Chapter 429: Brother's Gift
As night falls, the moon hangs high in the sky, its soft glow falling on the stone pavements of the Cravenna House.
With the crisp sound of horses' hooves stopped, the two women got out of the carriage one after the other.
Standing in front of the mansion gate, Zora smiled and held out her hand to Riya.
"Thank you, Miss Leah, for offering me a ride."
"I still need to visit the Emperor tomorrow in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, so I won't stay long."
Seeing this, Leah smiled as well and reached out and shook Zola's hand.
"I hope Miss Zola will keep the matter of cooperation in mind."
"Of course."
Zora smiled sincerely.
Spent some time in Breston, especially going to the Cravina Arsenal as Leah said.
The appearance of these things has made Zola feel the deep strength and mystery of this family.
It is hard to imagine that these forces, which can even be compared to the power of a part of the country, actually appear in the family of an empire.
The carriage of the Chamber of Commerce had been waiting nearby for a long time, and the guards stood in front of the luxurious carriage with gold stripes and opened the door for Zola.
It wasn't until Zola got into the carriage and left that Leah's commercial smile regained its composure.
She looked back at her mansion and sighed deeply.
"Alas......"
Anyway, for going home, Leah is actually quite resistant.
Mainly, she didn't know how to face Victor anymore.
It's not that I'm embarrassed to be naked.
Everyone is an adult, not to mention that the other party is Victor, and it is no one else.
It's what Victor said.
'Cravina is a cursed family'
"This family, can't there be a mage......
Leah muttered softly, feeling a wave of melancholy.
After Victor left, she went to check her family's family tree.
Looking at the family tree, Leah almost traced back to eighteen generations of her ancestors.
The end result is......
The Clavenna family really has never had a mage.
It was hard for her to accept this fact, because, if the Kravenna family was really like what Victor said.
Then quite possibly.
Victor, who is a mage, is not biological.
The thought that neither her mother nor Victor's mother had ever appeared, kept echoing in her head.
Leah's brain was in a mess, and she couldn't imagine what would happen next.
It's fine if she doesn't know.
But this incident was told to her by Victor on his own initiative.
If she sees Victor again in the future, will she still be able to treat each other as a brother normally......
Looking at Leah, who was standing at the door of the mansion, completely lost in thought.
The servants at the door looked at each other, wondering if they should remind Miss Leah to go in first.
But at this time, a voice sounded, and the servants breathed a sigh of relief.
It also brought Riya's thoughts back to her senses.
"Leah?"
"What are you doing here?"
A familiar voice rang out, causing Leah to look up and look for prestige.
Kocot was sitting on the cloud, his hands behind his back supporting the cloud, one leg cocked, looking at Leah with a strange look.
"You've been muttering since just now, and you didn't enter the door, what's on your mind?"
Seeing Cocott, Leah chuckled and shook her head.
"No, nothing."
She quickly adjusted her state, crossed her waist with one hand, looked at Cocott, and asked with some confusion:
"It's you...... Why didn't you sleep at this time? ”
"Hmm...... Why do you all have to ask this when you see me? ”
"Maybe it's because you're sleeping every time I see you."
Hearing Leah's words, Corcote sighed helplessly.
Well, there is no way to refute it.
Still, she was slightly lost in thought by Leah's words.
To put it simply, she couldn't sleep.
Ever since she was woken up by Victor, it was as if she had completely lost her sleepiness.
Originally, when she was in Breston, she thought that her sleep quality was worse because she had lost her clouds.
In addition, the elves there constantly interfered with her sleep, causing her to not sleep at all.
So she pestered Victor and asked Victor to take her back to the garden of her dreams ahead of time.
In addition, Kokot also got his wish to snatch back his clouds.
But no matter how she fell asleep and closed her eyes, she couldn't sleep.
I could have fallen asleep by closing my eyes for a second.
This left Kocot depressed.
But Liya in front of her didn't seem to be entangled in this matter, just pondered for a while, then spread her hands and said casually:
"Forget it, as long as you don't fall asleep tomorrow anyway."
Tomorrow, Kokot will officially propose diplomatic relations with the Empire as the representative of the Elven Forest.
Victor had already told the emperor and his old man about this matter in advance.
Hearing this, Kocote couldn't help but panic a little.
"But...... I've never done anything like this before......"
"Can I really handle it?"
Hearing the worry in Kocott's heart, Leah sighed and comforted casually:
"You're an elf."
"There is no nation that does not want the friendship of the elves."
This is not a lie.
Nature is the strictest mother, and no disaster or favor in the world can avoid the laws of nature.
But elves are different.
Elves are nature's most caring children.
And if you can get the friendship of the elves, you will naturally be favored accordingly.
No one wants to anger nature.
But that may not have had any effect on Kocot.
Looking at Cocott, who was still flustered like a child after being hundreds of years old, Leah couldn't help but smile and said:
"If it's not good, there's Victor."
"Oh, yes, I've got Victor."
Hearing this, Kokot instantly felt much more relieved.
She had no worries anymore, and slumped behind her, lazily slumped on the soft clouds.
Seeing this, Lia couldn't help but feel a little funny.
But soon, as if she realized something, she suddenly couldn't laugh.
She lowered her head slightly, and one hand subconsciously touched her chest.
When did the word 'Victor' completely become the most reassuring endorsement in her heart?
It's as if there's some kind of magic to the name.
No matter what difficulties happen, just think of Victor.
Then what is obviously not solved seems to be easily solved.
Leah knew this emotion all the most.
This is 'dependency'.
Before she knew it, she was once again dependent on Victor as she had been when she was a child.
As a child, her father was busy, and she never saw her mother.
She had to rely on her remaining relative, her brother, Victor.
It wasn't until later that her father died, and she gradually recognized Victor's coldness.
After that, she became independent on her own.
As a result, in Liya's heart, there is no longer this emotion called 'dependence'.
However, now......
Leah took a deep breath.
Victor is not her own brother.
She had to come to terms with that.
I can't rely on him anymore.
Just as Leah was thinking, Cocott's voice rang out again.
"That's right, Leah."
"Have you seen Victor, he's been out all day and still hasn't come back."
"Huh?"
Leah was slightly stunned.
Hearing Cocott's words, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
It's such a late day, and Victor hasn't come home yet?
Subconsciously, Leah felt a little angry.
No, why is she angry?
It was his freedom whether Victor could return or not, and she was not qualified to care about the other party at all.
Neither is it right...... Although Victor is not her biological brother, he is still the head of the Clavenna family.
As the head of the house, he never goes home at night, and he has to run out to fool around?
So, Liya rightfully fell into a struggle again.
"I was going to go out and look for him, and by the way, I brought this guy to the door, and I happened to see you at the door."
Cocott sat up again and let the cloud tilt to its side, revealing the figure behind the cloud.
Hearing Cocott's words, Leah felt a wave of curiosity.
And when she looked at the creature behind the Kocot clouds, her mind went blank for a moment.
Because, it was a completely abnormal creature.
It resembles a red hound.
Mighty and tall.
But the most abnormal thing is its amazing three heads.
Every dog head was sticking out its tongue, snorting and drooling.
This is a dog, absolutely abnormal.
But somehow, the moment she saw the three hounds, Leah always felt inexplicably familiar.
It was like, once again, she seemed to have seen it somewhere.
Although it doesn't quite resemble the red hound in front of you, it ......
"Hell's watchdog - Cerberus?"
She hesitated to name the three hounds, then looked up again to see Cocott's reaction.
At this point, Kocott's mouth opened slightly.
"How do you know what it's called? Could it be that Victor has already told you? ”
"God, I thought he'd give this to you as a surprise."
However, she didn't notice.
In front of Leah, her expression gradually became very complicated.
Because Leah remembered.
It was no wonder when Victor had explained something to her.
So, using magic, he demonstrated three different animals for her.
Victor kept in mind his joking promise.
"The Three-Headed Dog of Hell - Cerberus."
"If I have a chance, I'll get you a real one."
And now, he really brought back this real Cerberus.
"Hoo ......"
Leah took a deep breath and slightly recovered the incomparably complex emotions in her heart.
After that, she raised her head again and said with a smile to Cocott in front of her:
"Tomorrow, if Victor doesn't come back."
"I'll go with you to him."
