Chapter 33: Let's Pick a Good Day to Get Married!

Gwen walked through the main gate with her head down, a look of melancholy on her face.

She wasnt paying attention and bumped into a soft body.

Gwen froze for a moment, then lifted her head.

Sis Sister!?

Long time no see, little Gwen~

The woman standing in front of her with a beaming smile was her eldest sister Caifla Delin.

She was a beauty of a different style than Gwen, with her long, light purple hair, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, rosy lips, and pearly white teeth. Every movement she made exuded elegance and nobility.

Just like a noble violet.

Gwens impression of her older sister was still from the past.

Back then, Caiflas hair was silver-white, the same as hers.

Did she dye her hair?

Gwen was somewhat curious.

But there was no denying that, after so many years living in the same family, the sisters were very close.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Even after a long absence, Gwen could not hide her joy at seeing her sister.

Her face was beaming with a smile, and her demeanor completely changed from just a moment ago.

Seeing your sister, arent you going to give her a hug?

Caifla stretched out her arms and said with a smile.

She was like a bright moon in the night, making anyone who saw her feel close to her.

Gwen blushed and nodded, giving her sister a big hug.

At this time, Caifla still asked with a smile:

I heard from the servant that you came back in someone elses carriage. Who was that?

Si Sister!

Gwen stomped her foot, looking a bit sulky.

Seeing her like this, Caifla nodded as if she knew everything.

Yes, yes, I know without you telling me, it was Victor just now, wasnt it?

Gwen kept silent and lowered her head.

Her mind was a bit chaotic. She had just understood Victors feelings, and now her sister, who she hadnt seen for years, suddenly appeared to tease her.

What was happening today?

Come to think of it, it seems like I havent seen Victor for a long time either, I wonder if he still acts all high and mighty.

Should I take the time to visit him?

Caifla was talking to herself. Gwen turned her head and couldnt help but ask curiously:

Sister, why did you come to the Royal Capital?

Oh? Of course, I missed my cute little sister~

Caifla pulled Gwen into her arms and started to tease her. Gwen pushed her away a bit angrily.

You know I can tell when youre lying.

Okay, okay, I cant fool you.

To use abilities on family youve turned bad, little Gwen.

Caifla stuck out her tongue, then became serious.

Although I did plan to come to the Royal Capital, I heard from a friend that something happened here recently, so I rushed over.

Were you affected by anything?

Gwen shook her head and said:

The main ones affected were Duke Rivierre and Victor.

Caifla tilted her head, a clear line of confusion flashing in her eyes.

Hmm? Why would Victor be involved with Duke Rivierre?

Gwen carefully chose her words and told Caifla about all the things that had happened recently.

What! The volcano nearly erupted? And there was a volcano god hidden beneath it? A magical beast of that level was defeated by Victor?

Damn it, if it wasnt for the situation at home, I would have loved to be involved in such an exciting event!

Next time, you have to include me!

Come on, lets go! To the Practice Ground!

Dont we need to put on protective gear?

No need, no need!

Huff, huff

Gwen knelt on one knee, barely propping herself up with a sword, preventing herself from collapsing.

She was sweating profusely, her strength nearly exhausted.

On the other hand, Caifla

In her grip was merely a common knights sword, and she wore not a shred of armor.

Despite this, she seemed relaxed, as if she wasnt putting forth all her strength.

Caifla stretched languidly, sheathing the knights sword and hanging it back on the wall.

Mmm~ha! Its been a while since Ive had such a satisfying match! That was refreshing~

Gwen managed to stand up and suddenly asked:

Sis, why did you choose to abandon the path of a knight?

Hmm?

Caifla turned her head back, propping her chin with one hand as if in deep thought.

It must have been out of necessity.

After all, the family needed my talent.

Gwens heart sank.

Her older sister, Caifla Delin.

As the eldest daughter in the family, she was exceptionally talented and powerful. Ten years ago, she had already held strength comparable to a royal knights.

However, she had given up her martial arts.

She had started anew, aiming for a political career, constantly honing her social skills and navigating through the political circles.

This too was a form of helplessness.

As part of the Delin family, a dominant force in the military arm of the empire, they needed a leader who could hold their ground in the political arena and lead the family away from crisis.

Even with their fathers numerous accomplished pupils, there were no shortage of people who saw the Delin family as a thorn in their side.

Caifla, cheerful and socially skilled with a high emotional intelligence, was a beloved beauty.

Quite the opposite of Victor.

And so, Caifla Delin put down her beloved weapon, becoming a sacrifice for the familys sake.

Beneath her cheerful exterior, perhaps lay a pain that was difficult to voice.

But theres something troublesome, little Gwen.

Suddenly, her sisters voice pulled Gwen back from her thoughts.

She blinked, slightly puzzled.

Looking at her, Caifla said with a worried expression:

Honestly, I came to the Royal Capital this time partly because I was interested in your strength.

You dont seem to have made much progress.

Hearing her sister say this, Gwen gripped her sword tightly.

She indeed couldnt defeat her elder sister, even though her sister had given up the path of the knight many years ago.

But, if it was said that she hadnt made progress in recent years, she wouldnt accept it.

Suddenly, Caifla said:

This wont do, little Gwen. If this continues, father might summon you back home for more training. What are we going to do?

Caifla, feigning a worried expression, rolled her eyes around, observing Gwens response.

Ive got it!

Gwen looked up at Caifla.

Caifla, as if she had thought of a perfect solution, said:

Why not choose a good day and get married to Victor right away!

Father will definitely allow you to stay here then!

Gwen blinked.

Huh?
