The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

I want to see my mother, even if we are far apart, just to have a short reunion. That would be a great happiness.

At that moment, my tears slowly subsided because... I was genuinely amused by the two of them.

Honestly, I suddenly don't regret being born into this world at all.

Because, in any case, I have a loving father and mother, and an adorable harem, so I'm actually quite happy.

Therefore, this time I must not only protect the women in my harem, but also ensure my own safety.

In any case, living a happy life is the most important thing.

Otherwise, what would be the point of me saving the world if I failed?

When evening came, Lila, Elena, and I went to bed early to rest.

After taking a nap, I found it really hard to fall back asleep, so I left the room while Lira and Elena were fast asleep.

The castle of the Beginning Kingdom was very quiet in the dead of night; in fact, it was always quiet.

Especially since I'm on the fourth floor, a high floor.

Actually, this castle has six floors and a rooftop.

Honestly, I haven't really explored the fifth and sixth floors much, so I'll just go for a walk there today.

However, the corridors of this castle are really quite dark at night. If it weren't for the lights made by magic stones, it would be completely dark.

However, the fifth floor is indeed much darker than my fourth floor, because it seems like no one lives here, so it was deliberately made so dark.

When the injury reaches the sixth layer... it's basically pitch black...

It seems that no one has gone back to the sixth floor at all.

So I'll just take a stroll around the fifth floor for now.

Because I'm afraid that if I go to the sixth floor, I might see something bad...

Actually, it's because I possess the Eye of the Void God that I can clearly see monsters, ghosts, and even evil spirits hidden in the world. Therefore... wandering around like this is actually quite dangerous...

Sure enough, just like the fourth floor, the fifth floor had a very spacious corridor with symmetrical doors on both sides.

My door is specially made... This is clearly a very grand gesture from my father, Emperor I... Sigh, there's really nothing I can do about it.

As I walked, I don't know if it was ten or twenty minutes, I finally reached the other end of the stairs.

Goodness, this corridor is really long.

And there doesn't seem to be any stairs at the end of this road. Really... who designed this gate? There isn't even a staircase to go down.

This proves that I have to go back and then return from the other side...

Ugh, this is really tiring.

Indeed, the decorations here are quite magnificent, clearly indicating a very wealthy castle. It's evident that my father, Emperor I, is indeed very financially capable; otherwise, it would probably be a bit old-fashioned, like the castles in the Kingdom of Edela.

As for this castle... it's basically built to be extremely luxurious. This is very likely because the Kingdom of Edela was built by humans themselves, and this castle, in order to defend against attacks from the demons, was built by some powerful dwarves at an extremely high price.

Actually, I saw several places where the walls above my head had crumbled, probably due to the passage of time, but they had been perfectly repaired. This means that my father, Emperor Yi, did indeed pay attention to his residence. And it seems that there weren't any destitute beggars on the streets of the Beginning Kingdom...

It seems that this country at the beginning of the dynasty was indeed a peaceful and prosperous nation.

It is often said that the most dangerous place is actually the safest place, and there is some truth to that.

Because the Kingdom of Edela was located at the very center of all human kingdoms, it could not escape the ravages of the Black Dragon God, the Demon King's army, and the Demon King himself, and was destroyed...

Actually, when my former home city, Kloster, was destroyed, I knew that some of the kingdom's army must have gone around to a distant location before attacking the Kingdom of Adela. I didn't expect it to happen so quickly...

Sigh, this really made Elena feel a bit miserable.

However, just when I was getting a little bored and was about to turn back...

Suddenly I heard a creaking sound as the door opened.

Good heavens, this really startled me.

Who the hell would come here to fool around in the middle of the night?

Honestly, I'm not exactly brave, but I'm not timid either. It's just that this sudden fright really made my heart skip a beat.

However, these terrifying things always arouse my great curiosity...

Yes, my body involuntarily wanted to see what it was, what was there, that made me so "interested".

So I came to a half-open door... and stopped.

This wooden door is indeed somewhat different from the surrounding doors, and it seems to be located right at the top of my room.

Because this place is designed to be particularly high.

Could it be... that some kind of ghost is hiding in this castle...?

This is absolutely terrifying!!!

However, given how enormous this castle is, it's quite normal for it to have one or two ghosts or phantoms... well, because no one can be sure what lies beneath this massive castle of the Beginning Kingdom.

And so, with a heart full of trepidation and my hands trembling slightly, I slowly, yet with a little force, pushed open the massive wooden door of the room…

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Reencounter with Wenda

This wooden door is quite heavy...it looks like it's made of solid wood.

And this wooden door looks old... because it hasn't been maintained as meticulously as the walls, corridor, and surrounding decorations of the other corridors.

That's why it looks particularly dilapidated now.

Perhaps it's because they can't find similar firewood that they've left it lying around like this.

My heart was pounding like a deer's as I pushed the huge wooden door open to a size that I could fit through, and then I slowly poked my head inside.

Even with the dim light of the magic stone lamps outside, I could still tell that this was a huge library.

Moreover, the books here are indeed arranged in a neat and orderly manner, which gives me a feeling that I can calm down and read.

However, this place is quite proper; there's no scary atmosphere at all.

If I were to push open the door and see a complete mess, I would really, really panic.

At that moment, I swallowed hard and then slowly walked in.

I don't know why I was so brave today... Seriously, if it were me before, if I saw a scene that wasn't that scary, I would have left without saying a word and gone back to my warm bed to sleep.

However, just to put my mind at ease, I'll still check it out.

If there's nothing dirty or anything, then I can sleep until very early in the morning.

However, at first I thought it was normal, but then I... heard what sounded like turning pages of a book.

Good heavens, there's even the sound of turning pages in this pitch-black library.

Is it even possible for it to see anything?

Unless the person reading this book... isn't human, but a ghost!!!

Just when my heart was in my throat, and I was about to scream at the slightest sound, it suddenly felt as if a hand quietly touched my shoulder and gently patted it.

"Alas……"

In an instant, my scalp tingled, all the pores on my body stood on end, and cold sweat soaked my back.

Seriously, at this time of day, in this late night, and in this terrifying situation, someone suddenly touches your shoulder...

This is absolutely terrifying!!!

But out of curiosity, I still wanted to see what exactly touched me.

Then I stiffly turned my head to face behind me.

However, at that moment, a little girl in a school uniform, glowing with fluorescent light, looked on with a grin.

"Your Highness, so you've been here all along."

"what?"

However, after opening my eyes wide and taking a closer look, I was stunned.

The one in front of me is indeed a ghost.

But I do know him!

"Wen...Wen Da??!!!"

Honestly, I thought Wenda would always be in the capital city of Edla, under Alice's bed. I never expected her to end up in the Great Library of the Kingdom of Beginning.

Although I always knew that Wenda was a studious child, she could stay with books as long as they were available.

Even after reading all the books, they would still read them a second and third time, delving into their essence...

Therefore, she never complained about the library in my previous home or the Grand Library in the capital city of Adelaide.

It seems that wherever there are books, that's where she'll be.

"Uh... how did you end up here?"

Logically speaking, she should be in the castle of the Kingdom of Edra... how did she end up here?

"Haha, I don't really know either, but I remember that I took a few books to Lilith's room that day, and then I fell asleep while reading them. When I woke up, I was already around this strange castle..."
