Gwen froze, stunned, upon hearing Lia's question.
Her fiancé?
Wait a moment.
Gwen seemed to suddenly realize something, and a strange idea popped into her mind.
Who is she engaged to?
Who is it?
Countless memories flashed through Gwen's mind; she did indeed remember that she had a marriage agreement with the Clevner family.
Moreover, this was an engagement that had been arranged since she was a child.
Her fiancé was the head of the Clevina family.
But……
If we put it that way...
Does that mean her fiancé is...?
"Leah?"
"?"
Lydia, standing opposite the crystal, was stunned when she heard Gwen's questioning words.
Before she could continue speaking, Gwen closed her eyes, and even her words became somewhat stammering:
"How...how is this possible! This is absolutely impossible!"
Lia's voice gradually emanated from the crystal:
"Gwen, what are you saying?"
Gwen shook her head sharply, wiping the blush from her cheeks and clearing her mind of all those distracting thoughts.
"Nothing... Lia, what's wrong?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the crystal, then the questioning voice continued:
"I need to know some things from you now."
Lia's tone was unusually solemn.
Hearing this, Gwen couldn't help but become serious.
She straightened up and brought the crystal close to her ear.
Lia's voice rang out through the crystal.
"Excuse me for asking, Gwen."
"How did you become the head of the family?"
Gwen had some doubts again.
She had already told Liya about this.
Moreover, her father had only passed away about a month ago.
This was common knowledge among the nobility.
Although she had some doubts, she answered since it was Lia who asked.
“As you know, my brother killed my father, so I became the first in line to the throne.”
Kefla is not a knight and cannot inherit the position of head of the family.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been the youngest Gwen's turn.
The sound from the other end of the crystal continued to flow into Gwen's ears:
"Well then, I have a question."
"Why did you return to the North in the first place?"
Gwen had anticipated Leah's question, and she opened her mouth to begin her explanation:
"yes……"
She suddenly stopped thinking about this.
The reason is... what was it again?
She remembered that she returned to the Delin family, far away in the North, for a very important person.
Who is that person?
Is she the older sister?
wrong……
The more Gwen thought about it, the more her head throbbed.
She covered her head, and before she could say anything more, she heard Leah continue:
Do you remember who celebrated your birthday last time?
"My...birthday?"
Gwen turned to look at the red longsword beside her.
It lay quietly on the ground, shimmering with a soft red light in the darkness.
Not far from the bedroom stood a set of sturdy bone armor, its light flowing freely even in the darkness.
However, Gwen forgot where they came from.
"wrong……"
They clearly have a history.
Inside the crystal, Lia's voice interrupted her thoughts;
Do you know why you became the princess's teacher?
Gwen was suddenly stunned.
Leah's words amplified Gwen's doubts.
She stared blankly into the darkness ahead, at a loss for what to do.
She remembered that she was able to become the princess's swordsmanship teacher because she had resigned from her position as the captain of the Royal Knights.
Subsequently, Emperor Auberly invited her to become the princess's swordsmanship instructor.
But...why?
Why would the emperor specifically invite her to become the princess's teacher?
There must be many, many more people who could teach the princess swordsmanship.
For example, those sword masters are clearly a better choice than myself.
Gwen is a knight, and quite young.
She was no more than nine years older than the princess.
Gwen found it incredibly strange.
"One last question."
"What is the princess doing right now?"
Gwen was able to answer this question:
"The princess's swordsmanship lessons are held every two days, during which time she also studies magic."
"And recently, she has been preparing for the entrance exams at the Royal Magic Academy..."
Suddenly, Gwen looked up sharply, her eyes gleaming.
Why is the princess preparing for the Royal Magic Academy's entrance exam?
"Because...she has another teacher?"
"And I, I knew her teacher..."
Lia's undulating voice calmed down briefly.
From inside came her gentle voice, tinged with a hint of laughter.
"That's it, Gwen."
"Go and find him for me."
"Help me find that answer."
Gwen stood up.
All that remained in front of me was that blue crystal, still shimmering with light.
...
A white horse burst forth from the sky and galloped through the capital.
Step over the splashing puddles and cross the creaking stone path.
The whistling wind howled in the horses' ears like an encouraging melody, making them run even harder.
Soon, the white horse arrived outside the palace.
