Female Knight Simulator, I am full of righteousness!

"Thinking about it that way, the Countess and Tracy are a bit pitiful."

Loria didn't know what Tracy was thinking, but the Countess practically had her intention to have her daughter replace the chairman and inherit the Lydalia Countess's business written all over her face.

For this reason, she devoted herself to nurturing Tracy, shaping her into an "all-rounder".

But it didn't work.

Perhaps it was because Count Lydalia thought the president was his eldest daughter, or perhaps it was because he thought the president was the daughter of his first wife, or perhaps it was because he thought the president resembled him. No matter how hard Tracy tried, she couldn't close the distance with her target, not even by a centimeter.

"Oh no, this is terrible."

Loria shook her head secretly.

If Tracy knew the truth, would she regret all that she had sacrificed, and think she should have just relaxed and enjoyed life from the beginning?

Just like her.

Tracy was, after all, the daughter of an earl. Although she couldn't inherit the family business, it would be quite easy for her to live a very comfortable life.

However, Loria had no intention of gossiping and decided to let things take their natural course.

With the help of Count Lydalia, she finally managed to find the Royal Knights to assist her in this simulation.

Under the investigation of the Royal Knights, Earl Norton revealed a flaw in his composure during his panic.

Even among those who surrendered, there were differences. He, a member of the surrender faction, was not much better. His expression changed after being questioned a few times, which immediately caught the attention of the Royal Knights.

Left with no other choice, the assassins sent by the leader of the secret society had to act ahead of schedule.

They dared not hold back in dealing with these royal knights.

Loria did not participate in the fight, but instead hid to the side to gather intelligence. This observation made her realize that she could not fight them head-on, because there were two assassins on the other side who were at the level of B-rank adventurers.

After using the summoning card, she can only temporarily hold off one person at most.

But it's not a big problem. With Count Lidalia and the Royal Knights around, she has a lot to achieve.

"and……"

Loria opened her inventory and checked the goddess statue stored inside.

She learned from Vita that the Hidden Leaders worshipped the Weavers, and if these assassins, who weren't core members, also worshipped the Weavers, then the goddess statue in her possession should come in very handy.

"My Goddess, for the sake of this land you love, please grant me power! I will make all those who plot against me submit at your feet!"

Loria bowed in the air, then continued watching the simulation.

When she looked up, she was surprised to find that it was pouring rain outside the window.

"It was sunny just a moment ago, what kind of weather is this?"

Although she didn't need to rush to collect the clothes, she should go back now, otherwise the chairman would worry.

Loria said goodbye to Miss Fat Sheep and walked into the rain with her umbrella.

As she passed a coffee shop, she stopped and, through the glass wall, saw a familiar face—

Countess!

The Countess had changed her clothes and makeup, but Loria still recognized her at a glance. She was having coffee with someone, and the person sitting opposite her was a man.

"?"

Loria subconsciously touched her head.

Is Count Lydalia being cuckolded?

Driven by her burning passion for gossip, she immediately moved closer. Even amidst the raging storm, her abilities allowed her to clearly hear what the Countess was saying.

“Madam, please reconsider. This is not only for you and Tracy, but also for the good of the entire Lydalia family.”

The man pushed a piece of paper in front of the Countess.

The countess pressed the paper down with her hand and remained silent.

Please keep this safe.

The man nodded, put on his bespectacles, and left the coffee shop.

What's written on the paper?

Loria wanted to take a look, but the Countess simply tucked the paper into her sleeve.

About five minutes later, the Countess got up and left the café. She stopped next to a trash can, looked around, and after making sure no one was watching, took out the paper and stared at it blankly.

This gaze seems to last for a whole year.

Finally, she sighed, tore the paper to shreds, and threw it directly into the trash can.

As soon as her figure disappeared into the rain, Loria rushed over and tried to piece the shredded paper back together.

But she quickly gave up on the idea, because the paper was torn to shreds, and when the rain washed it, it stuck together in a ball, and the words on the paper were completely blurred.

"Damn it, why is it raining for no reason? Are you just bored?"

Loria cursed angrily.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky.

"Thunder? Thunder my foot!"

She kicked the trash can in frustration and then headed towards the chairman's house. This was very unusual and needed to be investigated.

Not long after she walked away, another bolt of lightning ripped through the rain and struck the trash can directly.

Island Nation: 15. But I refuse! [Two-in-one]

Loria got out of bed and glanced at the clock on the wall.

It's 3 a.m.

Because it was raining heavily outside, the air felt especially cold.

Just after midnight, she conducted a simulation in order to find out what the Countess was up to behind the scenes.

These are turbulent times, and her previous simulations have taught her that simulators are not a panacea, so she has to be extra careful.

Loria folded the blanket into a perfect square, put on her raincoat, pulled up the hood, and tied the little rope on her rain boots.

After finishing all that, she pushed open the door and went out. To her surprise, she saw someone outside the door.

"President?"

Loria was stunned.

She couldn't see the person's face clearly, but that head of long golden hair was too easy to recognize.

Moreover, she could smell a faint fragrance, a scent she always caught when bathing with the president.

"Why are you dressed like that at night instead of sleeping?"

The president turned around, his eyes revealing little about his expression, but his slightly furrowed brows betrayed his unease.

She heard a sound.

If someone gets up in the middle of the night, something must be wrong.

I also want to ask you, what are you doing out in the hallway so late at night instead of sleeping?

Loria pouted.

“It’s something very important,” she said.

"Go and meet with Yukihime, or Lucy?"

"..."

I feel like those words are quite offensive.

Loria shook her head. Since she was already blocked, she felt it was better to tell the truth.

"I'm going to..."

Loria expressed her intention to leave.

The president immediately said, "I'll go with you."

Loria quickly waved her hand: "No, no, if you go, President, it might... expose you. What I mean is there are too many people. The more people there are, the bigger the target becomes, and the bigger the target, the easier it is to be exposed. That's right, that's what I mean."

Of course, she couldn't say that she was afraid the chairman would do something wrong.

The Countess was not the chairman's biological mother, but a stepmother is still a mother, and they are related.

After hesitating for a long time, the president finally nodded.

"Goodbye."

Loria fled quickly, fearing that the president might change his mind and chase after her.

According to the simulator, the Countess went out in the middle of the night to meet the person she had met at the café that afternoon. They had some arguments during the trip, but the Countess was not in any danger.

Loria, hiding on the roof of the flat building, saw the Countess standing under a row of eaves from dozens of meters away.

A short while later, a man walked over.

The rain was loud, but Loria could still hear some indistinct sounds.

"Mrs. Sainsbury, what's your decision?"

The Countess stepped her right foot back slightly, crossing it with her left. She leaned against the slightly damp wall, a smile playing on her red lips.

“Sainsbury, it’s been a long time since anyone called me by that last name.”

As the youngest daughter of the Earl of Sainsbury's, she had almost completely severed ties with the Lydilli family since marrying into it.

But unexpectedly, twenty years later, someone from that family came back.

Not only did they arrive, but they also made connections with some ambitious individuals from the collateral branches of Count Lydalia's family.

The Countess said, "I've thought about it for a long time."

The man said in a low voice, "This is a very important matter that needs to be carefully considered. But don't worry, Madam, we have already made preparations. Even if Count Lydalia has strength comparable to a C-rank adventurer, we are confident that we can subdue him without attracting the attention of others. Even if something unexpected happens, we will never let you be exposed."

Countess: "..."

The man continued, "If it succeeds, Miss Tracy will be the new Earl of Lydalia. Even if it fails, you and Miss Tracy can continue to be your countess and daughters of the Earl's family. Madam, once you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another chance."
