However, Viktor's gaze did not fall on her.
He simply stood quietly behind his Uncle Tisnato, seemingly listening intently to their conversation.
"Congratulations! A second-tier mage at only fifteen years old is a once-in-a-lifetime achievement in the entire empire."
When Angus said this, there was no smile on his calm and indifferent face, and his lips did not move at all.
His eyes were lifeless, and his gaze was somber.
These words startled Gwen behind him, and she secretly glanced at Victor again.
She was able to discern the truthfulness of Angus's words.
His praise was truly heartfelt.
This surprised Gwen.
So, Lia's brother is actually that amazing?
“Your daughter is also outstanding. She is only ten years old, but she has already undergone two and a half years of knight training.”
"What, are you planning to let her inherit your position?"
Angus nodded without hesitation.
"After all, Jashu has been... In short, he is not suited to be a knight."
He seemed to be about to say something, but upon noticing his daughter beside him, he stopped abruptly and said something else.
Gwen wasn't surprised.
Because she could tell that her father wasn't lying.
They want her to inherit the family business?
Where is her sister? Isn't Kefla also undergoing knight training?
At this point, Gwen could not fully understand her father's decision.
Halfway through the conversation, Tisnato smiled and said to Angus:
"Tell me about it, old friend."
"You not only called me here, but you also mentioned Viktor in the letter."
"There must be some difficulty that requires my help."
That's true.
Soon, after Angus had considered it for a long time, he spoke calmly.
"Indeed, I am currently facing some difficulties."
As he spoke, he glanced back at Gwen and said calmly:
"I want to find Gwen a fiancé."
"Find a fiancé? Now!?"
Upon hearing this, Tisnato was so startled that he stood up abruptly.
Staring wide-eyed at ten-year-old Gwen in disbelief.
This little girl is so young, she probably doesn't even understand what love is.
After being shocked for a while, Tisnato finally sat down again.
"So, you asked me to call Viktor over just to arrange a marriage between him and your Gwen?"
He nodded at Angus across from him, then shook his head, listening with some curiosity as Angus continued:
"That was indeed my initial thought."
But after seeing Viktor in person, Angus realized just how outstanding this fifteen-year-old boy was.
Any girl who sees him will fall in love.
Including Gwen,
He couldn't let Gwen get engaged to Victor, otherwise Gwen would definitely fall in love with him.
So Angus abandoned the idea.
For Gwen's sake, he knew he had to be more careful.
We must find someone Gwen would never fall in love with and get her engaged to him.
Therefore, he had no choice but to abandon his initial idea.
But at that moment, Viktor, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke:
"Uncle Angus."
His voice immediately drew Angus's attention, causing him to involuntarily look at the young boy.
Then, he noticed Viktor's gaze.
Those deep, bright eyes, as black as obsidian, revealed a composure and wisdom beyond their years.
It was as if he had already experienced all the vicissitudes of life.
His next words sent a chill down Angus's spine:
"If you are worried about your daughter's future, then entrust her to me."
An indescribable emotion flickered in Viktor's eyes.
It seems that they want to let go, but they also feel extremely unwilling.
Yes, I'm not reconciled.
Angus couldn't understand why Viktor would have such feelings.
Because he didn't know.
Gwen was Viktor's wife, with whom he spent his life.
Indeed, he had considered making Gwen feel the same way about him as Leah did.
He even considered not having any interaction with Gwen in this lifetime.
In this way, even if he fails again, he won't linger here because of their entanglement.
He didn't want to see them sad, and preferred to experience the cycle of reincarnation himself again and again.
But whenever he thought about Gwen possibly being given away by Angusto to someone else, and that Gwen being engaged to that unknown person,
Viktor's mood inexplicably turned irritable.
Even though he knew Angus would find someone Gwen wouldn't fall in love with.
Resentment and anger.
After a long silence, he finally understood his true feelings.
Possession.
right.
Even if he didn't want Gwen and the others to be sad because of him,
He also wanted to hold onto them firmly.
No one else shall be allowed to steal their love.
Therefore, Victor swore an oath in this lifetime:
"I promise I won't let her fall in love with anyone."
