Erica nodded in agreement as she listened to Viktor's words:
"That's what I think too."
The Raiser family has always supported the Crown Prince's lineage, as evidenced by their economic support and military achievements on the southern border.
In order to give the eldest prince an advantage in the struggle for the throne, the Leiser family made many efforts in the south.
As a result, their years of hard work were destroyed in an instant.
Because Aubrey no longer looked at battle merits, but began to personally appoint people.
This change plunged the Raiser family into anxiety.
But why is the Second Prince in such a hurry?
Even if Emperor Auberly is persuaded by other nobles and the Raiser family to postpone the appointment of an heir.
Therefore, the future heir will only be chosen between the eldest prince and the princess.
After all, the Raiser family only came to persuade Aubrey for the sake of the eldest prince.
It's not for your sake, Second Prince.
In the end, the second prince will lose any chance to compete.
"So, do you think the Second Prince is willing to give up the throne to the First Prince?"
"I asked," Victor asked.
Erica shook her head; she wasn't stupid.
Brotherly love and respect can happen in any family, but it is absolutely impossible in the royal family.
Within the royal family, the struggle between brothers never involves humility; every step is taken on honor and life.
"So, does the Second Prince have any other plans?"
She couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
She slowly looked up and saw Professor Victor sitting calmly in his chair, seemingly without any worry.
So Erica couldn't help but ask:
"Professor, aren't you worried at all after hearing this news?"
Ever since she heard about the Leather family from her father, she had felt a sense of unease.
Although the Du Chloe family never explicitly supported any of the princes.
But she knew that Professor Victor and the Clyvenner family were more inclined to support Princess Aurelian.
It could only be a princess.
This can be seen from the emperor's attitude toward the Clevina family.
Since Victor became the princess's tutor, the emperor's attitude towards him, and indeed the entire Clevina family, has become exceptionally kind.
Erica's father even told her.
If Victor hadn't been the princess's tutor, the emperor might not have announced his decision on the succession to the throne on her birthday.
All of this stemmed from the emperor's trust in Victor.
Erica was also curious about this.
Why did the emperor trust Professor Victor so much?
However, her father simply told her:
"Because Victor's last name is 'Clavina'."
It wasn't because Victor was powerful or had enough prestige, nor because of the current influence of the Clavner family.
Simply because his last name is Clevina.
The emperor trusted Clementine.
Erica seemed to understand, but not quite.
At that moment, Viktor's answer rang in her ears:
"The outcome is already decided, and no matter who tries to stop it, it will be in vain."
Viktor's words gradually brought Erica back to her senses.
Does this mean that Emperor Auberly has decided to pass the throne of the Karencia Empire to Aurelion?
But doesn't the Second Prince have a backup plan?
Erica was eager to know more from Victor.
But Viktor didn't elaborate; he simply looked at her calmly and said indifferently:
"Of course, some friction and minor incidents during the process are unavoidable."
"How about this?"
Viktor leaned forward slightly.
At the same time, a crow on the table flew to his shoulder, shaking its feathers and pecking at its own wings.
His gaze was sharp and deep as he asked Erica:
"When will the head of the Leiser family return?"
Erica gripped her water glass tighter and replied:
"tomorrow."
Victor nodded.
The head of the Reiser family wields immense influence; in Duke Reeves' eyes, he might even sway Aubrey's choices.
Thinking of this, Viktor narrowed his eyes.
In the game's storyline, the head of the Raiser family doesn't have much of a story.
It only briefly mentioned the ultimate fate of the Raiser family.
Aurelion wiped out the Raiser family.
Therefore, the storyline between the head of the Leiser family and the emperor, which is comparable to a 'royal secret', has not been experienced by players.
After all, players can't just enter the palace at will.
And now...
Victor glanced at Saphiros, who stood silently behind him.
In the game, Sephiroth's backstory is that she is merely the ultimate weapon of humanity, researched and created by the Raiser family.
However, the story does not mention who specifically conducted this research.
With the return of the Raiser family head to the capital, we might be able to find out the truth.
At that moment, Erica noticed that Victor's gaze had turned behind him.
Her gaze then fell upon Saphiros's enigmatic robes. She pursed her lips slightly and finally couldn't help but ask:
"That...professor, who exactly is she...?"
Victor turned his head, looked calmly at Erica, and responded indifferently:
"She is Henney's teaching assistant."
"Ah, I see."
Hearing this, Erica seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the tension in her heart gradually dissipated.
So, she was just Henney's teaching assistant.
Indeed, Henney is extremely busy right now.
Not only does she have classes every day, but she also frequently uses her free time to schedule classes.
Sometimes, Erica even wanted to chat with Hennie, but she couldn't find an opportunity.
