After that, he also instructed himself to speak with Lady Kasanna, who had arrived.
If it's just a simple negotiation, Lia can use a lot of different talking points.
A better result is definitely possible.
However, Viktor's requirement for himself was:
'Angering Kasanna.'
Lia couldn't understand.
Given the Clavner family's resources, waging war against the Raiser family would not be a very wise move.
Besides, we're all citizens of the Empire.
Even if they could win, the emperor would never allow internal strife to occur.
“Anger can make people lose their minds, and as a mother, her anger will only make her more insane.”
"Of course, I don't intend to start any war."
Victor, carrying a thick magic book, read as he spoke to Leah.
A crow stood on the desk, dozing off.
Do you know anything about Cassanna?
Viktor's voice rang out softly.
Lia was taken aback by his words, but then sighed.
He put one hand on his hip and helplessly spread his hands.
"Isn't that obvious? Who in the Empire doesn't know the deeds of the [War Saintess]?"
The most famous battle fought by the War Maiden was the Battle of Tmersinev.
At that time, the powerful Kingdom of Kant, with its extremely elite army, disrupted the borders between the empire and the kingdom.
That place is called "Temersinev".
The kingdom at that time possessed many powerful Tier 3 warriors.
Furthermore, thanks to the kingdom's unique alchemy, the armor worn by those warriors far surpassed that of the empire.
For the imperial army at that time, it would have been a foolish thing to engage in a direct confrontation with the kingdom.
Until Kasanna appeared.
The moment the [War Saintess] activated her power, the Empire's powerful knights received an astonishing buff.
They gained immense power, and their morale soared.
No matter how thick the armor of the kingdom's warriors is, they can only be easily crushed in the face of absolute physical strength.
The war was completely reversed because of Kasanna's appearance.
After that, Kasanna earned a title that belonged only to her.
War Maiden
In every battle she participated in, there was never a defeat between empires.
"The bloodline of the Sol family makes each princess unique."
This is a bloodline blessed by the gods.
"Kasanna is like that, and so is Aurelion."
"But unfortunately, Kasanna wasn't as lucky as Aurelion; she didn't have a particularly good father."
Kasanna married the wrong person, solely to secure the Leather family's continued benefits and support.
After the death of the previous emperor, the invincible Oberyl was no longer needed.
The future Aurelion will have even less need for the family's support.
However, the Raiser family was so large and powerful that its roots had firmly established itself in the southern part of the empire.
And this colossal beast equipped with an engine is supporting Albany.
That eldest prince.
Lia stared blankly at Victor.
"You want... to start a war?"
"Not necessarily, but I need to keep the Raiser family quiet."
Viktor closed the book and stood up.
Her loungewear, along with the flames, automatically transformed into a black trench coat.
The window was opened, letting in a strong gust of wind that made his trench coat flap loudly.
The sky outside was pitch black, and thick, dark clouds completely obscured the light.
Like a silent night.
Viktor looked up at the dark sky.
Has Vanilla arrived?
“After Helnason returned to her family home, she came over via the teleportation array you left behind.”
Hearing Lia's words, Victor nodded in satisfaction.
"Tell Hene to look after her for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a white rune began to slowly flash on Viktor's trench coat.
The hurricane gradually gathered and surged up from beneath my feet.
The papers in the room were blown around wildly and flew around erratically.
Victor put his hands in his pockets, and it seemed as if a transparent staircase appeared in the air.
He stepped onto the stairs and walked towards the window.
The crow seemed to notice something, and quickly woke up, flapping its wings and flying towards Viktor's shoulder, where it landed steadily.
Victor continued walking in the air, the storm beneath his feet gradually intensifying and gathering into a white vortex.
Finally, a large bird emerged from the whirlpool and held Viktor firmly on its back.
Ignoring the messy study, Liya hurriedly chased after him and peered out the window.
The storm tousled her hair, and she reached out a hand to brush it back so she could see Victor clearly.
She watched Victor's figure standing against the wind and shouted from the window:
"elder brother!"
Why do you insist on doing this?
Victor slowly turned around, glanced at Lia, and opened his mouth.
Instantly, a strong wind rose up.
"唳——"
The enormous white bird let out a violent shriek under the dark sky, carrying Victor as it flew rapidly forward.
Like a white gust of wind, it instantly traversed thousands of miles, flashing countless white lights in the low, dark sky, constantly weaving through the clouds.
Lia stood there, stunned, staring out the window.
A feeling of unease welled up in her chest, and she didn't know why it was coming from.
Perhaps it was because the words he uttered as he left clearly reached her ears.
"because--"
"I'm your brother."
