The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

"It's... Princess Elena!!!"

At this moment, the soldier seemed to have seen Elena before, and he immediately started to stammer and shout loudly.

"What?!!!!"

Chapter 49: The Last Member of the Harem, Louise

Upon hearing this, all the soldiers who were guarding the area and those who were resting rushed over in a panic. After confirming that it was indeed Elena, everyone's face showed a look of utter shock.

"Quickly tell Commander Edson and General Lilith that Princess Elena did not die in that horrific explosion, but returned safely. Go now!"

At this moment, a bearded, heavily armored soldier forcefully shoved a soldier wearing light armor, and then said with a shocked expression.

"Ah, yes!!"

Upon hearing this, the soldier quickly responded.

Then he took off running, just like a rabbit, running incredibly fast.

After that, all the soldiers who had gathered together knelt down on the ground in unison.

"Welcome back to the country, Princess Elena!"

At this moment, their voices were very loud and resounded throughout the entire area.

"Get up, all of you. Can you tell me what exactly happened this past year?"

At this moment, Elena quickly stepped forward and helped up an old soldier who looked to be about seventy years old. Perhaps this old soldier was the sergeant here.

He may have retired long ago, but seeing his country reduced to this state, he took up his original position again and guarded the front line of the Edela Royal City military camp training area, stopping the Demon King's army from attacking. He truly deserves praise.

“Princess Elena, your subordinates are too kind to you. Let’s wait until General Edson returns and tell you about this. We only know a tiny fraction of what’s going on. General Edson has been leading all the soldiers and controlling the overall situation, so he should know a great deal.”

"Ok."

Now that we see so many soldiers standing up, let's prepare to disembark from the bear chariot.

Because, to be honest, it's not really emboldening to have Elena alone.

Now, with a group of us here, we can give Elena the courage to continue facing the challenges ahead.

However, as soon as I got off the bear-shaped vehicle, everyone's eyes immediately turned to me.

And that gaze... how should I put it... it revealed an expression as if they were looking at a goddess.

Looks like I'm starting to look like a goddess, hehe.

"Uh, Princess Elena, and who is this?"

At this moment, the elderly veteran captain hurriedly asked Elena beside him.

"Her? She is Ivy, the Holy Princess of the Kingdom of Edela. Perhaps her appearance has changed a bit, but it is indeed her."

"It's actually Princess Saintess!"

Upon hearing my title, the old sergeant quickly walked with some difficulty to my side and knelt down. Seeing him kneel, the other soldiers naturally couldn't stay standing any longer, and with a "whoosh," they all knelt down in perfect unison.

"Welcome back to the Holy Princess!"

Then, another unanimous response rang out, which was truly awe-inspiring.

Although there are fewer than fifty of them, they shouted with the spirit of five hundred. It really makes me think that there are people in the world who are so indomitable in the face of danger, who stand firm and are not afraid of death to stick to the front line. It is truly amazing.

"Alright, everyone, get up."

Honestly, I can't bear to see these soldiers, who have been working tirelessly day and night in shifts, kneeling like this any longer.

After hearing my words, all the soldiers slowly stood up.

Just then, I seemed to hear the sound of armor clanging incessantly, and then a familiar figure appeared in front of me.

She still had a wisp of long red hair and was wearing half-body plate armor. A young woman with a spirit that rivaled any man appeared before my eyes.

That's right, that's the last member of my harem I need to find, Louise.

At this moment, she looked extremely flustered, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

However, this is the first time I've seen Louise cry.

And I don't know why, but a warm stream started to slide down my face.

Perhaps it was because during the trial of awakening the Eye of the Void God, I saw Louise and even had a 1v1 duel with her, which I won.

This is truly the thing that makes me happiest and most excited.

Because my strength has grown to be greater than Louise's, and I can not only protect myself, but also her.

How can this make me unhappy?

Without saying a word, she removed her plate armor, walked over, and picked me up.

Ah, it's so warm and comfortable, and that big winter melon is still so bouncy and chewy, it feels amazing.

Moreover, although she had a slight smell of sweat, it couldn't mask her natural body odor, and it was still that familiar scent.

Seriously, I'm so happy right now.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, is it really you...?"

At this moment, Louise, with a slight sob in her voice, quickly asked me.

I could feel her body trembling slightly; she was genuinely moved and excited to see me.

"Yes, it's me, Louise."

"Ah...that's wonderful. I thought I'd never see you again."

Truly, no amount of words can compare to the real feeling of this hug.

"Yes, I heard that the Kingdom of Edra was destroyed, and I thought I would never see you again."

Ah, it's so good to see Louise. If I could, I really wouldn't want to save the world anymore. I'd rather take my harem and run away together.

However, reality is cruel... and we have no choice but to accept it.

"Hahaha, what a touching scene! I didn't expect that Princess Saintess and Princess Princess are still alive. It's truly a great fortune for the Kingdom of Edela. Come and rest in the training camp. We can have a chat."

At this moment, General Edelson slowly walked towards us, a very bright smile on his face.

However, I noticed that it had indeed aged considerably in recent days. It seems that it was also troubled by the labor and policies of the entire kingdom, as well as dealing with the attacks of the Demon King's army.

However, this time, Elena can take the opportunity to become the queen of the Kingdom of Edla, which will help General Edsen share some of the burden, which is quite good.

"Ok."

And so, we followed Louise and General Edson slowly toward the castle.

Chapter Fifty: The Current Situation is Extremely Bad

And so I followed Louise and General Edson toward the military training camp in the former royal city of Edela.

Sure enough, the further they went, the more severe the damage became. By the time they reached the vicinity of the castle, it was in a terrible state... It could only be described as a horrific sight.

I'm starting to doubt if this is really the royal city of Adela that we've always lived in... Because the castle in the center of the country, given its sturdy construction, should theoretically be difficult to destroy even with the Black Dragon God's Black Dragon Breath, yet it has been affected by his strongest move and is in such a terrible state. It really makes me feel uneasy.

"How is my father? Has he found any clues?"

At this moment, Elena asked General Edson somewhat anxiously.

However, Admiral Edson continued walking forward without saying a word, as if he hadn't heard Elena's words at all.

Only after we arrived at the camp's house, and after completely closing and locking the door from the inside, and having someone watch the entrance, did we feel safe enough to sit down.

It seems that all of this is a state secret and cannot be disclosed to the public.

However, while the castle of the Kingdom of Adela was destroyed in this state, the buildings of this royal training center were surprisingly intact.

It was as if this place had been protected by some kind of barrier before; otherwise, General Edson's camp would never have been spared.

But what exactly is it that makes them so cautious, as if they don't want anyone to know?

"I apologize, Princess Elena and Her Highness the Holy Princess, but this old general is incompetent and has been unable to find King Edra's body..."

At that moment, General Edson knelt down directly in front of me and Elena.

"Ha... what does 'not found' mean?"

Upon hearing this, Elena's eyes widened in disbelief as she spoke.

"It's just that... the veteran took all the soldiers from the camp to search for survivors... however."

"But what? Stop beating around the bush and tell me already."

At this moment, Elena was extremely anxious, as if she was about to jump up from the sofa she had just sat down.

Indeed, that was her beloved father. Not only her father, but also her maid Betty, who had been with her since childhood, and her older sister, with whom she had always played, had all disappeared without a trace. How could she not be anxious?

"I'm so sorry, Princess Elena, but we found this in the ruins..."

As he spoke, General Edson had the heavy armored lieutenant who had helped me out of the predicament earlier—if I remember correctly, he was Alice's cousin, named Lance Oberent—take out a handkerchief.

"This is……"

Elena, still staring wide-eyed, looked at the handkerchief with a puzzled expression.
