Earl Laureen stood outside the corridor, blocking Priscilla's path, his face grave.
The magnificent cane was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a slender sword blade, the top of which was still inlaid with precious and dazzling gemstones.
He raised his longsword, stood amidst the flames, and slashed down every fire serpent that dared to approach.
"Misunderstand?"
At the same time, Victor put his hands in his pockets and looked at the count.
“Count Laureen, this is your territory.”
"A ghost appeared in your place, and you're telling me it's a misunderstanding?"
At this point, Victor looked up and glanced at the red health bar that appeared above Count Laureen's head.
The moment he appeared and cleaved the flames, the opponent had already entered battle mode.
Once in combat, the opponent's health bar and level are clearly visible.
Lv45
This level is equivalent to that of a standard, powerful fourth-tier kingdom warrior.
Compared to others, he is already very strong.
but……
Earl Laureen's aura rose slightly, and with a flick of his jeweled rapier, the fiery serpent flew out along with the blade, leaving a trail of sparks.
Then, he took a few breaths, turned around, and glanced at the "girl" leaning against the wall.
She seemed still frightened by the flames and hid by the wall, too afraid to move.
“Priscilla, you’ve gotten yourself into trouble.”
Laurie knew perfectly well that she could not possibly be a match for Victor.
This congressman's power is unfathomable.
Therefore, he chose to apologize proactively.
Laureen voluntarily sheathed her longsword and placed it back into her cane.
He leaned on his cane and bowed deeply to Victor.
"I apologize to you for my daughter's rudeness."
This can no longer be considered aristocratic etiquette.
A count from a kingdom bowed his straight back in front of someone from another country.
He did this solely to make up for his daughter's mistake.
Victor naturally didn't pursue the matter further.
"For your sake, Earl Laureen."
His imposing aura dissipated slightly, and the red stripes on the back of his trench coat gradually faded away.
The temperature finally dropped, giving Priscilla a chance to lift her head.
She raised her pale, almost bloodless face and looked at her father's back.
Finally, she managed to stand up with difficulty.
The tattered dress seemed beyond repair, unable to conceal her bare legs.
She lowered her head and bowed deeply to Victor.
Her voice trembled slightly with a sob.
“I’m sorry… Victor, sir.”
After saying that, she didn't linger for a moment and quickly fled the scene along the surrounding corridors.
At the corner, Aurelion witnessed her departure.
When I saw her empty lower body, I felt a chill run down my spine.
Her face immediately turned even paler than Priscilla's had been.
"Aurelian".
A reassuring voice sounded from the side, and Aurelion snapped out of her daze.
Teacher Victor's gaze had already followed hers.
"Come here."
She rushed to Victor's side as if she had grasped at a lifeline.
"teacher!"
Aurelion grasped the hem of Victor's trench coat, and only relaxed after feeling the reassuring, familiar scent.
This is so bizarre! How can such a ghost-like person exist?
As if sensing Aurelion's fear, Earl Laurean also bowed to her.
"I'm so sorry, Your Highness, my daughter must have frightened you."
"You should have noticed as well that she is not a living being, but merely a wandering ghost, unable to leave this mansion even a step."
"But rest assured, she has never done anything to hurt anyone."
Upon hearing this, Aurelion blinked.
The fear in my heart lessened a bit.
Instead, there was curiosity and a slight feeling of pity for the girl.
"Unable to leave this mansion?"
Why?
She gradually started thinking about herself.
She had never left the palace.
Aurelion was timid and didn't know how to get along with others.
They had never even heard of the prosperity of the outside world.
If she hadn't met Professor Victor, she could hardly have imagined it.
She never imagined she would end up like this, even leaving the empire where she had lived for so long and coming to a foreign land.
However, the situation of Earl Laureen's daughter was not the same as hers.
Perhaps the other person wants to go out.
But she couldn't leave this place.
Thinking about this, she felt that the other person seemed somewhat pitiful.
Before she could think too much, Victor's voice rang in her ears.
"Aurelian, go back to your room and rest."
Aurelion was taken aback:
"But, but..."
She thought that Mr. Victor wanted her to go back to the room she had come from.
She finally found this place after a lot of trouble.
The thought of having to walk back through the corridor seemed too far.
And then there's Earl Laureen's daughter, who knows where she might appear from.
The fear that had just subsided surged back into Aurelion's heart.
Aurelion hurriedly grabbed Victor's sleeve, her voice soft and gentle.
"No...don't leave..."
