He seemed to be able to precisely anticipate his opponent's every move.
Her demeanor was unhurried and perfectly measured, and her magic exuded a noble elegance.
It could be said that Viktor's appearance was something Claudia had never expected.
A single mage could possess such power.
The dead demon of jealousy left the palace, leaving only ruins in the entire palace, along with Victor floating in mid-air.
The veracity of Claudia's statement is debatable.
Perhaps that was just an excuse she made up to absolve herself of the harm she had caused the Grand Duke's daughter.
But for Aubrey, the world's most powerful warrior, recognizing Victor's extraordinary qualities was not difficult.
That's right, Victor isn't a third-tier mage; that's just a lie he's telling everyone.
If people knew that he was actually a fourth-tier mage, the whole world would undoubtedly be shaken.
He will instantly become the focus of the whole world.
Therefore, even when facing Angus, he did not tell the whole truth.
He sighed at the end, glanced at Viktor beside him, and continued:
“I don’t want Victor to get involved in all that royal mess. It’s Aubrey’s prerogative to choose whomever he wants.”
"If he chooses someone who can win people's hearts, even a pig will be accepted by everyone."
"But what if it's inherently incapable..."
There was no need to make any definitive statements; Angus understood what Tisnato meant.
In the end, it will be Viktor who gets hurt and suffers the consequences.
There was nothing he could do; after all, Aubrey was the emperor.
Angus thought this to himself, but said it aloud:
"So that's why you want Viktor to get engaged to my Gwen."
"In that case, he won't have to be the princess's teacher?"
Tisnato shrugged and said helplessly:
"No, I still want to be a teacher; I can't refuse that now."
“I just want Viktor to get engaged sooner, so that even Aubrey can’t force Viktor to marry his daughter.”
Indeed, the best way to extricate Viktor from the entanglements within the royal family is to get engaged as soon as possible.
Surely Aubrey wouldn't be willing to let his daughter marry a man who already has a wife, would he?
However, upon hearing this, Angus snorted coldly, his tone becoming somewhat displeased.
"For your child, you're sacrificing my Gwen?"
Looking at this incident alone, Tisnato arranged for Victor to get engaged to Gwen in order to prevent Victor from getting involved in the royal infighting.
This seems unfair to Gwen.
"Tesnato, aren't my children children too?"
Although Angus originally intended to agree to the marriage, he disliked and would not accept the reason given.
"Why did Gwen from my family have to be chosen from so many good families?"
“I also have an older daughter, Kefla. She held Viktor when he was little, so she’s a little older than Viktor.”
"At worst, I'll call Kefla back and have her marry Victor. She's about the right age anyway."
Angus was indeed anxious about his older single daughter.
It's been so long, I don't even know if I've ever been in a relationship.
Upon hearing Kefla, Tisnato's expression stiffened for a moment, and he quickly continued:
"Look, you're in such a hurry. I haven't finished speaking yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, Angus glanced at Tisnato with a puzzled expression, watching him continue.
"Aren't you curious why I'm so keen on having Gwen and Victor get married?"
Hearing this, Angus was indeed a little curious.
With Viktor's status and qualifications, if he were to go out and find a wife, every family would be eager to send their daughters to him.
While it's fair to say that Victor and Gwen are closer than the daughters of other families, there's some truth to that.
But Tesnato would certainly not agree to this reason.
So, just as Tisnato was wondering,
Viktor, who had remained silent beside the two, suddenly spoke.
“It’s me, Uncle Angus.”
Hearing this, Angus showed a slight surprise.
He watched as Viktor stood up from the sofa, placed one hand on his chest again, and bowed deeply to him.
"It was my own desire to marry Gwen that led me to make this request to my father."
Angus's eyes widened in shock and hesitation as he shifted his gaze from Viktor to Tisnato, who was standing to the side.
Seeing Tisnato's smug smile, Angus stopped looking at Tisnato's reaction.
He took a deep breath, composed himself, and cleared his throat.
Then, he looked at Viktor, who had straightened up again, his expression calm, but with a hint of seriousness in his eyes:
Why...do you want to marry Gwen?
What does Gwen have?
Aside from being Angus's daughter and a trainee knight, what does she have that compares to Victor?
Could it be that Viktor was attracted to Gwen's beauty? That's even more absurd.
How old is Gwen now? Ten years old!
Boys like Viktor are at an age where they are interested in mature women.
Viktor, however, did the opposite and fell in love with a minor.
This? Isn't this even more outrageous?
This is pure perversion!
Angus never expected that Viktor, who seemed so serious, was actually a repressed pervert who liked minors.
However, Viktor's next words left Angus completely stunned.
"Because that was her wish."
He stared blankly at Viktor.
Despite it being the dead of winter, she wore a smile, as warm as a spring breeze.
Gentle and sincere.
"Therefore, I came as promised."
"Marry her as soon as possible."
