Snowflakes fluttered in the air, and her long, silvery-white hair danced in the air.
The armor, gleaming with the luster of steel, exuded a cold and majestic aura beneath the blanket of snow.
She stood amidst the wind and snow, resolute and powerful.
"Because you are my husband, I can indulge you indefinitely."
"But I hope you don't forget that I am a knight."
This is her duty.
No one could change her unwavering commitment to justice.
Even if that person is Viktor.
Gwen was prepared for any possible obstruction from Viktor.
She would not abandon her knightly duty and submit to Victor's firm stance.
As soon as Viktor utters a negative "no," she immediately refutes him and firmly rejects him.
"Alright, go ahead then."
"Even if you try to stop me, I will definitely... um?"
Just as Gwen was about to express her determination,
Viktor's words stunned her.
She blinked, a hint of surprise mixed with the determination in her eyes.
Did Victor just say that he agreed to let her go?
Wait, something's not right, is it?
The emotions she had just cultivated vanished without a trace after Victor's words.
Some were even puzzled, wondering why Viktor had suddenly changed his attitude.
Immediately afterwards, Victor made a request:
"But I will go with you."
Upon hearing this, Gwen frowned.
Although she was pleased that Victor had agreed,
Because that way, she wouldn't need to argue with her beloved husband.
But Victor's words still made Gwen feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"Do you think I'm not strong enough and are worried that I'll be in danger?"
Viktor's words just now made Gwen feel inexplicably slighted.
Under other circumstances, she might not have thought this way about Victor's concerns.
But considering their previous conversation, Gwen couldn't help but overthink things.
Viktor then readily admitted it.
"Yes, I'm worried you'll get hurt."
“Even if I agree to let you investigate, I must ensure your safety.”
Gwen was about to retort that she wouldn't get hurt when Victor's voice suddenly rang out again:
"Remember, you are among the few family members who will stay by my side."
"As long as I'm here, I won't allow anyone to hurt you."
As he spoke, his tone seemed to gradually regain its former gentleness.
While Gwen felt a surge of warmth, she couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.
She could only watch as Victor turned his head back and walked towards the stairs.
He continued speaking as he walked:
"Don't go out today. Let's go tomorrow. I'll go with you to see His Majesty to discuss this matter."
"Lia should have gone back by now, after all, she only came here to make sure I'm safe."
"So, since Liya isn't home, what are you waiting for?"
Standing on the stairs, Viktor, who had already gone halfway up, turned around and looked at Gwen, who was still standing in the doorway, somewhat dazed.
His voice softened, sounding more gentlemanly.
He extended an invitation to the other person to spend the night together:
"It's getting late, madam."
"It's time for us to go to bed."
