The long-standing issue of the ownership of the Shulbon territory was finally temporarily resolved at the joint request of the Church of Abundance and the people of Shulbon.
Victor will become the lord of Shulburn, while Priscilla will change her surname to Clyvenna.
He became the only member of the Clevina family in the kingdom.
With such a surname, even though Priscilla is still a vampire, no one dares to discriminate against her anymore.
The nobles were eager to curry favor with Priscilla, having long forgotten what Laureen had done.
Anyway, they didn't die, and none of the people of Shulburn were hurt.
And Laureen is already dead.
As for Priscilla?
Don't talk nonsense, his last name is Clevina.
Those are vampires from the Clavner family, and they have no relation to Earl Laureen whatsoever.
It seems that under the surname 'Clavenna,' everything Priscilla can be forgiven.
At least that's how these nobles see it.
As for the cause of Laureen's death, there are too many aspects involved.
It even involves vampires, a race that exists in forbidden legends and draws blood.
Therefore, the Duke of Barlow issued a stern warning, forbidding anyone who knew the inside story from leaking it out.
Furthermore, the truth of this matter must not be revealed to the public.
Anyone who leaks this information will face unbearable consequences.
Therefore, the cause of Count Laureen's death was romanticized by the public.
In their eyes, Earl Laureen was willing to offer himself as a sacrifice in order to resurrect his beloved daughter.
In the end, his soul, along with his wife who had gone mad, ascended into the sky.
His sacrifice even moved the goddess of fertility.
The goddess of abundance bestowed her mercy and blessed all of Shulbon.
On that day, the fertile land transformed into golden waves of wheat, covering the entire city of Shulbon.
The people were deeply shocked by Lord Laureen's actions.
They became even more convinced of Count Laureen's greatness, even that he was a righteous man who could bring down the goddess of abundance.
The initial doubts and discussions vanished after the appearance of the Goddess of Abundance's light.
This only deepened people's respect for Laureen.
This act of sacrificing for their daughter and prioritizing family ties filled them with immense sorrow.
The people offered to fund the creation of a statue of Earl Laureen, to be erected forever in the center of Shulbourne.
The stonemasons in charge of the construction even voluntarily gave up their pay, simply because they admired Earl Laureen's actions.
Therefore, Laureen's daughter, Priscilla, received a great deal of care and help.
People spontaneously organized themselves to repair her destroyed mansion.
The mansion was supposedly destroyed because of the legendary mage from the empire—Victor.
To help Count Laureen fulfill his wish, he used magic to help Count Laureen complete the sacrifice.
But everyone knew very well the name of this legendary mage.
Rumor has it that he is passionate about explosive magic.
Wherever he was, there was almost no place he hadn't bombed.
I heard that this mage even blew up the royal city during his visit to the kingdom.
Therefore, it sounds quite reasonable for him to casually unleash a spell to destroy the mansion.
Then, this mage will take over from Earl Laureen to raise the resurrected Priscilla and temporarily assume the position of lord of Shulbon.
As expected of mages who love explosions, they agree!
...
At this moment, the territory of the Grand Duke of Barlow was perfectly bathed in the warm spring sunshine.
The pleasant chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers filled the air.
Large flowerbeds, like colorful blocks of paint, line both sides of the tree-lined avenue.
There is also a chair, a chair gently placed in the perfect corner of the flower bed.
Viktor remained seated in the chair, the warm sunlight dappling his shoulders.
Holding a profound book of magic in his hands, he was carefully flipping through it.
In his spare time, reading is the only thing that keeps him from getting bored.
Vega stood on the table next to him, dozing off.
The warm cup of tea beside it provided the perfect temperature.
Vanilla stood to the side, and every now and then, she would pick up the teapot on the table and pour Viktor a cup of sweet tea.
After a few idle moments, she would quietly stand next to Viktor.
Even if a butterfly lands on her, she won't make any extra movements.
Her tail would wag from time to time, which was one of her few sources of amusement.
Aurelion, meanwhile, was doing her morning exercises in the large courtyard.
Today, her sparring partner is that female tiger-man martial arts master.
The female tiger-woman cannot speak because she has never learned human language.
But as a martial arts instructor, she also has a lot to teach.
At this moment, the tiger-man stood steadily in place, with one hand behind his back and the other hand placed in front of him.
A cold glint flashed from Aurelion's waist as she moved nimbly toward the tiger-man who was half a head taller than her.
However, when faced with the barrage of swords, the female tiger-woman simply reversed her hand, easily deflecting Aurelion's thrusts.
Finally, he extended two fingers and easily pinched the tip of the sword between them.
The level difference between Aurelion and the Khajiit is still too great.
In particular, this is a tiger-man with the [Martial Arts] profession.
The [Martial Arts Master] profession is quite mysterious and rare.
Their profession is also the reason why Victor left the two tiger-men behind.
As for why Aurelion didn't go to train with Gwen.
Gwen has been so busy lately that she has no time for herself.
Early in the morning, she would lead a large number of knights and demi-human guards in training.
