"What happened?"

Victor was a little curious.

Leah was looking forward to the feast.

If it was just a little thing, she wouldn't have said that.

Lia bit her lip and said with some displeasure:

"There's something wrong with the business on the other side of the territory, see for yourself."

As he spoke, he took out this month's territorial financial report and handed it to Victor.

Victor took the file and listened to Leah continue:

"Originally, I was going to go to the study to ask you to sign, but you weren't there."

"After inquiring, I found out that you actually came to the martial arts arena to practice swords."

Although the management of the territory has always been handled by Leah, Victor, as the head of the family, still needs him to sign it nominally.

Victor glanced at the document and was just about to sign it when he saw something strange about the grain revenue.

That part of the income is pitifully low.

It's almost like blatant writing the word corruption on the report.

He noticed the name on the right - Chur.

"Now do you know why I'm going back?"

Leah's face was not at all relaxed.

Thinking of the name, Victor asked:

"What is the origin of this person, it doesn't look like the name is a native of the empire."

"Indeed, he is a grain merchant from the kingdom next door, and the grain merchant went home to raise his children a few years ago, and he was introduced by that grain merchant."

"There were no problems in the first few months, but I don't know why there were moths this month."

Victor was a little sure.

Chull, the name, Victor is still somewhat impressed.

But Victor wasn't sure if it was the same person, because the repetition of names was quite high.

Although there will be no npC with the same name in the game, it is natural that it cannot be viewed from the perspective of the game at this time.

After all, Hennie doesn't appear in the main story either.

He can't guarantee that the 'Chull' that appears this time is also the Chull from the previous game.

In his memory, Chull is a soldier belonging to the mercenary regiment of the Kingdom of Kante, a warrior profession, and is considered a small lord-level bOSS.

As for why Victor knew about him.

Because when doing some side quests, players will meet him by chance.

He will initially pretend to be a down-and-out soldier, hoping that the player will help him recover his weapons and armor.

Chull looks like a naïve soldier of justice.

And when the player helps him recover the armor and silver sword, go to the designated island to discover his true face.

There he will kill the player and take the player's heart to help him practice the dark arts.

Victor tapped on the ledger, his fingers focused on the man's name.

"Can you find this person directly?"

"I've already started to let the subordinates of the territory arrest him, I hope this person hasn't run yet."

Hearing Leah's words, Victor nodded.

As a small lord-level bOSS, many players have been stuck with him.

Victor, as a substitute booster, also took a lot of orders about him.

He didn't know how many times he had brushed this bOSS, but the most impressive time was a piece of equipment that would definitely drop after his death - 'Evil Knight'.

This weapon is a pitch-black shield with patterns distorted by magic, and although it looks very ominous, it is known to be useful in player circles.

That's the 'bounce'.

This action is able to deflect the enemy's attack and stab him in the waist while he is balancing.

Not only does it deal high damage, but it also greatly weakens the enemy's resilience and puts them into a state of Stale.

A lot of people play this bOSS for this equipment.

Because the effect is too strong, especially in PvP Ranked Mode, it can lead to a strange look when both players have this round shield equipped at the same time.

That is, both sides raised their shields at the same time and did not move, waiting for the rebound.

As a result, the equipment was weakened by the authorities, and eventually it fell off the altar.

However, if it was really that guy, why did he come to the empire at this time and infiltrate their territory as a grain merchant.

And he blatantly embezzled a large amount of money directly on the bill, and almost wrote it on the financial report, and deliberately told others to arrest him.

"Obvious intent."

Victor shook his head, he didn't figure out Chull's motives.

But since you can't figure it out, it's good to catch it and torture it.

It just so happened that Victor was a little interested in the equipment on his body, so he signed it, returned the ledger to Leah, and said casually:

"The dress is on, the carriage is ready, let's go to the palace first."

Leah took the ledger and was a little puzzled when she heard Victor's words.

"Didn't you listen to what I just said? I've got to get back to the territory. ”

Victor patted her on the shoulder and said:

"I'll go with you when I get back from the palace."

Leah: "Huh? ”

Seeing Victor leave first, she looked at Victor's back and couldn't help muttering:

"What's crazy again?"

She didn't think Victor would care about her safety, and Leah didn't think she was in any danger.

She's not stupid, and what Victor can see, she can see too.

"Someone's targeting the Cravina family."

Leah shrugged, remembering the last time the prop shop was smashed.

Leon returned to the territory early and began to prepare.

But now it seems that Leon has to be informed that the plan has changed.

Soon, Leah changed into her dress and got into a carriage with Victor to the palace.

Because Victor and Leah were going to meet the emperor in advance, someone had already been arranged at the gate of the palace.

The envoy led the two to a side room in the palace and saw Emperor Oberly.

The old man sat there for a long time, and seemed to have waited for Victor for a long time, and even fell asleep.

Victor saw a girl beside the emperor, who looked younger than Erica, only fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Your Majesty, Brother and Sister Victor have arrived."

Oberly opened his eyes and saw Victor, his cloudy eyes much clearer.

He held out his hand and beckoned, motioning for Victor and the two to come to him.

"Your Majesty."

Victor bowed with Leah, a necessary etiquette to face the Emperor.

The old emperor waved his hand, he was old enough to stop caring about these cumbersome etiquette.

He pulled the girl behind him, and the little girl was very beautiful, with a beautiful face on her immature face.

"This is my youngest daughter, Aurelian Thor."

The emperor had very few children, only three children, two of whom were princes, and the last one was Aurelian in front of him.

Victor and Leah put one hand on their chests and bowed:

"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess."

The princess looked timid, and hid behind her father a little shyly.

The emperor looked at her and smiled: "This child has lived in the palace since he was a child, and he has rarely seen people. ”

"So much so that she had no talent, but she never went to school because she was too afraid of life."

"I've asked some mages to teach magic before, but it didn't work well, and after a few days of teaching, those teachers always said they had nothing to teach."

Liardo glanced at the little princess and had some thoughts in her heart.

Is it really that the talent is high, and it is not that the mages can't teach it?

The emperor's children are naturally very "high", and even if they really can't teach anything, Oberly will only think that it is the teacher's problem.

"I asked Levi to be Aurelian's teacher, but Levi always said that he wasn't a teacher, so he pushed it off."

At this, Oberly shook his head and laughed.

Naturally, he wouldn't believe Levi's nonsense.

But at this time, Victor also heard the emperor's implication.

Even Leah glanced up at Victor in surprise.

In order to win over Victor, the emperor really made a bloody investment. ’

Saying that it might be just a compliment to say that she couldn't find the teacher, and the smart Leah instantly thought of the old emperor's intentions.

Sure enough, the emperor's next words were:

"Victor, can I ask you to be this child's personal tutor?"

Hearing this, Leah hurriedly squeezed her eyebrows at Victor, eager to quickly rip off Victor's mouth and put it on herself to agree.

Although I don't know what the emperor likes about Victor, if it can be related to the royal family, then their Clayvenna family will directly rise to prominence.

Someone else's aristocratic hatred? Let them hate them!

As a result, Victor's words were astonishing, and Riya's teeth itched.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for taking the liberty of thinking about it."

Emperor Oberly fell silent, he did not know the reason for Victor's refusal.

The royal family took the initiative to show favor to the nobles, which was an opportunity that normal people would not dare to imagine.

Even if Victor is a fourth-order mage.

Of course, Victor never thought of it that way.

If anyone thinks that he can be so powerful that he can look down on the empire when he has stepped into the fourth order, it is a big mistake.

There are naturally countless benefits to clinging to the Empire, even for Victor.

But here's the thing.

Victor's gaze swept over the little princess's body.

Aurelien Saul.

No, she should be called, Saul IX.

The Witch of Eternity.

That's her future title.

If the fourth order can be called a natural calamity mage, then her strength will be above the absolute natural calamity.

No one knows why she was so powerful, but two years later the emperor died, and at the age of seventeen, Aurelian swept all obstacles and became the new emperor of the empire.

She was the only empress of foreign blood who became emperor of the Carencian Empire.

Aurelian's mother is the daughter of the Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Kante, and she is the product of a political marriage.

But for now, Victor doesn't want to think about so many political issues.

Now, fifteen-year-old Aurelian looks like a harmless little girl.

She seemed a little sad because of Victor's refusal, and there were some crystal tears in her eyes.

However, who would know that it was all her disguise?

The more he delved into the plot, the deeper Victor's fear of the future empress became.

Her possessiveness is extremely strong, and once she identifies her own things, even if she destroys them, she will not give them away.

Because of this, he admired the future Victor for being able to contain each other with such a monster, and even managed to almost subvert the power of the empire.

After all, not agreeing to come down is not Victor's style.

The arrogance of being a booster, as well as his deep understanding of this game, make him never allow himself to be in this world and fear anyone.

Not to mention that he still has two years to go.

So he said to the emperor:

"Two and a half years."

Emperor Oberly didn't quite understand and frowned.

"I'll be Her Royal Highness's personal magic instructor, but only for two and a half years."

"After two and a half years, I voluntarily resigned from this position."
