The long-troubled question of the ownership of the Sulburn land was finally temporarily resolved at the unanimous request of the Church of Fertility and the people of Sulburn.

Victor would become lord of Shulbourne, while Prisis would change his surname to Clavenna.

Became the only member of the Clevenna family in the kingdom.

With such a surname, even if Prisis is still a blood family, no one dares to discriminate against her anymore.

The aristocrats were even eager to curry favor with Prisis, and they had long forgotten what Laurien had done.

Anyway, they weren't dead, and the people of Shulben were all right.

And Laurion is dead.

As for Prisis?

Don't talk nonsense, the surname is Klevenna.

It was the blood of the Clavenna family, and it had nothing to do with Earl Laurean.

It seems that under the surname 'Clavenna', everything about Prisis can be forgiven.

At least that's what the nobles think.

As for the cause of Laurien's death, there are so many aspects involved in this matter.

Even the Bloods, a race that exists in taboo legends to draw blood, are even implicated.

Therefore, Archduke Barlow issued a stern warning against anyone who knew the inside information from divulging it.

Let the people not know the truth of this matter.

Once someone leaks, they will bear the consequences that they cannot bear.

So the cause of Count Laurean's death was glorified by the populace.

In their eyes, Count Laurien was willing to sacrifice himself as a sacrifice in order to resurrect his beloved daughter.

Eventually, his soul ascended into the sky along with his mad wife.

His sacrifice even touched the goddess of abundance.

The goddess of abundance bestows mercy and sends blessings on the whole of Shulben.

On that day, the fertile land turned into golden waves of wheat that covered the whole of Shulben.

In the face of Count Laurean's move, the people were even more shocked.

They were even more convinced of the greatness of Count Laurean, and even a righteous man who could lead the goddess of fertility to come.

The doubts and discussions that had surfaced at the beginning vanished after the appearance of the light of the Goddess of Abundance.

It makes people respect Laurien even more.

This kind of feat of sacrificing for their daughter and putting family affection first makes them feel extremely sad.

The people were asking for money to make a statue of the Count of Laurean, which will forever stand in the center of Sulburn.

The stonemasons in charge of the construction even voluntarily gave up their remuneration, simply because of the actions of the Earl Laurien, who made them reverent.

As a result, Laurien's daughter, Prissis, received a lot of care and help.

People spontaneously organized themselves to restore the ruined mansion for her.

And the reason why the mansion was destroyed is said to be because of the legendary mage from the empire - Victor.

In order to help Count Laurean grant his wish, he used magic to help Count Laurion complete the sacrifice.

But the name of this legendary mage is well known to everyone.

Rumor has it that he loves blast magic.

Wherever he was, there was hardly a place he hadn't bombed.

I heard that this mage, during his visit to the kingdom, even blew up the royal city.

So, it sounds reasonable to just use a magic spell to blow up the mansion.

The mage will then take the place of Count Laurien, raise the resurrected Prisis, and temporarily assume the position of lord of Shulben.

What a mage who loves explosions, they approve of it!

……

At this moment, the territory of Grand Duke Barlow appropriately ushered in the warm sunshine of spring.

The sound of birds and flowers lingers in the air.

Large flower beds are intertwined like multicolored blocks, clustered on both sides of the boulevard.

There is also a chair, one gently placed in the right corner of the flower bed.

Victor still sat in the chair, his shoulders covered in the warm sun.

Holding an esoteric magic book in his hand, he was reading it carefully.

In his spare time, only reading books can make him less boring.

Vega stood at the table next to her, dozing off.

The warm cup of hot tea on the side brings the right temperature to it.

Xiang Zilan stood aside, and every now and then, she would pick up the teapot at the table and pour a cup of sweet tea for Victor.

After a few idle moments, she would stand quietly next to Victor.

Even if the butterfly flies on her body, she will not make any more movements.

But the tail will wag from time to time, which is one of the few pleasures she has.

Aurelianne spent her morning exercising in the large courtyard.

Today, her sparring teacher is the female Tiger Man Martial Artist.

The female tiger man cannot speak because she has not learned human language.

But as a martial artist, she can also teach a lot.

At this moment, the tiger man stood firmly in place, with one hand behind his back, and only one hand in front of him.

A cold light flashed from Aurelian's waist, and she walked lightly towards the tigerman, who was half a body taller than her.

However, in the face of the dense blades that attacked, the female tigerman simply reversed her palm and easily twisted Aurelian's stab.

Finally, two more fingers were stretched out and the tip of the sword was easily pinched between the fingers.

The level difference between Aurelian and the Tiger Man is still too much.

In particular, this is still a tiger man of the [Martial Artist] profession.

The [Martial Master] profession is relatively mysterious and scarce.

Their profession is also the reason why Victor left the two tiger people behind.

As for why Aurelianne didn't go to Gwen for training.

Gwen has been so busy lately that she doesn't even have time to take care of herself.

Early in the morning, she would train with a large number of knights and subhuman guards.

Mainly for the newly recovered sub-humans, and the sub-human slaves who have just been freed from the noble dungeons.

These guys, although they are physically strong, have no more advantages than that.

It can't be compared to the subhumans trained by Leah.

The sub-people brought out by Ria were well-trained, and both discipline and obedience were like normal humans.

Even better than ordinary people.

And this group of wild subhumans has not yet received rigorous military training.

They are fierce by nature, and the wildness inside them is still there, more like wild beasts.

The subhuman slaves were better, but when they were freed, they were even more disobedient.

If you don't train, you may rebel against some painful memories in the future.

Although, with the exception of the two Tiger Men, Viktor was not ready to bring them back to the Empire.

Shulben will be their base camp.

It is up to them to continue to secretly rescue the more kingdom sub-people.

Therefore, for their training, we must grasp it firmly.

lest they be disobeyed because of their animal nature.

Today, Yaren is the basic guarantee of Vega.

Especially the subhuman slaves who had just been rescued.

For Vega, they are simply the best whiteboard for implanting faith.

Believers don't just talk about what they can gain, believers believe in gods, in essence, what gods can do for faith.

The devotees of the goddess of fertility believe in the goddess for the sake of a good harvest of the land.

Followers of the Goddess of Justice believe in the Goddess for the sake of justice.

In the same way, if you want to gain believers, Vega also has to give.

And the easiest way is to harvest these subhumans.

Because the subhumans only want to live, Vega is able to keep them alive.

The rescued sub-people want to be free, and they never want to go back to the dark dungeons of the past.

Therefore, if they want to live, they need strength to protect themselves.

The evil gods they believe in are nothing else, but they can keep them alive.

Those subhumans who have tasted the sweetness of freedom will become more and more inseparable from Vega.

In a virtuous circle, become a faithful believer in Vega.

When the conditions of faith are met, Vega will be able to harvest divine power.

At this point, Aurelian stopped training, sweating profusely and looking very tired.

The daily morning exercise is now completed.

These days, the Foreign Secretary is often present in the Crown to deal with diplomatic matters.

Because the king could not come forward, Aurelian and Victor naturally did not need to accompany them.

In other words, they just wanted to accompany them, and those nobles didn't dare to let them accompany them.

So much so that the two have been idle these days.

As for why they haven't returned to the empire yet.

That's because it won't be long before August is going to be married.

The person August married was Hilda, the female instructor of the Academy of Stars.

At that time, Hilda will become the queen of the Kingdom of Kanter.

It's just that how long she can hold out in this position is unclear.

After all, August had no thoughts.

Aurelian knew this very well.

When August and Hilda are captured by Hilda's sister, Aurelie is safely present.

Grandpa separated Auguste's soul from his body.

This was the final punishment of the Archduke Barlow for the unworthy king.

Incomparably cruel.

Similarly, for wanting to help August escape, she was punished by taking Hilda with her.

The punishment of these two people was not put on the surface and notified to others.

Auguste's soul was drained, and Hilda's punishment was:

"I want you, marry August."

"You must live with this king until the end of your life."

In the mist-thick realm of the dead.

Grand Duke Barlow looked at Hilda with cloudy eyes and gave her a cold and cruel punishment.

Surrounded by ghosts, Auguste's soul is engulfed in the whirlpool of ghosts.

His hollow body stood above the shattered earth.

Hilda knelt on the other side of August, her head bowed, her face gloomy.

The reflection of the green flames in her eyes didn't make her blink.

At this moment, Hilda was on the verge of despair.

Such a punishment is indeed desperate to the extreme.

She had always loved Auguste and longed to live and die with him.

Now, her wish has come true.

However, Auguste, who had been stripped of his soul, was left with only his current body.

She must face this empty shell with the same appearance as August, and accompany the living corpse for the rest of her life.

This great contrast is unacceptable to Hilda.

What's even more desperate is that even Hilda can't bear the despair and wants to commit suicide to escape.

But under the undead magic of Grand Duke Barlow, she can't even die freely.

In contrast, Hilda's punishment is always good.

At least she can live freely in this world.

Auguste, on the other hand, was completely imprisoned even for his soul.

Before Augustus was removed from his soul, Auguste used to say something like this:

“…… I'm a king, I just don't want to see the lords scorn me anymore. ”

"I just want to take back my reign, what's wrong with me?"

At that time, August was hysterical, and he no longer had the grace and calmness he used to have.

"Festan Barlow! Even if you are the greatest and most legendary necromancer, you are still only human. ”

"You can't escape the limit of your lifespan, and you're doomed to die!"

By saying these words, he was not cursing Festan Barlow.

Aurelian knew it perfectly.

Samuel's royal family is in decline, and August is the only one left, destined to never return to its former glory.

Grand Duke Barlow, the last guardian of the kingdom.

It is true that August can guarantee his rule with the Archduke Barlow, but what if the Archduke Barlow is also dead?

He is an old man who is over 100 years old, even if the mage gives him a high lifespan, how many more years can he live?

Ten years, twenty years?

Twenty years is a short time.

By then, who else will be able to protect the Samuel royal family?

The lords were not destined to convince a king without merit.

It was a very real question, and Aurelian even saw her grandfather's body a little more stiff.

Obviously he is too old to straighten his body,

But when he said that.

His body, in the shadow covered by the heavy fire, showed integrity:

"Your Majesty."

"From the time when you regarded the lives of the inhabitants of the kingdom as a mustard, you were not worthy to continue to be king."
