Erica felt somewhat uncomfortable with the question from the purple-haired woman in front of her.
She didn't know who the other person was; this person exuded a mysterious aura.
Instinctively, Erica didn't want to answer.
Besides, she couldn't let her father know where she was!
Seeing that Erica was avoiding Kevlar's gaze, Duke Reeves became stern and questioned her:
"Erica, did you go to the academy today?"
Hearing that her father had already guessed, she dared not lie, and her voice was so soft that it was barely audible, like a mosquito buzzing.
"yes……"
"But I didn't go into the academy. I ran into an acquaintance on the way, so we chatted for a while and then came back."
Duke Reeves' expression softened slightly when he heard that she hadn't mentioned Victor's name.
Seeing this, Erica lowered her head and muttered a complaint under her breath:
"He's a duke, a grown man, yet he's so stingy."
“If it weren’t for someone helping you out, you wouldn’t be the Duke now.”
Upon hearing Erica's words, Duke Reeves's expression stiffened, and he coughed lightly, pretending not to hear.
To be honest, Duke Reeves was also a little embarrassed. Regardless of Victor's purpose, the other party had indeed helped him in the palace.
However, Victor's last words really displeased Duke Reeves.
They said they had no choice but to do something to Erica.
What does he want to do? Huh?
As a father, his vigilance suddenly kicked in, and Duke Reeves absolutely would not allow Victor to do anything out of line with his daughter.
Kevlar covered her mouth and chuckled softly, saying:
"I also heard about what happened in the palace from my sister."
"However, the Duke is still in this position after all. It would be inappropriate for him to accept favors from others and take them for granted."
Viktor, regardless of his character, is her sister's fiancé, so he's family.
Kevlar, of course, had to lend a hand.
The Duke was now caught in the middle of the two, and his face turned bright red, but fortunately, the darkness of night prevented anyone from seeing it.
He coughed lightly twice with his eyes closed, and casually said:
"I will find a way to repay Viktor."
Erica then looked up, smiling broadly, seemingly quite satisfied, and her goodwill towards Kevlar had also increased considerably.
But who exactly is this person?
Erica showed a curious expression, and Duke Reeves immediately noticed his daughter's doubts and began to explain:
"This is Kefla Delin, the eldest daughter of the Delin family."
"Delin?"
Erica's mind raced, and she immediately thought of the beautiful woman on the volcano.
She seems to also have the surname Delin.
"So, Miss Gwen, she..."
"She's my sister."
Kefla squinted and chuckled.
Erica stared, somewhat surprised.
In Erica's eyes, Gwen is a good person.
The Delin family is a knightly family, and knights have always been righteous.
So the purple-haired woman in front of me must be a good person too.
Although it seems somewhat mysterious.
Kefla looked at Erica, who seemed to have just realized something, and asked:
"Erica, can you tell me exactly where you went now?"
"And who was that acquaintance you ran into?"
Erica, without any reservations, told everyone everything that had happened that day.
Kefla learned that Erica went to the back mountain of the academy and met Victor's teaching assistant.
The rest is just as Erica had said before.
"Oh? Viktor's teaching assistant?"
Kefla thought for a moment, then smiled and patted Erica's head, like a gentle older sister.
"Thank you, Erica, but don't sneak off to the academy these next few days."
"Your Grace, you have a lovely daughter."
Kefla praised Erica and then left with a smile.
Her purple hair looked so alluring under the cover of the night sky as she gradually disappeared into the darkness, boarded a carriage, and left.
Erica was still a little confused.
Why did Gwen's sister ask her these questions?
Also, why not let her go to the academy?
She wanted to ask more questions, but when she turned around, she saw the Duke with a dark expression.
"Erica, go back and tell me, what were you doing sneaking off to the academy?"
Erica immediately wilted.
......
The next morning, a gloomy atmosphere permeated the Royal Magic Academy.
The sky was extremely gloomy, and the air felt heavy, making it hard to breathe.
Many people were somewhat frightened when they saw Viktor walk into the college.
Viktor became famous yesterday.
The fact that they dragged Devon Reiser, a living, breathing person, around almost the entire academy has gone viral among the noble circles.
Many nobles were very interested in the feud between Victor and the Raiser family.
Devon Reiser's disappearance enraged the Reiser family, who declared overnight that they would demand an explanation from Victor.
And then? That was it.
The Leiser family seemed to only dare to talk big, casually saying a few words to express their attitude.
As a result, Viktor swaggered into the college the next day.
Back at the mage tower, they dragged Professor Devon out.
They simply dumped the half-dead Devon Reiser on the academy's square, attracting a crowd of onlookers.
