Bright red bounty posters were plastered all over the streets and alleys of the entire North.
The portrait on the wanted poster is none other than Victor!
Many of the arrest warrants were even waved in the air, flying with the heavy snow.
Because the person Victor attacked was the great knight guarding the north, Count Angus.
Rumors have already spread among the public that Viktor beat Angus into a vegetative state, and that he hasn't recovered even after a day.
The Delin family heir was severely injured and is still in a coma, an incident that has caused a great uproar throughout the northern frontier.
From the wealthy and powerful in the northern frontier to ordinary people.
The news was quickly relayed to the capital by spies, and within half a day, it had spread throughout the entire capital.
The ministers naturally paid close attention, as this matter was indeed far too mysterious.
The fact that Victor and Count Angus fought wasn't the main point; the real issue lay in what happened after that battle.
Victor actually defeated Count Angus.
Of course, winning wouldn't be a problem either.
But he actually beat the person so badly that they lost their mind!
However, being mentally impaired can be considered a minor matter.
But Angus is Viktor's father-in-law!
This, this is fucking.....
When this news reached the royal family, Aubrey frowned slightly.
He had never encountered such a distressing situation in his decades in office.
Aubrey waved his hand at them and asked:
Does Gwen know about this?
"Knight Commander Gwen is on his way."
A minister quickly replied.
After these words, the entire court fell into a long silence.
Viktor did go a bit too far in this matter.
Generally speaking, nobles who already harbored resentment towards Viktor would naturally take this opportunity to criticize him and find fault with him.
But the problem is...
Victor is currently enjoying great popularity and is also favored by the emperor.
Little did the old emperor know that the Clevina family had caused trouble in the palace three times, and the old emperor had simply watched with a smile each time, never intervening.
He doesn't even protect his own son and nephew.
Moreover, the topic that Victor recently raised, called 'copy,' has even garnered the Emperor's full support and high expectations.
So even if Viktor was really in the wrong in this matter.
No one dared to go up and say anything bad about him.
Emperor Auberle's fingers, adorned with heavy ruby rings, tapped on the throne as he sighed deeply.
“Angus leads the Northern Knights and is responsible for guarding the north.”
"If he is truly insane, then his title can only be inherited by his heir."
At this point, the others fell silent again.
Heir?
Angus's successor is being crippled; are you sure he can still inherit Angus's position?
So who will ultimately inherit the Delin family business?
Angus has three children, among whom Kevlar is well-known.
As a politician, she was not a knight and certainly couldn't lead those knights from the North.
Who is the only person still qualified to inherit the Delin family business?
Everyone unanimously thought of one name.
Gwen Delin.
"..."
In an instant, the ministers' faces darkened considerably, they became even more silent, and even their breathing seemed to slow down.
They even wondered if the emperor had deliberately ordered Viktor to attack Angus.
Gwen is Victor's fiancée.
If Gwen inherits the Delin family, then Gwen will eventually marry Victor.
The two counts became one family.
"this……"
Viktor's power will become even stronger, and if one of the two princes were to obtain this foundation, it could directly lay the foundation for their future throne.
But the problem is...
Victor is the princess's teacher.
But there is an even more important question.
If Victor gains access to the knightly heritage of the Delin family and becomes powerful, can the future monarch truly suppress him?
What happened next was too much for them to think about; it would be disrespectful to the future monarch.
They could no longer ponder or try to figure out what was going on in the mind of this old, frail emperor.
"Your Majesty, Commander Gwen has arrived."
A eunuch hurriedly ran to the emperor's side and whispered his report.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gwen appeared, clad in silver armor, its cold light gleaming slightly.
Holding the knight's helmet in her left hand, she walked proudly into the hall, chest out and head held high.
"His Majesty."
All the ministers present focused their attention on Gwen, but they sensed a cold authority and awe emanating from her.
His face was extremely gloomy, and his eyes and brows seemed to be covered with the extreme frost of the northern frontier.
She stood before the emperor and gave a slight bow.
The emperor waved his hand dismissively and said indifferently:
"Gwen, you should know about what happened up north, right?"
Viktor's wanted poster spread throughout the north overnight, and countless knights were searching for his whereabouts.
She had already learned of this from Kevlar's reply.
Gwen did not respond, but it was clear to everyone that the knight already knew everything.
The emperor looked at her and continued to ask;
“You are Viktor’s fiancée. Logically speaking, this matter should be handled as a family affair, and I shouldn’t interfere.”
Then, Aubrey chuckled twice.
"However, after this incident, can you and Viktor really maintain this engagement?"
