At least her childhood will no longer be as miserable as before.
But as Viktor said,
The road ahead is still long.
This time, another ten years have passed easily.
At this moment, he is sitting in his familiar study, pen and ink in hand, carefully writing on an envelope.
At fifteen, his face already showed signs of maturity; through his handsome features, one could glimpse his future brilliance and dashing spirit.
However, his face still retained the youthful naiveté unique to teenagers.
Like an elegant young gentleman, every movement exudes a noble air.
He had just finished writing the letter, sealed the envelope, and bundled several books together when he instructed the servant beside him to mail it.
Just as the maid was about to leave, she saw the petite figure at the door and quickly bowed her head to greet her.
"Miss Liya."
That shout finally exposed Lia, who was hiding by the door peeking at Victor.
Lia was startled and coughed softly, quickly regaining her composure from the panic.
Pretending to be just passing by, I nodded to the maid.
"I'm just passing by. If you have something to do, go ahead and do it."
"Yes, Miss Liya."
After saying this, the maid took the package and quickly left.
Leah was left alone, standing at the door, unsure whether to go in or go out.
Until I heard Victor's voice coming from the study.
"Why did you come here?"
As if she had finally found the key words, Lia crossed her arms haughtily, raised her innocent little face, and quietly walked into the study.
"I... of course I came to see you because I have something to discuss."
"Did you donate those magic books again?"
She frowned slightly.
Ever since her brother sponsored an orphanage, he has been sending the magic books he has learned there from time to time.
Although Lia knew that her brother no longer needed these magic books.
He was a magical genius known to everyone in the empire.
At only fifteen years old, even the Imperial Magic Academy of the Empire wanted to recruit him as a teacher.
The other party has even offered a clear package of benefits: Viktor could be promoted to professor within five years.
However, Viktor did not go.
She didn't need these spellbooks, even though she had once wanted to learn magic.
But both her brother and father seemed to strongly oppose her learning magic.
Fortunately, Lia was an obedient and good child, and eventually decided to take over all the family businesses when she grew up.
Because my father said that my brother would need a lot of money to learn magic.
So, Lia wanted to earn lots and lots of money to support her brother's magic studies.
That's right! That's Lia's wish.
She hoped that one day she could take out a large sum of money, throw it confidently in Viktor's face, and say to him domineeringly:
'Brother! You focus on your studies, I'll take care of you!'
Therefore, she is very sensitive to precious items such as magic books.
These expensive books, even if sold, can bring in a considerable income.
However, she found it difficult to understand Viktor's continued act of sending these precious magic books to the orphanage.
But Viktor always remained silent or made excuses, never giving her a definite answer.
Just like this time, Victor didn't explain, but calmly spoke to her:
You'll find out later.
Leah pouted, seemingly sulking, and turned her head away, muttering:
"That's what you said before..."
However, her anger did not last long.
Not long after, a burly man happened to walk past outside the door.
Then, as if he suddenly saw something, he hurriedly turned around and came back.
That's Tisnato.
He seemed to be in a very good mood, walking briskly into the study and letting out a hearty laugh.
"Haha, Victor, so you've been here all along."
"I've been looking for you for ages."
Lia turned around, saw the person who had come, and her eyes lit up with surprise and joy. She exclaimed excitedly.
"dad!"
Victor also stood up from his chair, gracefully placed one hand on his chest, then leaned forward slightly and bowed.
"Father."
Basic etiquette is essential; elegance is a word that Victor always maintains.
Tisnato had also grown accustomed to the etiquette Victor always maintained at home.
He didn't say much, but simply spoke in a casual manner:
"Quickly, come with me to northern Xinjiang."
Viktor straightened up, his expression calm, as if he had expected this.
But when Leah heard this word, she was both puzzled and excited, filled with anticipation.
"Why the sudden trip to northern Xinjiang? Is it even possible for me to go?"
She knew exactly where the Northern Frontier was; it was her Uncle Angus's territory.
It is also the home of her best friend, Gwen.
She has to admit, she's starting to miss Gwen a little.
They haven't seen each other much since Gwen said she was going to start training with the Knights.
Therefore, she also wanted to take this opportunity to go to northern Xinjiang and see her dear friend again.
Tisnato looked at Lia and said directly:
"Oh, no problem, you can come along too, just think of it as having some fun."
"However, your brother definitely has to go, since this matter is related to him."
Upon hearing this, Leah immediately became interested and eagerly asked Tisnato:
"What? What is it?"
Then she heard the other person laugh out loud twice and say:
“Victor is getting old enough, and Angus and I discussed it and decided to have Gwen and Victor get engaged.”
"From now on, when you see Gwen, you can call her sister-in-law."
Upon hearing this news, Lia's initial excitement instantly cooled.
The smile on her face vanished instantly, as if her entire world had collapsed along with it.
Incidentally, opinions about Gwen also collapsed.
It seems that her best friend,
Suddenly, it didn't seem so particularly good anymore.
