Only then can Viktor also find happiness in their relationship.
This also means that the more Gwen loves Victor,
Her love thus became all the more evident—
"Humble".
These two simple words rang out coldly from Lia's mouth.
A chilling cold seemed to bind Gwen's body, causing her to freeze in place.
She wanted to argue, but the words stuck in her throat, making her feel suffocated and unable to breathe.
Yes, Victor deeply loves Gwen, and Gwen deeply loves Victor.
However, they never realized that their feelings for each other were not actually equal.
Gwen's unconditional indulgence of Viktor even reached the point where she completely lost her own opinions without him.
She was still Gwen, but she had become Gwen who lived entirely for Viktor.
If it were the Gwen of the past, the Gwen who hadn't yet married Viktor and still maintained her independent self.
If you saw Viktor locking himself in his study for three days and warning others not to enter without permission,
She will not hesitate at all.
She would place her hand directly on the doorknob and push open the door that had been locked for so long without hesitation.
Then, she would ruthlessly drag the person inside out.
But you didn't do that.
"You're just panicking, you're scared."
Even when you're so worried you can't control yourself, all you do is call me over and ask me for help on what to do.
Lia shook her head, her eyes filled with disappointment and helplessness.
"How can you truly help your husband when you're beyond help?"
Finally, Lia looked at Gwen, who was sitting on the sofa, silent and distracted after being scolded, and looked away.
She also looked up at the ceiling and sighed deeply.
Strictly speaking, how can we blame Gwen entirely?
I'm afraid every woman in the world would feel 'I'm not good enough' if she were in front of Victor.
Yes, all women.
Just like the joke Leah made with Gwen when they were kids,
I think my brother is a god.
Was that really just a joke?
Lia herself knew that she genuinely believed that at the time.
Viktor is so perfect, so perfect that he seems to have no flaws.
No one is good enough for such a perfect person.
But isn't Gwen excellent?
She is the only woman in the entire kingdom and even the empire to have reached the rank of Grand Knight.
Even the emperor praised her highly, calling her the most righteous knight in the empire.
Outside the home, Gwen also won the admiration of countless people.
Gwen, with such achievements, is naturally extremely outstanding.
She is so outstanding that most men her age would feel inferior in her presence.
Even so, Gwen still felt extremely inferior when she was with Victor.
And what about her?
She was merely the eldest daughter of the Clavenna family, a businesswoman skilled in making money and networking.
Once the support of the Clavenna family is lost, and the nominal relationship with Victor is severed,
Can she still stand firmly by Viktor's side with the mindset of an ordinary person?
Therefore, after learning that secret, she dared not reveal the truth to Victor.
At least in this way, they are still siblings, and there is still that nominal relationship between them.
She could still call Viktor "brother" with a smile without any hesitation when she saw him.
Therefore, Lia could only keep these feelings hidden deep in her heart.
It became a secret she could never tell anyone.
During the long silence between the two,
Ta-da!
Finally, a maid rushed downstairs, panting heavily.
As soon as she got downstairs, she saw Gwen sitting on the sofa, looking lost and dejected, and Leah, who was equally silent.
But she seemed oblivious to the strange atmosphere in the living room, and instead eagerly reported to Gwen:
"Madam! The head of the family has come out!"
These words immediately caught the attention of Gwen and Lia.
They immediately stood up and looked up at the staircase leading to the second floor.
Then they saw Victor standing on the stairs, hands in his pockets, expressionless.
He has indeed come out.
But……
Both Leah and Gwen sensed an unusual sense of alienation from Victor.
In his daily life, Victor is always confident and approachable in front of his family.
However, after locking himself in his study for three days and three nights, Viktor seemed to have become a different person when he came out.
His eyes were calm, his gaze cold and indifferent.
Those obsidian-like eyes were calm and undisturbed, like an abyss, gazing indifferently at the entire world.
Even when both of their eyes fell on Viktor at the same time, he didn't react at all.
He simply went downstairs silently, walked past them without even saying hello, and headed straight for the door.
Finally, seeing this, Gwen, unable to bear it any longer, spoke up.
"Where...where are you going?"
Viktor stopped and turned his back to the two of them.
As if he still harbored a lingering affection for their marriage, he offered an explanation to Gwen:
"Go to the academy."
However, in this brief explanation, Gwen clearly sensed a subtle distance emanating from the other person's words.
And the hidden resentment.
"Go and get back what I've lost."
