Gwen walked into the door with her head lowered and a worried look.
Without noticing, she bumped into a soft body.
Gwen was stunned for a moment and raised her head.
"Sister...sister!?"
"Long time no see, little Gwen~"
The smiling woman in front of her is her eldest sister, Kefla Delin.
She was a beauty with a different style from Gwen, with long lavender hair, picturesque eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, flowing eyes, and an air of elegance and nobility in every move and every move she made.
As noble and elegant as a violet.
Gwen's impression of her eldest sister was still stuck in the past.
At that time, Kefla's hair was still the same silver-white color as hers.
'Did she dye her hair? '
Gwen was a little curious.
But it is undeniable that after staying in the family for so many years, the relationship between the two sisters is very good.
Even after seeing each other for a long time, Gwen could not hide her surprise.
There was a smile on her face, and her temperament was completely different from before.
"When you see your sister, don't you plan to hug her?"
Kefla stretched out her arms and smiled at her.
Just like the bright moon at night, whoever comes here feels close to the person in front of them.
Gwen blushed and nodded, giving her sister a big hug.
At this time, Kefla still asked with a smile:
"I just heard from the servant that you came back in someone else's carriage. Who was that person?"
"Sister...Sister!"
Gwen stamped her foot, looking sulky.
Kefla saw her like this and nodded as if she knew everything.
"Hmm, I know it without you having to tell me. That was Victor just now, right?"
Gwen lowered her head and said nothing.
Her brain was a little confused. She had only understood Victor's thoughts before, but her sister, whom she hadn't seen for several years, suddenly appeared to tease her.
What happened today?
"Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I haven't seen Victor for a long time, and I don't know if he still looks like a stinker."
"Would you like to take some time to visit?"
Kefla was talking to herself there, Gwen turned around and thought about it, and couldn't help but asked curiously:
"Sister, why are you here in the capital?"
"Oh? Of course I miss my lovely sister~"
Kefla took Gwen into her arms and rubbed her, but Gwen pushed her away angrily.
"You know I can tell the real from the fake."
"Well, I can't lie to you after all."
"You actually use your powers on your family. You are so merciless. Little Gwen has learned badly."
Kefla stuck out her tongue, then got serious.
"Although I originally planned to come to the Royal Capital, I heard from my friends that something happened in the Royal Capital recently, so I came early."
"You have no influence, right?"
Gwen shook her head and said:
"The ones who have a greater influence are mainly Duke Levi and Victor."
Kefla tilted her head, a glimmer of obvious doubt flashed in her eyes.
"Huh? Why is Victor involved with Duke Levi?"
Gwen chose her words and told Kefla about everything she had encountered during this period.
…
"What!? The volcano almost erupted? Is there a volcano god hiding under the mountain? A monster of that level was defeated by Victor?"
"Damn it, if it weren't for something happening at home, I would obviously want to participate in such an exciting thing!"
"Be sure to call me next time you have a chance!"
Listening to Gwen's story, Kefla's eyes sparkled.
She bit her lip, and it was obvious that she was very unwilling to participate in this matter.
Gwen felt helpless when she saw this.
"Sister, how could something like that happen again?"
"Even if there is, I don't want to encounter it again."
Kefla used a mature tone to educate her seriously:
"You don't understand, Gwen, this is a rare adventure."
"Although the risk is great, it also comes with opportunities."
Hearing Kefla's words, Gwen was slightly startled, and suddenly thought of Victor who showed such posture and strength in the palace today.
"……opportunity?"
"Yes, it's an opportunity."
Kefla hugged her chest, nodded seriously, and said: "If you want to become stronger, it cannot be said that it is unrealistic to just rely on simple exercise, but the slow results can also be prohibitive."
"I'm not worried that you will give up..."
Kefla said something else, but Gwen didn't hear it.
Victor suddenly became so strong. Could it be that he also got some rare opportunity?
Suddenly, Kefla's voice came.
"So, the Duke stopped his war magic for the sake of his daughter... Then maybe I should thank him."
Gwen was a little confused. In the interest of the empire, if the volcano erupted, the damage would be unimaginable.
This is the premise that Victor succeeds, but what if he fails?
Sister should think about the interests of the family and the capital.
Kefla saw what Gwen was thinking, sighed, and hit Gwen on the head with her fist.
Gwen was in pain, covering her head, and a few tears of disappointment flowed out from the pain.
"Sister, don't you know how strong you are?"
"Sorry, sorry, sister just can't bear it."
Kefla then rubbed Gwen’s head lovingly and comforted:
"But think about it, you were on the mountain at that time, and if the Duke unleashed war magic."
"How will my sister face you in front of the grave after that?"
Gwen was startled, she had never thought about this problem.
At that time, it wasn't just Erica who was standing at the top of the mountain.
She who went after Erica was also there.
As Kefla said.
Fortunately, the magic formation was led by the Duke, and he stopped the war magic.
Once the magic is released, she will not be immune.
At this time, Gwen thought of Victor's words again.
It was because of her that he defeated the volcano god.
Without even knowing it.
"Victor...really saved me..."
Gwen's heart became more and more confused, and she began to be unable to distinguish her current mood, and her expression gradually became complicated.
"What's wrong? Are you thinking about something?"
Kefla looked at Gwen with a smile, and her eyes were still sweeping over Gwen's head.
Hmm...she probably didn't use much force.
It shouldn't hurt.
Gwen shook his head. Since he had accepted the kindness from others, there was no reason not to repay it.
After thinking everything through, she was no longer so entangled.
Kefla nodded with a smile, and suddenly said as if she thought of something.
"Ah! Since little Gwen hasn't taken off her armor yet, would you like to spar with your sister for a while? We haven't fought against each other in so many years!"
Gwen looked at Kefla with some surprise, some doubt and some reluctance.
"Sister? You?"
Before she could say anything more, Kefla took Gwen's hand and walked to the training ground.
"Let's go, let's go! Let's go to the training ground!"
"Don't you need to wear protective gear?"
"No, no, no!"
…
"Hoo, ho..."
Gwen knelt on one knee, barely holding up a sword with one hand to prevent herself from collapsing.
She was sweating profusely and almost exhausted.
On the other hand, look at Kefla on the opposite side.
What he was holding was just the sword used by ordinary knights, and he was not wearing any armor.
As a result, she looked relaxed, as if she didn't use her full strength at all.
Kevlar stretched his waist, put the knight's sword back into its scabbard, and hung it on the wall again.
"Hmm~ha! It's been a long time since I've had a good time! I feel good, I feel good~"
Gwen stood up reluctantly and suddenly asked:
"Sister, why did you choose to give up the path of knighthood?"
"Um?"
Kefla turned back and put a hand on her chin, as if thinking carefully.
"It must be helpless."
"After all, my talent is needed at home."
Gwen's heart sank.
her sister, Kefla Derling.
As the eldest sister in the family, she has outstanding talents and powerful strength. As early as ten years ago, she already had the strength to rival the Royal Knight Commander.
However, my sister gave up martial arts.
She started to aim at entering politics again, continued to learn social skills, and wandered among the political circles.
This is also a kind of helplessness.
As the Delin family, which is very powerful in the military aspect of the empire, they need a leader who can stand firm in the political world and lead the family to avoid crises.
Even though his father's disciples are all over the world, there are still some people who regard the Delin family as a thorn in their side.
Kefla has a cheerful personality, outstanding emotional intelligence, and strong social skills. She is a beauty that everyone loves.
Quite the opposite of Victor.
So, Kefla Delin put down her beloved weapon and became a sacrifice for her family.
Underneath her cheerful appearance, there may be unspeakable pain hidden.
"But something is wrong, little Gwen."
Suddenly, her sister's voice pulled Gwen out of her thoughts.
She blinked, confused.
Kefla looked at her and said distressedly:
"To be honest, when I came to the capital this time, I was also somewhat interested in your strength."
"You...seem to have made no progress at all."
Hearing what her sister said, Gwen tightened her grip on the sword in her hand.
She really couldn't defeat her eldest sister, even though her sister had given up on the path of knighthood for many years.
However, if her strength has not improved in recent years, she is not convinced.
Kefla suddenly said:
"No, little Gwen, if you continue like this, your father will most likely call you home for additional training. What should we do?"
Kefla, who pretended to be distressed, kept her eyes rolling for a week, observing Gwen's expression.
"Yes!"
Gwen raised her head and looked at Kefla.
Kefla seemed to have thought of a perfect solution and said:
"Why don't you find a good day quickly, and you and Victor will get married immediately!"
"This way my father will definitely allow you to stay here!"
Gwen blinked.
"ha?"
