She learned the other person's name during the adults' conversation.
'Gwen Delin'.
Lia had a feeling that they would become very good friends.
That's completely wrong...
Ten years old.
The Delin family and the Clavner family were betrothed, with Victor Clavner marrying Gwen Delin.
The fifteen-year-old boy already resembled an elegant young gentleman.
He accepted his family's arrangement.
Sizzle—
A hum of electricity seemed to ring in my ears, but it vanished in an instant.
Lia didn't take it seriously.
Fourteen years old.
That year, Lia had already begun to take over the family business.
Her father said that she should assist her brother as much as possible.
Meanwhile, because her older brother already has a fiancée, therefore...
Lia can no longer act as unrestrainedly as she used to when she wanted to be affectionate with boys.
After taking over the family business, Lia began to mature.
However, she did not forget to assist her brother.
Just as he said.
"I definitely will."
...
Fifteen years old.
My father is dead.
His title was passed on to Victor Clement.
At the age of twenty, he became the youngest viscount in the empire.
His genius is well-known; he is a third-tier mage at the young age of twenty.
Therefore, even after his father's death, the influence of the Clevner family remained undiminished.
More people came to visit, all wanting to befriend this youngest viscount.
The kind Victor greeted them one by one.
That night, he was alone, dragging his tired body.
Sitting in the pavilion under the moon, I am filled with sorrow.
Lia watched his retreating figure.
As if sensing something, the man turned around.
Using his left hand, he beckoned to her:
"Come here, Lia."
Her body moved involuntarily, and she stepped forward.
The man reached out his left hand and pulled her into his arms.
Just like when we were little, I hugged her tightly.
But she could sense the man's exhaustion.
His chin rested on Lia's shoulder, and he looked somewhat weak.
"Lia, I'm so tired."
"My father has passed away, and I... only have you to rely on now."
Will her brother also depend on her?
It definitely will.
Lia reached out and hugged the man's broad, muscular back.
Is that not right...?
Twenty years old.
Gwen Delin became the youngest Royal Knight Commander in the Empire, and many people were proud of her.
That day, at a celebratory family dinner.
Viktor proposed to her.
In a daze, Lia found herself in the church.
She stood on a green lawn, with a clear blue sky overhead and white clouds drifting by.
The surrounding area was filled with smiling guests, and the white chairs beneath them...
The priest's pulpit is also pure white.
White doves and crows flew together in the sky at the same time, and countless guests waited expectantly for the wedding to begin.
Lia stood below the stage, gazing at the scene before her.
Gwen wore a pure white wedding dress and exquisite makeup, looking as beautiful as a goddess in a painting, elegant and noble.
Viktor, dressed in a black suit, stood a short distance away and gentlemanly extended his left hand to Gwen.
Gwen took Victor's arm with her right hand, and the two walked side by side into the wedding hall.
Surrounded by countless flowers, the scene was filled with the cheers and laughter of the noble guests and thunderous applause.
Lia watched helplessly as the two walked towards the altar.
The priest stood on the pulpit, holding a thick law book in his hand, looked at Gwen on his left, and asked:
"Miss Gwen, are you willing to spend your life with Victor Clavner, whether in poverty or wealth?"
Gwen smiled, looked at the man in front of her, and nodded.
"Yes."
No, no...
The priest then turned to look at Victor:
"Would you protect Gwen Delin for her entire life?"
Victor raised his head and looked at Gwen with his bright, obsidian-like eyes.
"Yes."
wrong!
"I definitely will."
"wrong!!!"
Lia could no longer bear it and screamed.
However, no one around her paid any attention to her.
The nobles remained unmoved, continuing to offer their heartfelt congratulations and laughter to the newlyweds on the stage.
Lia stared wide-eyed as Victor and Gwen exchanged wedding rings.
"That's not right at all."
"Isn't this exactly what you've been waiting for, Leah Clavner?"
A deep voice echoed nearby.
It was a voice that only Lia could hear.
The surrounding scene was still unfolding clearly.
But at that moment, Lia understood something.
The moment Gwen put on the wedding ring, Leah lowered her head.
"Everything I've been waiting for? Ha."
She simply raised her right hand.
Six shimmering gems were subtly visible on her gloves.
The next second, all six fluorescent gems began to shimmer simultaneously.
The six-fold array flashed on Lia's gloves and began to rotate, with intricate patterns intertwining around it.
Terrifying magical power poured out from the six arrays simultaneously, the magical power chaotically forming a dazzling white light that gathered in front of her.
The powerful shockwave instantly engulfed the surrounding area, and the massive impact cracked the earth.
The surroundings fell into a deathly silence, and even the sounds were gradually blurred and torn apart.
The scorching white light seemed poised to destroy the entire world.
Like a torn scroll, it continues to burn, revealing glimpses of ethereal blackness.
Looking at the wedding hall burning brightly ahead, Lia raised her head.
A cold, indifferent voice rang out from her lips.
"What makes you think that way?"
