Chapter 47: Surgery
“What do you think she is trying to do?”
“I do not know. Perhaps she is trying to buy people’s loyalty.”
Sitting on a haystack in the military camp, Luna and Lisa gnawed on green fruits while sizing up Diana, who was consoling the soldiers in the camp.
She was so open and upright about it. Box after box of copper coins was handed out to the soldiers in great handfuls. At the same time, she held her chin high, trying to let everyone clearly see her noble face.

Several children with burn marks on their faces pulled one another as they climbed up onto the haystack, then lined up and stretched their little hands toward Luna.
After giving them the remaining green fruits, Luna grinned and came up with a good idea.

“Go over there in a bit. See that person? As long as you obediently call her Your Highness the Princess, she will give you money.”
“Give us money?” The little brats sniffled. In their understanding, money was the same as tasty food and fun things, so their eyes immediately grew much clearer.
The children trotted off happily. As expected, after Diana revealed an impatient expression, she personally used a few copper coins to send them away.
Luna laughed so hard she clutched her stomach. Perhaps in this entire military camp, the only ones who truly wanted to take Diana’s money were these few children who understood nothing.
Eñ um_a
Even from the militia, Diana could at least receive a word of thanks. But in Ice City’s military camp, apart from Luna’s personal soldiers, the rest were knights who were highly loyal to Duke Oswald.
To put it unpleasantly, from the moment these people left their mothers’ wombs, they were destined to become Oswald’s die-hard troops. After all, most of their parents had been knights who followed the old Duke, making them true sons of respectable families.
Because of that, when the knights received the money, their expressions were unusually cold, appearing extremely unwilling. They could not resist the Princess, and they had already prepared themselves to accept punishment afterward.
Besides, did she think knights were conscripts that could be recruited with fifty coins? She wanted to buy over knights with copper coins? What knight could not withstand such a test?

After saying a few more words of encouragement, Diana left in satisfaction.
She was very confident. In the previous life, she had been chased and beaten into a sorry state by these people. In this life, she would definitely display the dignity of the royal family once again!

“Who do you think she will go find next?” Luna could not suppress the smile at the corner of her mouth. She absolutely had to record every detail of these events, then write a letter to Frank.
Lisa blinked, not particularly concerned. “Probably the nobles. That little bit of intention of hers cannot be hidden at all.”
“It seems someone is going to be unlucky.”
Luna lowered her eyes and chuckled softly, as though she had already seen the nobles sweating profusely and kneeling before that desk.
“Right, come with me on this expedition.”
Lisa froze in the middle of biting her green fruit. “Huh? But I have to go back tomorrow. And my current status is a military mage, so I cannot participate in a noble war.”

“Sigh, I do not feel confident alone. Tell me, what should I do to make the residents trust and submit to me?”
Luna hugged Lisa from behind, wrapping both arms around her waist and hanging off her like a little koala.
“I have not studied government affairs either. Other than practicing magic, I only learned how to fight wars. I do not even know as much as you do.” Lisa reached back and pinched Luna’s face, and the two of them laughed and played around for a while.
“But... have you really not learned anything while staying by those two people’s side?”
Luna raised her head and looked at the sky, a little troubled as she sighed. “I feel like Elder Brother does not seem to do anything at all, yet the residents naturally follow in his footsteps. As for Lady Eileen, she does too much, and she handles matters big and small with ease, so the residents all trust her very much...”
That was right. Those two were far too outstanding. Such a vast territory was not only managed in perfect order in their hands, but it had also already begun shaking off its decline and rising upward with great momentum.

Learning their abilities was not something that could be done in a short time.
“Actually, I think there is still one person worth asking for advice.” Lisa thought seriously for a while, then pinched Luna’s chin and turned it toward the direction of the main camp.

At that moment, Red had just finished handling official business and returned. He had already heard about the Princess rewarding the soldiers, so when he saw the knights standing neatly in front of the main camp, holding copper coins in both hands as they admitted their guilt, he merely waved his hand.
“Enough! You are all people who have seen the world. Look at that group of cavalry next door. After they made contributions, even their money pouches were glittering with gold!”
“You did not render any merit, so of course others used scrap copper and rotten iron to send you away. But do not think about handing it over to me either, because I have pride, and I do not care for it!”
Red strode toward the tent. With his back to them, he raised his riding crop and scolded, “If you feel ashamed and wronged, then get the hell to training!”
Е̇ n̊üḿ ā
“Yes!”
The knights’ faces flushed red. They answered loudly, then turned and marched in formation into the training ground, throwing themselves into drills with all their might.
Seeing how fired up they all looked, Luna understood.
She had been misled by the two people’s positions. She should have followed Eileen to learn martial skill, and followed Red to learn government affairs!

Red... was a capable man.
Dragging Lisa along, Luna secretly entered the tent. Red was sitting in the upper seat in a bold, imposing posture, seriously reading the disaster-victim relocation report in his hands.

When he looked up, he saw two sneaky little fellows.
“Young Lady.” Red quickly stood, somewhat unable to figure out the situation. Could it be that the Young Lady had caused trouble in the military camp?
That was not right. In the military camp, the Young Lady had always known her limits. Besides, had she not been busy recently preparing to go on campaign and fight a noble war?
Luna pretended to be solemn. “Regiment Commander, there is something I need to trouble you with. You must not refuse.”
“Young Lady, please speak. I will certainly do my utmost.”
“It is like this.” Luna crooked her finger at Red, then whispered into his ear for a while.

Red nodded. This was not a difficult matter...
Inside the Ducal Estate, Oswald’s body modification surgery was about to begin.
The attending physician, Sister Janice, had already made thorough preparations, but the temporary nurse, Eileen, raised a crucial question.
That was: what kind of blade could cut open the Duke’s body?
Oswald, who was bare-chested and lying on a small bed, froze. Sister Janice, who had already made a small incision in the Duke’s back and felt as though she were shaving wood with a little knife, also froze.
Eileen held the surgical tray. “Sister, do you not find this very difficult?”
E n̊ u m̀ а
Sister Janice, whose forehead was covered in sweat from exhaustion: ...
This was only flesh and skin. Later, it seemed she would also have to cut open bone.

“Perhaps we need a chisel.” Sister Janice wiped her sweat with a towel and slowly exhaled. She had indeed underestimated the Duke’s physical strength. When she used the blade, there was no sensation of cutting flesh at all.
Blue veins bulged on Eileen’s forehead. Suppressing her anger, she said, “Would you like a saw or an axe? Should I simply go to a carpenter and bring you a hammer too?”
“Otherwise? Surgery requires these things. If my little axe were sharper, why would I need to use a knife to cut?”
Mr. Hua Tuo... your path was not lonely. It was Cao Cao who failed to recognize good work. You should have used a sharp axe to split open his skull and show him what a proper operation looked like.

Seeing that the two were still arguing tit for tat, Oswald, who was on the operating table, sighed helplessly.
“Enough, Eileen. Go find Old George. He has many good tools.”
“Yes. I will go now.”
Eileen accepted the order and quickly left the Ducal Estate. Before long, she arrived at Old George’s house.

She knocked on the door and happened to run into Old George as he was about to go out while holding two exquisite long blades.
Seeing who had come, Old George’s eyes wandered, and he grew visibly nervous. “What is it? I was not bought off. Those materials were all normal losses!”
Еn ù m̈ а̂ .і́ d̈
Eileen rubbed her brow and got straight to the point. “Do you have any useful cutting tools here? I need one urgently.”
“I do, I do. Please come in.”
Once he heard that she was not here to cause trouble for him, Old George naturally received her warmly. He quickly placed the two blades on the table, then turned and began rummaging through several large boxes for tools.
“Lady Eileen, what kind of hard object do you want to cut? Stone or iron?”
“Do you have a tool sharp enough to cut open the skeleton of a giant python?” Eileen walked to the side of the table. She was skilled with blades, and for a moment, she could not resist drawing that entirely black long blade.
The texture of the blade was somewhat strange. She gently stroked the blade, but the instant her fingernail touched the edge, it was cleanly severed.

What a sharp blade!
Eileen put down the long blade, deeply shocked.
“Then you have come to the right person.” Old George chuckled and took out a naturally formed obsidian knife from the innermost box.
“This knife is extremely brittle, but incomparably sharp. Please be careful when using it.”
“Please rest assured. After I finish using it, I will return it in its original condition.”
Eileen accepted the obsidian knife, solemnly thanked him, then hurried away.

Eh, you are not waiting for me? I am going to the Ducal Estate too. Old George shook his head with a bitter smile. What exactly was so urgent for this girl?
Back at the Ducal Estate, when Sister Janice accepted that obsidian knife, her fingers could not help trembling slightly.

What doctor would not want to own a good blade that could cut iron like mud? Yet such a precious treasure was in the hands of a carpenter...
After the tool was sterilized, the surgery immediately continued. This time, Sister Janice easily cut open Oswald’s flesh. Blood seeped out, and Eileen immediately stepped forward to wipe it away with cotton cloth.
Oswald, who was lying on the operating table, had a calm expression. A small wound like this was not enough to make it unbearable for him.
As she slowly spread open the incision, the hand with which Sister Janice held the knife suddenly paused in midair, and her eyes widened.

“Do not mind it.”
Oswald knew what Sister Janice had discovered. It was nothing more than the fact that his bones had become thicker and changed color.
Eileen glanced at it indifferently, then lowered her head and urged, “Continue.”
“Mm.”

Sister Janice used the blade to cut open that strong purple-black bone. This time, she clearly felt resistance coming from the knife.
No wonder when she had examined the Duke’s body several times, she had always felt that something was wrong. There was also that astonishing speed of bone healing.
Ẅ ё b̆ǹо v̆_е l̊_ Е̄n u̇m̊а̇
So the Duke’s body had already mutated...
After cutting a small hole in the center of the bone, which was roughly the size of her fist, Sister Janice used tweezers to remove the extremely ominous piece of bone that had been cut out, then took a deep breath.
“Duke, how do you feel?”
Oswald was sweating all over from the pain, but he did not move at all. His eyes were closed, his brows twisted tightly together. Adjusting his breathing, he said, “I am fine. Do what you need to do.”
Sister Janice nodded. She took out the magic stone, gently held it with tweezers, and slowly placed it into the small hole in his spine.
Layer after layer of magic circles appeared amid Sister Janice’s chanting, then engraved themselves onto the magic stone, pulsing with dazzling green light.

Magic particles began pouring into the magic stone inside Oswald’s body. Dense Mana surged out, climbing across Oswald’s entire body like strands of fine green thread, yet in the next breath, they instantly withered and dimmed.
The fine threads continued growing wildly. The bone began to heal slowly, and Sister Janice’s Holy Healing Magic also began entering Oswald’s body.
However, at that moment, Oswald only felt as if his entire body were being electrocuted. His nerves hurt as though they were being torn apart. His flesh was clearly not trembling, yet it shuddered in chaotic waves that could not be stopped, again and again, as though every cell had become active and mad.
Gradually, the small hole disappeared. Only the constantly surging green light still proved the magic stone’s existence.
“Duke, how do you feel now?” After suturing the wound and finally completing the surgery, Sister Janice let out a long breath, but she did not receive Oswald’s reply.
Beside her, Eileen gently wiped the sweat from Oswald’s face and said softly, “He fell asleep.”
