263: Victoria is a man of her word, Cecilia needs comfort

Chapter 263: Victoria Who Kept Her Word, Cecilia Who Needed Comfort

For Dick, sparing Leon's life wasn't to exchange him for diplomatic benefits with the Toya Empire, but because Leon really couldn't be killed.

Generally speaking, behind every professional bounty hunter is a similarly professional agent, who is responsible for intelligence gathering, business liaison, payment distribution, and other tasks.

A bounty hunter of Leon's level is definitely not alone; he must have an agent behind him.

If Leon died here, died during the mission to assassinate Victoria, this news would definitely be leaked by that agent.

Of course, Leon was at fault first in this matter; he was wrong, so the Bit Family would not trouble Victoria.

But Dick and his group were different; they still had missions to do in the Eternal Frost Forest afterward, and they would definitely be targeted by the Bit Family.

One must know that the Bit Family is the head of the three major Snow Elf families, the strongest local power in the Eternal Frost Forest. Annoying them would lead to endless trouble!

Out of the above concerns, Dick would not kill Leon but planned to personally send him to the Bit Family, taking the opportunity to gain a favor.

After all, whether it was the Elite's practical assessment or the various missions arranged by the System, all of them were to be carried out in the Eternal Frost Forest.

With the help of the Bit Family, it might be much easier.

...

After the attack, the three White Feather Beasts continued to fly Northern.

Leon's core of life was temporarily crippled, and he was confined to a wooden house on the back of a White Feather Beast, guarded personally by Donald, a fellow clansman.

After dinner, Dick was called by Victoria for a private talk.

From her extremely unnatural fidgeting, it could be seen that Victoria seemed to plan to continue what happened during the day; this Toya Princess truly kept her word.

At this moment, Dick was somewhat speechless, watching Victoria heavily pouring herself drinks.

Less than three minutes after entering, before the two had even exchanged many pleasantries, Victoria began drinking, finding various excuses to drink.

She wasn't drinking low-alcohol fruit wine, but high-proof spirits used for warming up, terrifyingly strong.

Although Northern people generally have good alcohol tolerance, they couldn't handle Victoria drinking like this. She quickly became tipsy, and the shyness on her face faded considerably.

Victoria probably knew herself that she was ultimately unable to convince her body, and her resolve was still lacking.

To make tonight's events go smoothly, she had to numb herself by getting drunk, unable to think about anything.

Victoria had heard of 'misconduct after drinking'; many nobles often committed various 'mistakes' after getting drunk, accumulating debt after debt from romantic affairs.

Originally, Victoria felt ashamed of such behavior, but now, she had to resort to this method.

"Princess, that's enough, isn't it? Drinking more isn't good for your health. The headache from a hangover is very uncomfortable, you know..."

Dick couldn't help but remind Victoria, afraid she might die here from alcohol poisoning.

"Are... are you concerned about me? That's interesting, considering we were mutually hostile mortal enemies before... Hahaha..."

Victoria was already drunk; she downed four bottles of strong spirits consecutively, all directly from the bottle, drinking them in one go.

Even the rough men in the taverns would yell 'awesome' upon seeing this.

Dick didn't argue but admitted honestly, "Yes, I am concerned about you, afraid your body might have problems."

"Oh ho~ So, can I interpret that as you caring about me a lot?"

"Yes, Princess."

"Haha, I care about you a lot too, Dick. We're just like a couple in love..."

Victoria was quite drunk; she twisted her slender waist, swayed her ample 'fruits', sat beside Dick, and intimately put her arm around his shoulder.

Normally, Victoria would never do such a bold thing, let alone say words so direct they were somewhat impolite.

"Heh, compared to that," Dick wrapped his arm around Victoria's slender waist in return, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "What we're about to do later is more like a couple in love, isn't it?"

As soon as the words fell, Victoria's body trembled, her ears turned red at a visible speed, and she instinctively shrank back, creating distance from Dick.

Seeing this, Dick also released his arm from her waist, not being forceful.

He knew that Victoria wasn't completely drunk yet and still retained a sliver of sobriety. She probably wanted to see how she would lose her purity.

After all, it was the most important thing in a woman's life. Victoria didn't want to lose it without knowing why, without any memory at all.

"Princess, it seems you are still not ready."

Dick slowly poured himself a glass of wine, looked at the flustered Victoria, and shook his head, "Forcing things is not my style, so tonight..."

Before Dick could finish, Victoria got up and snatched the wine bottle from his hand, 'gulping' it down again.

Bang!

The wine bottle was heavily placed on the table.

Burp~

Victoria let out a burp, looking somewhat cute. Then she staggered over to Dick and directly straddled his lap.

"I... I think I'm... ready... Begin..."

Victoria spoke intermittently, her consciousness extremely blurry, and soon she collapsed onto Dick... and fell asleep.

"Princess?"

Half a minute later, Victoria still had no movement. Dick tried calling out to her, but the only response was her steady breathing.

Seeing this, Dick pursed his lips, directly picked Victoria up, and gently placed her on the large bed.

After covering her with the blanket, Dick tidied up the room simply, extinguished the magic stone lamp, and left the room.

Victoria was completely unrouseable now; she was just a beautiful doll to be manipulated, with no reaction at all.

Her muscles were relaxed, there was no cooperation, and the emotional value provided was zero... This was even worse than doing it himself.

Dick didn't like it this way. Victoria was no different from a corpse, too boring. He wasn't some perverted creep who was desperate.

Besides, instead of this, why wouldn't he go find the other four girls?

Thinking this, Dick quickly knocked on Cecilia's door.

By observing the avatar under the 'Twisted Witch' mission, Dick found that this Witch who joined last was emotionally unstable and needed comfort.

"Dick, it's so late, is something wrong?"

Cecilia was still wearing light armor; as an Eternal Night Witch, she didn't need sleep and was planning to train all night.

Dick smiled without speaking, his expression ambiguous.

Seeing this, Cecilia was startled, then her gaze shifted downwards, and her pretty face quickly turned crimson.

"...Re- really, there's no helping you. It's cold outside, come in quickly..."
