There must be a reason why Viktor has never come.
Gwen always understood and accepted this.
Even though they had never seen each other since the year the engagement was made.
Even if their relationship is only slightly better than that of so-called strangers.
But it is precisely because of the longing for that initial "family" relationship,
And then there's her belief, as a knight, that she absolutely cannot break her promise.
Gwen waited willingly.
Time slips away unnoticed, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The current head of the Clyvenar family, Tisnato, has passed away.
Victor succeeded him as head of the family.
Because the Cleviner family had little contact with other noble families...
Therefore, apart from Gwen and her sister Kevlar attending on behalf of their father Angus, almost no outsiders attended Tisnato's funeral.
They witnessed firsthand how Tisnatho's coffin and his armor were placed in the tomb.
This is the scene when Gwen sees Viktor again after five years.
Fifteen years old is the age when a young girl's heart begins to flutter with romantic feelings.
Gwen was no exception.
She attended her Uncle Tisnato's funeral and, out of curiosity, kept observing her fiancé whom she hadn't seen for five years.
Now twenty years old, Victor is no longer the naive young man he once was; he possesses the composure and elegance of a mature gentleman.
Even at his Uncle Tisnato's funeral, his cold expression showed little emotion.
His emotions seemed colder than the harsh winter of the North.
In contrast, Lia
She cried her heart out, collapsing onto Tisnato's tombstone, her voice hoarse and her body limp.
Gwen didn't know how to comfort Lia.
She found herself becoming increasingly curious about her fiancé, with whom she was already engaged.
Why?
They were all children of the same father, so why did Viktor show no sadness?
Does he not have a heart?
But she put herself in her shoes.
Would she be as sad as Lia if her own father passed away?
Gwen couldn't imagine that scene.
But this did not stop her from developing a deeper curiosity about Viktor.
She longed to know more about Victor and what kind of person this man, destined to spend his life with her, truly was.
Soon, Gwen finally got that opportunity.
That was shortly after Victor became the head of the family.
He purchased a mansion in the capital and moved there.
Fifteen-year-old Leah was left alone in the house in Braxton.
After Tisnato's official death, Lia took over the entire family business.
The sibling relationship was already strained.
After Victor moved to the capital and lived in a different place from Lia, they had even fewer opportunities to meet, and their relationship deteriorated further.
From that day on, Lia never had any expectations of her brother again.
But Gwen saw the possibility of direct contact with Viktor because of his trip to the capital.
For the first time, she defied her father Angus's arrangements, resolutely stating that she would go to the capital, join the Royal Knights, and begin to support herself.
She has that ability.
After Angus agreed, Gwen quickly set off for the capital and moved into the mansion that her sister Kevlar had previously purchased.
Because she was born into a prestigious knightly family, and possessed strong physical abilities, devout faith, and a strong sense of responsibility,
Gwen quickly distinguished herself in the Royal Knights, becoming the only female knight to be accepted at the age of fifteen.
Moreover, she possesses an innate "sense of justice" and can see through the lies of many people.
This ability greatly improves the Knights' efficiency in maintaining order and eliminating scourges.
Therefore, she was highly respected throughout the entire Knights Order.
Even Gwen herself didn't expect that her abilities, which had instilled fear in adults since childhood, would be so highly valued within the Royal Knights.
She had never experienced such treatment before; the sudden respect overwhelmed Gwen at that time.
This further strengthened her resolve to work hard and repay the Knights.
Due to her busy daily work schedule, and the need to use her special abilities to personally interrogate prisoners,
Gwen barely had time to take care of herself.
She originally came to the capital to join the Royal Knights in order to meet Victor, but she never managed to find him.
So, was Viktor unable to come to see her because he was always too busy?
Gwen thought about it more and more and found this explanation to be reasonable.
After all, the distance from Brighton to Northern Xinjiang is far greater than any conventional route.
Fortunately, she never blamed Viktor for it.
However, because the engaged couple had never met each other,
So much so that almost no one knew that Gwen actually had a fiancé.
Although Gwen was only fifteen years old at the time, she had already shown a spirit and charm that surpassed her peers.
As a member of the Royal Knights, she frequently participated in missions and inevitably came into contact with many nobles.
Her repeated appearances captivated many noblemen, who fell for the beautiful female knight.
After making inquiries from various sources, they learned that she was the youngest daughter of the esteemed head of the Delin family.
As guardians of the frontier, the Delin family controlled a portion of the empire's knightly military power.
Given this background, there were quite a few noble families interested in Gwen.
Some noble sons would even personally go to the Royal Knights and specifically request to see Gwen.
At first, Gwen did not understand the true intentions of these nobles.
But as a knight, she had a responsibility to listen to the difficulties of both nobles and commoners.
However, she could see through the lies in all the requests those noble young men made to her.
Most of these cases involved homes that had been burglarized or ransacked by intruders.
Even worse, some people claimed that their fathers had been kidnapped by bandits.
In the end, they were all full of lies, and not a single word of theirs could be taken seriously.
So she exposed their lies one by one and resolutely rejected all their requests.
She told her other colleagues about it, and they told Gwen that the nobles were just looking for an opportunity to ask her out.
Ask her out? Why would I ask her out?
At that time, Gwen was unaware of her growing charm until one day, a man came to propose to her.
In fact, this man was the son of a count, and according to her colleagues, his family background was extremely distinguished.
Moreover, Gwen could tell that the other person was telling the truth.
But it was on that occasion that Gwen, who usually never got angry even when encountering so many liars,
After receiving the nobleman's truth, he was furious for the first time and threw the nobleman out.
And in front of the entire Royal Knights, he told that young nobleman.
“I already have a fiancé, his name is Victor Clavner!”
