Gwen and Lia sat in the room, looking at each other in silence.
Gwen remained expressionless, staring blankly at Leah without a trace of emotion in her eyes.
Lia, however, kept glancing at Gwen.
Her gaze was also fixed on Gwen, but this time it held a scrutinizing quality.
After all... how could Gwen possibly sleep in the same room as Viktor?
Such an absurd request, let alone Victor... at least Leah would never agree to it!
However, Gwen's current state left Leah somewhat uncertain.
Anyone familiar with Gwen can tell from her.
This is something that's obvious to almost anyone with eyes to see.
The Gwen of the past, though quiet, was definitely not like she is now.
She is now like a block of extremely cold ice.
Forget about warming her up, I'm afraid that if I stay with her for even a short while, I might freeze to death.
At this moment, Gwen sat blankly on the bed, having already shifted her gaze away from Leah.
Her eyes were fixed on the crack in the door below, her hands resting on her pale thighs, her body taut.
She had long since removed her armor and put on a light and airy outfit, looking quite beautiful.
However, her expression was cold and aloof, almost surpassing Viktor's expressionless face.
It always gives people a sense of discomfort and incongruity.
When exactly did Gwen begin to change in this way?
She still remembers.
Back then, almost everyone lost their memory of Viktor because of that mirror.
Once her memories returned, Gwen immediately traveled from the capital to Braxton overnight.
She worked tirelessly, from night to day, just to see Viktor as soon as possible.
However... what exactly happened in the middle?
All Lia knew was that Gwen had fallen into a coma.
She naively thought that Gwen was just too tired from traveling all night.
But she remained unconscious for more than a day.
After Gwen woke up, Lia was still a little worried and planned to go and visit her.
But she simply couldn't find the time.
Viktor hadn't returned, which meant she had to take on more household responsibilities.
Lia remained silent for a moment, then took a deep breath, her gaze fixed solemnly on Gwen, who sat upright on the bed, and slowly spoke:
“Gwen, you…”
Hearing Lia's voice, Gwen slowly raised her head, her gaze returning to Lia's eyes, which held a hint of worry.
But she remained as calm as ice, without any ripples.
The more Leah looked at Gwen like this, the more distressed she felt.
The words that were about to come out were swallowed back down.
Seeing Gwen in this state made her, as her friend, feel a little heartbroken.
At this moment, Gwen finally spoke.
She stared blankly at Lia and said to her in a mechanical tone:
"Leah."
"you say."
Lia looked at Gwen very seriously.
It's a good thing that they're willing to speak up.
So she was willing to listen to anything Gwen had to say.
Gwen looked at Leah, blinked innocently, and said:
"When can I go see Viktor?"
"..."
Lia was immediately speechless, suppressing her anger, and said in a low, warning voice:
"You're sleeping in my room today, and you're not allowed to move anywhere!"
"oh."
Gwen nodded obediently, her body still stiff.
At least, she can be quite obedient in front of Lia.
...
Viktor sat in the study, leaning back in his chair.
A letter lay quietly on the table in front of him.
The envelope had already been opened by Victor, and inside was a blank sheet of paper without any content.
He glanced at it only once before placing the blank letter on the table.
Then, a surge of powerful magic began to emerge from the blank letter.
Heim Horn's elusive figure appeared before him.
Just like before, it has no face, only a figure that can be identified at a glance as resembling a mage.
It had barely appeared when a voice came from the letter.
"Congressman Clavner, Congressman Azure has already informed us of your request."
Rachel took Victor's request seriously, so after Victor left, he used the Natural Sparrow to send a message to the council.
Upon receiving this message, Heim Horn chose to send a letter to Viktor to initiate a face-to-face conversation.
For the council, although the staff that Victor wanted to make had extremely demanding requirements.
However, considering Viktor's contributions to the entire Mage Council and his own powerful personal abilities, the Council is fully capable of fulfilling Viktor's requests.
The astonishing calamity war in the waters of Padarunbu caused such a huge impact that mages from all over the world began to consider joining the Mage Council.
As a result, the parliament has seen a surge in membership applications these days.
They came because of its reputation.
Whose reputation are they admiring?
That was Viktor himself, of course.
Many combat-oriented mages learned for the first time from Victor that they, as mages, could fight in this way.
It perfectly blends the magic of violence with an elegant demeanor.
In the eyes of those mages, Viktor in that terrifying battle was like a dancer teetering on the edge of a knife, a bard still singing as the world collapsed.
