The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick-Chapter 428: The Strict Teaching Assistant
Listening to Viktor's words, Erica nodded in agreement.
"That's what I think too."
The Reiser family had always supported the Crown Prince's faction, evident from their economic support and accumulated military achievements at the southern border.
For years, they had made countless efforts in the south to give the Crown Prince an advantage in the succession struggle.
However, all their years of hard work were wasted in an instant.
Because Emperor Aubrey no longer valued military achievements, but instead began to personally designate his successor.
This change plunged the Reiser family into anxiety.
But why was the Second Prince in such a hurry?
Even if Emperor Aubrey was persuaded by other nobles and the Reiser family to temporarily withhold naming a successor,
The future heir would still only be chosen between the Crown Prince and the Princess.
After all, the Reiser family was persuading Aubrey for the Crown Prince's sake.
Not for the Second Prince.
In the end, the Second Prince would lose any chance of contention.
"So, do you think the Second Prince is willing to yield the throne to the Crown Prince?" Viktor asked.
Erica shook her head. She wasn't a fool.
Brotherly harmony might exist in any ordinary family, but it was absolutely impossible within the royal family.
Within the palace walls, struggles between brothers never involved yielding; every step was taken at the cost of honor and life.
"Then, does the Second Prince have other plans?"
She couldn't help but ponder.
She slowly raised her head, only to see Professor Viktor looking completely calm, leaning back in his chair, seemingly unconcerned.
So, Erica couldn't help but ask:
"Professor, after hearing this news, aren't you worried at all?"
Ever since she heard about the Reiser family from her father, she had felt a wave of tension.
Although her du Cloye family had never explicitly supported any prince.
But she knew that Professor Viktor and the Kravina family were more inclined to support Princess Aurelianne.
It could only be the Princess.
This was evident from the Emperor's attitude toward the Kravina family.
Since Viktor became the Princess's teacher, the Emperor's attitude toward him and the entire Kravina family had become exceptionally warm.
Erica's father had even told her:
If Viktor wasn't the Princess's teacher, the Emperor might not have announced the succession decision on the Princess's birthday.
All of this stemmed from the Emperor's trust in Viktor.
Erica had been curious about this as well.
Why did the Emperor trust Professor Viktor so much?
However, her father only told her:
"Because Viktor's surname is 'Kravina'."
Not because Viktor was powerful, had sufficient prestige, or because of the current influence of the Kravina family.
Simply because his surname was Kravina.
And what the Emperor trusted was the Kravina name.
Erica understood somewhat, though not completely.
At this moment, Viktor's response also rang in her ears:
"The outcome is already determined. No matter who tries to intervene, it will be in vain."
Viktor's words gradually restored Erica's composure.
Did this mean that Emperor Aubrey was determined to pass the throne of the Carensia Empire to Aurelianne?
But didn't the Second Prince still have a trump card?
Erica was eager to learn more from Viktor.
But Viktor didn't elaborate, just calmly looked at her and said softly:
"Of course, some friction and small episodes along the way are inevitable."
"Let's put it this way."
Viktor leaned forward slightly.
At the same time, the raven on the table flew to his shoulder, shaking its feathers and pecking at its wings.
His gaze sharp and profound, he asked Erica:
"When will the head of the Reiser family return?"
Erica gripped the water glass in her hand and responded:
"Tomorrow."
Viktor nodded.
The influence of the head of the Reiser family was immense. In Duke Levi's eyes, he might even be able to sway Aubrey's choice.
Thinking of this, Viktor narrowed his eyes.
In the game's storyline, there wasn't much about the head of the Reiser family.
It only briefly mentioned the final fate of the Reiser family.
Aurelianne destroyed the Reiser family.
So, the drama between the head of the Reiser family and the Emperor, which could be considered a 'royal secret', was never experienced by players.
After all, players couldn't just enter the palace at will.
And now...
Viktor glanced at Sapphirose, who stood behind him without a word.
In the game, Sapphirose's backstory was just that of a human ultimate weapon created through the Reiser family's research.
But the specific person who conducted this research was never mentioned in the storyline.
With the head of the Reiser family returning to the capital, this might be a good opportunity to investigate and understand more.
At this moment, Erica noticed Viktor's gaze turning behind him.
Her gaze also fell on Sapphirose's mysterious robe. She slightly pursed her lips and finally couldn't help but ask:
"Um... Professor, who exactly is she...?"
Viktor turned his head, looking at Erica with a calm gaze, and responded softly:
"She's Henie's teaching assistant."
"Ah, I see."
Hearing this, Erica seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, the tension in her heart gradually dissipating.
So, she was just Henie's assistant.
Indeed, Henie was incredibly busy now.
Not only did she have her daily courses, but she also often allocated her free time to schedule more classes.
Sometimes, Erica even wanted to chat with Henie but couldn't find the opportunity.
She indeed needed an assistant to share some of her responsibilities.
But... this person as an assistant?
Erica secretly observed Sapphirose in her robe.
No matter how she looked, she could sense that faint aura of danger from her.
Moreover, she didn't have any semblance of a mage's demeanor.
"I was originally planning to call Henie directly."
At this moment, Viktor's voice softly sounded:
He looked at a transparent crystal lying on the table, narrowing his eyes, examining it closely.
Although the crystal was transparent, it looked quite dim.
Viktor picked it up and examined it in his palm:
"But now it seems she's already gone back."
...
"Thank you for your hard work."
After briefly greeting the servant at the door, Henie walked towards the garden.
Deep into the garden, she saw Cocotte sitting on a cloud.
At this moment, she was sitting on the cloud, one leg crossed over the other, arms folded.
Like a queen, she haughtily looked down at the two dogs below the cloud.
When Henie walked into her line of sight, she didn't seem to find it strange at all.
She just chuckled and greeted Henie.
"Yo, Henie."
"You're back quite early."
Henie didn't respond to Cocotte immediately.
Her gaze was fixed on one of the white puppies.
At this moment, this chubby white puppy was being stepped on by the majestic red hunting hound.
And when her gaze moved up to see the heads on the hunter's body,
She couldn't help but widen her eyes in shock.
Three... three heads!?
But what followed was a deeply suppressed emotion from within her body.
It was as if something had been suddenly suppressed.
She knew clearly that this emotion didn't originate from her.
Perhaps seeing Henie's reaction, Cocotte nodded with satisfaction.
She waved her hand and said casually:
"Take this annoying little dog away quickly."
"This guy has been eyeing my cloud, and even after I woke up, it didn't want to give it back to me. It's so annoying."
As Cocotte's words fell, the red three-headed hunting hound also retracted its sharp claws.
Revealing the dying white puppy beneath its feet.
Seeing this, Henie didn't respond much.
She just walked forward, picked up the already unconscious white puppy, and placed it in her hand.
Then, she nodded to Cocotte,
"Mmm, I understand."
"I'll handle it properly."
After doing these things, she left the garden with the puppy.
Cocotte watched Henie's back, pondering a bit.
Henie's sudden return also confirmed some things for Cocotte.
The appearance of this demon puppy should indeed be related to Henie.
But...
"Why would she want that demon to make a deal with me?"
Obviously, when making a deal with a demon, the only person who could be tricked was the one making the deal with the demon.
Even if she was an elf, there would be no exception to this rule.
But this very point made Cocotte feel very strange.
She couldn't help but ponder.
Would Henie harm her?
No.
Nature elves could sense whether emotions from others carried malice.
From Henie, she didn't sense any malice.
Moreover, Henie had no reason, and even less motive, to harm her.
If Henie truly came with the intention to harm her, then nature wouldn't leave it unattended.
It would directly impose punishment on Henie.
"How strange..."
...
Only after Henie had completely left the garden's range did a hoarse voice come from the depths of her heart:
"How terrifying... that three-headed dog."
Henie nodded.
Even Mr. Crocodile didn't dare to utter a word under its oppressive presence. That three-headed dog was clearly not right.
It could completely suppress demonic traits, and it seemed Puki didn't have any resistance.
And this little puppy had now fainted.
If not for sensing Puki's unconsciousness, Henie wouldn't have rushed back so early.
At this moment, Henie's voice calmly sounded:
"It seems Puki didn't do as I told it."
Although she didn't know where the three-headed dog came from.
But if Puki hadn't made Cocotte angry, Cocotte would never attack it randomly.
She held Puki up to her face and extended her other hand to poke Puki's chubby little butt.
"I originally wanted you to build a good relationship with Senior Cocotte, after all, you were also attracted by her."
People with the same traits as demons would have good compatibility with demons.
If used properly, demons could also become powerful allies.
Just like Leighton.
"But it seems you don't want to become our companion."
At the same time, Leighton appeared on Henie's shoulder.
It opened its mouth wide and gave a deep yawn.
"I knew it."
The treatment at the Kravina house was so good, yet this lazy dog didn't appreciate it.
What was this lazy dog thinking?
"So what do we do now?"
Henie's gaze fixed on the unconscious Puki, and she said calmly:
"We can't cause trouble for the professor."
As her words fell, Henie's amber eyes gradually became vertical slits.
Like a fox, emanating a sharp and dangerous aura:
"So, let me exhaust your last value, Puki."
