The surprise stemmed from the fact that Aurelian would unexpectedly include him when discussing her family.
He laughed out loud because he could tell from his voice...
Aurelion's expression of affection was devoid of any emotion.
It's simply a child's innocent fondness.
She thought the teacher was a very good person, so she genuinely liked him.
This is completely different from Aurelion's past relationship with her former teacher.
Hearing Victor's laughter, Aurelion tilted her head in confusion, looking at him with bewilderment.
Did she just say something funny?
But why would the teacher ask that question?
With doubts in her mind, Aurelion asked directly.
"Teacher, do you feel unhappy? But don't you have family too?"
"And yesterday, your wedding with Miss Gwen. Mother said that yesterday's Grand Knight Gwen was the happiest woman in the world."
"She said that marrying someone you love is the greatest happiness in life... Don't you like Grand Knight Gwen?"
Thankfully, it was just childish talk; otherwise, Aurelion's words would have made people wonder if she did it on purpose.
This made Viktor fall silent for a moment.
It seems I'll have to teach Aurelion how to have polite conversations with people in the future.
However, after hearing Aurelion's words, Victor finally felt a little relieved.
At least for now, Aurelion is indeed happy.
Her mother was rescued, filling most of the void of maternal love she had missed.
So what's wrong with him? Why is he suddenly asking such a strange question?
Leah, Gwen, Aurelion, Hene, Erica.
Isn't the happiness and perfect ending of these people exactly what he has been pursuing since he came back this time?
Currently, the only person he hasn't contacted is Erica.
However, Erica was already happy; she only needed to avoid all the future troubles to have a perfect ending.
In contrast, Gwen spent her entire life in a wheelchair, Aurelion was only thirty years old, Erica became an ordinary person, and Henney could only be a little fox for her entire life.
Isn't the current trend moving towards a better future?
But why? What is he struggling with?
Victor didn't understand.
He left the palace early and sat in the carriage that needed no horses and was driven purely by magic.
Gazing at the bustling traffic outside the street, he remained silent for a long time.
Until he returned to the Claverner mansion in the capital, to this home that felt both familiar and strange to him.
The carriage stopped at the door, but Victor did not get out for a long time.
Gwen has not yet returned.
The Royal Knights are responsible for maintaining order throughout the capital, so she works very late.
In particular, Gwen is a very responsible knight.
At this time, it's even less likely that she'll go home.
So during this period of time, this familiar home didn't seem to evoke any particular fondness in Viktor.
He used magic to send the carriage into the mansion by himself.
Then, he stretched out his hand and conjured a huge teleportation array out of thin air.
He activated his magic, causing the magic circle beneath his feet to emit a faint glow.
Under the influence of magic, Victor's body quickly transformed into a light and fleeting streak of light, disappearing in front of the mansion.
When I opened my eyes again, I was already in the familiar Braxton.
Teleporting directly from the capital to Brayston is something even most mages cannot do.
But there's nothing we can do about it, since Victor is currently the youngest fourth-tier mage at only 25 years old.
However, standing in front of this familiar mansion where I have lived for nearly twenty years,
Viktor didn't know why he suddenly decided to return to his hometown.
He strode forward, observing the servants around him and the demi-humans, wearing various hats to conceal their ear features, bustling about inside and outside the mansion.
It seemed that no one noticed Viktor's return.
It wasn't until Viktor reached the front yard and heard that extremely familiar voice that he heard it.
"Quickly, this batch of goods needs to be transported to the capital in the shortest possible time."
"That grain merchant's wife gave birth and he's going back to see the baby? Hasn't he been home for two years already?"
"Still haven't found a new agent? Then keep posting cooperation information."
Familiar voices, familiar busyness.
He watched Liya's busy figure from afar, gradually releasing the presence he had just suppressed.
Lia, who is exceptionally sensitive to her surroundings, immediately noticed Victor's presence.
Her gaze fell on Viktor, and she paused slightly, slightly taken aback.
"elder brother?"
Lia blurted out.
Then, she walked briskly through a group of busy workers toward Victor.
"Why are you back... Everyone else, get back to work!"
Lia turned around and gave a loud order, and the workers, quite sensibly, reacted.
Those who need to haul goods should haul goods, and those who need to leave should leave.
Soon, only Lia and Victor remained in the front yard.
Lia frowned and said directly to Victor:
"On your very first day of marriage, you leave your beautiful wife at home and run back to your hometown? Are you some kind of wronged concubine?"
And there was that familiar rebuke.
"Never mind, I'm still busy. I don't know how you got here, but you should go back soon."
“If you don’t go back by tonight, I’m going to call Gwen to drag you back.”
Leah scratched her head impatiently, and was about to turn and leave when she heard Victor speak up behind her.
