Chapter 149: Eyes of a Dragon and the Human Heart (13)

༺ Eyes of a Dragon and the Human Heart (13) ༻

The Golden Lion Protecting the North, Delphine Yurdina.

She was the legitimate heir to one of the empire’s five prestigious families, the Yurdina March, a powerhouse in the North.

Since the Empire was founded, this family had a glorious history of fending off the foreign tribes from the North.

Not only did they oversee the border regions which often had conflicts with foreign tribes, they’d also shown unwavering loyalty to the Imperial Family for ages.

Taking this into consideration, the Imperial Family raised the limit of the number of private soldiers the Yurdina Household could have. Thus, they had a staggering amount of 10,000 private soldiers.

Furthermore, owing to their military lineage, many from the Yurdina Household held key positions in the Central Army.

If the Alpenhauser Household represented the empire’s economic power, then Yurdina was the undeniable symbol of military might.

The Yurdinas, who were responsible for commanding an army of thousands to tens of thousands, were notoriously strict in their family’s education.

They bore the weight of countless lives. From a young age, they had to dedicate themselves to rigorous training and be proficient in tactics and strategy.

Naturally, Senior Delphine, being the only heir to the Yurdina Household, had to undergo such harsh education since her childhood.

Thanks to that, she was not only well-versed in swordsmanship but also in various subjects that included the history of the empire and the study of war. Her confident and proud demeanor captivated many of the academy’s talents.

Thus, she earned the honorable title of ‘Golden Lion’.

The Yurdina Household, protectors of the North, had a lion as their symbol. And Senior Delphine with her radiant golden hair, stunning beauty, and innate charm combined, earned the nickname of such a fierce beast.

It also signified the world recognized her as the heir to the Yurdina Household.

She was truly an iron woman. From the family’s private soldiers to several troops in the central army, she proved she got what it takes to be a top-tier military leader, commanding tens of thousands.

And now, that very Delphine Yurdina was humbly bowing her head before me.

With an expression that conveyed genuine pleasure, no less.

My head was spinning. I couldn’t figure out where it all went wrong.

What would happen if the members of the Yurdina Household stumbled upon this?
