In the hall, Leah sat on the soft sofa with her back against the sofa

She rested one hand on her chest and the other on her chin, her mind processing the message from Duke Rivi's words.

Duke Levi said, there are clues?

If Victor knew about this, he would be very happy.

And even she herself will be satisfied.

After all, this is one of the few regrets in ten years, and it is Henie's disappearance.

Now that Victor is back, this missing regret should indeed be made up.

But......

Is she going to come down for Victor?

Lia's heart was a little tangled, she knew that she should agree to this matter, and Victor would listen to her.

But after all these days, she felt that she shouldn't have promised Victor.

Leah felt like she was getting a little indecisive.

Obviously, she was like this before, and she would respect Victor's choice.

But now what is the problem in my heart?

Or rather.

In fact, she didn't want Herney back at all?

Leah's thoughts were in turmoil, and her head seemed to "buzz" and fell silent.

Levi noticed Leah's strange appearance and asked with some confusion:

"Huh? Miss Leah? Are you thinking about it? ”

"Uh, huh? Ah, right. ”

Leah suddenly came to her senses, smiled, and took a sip from her teacup.

Just as she was about to speak, she felt a slight heat coming from her palm.

Leah looked down and saw that the magic stone embedded in her glove was emitting a faint glow.

Soon after Victor's return, she re-energized her mage's hand.

And the heat of the gloves means ......

Leah slowly lowered the teacup in her hand and refilled her cup with tea.

Then she stood up, and seeing the doubt on Duke Rivi's face, she looked at the other man with a smile and said:

"I'm sorry Duke, I just walked away."

"But I think I should ask my opinion on this matter."

With that, she walked briskly to the back of the sofa, caressed the back of the sofa with both hands, and waited with a smile.

Then, a gust of wind breathed through the cracks between the doors and windows, and poured into the room with a chaotic force.

The curtains that hung down were rolled up by the air currents, and the steam from the teacups drifted through the air.

Levi felt the oncoming air current, and subconsciously raised his arm to block it.

The placket of his garment was blown and whirred for a long time.

After a while, the wind gradually stopped.

Feeling the impact weaken, the Duke lowered his arm.

And what appeared in his eyes was a familiar black trench coat.

Victor was sitting elegantly on the sofa,

His eyes were deep, and his voice was as indifferent as it had been ten years ago.

"Long time no see, Lord Duke."

Victor greeted Levi calmly, but his slightly raised smile was still full of the confidence and pride he once had.

Duke Levi carefully looked at Victor in front of him, and the indifferent aura on his body was still familiar.

Although the state looks a little sluggish, it looks like it has barely changed as it did ten years ago.

If I had to ask him to evaluate it, it would be like ......

Ten years ago, Victor traveled to the present.

Maybe in the past ten years, the secret of Victor's disappearance is among them.

But the Duke of Levi did not ask much, but said:

"It seems that Count Victor is a man who misses the old days."

He's referring to Hernie, of course.

As soon as he heard that there was a clue from Henie, Victor appeared in the hall as soon as possible.

However, Levi also has his own grievances, after all, he wants to solve the current situation in the royal capital, and these are all related to Victor.

Why is Victor bad to have a runaway at Gwen's wedding?

Even if you run away from marriage, you have to fight with the Grand Knight of Gwen, which caused chaos in the royal capital.

Although he understands that Victor may be motivated by the need to hide his identity, he is still unhappy with it.

That's right, this wedding, Levi is also an insider.

Although the royal capital is very large, as a duke, there is nothing he does not know about what happened to the royal capital.

It's just that after Victor's escape from marriage, Levi couldn't sleep for several nights.

I think about it every night.

Victor didn't run away because he was still thinking about his daughter, right?

Although Levi is happy about Victor's return, he is on the matter.

Victor did a bit of a lack of morality in doing these things.

So, as if alluding to something, Levi said:

"However, if the Earl is really nostalgic, he should go back and see your students."

"After all, there's a marquis's title waiting to be claimed."

The title was bestowed ten years ago by Empress Aurelian in recognition of Victor's great contribution to the security of the Empire.

If Victor does die, this identity can be inherited by Leah.

But Leah refused.

Therefore, although she is the head of the Clevenna family, she does not actually have a knighthood.

Duke Rivi was also telling Victor when he said this.

If there is nothing to do, then hurry back to the royal capital and go to see the empress.

Your Majesty is also human, and she won't eat you.

On the contrary, the empress would probably be particularly happy to see Victor return to the royal capital.

And it can also solve the current panic in the royal capital, and the first thing is to kill three birds with one stone.

But Levi was just talking, and he knew that Victor wouldn't agree.

Sure enough, Victor said calmly;

"When other things are taken care of, I will take the initiative to go back."

"At least not now."

This answer was also expected by the Duke of Levi.

Otherwise, Victor would have gone to see the Empress as early as the first day of his return, how could it have been delayed until now.

Duke Levi sighed, shook his head and chuckled, not as if surprised by this:

"Then it looks like we're going to have to find another way."

Victor was not surprised, and Duke Rivi wanted him to do him a favor that certainly not let him go back.

The other party also knew that he would not agree.

Both sides are smart people, and smart people don't need to maneuver and cover up too much.

Levi took a deep breath and turned his gaze to Leah behind him.

She stood quietly beside Victor, her hands seemingly casually resting on his shoulders, revealing an indescribable intimacy between the two.

Levi always felt a little strange when he looked at it, but he still said to Victor:

"I do have some clues about your teaching assistant here, but."

Lea noticed Levi's strange gaze, threw an understanding smile at Victor, and whispered:

"I'll wait for you outside."

She turned lightly and left the hall, carefully closing the door close.

Rivi watched Leah leave, and his heart was even more puzzled.

Aren't they brother and sister, but doesn't that seem like a communication between brother and sister?

How do you feel more like a couple?

After Leah left, Victor leaned slightly, put his hands on the table, and signaled that the conversation could begin:

"Now, so to speak."

Levi didn't say anything, but spoke calmly:

"I don't want Miss Leah to hear it, because I think of her feelings, after all, she's just an ordinary person."

He picked up his teacup and took a sip of his tea, glancing at Victor quietly.

Levi noticed that Victor was just as lightly raising his teacup and taking a casual sip.

It was the cup that Leah had just used, and judging from what had just happened, Levi felt as if he had gained insight into some deep secret.

Especially the moment when Leah interrupted him earlier.

She said that she was the only one who had Clevenna's blood.

After understanding all this, Levi understated it intentionally or unintentionally:

"When Erica comes back, I'll have to find a way to make her less contact with you."

Victor didn't care about that, he never thought too much about other people's opinions.

Although the world seems more real, Victor's emotions may have changed.

But in terms of attitude, he is still the Victor who can not give anyone face.

Levi's words were just casually mentioned, and he expressed his position a little.

After all, in the empire, nobles with many wives and concubines abounded.

It was common even for aristocratic families formed by those who were really close relatives.

In such a social context, this kind of thing does not seem to be uncommon.

Although Levi adheres to his concept of pure love, he also knows that he cannot force others to follow the same path.

At best, he could only express a trace of dissatisfaction with Victor's behavior on a moral level.

It's all about getting down to business.

Thinking like this, Levi moistened his throat, put down the teacup and continued:

"Your teaching assistant...... Her name is Hernie, right? ”

"She must have something to do with the devil."

Victor's face was expressionless, but the reaction was enough to serve as his answer.

Seeing this, Levi chuckled, as if he had expected this answer:

"Sure enough, Devin Reiser's collusion with the devil was framed."

In order to prevent misunderstanding, he added:

"But we've already investigated, and it was Devin Reiser who took the lead in provoking, and he deserved it."

Levi recalls when Victor held the assistant teacher in his arms after the demon was destroyed.

He couldn't understand where the girl had come from.

First to last, event after event.

Demons slaughter barbarians in the north, and a group of witchers appear in Victor's home.

Every time a demon appears, there must be Victor around.

In the last incident, the second prince colluded with the demon, and the greedy demon around him was even more rebelled by Victor.

led to the arrest of the second prince and was convicted.

At that moment, Victor almost made his connection to the devil public.

But no one would dare to say anything to Victor.

Therefore, Levi decided to speak his mind first:

"I'll be the first to say, there are demon hunters who have found traces of the primordial demon in the magic tower, and there is more than one."

He looked at the fluctuation in Victor's originally calm and deep gaze, and said with a smile:

"I'm sure you'll be satisfied with this information."
