Boom Boom Boom –

A loud bang rang out around the exterior of the Cravena Mansion.

The sound of the close clash of steel and the shock of the heavy armor on the earth made the earth and the mansion seem to tremble.

At this moment, countless heavily armed iron cavalry royal guards were holding glittering silver swords and riding on the back of a majestic giant horse draped in iron armor.

Each knight wears a cold-light iron helmet that only shows its eyes.

The eyes that had experienced the vicissitudes of life burst out with an undoubted fierce look.

They gathered not far from the gate of the Klevenna Mansion, lined up in two rows, and held their swords erect in front of them.

And the people in charge of guarding the door of the Clavenna Mansion were all on guard after seeing this spectacular scene in front of them.

There are even many subhumans who have hid in the shadows, putting their hands on the weapons at their waists.

But soon, they quickly let their guard down.

Because a Yonghua carriage pulled by five horses has slowly approached.

As the servant stepped forward respectfully, he cautiously opened the car door.

The figure in the carriage only then appeared in everyone's sight.

It was a woman in a wide robe, the surface of which was shiny.

The garments made of gold and silk sparkle in the sunlight and emit a brilliant golden glow.

Her dreamy silver hair, like a galaxy of stars, fell like a waterfall.

Even in the light of the costume, it is still shining silver and beautiful.

The two rays of light are intertwined, making it mysterious and fascinating.

At the same time, a crown studded with various heterochromatic gemstones stood peacefully on top of the falling silver hair.

Its brilliant light seems to overwhelm all the glitz and glitz around it, proclaiming the supreme majesty of the land.

The Empress stooped slightly, stepped out of the carriage, and stepped onto the earth.

The ankle-length robe floats gently under the influence of magic, never touching the ground.

Behind her to the right, the guard Celia followed with her hands behind her back.

At this moment, the Empress raised her head and looked at the Clevenna Mansion in front of her.

Her calm and majestic eyes lowered slightly at the sight of the scene in front of her.

A faint sense of indifference and nostalgia overflowed from the crystal under his eyes.

Back then, she was the same.

With a group of guards, the first one came to the door of the mansion and visited Mr. Victor in person.

At that time, Mr. Victor still lived in the mansion of the royal capital and served as a professor at the Academy of Magic.

Moreover, he has just become her teacher.

Thinking of this, the empress's somewhat dazed gaze refocused, and her dignified and majestic demeanor was restored.

This time, she was already the Empress of the Carencian Empire.

Victor, on the other hand, is no longer her teacher.

"Victor, this time...... I'm not going to let you escape. ”

When the guards on both sides heard Aurelian's murmur, they clenched the blades in their hands, and the ferocity in their eyes became even more obvious.

It seems that the Empress's resentment towards Victor is deep, and his arrest and imprisonment seem imminent.

Obviously, Victor used to be the teacher of Her Majesty the Empress, but for the safety of the empire, His Majesty no longer left the slightest affection.

This kind of feat of righteous annihilation of relatives has made countless guards very admired.

They clenched the long sword in their hands even tighter, and their waists, which were originally straight enough, were even more upright.

Under the watchful eyes of countless guards and empresses, several figures slowly walked out of the center of the gate of the Clavenna mansion.

Victor was still the same as before, with his hands in his pockets and his expression extremely calm.

Liya and Xiangzilan, who were beside him, also came with him.

Xiang Zilan lowered her head when she saw the empress, looking a little weak.

Leah, on the other hand, was worried, keeping her eyes on Victor.

Victor, on the other hand, seems to be unconcerned about his imminent arrest.

As if all this was taken for granted.

The three of them soon came to the Empress.

The empress glanced at Xiang Zilan on the side, and said lightly:

"Xiang Zilan, for the sake of Victor is your master, you will be exempted from knowing and not reporting it."

The so-called failure to report is naturally the act of not reporting to the empress in time after knowing that Victor was in the empire.

If someone else had made such a big mistake, it would have been an inescapable culpability.

However, the empress's words spared Xiang Zilan from this punishment.

Although this is clearly a cover-up, no one can find fault with it, on paper.

After all, the empress has made it clear that Victor is the owner of Xiangzilan.

Thus, the behavior of Vanilla can also be regarded as an act of loyalty.

"However, the vacation you were given before doesn't count. From today onwards, you must stay in the palace. ”

"You can only return to the Clavenna house if I agree."

This kind of punishment is hardly actually a punishment, it is not painful at all.

However, after hearing this order, Xiang Zilan could only nod helplessly, and a wave of sadness and pain welled up in her heart.

The holidays are gone, and I can no longer happily fish at home.

Immediately after, the Empress turned her head and looked at Leah next to her.

The mistress of the Clavenna family in front of her is also the sister of Teacher Victor.

At this time, her eyes no longer had the sorrow in her eyes when Victor left.

The few strands of gray hair that had been born of deep longing have also disappeared, and have been replaced by jet-black and thick hair that falls down to the shoulders.

It was as if her body was warmly moistened by the stream called life.

The sadness and boredom of the past had vanished, making her seem to be younger.

The Empress looked at Leah's appearance and couldn't help but mistakenly think that she was back ten years ago.

I can't help but sigh in my heart, is this the feeling brought by relatives who have been reunited for a long time?

I didn't expect that in Liya's heart, Victor's brother was so important.

This is really an enviable family affection.

However, thinking about family affection, the empress's eyes involuntarily dimmed a little.

But she still didn't forget to say to Leah:

"Marquis Leah."

Lia was still worried, thinking about how to intercede for Victor, and discussed with the empress to let Victor go.

But on second thought, she and the empress didn't seem to know each other very well.

Therefore, he could only stand silently behind Victor, entangled in his heart.

As a result, hearing the title of the empress, Liya was immediately stunned, and her brain was down.

"Huh? I? ”

Marquis? How did I suddenly become a marquis?

Her eyes were full of confusion, and when she saw Aurelian, she nodded affirmatively:

"Victor is no longer a nobleman, but his faults have nothing to do with the Kravina family."

"Therefore, his title should be succeeded by you."

As soon as the words fell, Aurelian turned her head slightly and gestured to Celia behind her.

Celia immediately understood the Empress's intentions and brought her hands behind her back to her side.

She held a small brocade plate firmly in her hand, and in the center lay a pair of medallions that shone with golden light.

It was the Imperial Medal, which symbolized the Marquis.

The lion-like emblem is adorned with western stars made of heterochromatic gemstones, shining in the west.

Aurelian then picked up the medal with one hand, walked up to Leah, and personally wore it on her chest.

During the whole process, Liya's brain was blank, completely stunned and confused.

The many royal guards on both sides glanced at each other, and their pupils were full of envy.

Oh my God, she was able to get Her Majesty the Empress to bestow the medal herself!

This is a great honor!

They don't even dare to think about it!

And Leah was full of doubts, and then reacted.

No, Victor is a count, how did he become a marquis when he came to her?

And deliberately promoted her to a level?

Perhaps Aurelian saw the confusion in Leah's eyes, or perhaps to explain it to others, she continued:

"Ten years ago, you should have succeeded the Marquis."

"But you turned down the knighthood."

Ten years ago, Victor's contribution to the empire was immense.

So much so that after his 'death', Aurelian posthumously gave him the title of Marquis.

But Leah believed that Victor could come back, so she didn't inherit the title.

In addition, Victor failed to show up in the empire after he returned, so the promotion was also over.

Then, another guard approached with a large wooden tray in both hands.

It was covered with a layer of red silk cloth and looked bulging.

When he walked up to Leah, he held the bottom of the plate with one hand and lifted the red cloth with the other.

Now, a pile of heavy gold bars shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight,

This glittering scene made Liya's eyes look at it.

After all, in her life, the first thing she likes is Victor, and the second is that she likes money.

But what's going on with this pile of gold bars?

Leah restrained her emotions slightly, but her eyes still involuntarily glanced towards the gold bar.

Immediately after, the Empress continued:

"This is your reward for taking control of the criminal Victor and submitting it to the Empire."

Huh? I? What did I do?

She didn't do anything, she just returned to the empire with Victor?

Thinking of this, Leah looked back at Victor behind her.

Seeing that the other party nodded lightly to her, signaling that the money could be accepted.

Seeing this, Liya was stunned again, couldn't help but open her mouth, and subconsciously said:

"Thank you...... Thank you, Your Majesty? ”

How does it feel that something is not right?

Didn't Her Majesty the Empress come to arrest people? Why did you give her a knighthood and a bounty?

"Let's go, Victor."

"I hope you don't resist."

As soon as he finished speaking, two heavily armed guards with heavy shackles and chains walked up and were about to cuff Victor to him.

But before they could come up, they inadvertently met Victor's cold gaze.

The body hidden under the heavy armor seemed to flow through a burst of electricity, and suddenly felt that the body was weak,

But in front of the empress, they must not show weakness.

He could only rely on his firm will to stand firmly, with cold sweat on his head and his body trembling slightly.

According to the empress's orders, they were ready to come forward and cuff Victor.

After all, this is the standard procedure for arresting prisoners.

However, when they actually meet Victor's gaze, they suddenly realize that something is wrong.

No, I'm Cao, this is Victor......

Lend them eight guts, and they don't dare to torture this master......

The two looked at each other, swallowed each other's saliva, and hesitated.

At this time, they heard Aurelian behind them sigh softly, as if a little disappointed, and said:

"Forget it, don't torture him, let him ride in my carriage."

Yes?

At this moment, the heavily armored guards on both sides and the guards with shackles in their hands were all stunned.

Their eyes were all focused on the Empress with shock, and they were dumbfounded.

And what's going on?

The criminals who need to be seized actually want to return in a carriage with the empress?

As they were confused, Aurelian gradually frowned.

Then he was questioned with unquestionable majesty:

"Or do you think you can keep him?"

Plausible.

In fact, except for Her Majesty the Empress, no one on the field could surpass Victor in combat power.

Whether it can even defeat Victor is probably unknown to the empress herself.

So the task of controlling Victor can really only be completed by the empress herself.

Seeing that the others no longer doubted, the empress secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then secretly glanced at Victor again.

Seeing that Victor did not stop any longer, without saying a word, he walked straight to the carriage.

He stepped into the carriage with swift and decisive movements.

Seeing this, the empress couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

Seeing that no one noticed the change in her mood, she quickly and quietly resumed her dignified and majestic posture.

Later, escorted by Celia, she also boarded the carriage.

After the empress got into the carriage, she seemed to say casually, and left a sentence:

"Return to the royal capital."

With that, the curtain of the carriage fell again, obscuring the scene inside the carriage and making it impossible to peek inside.

Seeing this, many of the guards also drove their horses one after another, followed by the luxurious carriage, and lined up in two columns.

For a moment, the crunch of the grass and the crash of the guards' armor mingled.

The horses neighed slightly, dissipating in the rolling wrap of the wheels.

Seeing this, Xiang Zilan was stunned.

"Meow? What should I do? ”

She glanced at the prisoner cart next to her.

It was supposed to be used to hold criminals, but now it seems to be ......

Could it be that she wants to sit on that thing?

If she doesn't sit, what should she do, and walk to the royal capital with a song? Don't you die of exhaustion?

But suddenly, a force came from the back of her neck and lifted her head into the air.

Xiang Zilan was so frightened that she "meowed", and her body stiffened.

Seeing that he was carried to the front of the carriage, Celia's voice came to his ears:

"You, come with me in the carriage."

Xiang Zilan blinked and nodded:

"Good...... Okay meow. ”

The procession of the palace slowly moved away, leaving Liya standing stunned with the gold bar in her hand.

Then, she looked down at the gold bar in her hand, and finally realized where the feeling that something was wrong just now came from.

Convoy, bride price, kiss ......

Then, Leah's eyes widened, and she blurted out in surprise:

"This ...... The Empress ran away and married Victor!? ”
