A huge eye was suspended in the chaotic sky, and drops of black mist were seeping out from the edges.

Angus felt a chill on the back of his neck and looked to both sides suddenly.

At some point, the earth was covered with indescribable strange things.

They looked like people, but they were not.

The five limbs seemed to be dislocated and constantly twisted, and everyone's facial features were mechanically performing strange rituals under the giant eye.

Angus stood up and looked behind him.

The dark believers that spread for thousands of miles all revealed horror and ominousness.

Soon, those inhuman creatures supported themselves and stood up. They barely pulled their decadent bodies and began to dance in circles in the opposite direction, as if welcoming the gods observing the world in the sky.

A huge crow flew in the air, its beak slowly opened, and several swirling tongues were raised in the air, catching the black smoke seeping from the sky in its mouth.

Various crazy scenes flashed in one eye in an instant.

Angus's head was held down by a giant hand, and he was forced to turn it back. His eyeballs seemed to be pinched by someone and he stared at the crow.

The moment he looked at the scene in the crow's eyes, Angus's reason began to collapse.

Everything in front of him seemed to become more fluctuating, and the obscure calls from the believers became gradually clearer.

His eyes seemed to be eroded by smoke, becoming turbid and unclear, and he slowly muttered:

"God."

......

The monotonous black of the ancient tree covered the entire room, and only a few wild animal furs added some color to the room.

Kefla sat on a chair, leaning against the back of the seat, holding a teacup, facing a thin man.

The man in front of her was her younger brother.

Jash Delin.

The man was relatively handsome, with straight and three-dimensional features, and always had a kind smile on his face.

His body did not have strong muscles, and he seemed a little too thin in the knight family.

Kefla was a little anxious, and she kept putting the teacup on the table and picking it up again.

The conference room had been quiet for such a long time, and she didn't know what her father and Victor had talked about.

"Sister, please be patient."

Jia Xiu seemed to see Kefla's restlessness, and he smiled and comforted her.

Kefla looked at Jia Xiu, adjusted her mood a little, shrugged her shoulders, and said to her brother:

"It seems that you want to talk to me about something?"

"Tell me, what do you and your father want to do?"

Call Gwen back to talk about the engagement, and even call Victor together.

Kefla could only think of changing the engagement.

But her father excluded her, so Kefla was even more confused.

What exactly did they want to do?

Jia Xiu took Kefla's cup with the remaining tea, replaced it with another one, refilled it with hot tea, and smiled.

In this extremely cold place, a cup of warm tea is simply the best.

He pushed the hot tea in front of Kefla, and said casually.

"Sister, what is your standard for judging justice?"

Kefla frowned, a little confused.

Why ask this?

"You are older than me, and you should know better than me what kind of character my father was back then."

Hearing Jia Xiu's words, Kefla lowered her head, as if she was in a long memory.

When she was very young, the Delin family was not in the northern border of the empire, so she had a deep impression of her childhood.

At that time, Thor VIII had just ascended to the throne not long ago, and it was the time when he needed to win over the hearts of the people and consolidate his position.

At that time, Angus was also one of Emperor Obery's capable men.

But his justice was more paranoid than Gwen today.

It even reached a pathological level.

He could not tolerate any evil in his eyes.

Once there was an existence that did not meet his standards of justice, he would only completely wipe it out.

As a politician, Kefla naturally knows what's going on between the nobles.

There are kindhearted nobles who do charity and help the poor, and there are also many nobles who exploit farmers and workers and do evil things.

If Kefla is asked to make a criterion for judging kindness.

Judge by deeds, not by heart.

But Angus was different at that time.

Even those nobles who do charity, once Angus knows that their motives are not pure.

Then this powerful knight will let them taste the sharpness of the sword.

So this paranoia can no longer be called justice.

But Kefla didn't understand these when she was a child. She was like an ordinary daughter who worshipped her father who was upright.

Until Emperor Obery thought that Angus's paranoid justice was out of control.

So he asked the Delin family to move toThe Northern Frontier was sent to guard this cold land.

Although guarding the Northern Frontier was still a very important position, it was tantamount to the emperor's distrust of Angus at that time.

So, Angus felt that his faith had suffered a heavy blow.

He believed that everything he did was right.

But even the monarch who followed him thought he was wrong, so what was the point of him maintaining this justice?

Angus, who moved to the north, began to abide by the law, recruited apprentices here, carried forward his knight's school, and guarded the Northern Frontier with all his heart.

His justice was no longer so paranoid, and he even seemed to have forgotten the justice he had in his heart.

Later, Kefla grew up, and his younger brother Jiaxiu gradually showed his talent and edge.

Finally, Gwen was born.

Kefla liked his sister very much, but for some reason, both his father and Jiaxiu seemed to avoid this sister.

Until Gwen grew up and showed her extraordinary ability.

A heart of justice.

As a result, Gwen has never received love from her parents since she was a child.

The righteous Angus is no longer righteous, so Gwen's birth is more like a mockery and shame for Angus.

At least, Kefla once thought so.

"So why are you talking to me about this?"

"This seems to have nothing to do with the engagement between Gwen and Victor."

Jia Xiu shook his head and said with a smile.

"No, of course it is related."

"The engagement between the two can no longer continue."

Hearing Jia Xiu's answer, Kefla was a little confused. She looked at Jia Xiu, looking at this shocking brother, as if she wanted to get a suitable answer from him.

"Why?"

The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point, and it seemed that even the air could form ice crystals.

Jia Xiu sighed.

"Now that things have come to this, it's time for you to know something."

"Do you really think Gwen's sense of justice is just an ordinary innate ability?"

Hearing her brother's words, Kefla's face suddenly darkened and she became extremely serious.

Jia Xiu continued to speak indifferently.

"If you have read the description of the goddess of justice, then you will feel how similar that goddess is to Gwen."

"The same paranoid justice, the same ability to examine good and evil."

Jia Xiu's cold words were heard by Kefla word by word.

Kefla understood everything.

Why, father, has always been silent about Gwen.

Why, do they want to cancel Gwen's engagement with Victor?

"Because Gwen needs to maintain this justice all the time, so no one can influence her."

Victor is the one who may influence her.

Gwen can't like anyone, she can't look forward to anyone.

Once those unnecessary feelings arise, then the justice in the heart will be biased.

So Gwen has never been exposed to family affection since she was a child.

As for the illusory love?

Oh, her engagement partner is Victor.

If it was the former Victor, it would be fine if the marriage continued.

Because Gwen, who hates Victor, will not be affected by Victor's justice in her heart.

And now Victor is influencing Gwen imperceptibly.

Anyone can see that Gwen's feelings for Victor have gradually changed.

"So, she must always maintain absolute justice in her heart."

"...Is that so."

Kefula was silent for a while, and then looked at Jia Xiu jokingly.

"You and your father want Gwen to become the goddess of justice?"

"Not me, but your father."

Jia Xiu corrected the mistake in Kefula's words and smiled indifferently.

"From the beginning to the end, my father has always been a believer of the goddess."

"Never changed."

...

"How funny."

Kefula suddenly laughed out loud, with some sadness in her laughter.

"In my eyes, he has never changed."

"Although I know that he is not acting for profit, but now, his behavior makes me even more disgusted."

Swish!

A silver-white dagger was pressed against Jia Xiu's neck in an instant.

Jia Xiu sat in the chair without moving at all, as if it was not him who was restricted in life.

Kefula's slightly trembling voice sounded:

"Gwen is his daughter, my sister, and a living person!"

"Just because of that illusory legend, she lost the love and life that a normal girl should have."

"Jia Xiu, are you not a human being too?"

Jia Xiu pulled out one hand and slowly put the dagger against his neck.The dagger was slightly moved away.

"Sister, family affection accounts for too much of your feelings."

As if he was extremely sure that Kefla would never do anything, he said lightly:

"Some things are worth doing for my father's whole life, and as his heir, I should also share his worries."

Kefla's hands were a little weak, she tried to hold the dagger tightly and put it against Jia Xiu's neck again, but she couldn't do it.

As Jia Xiu said, family affection accounts for too much of Kefla.

But...

"I'm sorry, you have failed."

Kefla put away the dagger, her expression was neither sad nor happy, just slowly explained.

"Gwen's sense of justice has failed."

"......?"

Suddenly, there was a shocking explosion in the conference room, and the powerful air wave even shook the glass of Kefla's house wildly.

The huge explosion completely attracted the attention of the two.

Kefla was stunned.

What's going on?

Victor had a fight with his father-in-law?
