The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

"Princess Elena, I hope you can calm down after reading this."

At this moment, Lance Oberent frowned and quickly said.

"It's okay, I can handle anything, no matter how big... Open it."

At this moment, her voice sounded like she was about to cry, but she kept it in and didn't reveal her inner pain to others.

"OK then……"

Since Elena insisted on seeing it, Lance Oberent had no choice but to slowly open it.

However, this hair clip must have belonged to a girl, and it was made of a very special material. Even after such a horrific explosion, it was preserved intact, which proves that this hair clip is a genuine product.

However, on this... I saw it, yes, if I'm not mistaken, it should be completely congealed blood... It's clear that the attack was very sudden, so much so that only a little blood was splattered on it...

"This...this...this is..."

Upon seeing the hair clip, Elena quickly took a few steps back and then fainted on the spot.

Without saying a word, I caught her to prevent her from fainting and falling to the ground.

It seems that this hair clip must belong to someone very close to her... otherwise, she wouldn't have become so emotional and fainted.

"As expected, this is what happens when she sees this..."

At this moment, Vice Admiral Lance Oberent couldn't help but sigh, and then said.

"What exactly is this thing?"

At this point, I asked, also puzzled.

"This should be Princess Katanina's headdress, and she always wears it, even when she sleeps. If I'm not mistaken, she always wears it."

But at that moment, a familiar figure appeared.

That's right, it's Betty, Elena's personal maid who has always lived by her side and accompanied her as she grew up.

"Ms. Betty? You're still alive?!?"

When I saw her, I was stunned... Logically speaking, she should be helping with cleaning in the royal city or working as a secretary at the academy. No matter where she was, she would definitely die... Because if I'm not mistaken, the only people who should survive in the academy are the few of us here now, and my true familiar, the Peach Demon King Miriam. The chances of the headmaster and vice-headmaster surviving are also very small.

"Hmm... When I finished cleaning up for Princess Elena that day, Louise called me over to help heal two wounded soldiers... Just then, something blew up almost half of the royal city, which really scared me to death."

At this point, Ms. Betty recounted the general events that had transpired.

But she was incredibly lucky. Seriously, if she had left even a moment later, it would have been all over...

"However, that court mage chief is really a bit strange. The night before the academy's capital was attacked, he came to me and asked if I wanted to leave. Of course, how could I possibly leave? So he gave me a stone and told me to put it in the very center of this training camp to avoid disaster. I never expected... he really did foresee this."

At this moment, General Edson couldn't help but say incredulously, because he couldn't understand how the court mage, Bahrel, would know that the royal city of Edela would suffer such a catastrophic disaster.

"Actually... that court mage, Bahrel, is a demon king in the demon army, a big undercover agent who has been lurking in the capital of Edela."

"What?!!!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present roared in shock.

"Sure enough, I always thought that guy was weird, and it turns out he really is."

At this moment, Vice Admiral Lance Oberent was covering his head, seemingly having realized that this guy was very strange, but since his rank was far lower than his, he didn't say anything.

"Sigh, what's done is done, so we can't blame anyone else. We can only blame everyone for not recognizing that guy's identity, which led to this trouble."

At this moment, the already heavy atmosphere became even heavier.

It seems I'll have to start persuading Elena again... Sigh, I really don't know if our return this time was a good thing or a bad thing.

Chapter Fifty-One: Telling Louise Everything

However, Elena, the person we were most important to talk to, fainted due to excessive fright, so we took her to a rather special floor.

Why is it considered special? Because this military training camp actually has four floors. Since it was where important noble soldiers lived, the decorations were relatively high-end, and the building materials were even more sturdy than those of a castle.

The room we arrived at was probably a conference room or something similar, and there was only one exit: the back door.

This back door does not lead to any other rooms within this room.

Furthermore, the stairwell on this particular floor is located between the back entrance and the conference room, making it rather narrow.

Seriously, someone of General Edson's size would have a very difficult time climbing those stairs.

It seems that unless you have a figure as graceful as ours, you simply can't get to this floor.

This special floor has a total of nine rooms, two of which are locked with iron locks, so only seven rooms are usable.

There's only one double door facing the stairwell; the rest are single doors.

Naturally, one of them should be Louise's.

Elena, without a doubt, should be living in that large room with double doors.

I was assigned to the room next to hers.

Of course, to prevent Elena from waking up and having a breakdown or doing something foolish, I, along with Teacher Betty and Lila Louise, stayed by her side for the time being.

About two hours later, Elena finally opened her eyes.

"here it is……"

"You're awake, Princess Elena."

At this moment, Ms. Betty slowly walked towards Elena, and then a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Betty...is it really you, Betty?!"

At this moment, Elena sat up abruptly from her seat, staring at Teacher Betty in shock.

"Yes, I was only able to escape this disaster thanks to Louise's request to help treat the soldiers' wounds. Otherwise, I would definitely have died in this calamity."

"Ah... I'm not dreaming, am I? Haha, Betty, it's so good that you're alive. It's just that my sister... my sister..."

As she spoke, Elena's tears flowed uncontrollably like a spring.

Because she truly loved her older sister, Princess Katanina. Although her sister had been bullied by her other older sister and had become timid, family is family after all, and no one could accept her sudden death.

“I’m sorry, Princess Elena, if I’m not mistaken, Princess Katanina was still in the room at the time… she must have perished.”

At this moment, Ms. Betty frowned slightly, which made me feel a pang of sadness.

However, compared to me, Betty, the maid who grew up with her, was definitely better at comforting her, so there's nothing for me to do here for the time being.

Therefore, in order not to disturb them, we quietly prepared to leave the room.

"Ivy".

However, just as I pushed open the door, Elena called out to me.

"Ok?"

At that moment, I turned my head and quickly looked at her.

Although her eyes were red and swollen like a rabbit's, and she couldn't stop the tears, her expression was quite serious.

"Ivy, I beg you to lend me a hand. You must kill the Black Dragon God, to seek justice for my sister, for my father, and for the entire Kingdom of Edela. Please..."

Although Elena was quite tough at first, she suddenly softened later on.

Because she knew this was a battle that would cost her life, and even if I disagreed, she could only accept it willingly.

Because reality is reality, and it is always cruel and merciless.

Take me for example. I was living a good and happy life in Crosstreet, but who knew I would become a fallen princess.

If it weren't for my money-making skills and intelligence, coupled with the goddess's blessing and prophetic pronouncements, I might not exist anymore.

Honestly, even now, I don't really regret coming into this world.

“Ah, no problem, Elena. Our goals are the same. I need to take care of the Black Dragon God’s life myself.”

At this moment, I also acted very seriously.

That's right, the hatred for killing Belissa and Otto is irreconcilable. Since you've taken away someone very important to me, I will not tolerate your death either.

"That's good."

At this moment, a faint smile appeared on Elena's tear-streaked face.

After that, I went back to my room.

Louise remained silent the entire way, as if she had much to say but dared not utter it.

Until I sat on the bed and Louise came in and closed the door, I wanted her to say what she wanted to say.

"Louise, just say whatever you want to say. There are no outsiders here."

Lila and Xiaobai have been by my side the whole time. Although I should have called Lilith over, I couldn't because of her status. I didn't call her at first, so it's not really appropriate to call her now.

"Hmm... Your Highness, I have many questions. The location you were at should have been the origin of the horrific explosion, yet you and Princess Elena were all unharmed. This does seem rather strange to me."

Sure enough, logically speaking, we were only about two or three meters away from the Black Dragon God. Naturally, if this devastating explosion occurred, we would not even be reduced to ashes.

It's perfectly normal that Louise found this strange.

Therefore, I told Louise the whole story and gave her a general account of what had happened to me.

Because Louise is someone I can trust, I can tell her the truth about what I lost.
