The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick-Chapter 437: Can You Get Me a Sister Too?

The crimson morning sun slowly rose from behind the mountain silhouette, as the intertwining orange-red and pink hues of dawn gradually illuminated the entire sky.
A faint twilight seemed to gently fall from the heavens, like a delicate veil caressed down by celestial deities.
Early in the morning, the horseless carriage belonging to the Kravina family was already quietly parked in front of the mansion's main gate, bathing in the rising sunlight.
The winter air always carried a piercing chill, and everything around was peaceful.
But the first sound to break the morning tranquility of the Kravina mansion was a crisp metallic click from the main gate.
A maid walked lazily out of the mansion.
She opened her mouth, rubbing her freshly awakened eyes, while yawning.
White misty breath rose and quickly condensed in the air, then vanished in the blink of an eye.
Her drowsy appearance made it obvious that she had just woken up.
She carried a heavy cloth bag filled with the household waste accumulated by the Kravina family the previous day.
But as soon as she stepped outside, she caught sight of the horseless carriage.
She recognized it immediately as Master Viktor's exclusive carriage.
She didn't even need to identify the family crest.
Why?
Because in the entire royal capital, only Viktor's carriage had no horses.
The maid curiously approached to see if anyone was inside.
Just as she was about to peer in, the carriage door suddenly opened automatically.
Startled by this, the maid stepped back, watching as a familiar figure emerged from the carriage.
Viktor, still wearing his signature black coat, stepped out of the carriage with steady strides.
After a night outside, his body was covered with frost from the night's chill.
Even his hair and eyebrows couldn't escape being covered with frost, making him look like a silver-haired nobleman.
Similarly, Vega couldn't escape this fate either.
The gaps between its jet-black feathers were almost outlined with ice crystals, making it look like an odd black and white crow.
However, its gaze toward Viktor seemed somewhat displeased.
As if saying:
'Spent a whole night in the carriage, and you couldn't even cast a fire spell to warm us up?'
As Viktor stepped out of the carriage, a gentle breeze stirred around him.
Withered leaves swept across the street, and heavy dust rose to about half a meter high.
A cold breath also seemed to emanate from the carriage, making one's cheeks sting slightly.
She stared at Viktor, her heart racing, her cheeks gradually turning red.
Suddenly realizing her impropriety, she quickly bowed to Viktor:
"Master, I'll go inform Lady Lia that you've returned."
As she spoke, she put down the garbage and quickly turned to rush back to the mansion.
Just as she took a step, she was stopped by a cold voice:
"No need."
The maid immediately halted, standing motionless.
Until Viktor's black-coated figure passed by her side.
At her ear, Viktor's cautioning words sounded:
"Don't tell her I didn't come home all night."
"Y-yes, of course."
She nodded, and when she turned her head, she saw that Viktor's figure had already disappeared into the cold wind.
The maid gazed at Viktor's retreating back, her eyes somewhat confused.
Why did it feel... like the master was afraid of being discovered by Lady Lia?
In her mind, this seemed more like the subtle atmosphere between husband and wife, rather than between siblings.
After this disrespectful thought flashed through her mind, she quickly raised both hands and patted her cheeks.
After shaking off these random thoughts, the maid picked up the garbage again and headed outside.
Meanwhile, Viktor stood at the entrance of the mansion.
He hesitated.
Entering the mansion now, he might be discovered by Lia.
The worst possibility was that Lia was already waiting for him behind the mansion door.
If she found out he hadn't been home for two days, she would inevitably lecture him.
After all, he hadn't even attended the important events at the imperial palace.
If he met Lia now, he would certainly have to explain himself at length.
Moreover, going to the Delin family and digging up Angus's grave was not easy to explain.
He already had a record, and if Lia thought he had become a grave robber, that wouldn't be good.
"Forget it, I'll go straight to my room."
With a snap of his fingers, a faintly blue formation appeared beneath his feet, and complex star points climbed up Viktor's body.
In the blink of an eye, he transformed into several ethereal, elongated patterns rising into the mansion.
When Viktor appeared again, he was already in his familiar room.
The animal fur carpet beneath his feet felt soft.
The room was clean and tidy, without a speck of dust.
And the room was very warm.
As soon as Viktor entered, he felt a wave of warmth quickly envelop his entire body.
It was as if someone had been staying here during these days.
Even though he hadn't returned to his room for many days.
His heart beat slightly faster, feeling the subtle and cozy atmosphere in the room.
Suddenly, the fireplace in the room made a crackling sound.
Viktor was slightly startled and was about to turn around when a voice already sounded from the side.
"Finally decided to come back?"
At the sound of the voice, Viktor's heart trembled slightly.
He slowly turned around to see Lia.
At this moment, she was elegantly seated on a large sofa near the fireplace, her body slightly reclined.
Her legs were leisurely crossed, with a book resting on them.
One hand lightly pinched the corner of the book, casually turning the pages, while the other skillfully added wood to the fire in the fireplace.
She allowed the faint firelight to dance on her face.
Obviously, the sound of the fireplace crackling just now had come from here.
Lia sat in the chair, reading her book, not saying anything more.
So Viktor watched her and softly asked:
"Why are you..."
"Why am I in your room?"
Before he could finish, Lia had already picked up the thread of conversation.
She continued to read her book intently, and after turning a page, she softly responded:
"Of course, to wait for you to return."
At this point, Viktor fell into a brief silence.
With a "snap," Lia closed the book and removed her reading glasses.
She neatly placed the book and glasses on the table, ensuring the spine aligned with the edge of the table.
Then, she stretched lazily, outlining her perfect figure, before raising her head with an amused look at Viktor:
"Did you plan to teleport directly back to your room, and then come out pretending you'd been back all along?"
"Too bad."
Lia stood up and walked over to Viktor, one hand lightly resting on his shoulder, the other casually placed on her waist.
She looked him up and down:
"We've lived together for so long, have you ever thought that I'm the person who knows you best?"
Even during these six months when you've undergone some changes.
Lia silently added in her heart.
At this time, she carefully observed Viktor's face, which still had some glistening droplets on it.
Those were clearly traces of frost that had just melted as he entered the warm house from the cold outside.
Viktor's collar was slightly damp, but his clothes remained neat and unwrinkled.
Lia reached out her hand, lightly touching his coat, feeling the cold sensation, as if touching a piece of cold steel.
It matched the temperature outside.
Her heart relaxed a little at this.
"Stayed out all night, and still didn't want to come home?"
Viktor was silent for a moment, then explained:
"I might have disturbed you..."
"More like you thought I'd nag you and annoy you, so you didn't come back."
Viktor was suddenly speechless.
Because Lia's words hit the mark.
There was one thing she was absolutely right about.
Among all these people, she was the one who knew and understood Viktor the best.
"And you haven't been missing for just one day."
In Viktor's gaze, Lia held up two fingers in a "V" gesture.
"It's been two days and two nights."
"Do you need me to help you think about what you've been doing these two days?"
Seeing Viktor's silence, Lia put one hand on her hip and the other on her forehead, sighing.
"Fine, even if you don't tell me, what can I do about it?"
She gave Viktor a flippant glance, teasing:
"I don't mind, but see how you explain it to Cocotte."
"She's been clamoring to give your butt a good kick when you get back."
As she spoke, Lia deftly reached for the book and glasses on the table.
As she bent down, she seemed to suddenly remember something and asked with feigned curiosity:
"By the way, where's Henie?"
"She's been gone for two days too, just like you."
Viktor responded quickly and simply:
"She's doing some research lately."
"She'll be staying at the academy for a while."
Lia listened, picked up the book and glasses, and responded with a smile:
"I see."
She stood up again, turning her head slightly, glancing at Viktor from the corner of her eye, saying softly:
"I think my wizard lord probably hasn't rested all night, so I won't nag you anymore."
"Don't worry about the room temperature, hmm... the fireplace has been kept warm."
Lia walked toward the door, and just as her hand touched the doorknob, she continued as if reminding him:
"When you've been out for too long, remember to come home."
"At the very least, send a message."
"After all, you still have family."
Hearing Lia's words, Viktor was momentarily stunned.
By the time he came to his senses, he only heard the 'bang' of the door closing.
Lia's figure had already disappeared from the room.
At this time, the drowsy Vega shook its feathers, slightly awakening.
"Hmm, honestly."
"Your sister is quite nice to you, isn't she?"
Even though this sister isn't related by blood.
Hearing Vega's words, Viktor turned his head, his gaze falling on the crackling fireplace.
In the room, only the fireplace, glowing red from the flames, continued to emit warmth.
The flames danced like sprites within, performing an incredibly joyful dance.
The crimson color cast a faint light in his eyes, the brilliant hue flowing from his eyes into his cold heart, even raising a few degrees of warmth in his breath:
"...Yes."
"I think I know what choice to make now."
......
Lia hugged the book, leaning against the door.
Her cheeks were somewhat flushed, like warm rivers flowing over her face, as if ice and snow had just melted.
With her head lowered, her eyes fixed straight on the floor beneath her feet, she felt her legs weakening.
Feeling drowsiness creeping up, she raised her hand, patted her cheeks, and yawned.
"Hah..."
"Time to go to sleep."
In the morning corridor, only the sound of Lia's calm and slow footsteps remained, gradually fading into the distance.
