The knights trembled and brought Victor and Kevlar back to House Delinn territory.

The ice and snow along the way finally passed, and the huge steel castle in front of him was replaced by it.

Impenetrable defenses that can make any enemy who tries to storm here despair.

When I entered the city, I could see everywhere that there were rows of knight recruits, who were undergoing all kinds of tiring training.

This is the territory of the Delin family, the largest front on the northern border of the Empire.

Although the territory of the empire is peaceful, there are many hidden dangers in the outside world.

In the south, there is a long-standing monster rift, in the north there is a group of barbarians with special powers, and to the west, there is the Kingdom of Kanter.

However, because of the presence of Aurelian, the empire and the kingdom have basically not committed any mistakes, and have always been in a relatively peaceful relationship.

Of course, in each place, there is a corresponding family guard.

On the northern side of the defensive line, the Delin family is stationed.

This is the territory of the Earl of Angus.

Within this huge castle, it is known as the land of knights.

Therefore, the strength of the Delin family is strong, and even its imperial status is displayed here.

The steel beast's jaw slowly opened, and in front of the huge castle, the two of them were like two black insects.

They rode slowly down a long, dark road.

It wasn't until he had fully entered the interior of the castle that Kevlar waved his hand to the knights escorting behind him.

"You can leave."

After receiving the order, the knights spread their legs as if they had been pardoned by the emperor, and ran into the distance as if they were relieved, not wanting to stay by Victor's side for a second longer.

The knight at the head saw that his subordinates were all scattered for a while, he was stunned for a moment, looked at Kevlar, and said busily.

"That'..... That one...... Miss Kevlar, I ..... I'm going to inform the teacher! ”

After that, the knights who followed closely one step ahead disappeared completely.

It wasn't until everyone left that Kevlar looked at his 'brother-in-law' with a still cold expression with a smile in his eyes, and said jokingly:

"What, you thought my father was going to change your engagement from Gwen to me, and got angry?"

Angry? I can't talk about this emotion.

While on the train, Victor just felt a little depressed.

I'm already trying to take care of everything.

It only took a little time for him to get Gwen out of that future gesture of justice.

Obviously, as long as it is soon, he can rest assured, and he can no longer worry about the righteous Valkyrie and get the power of that god.

Maybe it's because it's the future Victor who will die under Gwen's spear.

Victor has been in contact with Gwen and has been gently changing the relationship between the two.

However, Kevlar's words to him completely disrupted Victor's plans.

If Victor and Gwen cancel their engagement, he will have no reason to continue spying on Gwen.

He didn't know when Gwen would become stronger, when he would become that absolutely cold-blooded gesture of justice.

Anyway, this marriage contract.

It has to be maintained.

"I didn't expect you guys to be single-minded."

"Hey, sister, I'm really sad that I didn't take a fancy to me."

Victor glanced at her indifferently, his voice a little indifferent.

"That's not how you have on the train."

He made a deal with Kevlar.

It doesn't matter what Angus wants to do.

Kevlar will do her best to help him keep Gwen's engagement.

Although Kevlar is only a guess.

The witcher was only her part-time job, and as a politician, Kevlar only had to guess what her father was thinking.

Victor's current height is not worthy of a family outcast to marry him.

That's right, outcast.

Kevlar was well aware that Gwen was not taken seriously at all within the family.

She has been exposed to the training of ordinary knights since she was a child, and she has been able to develop to this point completely by her own hard work and talent.

Even if Gwen became the chief knight of the Royal Knights, even the emperor took good care of her.

has no access to the internal authority of the family, and she will always be an abandoned son of the family.

Anyway, the marriage contract is here, and in his father's eyes, Victor and Gwen have no feelings.

Then it doesn't matter if this marriage contract is a different person.

Just make sure they have a deeper relationship with the Clavenners.

And who will be the new victims?

Unless Angus is crazy and wants his most satisfying heir to fencing with Victor.

So that person could only be her.

Kevlara Delin.

However, once she relaxed, she still couldn't control her mouth, and said to Victor playfully:

"Huh? Do you like Gwen a little more, or do you like my sister a little more? ”

"Anyway, my sister is so old, no one wants to marry even if she wants to."

Kevlar smiled and asked:

"Or you can marry me by the way."

Victor glanced down at Kevlar indifferently.

His eyes looked at her body unscrupulously.

And then......

"Huh."

It was just an indifferent chuckle, but it seemed to be filled with endless mockery.

Victor rode his horse and walked forward, ignoring Kevlar, who was left behind him.

Kevlar had a puzzled expression, but somehow felt a burst of fire.

"What does he mean by that?"

She really couldn't think clearly, so she simply stopped thinking about it and hurriedly followed.

When I arrived at the Delin Mansion, there stood the huge dark wood house in front of me.

A knight of the clan bowed slowly to Kevlar, slowly pushed the dark wooden door in front of him open, and made a gesture of invitation to the two of them.

The family had already received word from the knights that Kevlar would return with Victor.

Entering the mansion, Victor looked at the rooms inside.

This huge house is filled with furniture made of fine black walnut, and the whole dark tone reflects a lot of conflicting roughness and elegance.

Several huge beast skins were nailed to the wooden houses, and warm flames crackled and burned in the fireplace.

It's simple, but it's very warm.

The Delin family has to train the knights of the empire all the time, so that the family's expenses are very huge.

Angus didn't waste a penny on the home set-up, and the set was just right.

Soon, a gray-haired butler appeared in front of the two.

"Mr. Victor, please wait a moment."

"The head of the house, he will be back soon."

He turned his head to look at Kevlar and said slowly:

"Miss."

"The head of the house said that there were some things that he wanted to talk to Mr. Victor personally."

This was her father's deliberate attempt to keep her out of the matter.

Kevlar clearly sensed the signal.

But why is that?

If the father was going to replace her with the betrothed, in that case, he should have let her be present.

Could it be that she guessed wrong?

Kevlar glanced at Victor with some concern, but only saw him nod slightly, followed the servant, and set off towards the conference hall first.

Kevlar was about to open his mouth to say something, but the butler had already spoken.

"Miss, maybe you should go see your brother."

"Young Master Jia Xiu is looking forward to your return, and besides, he misses Miss Gwen and his sister very much."

The father was unhappy that Gwen hadn't returned.

So he asked her questions in the name of her brother and isolated her from this incident.

Oh, what an invulnerable means.

Kevlar watched Victor's back disappear completely with the servant, and then nodded faintly.

"Lead the way."

"Let me see if Jia Xiu has made any progress in recent years."

The butler bowed respectfully and bowed to Kevlar again.

"Yes."

……

Led by the servant, Victor was taken to a slightly more ornate hall.

The touch of the sofa under him made Victor relax a lot, and the black walnut table in front of him also exuded a natural atmosphere.

The maid slowly placed the tea in front of Victor and withdrew.

As the butler said, the head of the house will be back soon.

The door was slowly pushed open, and a dignified middle-aged man walked in.

He was wearing a white cloth undershirt that appeared to have some sweat spots on it, apparently having just shed his armor.

Angus was not a big man, but his silver hair was disheveled, as if he had been unkempt from years of training, and he had a slight white beard that had not been shaved clean.

But Victor knew that this man was the same generation as the father he had died.

So, he stood up first.

"Uncle Angus."

No matter what will come next, due courtesy must not be less.

"It seems that not seeing you for a long time has not made you lose your proper manners, my nephew."

Angus's expression didn't have much, he just looked at Victor calmly and sat down in the leather chair.

Victor also sat down again, and there was no more fluctuation in his eyes.

Finally, Angus was the first to speak.

"I'm curious how my late brother, the heir he left behind, came to be so good."

"So good that my daughter is no longer worthy of him, so good that my family doesn't know how to contact him."

Victor just listened to him quietly, he didn't have any superfluous responses at all, he was just being a polite listener.

Finally, Angus made another move.

He tugged his hands into his sleeves, as if years of bitter cold in the north had accustomed him to doing so.

After that, he stood up and began to pace slowly around the room.

"I think you're very smart, Victor."

"Perhaps when that letter arrives at your house, you'll know what I've invited you for."

Victor's gaze never left him, and he did his best to remain silent.

"But......"

He stood still, staring directly at Victor.

"One of the things I'm most curious about, he makes me think about it."

"If I can't get an answer to this, then I'll never be able to trust Gwen to you."

"So, I need you to tell me ......"

Swish!

The voice has not fallen! A cold chill flashed in an instant, and the speed at which the surrounding air was completely torn into two halves of the vacuum made people unable to react.

Clang!

The round shield came out of thin air, and Victor tilted his head slightly, holding the round shield on his left arm, and easily took the sharp blade away.

In a trance, the blood bar and rank appeared in front of Victor.

Lv45

Angus had a 'sure way' expression, and his voice was a little chilly.

"Who the hell are you?"

The crow crowed coldly in a hoarse voice, and Victor's eyes slowly took on a flowing blue.

"Don't worry."

Victor had a smile on his face, revealing confidence and nonchalance.

"Right now, the beaten one."

"That's you."
