The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick Chapter 429: Brother’s Gift

As night fell, the moon hung high in the sky, its gentle light spilling onto the stone path of the Kravina mansion.

With the crisp sound of horse hooves coming to a stop, two won disembarked from the carriage one after another.

Standing in front of the mansion gate, Zora smiled and extended her hand to Lia.

"Thank you, Miss Lia, for giving a ride."

"I need to visit the Emperor in the na of the Trading Association tomorrow, so I won't stay any longer."

Seeing this, Lia also smiled and extended her hand, shaking hands with Zora.

"Regarding our cooperation, I hope Miss Zora will keep it in mind."

"Of course," Zora replied with a sincere smile.

Having stayed in Bryston for a while, especially after visiting the Kravina weapons factory that Lia had ntioned.

The presence of these things had already made Zora feel the profound power and mystery of this family.

It was hard to imagine that these forces, which could rival those of so countries, actually existed within a single family in the empire.

The Trading Association's carriage had been waiting nearby for a long ti. The guard stood in front of the luxurious carriage adorned with gold patterns and opened the door for Zora.

Only after Zora boarded the carriage and left did Lia's business-like smile return to a calm expression.

She turned around, looked at her family mansion, and sighed deeply.

"Ah..."

How to put it, Lia was actually quite resistant to the idea of going ho.

Mainly because she didn't know how to face Viktor anymore.

It wasn't because she felt embarrassed about having her body seen.

They were all adults, and besides, it was Viktor, not soone else.

It was because of what Viktor had said.

'The Kravina family is a cursed family.'

"This family can't produce mages..."

Lia whispered these words softly, feeling a sense of lancholy.

After Viktor left, she went to check her family's genealogy.

Looking at the family tree, Lia traced back almost eighteen generations.

The final result was...

The Kravina family had indeed never produced a single mage.

She found it hard to accept this fact because if the Kravina family was truly as Viktor said.

Then it was very likely.

Viktor, being a mage, was not a biological mber of the family.

Considering that neither her mother nor Viktor's mother had ever been ntioned, this thought kept echoing in her mind.

Lia's mind was in chaos, unable to imagine what would happen next.

It would have been better if she didn't know.

But this was sothing Viktor had told her voluntarily.

If she were to see Viktor again, could she still treat him normally as her brother...

Looking at Lia, who was completely lost in thought at the mansion entrance.

The servants at the door exchanged glances, unsure whether to remind Miss Lia to enter the house.

But at this mont, a voice rang out, making the servants breathe a sigh of relief.

It also brought Lia back from her thoughts.

"Lia?"

"What are you doing here?"

The familiar voice made Lia lift her head and look in its direction.

Cocotte was sitting comfortably on a cloud, her hands placed behind her to support the cloud, one leg crossed over the other, looking at Lia with a peculiar gaze.

"You've been mumbling to yourself for a while without coming in. Is sothing on your mind?"

Seeing Cocotte, Lia gave a light chuckle and shook her head.

"No, nothing."

She quickly adjusted her composure, placed one hand on her hip, and looked at Cocotte with so confusion, asking:

"But you... why aren't you sleeping at this hour?"

"Hmm... why does everyone ask this question when they see ?"

"Perhaps because you're basically always sleeping whenever we see you."

Hearing Lia's words, Cocotte sighed helplessly.

Well, she couldn't argue with that.

But she still fell into thought because of Lia's words.

Simply put, she couldn't sleep.

Since being awakened by Viktor, she seed to have completely lost her drowsiness.

When she was in Bryston, she had thought it was because she had lost her cloud, resulting in poor sleep quality.

Plus, the constant disturbance from the elves there prevented her from sleeping properly.

So she clung to Viktor, asking him to take her back to her longed-for garden ahead of schedule.

And Cocotte had successfully reclaid her cloud.

But no matter how she tried to sleep, closing her eyes, she just couldn't fall asleep.

Originally, she could fall asleep in a second just by closing her eyes.

This made Cocotte very frustrated.

But Lia in front of her didn't seem to dwell on this matter. She just pondered for a mont, then shrugged and said casually:

"Forget it, as long as you don't fall asleep tomorrow."

Tomorrow, Cocotte would formally propose diplomatic relations with the Empire as the representative of the Elven Forest.

Viktor had already discussed this with the Emperor in advance.

Hearing this, Cocotte couldn't help but feel a bit panicked.

"But... I've never done this kind of thing before..."

"Can I really handle it well?"

Hearing the worry in Cocotte's voice, Lia sighed and casually comforted her:

"You're an elf."

"There isn't a single country that wouldn't want to gain the friendship of elves."

This wasn't a lie.

Nature is the strictest mother, and any disaster or blessing in the world cannot escape the laws of nature.

But elves are different.

Elves are nature's most beloved children.

And if one could gain the friendship of elves, nature would correspondingly bestow its favor.

No one wants to anger nature.

But these words might not have much effect on Cocotte.

Looking at Cocotte, who was several hundred years old but still panicking like a child, Lia couldn't help but smile and say:

"In the worst case, there's still Viktor."

"Oh, right, I still have Viktor."

Hearing this, Cocotte instantly felt much more at ease.

She no longer had any worries, leaning back and lazily sprawling on the soft cloud.

Seeing this, Lia couldn't help but find it amusing.

But soon, as if she realized sothing, she suddenly couldn't smile anymore.

She slightly lowered her head, one hand unconsciously touching her chest.

When exactly did the three words 'Viktor' beco the most reassuring spokesperson in her heart?

This na seed to have so kind of magic.

No matter what difficulties arose, just thinking of Viktor.

It was as if problems that hadn't been solved could be easily resolved.

Lia was very clear about this emotion.

It was 'dependence.'

Without realizing it, she had started to depend on Viktor again, just like when she was a child.

When she was young, her father was busy, and she had never t her mother.

She could only depend on her remaining relative, her brother, Viktor.

Until later, when her father passed away, and she gradually recognized Viktor's coldness.

After that, she beca independent.

So, in Lia's heart, there was no longer this emotion called 'dependence.'

However, now...

Lia took a deep breath.

Viktor was not her biological brother.

She had to face this fact.

She couldn't continue to depend on him.

As Lia was thinking, Cocotte's voice sounded again.

"By the way, Lia."

"Have you seen Viktor? He's been out all day and hasn't co back yet."

"Hmm?"

Lia was slightly taken aback.

Hearing Cocotte's words, she couldn't help but frown.

It was so late, and Viktor hadn't returned ho yet?

Instinctively, Lia felt a bit angry.

No, why should she be angry?

Whether Viktor ca back or not was his freedom; she had no right to manage him.

That's not right either... Although Viktor might not be her biological brother, he was still the head of the Kravina family.

As the head of the family, staying out late at night, was he out fooling around?

So, Lia naturally fell into another round of inner conflict.

"I was going to go out and look for him, and bring this guy to the door, but I just saw you at the entrance."

Cocotte sat up again, shifting the cloud's position slightly to reveal the figure behind it.

Hearing Cocotte's words, Lia felt curious.

And when she noticed the creature behind Cocotte's cloud, her mind briefly went blank.

Because it was a completely abnormal creature.

Its form was like a red hunting hound.

Majestic and tall.

But the most abnormal thing was its astonishing three heads.

Each dog head was panting, huffing and puffing, drooling.

This was an absolutely abnormal dog.

But sohow, the mont she saw this three-headed hound, Lia felt strangely familiar.

It was as if, once before, she had seen it sowhere.

Although it wasn't very similar to the red hound in front of her, but...

"The guardian dog of Hell—Cerberus?"

She hesitantly spoke the na of the three-headed hound, then looked up to see Cocotte's reaction.

At this mont, Cocotte's mouth was slightly agape.

"How do you know what it's called? Did Viktor already tell you?"

"Goodness, I thought he was going to give it to you as a surprise."

However, she didn't notice.

The expression on Lia's face gradually beca very complex.

Because Lia rembered.

It was from so ti ago, when Viktor had explained sothing to her.

And he had used magic to demonstrate three different animals for her.

Viktor had always rembered his joke-like promise.

"The three-headed dog of Hell—Cerberus."

"If I get the chance, I'll get you a real one."

And now, he had really brought back a genuine Cerberus.

"Huff..."

Lia took a deep breath, slightly recovering from her incredibly complex emotions.

Afterwards, she raised her head again, smiling at Cocotte and said:

"Tomorrow, if Viktor still hasn't returned."

"I'll go find him with you."
