"Don't worry, I have Hene with me."
Thinking of Gwen's condition, Leah spoke again, offering further advice:
"Remember to bring Gwen back as soon as possible; you know her current situation."
"I'm not entirely at ease."
Seeing that Viktor didn't react, she knew that Viktor didn't need to worry.
So he nodded to Victor and walked toward the carriage.
Hene, however, remained motionless, standing beside Victor, seemingly somewhat awkward.
Even after Leah had walked a distance, she didn't turn back, but simply called out:
"Henry, hurry up!"
"Okay!"
Hene responded with a comment, not turning around to look at Leah.
Then, she adjusted her position and stood in front of Viktor.
Seemingly giving Viktor no chance to react, she boldly pounced on him.
She wrapped her arms tightly around Viktor, as if trying to make her body completely fit with his.
She buried her head in Viktor's chest, her warm breath rising and falling, greedily inhaling Viktor's scent.
As if her desires had been completely satisfied, Hennie tilted her head back and narrowed her eyes slightly.
She looked at Viktor with a teasing smile, like a pink moon hanging on Henney's lips.
Hene continued to hold Victor tightly with both arms, her hands roaming over his back.
"Have I been waiting for you at home?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Hennie released Victor.
She took a few steps back, her body tilting slightly, her hair falling down with gravity.
Her gentle smile was like a spring breeze, making even the darkest night seem brighter.
"Professor, come back soon."
After saying that, she ignored Victor's reaction and ran towards Lia.
Until the two boarded the carriage and leisurely drove away, like a blurry dot of light gradually disappearing into the night.
Viktor remained expressionless, glancing down at the marks left on his chest.
That warmth still seems to linger in my chest.
Vega flapped its black wings, stretched out its beak, and tidied its messy black feathers as it walked.
It lowered one eye, looked at Victor, clicked its tongue twice, and continued:
"Even if I gave you a chance, you wouldn't be able to use it."
"You don't even dare to reach out and hug me back?"
However, the thought of standing on Viktor's head and seeing that perfect view came to mind.
It has to be said that the effect is more pronounced when viewed from above.
Vega thought about his small size; if he were squeezed inside, he would probably suffocate.
Viktor's expression remained as calm and undisturbed as a still lake atop a snow-capped peak.
Hene has indeed become increasingly daring lately.
Even in the palace, with Lia nearby, she dared to take the initiative to hug him.
It's hard to imagine that she was once such an insecure girl.
What exactly happened to her that turned her into this?
Even so, he certainly wouldn't be indifferent to Vega's taunts.
He still retorted with a comment to Vega.
"Envious?"
“I can also prepare a body for you like Henny.”
Vega's hoarse laughter suddenly stopped.
Arguing with Viktor is definitely not a good choice.
He would always find a way to silence it.
At this moment, Victor put away his staff.
The heavy staff with the golden bird's head turned into starlight fragments in Victor's hand and disappeared.
He put his hands back in his pockets and said calmly to the black raven on his shoulder:
"Let's go, it's time to bring Gwen back."
Victor turned around and walked toward the deserted banquet hall.
There were only a handful of people in the magnificent banquet hall.
Three members of parliament, and the Duke of Riviera.
After the banquet ended, Erica had already said goodbye to Victor and left early.
She seemed to share Victor's dislike of the banquet atmosphere.
But because of her status, Erica had no choice but to come.
Reeve and three councilors sat together, chatting idly.
After all, it's already late at night.
After announcing the most important matter, Emperor Aubrey returned to his palace to sleep early.
However, he specifically allowed everyone to remain in the banquet hall to continue their entertainment.
But those noble gentlemen could no longer enjoy themselves.
The cult members were suppressed in just over ten minutes.
They all made excuses and quickly left.
Only a few people remain at the banquet.
However, Aubrey was in a good mood today.
He finally put an end to one of his worries.
Let Aurelion be the heir to the empire.
But this matter absolutely cannot be handled hastily.
He needed a suitable reason, a reason that the nobles couldn't find fault with, a reason that would convince them of Aurelion's worth.
So Victor gave him this reason.
In my capacity as Teacher Aurelion, I strongly support Aurelion.
When Victor returned to the banquet hall, he saw Gwen still standing by the golden platform, on guard.
She was very obedient; even after everyone had left, she remained standing there, without moving.
Because this was Viktor's order.
Gwen always remembered what Victor told her.
For this banquet, all she needed to do was lead the princess into the hall, stand where she was supposed to stand, and let everyone see her.
So she stood there, like an ice sculpture formed by wind and snow.
A noble knight, like a work of art.
He was about to call Gwen over when Aurelion was already beside him.
After sending her father back, Aurelion returned.
All so that I could see Viktor again.
Bathed in the flickering candlelight, her figure seemed almost blurred.
Just like her heart, she was filled with unease, like the churning waves of the sea.
"Teacher...
Standing next to Viktor, she even seemed a little nervous when she spoke.
Just like the first time I was trained by the teacher.
The first time is always very nerve-wracking.
