The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

"This thing is worth at least thirty gold coins. Where did you get this magic stone from?"

In an instant, Bachler got straight to the point.

"I found it at the market in the west. Hey, do you know anyone who can make magic wands? If possible, I'd like to have one made."

Actually, Lila has never had her own magic wand. It just so happens that I'll give it to her on her 14th birthday. Wouldn't that increase her affection for me even more? Maybe she might even give herself to me directly, hehehe.

"I can do it myself without anyone else."

"But aren't you quite busy?"

I couldn't help but widen my eyes. I never expected that he, as the chief mage mentor, would actually forge a magic wand for me. This really made me feel flattered.

"It's alright, Your Highness. You can come to me to pick it up in a week."

"Oh, thank you so much."

After saying that, he took my blue magic stone, which looked like a glass ball, and left.

Just as he and I formed a straight line and were about to pass each other, he suddenly stopped.

"Your Highness, you really pique my interest."

With that, he turned and strode forward without looking back.

But in that instant, I seemed to see a wicked smile creep onto his lips…

Uh, no way... could this guy be...?

Forget it, I won't think about it anymore, because if I think too badly of people, my situation might not be so good later on.

After all, he's a powerful and influential person in the Kingdom of Ella, and he's even willing to help me make a magic wand. If I did that, I'd be too wicked.

So, let's stop here.

Just as a burden was lifted from my heart, I found myself back at the door of my room.

At that moment, I suddenly remembered something important.

I was supposed to be practicing swordsmanship... how did I end up back at the room door again?! [○?｀Д?? ○]

Honestly, she's so young and already so forgetful...

I don't know what to do when I grow up.

So, without saying a word, I ran straight towards the guest room on the first floor where Louise was.

However, when I arrived at the place, I found that Louise was not there.

Strange, where did Louise go? (〃＞皿＜)！

Just then, I seemed to hear the sound of weapons clashing violently in the distance.

Chapter Nine: The Soldier Training Grounds Heading to the Royal City

Accompanied by the countless clanging sounds of metal weapons clashing, I passed through the back garden of the castle's back gate and finally arrived at what must have been the deepest part of the castle.

At this moment, two soldiers, dressed in heavy armor just like the previous General Edson, stood guard at the entrance gate, each holding a seemingly sharp spear.

When I was about to go over, the two of them seemed unaware of my identity, and they set up their two spears in an X shape, blocking my way.

"Uh……"

"This is General Edson's soldiers' training ground. No one is allowed to enter without the orders of the King and General Edson!"

At that moment, the heavily armored soldier on my left spoke directly to me in a powerful voice.

"This is a soldiers' training ground."

At this moment, the sounds of weapons clashing in the soldiers' training ground were getting louder and louder, the speed of the swings was getting faster and faster, and explosions could be heard from time to time.

Is this really a martial arts exchange...? This is making me more and more interested.

"Yes, so little sister, please go back now."

"But……"

I have a feeling that Louise is inside. What should I do?

"Let her in."

At that moment, a young man in heavy armor with patterns walked over and stopped the two soldiers who were blocking my way.

"But...but."

"This young lady must be Louise's mistress, Ivy, who is also His Majesty the King's chosen Holy Princess."

As he spoke, the young man in patterned heavy armor placed his hands near his shoulders and then bowed slightly to me.

"What? It's actually Princess Saintess? She's so young!"

"Yes, that's why you're being so rude."

"I'm sorry, Your Highness!"

As he spoke, the two heavily armored soldiers, disregarding the weight of their armor, bowed and apologized to me.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask, is Louise inside?"

“That’s right, Louise is currently sparring with the General. Your Highness, why don’t you come in and watch?”

And so, I finally entered the training ground inside the castle of the Kingdom of Allen.

And I was right, it really was Louise.

Actually, Louise's strength is more than a hundred or eighty times greater than mine. Perhaps she held back during practice so as not to hurt me.

Otherwise, I think it's very likely she'll cripple me...

When I went into the training grounds inside the castle, I was truly amazed.

Because this place... is just too big.

It's surprising that King III would allocate such a large area of ​​land to be used as a training ground; it's clear that this king values ​​his soldiers highly.

"My name is Lance Oberent, and I am the deputy commander of the heavy armored army of the Royal City of Allen. Nice to meet you."

"Ah, I am Ivy..."

"I know about the little princess of Kloster City."

"Eh?"

I was completely baffled. I had never met this Vice Admiral Lance before, so how did she know my identity?

"Because I am Louise's cousin."

"What?!!!"

I was so startled that I almost fell to the ground. After a while, I observed her more closely and found that she really had a lot in common with me. For example, the color of her hair was basically the same, all of them were dark red.

Moreover, they are all people who like to wear heavy armor...

"I never imagined Louise would change so much. Before she was sent from Allen City to Kross City, she was just a reckless girl who charged ahead without thinking. Her brothers were always easily defeated by her and never obeyed orders. Unfortunately, only your father, Lord Otto, thought highly of her. So, General Clausen entrusted her to Lord Otto as his subordinate. When the northern border was razed to the ground in an instant, her family members were heartbroken..."

Indeed, if Louise hadn't been there to escort me out of the city, she might not be alive today.

"So, I still want to thank you, Princess Ivy, for keeping Louise safe and correcting her volatile temper."

As he spoke, Louise's cousin, Lieutenant General Lance, bowed to me again.

"It's nothing. Actually, Louise has done a lot of wrong things before, and of course I criticized and punished her severely. That's probably why she became more understanding."

"I see. It seems Princess Ivy is quite remarkable."

At this moment, Louise and General Clausen were locked in a fierce standoff, and terrifying red sword energy emanated from their blades. It was clear that this was the highest level of swordsmanship: the aura of the sword.

Although I don't know much about sword energy, the fact that this person can use sword energy attacks that can hurt people shows that they have reached the top level among human warriors.

Anyway, I can't use it. At most, I can use the Flame Annihilation Blade along with sword skills.

Wait... If Louise or General Clausen could teach me, perhaps on the day disaster strikes in the future, when fighting an enemy I can't defeat, I won't lose too badly, and I might even be able to fight to a draw.

Yes, that goddess Nana said that there are opponents she absolutely cannot beat, but she didn't say that she can't even manage a draw.

Let's keep watching and see if we can learn any tips from it.

At this point, Louise was not in a good position. Perhaps it was because General Clausen's attacks were too fierce or too powerful, but Louise almost took a direct hit several times.

Fortunately, Louise is now much more agile than before, and managed to dodge at the last second.

However, General Clausen's attacks only intensified, and it seemed only a matter of time before Louise was hit.

The outcome is basically decided...

However, at that moment, as expected, Louise's mental strength faltered. General Clausen suddenly executed a magnificent upward slash, instantly knocking the knight's sword from her hand and causing it to fall outside the fence of the dueling area.

"Hahaha, Louise, you still can't do it after all!!!"

At this moment, General Clausen threw his wooden sword to the ground, crossed his arms, and began to laugh arrogantly and without restraint.

"Heh... Uncle, you're still as strong as ever."

Louise was so exhausted that she sat down on the ground.

"However, you are strong enough now. In fact, after I step down, I even want you to inherit the title of Grand General Protector of the Nation, hahahahahaha!"
