Chapter 229: Western Fantasy Villain Gao Ao Jin (43)
Shen Zhaowan laughed: "What do you want me to do? Who are you?"
Even Geoda had to speak to him politely, but Shen Zhaowan showed no respect at all. Balchi looked unhappy: "Your sister died, but you don't seem to be sad at all. You appeared at the scene again. Can I conclude that Emilia's death is related to you?"
Shen Zhaowan looked back with contempt: "Is there any evidence?"
What Balchi didn't say was that, based on the time calculation, when Emilia was in trouble, the statues in the temple also trembled and overflowed with holy light.
Shen Zhaowan continued, "The daughter of a mistress has no right to be my sister. If she dies, she might have done too many evil things! The God of Light wants to take back her talent!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Balchi narrowed his eyes. This expression made Shen Zhaowan come up with an absurd and bold guess.
Balchi: "Do you dare to swear? To the God of Light?" He pointed the magic wand in his hand at the ground, drew a pattern, and formed a contractual magic circle.
Balchi's unprovoked behavior had already made Shen Zhaowan look unhappy. Geoda, who was standing by, also noticed Balchi's unfriendly behavior, which seemed to be different from what he thought. Forcing her to question her child in front of a duke also made him feel dissatisfied.
"You want to find the answer, but this is not the way it should be. This is in my manor!"
Geoda's warning did not stop Balchi, as if he did not take him seriously.
Shen Zhaowan suddenly asked: "Teacher Balchi, do you dare? Do you dare to say that you have always been innocent?"
Shen Zhaowan dares to swear, but does Balchi dare?
When the situation was at a stalemate, Geoda angrily said, "Balchi, you want to involve more people in this matter, right?" He slowly softened his tone and said, "I know you can't accept Emilia's death, and neither can I. It's her honor to study with you. Now is not the time for you to slander my child without evidence. The important thing is to wait for the notification from the academy."
Shen Zhaowan and Balchi looked at each other, both with dislike for each other in their eyes, but Geoda's words gave the two people in the stalemate a way out.
Balchi: "Hmph. I'll wait." He put away the magic circle and quickly disappeared.
"Ivica, why didn't you swear just now?" Geoda called out to Shen Zhaowan.
Shen Zhaowan knew that her father was beginning to be suspicious again? She made up a random excuse: "I just can't stand him challenging your authority. You are the Duke. If I were really so obedient, what would happen to your face?"
Georda: "He is from the Temple."
"He is not the Holy Son. I heard that he is just a figurehead and is only responsible for some simple tasks. But you are the first duke of the empire?"
Such words made Geoda feel comfortable. Without the title of the temple, Balchi seemed to be nothing more than that.
"Okay, you go ahead and get busy."
……
At noon, Shen Zhaowan finally waited for Kaillion to come back from his busy work.
"Brother, you are very busy these days. Are you leaving?"
Kellyon was a little tired. He also missed Shen Zhaowan and touched her head. "Ivica, you are so smart."
"I will be leaving tomorrow. His Highness just told me that I will be going to the battlefield with him to kill the enemy and deal with the epidemic that has appeared."
"Are you in such a hurry?" Shen Zhaowan asked.
"Well, don't worry about me." Kellyon comforted him. He would be away for a long time this time. He had never been away for such a long time before, and he felt reluctant to leave.
Shen Zhaowan heaved a sigh of relief, and she felt the same way: "Brother, you'll be gone for a long time, right? Then you have to pack your things quickly and make good preparations."
"Fusi, go quickly and prepare everything, clothes, potions, okay?"
"Yes, Miss Ivissa."
Kellyon laughed: "Ivica, why do I feel like you are chasing me away!"
Shen Zhaowan hit him angrily: "Forget it, Fu..."
"I was wrong. You have grown up. You must protect yourself well when I am not around."
"understood!"
……
At night, Shen Zhaowan couldn't sleep.
She suddenly stood up and stood in front of the window in a trance...
When it was almost dawn, Shen Zhaowan rubbed her brows and prepared to see Kelion off.
"Miss Ivissa, Lord Kelion is talking to the Duke. Please wait for a moment."
Shen Zhaowan glanced in the direction of her father's study, then walked to the lawn in front of the manor and waited. The servants had already loaded the carriage with things.
"Ivica."
Shen Zhaowan turned around: "Brother."
Kailiong looked even more reluctant, his eyes reddened before Shen Zhaowan's: "You must protect yourself. When I'm not around, you should control your temper. If father gets angry, no one will protect you, understand?"
"I know. You've told me so many times that I've memorized it."
"Oh, okay, I'll write from time to time."
His eyes were filled with emotions that Shen Zhaowan could not understand for the first time. She just thought that Kailion was soft-hearted and particularly reluctant to let him go.
"Brother, don't worry."
As they walked to the front of the carriage, they suddenly stopped.
Amidst the shadows of the forest, a more luxurious carriage was parked there. It was unknown how long it had stayed there.
Kerion's eyes straightened, "I'll go take a look."
After a while, he turned back and nervously led Shen Zhaowan over.
The side door of the carriage was not opened, and a sonorous voice came from inside: "Miss Ivissa."
Shen Zhaowan recognized that this was the voice of the Grand Prince: "Your Highness, good evening."
"We were unable to have a good chat last time, and this time I have to take your brother to the battlefield. I hope Miss Ivissa doesn't mind."
"My brother has his own choice, but I hope he can return safely, and I also hope that your Highness will achieve what he wishes for."
The side door was opened a crack, and Shen Zhaowan met a pair of steady and dark eyes: "Ms. Ivissa, it's a pleasure to work with you."
Shen Zhaowan smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
When the side door closed, the voice of the Grand Prince was heard again: "My position as Princess is still vacant."
Shen Zhaowan lowered her eyes and said, "It's getting late, Your Highness should set off."
"……Ha ha"
After they walked away, Kerion asked, "What did His Highness say to you?"
"Nothing, brother, it's time to go."
Kellyon's lips trembled a few times, but he didn't ask any more questions. He said in a low voice, "Okay."
As the group walked further and further away, Shen Zhaowan withdrew her gaze and made up her mind.
……
"Dad, you must be tired, so just rest at home today!" Shen Zhaowan came over with a cup of coffee.
Geoda was indeed exhausted. What happened in the past few days was a big blow to him and also destroyed his plans and hopes.
Now that Kerion had left, he suddenly felt depressed.
"Got it." He gestured to Shen Zhaowan to just put it down.
