Several luxurious carriages, adorned with gold patterns, sped along the dirt roads on the empire's border.
The rolling wheels kicked up clouds of dust, and the slight swaying inside the carriage reflected its rapid movement.
Each carriage is engraved with unique patterns and different family crests.
Therefore, even the decorations around each carriage are unique, showcasing its distinctive aristocratic air.
Surrounding the carriage procession was a group of knights riding tall white horses with long swords hanging from their waists.
They stood like a gleaming silver protective ring, tightly guarding the luxurious carriage in the center.
The consistent riding speed conveyed an unbreakable sense of security.
The armor of each knight clanged against each other with the slight swaying of their horses, producing a soft metallic scraping sound.
These sounds actually made the whole team appear more organized and well-equipped.
For this mission, virtually all the prominent noble mages in the entire capital were mobilized.
In addition, a large number of second- and third-tier mages joined.
This also includes Victor, the world's youngest fourth-tier mage.
It is easy to imagine how much importance the empire attached to this volcano.
After all, once a volcano erupts, the surrounding area within a hundred miles will be completely destroyed, and countless lives will be lost.
Therefore, every knight felt extremely heavy-hearted, and their faces were filled with seriousness and a sense of responsibility.
But when Viktor is mentioned...
The knights instinctively looked ahead, towards the ornately decorated carriage bearing the Clavner family crest.
And that figure riding a white horse, clad in silver armor,
Their gazes couldn't help but show a hint of admiration.
Grand Knight Gwent didn't sit in her mage master's comfortable carriage, but instead chose to ride with them.
If it weren't for the fact that he could become the Grand Knight Commander...
Their dedication and willingness to connect with the people are enough to earn their deep respect.
But they didn't know,
At this moment, Gwen was riding at the very front of the group.
Beside her was Victor's personal carriage.
Gwen, however, kept her eyes fixed straight ahead, her gaze indifferent.
They even deliberately made her mount speed up, just to overtake the carriage next to her.
Her behavior seemed to carry a deliberate indifference.
Soon, the carriage curtain suddenly opened, and then a magical force slowly drifted down, gently stroking the white horse's back, forcing it to slow down.
"What's wrong? Why don't you want to talk to me all of a sudden?"
Viktor's calm voice came from inside the carriage. He used magic to slow down the white horse, so that Gwen could only keep a parallel distance to him.
As soon as Gwen turned her head, she could see Victor inside the carriage.
Even though she was deliberately slowed down, she didn't turn to look at the carriage. Instead, she said coldly, as if somewhat annoyed:
"You were in a bad mood yesterday, so you went to the academy. What did you do there?"
Originally, Gwen had no other thoughts, and even felt a little worried because Victor had not returned home so late.
She felt genuinely relieved when Victor returned safe and sound.
But after meeting the Duke of Reeves and his daughter today, especially after hearing that the Duke of Reeves' daughter is also studying at the academy.
Gwen suddenly realized something.
Because Viktor also went to the academy yesterday during the day.
Then I thought about all the rumors about them.
Gwen immediately became alert.
After all, as the Grand Knight Commander, she led a predominantly male knightly order.
She would also overhear her subordinates' conversations and learn that most men liked young and pretty girls.
Erica is only seventeen years old, in the prime of her youth.
Her appearance was pure and beautiful, and her face radiated youthful glow.
Even Gwen herself would be attracted to a face like that.
Not to mention that this beautiful young woman had previously confessed her feelings for Viktor in public.
As a man, is Viktor truly able to remain completely unaffected by temptation?
Especially today, Erica appeared in front of her and greeted her politely.
But to Gwen, the more she looked at the greeting, the more it seemed like a provocation and a declaration of war.
Various thoughts intertwined in her mind, gradually piecing together a clear picture.
Thinking that Viktor had locked himself in his room for three days after returning from that banquet, refusing to share a bed with her,
Gwen's mind grew more suspicious.
Viktor, you can't dislike her because she's old, can you?
After all, she was already twenty-five years old, no longer the young woman she once was.
But if Victor really disliked her, why was he so intense last night?
He even resorted to magic...
Gwen's thoughts were in turmoil, too many ideas tangling and pulling at her mind, making her completely unwilling to pay attention to the other person.
Then, Victor's voice rang in her ear again.
"I told you, I was going to look for something."
Gwen felt that Viktor seemed indifferent to everything, and a strong sense of grievance quickly welled up in her heart.
In the heat of the moment, Gwen's tone turned cold:
"So, did you find it?"
I don't know why,
Since what Leah said to her yesterday, Gwen felt that Leah was right.
She was so humble.
She always indulged Viktor to the point that she didn't even know if he was having an affair.
Therefore, she must find out the truth today.
Just then, Viktor seemed somewhat helpless and sighed.
