The golden scales were suspended in the air, swinging up and down on both sides, as if they were sizing up the mysterious person approaching them.
Aurelion looked at the golden scale in front of her and thought slowly:
In the legendary story, there once was a goddess with a strong sense of justice. She landed in the world and used the balance to measure the right and wrong of human beings.
But the battles in the world eventually affected her. The constant wars made the gods no longer have any hope for humans. Only the goddess of justice still wanted to believe in humans.
However, the disputes continued, and human beings continued to kill each other needlessly without any reflection. The goddess of justice finally gave up hope and disappeared with Libra.
But in the mythical story, it is never mentioned that the scale of the goddess of justice finally stayed with Endymion.
Now it seems that Endymion actually has the protection of the legendary goddess of justice.
Aurelion's mind suddenly became much clearer.
It seems that the Master Council believes in the goddess of justice.
Aurelion studied the golden scales carefully for a moment.
But apart from seeing some residual magic power on it, she couldn't feel any other breath at all.
Aurelion shook her head, perhaps because what she saw in front of her was not very attractive to her.
This 'god' creation, no one can take it away unless it is a recognized person.
She glanced at the scales one last time, turned around, and slowly left the dark tunnel.
The golden scale slowly became balanced as Aurelion left.
The light above also gradually dimmed.
…
Time passed quickly, and Aurelion, who was really tired standing there, didn't care whether her clothes would get dirty.
She followed her long skirt and sat on the floating rocks, watching the fantastic clouds in the distance changing shapes.
Aurelion was surprised to see this.
Soon, the color of the sky gradually became darker, and the swirling nebulae did not know when they climbed up the curtain. Only then did Aurelion realize that she had spent a full day here.
"……Um?"
So she has already left the palace with her teacher for a day?
Before this, she had never thought about leaving the palace for the night.
Aurelion yawned, lying on the floating rocks, looking at the dreamy sky, her eyes seemed to be filled with stars.
"The feeling of freedom."
"really not bad."
…
Cravenna House.
At the gate outside the courtyard, the royal guards in iron armor were still waiting for the princess' return.
They have been waiting here for a day and a night.
As long as the princess doesn't come back, they won't leave here for a moment.
At this time, Liya was sitting at the desk, holding her face with one hand, thinking distressedly, her mind filled with confusion and confusion.
Where did Victor go?
Even if he disappeared, why did he take the princess with him?
How should I explain to the royal family now?
She really couldn't understand what Victor was thinking.
Gwen, who was sitting aside, patted her on the shoulder, sighed, and began to persuade:
"Liya, relax."
"Victor did something similar last time, and the princess came back intact."
"After all, he is the princess's teacher. I believe he has a sense of propriety."
Listening to Gwen's comforting words, Liya glanced at Gwen doubtfully and asked:
"Didn't you hate Victor the most before?"
Her eyes were fixed on Gwen. Gwen was a little surprised by the rhetorical question. He couldn't help turning his head and said in a very soft voice.
"Well...at least he looks normal now."
So you think he was abnormal before?
Liya sighed slightly.
Last night, when Hernie learned that Victor had disappeared with the princess, she was very worried.
Even when I went to the prop shop to help out this morning, I seemed a little distracted.
Seeing Heni's look, Liya understood a lot.
There are really many girls who are attracted to that bastard Victor.
"Gwen."
Thinking of this, Liya looked at Gwen again.
Strictly speaking, she has felt that Gwen and Victor were not suitable at all since she was a child.
After all, the two of them have always looked down upon each other since childhood.
Gwen hates Victor's hypocrisy, and Victor hates Gwen's justice.
But now it seems that the relationship between the two has taken a turn for the better.
However……
"You're not in a hurry at all."
Liya sighed helplessly.
"Afraid? Why are you so anxious?"
Gwen was a little confused, she didn't understand what Liya meant.
Liya didn't say a word, she could only complain silently in her heart:
Victor took the princess away for a day and a night, and the two of them were alone for the whole night.
Who could have imagined what would happen between the two of them?
Victor was so courageous that he dared to leave the royal capital with the princess and never came back for a day.
If he hadn't been deeply trusted by Emperor Aubrey, I'm afraid the arrest warrant would have been delivered to his doorstep by now.
No matter how scary it is, I have already been caught and cried behind bars.
Now it seems that the old emperor almost completely acquiesced in the princess's contact with Victor.
There was a knock on the door, and Celia walked into the study.
She held a royal letter in her hand, stood in front of Gwen, and read it.
"Knight Commander Gwen and Dean Rachel have reported the whereabouts of Victor and Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"The princess was taken to the magic city by Victor."
As a member of the Magic Parliament, Rachel naturally knew about the Parliament's invitation to Victor.
I also received news from Helm that Victor had arrived at Endymion with the princess.
However, I don’t know what’s going on recently.
No matter how he sent a message to Heim, he never got a reply from the other party.
It's like I'm doing something and can't find the time.
Gwen said happily beside Liya:
"Look, you can rest assured now."
Liya still looked troubled, thinking.
With Victor's reputation, no one dared to take this opportunity to find fault with the Cravenna family at this time.
This is unreasonable.
Now it seems that Victor's behavior can indeed be assured, and he has taken care of everything.
Even when he left with the princess, he deliberately exposed all his actions in front of the royal family.
The purpose is to make the royal family feel completely at ease with themselves.
However, there will always be people who will cling to this matter, and Victor cannot avoid this.
tread! tread! tread!
There was a sound of cavalry's footsteps outside the door of Cravenna's mansion, uniformly.
As the horse beneath him also stopped and neighed, a man in gorgeous clothes slowly stepped out of the carriage in the middle of the cavalry.
Jess Lesser.
Riya narrowed her eyes when she heard the maid's report about the visitor.
Sure enough, at this time, how could no one come to make trouble.
She didn't know if Jace Lesser knew about Victor taking the princess to the mage capital.
But Leah was more inclined to think Jace knew about it.
As both businessmen, Liya knew something about Jace.
His information network is very rich, so the other party must be well prepared.
Liya stood up and walked out of the mansion.
After all, he was the eldest son of the Leiser family, and he still needed to greet him in person.
Liya stepped forward and led Jace to the conference room with a smile.
Leah and Gwen sat on one side, while Jace Lesser sat across from them.
"Long time no see, Miss Liya."
"You are getting more and more beautiful."
Liya interrupted Jace's compliment. She sat with her legs stacked on top of each other, leaned on the sofa, and said straight to the point:
"Let's open up the skylight and speak frankly."
Jess Lesser is a businessman, but Liya is also a businessman. She knows what Jess Lesser needs when he comes to visit at this time.
"If nothing else, the families who wanted to buy the blue potion a few days ago were the ones you prepared."
"I won't be polite to you. After all, you know clearly what grudges our two families have. Tell me, what do you want to talk about this time?"
Jaceless responded with a smile.
"I still have the right to sell the magical potion. I just want to win-win with you, dear Miss Liya."
Liya smiled coldly and responded sharply:
"I don't believe that businessmen are driven by profit. You would owe so much just to be a scapegoat and give money to our family."
Hearing her words, Jace laughed. He did not continue talking to Liya, but looked at Gwen.
"Is this Mr. Victor's fiancée?"
Gwen didn't respond and looked at the person in front of him coldly.
The aura about Jace made Gwen feel terrible.
However, Jess Reiser did not shut up because of Gwen's attitude and continued to say with a smile:
"If it was before, then I did treat you with some prejudice and arrogance. I can admit this."
"But it's completely different now, Miss Leah."
Jace smiled brightly.
"You may become a royal relative."
Liya's face darkened slightly.
It turned out that Jesse Lesser was waiting for her here.
But she was already prepared and said calmly.
"You mean the princess? Then Mr. Jess should have known about it for a long time."
"My brother, as the teacher of Her Highness the Princess, only brought Her Highness to the Magic City to learn magic. Your Majesty knows this."
"Besides, Victor has a fiancée."
She smiled slightly, a slightly dangerous smile.
As if signaling something, Gwen on the side looked at Jess Lesser with cold eyes.
"Public opinion cannot be influenced by Victor, Mr. Jess. He will not be swayed by public opinion, and neither will the royal family."
"If you want to use the excuse that the princess and Victor have not returned after being away for a day, then I want to ask you."
Liya's aggressive words reached Jace's ears, making Jace frown slightly.
"Have you never had a teacher? Or did your teacher also admire your butt?"
Her words were vicious enough to make people angry.
Although what Liya said was very sharp, Jace just looked at her lightly, chuckled, and said slowly as if to remind her:
"Miss Liya, I never mentioned Her Highness the Princess, I just wanted to tell you."
"His Royal Highness, the eldest prince, has not yet been married."
