The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

After looking inside carefully, I did smell the same fragrance as the toilet (in the toilets of noble families, they usually use a semi-solid substance that can deodorize and fragrance, just like a real air purifier).

It seems that the ghost really did let me go. Since that's the case, without saying a word, I took off my cute little bear panties and started picking flowers.

However, my heart was still pounding with anxiety...

Because that funny face appeared when I was halfway through picking the flowers, and this time...

Sure enough, halfway through, a white shadow flashed past me again from behind.

"Ah~"

I couldn't help but swallow hard, and my whole body started to tremble.

This time, I was really curious to find out what it was all about, because I wanted to see for myself what it was.

Seeing is believing!

Sure enough, the eerie and terrifying ghost face slowly emerged from the corner of the wall.

"Wow..."

I quickly covered my mouth, but I was so nervous that my clothes were almost soaked with sweat, and my body was trembling so much that I could barely take it off.

Indeed, ghosts are truly terrifying.

"Get out...get out."

However, without saying a word, that sinister and terrifying face suddenly lunged at me.

"Your uncle's..."

I'm still squatting on the toilet and can't get up at all. If this thing suddenly rushes towards me, how should I dodge it?

Well... as the saying goes, there's always a way out, but this is really going too far!

"Fireball!"

In a moment of desperation, I closed my eyes and unleashed a full-power fireball right in front of me.

Then a huge fireball must have hit the ghost directly... and then there was a loud "boom", and the toilet door was blown off by me.

Sure enough, when people are terrified, the special moves they unleash are incredibly powerful.

In that instant, the entire toilet burst into flames and was directly illuminated, and the ghost vanished without a trace because of the light.

"Phew...looks like it's gone..."

But I was really scared to death just now. If I were even a tiny bit braver than the average person, I probably would have fainted on the spot.

However, at that moment, I seemed to hear a very hurried series of footsteps.

Then the corridor lights were turned on instantly.

"Your Highness, what has happened?!"

At that moment, Lilith, followed by Louise, rushed in, both looking panicked.

"Hmm... this house is really haunted..."

The moment I saw Lilith, I went limp. I was in a state of high tension, and gradually, for some reason, my brain seemed to go dead and I lost consciousness.

It wasn't until the next day that I realized I hadn't run into a toilet at all, but rather into a hidden door in this room...

Yes, it's a place that's like a secret room.

And the place where I picked the flowers wasn't the toilet, but a wine barrel almost the same size as the toilet...

I never expected that this family was also in the business of selling alcohol. It's clear that they were more than just ordinary nobles before.

However, this completely confirmed my suspicions; there was indeed something in this room.

What exactly it was, neither Lilith nor I could guess.

Then I'll have to go to school tomorrow and ask Ms. Kaphni for advice, to see if she has any way to bring out this ghost or something, or better yet, get rid of it, so it doesn't keep scaring me at night.

If this continues, my poor heart might be scared into having a heart attack!

Chapter Nineteen: Lira has run away from home!

However, on the second day of school, I not only successfully received the honor I deserved, but also unexpectedly became famous in another part of the college.

When I saw those black and white photos, they clearly depicted the moment I carried Lira to the infirmary...

It just so happens that it was pasted on the most eye-catching "news board" in the college.

This is unbelievable... How can such advanced things exist in this bizarre world?!

That moment completely stunned me.

Fortunately, the rumor wasn't negative; on the contrary, it increased the girls' awareness and favorability towards me, which wasn't so bad after all.

Unfortunately, Lila, this lovely child, didn't come to school today.

This incident has made me a little depressed. Today's class, which was supposed to be one of the most interesting classes taught by Ms. Kaphni, has become quite boring and tedious.

Does that mean Lila's sprained ankle was quite serious?

Could it be a broken bone?

Wasn't all of this caused by my own hands...?

Or did I, without anyone noticing, declare war on the Duke's family in the royal city...?

Or perhaps Lila couldn't stand her second-place ranking and, having lost a duel with me, was too ashamed to return to the academy and transfer schools.

Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle and makes me extremely restless.

Sure enough, after the first class at the academy, I was called to Professor Kaphni's office.

It seems there really is a problem...

"Ivy, after you took Lila to the infirmary that day, do you know where she went next?"

Kaphni, who has always been quite playful and never acted like a teacher, has such a serious expression today. It seems this matter is not so simple.

"I took her to the infirmary yesterday and then went straight home... Did something happen?"

"Well... I heard from Lila's father, Duke Carlstein, that because she's lost all her prestige at our academy, they're planning to transfer her... But Lila didn't agree and even had a fight with her father. Then, in a fit of anger, she ran away from home and didn't come back all night..."

"I see……"

I never expected Lila to be such a rebellious child, running away from home instead of transferring schools?

In other words, it would actually be very easy to bring her into the harem?

That put my mind at ease a lot.

"In that case, I'll keep a close eye out on my way home and see if I can find any clues about her."

"That's wonderful, Ivy. To be honest, Lila is a bit of a worry. If she can go back to school, I'll need you to keep an eye on her."

"Okay, no problem. Leave the matter of taking care of Lila to me!"

Thus, I took on this important task.

Yes, of course, it's the important task of bringing them into the real harem.

Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly remembered the ghost story in my house, so I quickly asked her for advice on how to catch or drive it away so that I could sleep peacefully at night.

Because no one expected that the house would not only be dilapidated, but also haunted.

If I had known this, I would have checked out and gotten a refund long ago.

However, the money had already been paid... Then I asked Louise to ask the landlord about it, and the landlord said that we could stay for a few more years without any problem, and refused to refund the money. This really made me so angry (╬◣д◢)!

"By the way, Ms. Kaphni, do you know what to do if a house is haunted?"

Is the house haunted?

Then, feeling very embarrassed, I told Ms. Kaphni about picking the flowers and then being led astray by some kind of ghostly illusion.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Kaphni tilted her head back and pondered for a moment.

"The ghost in your house... if I'm not mistaken, is most likely a terrestrial spirit... and a rather unruly one at that."

"You mean a bound spirit? You mean a vengeful spirit sealed in this house?"

I couldn't help but widen my eyes and ask in disbelief.

So-called earthbound spirits are the spirits of the dead who are bound to a certain area. Such spirits often harbor resentment and thus become evil spirits.

I've only ever seen these kinds of vengeful spirits in urban legends and comics. They're usually people who had unfulfilled grievances, unfulfilled wishes, or unpunished enemies in life, preventing them from attaining Buddhahood. So they stay there until their wishes are fulfilled before leaving.

Why did that earthbound spirit come looking for me instead of someone else?

Could it be that I have some kind of connection with that earthbound spirit?

No, no, no... I'm just a kid, what kind of grudge could I possibly have against anyone...

Moreover, I was reincarnated from another world, so such a thing is even more impossible.

The only possibility is that the earthbound spirit thinks I'm easy to bully, so it's been teasing me.

This is absolutely outrageous! (〃＞皿＜)！

Since that's the case, we must catch it tonight and teach it a good lesson.
