The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

Louise, who is usually reckless and impulsive, is actually worried about my health.

This is truly the first time I've ever encountered such a situation.

However, I can't remember how long Louise and I have been training together.

I think I'm twelve years old now...

if I'm not mistaken.

Oh right, didn't that goddess Lanis say that on my twelfth birthday I would become a fallen princess?

Now, I've already turned twelve, and I'm doing just fine.

That's strange.

Could it be that even the goddess's oracle can be wrong?

At this moment, Louise and I were still standing in the courtyard in the backyard of the castle where I always trained.

However, I feel a little uncomfortable holding a wooden sword now.

Huh?

That's strange.

If I wasn't holding a wooden sword, what was I holding before?

In an instant, some strange and fragmented pieces of memory made me feel a little weird.

However, in order to avoid a recurrence of the headache, I'd better not think too much about it.

Today, I must first obtain a book from Louise before I can duel her.

Because this is one of my lifelong wishes.

At this moment, I placed the wooden sword I had planted at my waist, then bent forward, assuming an attack stance.

Louise had already gripped her wooden sword tightly with both hands, ready to attack before I could.

Sure enough, experience counts.

Louise, having served as a general guarding the northern border for many years, was already half a head stronger than me in terms of sheer presence.

However...

for some reason, my usual fighting stance suddenly changed.

That's right, my body started moving on its own, as if it didn't want me to use those special moves anymore.

Since that's the case, I can't fight city hall, so I'll just follow my body's natural attack posture and start preparing for battle.

At this moment, I held my sword in a straight line, ready to either thrust or make a slight slash.

At this moment, Little White, who had been sleeping under the shade of the tree, rubbed her eyes and sat up.

It seemed that she was somewhat interested in our combat practice.

"Hey, Your Highness, who did you learn this posture from?

I didn't expect that you would become a completely different person after just one week in bed.

"At this moment, Louise opened her eyes wide in surprise and said in disbelief.

"Eh...

really?

I don't know either.

"Anyway, my mind is a complete mess right now, and it doesn't seem like I have a clear plan at all.

"In that case, Your Highness, please forgive me for attacking first.

Actually, I want to say that the sword technique that suddenly came to mind is simply not feasible.

"After saying that, Louise unleashed her powerful sword energy without saying another word, then stomped her foot forward and charged towards me at an incredible speed.

Honestly, she's already at least 60% of her strength, if not 50%.

But if you want her to unleash 80% or even 90% of her strength, you'll have to force her with your own power.

Huh?

How could I know so clearly?

Never mind...

if I keep overthinking, I might just get chopped up.

At that moment, before anyone could react, Louise was already standing in front of me.

Then, without saying a word, she immediately brandished the wooden sword in her hand.

It's clear that although she didn't use her full strength this time, she took her fight with me very seriously.

And if this blow were to hit, the body would definitely be covered in bruises.

Therefore, I absolutely cannot let her hit me.

Because I'm afraid of pain!

I'm terrified of pain!!

So, without realizing it, I started taking small, quick steps, and my eyes were fixed on her every move.

That's right, even the slightly faked movements, I saw them all.

The next moment, Louise indeed used a feint.

She originally intended to swing her weapon at me, but then she raised it high and thrust it towards my head.

Since I saw her attack clearly, it was quite easy for me to dodge it.

So I tilted my head slightly and dodged her powerful stab.

Sure enough, Louise was very strong.

In an instant, I seemed to see several strands of my silver hair being cut off because I couldn't dodge in time.

If I were hit in the head, I could very well be unconscious for several hours.

However, if Louise were to launch an attack like that, she would likely stop abruptly and wouldn't actually hit my head.

But that would hurt a lot too.

Because, in my memory, I've been hit on the head so many times...

Just as I dodged her attack, she suddenly froze for some reason.

It took her a long time to recover before a smile appeared on her face.

"Your Highness, you were able to see through my feint and dodge my attack this time.

It was truly beautiful.

"When Louise realized that her attack had missed, she immediately and decisively jumped back, creating distance between us.

Then, she couldn't help but give me very high praise.

Honestly, I've rarely been praised by Louise like this, and this time, you can really see that she's speaking from the bottom of her heart.

"Since Your Highness has somehow become stronger, I must be a little more serious.

So Your Highness, you may suffer some minor physical pain, which you must endure.

"At this moment, Louise resumed her attack stance, and this time, I could clearly feel the sword energy emanating from her body.

It seemed that it would be quite difficult to dodge her attacks as easily as before.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Quick Thinking Rescue – Obtaining a Book from LouiseHowever, my sudden increase in strength was indeed somewhat unexpected even to myself.

Honestly, if it were a normal day, I would definitely be hit by this attack, and I would probably be sent flying.

But today, I easily avoided it.

Pure coincidence?

That's simply impossible.

It seems I have truly become stronger.

However, it seems like this is the first time I've ever seen Louise unleash her sword aura to such an extent.

This suggests that she has now increased her strength to about 70% or even close to 80%.

But how could I possibly estimate it so clearly...?

Could it be that I dueled with her at some point...?

Ugh, the more I think about it, the more my head aches.

Gradually, I could see that Louise's body was surrounded by a power similar to that of Xiaobai, like a blood curse.

It seems that she is now using sword energy and magic enhancement.

It seems that I also need to deal with her more seriously.

Then, in the next second, I was stunned.

Because after she took a step forward, a huge crater appeared in the ground.

Then, he and her terrifying aura vanished completely.

"Eh……"Who would have thought that Louise also had the ability to conceal her murderous intent and swordsmanship?

This is too much of a hindrance!

I couldn't help but feel a little flustered, because I never expected her to be this powerful.

However, even if one conceals their presence, it's impossible to completely hide it, because humans are, after all, humans...

At that moment, I took a deep breath and then merged my attention and concentration with the surrounding nature.

Although what I did didn't really make much of a difference, the point is that if a person is truly panicked, they've completely failed.

Just as I closed my eyes and tried to use my sixth sense to locate Louise, I suddenly heard a very faint tinkling sound coming from the ground to my left.

Well, if I'm not mistaken, that's very likely the sound coming from the heavy armor Louise is wearing.

Because I knew that this plate armor must have very big drawbacks.

If she weren't wearing this plate armor, I probably wouldn't have been able to pinpoint her location.

But now, I'm about 70% sure which direction she's coming from.

That's right, it's on the right!

As I spoke, I instantly opened my eyes, and then, without stopping, I took a small step to my left, rotated my body four or five degrees, and forcefully swung the sword in my hand.

Then I heard a very crisp "bang" as wood collided.

I had actually seen through Louise's attack and actually struck her wooden sword with my own.

In an instant, my arm went numb...

as if it no longer belonged to me.

However, I also managed to block a strike from Louise at about 70% of her strength, which is really unbelievable to me.

"This...

Your Highness, when did you become so strong?

"When she saw that I had blocked her attack, she opened her mouth wide in surprise, as if she couldn't believe that I could do such a thing.

"Well...

it's just a rough guess, but Louise, you've already entered my attack range, so you'd better be prepared.

"Seriously, after I blocked her attack, it was right inside my optimal attack range.

Of course, I won't let this opportunity, which might allow me to defeat her, slip by.

In an instant, I quickly readjusted my fighting stance, raised my wooden sword, and with small, quick steps, began to stab at Louise.

Seriously, it happened so fast, my attack was incredibly powerful, it actually grazed her shoulder armor.

That's right, she didn't dodge my attack at all.

Wow, Your Highness is so amazing!

At this moment, Xiaobai probably woke up and watched the entire duel between me and Louise, cheering.
