The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

Otherwise, even if I have 100 points of energy every day, I can only be 60 points. Plus, I spend most of it studying. Where would I find the energy to build a harem?

"Alright then... since you're so eager to hear it, I'll tell you."

Later, we learned from this earthbound spirit girl that her name was Wenda Calbint, the youngest daughter of Viscount Calbint of the Royal City of Allen.

About 140 years ago, when the Allen Advanced Magic Academy was first established, Wenda was one of the first magicians to enroll, and she was the top-ranked red-robed noblewoman.

However, one day, she, who had always been rather withdrawn and taciturn at school and had no friends, was attacked by a group of female rapists on her way home from school.

Even though she was very powerful, she was still helpless against such a person, and in the end she was captured and brought to this place, which is the house where we live.

In other words, this is the hideout of those female rapists.

The main reason was that Wenda's appearance was very quiet and lovely, which made the leader of the female rapists fall in love with her. Therefore, after she was done to, he did not let his subordinates "enjoy" her, but instead threw her directly into this hidden basement that only he knew about.

Just as Wenda was being violated by the leader of this female rapist for half a year and was barely clinging to life, the house suddenly caught fire, for reasons unknown.

Fortunately, the room was well-sealed and fire-resistant, so it didn't burn her.

She stayed there, but after a while, no one asked about her… She was already very weak, and soon starved to death in that basement.

Thus, she began to harbor a very strong resentment towards the injustice of the world, which transformed her into a vengeful spirit, and she became the earthbound spirit of this region.

Whoever comes here, she will basically transform into a terrifying figure to frighten them.

Even after several batches of construction workers spent more than ten years building the house, it remained abandoned and no one dared to live in it.

Just a hundred years ago, a monk from the East, due to poverty, could only afford to stay here at a very low price.

Thinking he possessed some magical power, he directly located the basement where Lila's body was, and then cast a spell on it.

They thought they could stop Wenda's mischief, but it was no use. In the end, they were so scared that they ran away from the house in a panic.

Therefore, this house is known to the world as the "most haunted house".

"I see. So those candles and talismans were set up by that monk from the East."

After hearing what Wenda said, I suddenly realized what was going on.

"Ha, a mere bald monk thinks he can seal this young lady away? That's wishful thinking. Although I can't leave this house, scaring them half to death in the middle of the night is no problem!"

Wenda was quite disdainful at this moment, but this gave me an even more intriguing idea.

"Speaking of Wenda, you said you weren't afraid of that monk, so why are you afraid of this salt?"

"Uh... well... I don't know, but I felt really uncomfortable when you first came over!"

Ha... This guy is actually acting all high and mighty. But if she's such a vengeful spirit, we can't let her run wild.

Even though I saw her true form and her true identity this time, it doesn't mean she won't mess with me again in the middle of the night.

Since that's the case, I have to come up with a brilliant plan to at least make her completely submissive.

"Hey, little Wenda, what's this?"

At that moment, I picked up the bottle of holy water that Teacher Kaphni had given me and immediately put on an evil smile.

Since the salt that Teacher Kafni said is very useful, it proves that this holy water can really kill her!

"what?"

Wenda took it directly, then looked closely at the bottle of clear liquid in my hand, her face showing a very puzzled expression.

I quickly opened the bottle of holy water, and a faint aroma, somewhat like alcohol, slowly drifted into the air.

"This...this is...holy water!"

Wenda seemed to smell the holy water as well, and her expression changed drastically. Her originally fair face slowly turned blue.

“That’s right, little sister Wenda, if you dare to cause any more trouble, then I will…”

As I spoke, I quickly stepped forward, tilted the bottle slightly towards her remains, and intended to pour a drop onto her.

"No...no no no no please, Your Highness, this thing is no joke. Just one drop is enough to make me half-dead. Really, spare me. I'll do whatever you say, I'll do whatever you say, and I'll never dare to cause you any more trouble in the middle of the night."

Unexpectedly, Wenda, who had always been arrogant and lawless, knelt down in mid-air upon seeing the holy water, appearing terrified.

It seems this holy water has miraculous effects.

No wonder the vampires and zombies in those old anime and comics would start burning when they came into contact with holy water; perhaps that's the amazing effect.

"Alright then, as long as you stop causing trouble, I'll let you off for now."

"Yes--!"

It seems I've completely subdued Wenda. But that's fine too. I won't have to suffer terribly from her picking flowers in the middle of the night anymore. I can focus more on building my harem at the academy from now on. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?

"Um... Sister Wenda, is there any unfulfilled wish you have left in this world?"

Just then, Lilith asked with some confusion.

However, Lilith's question is quite valid. Since it is a vengeful spirit, it must have certain last wishes. If those wishes are fulfilled, it should be able to become a Buddha directly and no longer need to be imprisoned in this room.

"Hmm...you know what, I actually do have a last wish..."

"What is it? Can you tell me?"

"That is, when I was raped, one of my family crests was stolen. And this crest has been quite active in this area recently, so you might have a chance to see it..."

As she spoke, Wenda stretched out her hand and drew two strokes in the air, and instantly a very beautiful badge appeared in front of everyone.

"You mean you want us to help you retrieve this family crest?"

After looking at the shape of the badge, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Because this city is so big and there are so many people, how are we supposed to find this badge...?

We can't exactly go door-to-door asking if anyone has seen this young lady's family crest or anything like that...

Even if someone knew, they wouldn't just hand it over.

Only a fool would give that away!

"I...I've seen this badge before!"

Just as we were all thinking about how to get the badge, Lila's voice suddenly came from behind us.

Chapter Twenty-Five: All the events were somehow connected into a single thread.

When we looked around, we saw Lila dragging her battered body, wearing what should have been my thick coat, clinging to the wall and peeking her head through the basement entrance.

"Lila...you can't move your body yet!"

Upon seeing Lila appear, I widened my eyes and quickly said...

This guy doesn't take care of his body at all. If it were me, I would be sleeping like a log after such a serious injury.

"No...it's alright, it's just that I feel a little uneasy that you're not here with me, Ivy..."

At this moment, Lila's face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but look up at the ceiling.

But this only highlights her cuteness...

If I could, I'd like to hug her right now.

No...no, I need to be more reserved, otherwise I'll feel like a big bad wolf waiting to eat Little Red Riding Hood.

However, her face was very pale, and it was clear that she had really forced herself to come here.

Because it's quite a distance from my room on the second floor to the end of the living room on the first floor.

"You mean you've seen this badge before?"

Wenda was also very surprised when she heard this, as if she could hardly believe that this family crest, which was so important to her, could be found so easily.

"Lila, where exactly can you see this badge?"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel gratified, because I never expected that it might have taken ten days or half a month to find clues, but now, because of saving Lila, we have saved time. This is something I never expected.

"This badge... is on the chest of the female rapist leader who attacked me..."

"real or fake?!"

I never expected that all these events would be connected in one line; this really surprised me.

However, this seems too much of a coincidence, which makes me suspect that something is amiss...

"Um... Ivy... please believe me... I absolutely cannot be wrong."

As she spoke, Lila slid down the wall like a kite with a broken string.

"Lila!"

Seeing Lila like this, I rushed over without saying a word to check on her condition.

It seems that she was too weak to even reach the entrance to this basement, and now she has completely lost consciousness.

"Okay, Miss Wenda, I promise to help you find that badge, on the condition that you don't play any more pranks on us, okay?"

Without saying a word, I picked up the unconscious Lila in a princess carry and turned to speak to the ghost Wenda in the basement.

"No problem, I have plenty of time to wait, but don't make me impatient."

At this moment, a relieved smile appeared on Wenda's face, and then she gradually became transparent before disappearing directly into the basement.

It seems that the incident involving the earthbound spirit Wenda has come to an end. All that remains is to find an opportunity to locate the hideouts of those female rapists and then eliminate them in one fell swoop.
