"It's in the Duke's Mansion. We've been keeping an eye on it for a week. You don't need me to help you go in and look for it, right?"

Not paying attention to W's provocation, Vina simply nodded:

"Thank you."

"...Tsk, it seems like she's the type I totally dislike."

Seeing His Majesty the King not only thanking him but also showing a sincere expression, W suddenly curled his lips in discomfort.

"Where's our master? He's not here?"

Vina blinked.

When she arrived, the Doctor seemed to still be on the phone with Abbrana in her bed.

"The Doctor has something else to do."

"Tsk, it's in a woman's bed, right?"

"..."

Okay, guessed right.

W immediately waved his hand in boredom.

"You guys go do whatever you need to do. Get me a ticket back home. I want to go back and claim my reward!"

"……it is good."

Chapter 434: Aledai: Victoria's future still depends on me (?√)

Somewhat unexpectedly, but not so surprisingly, they did not encounter any obstruction when entering the Duke of Caister's Mansion.

Vina and Aleda came all the way to the Duke of Caister's bedside, with no one guarding them.

One of the three most powerful grand dukes in Victoria lay quietly on the hospital bed in front of them, leaning against the headboard and looking out the window alone.

"It's over... Your Excellency the Duke."

Aledae spoke with a complicated expression.

When she escaped from Londinium a few months ago, who could have imagined that the Duke of Caster, who was like a mountain that made it almost difficult for her to breathe, would lie in front of her in such a weak state today.

The former impoverished duke's heir and the future king who came from a small street gang, both of their destinies were once manipulated by the Duke of Caster.

The Steam Knight was framed, the king was hanged, and loyal Cumberland fell into decline... It can be said that the sufferings she and Vina experienced were inseparable from the Duke of Caster.

But as if it was a story she had long since disbelieved, they came over and stood there.

"Ha ha……"

The Duke, who was looking out the window, responded, "Yeah, it's over."

She slowly turned her head and looked at the two young women in the room.

"I've thought of many futures, including scenarios where I could meet you two, but none of them are where I am now."

"...Have you ever regretted it?"

Vina suddenly spoke.

"I never regret it. If I were to do it again, I would still make the same choice."

Kaister's answer was decisive. "I can only sigh. Even in the end, the person who truly defeated me didn't want to appear in front of me!"

"..."

Vina and Aledae fell silent.

They all knew very well who was responsible for this dramatic reversal, and they also knew that it was absolutely impossible for them to win the victory on their own, at least not now.

But Caister's emotions only fluctuated for a brief moment before turning into a frank wry smile.

As a seasoned politician, she actually understood why the future king and her loyal future duke were standing before her.

This is to build momentum.

Victoria's future king needed a legendary story of victory and legend, and the king should be the protagonist of this story.

The person who didn't even want Seungri to be there, decided that she would become a stepping stone on the road to the future king's ascension to the throne.

She looked at the Breath of Kings in Vina's hand.

“Victoria, Victoria… Ha, ha, who could have thought that this glorious name would one day be held in the hands of someone else.

Come, take the laurels of your victory, and may you truly lead this country into your future."

"..."

Vina didn't move.

"I will not kill you. As you said, I hold Victoria in my hands. You do not have the honor to bear the weight of Victoria."

The young king spoke calmly.

"You don't need to make insinuations about who is holding Victoria's helm and whether it is us who decide the future of this country.

I know better than you that the Doctor is different from us, and different from everyone else, and he will not be trapped by Victoria."

Vina looked directly into Caister's eyes:

"Your fate will naturally be met with a fair trial after we recapture Londinium and Victoria regains unity and stability.

I will not kill you, nor will I raise my sword against you out of hatred... nor do you deserve it."

Vina calmly turned around and walked out of the room just as she said.

The Duke of Caister, lying on the hospital bed, was stunned at first, and then suddenly laughed.

The laughter grew louder and louder, reaching the corridor where Vena was walking peacefully. There was no joy or mockery, and it did not bring any more ripples to the young king's face.

……

"It turns out that our King hasn't left yet."

Downstairs in the Duke's Mansion, Aleda, who had just come out, saw Vina waiting outside and couldn't help but complain.

"Sorry, I made a decision on my own..."

"That's not what I'm talking about,"

His Majesty the King made a handsome statement and then left in such a cool manner. As a result, she was the one who was busy with the placement of the Duke of Caster. This was the reason for her complaint.

but,

"never mind,"

Looking at Vina's sincere attitude, Aledai relaxed her shoulders helplessly, "Your decision is indeed correct, because Caister is not the only one who was hurt by the two of us, but also many people in this country. She shouldn't be judged by just the two of us.

but,

Could you please say hello to me next time?"

Aledea put her hands on her hips in annoyance.

Vina wagged her tail innocently.

"It was only when Duke Caister said those words to me that I really made the decision. I was thinking about it the whole way..."

"Uh, no wonder you always have that expression. I thought you were so calm in the face of adversity."

Thinking of Vina's perfect poker face in front of the crowd along the way, but actually she was distracted and thinking about other things, Aleda suddenly wanted to cover her face.

But then again,

"Even if it's a last-minute decision, you're saying things like that. You're increasingly reminding me of the King..."

Aleda's tone was somewhat emotional.

The gang girl who knew nothing back then now said things and made decisions that made her admire and agree with them, which made her sigh.

The destruction of their parents and even the entire family was indelibly linked to Duke Caister, so she knew very well what it felt like to have hatred surge in one's heart when facing an enemy waiting to be killed in front of one.

But it was Vina, who grew up in a street gang, who made a decision that was so king-like that she had to admire him for it while she was still immersed in hatred.

From this perspective, Luo Hang's role as a teacher was indeed not in vain.

Facing Aledae's sigh, His Majesty the King, who had been very handsome in front of the Duke of Caister before, now looked a little hesitant and tilted to one side.

"I just felt that... the doctor had already helped me so much, and I shouldn't let him down, so... I made up my mind."

"..."

The emotion on Aleda's face quickly turned stiff.

She raised a hand and placed it on Vina's shoulder. She moved closer to the King, whose eyes were wandering, and asked another question with narrowed eyes:

"So, have you thought about how to deal with the situation here next?"

"..."

Vina's ears moved a little, and seeing that Aledae had no intention of letting go, she had to whisper back,

"Go home and ask the doctor."

Are you going to ask in bed?

Aledae roared inwardly.

She raised her hand expressionlessly.

It seems I still need to help look after Victoria's future.

……

Luo Hang on his way back to Rhode Island.

He tilted his head blankly.

"……what?"

Chapter 435 The scumbag's busy work begins

After conquering the Castle Territory, he should have been busy with work.

...In fact, that was indeed the case. However, due to his profession, which he always joked about, the situation was slightly different from what is usually considered "busy".

"Vina, your performance this time has truly surprised me. Duke Caister can die, but not now. I anticipated many answers you could give, and you undoubtedly gave me the best one. As your teacher, I'm very happy and proud of this."

"On the other hand—"

"Is there any reward you want?"

He raised his hand to pull up the W underwear in front of him, while sliding open the light screen, calling out the remote control to start the test mode, and then looked at Vina who was standing in his office with Aleda who had a subtle look in her eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.

With his two plump and powerful snow-white long legs bare, W didn't care about the two people who just came in. He just sat on Luo Hang's desk very casually, wagging his tail, and even jumped off the desk out of curiosity and walked a few steps barefoot.

Is this one a bit weak?

"—!"

Wait.

↗↗↗↗

"—!!"

"Goo!"

W held onto the corner of the table, his legs starting to tremble.

"——!!!"
