now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David stopped in his tracks, gently reassuring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing his words, the Fox Girl trembled, slowly moving the tail that covered her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a young-looking face appeared, tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, filled with fear and unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the newcomer was indeed not Viscount Eagle Wing, the Little Fox Girl seemed a bit relieved, hugging her knees, silently crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David didn’t know what to say for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first used his sword to cut the shackles off the Little Fox Girl, took off his cloak to cover her, and then handed her some food, letting her eat first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed little by little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Fox Girl finally calmed down, looking at David with vigilance still in her eyes but with less hostility, sensing the kindness of the person in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\" The Little Fox Girl spoke, her voice very soft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the Little Fox Girl speak, David was a bit surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been guessing whether the Little Fox Girl was human or a demon, and now that she could speak human language, he leaned more toward her being human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David thought for a moment and asked, \"Are you human?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Fox Girl, upon hearing, showed a moment of confusion, shook her head and said, \"I don’t know if I still am.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David caught the key point, his eyes flickering, \"You were human before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Fox Girl nodded, \"Yes, I used to be an ordinary person, but not long ago, I suddenly grew fox characteristics.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes showed memories, a trace of pain appeared on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After transforming into a beastman, she was discovered and then captured as a witch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Viscount Eagle Wing did not hand her over to the Church, but imprisoned her in this secret chamber until David’s arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was low, filled with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizards are people cursed by Devils, marked as ominous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she did not notice that the Frost Wolf Lord’s eyes suddenly lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David had been searching for traces of wizards, and he didn’t expect to encounter a witch here in Frost Wolf Ridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though only a witch who had awakened Wizard Power, not one who truly mastered the wizard’s legacy, she still allowed him to glimpse a corner of the wizard’s mystery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are your plans from here on?\" David asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the Little Fox Girl showed confusion, she didn’t know what to do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this vast world, there was truly no place for wizards, and if discovered by the Church, all that awaited her was death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, death indeed feels like a release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you have nowhere to go, then come with me.\" David offered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Fox Girl suddenly lifted her head, her eyes fixed on the young lord before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lighthearted, confused, doubtful...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various complex emotions flashed through her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doesn’t this young lord fear the Church’s retribution?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps, like Viscount Eagle Wing, does he intend to imprison her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she wondered, she suddenly noticed the room temperature drop rapidly, and in the young lord’s hand appeared an Ice Cone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you also a wizard?\" The Little Fox Girl suddenly widened her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of mastery over the Power of Ice, in her understanding, could only be wielded by a wizard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, I suppose you could say that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David smiled slightly, offering no further explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Fox Girl’s eyes finally showed a glimmer of hope, perhaps garnering a bit more motivation for survival. She nodded firmly, \"I’ll go with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had previously thought that if she couldn’t survive, she’d use death to end her nightmare life, feeling as though she had nothing left to fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But looking at the lord before her, she felt that even a wizard could live like a normal person, and even like a lord, live freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David nodded, and after leaving the chamber, found a hat and some loose new clothes to help the Little Fox Girl cover her fox ears and tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been a long time since the Little Fox Girl had seen the sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had clearly intended to die, having decided to give up even life itself, what else could she possibly miss in this world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the moment she saw the sunlight, tears uncontrollably welled up in her eyes, as there were indeed small beautiful things in this world worth cherishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at the person before her who had allowed her to see the sunlight once again, steadfastly stepping forward and quietly followed his pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two walked one after the other, the sunlight shining down, causing their shadows to overlap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she found herself arriving at that familiar plaza.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounded by many people, some familiar faces among them, she involuntarily tensed, afraid of being recognized, just like before when she was dragged to the lord’s castle as a monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, the hat was covering her face thoroughly, giving her a small sense of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, most of her sense of security still came from the tall figure before her, as long as she followed his footsteps, she comforted herself inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once the trial is over, we’ll head back to Frost Wolf Ridge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trial?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Fox Girl was somewhat puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But shortly after, she saw the person tied to the stake in the plaza.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viscount Eagle Wing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She actually saw Viscount Eagle Wing here, the one who was already dead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And besides Viscount Eagle Wing, all members of the Eagle Wing Clan were bound to the stake without exception!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, she was completely stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Little Fox Girl stunned, David reminded her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he directly walked toward the giant stone seat in the plaza, sitting down upon it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Fox Girl quietly followed, standing beside the stone seat, her eyes staring fixedly at the already deceased Viscount Eagle Wing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Duke, all the main members of the Eagle Wing Clan are here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some collateral branches with the Eagle Wing Clan’s blood are fleeing; someone has already taken the Gray Wolf to pursue them, they definitely won’t escape Eagle Wing Castle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, those officials loyal to the Eagle Wing Clan have also been detained in prison.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The official named Mohan dutifully reported the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your hard work, let the trial begin.\" David nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the trial commenced, one by one, the crimes of the Eagle Wing Clan were disclosed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heaviest charge was, of course, the betrayal of the Lord, which alone was enough to doom the Eagle Wing Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Eagle Wing Clan’s other crimes were indeed numerous, many of which involved the common people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This could further weaken the Eagle Wing Clan’s reputation in Eagle Wing Castle and assist Frost Wolf Ridge in better taking over Eagle Wing Castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, amidst the roars and pleas of the Eagle Wing Clan members, the purifying flames roared high, consuming all of the Eagle Wing Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Fox Girl watched silently, a tear rolling down from the corner of her eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let this flame turn all of her nightmares to ashes...\u003C\u002Fp>",1215,"2026-06-02T12:15:32.079Z",1,"novelbin.me","74b315ef5d06bb9487f318e128774486133d686aac32d84ff5c447ba5651a1b2","wizard-stronger-through-marriage-chapter-41","wizard-stronger-through-marriage-chapter-39",992,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-stronger-through-marriage-cover.jpg"]
