314: Isurna's search for her brother in the army
Chapter 313: Isurna Searches for Her Brothers in the Army
Night fell. After dinner, Dick knocked on Victoria's door.
Dick still had no clue about the conditions for awakening a Hero's fortune. Perhaps some clues could be found on Victoria.
Of course, Dick didn't hold out much hope; tonight's physical examination was just a routine matter.
"Dick, do you need something?"
After just a light knock, Victoria opened the door with a joyful expression, her tone rather impatient.
The room was equipped with a temperature-control barrier, making it very warm. Victoria was currently wearing only a black silk nightgown.
The half-open neckline barely concealed the surging waves, the form-fitting silk dress hugged her perfect figure, and the faintly visible interior revealed her full charm...
With just one experience, Victoria had completely shed her maidenly shyness. Now, she was more suited to the term 'alluring and captivating'.
Although Victoria said nothing, the blush on her face spoke volumes.
Dick understood perfectly and couldn't be bothered with pleasantries. He immediately walked into the room and locked the door behind him.
Anyway, he wouldn't need clothes to look for clues later.
...
Several hours later, looking at Victoria breathing softly in his arms, Dick sighed inwardly.
He had just repeatedly examined Victoria inside and out, hoping to find some scattered clues.
Unfortunately, Victoria's body showed no abnormalities, at least no difference from before she awakened the Hero's fortune.
However, based on past experience, Victoria would still undergo many changes next. The most intuitive would be the surge in her Rogue talent!
Victoria would become, in the true sense, the Northern region's most talented Rogue!
In addition, Victoria's luck would also improve, and many opportunities to enhance her strength would come her way.
"Dick, you have so many tricks. My experience is clearly so shallow..."
Hearing Victoria's complaint in his arms, Dick withdrew his thoughts and smiled slightly, "Did you dislike it?"
"It... it was alright," Victoria bit her lip and whispered, "But next time you must tell me in advance so I can be prepared..."
Victoria didn't want to change the sheets and bedding every time. After all, she couldn't be discovered by the maids and had to do it herself, which was quite troublesome.
Dick also understood Victoria's meaning and immediately said softly, "Don't worry, I'm a responsible man. I'll help you clean up the battlefield later."
"Hmph~"
Tens of minutes later, Dick got dressed and prepared to leave.
Victoria reluctantly hugged Dick from behind and said in a muffled voice, "I can't sleep alone."
Hearing this exact same excuse as before, Dick pursed his lips and gently broke free from Victoria's embrace.
"If I stay here, you really won't be able to sleep."
"Then I won't sleep. Anyway, the meeting with the ministers tomorrow can be postponed again..."
Looking at the already infatuated Victoria, Dick felt a little emotional.
If he really became the Emperor's Consort and wreaked havoc in the Toya Empire, he might actually be able to make Victoria addicted to male beauty, indulge in nightly pleasures, and no longer attend morning court.
But no matter what, this was inefficient behavior. Destroying the Toya Empire was a small matter and couldn't waste his precious time.
Before leaving, Dick looked over Victoria's identity information again and was quite satisfied with her.
If the Toya Empire was later crushed by Amyria's iron cavalry, Dick would be willing to take Victoria in when she became homeless.
A Stealth Hero is very terrifying and can make everyone lose sleep.
Rather than letting strangers run rampant in places he didn't know, it was better to have the familiar Victoria become a Hero and keep her under his control.
The Nine Great Heroes and the Nine Great Witches were all beings who could influence the world, representing great variables. If possible, Dick hoped these variables could all be controlled.
Of course, the biggest variable was still Isurna.
According to the original development, Isurna should have been caught in the quagmire of war by now, unable to extricate herself.
Just wait, Isurna, I'll come find you soon.
...
Meanwhile, in the Central Region of the Demon Spirit Continent, on the border of the Holy Suweier Empire, inside a tent at a frontline outpost.
"Sister, why have you come? There are no children here for you to teach..."
"Yes, yes, Sister, you didn't say you were coming beforehand. We haven't even taken off our armor..."
"The outpost is full of rough men, very crude. You should hurry back to Utan City..."
Three tall, handsome young men were seen bowing, surrounding a purple-haired woman seated on a long chair, their faces showing flattery.
"Stop playing dumb. You all know why I'm here, right?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Silence immediately fell inside the tent. The three young men exchanged glances, their eyes filled with awkwardness and unease.
Tens of seconds later, Isurna crossed her arms over her chest and said in an unquestionable tone, "Jem, Hanta, Ryan, pack your things immediately and come home with me. This is not where you should be!"
"Sister, you're asking for the impossible..."
"We are still serving. Leaving without permission would be considered desertion!"
"The military's retirement procedures are complicated. How long would it take to complete the process... at least a year or two."
Hearing this, Isurna stood up, scaring the three young men into immediately kneeling on the ground, trembling. Despite being soldiers who had fought on the battlefield.
"I've already spoken with Your Majesty, and she will arrange everything. Now, take off that dirty armor!"
Although the three young men's bodies were still trembling, they did not comply and dared not voice any further resistance, merely lowering their heads and remaining silent.
Due to their parents' early death, Isurna, although only a few years older, had played the role of a parent since they were young.
Both loving and strict!
The three young men knew very well that even if they were wearing armor and holding greatswords, they were no match for Isurna, who was wearing a floral long dress.
No, they didn't even have the courage to raise their swords.
The entire Suweier Kingdom knew of Isurna's terrifying strength, and as her biological younger brothers, the three of them knew it better than anyone.
From childhood to adulthood, they had never once defeated Isurna, and even if the three brothers attacked together, they couldn't last for a minute.
And this was when Isurna was holding back.
Originally, the three brothers were very self-conscious, thinking they were useless at sword techniques.
But they never expected that after leaving home and joining the army, the three brothers would discover... that not a single person in the army or on the battlefield was their opponent.
Most people seemed not to know how to use a sword. Compared to Isurna's sword techniques, others seemed like they were just playing house.
Now, the three brothers had repeatedly achieved remarkable feats on the battlefield, their military ranks continuously rose, and their reputation grew higher and higher.
But more than remembering the names Jem, Hanta, and Ryan, people remembered that they were Isurna's younger brothers.
