The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

That's true. Lila has been missing for more than two weeks, and her father, Earl Carlstein, seems to have sent people to search for her for a long time, but they haven't found any trace of her.

But why did she find my house?

Could it be that it was Ms. Kaphni again? Did she betray me again?

When I get back, I must get to the bottom of this. If I find a traitor in my life when I return, I'll really be in a bad mood.

And so, holding Lila's little hand, I slowly walked towards the group of soldiers and Lila's father, Earl Carlstein.

My heart was pounding wildly, because it was the first time I had ever seen Earl Carlstin.

So I don't know what to say during the first meeting.

However, I can't possibly let my lovely harem member, Lila, be handed over so easily.

Therefore, I must protect Lila well from now on and let her know that I, the empress of the harem, am not someone to be bullied.

"dad……"

Our arrival immediately drew everyone's attention.

Lila, very timidly, called out to her father, and then hid behind me.

At this moment, I can feel the little girl behind me trembling.

It's so heartbreaking to see.

"Oh, Lira, I'm so glad you're safe and sound."

As he spoke, Lila's father, Earl Carlstin, opened his arms and walked slowly toward Lila and me.

"Hurry up and come home with Daddy. Daddy has missed you so much. I'll treat you well this time, okay?"

Ha, treat her well, I think you just want to teach her a lesson...

“No… After Mom passed away, Dad, all you ever did was work. You never showed me any love. I feel like this place, Ivy’s, is more like my home!”

Upon hearing this, Lila suddenly shouted at her father, Earl Carlstein.

It turns out that Lila was also a child who suffered a lot, losing her mother at such a young age.

Wait... I think I don't have a dad and mom anymore either... Sigh, we're the same, aren't we?

"Oh, you silly child, when did you become so disobedient?!"

Instantly, Lila's father, Earl Carlstin, frowned, and then walked quickly and gracefully toward Lila and me.

However, Lila's body trembled even more violently at this moment, and she also pulled my arm so hard it hurt.

It seems she chickened out...

Since that's the case, it's time for me to take the stage. In short, if you want to take Lila away from here, you'll have to step over my dead body.

Ha, I also believe that this man would really do such a thing.

"your Highness."

At that moment, Louise also got off the carriage and ran up behind me.

Then I gave her a look, signaling her not to make any rash moves.

However, she was behind me, which seemed to really embolden me.

Because these dozen or so soldiers were indeed no match for Louise and me, but in order to avoid hurting our relationship, I still planned to talk to him. If that didn't work, I really would use force to forcibly take Lira back.

Because entering my harem is easy, but leaving? Well, that's not even a chance.

"Greetings, Earl Carlstin. I am Yville. It's a pleasure to meet you."

As I spoke, I lifted the hem of my skirt with both hands and then performed a very standard aristocratic lady's etiquette.

Chapter Sixty-Two: The terms were agreed upon, but the escape route was cut off...

"Oh, I see. So you are Princess Ivy."

At that moment, Lira's father, Earl Carlstin, seemed to have some recollection of me.

"You know me?"

But haven't we just met? How could you possibly know me? Unless…

I couldn't help but glance at Lila behind me.

However, she didn't dare to look me in the eye, and instead buried herself even deeper behind me.

It's clear I've been betrayed by my own people!

"Ha, so you stole my daughter's status as a red-robed nobleman and even caused our Earl's family to lose face in a duel. How could I not know you?!"

At this moment, Earl Carlstin only frowned slightly, but his words were filled with anger. It seemed that he really knew me, because, after all, Lila had indeed lost miserably in front of everyone in the school.

"However... I still want to thank you, because you saved my little girl Lila. It seems that she was not taken away by bad people, which is better than anything else."

Count Carlstin, who should have been furious, instantly relaxed his brow, as if he was relieved that Lila was alright.

However, you completely ignored Lila's feelings.

In this respect, you have already failed as a father.

"Yes, and I also avenged Lila and wiped out all those criminals. You've heard about it, haven't you, Earl Carlstin?"

"Yes, that's right. However, my daughter has been bothering you for a long time. Tomorrow, I will send someone over to give you a very large sum of money to repay your kindness in saving my daughter. Is that alright?"

Indeed, the prospect of receiving a very large sum of money seemed very tempting, but compared to Lira, I had absolutely no interest in it.

"I'm sorry, I won't accept the money, and I won't give Lila to you, because she's already my best friend (in my harem)."

"what?!"

Hearing me say that, Lila's father, Little Mustache, seemed to tremble with anger, probably because he didn't expect me to be such a persistent person to his daughter.

"Lila, be good and come back with Daddy. It's not proper for you to always stay at other people's houses."

At this moment, Lila's father seemed to know that I was a bit difficult to deal with, so he didn't continue to target me. Instead, he wanted to start by taking advantage of Lila, who was the easier target.

"I don't... Ivy, please save me, I don't want to go back."

"You see, this is the only place where Lila lives, so Lila won't be going with you today."

Honestly, Lila has begged me so much, I really can't just let her go like this. It seems that no matter what, today I'm bound to have a falling out with Lila's father, Earl Carlstein.

"You brat!"

As he spoke, Count Carlstin rolled up his sleeves, seemingly intending to forcibly take Lila home using "physical" means.

In that instant, I gave Louise a look.

Louise understood what I meant and walked straight forward, placing her hand on the knight's sword at her waist.

Seeing Louise preparing to draw her sword, Lira's father seemed to chicken out, and his body, which had originally intended to continue forward, unconsciously took a few steps back.

Then the many soldiers behind him also became alert, as if they were preparing for battle.

“Princess Ivy, what exactly do you want? Lila is my daughter. Even though you are a princess of a border country, you cannot interfere in our family affairs. Moreover, if you do, don’t think I will let you off easily.”

Honestly, I don't have any official title right now, but the Aurora Blade at my waist proves that I am Princess Kloster. And that's the only thing I have to prove; everything else was lost when Kloster was destroyed...

Although I had heard that Lira's father had over a hundred men under his command and was a count, that alone was not enough to threaten me.

However, this is a family matter for Lila and the others. If it really escalates to the King's ears, I'll be in a difficult position to handle.

However, things will work out in the end. Since that's the case, why not give it a try and get Lira's father, Earl Carlstin, to agree to stay by my side?

“Well, Earl Carlstin, I actually have a suggestion, would you mind listening to it?”

Actually, this is my last resort, because if I still can't persuade him, then I might have to resort to force.

I really don't want to! (〃＞皿＜)！

"What, Princess Ivy, you actually want to discuss this with me? In that case, tell me."

Sure enough, even Lila's father was a reasonably reasonable person. Since there was a reason, why not listen? If things really escalated to the point of mutual destruction, the rumors might spread throughout the entire capital city in an instant.

Then my reputation and that of the Lira family were instantly ruined...

"Here's the thing, give me a month, and I will make Lila a red-robed noble like me, and bring her the honor and glory she deserves. How about that?"

In fact, in a place resembling the Middle Ages, reputation and honor are extremely important to a nobleman who values ​​his image. Now that Lila has lost all face, if she can at least salvage some of it, that would be the greatest reward for Earl Carlstin.

"Oh? That's quite interesting. So how do you plan to make her a Red Noble? And I know that the current generation of Red Nobles are actually stronger than my little daughter Lila."

This immediately piqued his interest, and since that was the case, he had to seize the opportunity while it was still fresh.

Otherwise, if things cool down, it will be equivalent to the negotiation failing.

"I will personally assist Lila in improving her strength. In just one month, I will have her defeat Baron Badlin's son, Ruth, and become a red noble!"

"You yourself?"

This did puzzle him somewhat, because I was just a twelve-year-old child. How could he possibly believe that my guidance alone could make Lila stronger than Lutes?

"Yes, you can ask Lira how strong I really am."

At that moment, I quickly gave Lila a look, because only her words could change his father's opinion of me, so I asked Lila for help.

“Hmm… Ivy is very strong. She was not afraid of even the high-level magic cast by Peach Demon King Milian. She even broke two of her high-level spells and ultimately caused her to be seriously injured. So, Father, please let me stay by Ivy’s side. I will definitely not let you down. I will definitely defeat Baron Badlin’s son, Lutes, and win the title of Red Noble and the honor that I deserve!”
