The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

It seems the dwarf duke's daughter's dance has come to a perfect end.

Time was running out for me, and if I didn't hurry, William's daughter Barbiefen might really end up being sold off...

This is absolutely impossible.

However, just as my mind was in a mess, lost in thought, I suddenly heard a click from a room in the distance, and then a head started looking out to the left and then back again.

After confirming that no one was around, a foot in a black knee-high boot stepped out of the room.

Then, a woman dressed in all black, like a phantom thief, quietly emerged from the room at the end of the room.

Chapter Ninety-Eight: An Unexpected Encounter with the Phantom Thief

Ha, I've heard of Kaito Kid and a certain holy maiden thief in anime before, but I didn't expect there to be magical female thieves here.

However, she didn't seem like someone who had only stolen once or twice. She was quite cautious in her surroundings and her observations were very precise.

If someone had actually passed by just now, she would have immediately shrunk her head and hidden away without a word, leaving no trace.

It's clear she's a habitual thief.

As she walked out, a metal chain could be seen wrapped around her wrist, with a large sapphire emitting a faint glow on it.

My goodness, this sapphire is huge, it's even bigger than my fist!

If it were to actually sell, how much money could it fetch...?

Let alone this lifetime, even ten lifetimes wouldn't be enough to live off one's savings.

Seeing that the surroundings were indeed quite safe, the female thief walked straight towards me.

However, current technology is very backward. If there were alarms or traps, perhaps this phantom thief wouldn't have been able to get her hands on this item so easily.

And she did seem to get her hands on it very easily, which suggests that the place where the treasure was hidden had very few security measures and guards.

It seems that the dwarf duke thought his treasure storage was foolproof, but someone took advantage of the situation and stole what should have been the most valuable item inside.

Since we share the same goal, I might as well try to get her to help me find Barbiefen, the daughter of my lover, the coachman William.

Hehehe, I'm so clever.

And so, I slowly walked out through the crack in the wall.

Just then, I was about to go up to her and talk to her when she suddenly produced a small dagger from somewhere and charged straight at me.

"Alas……"

Although I was startled, I didn't dare to shout.

Because if she yells, it will not only ruin her plans, but also mine.

Therefore, even in battle, one must be careful to move quietly, lest one alert the people at the banquet. If one is captured, one might face execution...

However, with my agile build, there was no way I could be hit by her attacks.

Sure enough, this phantom thief was trained; her attacks were incredibly swift and decisive, truly swift, accurate, and ruthless.

Of course, every knife can be deadly.

If I hadn't been trained, haha, I think I would have died on the spot just now.

Looks like I'm pretty agile.

When she saw that her attack had missed me, she instantly lost her composure, and her attacks became somewhat chaotic.

That's right, she knew that my close combat skills were far superior to hers, and that she definitely couldn't win in a head-on fight. But if she didn't fight, she was afraid that I would snatch the huge sapphire from her hand.

Therefore, she had to find a way to attack me, otherwise she would fall into my hands and then she might be in tears and never be able to make a comeback.

At that moment, I sparred with her bare hands, and indeed, she was very strong.

But if I were serious, she definitely wouldn't last ten seconds. However, I don't want to hurt her; I want to cooperate with her.

Otherwise, I would definitely knock her out with one punch.

I just kept dodging and didn't attack for half a minute.

Perhaps we made some noise during our attack, which is why it sounded like a door was opening nearby.

"Hmm? Is anyone there?"

At that moment, a young man's voice suddenly reached my ears, indicating that soldiers had indeed noticed.

Of course, we were in perfect unison, and without saying a word, we immediately retreated and hid in two corners.

Because of the dim lighting and the fact that we were both dressed in dark colors, the soldier didn't notice us even as he walked over.

Then the soldier scratched his head, thinking he must be imagining things.

Then he went back to the room next to the main entrance and closed the door.

Now that the crisis was over, naturally I couldn't let her go. Just as she emerged from the gap, intending to escape...

Without saying a word, I grabbed her slender arm and used a grappling technique to pin her to the ground.

"Uh... what exactly do you want?"

Perhaps she realized that I wasn't the kind of person who wanted to arrest her, which is why she lowered her voice and asked me anxiously.

"Um...excuse me, miss, could you do me a favor?"

Honestly, since we're asking for a favor and have even captured the person, we should naturally be more polite.

"What help are you offering?"

But her voice is quite nice.

"Um, take me to the location of the treasure vault..."

If, as the dwarf gang leader said, William's daughter Barbiefen is here, then that proves he wasn't lying.

If he's really lying, hmph, I'll definitely hang him up and make him suffer a hundred times more.

"Uh... do you also want to steal some treasure?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Indeed, my darling is actually William's daughter, Barbiefen.

Indeed, her daughter was dressed quite adorably by William; she was petite, with a brown curly ponytail, and dressed in aristocratic attire.

It certainly caught my eye.

However, she was rather pitiful, having been captured and sold as a valuable commodity, which made me feel somewhat guilty.

"Okay, fine, let me go, I'll take you there."

It seems she has no qualms about me. Perhaps she's afraid I'll take the sapphire from her or break her arm, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed so easily.

"Then you'd better lead the way properly, otherwise, I'll use a little force..."

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Okay, I swear to God, I'll definitely get you to your destination."

She suppressed her voice, enduring the pain to the best of her ability.

It's true, her bones are quite brittle; if that's the case, I could have broken them if I had used a little more force...

Sure enough, my strength is now somewhat frightening.

"Ok."

And just like that, I let her go.

He quickly got up from the ground and began to move his left arm, which I had grabbed.

"Okay...you can do it."

When the activity was almost over, the female thief gave me a displeased look and then led me to the door she had just left through.

When I pushed open the door, I found that it was actually no different from an ordinary room.

Did she deliberately lead me to the wrong place?

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Establishing a Cooperative Relationship

In an instant, I looked at this phantom thief with suspicion.

Seriously, if she dares to deceive me, ha, this princess's temper is not so easy to mess with. I will definitely ravage your rather round breasts to vent my anger.

"Uh... don't look at me like that. Actually, there's a secret door here. I spent several months investigating before I found it."

At this moment, she slowly walked forward.

However, I was stunned when I heard her say that she had been investigating for several months.

I never expected her to be so persistent, to investigate for so long...

Although she doesn't have the skills and keen eyesight of a real phantom thief, she has such strong perseverance.

He is indeed a very good and rare talent.

And judging from her figure, she must be human.

Otherwise, how could the dwarves grow so tall?
