Gwen Delin.
Upon hearing the knight's name, everyone gasped in shock.
They looked at each other, and began to discuss amongst themselves.
"Hey, she said her last name is Delin."
"Hiss, Angus's daughter? He actually has such a beautiful daughter?"
"You guys need to be careful, she's Viktor's fiancée... the one on the wanted poster."
"Holy crap, that ruthless person..."
Vladimir was also somewhat surprised. He looked at Gwen and asked in confusion.
"You're Viktor's fiancée?"
"That's interesting. You're not here to arrest him and take him back to confess, are you?"
Gwen's name was not as widely known as Victor's; within the Northern Frontier, only the Northern Knights knew her name.
Vladimir naturally had no recollection of it.
Gwen's face showed no extra expression, as if she were simply repeating something.
"I already know what happened."
Before coming here, Gwen went home.
Her second brother remains in a coma and paralyzed, and although her father appears to be fine, his eyes are vacant and he has not regained his senses.
Gwen was somewhat surprised when she saw the state of the two.
Because she discovered that she was calmer than she had imagined.
The two people in front of her were clearly her relatives.
However, her emotions were neither sad nor happy.
Maybe I'm just too cold-blooded.
But she also knew that she hadn't returned for these two family members who were only in name.
Kefla told herself that her father had struck first, and that Jash had been crippled for threatening Victor.
Now, with Victor nowhere to be found, Kefla's few words alone are not enough to persuade the knights of the North.
Naturally, this also cannot prove Viktor's innocence.
The warrant is still circulating in the North, so Gwen needs to find him.
If it is true that Viktor intentionally harmed Angus, then Gwen will have a fair and just duel with him.
Of course, Gwen was more inclined to believe that Victor was innocent.
She wanted to believe her sister, and she also wanted to try to believe Viktor.
"I just want to find Viktor, but I can't cross the far north by myself."
"So, you came to our Pale Magic Guild?"
At some point, Vladimir started smoking a cigar.
Whenever he wanted to think about something, he would always light up a cigarette.
But he didn't light it yet; he just looked at Gwen and spoke in a serious tone.
“I think I know pretty much, but…”
He glanced back at Erica behind him, then turned back to stare at Gwen.
"How can you prove that you are Victor's fiancée? Or... that something like this has already happened between your two families?"
"Do you really believe that the marriage agreement between your two families is still valid?"
Gwen opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Erica behind her lifted her hood and stepped forward.
"She is indeed Viktor's fiancée, Uncle Vladimir."
"Um?"
Vladimir glanced at Erica with some displeasure, but when she casually cast a fire spell to light the cigar in his mouth, he couldn't help but smile.
"Long time no see, Commander Gwen."
Erica bowed to Gwen, who was clad in silver armor, and smiled gracefully at her.
Gwen couldn't help but look at the petite Erica, a look of surprise appearing on her face for the first time.
"Miss Erica?"
Seeing this, Vladimir scratched his head in annoyance.
"Tsk, I didn't expect you two to know each other. Okay, but my question is still the same."
“Victor has killed too many barbarians for us, and your identity is not exactly good.”
"To be honest, my buddies and I only held back our emotions because you're Viktor's fiancée."
"As for your Northern Knights, hmph, a bunch of useless bastards who occupy positions without doing their job."
Gwen's expression didn't change much, but her tone became more resolute than before.
“If Viktor is found innocent, I will personally arrest my father and Jash Delin and inherit my father’s position as head of the family.”
"I swear in the name of knighthood that I will vouch for my words and deeds."
As her words slowly faded, the disdain on the faces of the members of the Pale Magic Guild vanished, replaced by a deep sense of respect.
The Pale Mage Society had dealt with these Northern Knights for over a decade, so they naturally knew what kind of people those hypocritical fellows were.
Although they do nothing, these self-proclaimed knights of justice value their reputation above all else.
A knight never makes an oath lightly.
Once the oath was made, they failed to keep their word.
Then the forces supporting them will gradually dissipate.
Even if they call themselves knights, they no longer possess the power of knights.
Vladimir nodded.
The girl in front of me certainly had a very firm resolve.
As long as she inherits the position of family head, her engagement with Victor will naturally continue.
There was naturally no question of breaking off the engagement.
Therefore, until Viktor explicitly states that their engagement is null and void, she remains Viktor's fiancée.
"well."
Vladimir sighed helplessly.
He wanted to pave the way for his friend's daughter, but unfortunately, she herself was not ambitious enough.
Vladimir re-examined Gwen with a different perspective, exhaling a puff of smoke that was hard to tell whether it was tobacco or frost from the low temperature.
