Her gaze was fixed intently on Leah as she continued, asking another question:
"Then, where is the person who hurt Viktor?"
This statement clearly refers to Archduke Barlow.
It was she who spread the news of the conflict between Grand Duke Barlow and Victor.
Upon hearing this question, Lia fell silent.
Priscilla, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed in disbelief, looking back and forth between Gwen and Leah in astonishment.
Initially, Leah had also guessed that Gwen's arrival might be to "avenge" Viktor.
Sure enough, Gwen did have that thought in mind.
But if this were to actually happen, the consequences would be unpredictable.
Because, strictly speaking, Gwen is also a guardian of the Empire.
If they were to fight against Grand Duke Balo, who is also a guardian of the kingdom, it would be tantamount to triggering a war between the two countries.
Of course, in reality, the Empire also had reason to declare war on the Kingdom due to the conflict between Grand Duke Balo and Victor.
Lia, however, had no idea how Victor had managed to do it.
How exactly did he manage to get Empress Aurelion to willingly revoke his imperial citizenship?
This resulted in the fighting between the two sides not affecting the relationship between the two countries.
Although Leah didn't understand what Victor was trying to do, based on this incident, Leah believed...
Victor probably doesn't want a war between the two countries.
So how should she answer this question?
She knew that the Grand Duke of Barlow should be in Barlow County at this time.
However, any hesitation in the face of Gwen's sense of justice could reveal her inner conflict.
After careful consideration, she chose silence as her response.
Finally, Gwen seemed to understand Lydia's silence and did not press the matter further.
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the carriage fell silent once again.
The silence was awkward, and Priscilla felt extremely uncomfortable.
No wonder... no wonder Miss Gwen is Dad's fiancée...
Considering Viktor's personality, Priscilla felt that the two were a match made in heaven.
She wanted to say something to ease the somber atmosphere, but ultimately couldn't find the words.
Just then, a sudden, violent jolt came from outside the carriage.
Bang!
Immediately following was a dull thud, and the entire carriage tilted slightly.
The horses in front panicked, reared up, and let out a long neigh.
Due to the carriage's sudden braking, Leah nearly fell forward and almost collided with Gwen on the other side.
After regaining her balance, Lia frowned, her anger surging like a raging fire.
She looked around and found that both Priscilla and Gwen were behaving unusually calmly.
This further fueled her dissatisfaction, as she felt she was the only one who had lost face.
"what is going on?"
Priscilla took the opportunity to peek out and look ahead curiously.
The horses in front were pulling the carriage with all their might, but they couldn't budge it. The coachman looked panicked and hurriedly urged the horses on.
Turning his head, he saw Priscilla looking at him and quickly replied:
"I'm sorry, Lord Priscilla, it seems we've encountered bandits."
robbers?
Upon hearing this, Priscilla admitted that her cerebellum had shrunk slightly.
She had also heard that the kingdom's security was not very good in the past, and that bandits would occasionally appear on the road.
They specifically targeted carriages that looked wealthy, setting traps along the way.
Once a carriage travels on such a remote road, its wheels will get stuck in the ditch and keep moving forward.
But that was a long time ago.
Given the current security situation in Shulburn, such highway robberies should not be occurring.
Most importantly, the family crest on her carriage shouldn't have fallen off, right?
This should still be the Clevner family's carriage, right?
Who is so bold as to rob the Clavner family's carriage?
Priscilla looked down and saw that the wheel was indeed stuck in a ditch, and the two horses couldn't pull it out at all.
Immediately afterwards, a group of masked people suddenly appeared around them.
They carried various weapons and exuded a powerful aura; there were about seventeen or eighteen of them.
If an ordinary family were to encounter such a situation, they would probably not be able to escape easily, and might actually be willingly robbed.
At this moment, Liya, sitting in the carriage, sighed helplessly:
"well……"
She couldn't understand how she could have been robbed by bandits one day.
Upon hearing the sigh, Priscilla felt both flustered and guilty.
After all, this happened on her territory.
Aunt Liya and the others also helped her a lot in order to protect her territory.
Now, bandits have appeared on her territory, and they just happened to rob her family's carriage!
Miss Lia must be very disappointed now.
Thinking of this, a fire also ignited in Priscilla's heart. She turned to Leah and said:
"Auntie, let me go down and deal with them."
They didn't bring any guards on this trip, so it's definitely most appropriate for her, as the lord, to handle things now.
But before she could get out of the car, Leah stopped her:
"No, we probably don't need to."
Before Priscilla could understand why, she felt a chill coming from outside the carriage and involuntarily shrank her neck.
Because Gwen had gotten off the carriage at some point, no one knew.
With one hand supporting the long sword at her waist, she walked steadily to the front of the carriage.
Following the source of the chill, Liya, with her hands resting on the car window, watched this scene and smiled faintly:
"Justice is ready to be served."
