...

A massive eye hovered in the chaotic sky, with droplets of pitch-black mist seeping from its edges.

Angus felt a chill run down his neck and suddenly glanced to both sides.

At some point, the earth had become covered with indescribable, strange entities.

They resembled humans, yet were not human.

Their five limbs seemed dislocated and constantly twisting, and under the giant eye, the facial features of each being were mechanically performing bizarre rituals.

Angus stood up and looked behind him.

The dark disciples, spreading for thousands of miles, all exuded an aura of terror and ill omen.

Soon, those inhuman creatures struggled to stand upright, forcibly moving their decadent bodies, and began to dance in circles in opposite directions, as if welcoming the deity observing the world from above.

A giant crow flew in the sky, its beak slowly opening, with several spiraling tongues waving in the air, gathering the black smoke seeping from the sky into its mouth.

In an instant, its single eye flashed with various scenes of madness.

Angus's head was pressed down by an invisible giant hand, forcibly turning it back, his eyeballs seemingly pinched, staring blankly at the crow.

The moment he looked into the crow's eye, Angus's sanity began to collapse continuously.

Everything before him seemed to become more turbulent, and the obscure cries from the disciples' mouths gradually became clearer.

His eyes, as if corroded by smoke, became murky and unclear, his mouth slowly muttering:

"God."

......

Monotonous black ancient trees filled the entire room, with only a few animal furs adding some color to the space.

Kevla sat in a chair, leaning against the backrest, holding a teacup, facing a thin man.

The man before her was her brother.

Jaxu Delin.

The man had delicate features, with proper and three-dimensional facial features, always wearing a kind smile.

His body also lacked robust muscles, seeming excessively thin for a knight's family.

Kevla was somewhat agitated, occasionally putting her teacup on the table and picking it up again.

The meeting hall had been quiet for so long, and she didn't know what her father and Viktor had been discussing.

"Sister, calm down a bit," Jaxu said with a smile, as if seeing Kevla's restlessness.

Kevla looked at Jaxu, adjusted her emotions slightly, shrugged, and said to her brother:

"It seems you want to talk about something with me?"

"Speak up, what exactly do you and father want to do?"

To call Gwen back to discuss the engagement, and even to summon Viktor as well.

The only thing Kevla could think of was changing the person in the engagement.

But her father had excluded her, which made Kevla even more confused.

What exactly did they want to do?

Jaxu took Kevla's cup with the remaining tea, replaced it with a new one, and refilled it with hot tea, smiling.

In this extremely cold place, a cup of warm tea was simply perfect.

He pushed the hot tea in front of Kevla and spoke as if casually bringing up a topic.

"Sister, what's your standard for judging justice?"

Kevla frowned, somewhat puzzled.

"Why ask this?"

"You're older than me, so you should know better what kind of personality father had back then."

Hearing Jaxu's words, Kevla lowered her head, as if falling into a long reminiscence.

When she was very young, the Delin family was not yet in the northern frontier of the empire, so her impression of childhood was very vivid.

At that time, Sol VIII had just ascended to the throne, and it was a time when he needed to win people's hearts and consolidate his position.

Back then, Angus was also one of Emperor Aubrey's capable assistants.

But his sense of justice was even more obsessive than Gwen's current state.

It had even reached a pathological degree.

His eyes couldn't tolerate any evil.

Once there appeared an existence that didn't conform to his standard of justice, it would be completely erased by him.

As a politician, Kevla naturally knew about the affairs between nobles.

There were those benevolent nobles who did charity and helped the poor, but there were also quite a few nobles who exploited workers and committed evil deeds.

If Kevla were to give a standard for judging kindness.

Judge by actions, not intentions.

But Angus at that time was different.

Even those nobles who did charity, once Angus knew their motives were impure.

Then this powerful knight would let them taste the sharpness of his blade.

So this obsession could no longer be called justice.

However, Kevla, who was young at the time, didn't understand these things. She was just like an ordinary daughter, admiring her towering father.

Until Emperor Aubrey felt that Angus's obsessive justice was uncontrollable.

So he had the Delin family move to the northern frontier, sending them to guard this cold land.

Although guarding the northern frontier was still a very important position, for Angus at that time, it was no different from the emperor's distrust of him.

Thus, Angus felt that his faith had suffered a heavy blow.

He had always believed that everything he did was right.

But when even the monarch he followed thought he was full of errors, what was the point of maintaining this sense of justice?

After moving to the north, Angus began to behave himself, widely recruiting apprentices here, promoting his knightly school, and wholeheartedly guarding the northern frontier.

His justice was no longer so obsessive, and it even seemed as if he had forgotten the justice he once held in his heart.

Later, as Kevla grew older, her brother Jaxu also gradually revealed his talent and sharpness.

Finally, Gwen was born.

Kevla liked this sister very much, but for some reason, both her father and Jaxu seemed to avoid this sister.

Until Gwen grew up and showed her unusual ability.

The Heart of Justice.

As a result, Gwen never received parental love from childhood.

The once righteous Angus was no longer righteous, so Gwen's birth, for Angus, was more like a mockery and shame.

At least, that's what Kevla used to think.

"So why are you talking to me about all this?"

"This seems to have nothing to do with the engagement between Gwen and Viktor."

Jaxu shook his head, smiling enigmatically.

"No, of course it's related."

"The engagement between them can't continue."

Hearing Jaxu's answer, Kevla was puzzled. She stared at Jaxu, staring at this brother who had spoken so surprisingly, as if wanting to get a suitable answer from him.

"Why?"

The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point, as if even the air could form ice crystals.

Jaxu sighed.

"It's time for you to know some things now."

"Do you really think Gwen's Heart of Justice is just an ordinary innate ability?"

Hearing her brother's words, Kevla's face immediately darkened, becoming extremely serious.

Jaxu continued speaking calmly.

"If you've read the description of the Goddess of Justice, then you would feel how similar that goddess is to Gwen."

"The same obsessive justice, the same ability to judge good and evil."

Jaxu's cold words entered Kevla's ears one by one.

Kevla understood everything.

Why her father had always been silent about Gwen.

Why they wanted to dissolve Gwen's engagement to Viktor.

"Because Gwen needs to maintain this sense of justice constantly, so absolutely no one can influence her."

Viktor was the one who might influence her.

Gwen couldn't like anyone, she couldn't admire anyone.

Once those unnecessary feelings arose, the justice in her heart would be biased.

That's why Gwen had no access to familial love from childhood.

As for that ethereal love?

Heh, her fiancé was Viktor.

If it were the Viktor of the past, this marriage could have continued without issue.

Because Gwen, who disliked Viktor, wouldn't have her sense of justice affected by him at all.

But now, Viktor was subtly influencing Gwen.

Anyone could see that Gwen's feelings towards Viktor had gradually changed.

"So, she must always maintain absolute justice in her heart."

"...Is that so."

Kevla was silent for a moment, then looked at Jaxu mockingly.

"You and father want Gwen to become that Goddess of Justice?"

"Not me, it's father."

Jaxu corrected Kevla's mistake, smiling coldly.

"From the beginning to the end, father has always been a follower of that goddess."

"Never changed."

......

"How ridiculous."

Kevla suddenly laughed, with a hint of sadness in her laughter.

"In my eyes, he has never changed either."

"Although I know he's not acting for personal gain, now, his behavior disgusts me even more."

Swoosh!

A silver dagger was instantly pressed against Jaxu's throat.

Jaxu sat in the chair without moving at all, as if the person whose life was threatened wasn't him.

Kevla's slightly trembling voice sounded:

"Gwen is his daughter, my sister, a living person!"

"Just because of that ethereal legend, she's deprived of the love and life a normal girl should have."

"Jaxu, are you not human either?"

Jaxu reached out with one hand, slowly pushing the dagger away from his throat.

"Sister, the proportion of familial love in you is really too high."

As if absolutely certain that Kevla would never act, he said calmly:

"There are some things worth father dedicating his whole life to, and as his offspring, I should also share his burdens."

Kevla's hands became somewhat weak. She tried to grip the dagger tightly, to press it against Jaxu's throat again, but she couldn't do it.

Just as Jaxu said, familial love really occupied too much in Kevla.

But...

"I'm sorry, but you've already failed."

Kevla put away the dagger, her expression neither sad nor happy, just slowly explaining.

"Gwen's Heart of Justice has already malfunctioned."

"...?"

Suddenly, a tremendous explosion erupted from the meeting room, the powerful shockwave causing even the windows of the building where Kevla was to vibrate frantically.

The enormous blast completely captured the attention of both of them.

Kevla was momentarily stunned.

What's going on?

Did Viktor actually come to blows with his father-in-law?
