However, Loria's good fortune didn't last long; her dream didn't last long.
On the seventh day after leaving the count's territory, she saw a disturbing message in the simulation.
With the arrival of the Imperial elite forces, Lord Norton's rebellion was quelled, and in the process, several of the Secret Leader's assassins were captured.
Vita was also captured, but not by the Empire, but by the Hidden Leader.
The reason Loria in the simulation knew about this was because a royal knight fighting on the front lines sent back a message.
He received information that the Hidden Leader supported Earl Norton in order to obtain the Enka Stone, which corroborated the message sent by Earl Loria Torrideria.
In passing on this message, the Royal Knight also mentioned that while gathering information, he heard that the Hidden Leader had severely punished the assassins who failed to bring back the Enka Stone.
“Some people were even beaten to death on the spot.”
Loria's expression darkened upon seeing this message.
Could the person who got beaten to death be Vita?
If she hadn't interfered, Vita and the others would definitely have been able to obtain the Enka Stone smoothly, and thus they wouldn't have been punished.
but now……
Loria grew increasingly anxious.
How could she sit idly by at a time like this?
Let's just take Vita and leave the Hidden Leader. She's already betrayed the Hidden Leader twice. If she stays there, something will happen to her sooner or later.
A voice has been echoing in my mind.
After sitting quietly for about ten minutes, Loria suddenly opened her eyes.
We can't just sit here doing nothing, or we'll definitely regret it later.
When the carriage stopped again by the roadside to resupply food and water, Loria jumped down and went to say goodbye to Count Lydalia.
"Are you going to save someone you're very close to?"
"Ah."
Count Lydalia stared at Loria for a long time.
"Then let's go."
It's commendable to fight for the people you care about.
Loria packed her bags and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, she had to tell Miss Fat Sheep and the others that leaving without saying goodbye was not her style.
Miss Fat Sheep immediately expressed her desire to go along, but was suppressed by Coleridge. As for Mrs. Lucy, it was even less likely that she would go.
When it was Doris's turn, the result was unexpected.
"Are you coming with me?"
Loria stared in astonishment at the "big loli" who was grabbing her clothes.
"This trip will be very dangerous and there will be a lot of trouble. Aren't you afraid of trouble?"
Doris nodded, then shook her head: "Are you going to throw me away?"
Loria said, "Of course not, I'm just going out for a bit, I'll be back soon."
Doris continued to shake her head: "I don't believe it. The doctor told me the same thing a long time ago, and then, and then..."
She scratched her head, as if she remembered something, but looked troubled.
"I don't remember very clearly, but afterwards I was digging for stones for a very long time, until I met you again."
Complex and long sentences were still too challenging for Doris, but her body language already conveyed her attitude.
Loria was still somewhat hesitant.
She certainly wanted to bring Doris, her good helper, along to rescue Vita, but Doris had the Hollow Stone inside her.
Although she didn't know what the Hollow Stone was for, since the Hidden Leader wanted it, she absolutely couldn't give it to him.
"Take her with you."
Just then, a clear voice rang out.
Loria turned her head and saw the president, who had changed into a simple knight's dress, walking towards her from a distance.
"President?"
"I'll go with you."
"No, this, that..." Loria waved her hand, "President, aren't you still receiving the inheritance?"
The president said, "It won't take more than a few days. We'll be heading to Earl Norton's territory in a few days, so we can digest it slowly on the way."
With a gentle flick of her long golden hair, her dashing and heroic demeanor was truly captivating.
Finally, defeated by the president's gaze, Loria had no choice but to accept this reality and switch from solo to a three-person team.
Sitting in the express car, Loria would steal glances at the president every now and then. The president had his eyes closed, and his face was expressionless. It was hard to tell whether he was receiving a transmission or just keeping his eyes closed.
"If we successfully rescue Vita, what should we do next?"
Loria couldn't help but recall the battle between the president and Vita in the simulation.
Trying to reconcile the two of them would be difficult even for someone as slippery as her; neither of them would necessarily accept being caught in the middle.
"President."
Loria suddenly spoke.
She decided to find something to talk about to avoid overthinking.
Have you thought about your major life events?
"What major life event?"
"It's something like getting married."
The president said, "I never thought about it before. My partner is meaningless to me. If I want to get rid of the urge to get an erection, I can just buy some toys."
As expected of the president, she doesn't shy away from showing off the toys at home at all.
Loria muttered to herself, then said, "You never thought about it before, so that means you're thinking about it now?"
This time, it was Doris who answered: "What is marriage?"
Loria said, "Marriage is making a contract with someone you love, and staying together forever to become family."
Doris tilted her head back and asked, "I like Loria, so can I marry Loria?"
"???"
Loria and the president both turned to look at Doris.
The female knight laughed and waved her hand, "You're too young. If you were a little older, I might consider it."
President: "..."
Doris pouted: "Does Loria not want to be family with me?"
Loria said, "Being a family member doesn't necessarily mean getting married; there are other ways."
"That's right, you don't necessarily have to get married."
The president reached out and gently patted Doris's head.
"Don't rub it, you'll rub your ears crooked."
Doris sullenly avoided the president and shrank to Loria's side.
Ha ha.
The president decided not to stoop to the level of this big loli.
She continued to close her eyes and receive the inheritance.
The express train sped along at a speed five or six times faster than an ordinary carriage, and so, on the second night, after breaking through the barriers of two bandit armies, the three arrived near the Earl of Norton's territory.
This place has become a battlefield, but because the war came so suddenly, the civilians living here had no time to evacuate and could only passively accept the cruel reality before them.
The devastation left Loria feeling heavy-hearted.
When she came here a few days ago, the place was thriving.
"Let's simulate it first."
With a sigh, Loria opened the simulator.
Before officially taking Vita away, she decided to do a rehearsal to minimize the risks.
The Isolated Island Kingdom: 24. Loria is always so understanding [Two-in-One]
Loria was glad that she had conducted a simulation before the actual operation.
Because of what happened before, the Hidden Leader indeed sent more people.
Vita was the strongest among the group that originally came to "kidnap" Earl Norton, but now she has become a heavy warrior.
The word "heavy" doesn't refer to the warrior's physique, but rather to the fact that her weapons and equipment are extremely heavy.
Heavy armor, tower shields, three-meter-long spears...
The text displayed on the simulator was telling Loria what kind of monster she was facing.
This is truly a monster!
Her agility is a weakness compared to her stamina.
But after these months of honing her skills, her base agility has increased to 96 points, and with the bonus from the Monster Girl Boots, it has soared to 108 points.
This already meets the standard for a C-rank adventurer.
however……
You realize your attacks can't break the turtle shell, so you decide to take a detour, but no matter how you try, you're always blocked by the heavy warrior.
Loria was completely dumbfounded.
