The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

And so, we chatted as we went, completely disregarding the strict rules of the Kingdom of Edela that required silence while eating. In no time at all, we devoured the entire table of delicious food.

After we had all eaten our fill, we decided to get up and see what other arrangements my father, Emperor I, had made.

If not, then the rest of us will go back and take a shower first, and then go to our rooms to rest.

"Daughter, Elena, Lira, the three of you come with me for a moment. As for the rest, Otoha, you arrange the rooms."

However, at that moment, my father, Emperor I, suddenly spoke.

"Okay, Father."

Sure enough, my father had something he wanted to tell us.

And so, Lila, Elena, and I headed towards the reception room inside the castle, while the rest of us were assigned to guest rooms that were probably not far from my room.

Chapter Twelve: The Destruction of the Royal City of Edara

This reception room is very large, seemingly larger than several of the other reception rooms.

Furthermore, the decorations and valuable paintings here are far more numerous than those in the reception rooms.

Naturally, this cotton sofa is also super soft and super comfortable.

Although it can't compare to the sofa in old lady Lobert Baron's house, it's definitely the kind of sofa that makes you want to fall asleep if you lie on it.

At this moment, Elena and Lila did not sit directly on the sofa like I did; they stood there as if they were very nervous.

Honestly, they were both quite adorable when they were nervous.

"Don't be shy. I've called you here just to inform you of some things. There's no need for such a clear distinction between ruler and subject. Please sit down."

"Ok."

And so, Lila and Elena sat down on either side of me.

However, it's clear that the two of them are still very nervous, but they're a little better than before.

"Elena, you are the next princess of the Kingdom of Edela, aren't you?"

At this moment, my father, Emperor I, said something that seemed to have a deeper meaning.

"um, yes."

Elena nodded slightly in response.

"Ugh……"

For some reason, he suddenly sighed, looking somewhat helpless.

What could have happened to make him look like this? That's something I'm also a bit puzzled about.

"What's wrong, Father?"

I quickly asked him.

"Actually, nearly half of the Kingdom of Edela ceased to exist after an explosion a year ago."

As he spoke, my father, Emperor I, took out several black and white photographs and slowly pushed them toward us.

We quickly examined the photos as well.

When I saw the first photo, I was instantly stunned and somewhat pale.

Yes, this is indeed the Kingdom of Edla... and you can see that the original academy area and bustling city have been razed to the ground, and a deep crater has appeared within a radius of tens of kilometers.

Even the capital city of the Kingdom of Edla was almost entirely destroyed. The only places that survived were the royal library behind the surrounding castles and the military storehouse, which was where General Edsen was located.

"This can't be real... It's unlikely. I never imagined that just one strike, just one strike, would completely destroy everything..."

As Elena finished looking at the last photo, her hands trembled, and a tear rolled down her cheek.

Because this royal city of Adela is her home.

Elena's feelings must have been very complicated at this moment, because no one expected that in just one instant, everything would be destroyed, which was unacceptable to anyone.

If that's the case, then the lock-on glasses that I've been keeping must be of great use.

I quickly took out the Heart Lock Glasses from my familiar magic bracelet.

Elena instinctively took it and put it on her glasses.

Gradually, her tears and trembling hands stopped, and the somewhat sentimental expression on her face instantly turned into a blank expression.

"It's alright now, let's continue."

At this moment, Elena calmly said...

"Wow, there are such amazing gadgets..."

My father, Emperor I, was quite surprised when he saw these lock-heart glasses.

Perhaps it was because it was the first time he had ever seen a tool that could seal off a person's emotions so quickly... It was actually a magical artifact.

After that, my father, Emperor I, told the three of us everything.

In the wake of that catastrophic explosion, there was virtually no sign of human survival.

Only those outside the blast radius were spared from death.

However, the most amazing thing is that after the explosion, the remaining troops in the royal city searched the area, and even more amazingly, there were no corpses in the epicenter of the explosion, which was the Adela Royal Academy. In other places, the survival rate was less than 10%...

Furthermore, it remains unknown who was responsible for this catastrophic explosion or what caused it.

Therefore, this has become a problem that has remained unsolved for a long time.

"All of this was done by the Black Dragon God. He not only destroyed the city of Kloster, killing everyone in it, but also attacked the academy in the royal city of Edela, kidnapped Roy, and unleashed a bombardment of primordial magic..."

After listening to what my father, Emperor Yi, had to say, I quickly replied.

"Oh? So you mean, daughter, you were at the academy back then?"

Upon hearing this, he immediately grasped the key point and asked a question in return.

“That’s right… Not only Ivy, but I, Elena, am also at the academy.”

Before I could even speak, Lila interrupted and started talking.

"It seems you must have been fighting the Black Dragon God... But why are you all unharmed..."

Seeing how lifelike we are, anyone would be quite surprised to find out.

Because, to put it simply, Wang Cheng's current state of devastation is likely far worse than what is shown in the photo; it could be even more horrific.

"Perhaps my mother, the goddess Shitonai, protected us. In any case, my mother would never have wanted me to die so quickly... That's why she moved us all to a very far place at the moment of the explosion. However, I was also injured."

I quickly told my father, Emperor Yi, a little lie, saying that I thought it was possible.

However... in reality, it wasn't my mother, the goddess Shido, who did all of this, but rather the goddess Herelia who has always protected me.

If I were to reveal the goddess's name, it would surely shock and disbelieve my father even more.

So let me make an assumption.

"I see. That's really possible. After all, your mother has always loved you very much."

At this moment, my father, Emperor I, gave a bitter smile.

"Alright, it's getting late. You all should go wash up and get some rest."

It's clear that my father, Emperor Yi, was already at ease as long as I was safe and sound.

"I understand. Then we will take our leave, Father."

So we got up, bowed respectfully to my father, Emperor I, and then left with Lila and Elena.

Honestly, even though Elena was wearing the lock-on glasses, I could tell she was in a really bad mood.

When the time comes, it will be my turn to comfort her properly. Yes, right, in bed, hehehehe.

However, now that I am the eldest princess here, my harem members should be able to live peacefully in the castle.

It's actually really quite good.

It seems my life as a fallen princess has finally come to an end.

Chapter Thirteen: The Demon King's Army Has Begun Its Operation

Honestly, ever since I became the legitimate eldest princess of the Beginning Kingdom, I feel like I've become quite decadent.

Although I occasionally comforted Elena, because, to be honest... her father and her personal maid, Betty, were both nowhere to be found. Sigh, if it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to stay calm either.

If I hadn't given her those heart-locking glasses, perhaps Elena would have cried anxiously.

I didn't want Elena to cry... so I reluctantly gave her the Lock Heart Glasses, and then tried to persuade her...

At least, the fact that no bodies or belongings were found proves that they might still be alive.

Ugh, this is such a hassle. I'm not good at comforting people to begin with, and now I have to rack my brains to comfort them.

This is really difficult for me.

However, this is something I, as the head of the harem, should do. Sigh... If I don't do it, then who will?

All I do all day is take walks and eat delicious food that I rarely get to try = = I'm so bored.
