Wizard: Start consuming attributes from the equipment slot.

That evening, he returned home.

Garr was unusually waiting at the door, which surprised Viktor. He followed him into the house and asked:

"What happened, Gar?"

The knight hesitated for a moment, but still asked in a low voice:

"Your Highness, what are your plans for Princess Vivian...?"

Viktor was somewhat surprised that he would ask such a question, and couldn't help but ask curiously:

Why would you ask such a question?

"I...Your Highness..."

Upon hearing Viktor's question, Galton immediately seemed hesitant to speak.

But he really couldn't bring himself to speak up... because after Vivian realized she couldn't do anything about Victor, she took her anger out on him.

Of course, Vivian wasn't stupid enough to hit or scold him, but she often made some requests that weren't easy to fulfill... such as wanting to wear expensive clothes or eat some unique food.

For Garr, Vivian was still Victor's sister, no matter what.

Even if the relationship between the two sides is actually very bad, he, as a guard, needs to stand his own position and not get involved.

Therefore, he will do his best to fulfill Vivian's requests.

However, this has indeed taken a toll on him during this period... and he even has less time to train.

Although he's physically fine, he's been experiencing a mental breakdown lately...

His hesitant expression immediately made Viktor understand what was going on.

Since they lived next door, Viktor was naturally aware of Vivian's deliberate attempts to provoke Gard and vent her anger. However, these were all trivial matters, and since Gard could do it, Viktor didn't bother to care.

I never expected that my loyal knight would come to my door today to complain about me.

It seems he's really been tortured to death... Viktor couldn't help but smile:

"I thought you were enjoying it, Gar."

"Your Highness..."

For the first time, a look of grievance appeared on Garr's face.

Viktor couldn't help but chuckle:

"Hehe~~"

"Alright, Gar, stop acting like a woman."

"I've decided to send Vivian to the academy too; she won't have time to bother you anymore soon."

Garr was startled upon hearing this:

"Your Highness, have you decided to make Princess Vivian a wizard as well?"

Victor nodded:

"That's right."

"She has the same blood as me, so she must have a good talent for witchcraft."

"There's a high probability that he can pass the academy's test and become a wizard."

"But..." Gar asked with some doubt, "But Princess Vivian still has some complaints about you. If you make her a wizard too..."

Victor shook his head:

"Don't worry, Garr, I have a way to get Vivian to cooperate with me."

"Besides, don't underestimate her... She's very smart. The wizarding world is cruel; she can't do whatever she wants just because she has a little talent."

"Once she calms down, she'll realize that cooperating with me is the best way."

"Also, she has to pay a price for wanting to become a wizard."

Hearing that Viktor seemed to have made all the plans, Gar had no more questions.

His thinking still retained many of the views of the mortal world. In his eyes, no matter what, Victor and Vivian were still siblings. Even if they were having a falling out, they were still family. Otherwise, he wouldn't have obeyed Vivian's orders and actually let himself be tormented.

"Go and call Vivian over."

Viktor sat at his desk and gave Gar a word of instruction.

Actually, he hadn't planned to confront Vivian so quickly, since, as Garr said, she still harbored many grievances against him.

But these grievances were actually quite insignificant to him.

The Feltro family members are shrewd to the core, and Vivian is one of the best among them. Despite her dissatisfaction with him, as long as he offers her something that will win her over, Vivian will have no other choice.

She might even be willing to pay a price to achieve her goals, such as bowing down to him... Of course, the other party might be thinking that she should endure it for a while and then take everything back at some point in the future.

However, Viktor believed that with the help of the equipment slots, he could never be weaker than Vivian.

In the end, strength speaks for itself in this world. As long as he is strong enough, no matter what Vivian is thinking, she will have to obediently suppress those wild thoughts... Vivian will make the right choice!

As it turned out, Victor's assessment of Vivian was correct.

Although she maintained a cold expression, Vivian's face couldn't help but show intense emotion when Victor revealed his intention to make her a wizard as well.

However, she quickly regained her composure and, instead of asking anything else, inquired:

"What is the price?"

Viktor replied:

"The price is that you must obey my orders."

Vivian gave a soft snort:

"Follow your instructions?"

"Now that I'm a wizard, why should I take your orders?"

Viktor replied calmly:

"I thought you would be smarter, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid as to ask such a question."

Vivian's expression changed slightly.

But Victor continued:

"Don't worry, my trust in you isn't even that strong to begin with."

"So we need to sign a contract... to bind you to fulfill your promises."

"Of course, if you're smart, you'll soon realize that this contract doesn't really matter, because compared to others, I'm actually a more reliable choice."

Vivian was silent for two seconds, then let out a sneer.

It seems they disregarded Viktor's statement.

But Victor didn't indulge her either, calmly asking:

"So, are you going to agree to my conditions?"

"If you agree, I can take you to the academy's test tomorrow. If you pass, you can become a wizard."

"If you refuse, then pretend I never said anything, but your usefulness to me will be reduced to zero... You need to think about what problems you need to face next."

Hearing Viktor's threats and inducements, Vivian bit her lip and clenched her fists.

Who could blame her? This annoying guy in front of her was just too annoying. His tone made it seem like he had seen right through her, as if she could be manipulated at will.

But in reality... well, it seems she really didn't have any other choice.

So she was only angry for a moment, then made her decision and spoke coldly:

"I agree to your terms!"

Viktor's lowered lips curled into a slight smile:

"Alright then."

"The contract will be signed tomorrow morning, and then I will take you to the academy to pass the tests, awaken your magic, and become a true wizard!"
