Female Knight Simulator, I am full of righteousness!

Both simulations yielded optimistic results. Despite the setback, Earl Norton did not reveal to the head of the secret society who came to investigate that the person who visited him that day was her.

With Vita mediating between them, the head of the secret society had no doubt that she was the murderer.

"It looks pretty good."

But Loria still dared not relax.

Just in case, she decided to advise the chairman's family to move outside to avoid trouble.

She thought she would have to use a lot of persuasion, but to her surprise, Count Lydalia agreed as soon as she opened her mouth.

"It just so happens that I was planning to find a quiet place to recuperate for a while."

No sooner said than done, Count Lydalia ordered his men to start packing that very evening.

He said he was going to recuperate, but in reality he was going to seek refuge, so he did not inform his relatives.

By the next morning, Count Lydalia had almost finished packing his things.

"Moving again?"

Mrs. Lucy looked at Loria, who had come to her door, in astonishment.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city and away from those annoying reporters, she has been living quite comfortably in the countryside these days, and she is even prepared to live here for the rest of her life.

Loria shrugged: "The situation is turbulent, there's nothing we can do."

Even without the incident of stealing the Enka Stone, the Count of Lyderia could no longer remain in its territory.

A large number of members of the Secret Order infiltrated the vicinity, turning the place into a potential cauldron that could explode at any moment.

As the saying goes, a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, and Loria felt it was best to stay away from these people as much as possible.

She now carries a lot of "resentment" from the gods, and she doesn't want to have any more conflicts with the weaver, otherwise her body will become a breeding ground for gods and demons.

This is nothing to be proud of; she's just an ordinary person, how could she possibly compete with those gods?

After all the notifications were given, Loria embarked on her "escape" that very evening.

On the way out of the Count of Lydalia, she leaned out of the carriage window and immediately saw Vita standing on the hill.

The two looked at each other but said nothing.

Ultimately, they are different paths, and whether they will lead to the same destination, who knows now?

Loria pulled her head back, drew the curtain closed, and began to rest with her eyes shut.

Without a piece of the Enka Stone, the Hidden Leader's plan to break the seal and release the demons will likely be shelved.

The future direction of the war between the Empire and the Hidden Leader is irrelevant to her; she only wants to increase her strength as quickly as possible and, incidentally, eliminate the threat of that demon and the goddess of madness and indulgence.

As for pleasure, debauchery, and the Dark Moon Goddess...

To be honest, Loria had no idea whether this goddess was there to help her or had a deeper scheme.

"But I don't have the ability to cut ties with her right now, so I can only take it one step at a time."

Loria sighed.

Life is tough, what can we do?

She just hoped that everything would go smoothly on this trip.

On the other side, on the hill, Vita, who had just seen Loria off, suddenly reached out and covered her lower abdomen.

The situation is very bad.

The Weaver's power went out of control during that day's battle, and for the past few days, she has felt pain even when walking.

If this continues, she will eventually be devoured by the Weaver.

This is different from what others have experienced.

Others who are devoured by the Weaver at most lose their sense of self and become the Weaver's puppets.

Because she received the Weaver's power, many spider silks were buried in her body. Once she is devoured, she will probably transform into a giant spider.

"monster?"

Vita gave a wry smile.

If she appeared in front of Loria like that, she would definitely be seen as a monster.

But what could she do?

From the day she was targeted by the head of the secret organization, her life was destined to be bleak; she had no right to pursue happiness.

It's not really that bad.

"I've lived long enough, at least compared to other people."

Vita thought of Sylph, who had passed away. Of the group of people who had come out of the training camp with her, she was now the only one left.

She straightened her wind-blown hair, put on a cat mask to cover her eyes, and then turned and walked toward Earl Norton's house.

Although several members of the Secret Leaders died at the Earl of Norton's house, the Secret Leaders still intend to continue their cooperation.

The empire needs chaos, the more chaotic the better.

Lord Norton, however, was just a small spark that could cause chaos in the empire.

Now that things have come to this, he has no way to extricate himself and can only follow the orders of the Hidden Leader.

……

August 8th, the fourth day after leaving the Count of Lydalia.

Loria, who was hoping for a safe journey, encountered trouble halfway through. Someone blocked the road, and the person blocking the road was an army.

"???"

Loria's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

The army doesn't seem very large, maybe two thousand men at most.

Judging from their complexion and attire, this was not a defeated army. They were likely troops stationed in the local area, and their long march at this time was obviously for the front-line battle.

However, this army, which was supposed to protect the empire, blocked Loria and her companions on their way.

Their goal was simple—

I need money!

Their methods were also very simple—

grab!

"We're all smart people; it's best not to make us do it ourselves."

The leader grinned maliciously as he spoke to the seemingly indifferent butler opposite him.

His gaze swept back and forth, finally landing on the Countess who was leaning out to observe the situation outside, and his eyes immediately lit up.

“I’ve changed my mind. You not only have to leave the money, but you also have to leave her.”

The butler said in a deep voice, "The person sitting in the carriage is Count Lydalia. Are you sure you want to do this?"

The man blocking the way was clearly taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Earl? Where is the earl? There are only a group of warriors fighting for the country here. We have protected your safety, so isn't it only right that you give us a little something in return? Hurry up, or my patience will run out."

What is a soldier's scoundrel? This is a soldier's scoundrel.

Seeing this, Loria felt that the Oder Empire was truly doomed. Even if it didn't fall at the hands of the Hidden Leader, it probably wouldn't last much longer.

The local garrison is the most important force in the empire, but now that they are so greedy, lustful, and lawless, how can they be expected to be brave and dedicated in battle?

"I'll go and talk to them."

Loria jumped off the carriage.

With her outstanding looks, agile figure, and pleasant appearance, she easily attracted the attention of everyone who stopped her.

“Miss, instead of following this so-called Earl Lydalia family, why don’t you join us? We will protect you.”

"Are you going to the province of Clarence?" Loria asked.

The man shook his head: "We're going to intimidate Earl Norton, who has just raised the banner of rebellion."

Loria pursed her lips. Earl Norton had indeed rebelled, just as the simulation had predicted. Fortunately, she had already made her escape, otherwise she didn't know how much trouble she would have encountered.

"Small……"

"Snapped."

Loria suddenly slapped the officer who was about to speak across the face.

"What kind of attitude is this, daring to covet the Countess? For your crimes, I wouldn't be too much to kill you three times over!"

The officer was completely stunned by the blow, and his henchmen, once they came to their senses, immediately pointed their rifles and other weapons at Loria.

What do you want to do?

"You bitch!"

Loria didn't take it seriously.

That's it?

Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have two thousand men? A unit with no morale and no idea what it's fighting for will collapse immediately if you just eliminate a few "flag bearers".

"If you're so capable, then come and avenge him."

Facing a large, imposing crowd, Loria assumed a fighting stance.

Before long, those people rushed towards her, howling. She held her greatsword in both hands and, relying on the agility of her cat-like movements, defeated dozens of people in a very short time.

This level of casualties wasn't enough to frighten these scoundrels, but what happened next completely overturned their understanding.

"Give it your all, this woman can't hold on any longer."

"Don't kill her, it would be such a waste."

Amidst the shouts, Loria faced a dozen or so spears thrusting at her.

The materials used to make this spear were unusual, and those who used it were all skilled soldiers with strength comparable to D-rank adventurers.

Under normal circumstances, let alone a petite girl, it could easily pierce even an iron wall.

But today, even with these dozen or so spears attacking simultaneously, they couldn't even pierce Loria's clothes and skin.
