The agile figure bypassed the countless guards at the door of the Cravenna mansion and completely hid himself in the dark.

She climbed up to the second floor skillfully and opened the bedroom window.

In her bedroom, Leah was quietly reading a book on the bed.

The figure climbed in through the window, closed the window, and came in front of Leah.

The pointed ears on both sides of the person showed her identity.

Leah asked lightly without raising her head.

"Did you bring the person here?"

Leon nodded.

"There are too many guards outside, so I put Chu Er in the basement of the prop store."

She tilted her head and looked at Leah, feeling a little strange.

Why did Miss Leah start reading a book?

"I understand a little bit why Victor loves reading so much."

Liya slowly closed the book in her hand, put it on the cabinet beside her, and explained lightly:

"Books can make me calm down temporarily, which is very helpful for thinking about things."

Lion stared at Liya with admiration, and admired in her heart:

As expected of Miss Liya, she can stay calm at such a time.

Liya asked the elf in front of her as if she was casually talking about it.

"Liya, if the eldest prince really comes to me to propose marriage, what do you think is good for us?"

"Don't worry."

Liya was slightly stunned, holding her chin and thinking.

She naturally knew that Jessler wanted the eldest prince to propose marriage to Miss Liya.

Soon, Liion gave her answer.

She told Liya straightforwardly: "I don't like it."

Liya was stunned for a moment when she heard Liion's answer.

"What do you mean?"

Lion answered Leah's doubts very straightforwardly:

"I don't know what benefits marriage can bring, but I just don't want Miss Leah to marry into the royal family."

Listening to Leon's answer, Leah smiled gently.

"The royal family is so noble, there are many girls who are eager to marry the prince."

Of course, she is definitely not one of them.

If Leah wanted to get married so much, she would have left the Cravenner family long ago.

Liya smiled helplessly.

"Jace Reiser just put the trap in front of me."

This is a clear plot.

Jace Reiser wanted to let her marry the eldest prince and tie the Cravenner family to the eldest prince's chariot.

Everyone knows that this will not be allowed by the second prince.

And Victor has become the princess's teacher. Under the manipulation of Emperor Aubrey, Cravenner should not support either of the two princes.

Through this incident, Jace Reiser made Victor attract the resentment of the second prince, and by the way, made the emperor disappointed in Victor.

Leah obviously understood all these things, but what made her feel a little suffocated was.

On the surface, Leah could not disobey the proposal of the eldest prince.

She was just a family member who had no title and was forced to rely on the Cravenner family.

It was her blessing that the eldest prince liked her, so if the eldest prince really came to propose marriage and Victor did not respond, Leah could only agree.

At the beginning, Leah believed that if Victor was smart, he would definitely refuse.

But she found out later.

If this is the case, it means that Victor took the initiative to announce that he would never support the eldest prince.

Then the direction of who to support will quickly shift to the second prince.

The Cravenner family was forced to oppose the eldest prince, because Victor was the princess's private tutor, so he could not support the second prince.

Although they did not support any side, they, Klevner, became the target of public criticism.

If it were not for the Duke's visit today, she would not have even noticed this.

So, whether she agreed or not, it would eventually lead to a result, that is, Victor would inevitably have conflicts and confrontations with the two princes.

So which side would Victor choose in the past?

Liya circled and drew on the book, and finally circled the brush on the "big prince".

Interests.

If he had to oppose one side, he would definitely oppose the second prince.

Because now it seems that the big prince is the most advantageous, because he is the one who took the initiative to ask for marriage.

"But that was before."

Liya tore the pages of the book, and the red gem on the wizard's hand slightly showed magic, burning the paper in her hand into ashes.

She would not give her life to anyone.

...

In the early morning, the flaw light finally broke through the darkness and shone on the capital.

At this time, all the people in the capital were preparing to open shops and work.

Inside the palace, everyone was also waiting, waiting for the court meeting to begin.

Emperor Aubrey slowly sat on the throne and looked at the ministers below.

Jess.Led by Reiser, a group of ministers stood on one side.

On the other side stood the second prince.

He also led a group of ministers who supported him.

Standing next to the emperor was Duke Levi.

Emperor Aubrey nodded to the ministers below, indicating that the court meeting could begin.

After getting permission, Jace Reiser spoke first:

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the First Prince has returned with great achievements this time."

"His Royal Highness killed a demon dragon that has troubled the empire for a long time at the border, and made great contributions. He wants to bring the dragon head back to publicize the peace."

The second prince just stood aside and quietly watched Jace Reiser's praise, smiling without saying a word.

Emperor Aubrey did not speak, and only heard Jess Reiser continue to say:

"The eldest prince has not married yet, but now that His Highness has entered his thirties, it is time to consider the issue of starting a family."

"As for a spouse, I have a recommendation."

"That is, Earl Victor's sister..."

Before he finished speaking, Gwen came in from outside the court, wearing armor and a long sword on her waist.

"Lord Gwen! We haven't reported to His Majesty yet!"

Following closely behind Gwen were two eunuchs, who followed Gwen all the way and crawled behind her, anxiously admonishing her.

But now Gwen has come to the emperor.

She led a dusty man in her hand and threw him to the center of the palace.

Everyone looked at the man who was thrown into the palace and looked at each other.

Someone couldn't help asking.

"Who is this man?"

"This man is called Chul, a soldier from the Kingdom of Kant. He changed his identity and sneaked into the Empire, becoming a grain merchant and infiltrating the Clevenna family."

"His goal is to assassinate Victor and his sister Leah."

"But he failed, and was captured by Victor's sister instead."

When the ministers in the court heard this, they all took a deep breath.

Before, Victor was a viscount, and a powerful viscount with a territory.

However, such a nobleman actually had soldiers from the Kingdom of Kant mixed in?

The severity of this matter makes it hard not to wonder whether there are people in the Empire who are in contact with the Kingdom of Kant.

And the assassination point is just when Victor becomes an earl and his strength ranks among the ranks of fourth-level mages.

Many people can't help but look at Jace Reiser.

Why?

Before this, no matter how unhappy the nobles who were always present were with Victor, they would never ask someone to assassinate Victor.

Because Victor is from the Empire, the grievances of the Empire should be resolved by the Empire itself.

What does it mean for a Kingdom person to sneak in?

So who has a grudge against Victor recently, and who has this motive?

These nobles who looked at Jace Reiser didn't say a word.

But they have made it clear their current attitude towards Reiser.

Jace Reiser felt many malicious eyes looking at him, like dozens of sharp needles piercing him.

The emperor raised his eyes, looked at Gwen, and said the first sentence:

"Where is the child now."

"Your Majesty, Leah is waiting outside the palace."

Emperor Aubrey nodded and said:

"Let her in."

At the emperor's call, several guards brought Leah into the palace.

She stood in front of the emperor, and in the eyes of everyone, she bowed slightly to the emperor on the throne.

"Your Majesty."

Emperor Aubrey waved his hand,

"No need to be polite."

After that, he stared at Leah and smiled.

"Okay, I'm glad you're fine."

"Otherwise, I, an old man, can't stand Victor coming to me to make trouble."

Everyone present heard the emperor's closeness, and his appreciation for Victor even affected his sister.

Love the house and the dog.

Leah slowly stood up and glanced at Jace Reiser.

There seemed to be a strong sense of ridicule in her eyes.

But this ridicule was fleeting, and no one noticed Leah's expression in this sudden situation.

Following the emperor's eye signal, a wizard slowly stepped forward and used the crystal ball in his hand to guide the fainted Chul.

The mark slowly appeared on the crystal ball, then turned red and dissipated.

The wizard turned around and said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, he is indeed not from the Empire, and he has a strong blood."

The strong blood means that the other party is a warrior, and his strength is not weak.

This basically proves the authenticity of Leah's words.

Let's not talk about whether this warrior intends to assassinate Victor's family. Just the fact that such a powerful warrior from outside the Empire has infiltrated the Empire is worth investigating.

Duke Wei then went on to say appropriately beside the emperor:

"Your Majesty, this matter should be thoroughly investigated."

The emperor nodded, said "hmm", and smiled at Leah.

"Child, come to me."

Liya bowed to the emperor again and slowly walked to the emperor's side.

Looking at Leah who came forward, the emperor smiled and said:

"Your brother is Aurelian's teacher. You don't have to be restrained by me."

"I will investigate this matter. You have also made a great contribution by capturing such a kingdom warrior."

Everyone present noticed the emperor's words.

He emphasized the relationship between the princess and Victor, which was a warning to everyone present.

Don't put your little tricks on me.

Klevenna will not support either side.

No one noticed that Jace Reiser clenched his fists slightly.

Why?

Why can the emperor be so good to these two people?

We are royal relatives, and Devin and I are your nephews!

The seed of jealousy was buried in the bottom of his heart, and slowly took root and sprouted in Jace Reiser's heart.

Suddenly, the emperor looked at Jace Reiser and asked:

"Speaking of which, you had something to say just now."

"Go on."

Jace Reiser was stunned. At this moment, he became the one being roasted on the fire.

Victor's sister had just been assassinated, and he mentioned the marriage between the eldest prince and her...

Isn't that asking for trouble?

"Your Majesty, I..."

Jace Reiser opened his mouth, and the words were like a boulder blocking his throat, and he couldn't say anything.

The old emperor sighed and said lightly:

"Come out, Victor."

"Tell him if you have anything to say."

Victor?

Everyone present was in deep confusion.

Where is Victor here?

As their doubts arose, the palace suddenly became green and full of vitality.

Wild flowers and weeds gradually covered the entire floor, and the winding vines gradually climbed to the top of the palace. The surrounding golden pillars were entangled with vines.

A cluster of flowers that appeared behind everyone gradually made a strange movement, and as the flowers gradually faded away.

Victor gradually revealed his figure.

He appeared in front of everyone out of thin air and shook the windbreaker behind him.

Victor at this moment was completely different from the last time.

If Victor last time was full of terror and majesty, then Victor at this moment was full of coldness and elegance.

But it still made people feel a mysterious sense of distance.

His figure disappeared in an instant, and he appeared behind Jace like a ghost.

Victor leaned close to Jace's ear, his eyes cold, and said slowly:

"There are some things I didn't tell you in advance, maybe you thought you had a chance."

"But now, I want you to remember it forever."

As Victor spoke, several vines suddenly wrapped around Jace's neck, getting tighter and tighter.

Jace immediately struggled, desperately tearing the thick vines on his neck.

His face gradually turned red, and his hands moved more flustered.

But only Victor's cold voice could be heard;

"Stay away from the people around me."

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in shock.

Victor suddenly appeared, and his warning words.

Even Gwen and Leah looked confused and puzzled.

Why did Victor suddenly appear?

As if they realized something, several nobles standing behind Jace Reiser shouted hurriedly.

"Victor! Are you crazy!"

"Are you going to kill someone in the palace?"

Victor glanced at the man coldly, and the other party was like a chicken that suddenly drowned, with its throat strangled, and dared not say another word.

But he did not kill anyone, and the vines gradually retreated from Jessresser's body.

He touched his neck and gasped heavily.

The long period of not being able to breathe caused his eyes to be full of bloodshot, and the scarlet color was particularly scary.

"Victor!"

Jess's voice was a little hoarse, but he was not afraid.

At this moment, the jealousy in his heart turned into extreme rage, and he wanted to tear the man in front of him to pieces with his own hands.

But he couldn't do it, he could only suppress his anger and pretend to look at Victor calmly.

"What grudge do I have against you?"

Victor seemed to have vented all his anger and pulled his collar elegantly.

"Mr. Jess, before we talk about your grudge against me, I hope you can face up to the gap between you and me."

Jess felt puzzled and doubtful, and accordingly, this doubt spread to everyone in the palace except the emperor..

As if by accident, a round silver logo appeared on Victor's collar.

The three broken heads on it seemed to reveal some mysterious identity.

In Jace's angry eyes, Victor said lightly, as if mocking and despising him.

"Please call me, Senator Cravener."
