Leah's eyes widened when she heard Victor's words.

The pale and colorless face was immediately filled with consternation.

"What...... Meaning? ”

She forcibly suppressed her trembling voice, mustered up the courage, and continued to ask Victor.

It was as sharp as a knife that the cold wind kept cutting across her face.

The clear pain was not only on her cheeks, but even deep inside her.

Leah couldn't open her eyes, she always felt that the wind had become much stronger this winter night.

Victor looked down at her and slowly lowered the hand that had fallen on top of Leah's head.

Feeling the warmth above her head disappear, Lia was finally able to lift her head.

She looked at Victor with a trembling look, and there was a strong sense of condemnation in her trembling eyes.

She just looked at Victor's familiar face and asked angrily:

"Let me go home alone? What does this mean? ”

"What the hell are you talking about?"

is obviously questioning Victor, but in Leah's heart, a strong premonition always rises inexplicably.

It's like, they're about to separate.

She shook her head violently, reluctant to accept the idea.

At this time, Victor said to her very calmly:

"I'm going to be away for a while."

"It could be back soon, or it could be a long time."

Hearing these words, Leah was a little stunned.

How she wished that what Victor said was true, that bad premonition was just a delusion on her part.

After all, Victor didn't leave either.

Sometimes it's short, sometimes it's long.

On the longest occasion, Victor even went on an envoy with the princess to the Kingdom of Canter.

That time, he was away for a full month.

So for now, she didn't have to worry about Victor's departure.

It is not uncommon for the other party to suddenly disappear without saying a word, she should have been used to Victor's frequent departure.

But why......

Only once, let her worry so much?

It's like...... Victor's departure this time will never come back.

She couldn't take it.

So Leah looked up, looked into Victor's eyes, and asked softly, a little choked:

"So...... Where are you going? ”

Victor didn't answer Leah's question directly.

He just told Leah lightly and with a hint of concern:

"When you go back, remember to discuss with Zola about the compensation of the royal capital."

"She won't owe anything, she knows everything."

Hearing Victor's words, Leah stood silently, one hand clenched into a fist, resting on her chest, clinging to her trembling clothes.

She felt a tightness in her chest, and breathing began to become a little difficult.

Leah tried to take a deep breath, but her throat felt like it was blocked by a heavy stone.

And Victor's voice continues:

"In the days when the royal capital was built, he first lived in Breston."

"If you get stuck in any way, go to Kocot."

"Even if you don't have me at home, you have the support of a fifth-order mage."

Listening to Victor's words, Leah's mood became heavier and heavier.

Her mind was buzzing as Victor's words buzzed in her ears like a mosquito, making her feel irritated.

"...... the hell you have"

She tried to interrupt, but Victor's voice didn't stop.

"You are better at handling family affairs than me, and you can't always be without a head of the family."

"So after I'm gone, you can take my place."

Hearing these words, Leah's eyes widened.

Because of this sentence, it was as if all her guesses were completely confirmed.

Victor, as if he won't be coming back.

She couldn't believe it, and she didn't want to believe it.

Leah could only shake her head frantically, with her eyes in disbelief and a trembling voice.

To make a final interrogation to Victor:

"What the hell are you ...... Where are you going......"

Victor was silent.

After a moment, he reached out and gently grabbed Leah's gloved palm.

The glove fit perfectly on Leah's hand, wrapping tightly around her skin.

The gems on it still flowed with alien elemental magic.

You can see that she hasn't used it much.

But Victor slowly raised his left hand and pointed to the mage's hand set with six gems.

Suddenly, a faint discolored magic flowed from his fingertips.

After circling in the air with the cold wind, it gradually merged into each brilliant spar.

The magic poured in like a stream, and the majestic magic became clearer and clearer.

Looking at the mage's hand that shimmered with light, Leah lowered her head.

Her eyes reflected the six brilliant rays, and she couldn't say half a sentence powerlessly.

For some reason, the bright light seemed to prick her eyes and make her heart ache even more.

"I've updated the magic for you."

"If it's dangerous, use them."

Victor instructed softly, as calm as ever.

Suddenly, Leah's gaze became dazed.

As if remembering something important, her eyes widened slightly.

She remembered Victor saying that just use the magic contained in this glove.

No matter how far away he was, he would come back and be there for her.

At this moment, Leah was just about to speak.

Victor's calm voice was once again ahead of her:

"But don't mess around."

"I can't guarantee that you'll be there as soon as you're done with them."

Hearing this, Leah's eyes, which had just appeared a glimmer of hope, suddenly froze.

She stared down at the new magic flowing in each gem on her glove, then up at Victor.

The cold wind whipped up again, and a light, condensed current ruffled the ends of Leah's hair, obscuring her frozen eyes.

Victor's black trench coat danced in the air, brushing past Ria's side.

"Brother......

Leah couldn't hold back any longer, her hands clenched to her chest, and the tears that had been brewing for a long time finally overflowed her eyes.

As the cold wind swept across her cheeks, the crystal tears were like pearls with broken threads, reverberating in the air, reflecting endless sorrow.

Victor put his hands in his pockets and glanced down at the time he had left.

[Countdown - 00:00:59]

He raised his head again, stared into Leah's tear-blurred eyes, and said calmly:

"I have a minute left."

"If you want to say anything to me, or if you have any other requests, just say it in this minute."

When these words reached Leah's ears, even the cold wind seemed to become more gloomy.

Leah pursed her lips and lowered her head, not wanting Victor to see her fragile appearance.

A biting chill rushed through her nose, down her throat, and down her heart.

It's as if it were clear that this is the last parting moment.

Leah slowly opened her trembling lips and made a slightly trembling plea:

"Can you ...... Hug me? ”

Leah kept her head down, her steps moving forward little by little.

Finally, she hurried into Victor's solid, warm embrace.

His hands were wrapped tightly around his waist, and his head was buried deep in his chest.

This minute.

For the first time, Lia felt the embrace of her brother.

For the first time, she felt how warm Victor's embrace was.

Obviously, she has long stopped looking forward to it,

Obviously, she had long been disheartened.

But at this moment, there is only this minute.

She was unwilling to let go, unwilling to leave.

But Leah wants time to be frozen forever.

However, time always passes inexorably, and it always takes away all the warmth and nostalgia.

It was like a sharp knife that slowly slashed through the broken heart, allowing her to taste the deep sadness.

Leah could only wait for the time in her heart, beating little by little.

It's like a clock running a hand, ticking and ticking.

Ding——

[Countdown - 00:00:00]

Time has finally come to an end.

And Victor's departure was not so spectacular.

It was just that a strong cold wind suddenly swept across the high platform and across the space.

The broad body in the black trench coat turned into stars, and with the swirling wind breath, it merged into the burning Supreme Gate of Heaven.

Countless chaotic red souls frantically surged towards that paleness.

Leah, who stood in front of the Gate of the Supreme Heaven, still maintained that embracing gesture, as if she was not aware of Victor's departure in the slightest.

Until the hazy pale gradually stopped, and a pale and lonely snow fell in the sky.

Snowflakes fluttered in the cold wind and fell quickly.

It didn't take long for the ground to be covered with a thick layer of snow.

Without the support of others, Leah fell to her knees weakly.

Her legs were buried in the cold snow, and the cold wind ruffled her coat.

Why did she feel that this cold wind was so cold now?

Leah didn't quite know.

But when a warm coat gently covered her, her body trembled slightly.

Leah slowly looked up, looking overhead.

Kocot was sitting on top of the clouds, looking at Leah, who was covered in a layer of white snow, with a worried look on her face.

She gently put her hand on Leah's shoulder and comforted her softly:

"Leah, are you alright......"

"Victor said he would definitely come back."

Hearing this, Leah's body trembled, as if she was suppressing a strong emotion.

Her hands clenched the sides of her coat tightly, tightening them tightly and wrapping her body.

Finally, Leah couldn't take it anymore.

The tide of tears broke through the floodgates of grief and poured down the face.

A strong and clear sense of helplessness enveloped Leah, and she didn't want to hold on to her strength any longer, and she cried out loud.

The crying was loud, one after the other.

The heart-rending weeping seemed to drown the entire snow, and it was a deep sadness for the silent night.

In the snow, the pain was completely wrapped around Liya's body.

The cold wind is still cold, and the howling is still continuous.

But this clear grief alone covers Leah's small world.

She has no family left.
