Yes?

Smells of Victor?

Leah was a little confused, and she didn't immediately understand what Gwen meant.

She looked down at the little fox in her arms, and whispered with a hint of confusion:

"It was given to me by Victor, hasn't the smell of this little guy gone away?"

It shouldn't be surprising that this little fox smells of Victor.

She muttered to herself, and looked up again in confusion, first meeting Gwen's sharp eyes.

Gwen's gaze revealed a grim scrutiny, as if to penetrate into the depths of Leah's heart.

Leah's doubts deepened, and in the face of Gwen's indecipherable attitude, she always felt that Gwen had something to say.

On the contrary, Prisis next to him was frightened by this heavy and cold atmosphere, and hurriedly proposed:

"Auntie...... And Miss Gwen. ”

"Shall we get in the carriage and then continue talking?"

Aunt?

Gwen's gaze shifted to Priss.

The cold gaze hung above Prisis's head like a sharp silver sword, making her feel an invisible pressure.

This gaze, deep and thorough, seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and made Prisis's back involuntarily chill.

"This ...... What kind of eyes is this? ”

It's scary...... Was Miss Gwen so scary before?

She had seen Gwen before, but she had never felt such a strong aura.

That was ten years ago, when Victor's father brought Miss Gwen to the Kingdom for the first time.

As far as I can remember, Miss Gwen has a fairly mild personality.

Although it is as silent as it is now, it has never had the terrifying sense of oppression that it has now.

Today's Gwen seems to be a cold ice buried under 10,000 years of ice and snow, and just looking at it is enough to make people uncomfortable.

Similarly, Gwen apparently recognized Prisis.

This girl, who has a mature figure but has not changed much in appearance compared to what she used to be, is Victor's adopted daughter.

However, she doesn't have the unique aura of Victor.

Speaking of the taste, even Gwen himself doesn't quite know how it feels.

It's just that when she sees Leah and the little fox, she can always feel a residual breath of Victor circling over them.

So, she asked Leah a special question.

Seeing that Leah's state doesn't look like she's lying.

She looked at the little fox twice, and finally relaxed her grip on Leah's arm.

Gwen didn't use much force, just grabbed Leah's arm lightly.

So, Leah didn't take it seriously,

She continued to gently stroke the little fox's pink and white fur, trying to soothe the frightened little life.

Then he raised his head again, looked at Gwen, and said:

"Let's get in the carriage first, and then talk about something in the carriage."

Gwen nodded slightly, and between her jaws, she turned and gracefully got into the carriage.

Prisis gave Leah a concerned look.

After receiving a reassuring response from Leah, she followed her into the carriage as well.

As the servant drove the carriage, the carriage began to move slowly.

The sound of hooves resounded briskly through the cobblestone streets of Surburn, traversing the heart of the city.

Heading for a territory far from the central city of Xiulbourne.

……

The slightly bumpy carriage sounded the sound of wood rubbing gently, and the golden crest of the Clavenna family glittered in the sunlight.

In the carriage, Prisis sat side by side with Lea, while Gwen sat alone across from her.

Her silver-clad hands rested silently on her knees, and her armor made a subtle metal crash as the carriage jolted.

The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat oppressive, except for the occasional jolting and the noise of the outside world, and the cabin was almost silent.

From time to time, Prissis cautiously glanced up at Gwen, but her cold expression remained the same.

And whenever Gwen's gaze met her, Prisis would panic and avoid her gaze and bow her head.

Finally, the long silence was broken by Gwen.

She gets to the point:

"Where's Victor?"

This question seems to have been expected by Leah, and is very much in line with Gwen's first and decisive character.

After all, as Victor's fiancée, Gwen hurried over after learning the news of Victor's injury.

It's also normal to be in a hurry to see Victor.

But since it's acting, you have to play a full set.

Leah shook her head without hesitation, and responded bluntly:

"I don't know."

Because she really didn't know anything about Victor's whereabouts.

When he returned, he didn't reveal his next plans to her, and left in a hurry with his injuries.

This also made Leah dissatisfied for a long time.

However, she also understands that this is exactly what Victor's righteous heart drives to avoid Gwen.

Since Gwen became stronger, he also revealed it to her.

Her righteous heart sometimes spirals out of control and functions involuntarily.

If in the past, the heart of justice was like a skill that needed to be actively activated.

Now, it seems to have become a permanent presence, with Gwen at all times.

As a result, when talking to Gwen, Leah always tries to be honest or chooses to remain silent.

Leah has thought about this question sometimes, too.

Perhaps, Gwen herself realizes that her righteous heart can cause trouble for others.

This is also the reason why she has become more silent and barely communicates with others.

After realizing that Leah wasn't lying, Gwen nodded slightly.

Her gaze looked at Leah deeply, and she went on to ask another question:

"So, where are the people who hurt Victor?"

This sentence is clearly directed at Archduke Barlow.

Because the news of the conflict between Grand Duke Barlow and Victor was spread by her.

But after hearing this question, Leah fell silent.

Prisis, on the other hand, widened her eyes in disbelief, looking back and forth between Gwen and Lia in surprise.

Initially, Leah also guessed that Gwen might have come this time to "avenge" Victor.

Sure enough, Gwen did have such thoughts.

But if this happens, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Because in the strict sense of the word, Gwen also belongs to the guardians of the empire,

If he fights with Archduke Barlow, who is also the guardian of the kingdom, it will be tantamount to triggering a war between the two countries.

Of course, in fact, the conflict between Archduke Barlow and Victor, the empire also had a reason to go to war against the kingdom.

It's just that Leah doesn't know how Victor did it.

How on earth did he get Empress Aurelian to willingly revoke his citizenship of the Empire?

As a result, the fighting between the two sides did not affect the relationship between the two countries.

Although Leah didn't understand what exactly Victor was going to do, based on the matter, Leah thought.

Victor probably didn't want a war between the two countries.

So the question...... How could she answer?

She knew that the Grand Duke of Barlow should be in Barlow County at this time.

But in the face of Gwen's righteous heart, any hesitation may reveal her contradictions.

After much deliberation, she chose silence in response.

In the end, Gwen seemed to understand Leah's silence and didn't ask any further questions.

At this moment, the atmosphere inside the carriage fell silent again.

The silence was awkward, and Prisis felt like pins and needles on the side.

No wonder...... No wonder Miss Gwen is Dad's fiancée......

Thinking of Victor's character, Prisis only felt that the two Jane were a natural pair.

She wanted to say something to ease the murderous atmosphere, but she couldn't say anything.

At this moment, there was a sudden and violent jolt outside the carriage.

Syllable!

A dull crash followed, and the carriage tilted slightly.

The horses in front of them panicked, raised their front hooves and let out a long chirp.

Due to the sudden braking of the carriage, Leah nearly fell forward, almost hitting Gwen on the other side.

After steading her body, Leah frowned, and the anger in her heart churned like a raging flame.

She looked around the Western Week and noticed that both Prisis and Gwen were acting unusually calm.

This aroused her dissatisfaction even more, and she was the only one who felt humiliated.

"What the hell is going on?"

Prisis poked her head out and looked curiously ahead.

I saw that the horses in front of me could not pull the carriage with all their might, and the coachman looked panicked and hurriedly drove the horses.

Turning his head, he saw Prisis who was looking at him, and hurriedly responded:

"I'm sorry, Lord Prisis, we seem to have encountered robbers."

Bandit?

Hearing this, Prisis admits that her cerebellum has shrunk a little.

She had also heard that in the past, the security in the kingdom was not very good, and there were always robbers on the road occasionally.

Pick out the wealthy-looking wagons and set traps on the road.

As soon as the carriage passes through such a remote road, the wheels will sink into the ditch and move forward.

But that was a long time ago.

Especially in terms of the current security in Shulbourne, there should not be such a robbery.

The most important thing is that the family crest on her carriage should not have been removed, right?

This should still be the carriage of the Clavenna family, right?

Who was so bold as to rob the carriage of the Klavenner family?

Prisis looked down and saw that indeed the wheels had fallen into a pothole, and the two horses could not pull out at all.

Immediately afterward, a group of masked people suddenly appeared around.

They were armed with all kinds of weapons, and they were full of strong breaths, and there were about seventeen or eighteen of them.

If ordinary people encounter this situation, I am afraid that they will not be able to get out easily, and they may really be willingly robbed.

At this moment, Liya, who was sitting in the carriage, sighed helplessly:

"Alas......"

She couldn't figure out how she would be robbed by robbers one day.

Prisis heard the sigh, feeling panicked and guilty.

After all, this happened in her territory.

And Aunt Liya also helped her a lot in order to help her keep her territory.

As a result, there are robbers in her territory, and it happens to be their carriage!

Miss Leah must be disappointed right now.

Thinking of this, a fire also flickered in Prissis's heart, and she turned to Leah and said:

"Auntie, let me go down and deal with them."

They didn't bring an escort on this trip, and now it must be most appropriate for her lord to go down.

But before she could get out of the car, Leah stopped her:

"No, it shouldn't be."

Before Prisis could comprehend the reason, she felt a chill waft from outside the carriage and involuntarily shrank her neck.

Because at some point, Gwen had already gotten out of the carriage.

With the long sword at her waist in one hand, she walked to the front of the carriage with steady steps.

Following the source of the chill, Liya with her hands on the car window looked at this scene and said with a faint smile:

"Justice is ready to be executed."
