The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

As he spoke, the soldier on the left quickly turned around, pushed open the door, and strode into the Marquis of Einbert's room.

Actually, I also learned from Lilith that the Marquis of Einbert was a distant relative of the King, and the reason he was able to live in the castle was indeed because he had a certain relationship with King III.

So, no matter what, I try my best to offend him as little as possible. However, I have to be tough when necessary, because Lilith is my person after all!

The soldier returned shortly afterward.

"Please come in, Your Highness."

And so, I successfully arrived at Marquis Einbert's room with Louise and Lilith.

However, the Marquis of Einbert's house was truly filled with countless ornaments and treasures, and every piece of furniture looked extremely expensive, including rare wall decorations such as lion heads and deer heads.

"I am truly sorry for not welcoming you properly, Your Highness."

Suddenly, a middle-aged man, about 1.6 meters tall and dressed in demon-clan leather shoes, ran over with a lewd smile on his face and gave me a noble salute.

"Well then, Princess Louise, please wait outside. Princess Saintess and I will go to the living room for a brief chat and then come out."

"no problem."

"Alright, Your Highness, Lilith, please come in."

However, at that moment, he saw a murderous glint in Lilith's eyes, indicating that he truly loathed her.

And so I was ushered into the living room, where Lilith stood beside me, her body seemingly trembling unnaturally.

It's clear that Lilith was indeed somewhat frightened by that look in her eyes.

At this moment, the Marquis of Einbert had a servant bring me a cup of tea and placed it in front of me, then sat down on the white beechwood bench opposite me.

"Your Highness, I know why you've come. It's for your personal maid, Lilith, of course."

At this moment, the Marquis of Einbert still wore that wicked smile, his eyes narrowed into slits, as if he could see through everything.

"That's right, I did come here for Lilith."

Of course, I couldn't let him lead me by the nose, so I quickly calmed myself down, at least to overpower him in terms of presence.

The main reason is that I am still just a twelve-year-old child. In essence, I have already lowered my aura by a level, so I can't go any lower.

"Of course, Your Highness, I shouldn't force someone to marry me, but, Your Highness, Lilith has reached the age to get married, so I arranged this marriage for her. Therefore, please accept this bag of gold coins and hand Lilith over to me. Actually, making her a nobleman's wife will surely bring her eternal happiness."

As he spoke, Marquis Einbert pushed a bag of gold coins directly in front of me.

Indeed, this bag of gold is a lot, but will Lilith live happily ever after?

This is absolutely ridiculous...

If I were to hand Lilith over, I feel that Lilith would not only not be happy, but would also stop smiling altogether.

“I’m sorry, Marquis Einbert, please allow me to refuse.”

At that moment, a bright smile immediately appeared on my face.

"What...but..."

Upon seeing my refusal, the Marquis of Einbert's smile instantly froze.

"No buts. Lilith is my family (harem), and I will not back down."

I don't think we can deal with people like this by giving them a friendly look; it seems we have to resort to tough measures.

“Lilith is my daughter, and of course, I, as her father, should decide everything for her. Although she is your maid, she is still my daughter in the end!”

My refusal made him a little anxious, but Lilith had indeed been sold to a castle on the northern border. Human rights could only be liberated with my consent. As long as I held firm, even her father would not be able to get her back.

"Marquis Einbert, you still know that Lilith is your daughter, but do you know how hard she has lived alone (although I don't know about Lilith's previous life)? Think about how she was heavily in debt and was eventually sold to the castle. Who could she confide in about her suffering? As her father, what have you done for her?"

"I…………"

“If you had even the slightest regard for Lilith as your daughter, if you had even the smallest concern for her, Lilith wouldn’t have ended up like this. So, you think I’ll hand Lilith over to you? No way.”

"You, don't think that just because you're a Holy Princess I won't dare to do anything to you. You're just a twelve-year-old brat. If you want to fight me..."

Sure enough, he's been pushed to his limit by my words, but I have a trump card up my sleeve.

“I have Louise protecting me. If you dare to send soldiers to stop me, I will immediately have Louise raze your house to the ground. If it comes to that, neither of us will have a good outcome.”

At this moment, I elegantly crossed my legs and looked at the Marquis of Einbert with disdain, just like a queen, because I was the absolute winner in this "duel".

"Damn it, then you can leave now. Take Lilith and get out of here."

Because I was unyielding to both soft and hard tactics, the Marquis of Einbert had no choice but to let me go.

"Then I'll gladly accept your offer. Let's go, Lilith."

"Yes...Your Highness."

And so, I got up and left Marquis Einbert's room with Lilith without looking back.

However, Lilith also looked completely bewildered, because she had never seen me with such a regal air before.

"Holy Princess, you just wait! One day I will get my revenge for this insult!"

At this moment, the Marquis of Einbert waited until I was far away, and then shouted angrily.

However, he was like a mute eating bitter herbs, unable to express his suffering, and could only watch helplessly as I left his mansion with Lilith.

Chapter Nineteen: Using "Scientific" Methods to Study the Strengths of All Students

"Your Highness, is this really alright...?"

After Louise, Lilith, and I left Marquis Einbert's room, Lilith's tightly furrowed brows remained unchanged.

She probably thought that my attitude towards the Marquis of Einbert was indeed a bit too harsh, and that I was a young man who was afraid that he might do something that would be detrimental to me or myself.

"It's alright, I've got your back. No one can hurt you. Louise, that mercenary we recently recruited should be called Emma, ​​right?"

"Yes, Your Highness, she is currently staying in the room next to Lilith's."

"Very good. From today onwards, she is in charge of protecting Lilith's personal safety. If anything goes wrong, she will be held responsible!"

"No problem, Your Highness."

And so, the Lilith incident was basically over. I didn't believe that Marquis Einbert could do anything to me. Besides, Louise was always by my side, and the werewolf loli Xiaobai was beside me when I slept. Even if someone was very capable, they couldn't escape their eyes and ears. So my safety was 100%.

Now that this big matter was over, I hurriedly returned to my room and collapsed onto the sofa, completely limp.

Despite my previous tough demeanor, I was actually extremely nervous. It wasn't until the moment I left the room that I felt completely relieved.

However, as the master, I have thoroughly protected Lilith and prevented her from leaving me. It was all a happy ending for everyone.

Tomorrow marks the start of the second-year curriculum, and the students will be separated into different classes. All six red-robed nobles in the grade will be in the same class.

It is understood that this time the class has only twenty students, instead of the previous thirty.

In other words, these twenty students are the twenty strongest students in this year's class, including me, hehe~ (~▽~)~.

Coincidentally, on this same day, Allen Advanced Magic Academy also invited teachers and students from several other magic academies in the Allen Kingdom to visit the academy.

So, two days before the start of the semester, a ranking battle for the red-clad aristocrats among all the students in the school will begin, which will be a good opportunity to invite these VIPs to come and "watch".

Unfortunately, the other students will not be able to witness such a wonderful scene.

Therefore, I cannot know in advance who Elena and Lila's opponents are or what their strength is. So at most, I can only analyze the strength of all the red-clad nobles in the school.

Actually, this is a privilege enjoyed by our nobles, especially Princess Elena.

After resting on the bed for a while, I headed to a small room next to Elena's, intending to start researching the strength of the other three red-robed nobles and the seniors in our year.

If there were something as magical as a black and white camera in this world, would there also be... yes, a high-tech device like a projector that works like a videotape?

While it's not impossible, I'll still keep a bit of hope and see.

When I went into the room, sure enough, there was only a little light coming through, and I could only make out a few figures.

"It's so slow, I can't wait any longer."

That voice was unmistakably Lila's; it seemed she had indeed been waiting for a long time.

"Sorry, sorry, I had some personal matters to attend to, so I was a little delayed."

I had no choice but to apologize quickly, because I was indeed the one who was late... and the original plan was to rest for a while after dinner and then meet in this room.

"It's not too late, Lilith's matter has already been resolved, right?"

"Hmm...Hmm? How did you know?!"

However, I didn't tell anyone other than Louise how Elena knew.

"Well, I've always felt that Marquis Einbert was a bit suspicious, and sure enough, he's gone after Lilith."

I never expected that Elena, despite her young age, would be so shrewd; I have to admire her for it.

It seems she values ​​the people around her quite a bit.

"Alright, alright, anyway, everything's settled. Let's get back to the research. We have a theory class tomorrow morning and we're going to watch the competition in the afternoon, so we only have two days to research, today and tomorrow night. Besides, this year's freshmen include a red-haired girl in red, the student council president, the former student council president, and the vice president—four incredibly powerful individuals. If you want to rank in the top few, it'll be harder than climbing to heaven."

At that moment, Ms. Betty began her narration, but at the same instant, Elena and Lila immediately turned their attention to me.

"Eh……"

I was completely baffled too; why were they all looking at me?

"I hope Yvère will be the champion this time."
