The next day, everything returned to normal.
Gwen continued her daily early morning routine for the Cavaliers' practice.
They even added new exercises, a new course on cooking ingredients.
Even within the Knights, she would often mutter to herself, pondering how much salt to put in a dish.
This sent a chill down the spine of every subordinate who occasionally overheard these ramblings.
What does this mean? Is Commander Gwen going to become a cook?
Leah's daily routine continued as usual; she almost always stayed at the Bryston home, busy handling the family's various businesses.
However, because of the time Victor ran home, Lia mistakenly thought that her brother had suffered some kind of trauma.
In addition to Victor's invitation last time, Lia would occasionally go to the royal capital's mansion to stay overnight.
Gwen was always very happy whenever Leah visited.
At night, they would go together to sleep in the room that had always been prepared for Lia.
As for what they mentioned when they were little, that they both slept with Victor.
It seems they all remember this conversation from when they were little and didn't understand anything, but they all tacitly pretend to have forgotten or that it never happened.
In short, no one brought it up on their own initiative.
As for Viktor?
He slept alone in the bedroom, of course.
Days passed by, and Viktor's reputation as a genius gradually faded in the years after his marriage to Gwen.
No one heard anything more about Victor's breakthrough.
It was as if after becoming a fourth-tier mage, he had remained in this area without any further significant improvement.
This is actually quite normal, so normal that countless mages breathed a sigh of relief.
You should know that Viktor's previous rate of improvement was truly abnormal.
Whose normal mage reaches level 1 at age 5, level 3 at age 15, and level 4 at age 25?
It's a good thing that he's quiet now; it means that Viktor is at least still normal.
However, some people will always feel sorry that Viktor's abilities have not improved.
After all, having heard the name of genius for so long, many people still expect Viktor to create even more miracles.
But Viktor seemed unaffected by the outside world, continuing to live a peaceful and orderly life on his own.
Read books, teach the little princess, and return home on time every night to deliver the grain.
But this peaceful and orderly life finally changed one day.
That was Tisnato's funeral.
That day, dark clouds obscured the sun, and everything seemed shrouded in shadow, silent and still.
Even the rustling of the treetops in the wind sounded sharp and desolate, bringing a bone-chilling cold.
A large crowd, dressed in black, attended the funeral of the patriarch of the Clevina family.
They gathered around the tombstone, their expressions varied.
Some showed obvious sadness and grief, while others, taking advantage of the fact that no one was watching, were overjoyed.
There was nothing that could be done, even though Tisnato had many comrades.
But he has offended quite a few people, and many people have been bullied by him.
Compared to his son Victor, Tisnato was the one with the worst reputation.
Especially the noble mages, who could hardly contain their joy at the death of Tisnato.
At least, their treasured magic books will no longer be "borrowed" without a reason.
A warrior borrowed so many magic books just to raise his son.
And you know what? He actually managed to train him into one.
Everyone knew this as early as when Victor became a third-tier mage at the age of 15.
The person the Clavner family needs to focus on most now is no longer Tisnato, but his son Victor.
No one could have predicted how brilliant the future achievements of such a genius mage would be.
Therefore, these mages had no intention of getting back the spellbooks they had lent out.
Consider it a gift to Victor, to remember their kindness.
At this time
Lia and Victor stood silently before Tisnato's coffin.
Lia lowered her head, tears still wet on her eyes, and stared blankly at Tisnato's coffin.
When she learned of Tisnato's death, she had almost cried all her tears.
Tisnato's death was undoubtedly the most heartbreaking blow to Lia.
That was her biological father.
Claire also knew that Tisnato's early death was inevitable.
Warriors are inherently short-lived, and those who live past sixty are considered to have taken good care of themselves.
Especially Tisnato, as the most valiant warrior in the empire, whose fearless fighting style struck fear into the hearts of the enemy.
Even on the battlefield, Tisnato had nearly exhausted his life force.
He won't live to sixty, and even fifty is a struggle.
Therefore, rather than saying that Tisnato's death was unexpected, it was more accurate to say that it was an expected outcome.
His life was not going to be long.
Nevertheless, the moment the coffin was slowly lowered into the tomb...
Lia was still heartbroken and threw herself into Victor's arms in grief.
Her voice seemed choked with intense grief, her words broken, trembling, and choked with sobs.
"Brother...you're all I have left."
Victor gently patted Lydia's back to comfort her.
But his gaze never left Tisnato's tombstone.
Indeed, Tisnato's death also caused Victor a deep sense of sorrow.
This was, after all, his father in name only.
