Instead, it gently pats the clouds and flies away into the distance.
Then, the palace finally turned into a handful of settled dust, which piled up on the ground, forming a mound.
The falling tile did not hit either of them.
The sound of it falling was just too loud.
So loud that no one could hear the silent exchange between the two.
...
Victor is dead.
He died at Gwen's hands.
The news spread throughout the entire empire overnight.
Grand Knight Gwent's reputation soared as a result.
All the people of the Empire regard Gwen as their savior and the embodiment of justice.
Upon hearing of Victor's death, the rebellious nobles returned their lands and willingly accepted punishment.
After all, they were genuinely frightened.
Viktor's strength is well-known.
Otherwise, so many nobles wouldn't have been willing to follow him and attempt to overthrow the Karencia Empire.
Even so, he still died at Gwen's hands.
It is said that a single shot pierced Viktor's heart.
Nobody wants to be Gwen's next target.
Especially after most of the territory had been recovered, only to be retaken by Victor.
These people had been punished once and wouldn't dare to do it again, but Viktor forced them to rebel.
There was no way around it; Victor was so terrifying that anyone who didn't listen to him would really be sent to work in the coal mines.
Anyway, it's safe to just pin the blame on Viktor.
Furthermore, since everyone already harbored resentment towards Viktor, and not everything they said was a lie, Gwen's sense of justice was proven.
But no one knew that this made Gwen feel even more confused.
Because of these nobles, they had all turned against them.
He was only afraid of being punished, and was turned against him again by Viktor.
Their sense of justice proved them right.
While telling the truth cannot be judged as a standard of justice,
But they shifted all the blame onto Viktor, which turned out to be true.
Therefore, Gwen was unable to punish them, and she felt lost.
So, according to this logic, Victor is definitely bad, and the nobles are definitely forced into it?
If it weren't for feeling confused, it would be because I'm overthinking.
Her sense of justice will surely make her forget that they were inherently evil.
As time went on, reclaiming the remaining territory became much easier.
One by one, the nobles surrendered, sometimes even before Gwen arrived, they had already hastily raised their banners of submission.
The nobles were terrified that Gwen would arrest them, interrogate them, and then execute them.
There were a few tough guys, though, who tried to resist.
As a result, Gwen single-handedly breached the city and beheaded all the lords.
Such efficient action deterred anyone from resisting, and they all surrendered.
Viktor died less than half a month later.
The entire empire then returned to House Thor and came under the rule of Empress Aurelion.
In less than a year, the internal strife in the empire was quelled, and everyone became aware of the power of Empress Aurelion and Grand Knight Gwen.
No one dared to voice the slightest dissatisfaction with Aurelion's rule anymore.
Moreover, apart from Aurelion, all of the late emperor's children were killed by Aurelion.
She's all alone now. If she can't be the emperor, who will?
But nobody's tired of living. They don't have Thor's name, nor do they have Victor's abilities.
There was no punishment for the Clevner family, after all, Victor had been missing for nearly a year and a half.
The Clevina family has no connection with Victor anymore.
The Empress still remembered that when vast swathes of the empire rebelled and the capital faced its most difficult times, it was the Clavner family who provided assistance.
Therefore, after Victor's death, his title was retained and passed on to Leah.
Lia officially became the head of the Clavenna family.
But thereafter, she remained in Bryston forever, never leaving again, and never appearing in the public eye.
The Clevner family's businesses came to a standstill one by one, leaving only a few shops that could sustain the family.
It seems the entire Clevner family suddenly lost the motivation to make money.
As a result, Lia stopped doing business.
After Viktor's death, everyone connected to him seemed to be affected.
For example, Henney.
Henney had considered ending her life.
In the dimly lit room, she held a jet-black dagger, raised it straight up, and pointed it at her neck.
The weapon in her hand was specially made for the Witcher.
For a demon like Heni, using this would be the easiest way to commit suicide.
Henney, holding the dagger, hesitated and gently stabbed it into her neck.
His fair neck was slashed open by the sharp blade, and crimson blood gushed out.
But just as Henney was about to pierce herself...
A powerful burst of magic erupted from a corner of the room, striking the middle of the dagger and knocking the weapon away.
After the dagger was forcefully knocked away, the wound that had just formed on her neck healed instantly due to her powerful self-healing ability.
But Henne felt no joy; she lowered her head, and her body suddenly went limp.
At the same time, it felt as if something was stuck in her throat, and her voice became choked.
"Why don't you let me die?"
"I think I should go down and keep him company."
