There's no way around it, this news is just too fucking outrageous.
They now have to withstand pressure from other countries before Victor personally intervenes.
At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not dare to delay and immediately sent the message to the palace.
The messenger rode swiftly on horseback, his hooves whistling through the air and sparks flying, and arrived at the palace in less than half an hour.
But when they arrived at the palace gates, they were stopped by the guards:
"Please return; His Majesty has already informed us."
"She will not see anyone during this time."
...
A white, curved wooden chair stands quietly on the mountaintop, with a golden bird's head staff perched atop it, leaning against the side of the chair.
Victor was sitting on the edge of the cliff, flipping through a magic book.
He has spent almost the entire day here since he left the church.
The news circulating now seems to have nothing to do with him, even though he is clearly the central figure in this incident.
But now, Heni is not with him.
Sometime later, Lia discovered Heni.
Fortunately, what she discovered was only Henney in her animal form.
Lia mistakenly thought that Hene was a cute little fox and became very fond of her, so she kept asking Victor for her.
Upon seeing this, Victor immediately decided to give it to Leah.
That way, he won't be tempted by that little fox every day.
With her pet by her side, Lia should be more restrained.
After all, not many people would enjoy exercising in front of their pets.
In short, this period should be the most peaceful time for Viktor when he returns.
He will have more time to process the messages he receives and prepare a response.
With Vega gone, he's down one card.
He needs to put in more effort to ensure that everything in the future is handled properly.
Most importantly, if Vijaru hasn't returned after a while, he'll need to consider going to find him himself.
After all, no one can replace Viktor by his side.
However, what's next is of utmost importance.
Gradually, Viktor closed the book.
But he still gazed at the cliff in front of him, looking down at the dense forest shrouded in mist.
Air currents rippled, and tree canopies swayed.
Speaking to himself, Viktor seemed to say:
"Congratulations, you've found me."
"..."
After a brief silence, a clear, slightly pained voice came from behind him:
"Teacher, why... have you been avoiding me for so long?"
A figure gradually emerged from the shadows behind him.
She was quiet, without any grand magical setup or display of an imposing imperial aura.
He simply stood there quietly, watching the figure sitting in the chair ahead.
There were no noisy arguments, nor heart-wrenching cries.
Everything was just like a child, silently burying their sorrow deep in their heart.
They were afraid that their childishness would annoy adults, or even cause them to disappear completely.
In Viktor's hands, the book gradually became blurred and indistinct.
Its outline seemed to transform into an interconnected path of stars, slowly dissipating into the air.
Then, Viktor slowly stood up and naturally put his hands into his pockets.
The chair and staff behind him also merged into the void and disappeared.
Viktor turned around and looked directly at the woman in front of him.
She is Aurelian ten years in the future, no longer the innocent girl she once was.
The other person's appearance perfectly matched the "Eternal Witch" in Victor's memory.
But the expression on her face was something the [Eternal Witch] would never have.
It was a complex emotion that blended pain, sorrow, and resentment.
But in the end, she let out a deep breath.
All the complex emotions vanished from her face in an instant.
“If you insist on not answering, then… please come back to the Empire with me.”
Her gaze gradually became calm and sharp.
His body exuded the supreme majesty of an emperor.
It was an aura that swallowed up heaven and earth, pressing down on all things.
The surrounding air became stagnant and dry, and the space felt restless and oppressive.
It was as if it were proclaiming that the words of the emperor were the unquestionable truth.
It cannot be refused.
“If you remain unmoved, I will defeat you and forcibly take you back to the Empire.”
Yes, that's right, that's the expression.
Looking into Aurelian's eyes, Victor made up his mind.
The woman he knows now is the eternal witch he remembers.
That wasn't confidence, but a detached calm that transcended the feeling of having victory in one's grasp.
That transcendence comes from the bloodline of the Thor family.
It is a calm that disregards everything and takes victory for granted.
But...
Looking at the other person, Viktor couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"Are you that confident?"
"No."
The Eternal Witch slowly raised her head, a surging pressure emanating from her calm eyes.
The cliff beneath their feet trembled violently, and the surrounding space became restless and sharp.
Even the misty fog below the cliff became turbulent and swirling, like a river of clouds flowing backwards, magnificent and turbulent.
Heaven and earth tilted, and space shattered.
At that moment, she seemed to be the supreme ruler of the world.
"You taught me too well."
"teacher."
