It was only through the intervention of the Elf Queen Kokot that he was forcibly pulled back from the brink of death.
He was already seriously injured, and with his old wounds still present, his condition had reached a point where it was beyond cure.
In the end, the southern front was breached.
For the sake of royal dignity, and to give an explanation to all the homeless,
Albany, already on the verge of death, chose to let her execute him.
To have this empress execute her family in the same way she would execute a disgraced official.
The path to becoming king is destined to be lonely.
For a long time during that period, Aurelion was plagued by nightmares and even became depressed.
However, Viktor's return gave Aurelion hope.
The person she had been longing for had returned to her side.
Aurelion didn't want to endure the pain of separation and loneliness again; she wanted to cherish this one and only opportunity.
But... can she really enjoy this companionship?
Thinking of this, Aurelion placed one hand on her chest.
Feeling the warmth within her, she gradually felt a little more at ease.
In any case, Teacher Victor had already agreed to her request.
The next step is to choose an auspicious day...
But how should the wedding be held? And on which day?
Should we ask Professor Viktor? After all, he has experience.
Numerous details about the wedding kept surfacing in Aurelion's mind.
In the end, she made a resolute decision.
I'm not going to sleep, I'm going to find Teacher Victor!
After all, Professor Victor was currently locked in a room she had carefully prepared.
She would immediately notice if Teacher Victor tried to leave.
Moreover, since Teacher Victor is about to become her royal consort, isn't it only natural for her to go and see her future husband?
With this in mind, she took action.
Aurelion quickly threw off the covers and got out of bed.
She looked down at her pajamas, and after a moment's thought, decided to change into something more dignified.
In the dimly lit room, she stretched out her slender arm, and magic gathered at her fingertips, forming a hazy and dreamlike starlight.
At the same time, a blurry nebula swirled in the air and quickly enveloped Aurelion's body.
In an instant, the light of the stars darted through the illusory mist.
A light blue, belted long dress appeared in the faint fluorescent light, replacing her original outfit.
To prevent others in the palace from discovering her whereabouts, Aurelion casually created a directional teleportation array.
The destination was the room where Victor was.
Then, her body was shrouded in a hazy, star-like halo, and she vanished from the spot in the blink of an eye.
call--
A gentle breeze swept by, carrying a hazy nebula swiftly through the corridor and steps, reaching Victor's room door.
Aurelion coughed twice, straightened her clothes, patted her cheeks, and put on a gentle and natural smile.
Make sure you appear calm and composed when you meet Viktor.
She placed her hands lightly on her lower abdomen with utmost elegance before cautiously knocking on the door.
"Is the old man...asleep?"
I almost instinctively called out "teacher," but I couldn't rush it.
Aurelion realized that now was not the time to rush things.
Once we're officially married, we'll call him "teacher" again.
Thinking of this, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but feel a peculiar sense of transgression, which only made her feel more excited.
However, there was no sound from inside the room.
She fell silent for a moment.
She set up all the magic in the room; as long as you get close to the room, you can hear what's going on inside.
Why not just set up a magical spying system... no, a way to openly observe Teacher Victor's every move?
Doing this would likely displease Professor Victor, after all, he is a sixth-tier mage.
Moreover, he is probably the only sixth-tier mage in the world at present.
Aurelion knew that her magic could not restrain her teacher, so she only cast a simple protective spell.
She could immediately sense if the teacher tried to break the spell.
But now, there is no sound in the room, and there is no sign of the protective magic being broken.
The teacher couldn't possibly not be in the room...
Feeling somewhat frightened, Aurelione finally decided to push open the door.
She stepped inside, only to find the room empty.
The draft created by opening the door also caused the previously open windows to sway.
Now, these two windows are constantly banging against the wall in the wind, making a crisp, thumping sound.
At the same time, a gust of wind pierced through the night sky, constantly blowing through the room.
The lights were still bright, seemingly suggesting to Aurelion that someone had been in the room not long ago.
Aurelion searched everywhere but couldn't detect anyone's presence.
She stared at the open window, feeling a wave of dizziness wash over her, almost fainting.
The teacher... ran away!?
How did he escape? The protective magic in the room should have alerted her to the breach.
Why……
Didn't the teacher already... agree to her request?
However, seeing the empty room only made Aurelion feel even heavier.
Because no matter what reason you give, it won't work now; Victor has disappeared.
Aurelion entered the room and sat down on the sofa, looking utterly dejected.
The sofa still carried Mr. Viktor's scent, but apart from that, there was no trace of him in the room.
Wait a minute, what's that smell?
Aurelion suddenly snapped out of her daze and sat up straight.
She frowned slightly and sniffed.
What happened...?
Why does it smell like... something burnt?
