Online game: Confession of love to a noble daughter at the beginning

"Victor!!! Do you really want to be scolded!"

A roar that resounded through the courtyard came from the mansion.

The servants outside the door shrank their necks in fear after hearing it.

They whispered to each other: "Mr. Victor and Miss are quarreling again."

"It's been a long time since we quarreled..."

The two shook their heads. They were used to it.

As long as Victor is at home, Miss Leah will definitely quarrel with him.

Leah pointed at Victor's nose and scolded: "I waited for you for so long, but the first thing you said when you came home was to ask me if I had hidden someone in the house?"

"How narrow-minded you are to think of such a thing!"

Victor stood at the door, his expression was still a poker face, and he didn't say anything back when he heard Leah's scolding.

Leah scolded for a while, and after she vented her unhappiness, she touched her head and sighed.

I thought it would be okay even if I didn't explain, but for some reason, she still explained one more sentence.

"That's a subordinate of the territory. He just came to report something. When you came back, he had already left."

Victor nodded.

"I know."

When he entered the room, he smelled a fresh fragrance coming from the room.

That was obviously not the smell of a man.

I wanted to add a few words after saying "Did you hide someone?" to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings from Leah.

Unfortunately, Leah scolded him too quickly, as if it was an instinctive reaction. He didn't even react before he was scolded.

Then?

Then he let Leah scold him.

If the other party can calm down by scolding him, Victor naturally doesn't mind being scolded a few times.

This is also the way the two of them talk, and he has long been accustomed to it.

Victor sat down at the desk again, and didn't ask Leah if she had any difficulties recently.

He believed that Leah could handle everything.

If there was a problem she couldn't solve, Leah would take the initiative to say it.

Sure enough, although Victor did not ask, Leah herself mentioned the store a little embarrassedly.

"The prop store is not very ideal."

"The explosion you expected did not happen."

"Huh? What happened?"

Victor knocked on the table, which was a bit unexpected.

He was interested in listening to Leah's explanation.

Leah reported the financial income of the prop store.

"Except for some sales on the first day, it did not attract any customers in the following days."

Victor was a little confused. According to his marketing strategy, this situation would not happen in theory.

Because there will always be people who know the goods and come to buy.

Leah also said that the potion was sold on the first day.

Word of mouth from people who use the potion should have caused an explosion effect.

Is there a problem with the player's potion?

This is almost impossible.

Is there a problem with the store's operation?

It is impossible. If Leah can't even run such a store, she can't develop her own territory so well.

Therefore, there could only be an unexpected situation.

"So, what happened?"

Liya began to explain:

"On the first day of the store, the Duke's daughter bought some potions."

Hearing this name, Victor's eyes slightly raised.

"Erica du Croix?"

Liya glanced at Victor and sneered.

"Oh, you are still thinking about your beloved lover?"

"You even remember her name so clearly."

"This joke is not funny, go on."

Victor took the initiative to stop Leah's ridicule.

Liya crossed her arms and curled her lips.

"I thought it would not be long before the effect of the potion would be revealed with Erica's fame, and a large number of mages would naturally come here."

"But the next day, Mount Vesuvius had an accident."

At this time, Leah noticed that Victor's hand that was knocking on the table paused.

There were some answers to some of the speculations in her mind.

However, she still patiently spoke for Victor.

"A large number of mages went to the volcano, and only some ordinary first-level mages were left in the capital."

"Let's not talk about whether these people can afford it. Even if they can afford it, these things are too wasteful for them."

Simply put, first-level mages are not worthy of using this thing.

"After a few days, these mages came back, and they began to unite again and collectively impeach the Duke."

"Even the emperor personally came out and summoned the Duke and those noble mages to prepare for the final conclusion"

At this point, Liya sighed helplessly.

The main face of the potion is againstThe elephant is a mage, and the capital has been in chaos recently. The mages are all busy, so how can they have time to visit the store?

Victor listened to all this with a blank expression.

He had been fighting with Gulerton inside the volcano, so he naturally didn't know what had happened in recent days.

No wonder, after the fight with Gulerton, when he appeared in the crater, he saw Erica at first sight.

He still thought he was hallucinating, after all, he had no subsequent memory after that.

When he woke up, it was Vega who told him why he had coma symptoms.

'Vega's ability should be used as little as possible in the future. '

Victor thought to himself.

After the battle, he was in a coma for four days.

Counting the three days of fighting with Gulerton, it was exactly one week.

However, the battle with Gulerton affected the real volcano, which he did not expect.

Although the volcano did not erupt, the impact of this incident affected the capital.

At this time, Liya was still complaining: "Others also said that Duke Levi stopped releasing the magic array because his daughter was missing."

"This is really funny. Let's not talk about whether the war magic will tear his daughter apart. If the volcano erupts, won't Erica, who is still on the mountain, die as well?"

Victor didn't say anything, but he agreed with Liya in his heart.

At that time, Erica climbed the volcano, which was undoubtedly a way to her own death.

The difference is that under the war magic, only Erica who appeared on the top of the mountain died.

And if the volcano erupted, all the mages and residents under the mountain would be buried with Erica.

He didn't believe that the Duke didn't understand this.

Liya shrugged after saying that

"By the way, there is one more thing."

"The emperor's decree has been delivered to the doorstep. You have to go to the palace on the day of the summons."

"You came back at the right time. If you come back a day later, you will miss it."

"Why?"

Victor was a little curious, although he already had a guess in his heart.

"You want a reason? Okay."

"Who was the only accompanying wizard who disappeared before the volcano erupted?"

Sure enough.

Victor's expression remained unchanged after getting the answer.

Seeing this, Leah stopped asking questions, she yawned and walked to the door.

"It seems that you already have a solution, then I'm going to bed."

"I will close the door of the room, but don't sneak into my room in the middle of the night just because we haven't seen each other for a long time."

With a bang, the door was slammed shut.

Victor: "......."

Do I look like the bad guy who likes to knock on girls' doors in the middle of the night?

Thinking about it carefully, he really did this.

Maybe Gwen said something to Leah.

Victor didn't care too much. Compared to this, he was more curious about why the Duke did that.

Suddenly, Vega's voice sounded out of nowhere.

"If the volcano erupts, everyone there will die, including Duke Levi himself."

"Only that little girl can survive."

"But if the magic array falls, she will definitely die."

Victor narrowed his eyes and asked lightly:

"If I fail, the volcano will erupt, and Guldun will be released."

"Do you think a second-level girl who is seriously injured can survive the natural disaster caused by the Fire Disaster?"

Vega looked up and looked at Victor deeply:

"She can talk to the disaster."

Victor was slightly startled when he heard Vega's remarks, and this time it was his turn to be confused.

Vega quickly caught Victor's reaction and was very happy.

"This is the first time I've seen you so surprised."

Vega obviously knew something, because he was sure that Erica would not die.

"In fact, I'm very curious about what the duke gave birth to her."

"By the way, have you seen the little girl's mother?"

Victor was even more silent.

Once in the game plot, this duke's daughter was also an amazing genius.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will be nineteen years old - that is, two years later.

After Victor's death, she will step into the ranks of third-level mages, breaking Victor's genius record and becoming the youngest third-level mage in the history of the empire.

It is precisely because of this that when the empire's regime changes and the new emperor ascends the throne.

Erica du Croy saved the duke's family who supported the eldest prince because of her talent.

For the time being, Victor can only think of these plots.

But when he heard Vega say this, he really noticed it for the first time.

Such a well-known NPC, no player has ever seen her mother.

EvenThere is no clue in the background story.

Is he dead? Or...

There is too little information for Victor to sort out, and he can't guess it.

Vega looked at him with some satisfaction. It turned out that there was something Victor didn't know.

It opened its beak and chirped:

"So, what are you going to do?"

"Tomorrow's summons will not only be for the Duke, but also for you. Why don't you think about how to get through it first?"

"But no one can help you."

Victor looked out the window, the moonlight fell on his cold and handsome face, and he was a little sad.

"It is normal that a righteous man will have many supporters and a wicked man will have few supporters."

"In short, Duke Levi is great as a father."

Yes, he stopped the formation and would rather let himself and the mages die in the natural disaster, and even give up innocent people.

He also wanted his daughter to survive.

In addition, the Duke's actions were indeed infuriating.

"The emperor will not let his long-time followers feel disappointed, but he must also give everyone an explanation."

"The worst outcome is nothing more than losing the title and returning to the countryside."

"That's if I don't show up."

When Vega heard Victor's last words, he said "Oh?" with interest.

"You want to help him?"

"It's called sending timely help."

Victor's eyes flashed with a cunning light like a businessman.
