The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

In short, I just hope you're safe and sound, and I promise I'll never let you leave me again next time.

Chapter Nine: Discovering the Manipulation of Lira

But you have to admit, the Minotaur's defenses were incredibly strong.

Basically, in most important locations of tribal nests, there is one guarding the place.

However, they were all enormous, and it was the middle of the night, so almost all of them were fast asleep.

Furthermore, their snoring is usually quite loud, so as long as you don't make any particularly loud noises, you won't wake them up at all.

Even with the Minotaur patrolling late at night, we still have the cute and incredibly powerful Yuzu.

If she makes a move, the unsuspecting Minotaur will be easily assassinated.

Honestly, the Minotaur didn't even have a chance to struggle before it died. This shows that Yuzu's assassination attempt was terrifyingly ruthless.

Although we are friends now, I don't want to become her enemy in the future, because even if I had more lives, I couldn't withstand such powerful and terrifying methods.

However, the Minotaur were very clever, but their only problem was that they were too scattered.

Indeed, a single enemy can be alerted and immediately rush together to start fighting. However, when faced with an enemy like us who has the ability to assassinate quickly, their fatal weakness is exposed.

Therefore, Yuzu killed two Minotaur who were still patrolling along the way, and also killed a Minotaur that had just fallen asleep and was still a potential threat.

Soon, we arrived at a wooden door that was several times more luxurious than the one at the entrance of the cave, with two wooden totems of minotaur statues holding two axes on either side.

"This must be where King Minotaur imprisoned the more important prisoners. The minotaur statue holding two axes symbolizes a more noble prisoner."

At this moment, Ruhr, who hadn't said much until now, responded directly.

"I see."

As I spoke, I tiptoed and pressed my ear against the ornate wooden door again, then closed my eyes to listen carefully, wondering if there was some Minotaur guarding the back of the door.

This time, I'm certain that the luxurious wooden door doesn't have the Minotaur there, because I can't sense the slightest trace of his presence.

However, the wooden door was locked with an iron lock.

"Leave it to me."

At this moment, Yuzu stepped forward, removed the hair clip from her head, and inserted it into the lock's keyhole.

"Hey, Yuzu, you can pick locks too."

Actually, the Night Elves don't really have any locks, and their lock-picking skills are quite difficult, which surprised me a bit.

"Yes, because I want to go on adventures in other places in the future, so I thought I might be able to use the lock-picking skill, which is why I learned it. I didn't expect to use it so soon."

As Yuzu spoke, she said with a hint of pride.

About a minute later, there was a "click" sound, and the lock was opened.

"Okay, let's go in."

As she spoke, Yuzu gently pushed the wooden door, and it opened easily.

After entering through the wooden door, the room was very dark because there were no lights.

Furthermore, the road was narrow; someone like me could only pass by one and a half times at most, while someone like the Minotaur could only pass by sideways.

Because they are simply too large.

Honestly, I really don't understand why these things are designed this way; it's really too strange.

And so, we darted through the narrow passage and arrived directly at the place where the supposedly important prisoners were held.

At this moment, the room was like a place where heroic spirits could be summoned, with very dim lighting.

If I could, I would lie down in this dimly lit environment and fall asleep in less than ten minutes.

Plus the smell inside...

Oh dear, this smell doesn't smell like that; I'm very familiar with it.

As I walked a little further in, I discovered a large golden head. The wavy golden hair was tied into countless small braids, and the person was wearing a very beautiful white dress and sitting on a wooden chair at the end of the room.

"Lila?"

At this moment, I gently called out Lila's name, because from her scent and figure, it was clear that she was my precious Lila.

However, Lila did not react at all; instead, she seemed to have fallen asleep in the chair.

"Lila, are you asleep?"

At this moment, I walked over slowly with some doubt, because logically speaking, if I came, she should wake up immediately even if she was asleep.

Oh dear, this lazy little cat! If you're so unguarded, you might have some ulterior motives when I come to your side.

At this moment, an evil smile involuntarily appeared on my face, because I hadn't teased and pampered my adorable little darling for a long time, which made me feel very uncomfortable all over, and my hands were also particularly itchy.

"My darling, Lira."

As I spoke, I came up behind Lila and, without saying a word, hugged her petite and fragrant body tightly from behind.

"Your Highness Ivy, I have a feeling that something is not quite right."

At this moment, Yuzu realized something and shouted directly at me.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, Lila's body seemed to move abruptly, followed by a flash of silver light. Lila stood up and swung the weapon directly at me.

"Oh my god..." This startled me instantly. I quickly released Lila's cute and petite body and gently pushed her away.

Her attack was too fast, and I wasn't on guard, but my reaction time was good enough that I immediately used my arm to block it.

Unfortunately, the dagger in her hand sliced ​​through my thick clothes and cut my arm.

"Ugh, that hurts."

I couldn't help but shudder, because Lila had gone too far.

If I hadn't instinctively dodged, the knife might have slashed my chest... causing a wound that would be difficult to heal.

Soon, my bright red blood began to slowly ooze from the cut, staining my thick clothes.

"Your Highness, Holy Maiden of God".

"Your Highness Ivy."

When they saw that I was injured, they all rushed over and were ready to fight.

"Wait!"

Seriously, I don't want my precious darling to get beaten up. After all, she's the most important person to me (in my harem). If she's killed by them like this, what's the point of me being here?

"But……"

"It's alright, leave the rest to me."

At that moment, I covered my throbbing wound and stared intently into Lila's eyes.

Sure enough, her eyes were bloodshot and emitted a faint red glow; it was clear that she was being controlled by something…

Chapter Ten: Clumsy Lila is Poisoned!

Damn it, who on earth is controlling my lovely darling Lila? I'm so angry I'm grinding my teeth.

Fortunately, although Lila ran much faster than before, her arms were not as strong as mine, and her body was not as agile. Otherwise, she might have really killed me.

At this moment, Lila held a dagger stained with my blood in her hand, and then slightly bent her slender waist, preparing to attack me again.

However, my martial arts and swordsmanship skills weren't learned in vain.

That clumsy Lila dares to try and fight me at close range? She's just asking for trouble.

Without saying a word, Lila raised the dagger in her small hand and slashed at me.

Unfortunately, her movements were quite simple and a bit clumsy, but still, she's my darling Lila, hehe.

Since that's the case, I can't possibly hurt her, let alone injure her.

To be honest, I couldn't bear to do it.

Just like that, I spotted her attack, and then very quickly turned around and sat behind her, raised my arm, made a chopstick shape with my hand, and then struck her neck with speed and precision.

In an instant, Lila fell down like a kite with a broken string, landing directly in my arms.

"I never expected Princess Ivy's fighting skills to be so amazing."

At this moment, Yuzu and the other five night elves quickly ran up to me, saying with great joy.

"It seems that something has controlled his nerves, which is why he is attacking people."

At this moment, Wenya stretched out her hand and placed it on Lila's shoulder, then took off something that was invisible and held it in her hand.

"What is this, Wenya? I can't see anything."

At this moment, Mi'er quickly asked.

"This is a kind of Gu technique that ordinary people cannot see. It attaches to a person's body and cannot be seen in a normal way. Basically, it feeds and then slowly grows from the inside out."

"Uh... well."
