm and composed.

David, feeling uneasy, couldn't help but ask.

“Your Highness, if the Crown Prince truly has the support of the Clavner family, you…”

"What makes you think Victor will let Lia marry him?"

The second prince squinted and looked out the window.

“You know what, David? My favorite emotion is jealousy.”

David was somewhat stunned, but he dared not utter a sound and could only listen to his master talking to himself.

“Jealousy is interesting; it arouses greed.”

“Because of jealousy, Jesleys was angry, so he was eager to help my foolish brother.”

"So he will selectively forget some things and end up doing something uncontrollable, but everything can seem reasonable and normal."

He smiled, but there was a subtle chill in his laughter.

“Jesreiser is like that, and so is his stupid brother.”

"Because he's just jealous."

...

The next morning, the sun rose early, and the guards were still standing at the gate of the compound.
