finally,
The banquet ended with a monster called a cultist suddenly appearing and being suppressed by Victor.
Ended hastily.
The relatives of the nobles burst into tears after hearing the news of their deaths.
The members of their family were barely identified through the bodies that shriveled into skins.
Several young men in luxurious clothes stumbled over to the corpses.
They grabbed the skin of their old man's body and cried loudly while suppressing the corners of their mouths that couldn't help but rise.
They packed up the poor skins of their family heads and left the splendid banquet palace with heavy steps.
Victor stood at the door, holding the staff with the golden bird's head.
I watched the family members holding their bodies and leaving one after another.
In fact, from the very beginning, when entering this banquet hall.
Victor has already activated [The Scales of Justice].
The appearance of those cultists was determined.
Finally, they were attracted by the goddess's power and crawled out of the bodies of the nobles who had died long ago.
They would have died long ago.
From the beginning, these believers possessed these nobles.
After those filthy cultists left their bodies.
They turned into shriveled corpses that were unrecognizable.
Just like the Delin family in the past, the cultist who possessed Gwen's brother was exactly the same.
Although the status of these dead nobles was not very high.
Most of them are just honorary barons and viscounts.
Their life and death cannot affect the foundation of the empire at all.
This shows that the believers of the goddess have not penetrated the royal capital deeply enough.
After all, this is the royal capital, at the feet of the emperor.
It is difficult for cultists to develop here.
But this also shows how persistent these dirty believers are.
These believers appeared even in the royal capital.
Then, in other cities in the empire, believers may hide deeper.
The nobles' moods were extremely complicated, like a tangled mess, and they left one by one with frowns and sad faces.
Even if they are not in the same lineup on weekdays, they don't like each other.
At this time, I also let go of the usual hatred caused by different stances.
Things developed too quickly and suddenly.
Even this banquet was held suddenly.
I'm afraid even the two princes don't know.
Today, His Majesty Aubrey actually handed over the throne to Aurelion publicly.
This is good, the nobles no longer need to take sides.
If you think about it carefully, apart from her gender, Aurelion already has the background and qualifications that an heir should have.
Let’s talk about qualifications first.
Although Erica's genius is too striking to be ignored.
But if you look carefully, you will find it.
Aurelion's qualifications are definitely not bad.
She was only fifteen years old, and after a while, Aurelion, who had completely celebrated her birthday, would be sixteen.
At the age of sixteen, Aurelion had already become a second-level mage.
Her promotion speed is also not slow.
After all, Erica became a second-level mage just this time last year.
Let’s talk about power.
The military power is provided by the Delin family of northern knights, and the power is supported by the Cravenna family.
The teacher is the famous strongest member of the Mages Council, Victor, and the head of the Northern Knights family, Gwen Delin.
With these supports, the power behind Aurelion has become very powerful.
However, this is not the end.
Aurelion even had the support of the Mages' Council.
Although the Mage Council is indeed a neutral organization.
But this organization also has two imperial mages.
Rachel Celeste and Victor Cravener.
These two congressmen are legitimate Imperial people.
Two Imperial councilors openly supported Aurelion.
Plus the influence of the Mages Council.
Aurelion's status has been recognized internationally.
This is already one level higher than the two princes.
and……
There was an outrageous guess that they never dared to say.
Keep it up like this.
The Council of Mages is about to become Victor's.
Who is Victor? She is Aurelion Sol's teacher!
Is it reasonable for the Mages Council to support Aurelion?
So damn reasonable!
The nobles recognized the reality, unless one of the two princes could make some amazing achievements at the last moment of the battle for the throne.
Otherwise, the final result cannot be changed at all.
The ministers walked out of the banquet hall one after another. When passing the entrance of the banquet hall, they did not forget to say hello to Victor.
"See you next time, Count Victor."
Victor just nodded and leaned on the door frame as a greeting to the other party.
Soon, the nobles in the banquet hall left.
Until Liya and Heni walked out of the door together.
Seeing Victor, Liya put her hands on her chest and looked at Victor up and down.
"Not bad, we made a splash again today."
"Why do you always find yourself restless at such aristocratic banquets?"
Although Liya also knew why Victor did this.
Victor looked at Liya with his deep eyes and responded calmly.
"It's getting late, go home early."
"I'll go back later."
Liya shrugged and said nonchalantly.
"Don't worry, Henny is with me."
Thinking of Gwen's condition, Liya warned again:
"Remember to bring Gwen back as soon as possible. You also know her current condition."
"I'm not too reassured."
Seeing that Victor didn't react, she knew that Victor didn't need to worry.
So he nodded to Victor and walked in the direction of the carriage.
But Hernie hadn't moved yet, standing next to Victor, seeming a little nervous.
Until Liya had walked a certain distance, she did not look back, but just said hello:
"Hernie, hurry up!"
"Know it!"
Heni responded, looking at Liya without looking back.
Then, she adjusted her position and stood in front of Victor.
As if she didn't give Victor a chance to react, she boldly pounced on him.
He hugged Victor tightly with his arms, as if he wanted to fit his body completely into Victor's.
His head was buried in Victor's chest, his warm breaths rising and falling, and he greedily breathed in Victor's scent.
As if her desire was completely satisfied, Henie raised her face and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Looking at Victor with a provocative smile, it was like a pink moon hanging on Hernie's lips.
Hermione continued to hug Victor tightly with her arms, her hands moving up and down his back.
“I’ve been waiting for you at home♡”
After the words fell, Heni let go of Victor.
She took a few steps back, her body tilted slightly, and her hair hung down according to gravity.
The crooked smile is like bathing in the spring breeze, as if even the dark night has become a little brighter.
"Professor, come back soon."
After saying that, she didn't care what Victor's reaction was and hurriedly ran in the direction of Liya.
Until the two of them boarded the carriage and left leisurely, it was like a blurry spot of light gradually disappearing into the night.
Victor's face was expressionless. He lowered his head slightly and glanced at the marks on his chest.
The warmth seemed to still remain on his chest.
Vega swung his black wings, stretched out his beak, and arranged the black feathers that were messy as he walked.
It lowered one eye, looked at Victor, clicked its tongue twice and continued:
"You won't use it if I give you a chance."
"You don't even dare to reach out and hug me back?"
However, I thought that I was standing above Victor and saw that perfect scenery.
I have to say that the feeling is more obvious when looking from top to bottom.
Weijia thought for a moment about his small body. If he were caught in it, he would probably suffocate.
Victor's expression was still like the calm lake water above the snow-capped peaks, without any ripples.
Recently, Heni has indeed become more and more bold.
Even in the palace, even if Liya is nearby, she dares to take the initiative to hug her.
It is unimaginable that there was once a girl with such low self-esteem.
What exactly had she gone through to make her what she is now?
But even so, he certainly wouldn't care less about Vega's ridicule.
He still said something back to Vega.
"Envy?"
"I can also prepare a body like Hernie's for you."
Vega's hoarse laughter suddenly stopped.
It's really not a good choice to argue with Victor.
He would always try his best to silence it.
At this time, Victor put away his staff.
The heavy staff with a golden bird's head turned into starlight fragments in Victor's hand and disappeared.
And he put his hands in his pockets again and said lightly to the black crow on his shoulder:
"Let's go, it's time to bring Gwen back."
Victor turned around and walked towards the deserted banquet hall.
There were only a few people in the splendid banquet hall.
three deputies, and the Duke of Rivet.
After the banquet was over, Erica had already said hello to Victor and left early.
Like Victor, she seemed not to like the atmosphere of the party.
But due to her status, Erica had to come.
Levi and the three congressmen sat together, chatting incessantly.
After all, it was already late at night.
After Emperor Aubrey announced the most important matter, he returned to the palace to sleep early.
However, he specifically allowed everyone to stay in the banquet hall and have fun.
But how can those noble gentlemen continue to play?
It only took ten minutes from the time the cultists appeared to the time they were suppressed.
They all found excuses and left quickly.
Until now, there are only a few people left at the banquet.
But Oberly was in a good mood today.
He finally settled one of his worries.
Let Aurelion be the heir to the empire.
But this matter must not be taken lightly.
He needed to have a suitable reason, a reason that the nobles could not find fault with, a reason that convinced them of Aurelion.
So, Victor brought him this reason.
As a teacher of Aurelion, I strongly support Aurelion.
When Victor returned to the banquet hall, he saw Gwen who was still standing by the golden platform, in a state of alert.
She was very obedient. Even after everyone left, she still stood there without moving.
Because this is Victor's order.
Gwen always remembered, Victor told her.
For this banquet, she only needed to take the princess into the hall, and then stand where she should stand, so that everyone could see her.
So, she kept standing there, like an ice sculpture made of wind and snow.
A noble knight who is like a work of art.
He was about to call Gwen over, but Aurelion was already at his side.
After sending her father back, Aurelion returned.
Just to see Victor again.
Reflecting the flickering candlelight, her figure seemed to be blurred.
Just like the uneasiness in her heart, like the churning waves of the sea.
"Old...teacher."
Standing next to Victor, he seemed a little nervous even when he spoke.
Just like the first time he was trained by the teacher.
The first time, you will be very nervous.
