The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

Therefore, tonight is the best time to go out.

Finally, after who knows how many hours of waiting, Yuzu signaled to us that our time was up.

"Let's go."

Yuzu had timed it perfectly; it was exactly midnight, and most of the Minotaur were already asleep.

Although there aren't as many guards now, the security at the entrance to the underground passage before us is much tighter than before.

Because they seemed to know that we came in from there.

And so, we packed our simple luggage and finally left the strangely smelly place where King Minotaur imprisoned prisoners.

Before leaving, I took out the magic staff that Bachrel had once created, which looked quite luxurious.

"Wow, Ivy, what kind of staff is that? It looks so cool!"

At this moment, Lila seemed to have never seen such a beautiful magic wand before, and her eyes blinked and widened in surprise.

"Lila, you can have this magic wand. Consider it a birthday present you've been hesitating about."

Since Lila, this blonde little girl, actually used such a miraculous medicine that could revive me from the brink of death, it proves that she truly loves me. Therefore, the pills she gave me are the best birthday gift she could give me. Of course, I should reciprocate with a gift of my own.

After all, we were born on the same day of the same month, and our relationship is actually quite special.

"Well... alright then, I'll accept it without being polite."

Lila didn't hesitate to gently extend her little hand and slowly place it on the magic wand in my hand.

Then I gently took it in my hand, and I felt so fond of it that I kept stroking it, as if I were caressing a precious treasure.

I've actually tested this magic wand, and it works flawlessly no matter how many times I cast spells on it.

It's amazing. It seems that Bahrell never intended to harm me. Otherwise, he would have definitely tampered with the magic staff and killed me without a burial place.

Once we stepped outside, we felt instantly reborn, breathing in fresh air.

Although there was still a slight smell of cow odor in the air, it was still the place where the Minotaur people lived.

However, it's a hundred times better than that place.

And so, we began our midnight adventure, moving slowly and carefully.

Since about a week has passed now, even if the security measures are strengthened, they will definitely weaken.

So the timing is really quite good.

Indeed, these Minotaur warriors were all standing there, half asleep, completely lacking any awareness of mental defense or danger.

So, as soon as it was discovered, Yuzu would immediately stab it in the back without saying a word, and then send all these sleeping Minotaur to the Western Paradise.

After killing about five more, we finally arrived at the previous entrance, which is the gate to the underground passage.

However, this time there were two Minotaur soldiers guarding the entrance to the passage. One of them was yawning, looking tired, while the other was still there with its big bull eyes, as if it was still on guard.

This is going to be difficult.

If there were only one, Yuzu could easily assassinate it, but now there are two Minotaur, which leaves us somewhat at a loss.

"What should we do, Ivy? If this continues, we won't be able to get out."

At this moment, Yuzu quickly leaned her head closer and whispered something to me.

"Uh……"

I never imagined that I would become the team captain.

Indeed, it was mostly Ruhr, the brother of Mi'er who was still sleeping in my arms, who offered the advice, while Bacharak was the one who charged into battle and scouted the traps. It's just a pity that both of them are no longer here...

"In that case, I'll give it a try."

At this moment, I put down the still unconscious Mi'er and took out an earring. Actually, it was the earring of King Minotaur, but somehow it appeared on the ground under my feet, so I picked it up.

Because this thing was made of gold, even the Minotaur would not have ignored it.

Since that's the case, I'll use this to lure them and see if they'll take the bait.

Then I aimed at the two Minotaur soldiers and threw the earring forcefully.

Then, a crisp metallic clanging sound was heard, which actually woke up the Minotaur soldier. Their eyes immediately turned to the golden earring.

"Huh? How come there are gold earrings here?"

At this moment, the Minotaur soldier on the left frowned and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Hmph, whatever, this thing is mine now, don't try to take it from me, okay!"

As he spoke, the Minotaur soldier on the right charged forward, intending to chase after the golden earring.

"Damn it, they actually wanted to eat it all by themselves?!"

However, to my utter surprise, not long after the Minotaur soldier on the right picked up the golden earring, they started arguing, and then began to fight.

Just then, a few of us took advantage of the opportunity to gently push open the door of the underground passage and escape.

And they climbed up the tall, long ladder and went upstairs.

However, just when we were feeling relieved that we could escape this horrible place soon, we discovered that countless flames and lights appeared not far away.

Chapter Twenty-Six: Yuzu, Willing to Stop the Enemy with Her Life

What's ahead?

At this moment, Lila couldn't help but squint her eyes and point to the light in the distance. Because it was too dark, she had no idea what the situation was like.

"Could it be that……"

In an instant, a sense of foreboding welled up within me, and indeed, this premonition was often very accurate; something bad was definitely about to happen.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Just then, a very arrogant laugh suddenly came from afar, as if it were mocking us... Why ours? Because the firelight had begun to approach us step by step.

"Hmm...it's the Minotaur army."

When we could see more clearly, we found that we were gradually surrounded by the Minotaur army, and if my estimate is correct, there were at least several hundred of them.

"I never expected that a bunch of scum could defeat our great king. It's really interesting, so very interesting."

At this moment, a Minotaur, whose size was similar to that of General Bazaar, slowly stepped forward and gave us great admiration.

However, this praise could very well cost us our lives.

"What do you want to do, Bikwer..."

Sure enough, Yuzu recognized the Minotaur.

"Bikvi... Could it be Bikvi, the lieutenant of the Minotaur's hidden stormtroopers?"

At this moment, Wenya couldn't help but cover her mouth, and said in surprise.

"Is that so... So, the lieutenant who killed Bacharak's parents was this guy."

At this moment, Mi'er in my arms seemed to have woken up. She had been asleep for about a week and could not eat, only drink water. She had become extremely thin. Coupled with the pressure of losing her loved ones and the exhaustion caused by using unusual special moves, she must be in great pain to move.

"However, I must also thank you. It is because of you that I have the opportunity to become the new king of the Minotaur. In this way, I will have the opportunity to conquer all of this and make everything in this world my own."

As he spoke, Lieutenant General Bikvi clenched his fist, a smile of excitement spreading across his face.

However, we can also see that even if I help it get rid of the Minotaur king, it is unlikely that it will let us go easily, because... we are indeed very likely to become its stumbling block, so we are doomed to die this time.

"In that case..."

I couldn't help but consider putting down the now-awakened Mia, whom I intended to hand over to my precious Lira, and then attempting to engage in a fierce battle with Bikvi, the Minotaur's lieutenant.

Just as I made that move, suddenly, Mi'er pulled out the two daggers from her waist and stood directly in front of us.

"Huh? Yuzu, what do you want to do?"

At this point, I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, because Yuzu was acting a bit strangely right now, and something about her seemed off to me.

"Grapefruit?"

At this moment, Mi'er couldn't help but glance at Youzi and asked with some confusion.

“Princess Honey, Sister Ivy, I’ll leave this to Yuzu.”

"What, I'm handing it over to you?"

When I heard that, I was stunned.

The enemy is an army of hundreds of Minotaur warriors! How can she possibly fight so many alone... unless...

"Believe me, my mission is to protect Princess Mier's life. So, I will handle this battle. As for this Lieutenant General Bikvi, I will kill him even if it costs me my life. After all, he destroyed our homeland, seriously injured Princess Mier's father, and killed Bacharak's parents. So, I will not let him live in this world no matter what."

"But what are you going to do?"

Mi'er's eyes widened in surprise, as if she was very reluctant to let her leave.

"It's alright, I have my own secret techniques..."

As she spoke, Yuzu began to slowly tear off the cloth that had been wrapped around her arm.

Although it was dark, with the help of the bright moon and the light of the torches around her, one could faintly see several rows of dense marks on her arm, which looked a bit like a curse mark.

"Yuzu, no! You can't release the power sealed within you... like that."
