In Lia's mind, she did not want the Clavenna family to fall out with the two princes.
After all, it's still unclear who the final winner will be.
As Victor said, if the emperor only has two years left...
So, two years later, whoever ascends the throne...
Viktor will face retribution for his actions today.
But on the one hand...
Lia placed one hand on her chest.
For some reason, I felt a warm sensation in my chest.
Perhaps it was the response to long-standing expectations and hopes that were finally realized at this moment.
Just when she thought she no longer needed anyone's help, Victor solved everything for her.
Lia turned around and saw Victor finally emerge from the palace.
Gwen was also with him.
Finally, after everyone had left, Victor remained in the palace, seemingly talking to His Majesty.
So he became the last person to leave the palace.
Lia looked at Victor, her feelings a little complicated.
She opened her mouth, intending to say something to express her gratitude, but what came out was:
Why did it take you so long to come back?
There seemed to be a hint of resentment in his tone.
Victor had his hands in his trench coat pockets. He glanced down at Leah.
"I helped others solve some problems."
"By the way, teach the princess magic lessons."
As Lia listened to Viktor's nonchalant reply, she was about to say something to tell him just how angry she was, but before she could utter a word, Viktor suddenly said:
"Remember, you have your own freedom."
No one can force you to do anything.
A sudden sentence interrupted Lia's complaining mood.
She stared blankly at the tall, imposing figure in front of her.
For some reason, I had a strange feeling in my heart.
I really wanted to say something to him to vent my anger, and I really wanted to act cute towards him.
It's like assuming that Victor can tolerate all of one's unreasonable and domineering behavior.
This statement was too far removed from Lia's reality.
After her father's death, no one was there to cherish and care for her as she had hoped.
But now, Lia seems to have developed a new impulse.
"elder brother……"
She tried to pronounce the last syllable of the word, but the words stuck in her throat and she couldn't get them out.
In the end, she couldn't bring herself to say it, because a fantastical and luxurious carriage slowly approached from the dark street corner, radiating a warm light.
This carriage was quite peculiar. As a carriage, it had no horses pulling it from the front, nor a driver to urge the horses on. It was simply driven by magic to move along the road.
Lia was slightly taken aback when she saw the carriage that Victor often used for his travels.
The car door opened automatically, and Victor said calmly.
Let's go.
"It's time to go home."
......
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Delin's mansion.
Lia watched Gwen get off the carriage, where Kefla was already waiting to greet her at the door.
Before leaving, Gwen glanced at Viktor one last time and asked:
"This time, you won't disappear for a few days again, will you?"
Victor nodded.
"Then don't forget to come tomorrow morning."
After saying that, as if realizing some misunderstanding, she quickly added:
"I'm referring to tomorrow's sword practice. Don't forget!"
After saying that, Gwen quickly turned and went into the mansion, not daring to look at Victor again.
Seeing that Gwen had completely left, Leah sat in the carriage looking at Victor and said in a rather teasing tone:
"Oh, my master monk even knows how to express his feelings to his fiancée?"
Victor didn't respond to Lia's words, casually stuffed a mouthful of birdseed into Vega's hand, and glanced back at Lia.
"What did you want to say before you got in the car?"
Liya was taken aback, coughed twice, and said casually.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you some questions, but I haven't left the palace yet, so it's not easy to say."
She's not that pretentious. How could someone her age possibly call someone "brother"?
And she did indeed have something to ask Viktor.
Now that we're in our own carriage, we can ask whatever we want.
"You really intend to... support the princess?"
Victor nodded.
Lia was puzzled.
"Why? The princess has no power whatsoever, and besides, the empire has never had a female emperor."
"So, she's the first one."
Viktor's voice rang out calmly, and his unquestionable tone left Lia somewhat stunned.
Although she couldn't understand why Viktor was so confident, she didn't impulsively ask him further.
The two remained silent in the carriage.
Soon, the carriage came to a slow stop, and Victor opened the door, letting Lia get out first.
The large number of guards at the entrance to the courtyard had left, and there was no one there at the moment.
The princess had long been sent back to the palace by Victor, so the guards naturally had no reason to stay here.
The servants opened the door when they saw the master of the house and the young lady return.
Upon entering the courtyard, Liya seemed to suddenly remember something, and just as she opened her mouth to speak:
"By the way, the Duke came yesterday. His daughter seems to be ill. Do you have any..."
As she spoke, her voice gradually became softer and softer.
When you pass by the garden, does a soft, fluffy cloud drift by?
Lia blinked and looked up at the clouds.
On that cloud lay a sleeping, slovenly elf, dressed in rather revealing clothing.
"?"
A big question mark rose above Lia's head.
What is this thing?
