The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

That's wonderful! They actually accepted Xiaobai.

"Speaking of which, were you the one who injured those people from the Simon family?"

"Eh……?"

Hearing this, my heart, which had finally calmed down, suddenly skipped a beat again.

Because in this battle, I not only genuinely injured that group of people, but I also killed one of them...

But in this other world, I wonder if children who commit murder also have to pay with their lives, or go to jail or something...

Since that's the case... then we can only try to lie, at least to conceal the fact that it has already happened.

The main problem is that there are no high-tech devices like cameras in the world, so they can't record everything I do.

After thinking about it, I felt a little more at ease...

Chapter Twenty-Three: A blind cat stumbles upon a dead mouse; a stroke of luck.

"According to the intelligence obtained by the scouts inside the castle, it was caused by someone casting a particularly powerful high-level fire magic spell."

"Ah...is that so..."

Hearing this, and seeing Otto's completely calm expression, I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine...

"Furthermore, even the most skilled magic experts in our border country haven't been able to figure out exactly what this high-level fire magic is... Also, apart from you, daughter, there's practically no one else around here..."

Just then, Otto suddenly looked over with very sharp eyes.

This instantly sent a chill down my spine, because it clearly indicated that I was the one who cast this high-level fire magic.

Hehe... Actually, it was actually released by this princess.

"Daughter, I remember you could cast very powerful fire magic when you were six years old, could it be...?"

"That father!"

Suddenly, I subconsciously interrupted Alto.

What is the current situation on site?

More than that, I'm worried about whether that terrifying Inferno Burst actually killed all of them.

If those people were really all killed... wouldn't I be burdened with too much sin?

"Hmm... The scene was quite horrific. One person was reduced to a pile of ashes. If it weren't for the calm weather that day, we might not have even realized that it was a human being... The other five people suffered very serious injuries from the explosion. It's clear that they won't be able to get out of bed for at least ten years."

As expected... this high-level magic, Infernal Burst, is truly a powerful move that cannot be used lightly.

I have a feeling that if it were used, it could really kill someone.

The death of that self-proclaimed level-five mercenary mage is the best example.

But how am I supposed to explain this now? If I say it was a high-level spell I cast, no one will believe that a child like me could do it. They'll just make me cast it again.

But the price of using it is to consume one's own lifespan!

Wait... how much of my lifespan will this high-level spell consume?

I immediately closed my eyes and then began to check the lifespan consumption time of this high-level magic, Inferno Burst, within the forbidden magic laws in my mind.

Suddenly, I saw it... what was consumed was fifteen days!

Wow, it takes fifteen days to cast a high-level spell?!

That's half a month gone in an instant!

Screw you, are you trying to get me to hurry up and die?

It seems that high-level magic should absolutely not be used unless in a critical situation, because if I get used to using magic that follows forbidden laws, wouldn't I really be close to death?

Just then, it suddenly occurred to me that there was a paladin in magnificent armor next to that black-haired girl.

And that paladin must be someone who knows high-level magic...

How about... framing them again?

"It was probably the paladin next to Roy who did it... I was kicked unconscious by a mercenary on the spot, and I can't remember what happened after that."

If that's the explanation, it's absolutely perfect.

As expected of me!

"Luo Yi?"

Upon hearing the name, Otto suddenly paused, then his brows furrowed.

"What's wrong, Father?"

Seeing Otto's puzzled expression, my heart started pounding like a deer's.

Could it be that they've been exposed?

Could it be that the paladin doesn't know magic?

That really panicked me...

If I come back and that paladin really doesn't know magic, then my terrible lie will be exposed on the spot, which would be incredibly embarrassing.

However, I absolutely cannot reveal myself, because... who knows what kind of trouble might follow.

"I see. If what that person said is true, then it is indeed possible."

Upon hearing what I said, I saw a smile instantly appear on Otto's face.

It seems I was right; that paladin was indeed a big shot, and he definitely knew high-level magic.

It was truly a case of blind cat catching a dead mouse; I just happened to be lucky.

"That matter is over, but it seems that you have caught the eye of this lord. Look, he has even sent you an invitation to the magic academy in the royal city."

"Huh? An invitation from the Royal City Magic Academy?"

What kind of place is this? Could this be the supposedly proper magic academy where people learn magic?

That means I can meet more pretty girls, right?

Then I can capture a few more young ladies to expand my harem?

That would be wonderful!

"However, you will not be old enough to start school until after your twelfth birthday."

"Oh, my twelfth birthday is over..."

Me... Damn it, after my twelfth birthday I'll be a fallen princess... It'll be so embarrassing to go back to school then...

At least let me go when I'm eleven, that way I might be able to escape becoming a fallen princess.

"By the way, Father... could I go to the academy a little earlier?"

Honestly, if I could, I'd love to start my life at the academy right now.

And you can ask for more pocket money and live a happy life every day. Wouldn't that be very leisurely and carefree?

"No... because you see it."

As he spoke, Otto opened the invitation letter right in front of me. There was a line of magical text on the invitation letter, and above the magical text, my birthday was two days later, and there was also a countdown to enrollment.

"Huh? What the hell is this thing...?"

Seeing that such unheard-of magic could be used in this world, I couldn't help but be quite surprised.

Because of this kind of magic, I've never even heard of it, nor have I ever seen it in any of the books and anthologies I've read in the past three years, not even in the novels in the library...

It's clear that there are still so many mysteries in this world that we can learn and explore.

"Alright, my dear daughter, your father and I won't disturb your rest any longer, Lilith. We'll leave the rest to you now."

As he spoke, Belissa, who had been squatting on the ground, was gently helped up by Otto.

"um, yes."

As she spoke, Lilith stepped forward and bowed deeply to them.

"Yes, Father and Mother, may you be well."

Since I couldn't get up, I could only ask for permission to leave from the bed.

But seeing the faint smiles on their faces, the huge weight in my heart finally sank to the bottom, and I could finally breathe a sigh of relief...

Because the lie we just told was really too risky!

"Your Highness, may we begin?"

"Well, that's up to you."

I never expected Lilith to possess healing magic; that really surprised me.

At this moment, Lilith stretched out both of her palms and aimed them at my abdomen.

"cure!"

Immediately afterwards, a beam of light appeared from her palm, followed by a warm and gentle sensation that spread from my excruciatingly painful abdomen throughout my entire body.

Soon, my pain lessened by more than half, and the swollen wound, which was as big as a small mountain, seemed to shrink a bit.
