Three days have passed since the disappearance of Bred, the Sword Hero...
Princess Noren sat in a luxurious chair, holding a wine glass filled with juice in one hand, lost in thought.
On the night Brad disappeared, a fierce battle broke out on a street in Branico, leaving deep traces of the fighting. The loud noises from the battle woke the sleeping residents, but when they went to investigate, all that remained was ruins; there was no sign of anyone.
Judging from the traces at the scene, it was likely a duel between two swordsmen.
[These past few days, I've sent the lord of Braniko and his knights to search for the whereabouts of the Sword Hero, Breed, but to no avail. Has that lesbian pervert really died?]
Three days have passed since then, and Princess Loren can only conclude that the Sword Hero, Breed, died in that battle.
Logically speaking, this should be impossible. The Sword Hero, Bred, is incredibly powerful. Although her swordsmanship is only third-rate, her superior level and physical attributes, coupled with the skills provided by the divine sword Ragnarok, make her virtually invincible. In a direct confrontation, no one can defeat her.
The only way to break through Brett's defenses is probably through seduction. This lesbian psychopath is extremely addicted to women, and targeting that aspect could lead to assassination.
According to the intelligence gathered, Brad did indeed approach a woman named Alice at the bar that night. She appeared to be a noblewoman. However, after investigation, no one named Alice exists in Branislavsky.
[This woman named Alice is very likely the assassin who killed Brad.]
However, judging from the marks on the battlefield, this has clearly shifted to an open confrontation. In a head-on standoff, no one should be able to defeat Breed, let alone an assassin who is not skilled in direct combat.
[Only the Hero and the Demon King can defeat the Hero, and end the battle in a very short time, killing Breed... The traces at the scene indicate a duel between two swordsmen... Was it the Hero of the Blade who killed Breed? A hero belonging to the Ister Empire... Why didn't he stay in the Empire? What is he doing in Blarney?]
[Could it be that information about this operation and the personnel involved has been leaked... After learning that the Sword Hero had come to Branico with the Holy Lance Knights, the Ister Empire, in order to reduce the number of heroes in the Kingdom of Geolar, dispatched the Blade Hero and the assassin named Alice to carry out a decapitation operation against the Sword Hero, Breed.]
Alice's task was to lower the Sword Hero's guard and lead Breed to the designated location, while the Blade Hero, who had been lying in wait, was responsible for ambushing and launching a surprise attack.
The surprise attack was successful, but it came at a price for Breed, possibly an arm. The divine sword Ragnarok couldn't regenerate severed limbs, so the Sword Hero, weakened by the loss of an arm, fought back for a while but ultimately succumbed to the Blade Hero's blade. The two then fled the scene with Breed's body and remains before the residents could react.
[This is highly likely... In other words, it's possible that the Ister Empire was behind it. So, were that foolish woman Freya and the Healer Kaiar also ambushed and killed by them on their way back to the capital?]
Noren stopped thinking and rubbed his slightly throbbing temples. Because there wasn't enough information, he could only speculate and there was no concrete evidence to prove that the East Empire was responsible.
She may indeed be extremely intelligent, but she is by no means infallible. Although she is confident that she is second to none in the ability to discern and utilize information, it is impossible for her to fully uncover the truth when information is lacking.
Norren was a strategist, not a detective.
Because her own strength is too weak, she cannot accomplish anything no matter how intelligent she is, without others to carry out her orders. Without others to protect her safety, she can only be considered a weak woman with a little bit of cleverness.
Due to discrepancies and omissions in the information, coupled with Chen Hao's deliberate attempts to confuse the public, Princess Norren's reasoning began to gradually deviate and develop in an absurd direction, but she herself was completely unaware of it.
[Next, let's quickly deal with Braniko, and then consider how to investigate the hero's disappearance.]
Noren shook his head and drank the juice in his glass in one gulp.
She doesn't drink alcohol. In her view, it not only tastes bitter, but alcohol also doesn't bring her any value and only damages her brilliant brain.
—————
On the other hand, unlike Nuolun's distress, Chen Hao was in a very pleasant mood.
The day before yesterday, knights were indeed searching everywhere for the whereabouts of the "Sword Hero" Breed, even going door-to-door to search. However, the knights who came to search his house were just bringing him free spies.
Over the past few days, Breed has been constantly toyed with by [Rogue Four]. On the first day, she was subjected to all sorts of tricks, and on the second day, even the knights who came to search her house got a taste of it, which made Breed completely lose hope.
On the third day, Chen Hao even dragged Freya, who had changed her appearance back to Freya, to watch from the side, so that Bridal would be watched by the princess Freya she had always dreamed of, seeing her debauched appearance after being trained, and experiencing the ultimate humiliation.
