Cocott's eyes were erratic, as if he was a little embarrassed, and he laughed twice.

And pulled out a forced smile.

Truth be told, Venia's joke wasn't funny.

Tell her to marry Victor?

How is it possible, she and Victor are the best comrades-in-arms, and Victor is even her boss!

And she heard that giving birth to a child hurts, so she didn't do it.

But I feel that I will be ridiculed for using fear of pain as a reason.

So much so that she could only play haha, embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Leah just smiled and didn't say a word,

That look wandered over Corcott and Venia, looking at them carefully, smiling with a knife in her face.

It's like thinking about how to get rid of these two elves.

Only Venia, who stayed on the sidelines, didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with what she said.

As an elven priestess, her first consideration is, of course, the problems that the elven race is facing now.

Although there is also a sacred tree in the Forest of Elves, the elves of the future will appear on a large scale to survive in the human world.

It is impossible for every elf to return to the Elven Forest to have children.

Therefore, whether Cocott can produce elves is particularly important.

But in the human world, only a man and a woman can marry to give birth to offspring.

Then Victor, as the father of the elves, only needs to marry Kokot.

Isn't the problem of elf reproduction solved!

"No, no, no, no!"

Corcote shook his head like a rattle, objecting to Venia's suggestion.

Where is this advice?

Not reliable at all!

Cocott put one hand into a fist in front of his mouth and coughed lightly.

Let both Lia and Venia all eyes focus on her:

"Don't forget, Victor has a fiancée."

Hearing this, Venia tilted her head, and her eyes revealed a clear stupidity.

"What is a fiancée?"

As a nature elf, she has not had much contact with human society.

Many of the traditions of mankind are not well understood.

Looking at Venia, who was full of doubts, Lia slowly explained:

"Victor has a fiancée, which means that he has a marriage contract with another woman, and he has agreed to marry someone else."

Venia thought for a moment, then asked curiously:

"Can humans only marry once?"

"Can't you change your fiancée?"

These two direct questions made both Lia and Cocote stunned and at a loss.

Silence, long silence.

There was a moment of silence, and Leah held her forehead and smiled bitterly.

The concept of elves is really different.

That's fine.

Considering the longevity of the elves, when humans die, the elves will remain young.

Therefore, if the elves marry humans, they may be able to marry several times in their lives.

Seeing that Ria did not answer, Venia continued to ask;

"Miss Leah, have you considered getting married?"

"Uh...... This one. ”

Now, it was Liya's turn to be embarrassed.

She avoided Venia's gaze and looked awkwardly at the ceiling, her fingers unconsciously spinning in circles.

She didn't seem to have thought much about it.

Venia didn't give up, and continued to ask:

"According to human customs, if you don't get married, you can't have offspring."

"Actually...... Nor is it ...... Can't ......"

Leah's voice grew quieter and quieter, and the words behind her were so thin that even Venia, who was closest to her, could not hear clearly.

She coughed a few times, looked up, and looked at Venia again:

"Of course, this kind of thing can't be hasty, if two people are not suitable, they can't be forced"

"Yes, yes, if it's not suitable, you can't get married!"

Kokot hurriedly chimed in.

At this moment, she and Liya actually had a tacit understanding, the two looked at each other and nodded.

But what Vinia said next caused another heavy blow to the hearts of the two people:

"So, Miss Leah is saying that you and Lord Victor are not suitable, are you?"

"Huh?"

In a word, Leah's brain went down directly.

"Uh...... I, I didn't mean that......"

"No, we're ...... Just no...... It's not suitable......"

Looking at Leah, who was almost tangled and mad, Corcote said in a timely manner:

"What do you say, Vinia, Victor is Leah's brother! How could the two of them be together!? ”

After hearing this, Venia hesitated for a moment, nodded and said:

"I see, I think I understand something."

Although she didn't understand what the other party understood, Leah breathed a sigh of relief.

She hoped that the learned elf in front of her would not ask any more questions, after all, the question asked by Venia was too sensitive, and if she continued like this, I was afraid that she would be the one who went crazy first.

Then, Venia began a new round of questions:

"Miss Leah, I have one last question."

"Since you and Lord Victor are brother and sister, does that mean that your parents are the same?"

This question made Liya feel a little normal, and she was silent for a while:

"Well, that's what normally would be the case, except that our fathers should be the same ......"

"But the mother is not."

……

"No one has ever seen your mother, not even me."

A heavy voice sounded above Victor's head.

Victor followed behind Helnathan's massive body, as if following a small moving mountain range.

Helnathan held a flaming torch in his hand, and the bright light shone brown on the surrounding trees.

Farther into the forest, there was a deep darkness.

Even though there is no living life around, the silence of the forest always makes it feel like a terrifying beast lurks within.

Victor's footsteps stepped over the branches, and there was an intermittent sound of crisp snapping and rustling of leaves.

There was a layer of mist wafting through the forest, but the currents around Helnathan blew away all the fog within a few meters.

The two of them continued to march towards the depths of the forest, one after the other.

As he walked, Helnathan's majestic voice rang out again:

"You were a year old when the previous head of the family brought you back."

Because of the sudden appearance of this child, Victor's grandfather was very angry about it.

He blew his beard and glared, pointing at Victor's father's nose and scolding.

scolded him for ignoring the overall situation, scolding him for acting recklessly, and without the orthodoxy of the Clayvenner family.

Before getting married, I brought back a child.

The reputation of the Cravenner family will fall to the bottom in an instant because of this unexpected child.

After all, everyone loves to have fun.

Especially Victor's father, who was also the emperor's most powerful subordinate and one of his best brothers.

So who is the mother of this child?

No one knows.

It wasn't until after the emperor's accession to the throne that merit and honor were sprinkled with loyal support factions.

According to the calculation, the Cravina family, which had a long history of glory at that time, naturally deserved to enjoy the great exploits of Conglong.

As long as Clevina made up his mind to stay in the royal capital, he would develop steadily for decades.

Maybe there are now two dukes in the Carencian Empire.

However, the head of the family at that time, that is, Victor's father.

Perhaps so that the child who was smuggled back would not be discussed, he only chose a territory among the emperor's rewards.

As a result, the Clivener family retired from the public eye, choosing to shrink to Breston to become a viscount.

Obviously, the Kravenna family, which has great merit, can develop better, but he chose to lead the family to retire.

Many of Victor's father's comrades-in-arms thought that Victor's father was a man who did not seek progress, but only wanted to be stable overnight.

At that time, although the emperor had just ascended the throne, he was also in urgent need of help.

As a result, Victor's father returned to Breston to live in peace first.

"After that, the former head of the family found a random woman to marry, and when you were five years old, you gave birth to the current Miss Leah."

"You probably don't know anything about it, though."

The woman was found by the head of the family in a more remote part of the Empire.

She hadn't even been to Bladstone in her life, she hadn't been to the Craviner house.

Even Helnathan hadn't seen Leah's mother.

Even, after the death of the previous head of the family, Helnerthan tried to send someone to find the woman.

As Leah's mother, as the wife of Victor's father.

Despite never being to Breston, she is also the titular hostess.

But it was as if she had evaporated from the world, and no matter how much Haynathan searched, it would be in vain.

Whether it's Victor's mother, or Leah's mother.

They were like they had made an agreement, and they never showed up.

At this time, Victor, who was following behind Helnathan, slowly spoke:

Victor followed behind Helnathan and spoke slowly:

"Helnathan, do you know that mirror?"

Helnathan walked in front of him, silent.

Victor went on to say:

"That mirror was dug out of our family's veins."

"He's a living being, and knows Leah's past."

"What struck me the most was what he said."

The dark forest finally came to an end, and without shelter, the wind swept through the sky and over Victor's body.

The black trench coat swayed in the air with the wind, and the clothes flapped together with a crackling sound.

The hair on Helnerthan's body was also blown backwards, and he stood still, motionless.

In front of Victor and Heilnathan is a very tall tombstone.

The tombstone was almost as tall as Victor and was covered with a thick layer of dust.

It was surrounded by a wide flat field, with various marks scratched on it, but it was buried in grass and could not be seen closely.

The wind blew, and the dust that fell on the tombstones was lifted and swept into the air.

Victor's obsidian-like eyes stared at the small words on the tombstone, and said lightly:

"The Cravina family is a cursed family."

"Therefore, there will never be a mage in this family."

The moment the words fell, six small formations appeared behind Victor's body.

Buzz - Buzz - Buzz -

They flickered in the air for a moment, then faded away.

When it's about to disappear, it flashes again, and so on.

Illuminates the darkness-obscured handwriting on the tombstone:

【The Soul Messenger Who Wanders the Border Prison】

—Tishnato Kravena.

"So, you and I know that, don't we?"
