Viktor's next words shut her up completely.
"I want to be the emperor."
"...?"
Lia blinked, somewhat bewildered.
No, she knew her brother had been acting strangely for a long time, and she was prepared for the possibility that he might not be ready.
So she always tried to warm his coldness in the way of a gentle younger sister.
result……
Did she somehow manage to raise a usurper?
Without thinking, she stood up and moved closer to Victor.
Then he gently pressed his head against Viktor's forehead.
"He doesn't have a fever."
Victor: "..."
You could have just touched it with your hand, why did you have to press your face right against it?
This was clearly intentional.
Leah parted with a hint of reluctance, sat back on the bed, then crossed one leg, leaned forward slightly, and rested her fist against her chin.
He began to think with a very serious expression.
"Who do you want our family to assassinate? Duke Reeves? Hmm... If you want to be emperor, he is indeed the biggest obstacle."
"What about the princess? Should we kill her two brothers as well?"
"Although I don't want to say it, if you want to become emperor in the most reasonable way, marrying a princess is the simplest method."
She would rather earnestly help Viktor consider usurping the throne than call him truly insane—that's Lia.
She wouldn't even ask Viktor's reasons; Viktor was all she cared about.
"No need for that. I'm just letting you know in advance so you can be mentally prepared."
Lia opened her mouth, looked at Victor's rational appearance, and then seemed to understand something, calmly nodding.
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic."
Viktor simply stated:
"Erica, you should still remember me, right?"
"Don't tell me you know nothing."
Leah was slightly startled, and just as she was about to make a rebuttal, she had to swallow back the words that almost came out of her mouth.
He could only look away, purse his lips, and say with a hint of stubbornness:
"I'm just telling the truth... It's your fault for always confessing your feelings to her."
“We were also wondering about that, because the Duke of Reeves really didn’t have any daughters.”
Victor took a deep breath.
He knew, of course, that the Duke of Riviera in this life had lost his daughter.
Since the goddess of nature is Erika, and this goddess of nature is still alive, it is impossible for her to take on Erika's form.
In fact, Victor could have found out whether the Duke of Reeves had a daughter simply by doing some preliminary investigation.
Viktor was just too confident, or rather, too used to it.
He habitually does the corresponding things when that time period arrives.
The numb cycle of reincarnation made him think that this life would be the same, and that Rivi would hold a birthday party for his daughter Erica when she turned seventeen.
This made him completely forget about investigating information from the outside world.
"It is said that the Duke of Reeves' wife died in childbirth, and in the end, neither the child nor the wife survived."
"And Duke Reeves has not found a new wife to this day, and thus he remains alone until the end."
Then Lia raised an eyebrow and rolled her eyes at Viktor.
"And then you hit me."
Oh, how pitiful.
Indeed, unable to accept Erica's disappearance, Victor went to Duke Reeves' mansion, caused a scene, and even demanded to know where Reeves' daughter was.
At that time, Viktor was probably at his breaking point.
After all, whether Erica is a goddess of nature has always been the key to Victor's ability to persevere through the cycle of reincarnation.
Then, the next day.
When Vega appeared, Victor lost all of his original memories.
But then all of her memories returned.
"so."
Viktor looked at Lia, whose eyes were darting away, and sighed softly.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
Upon hearing this, Lia immediately became anxious.
Her eyes reddened slightly, and she quickly said:
"How can I tell you that it has always been your goal?"
"What if I tell you in advance, and you can't think straight and commit suicide beforehand?"
Victor frowned slightly, but seeing Lia's reaction, he couldn't bring himself to say anything too harsh.
He knew what Lia was worried about, but he still wanted to say it.
"You know I'm not that fragile..."
"But I don't want to gamble!"
Lia took a deep breath, looked intently at Viktor, and continued:
"It is precisely because I dare not gamble that I only dare to approach you cautiously and get close to you."
"Yes, we all regained our memories, and I even realized a long time ago how much I love you."
"But we are afraid, afraid of your alienation, afraid that you will leave us without a word."
"Because you have a more important goal, even knowing that we have regained our memories, you don't dare to linger on us."
"I'm afraid... I'm afraid this is my only chance."
"Maybe next time, I'll forget you again, and I'll start to hate you because of your distance... But I don't want that."
"Am I wrong?"
Her voice grew increasingly agitated.
Lia didn't want to cry, so she simply held back her emotions in her eyes.
"You know how long I've been waiting."
"Have I waited until today for you to confess everything to me like this?"
At this moment, Viktor could only remain silent.
The heaviness in his heart rendered him speechless.
Everything was taken for granted.
Frankly, that's easier said than done.
Can confessing this once make up for the mistakes made countless times in the past?
