News of the standoff between the two families spread throughout the entire capital.
Many people find this incident very difficult to understand.
What exactly happened to make the atmosphere between the two families so tense?
They looked like they were about to start a fight.
The most surprising thing is...
This time, it seems even the emperor doesn't know whose side he should stand on.
Who is right and who is wrong?
Lady Kasanna stood at the entrance of the mansion, watching the family's specially made carriage approach her, and remained silent.
The carriages of the Raiser family are imbued with special magical power.
Even traveling a thousand miles a day is not a problem.
She was surrounded by numerous guards, forming a grand formation that resembled a small army, exuding an imposing aura.
She was going to return to her family home, where she would have a final negotiation with Victor.
As Lady Kasanna prepared to enter the carriage, her female guard seemed to sense something.
"Please wait a moment, madam."
She turned her head coldly and glanced at Elsa.
The female guard lowered her head and said:
There is someone who wants to see you.
"..."
Surrounded by the guards, a path slowly opened up.
Aurelian, dressed in a magnificent gown adorned with jewels, approached Lady Kasanna with a warm and friendly smile.
She was also accompanied by guards, but compared to Kasanna, they appeared quite frail.
Because she only brought one person with her.
Moreover, she didn't seem to want to bring even this one guard with her.
Aurelion turned around and said to the guards behind her:
"Celia, you can go back now."
Celia, standing nearby, said hesitantly:
"But, Your Highness..."
"Is any place safer than being by my aunt's side?"
Celia gripped the hilt of her sword, looking at the group of guards around her, her heart filled with conflict.
After a short while, she nodded in agreement.
"I understand, Your Highness."
After Celia slowly left, Cassandra turned around and looked at Aurelion with an air of nobility.
"Aunt Cassandra, it's been a long time."
Kasanna looked at Aurelian, her lips barely moving, her expression utterly unmoved.
"Aurelian, huh?"
"It must have been several years since we last saw each other."
Kasanna remembers that the last time she saw the child, she was probably not even ten years old.
In the blink of an eye, they've grown so big.
"You're not here to catch up with old friends at this time, are you?"
Aurelion smiled, exuding an aura of confidence, and looked directly into Lady Kasanna's eyes.
"Of course not."
Kasanna looked calmly at Aurelian, her hands placed in front of her skirt, and stared back into her eyes.
Compared to her former self, the Aurelian before me...
He no longer seems as timid as before.
Aurelion said in a calm tone:
“Aunt Cassandra, I’ve come to persuade you.”
"Don't be an enemy of your teacher."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding soldiers' eyes turned cold, and the weapons in their hands all cracked slightly.
Kasanna also raised her head and gave Aurelion a cold, arrogant look.
Why do you say that?
"Don't forget, you are a member of the royal family."
Aurelion sighed and said:
"You can't imagine how powerful a teacher is."
"In short, please heed my advice."
Aurelion's expression was extremely serious:
"Try to negotiate as much as possible and agree to the teacher's requests whenever possible."
"A military standoff will only hasten the demise of the Leiser family."
Kasanna seemed to want to say something more, but before she could speak, Aurelion beat her to it.
"Think of the North, think of those tens of thousands of barbarians."
"Think about the final situation of the Delin family."
Kasanna narrowed her eyes and said calmly:
"Is this your father's idea, or yours?"
Aurelion shook her head and chuckled softly, as if in resignation.
"Actually, I would prefer to stand on the teacher's side, but you are my family."
"I'm just here to remind you that if you still want to fight the teacher, then..."
"Please allow me to travel south with you."
Hearing her request, Kasanna squinted, crossed her arms, and finally adopted a serious expression.
"That old emperor... he really knows how to be generous."
"I believe the teacher wouldn't hurt me, and..."
As she said this, Aurelion's face showed a gentle smile.
“Aunt Cassandra, my father always told me that.”
"We are family."
"..."
Kasanna was silent for a moment, then said something as if she were giving in.
"If he's willing to give Jess back to me..."
The final low murmur was perhaps Kasanna muttering something to herself.
Or perhaps, it's just silence.
She turned away, no longer facing Aurelion.
But then a slightly gentler voice softly sounded:
"Get in the car, Aurelian... no, wait."
"My niece."
...
"Why do you have to provoke Lady Kasanna?"
In the study, Lia couldn't help but ask Victor a question.
When Viktor returned, he was all alone.
If Victor hadn't told her that Jess had been kidnapped, Leah wouldn't have known that her brother had secretly done something so serious.
