Even the two servants had serious expressions and were on edge.
They were as if they were afraid someone would come over and throw two eggs at their door.
Gwen, riding a white horse, dismounted at the gate of Clavner Manor.
She spoke very politely to the servant and expressed her wish to see Victor.
“I am Gwen Delin, Viktor’s fiancée.”
"I want to see him."
These words shocked the gatekeepers.
They had also heard of Gwen's great name—after all, she was a famous knight in the capital.
Of course, the main reason is that Gwen also became famous because of their patriarch, Victor.
However, according to custom, even though she was Viktor's fiancée, the servants still had to inform Viktor first.
They didn't want to be sent to work in the coal mines of Braxton by their capricious head of household for some minor mistake.
Gwen understood their predicament, so she waited patiently at the door.
She had expected a servant to invite her into the mansion, but a moment later, it was Victor himself who came out to greet her.
"Why are you here?"
Gwen's first sight was of Victor, who was frowning and seemed to be full of displeasure.
He hadn't changed much from before; he was still wearing a black trench coat, his hands in his pockets, his face expressionless and calm.
Gwen admitted that her fantasy about Victor had never changed.
The feeling was even more profound during their time alone together.
He will become family with her...
But since she had come specifically to ask some questions, she considered her words carefully before speaking seriously:
"The rumors circulating outside... that you blew up the Earl's house, injured his son, and beat up other nobles' children in the street, is that true?"
Gwen, it's okay.
You possess a sense of justice and the ability to distinguish truth from falsehood.
Viktor cannot lie to you.
That's why Gwen took the initiative to seek the truth.
But as she asked her question, Viktor's cold response slowly followed:
"It's true."
"What does this have to do with you?"
That's the truth.
Gwen didn't pay attention to Viktor's last sentence, but felt a sense of relief after Viktor admitted it.
At least, he didn't lie to her.
She dislikes liars.
However, Viktor's behavior was excessive.
Even if it was truly for her sake, she should have said a few words to Viktor and warned him not to do it again.
So, when she asked again to verify,
"Is it for me?"
These words left Viktor speechless for a long time.
Then, under Gwen's expectant gaze,
Viktor's voice rang out coldly:
"They made a mistake."
He did not directly answer Gwen's question, but Gwen took his words as 'the truth'.
Gwen stared at Viktor in disbelief.
I watched helplessly as his lips parted slightly, and he continued to utter even more extreme remarks.
"Their stupidity annoys me, even disgusts me."
"If I could, I wouldn't feel any remorse even if I killed them."
Every word was a heavy truth, making Gwen almost unable to believe her ears.
The chivalrous education she received from childhood always taught her to persuade people to do good, uphold justice, and eliminate evil.
However, what she heard from Viktor were words that almost completely overturned her values.
Gwen couldn't believe that this person could say such things.
wrong,
Perhaps, this is the real Victor.
Just like Leah had always told her.
Victor has always been a bad guy.
Her body trembled, and under Victor's deliberate prompting, she asked one last question:
"What exactly do you take these people for...?"
Upon hearing this, Viktor finally smiled.
His laughter was light and airy, carrying a casual disdain.
It's like looking down on everyone in the world on equal terms.
"It is as small as dust and insignificant."
So, will you still fall in love with me like this?
He stared at Gwen, whose head was bowed and whose expression was obscured.
Viktor knew that everything he said was the truth.
Even more so, if Gwen had asked him more firmly whether everything was for her sake.
She will definitely get the answer she wants.
But she didn't.
Because Gwen didn't know that even the truth could be disguised as a lie.
Victor was not lying, but Gwen received a lie that he had carefully crafted from the truth.
There's no turning back now; I have nowhere to retreat.
So, just start hating me like this.
"……No."
"I will not accept that answer."
Victor looked slightly surprised as he gazed at Gwen.
Observing her raise her head again, her eyes were firm, her expression resolute, pure and strong.
"I am a knight."
Even if our paths are completely different.
Even if the ending is already predetermined,
Even though I already feel disgusted by you.
"I will also keep this marriage vow."
"I will not marry anyone but you."
