Squeak—
The doorknob of the conference room was turned, and a crisp sound of the door opening rang out.
The doors to the main hall of the Clevner mansion slowly opened.
Lia and Leon, who were waiting outside the door, were leaning against the door, standing relaxed in place.
The sound of the door opening caught their attention, prompting them to turn around and look in the direction of the sound.
As the door slowly opened, Duke Reeves emerged from the shadows behind him.
His hands were placed naturally at his sides, and a gentle and satisfied smile was on his face.
Lia could tell at a glance that Duke Reeves was clearly satisfied with his conversation with Victor.
"It seems the Duke's conversation went very smoothly?"
With a faint smile and a hint of concern in her voice, Lia asked softly.
Hearing Lia's question, the Duke turned to look at her.
He didn't expect that when Liya said she would wait outside, she would actually wait outside for half a day.
This made Levi completely certain.
Can ten years really change a person's feelings to this extent?
Nevertheless, he nodded to Lia with elegance and politeness.
"After all, I successfully invited a mage of extraordinary skill to help me."
Since this has been said, it means that the Duke and Victor have reached an agreement.
Victor agreed to help Duke Reeves.
Although Lia didn't know whether Duke Reeves had set some kind of condition.
But it's also possible that he didn't offer any conditions at all, but simply shared some information about Henney.
Thinking about this always made Liya feel somewhat unhappy.
She shouldn't have these feelings.
After all, finding an old friend and returning is something to be happy about for anyone.
Moreover, she was aware of her relationship with Victor, after all, there was Gwen ahead of her.
Lia didn't want to put Victor in a difficult position because of this, and she wouldn't stop Victor from liking anyone.
But when it really comes down to it, it would be a lie to say I'm not jealous.
After all, no one wants to share the feelings of their loved one with others.
Although she already understood the source of her frustration, she still had to maintain her composure on the surface.
Lia tried her best to maintain an elegant posture, her smile both sincere and gentle.
"We also hope this matter can be resolved as soon as possible."
That statement was made from the heart.
If the residents of the capital are not at peace for even a day, they dare not go out.
Then their shops in the capital city would have no customers.
How can we make money then?
Especially now that Viktor is back, there are even more places where money is needed.
To this day, Lia still can't understand how Victor managed to spend so much money to learn magic.
She heard people say that although learning magic is very expensive, the most important things are talent and knowledge.
The expenses will be limited to magic books and hiring teachers.
At the very least, there are magical items, such as staves and robes.
Could it be that Victor bought hundreds of spellbooks every time he learned magic?
Just how much magic did he learn?
"Oh, right."
Before Leah could continue thinking, Levi suddenly spoke, seemingly implying something.
He stroked his chin, his gaze sweeping over Liya, making her look somewhat puzzled.
Levi only spoke when Leah began to feel uncomfortable being stared at:
“Miss Liya, although you take good care of yourself, you are still just an ordinary person.”
"Physically, they may still be somewhat inferior to us mages and knights like Gwen."
Lia was a little puzzled. Why would the Duke suddenly mention her constitution?
The next second, Reeves said in a very serious tone:
"If you are consciously trying to raise an heir, you should plan your childbearing as early as possible."
"It's best not to be like me, having Erica in middle age. It's not good for you or the child."
"And also..."
He paused, a deep and meaningful smile appearing on his face.
That smile seemed to conceal a kind of admonition to the young people:
"Success may not come on the first try, so try as many times as possible if conditions permit."
He watched as Liya's originally calm face gradually turned red.
Finally, Lia lowered her head slightly, embarrassed, and glanced to the side.
She put her hands behind her back, her fingers interlaced behind her back, pinching each other awkwardly.
Seeing Lia's appearance, Levi calmly nodded, placed one hand on his chest, and politely bowed slightly to her.
"That's all I have to say, I'll take my leave now."
"Soon, I will be going south with Viktor."
"No need to see me off."
After saying that, Levi straightened up, gave a polite smile, and then slowly left.
After a while, Lia heard the sound of carriage wheels rolling and the rustling of grass.
Her mind went completely blank, and her heart pounded in her chest, unable to calm down for a moment.
It felt as if my soul had been ripped from my body, and breathing became difficult.
Oh no, could it be that Duke Reeves has discovered something? Or did Victor tell him directly?
My God, this is so embarrassing.
She stood frozen in place, her eyes fixed on the spot where Levi had just left.
The chaotic thoughts in my mind were like a never-ending whirlwind, impossible to stop.
Leon, standing to the side, was speechless at the sight of her like this.
Miss Minglia is usually very intelligent, so why is she so flustered when it comes to Mr. Victor?
