The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess
Chapter Summary
However, as soon as I stepped out of the banquet hall, I almost bumped into an elderly man holding a scepter and dressed in church attire. However, just as I stepped out of the castle gate and reached the outer gate, intending to exit through the main gate, I discovered that more than twenty soldiers in silver armor were already standing there in neat rows. Actually, people just think I look like the goddess Shitonai; they don't know that I am the offspring of my father, Emperor I, and the godde...
Seeing me leave the soon-to-be-gone scene so quickly, Otoha hurriedly followed.
However, the princess dress is just too long...
so I need to find a way to change into my own clothes.
However, as soon as I stepped out of the banquet hall, I almost bumped into an elderly man holding a scepter and dressed in church attire.
However, the old man had a kind smile on his face and bowed his head respectfully to me.
I still displayed my aristocratic manners to them, and then left without saying anything.
"Your Highness, it's almost time for dinner.
Where are you going?
"Just then, Otoha suddenly caught up with me, looking somewhat bewildered.
Dinner is served at 8 PM, because this number is considered very auspicious in this country.
It seems like my world is the same way...
it's either 6 or 8.
Of that, less than an hour is free time.
"Otoha, who was that old man in church robes just now?
"At this point, I quickly asked him.
"Oh...
he is the current Archbishop of the Church, Collins...
Your Highness, you must be careful of this man.
Don't be fooled by his kind appearance; he is actually a cunning old fox who may turn on you at any time.
""I see……"It's clear that Archbishop Collins doesn't sense any bad intentions at all.
However, one should always be wary of others.
Since Otoha said so, we must be careful with this guy.
Well, you can know a person's face but not their heart.
I wonder what negative impact this will have on me in the future.
"Your Highness, where are you going?
""My friend is still waiting for me in the shopping district...
How should I put it, I'd like to bring her along, is that alright?
""how many people?
""Nine.
"“So many!!!
”After hearing my words, Otoha was also stunned.
"Well, they are basically my servants, my guards, my familiars, and my team members, and they are all loyal to me, so you can rest assured.
"Honestly, I'm embarrassed to say they're all part of my harem.
I'm afraid it might make her think I'm a bit strange.
"Alright then, I'll take you to change your clothes, and then bring your friends over.
"At this moment, Otoha's face showed a hint of helplessness, as if this was a very troublesome matter.
However, Otoha cannot disobey my orders, which is quite advantageous to me.
Because I can send her to do anything at any time, and I know that she is extremely efficient at doing things.
And so, we went back to my room and changed into a more casual princess dress.
Just as I was about to take off the princess crown, Otoha stopped me.
"Eh?
"At that moment, I looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Today is the crowning ceremony, which means...
the crown cannot be removed until midnight today, otherwise it will violate the ancestors' last wishes, and disaster will befall them.
"However, Otoha told me that this princess crown must never be removed.
This really does feel a bit eerie to me...
It's terrifying that removing it will bring disaster.
However, I discovered that Otoha had actually threaded strands of my hair through the holes in the princess's crown.
Goodness, she really didn't want me to take it off.
Fine, I won't pick them then.
After I finished changing all my clothes, I strode quickly out of the room and headed towards the shopping street, to the place Lila and the others had agreed upon.
Chapter Ten: The First Time I've Met Someone Who Wanted to Get Beaten Up...
At first, things went quite smoothly, because only Otoha was closely following behind me.
However, just as I stepped out of the castle gate and reached the outer gate, intending to exit through the main gate, I discovered that more than twenty soldiers in silver armor were already standing there in neat rows.
Then they all knelt down on one knee and blocked my path.
What are these guys doing?
Are they trying to restrict my freedom?
In truth, my strength is such that even the Black Dragon God wouldn't be a match for me, let alone needing these weak soldiers to protect me.
Ha, it's really laughable to me.
"Your Highness, I am Claude, the commander of the Royal Guard.
I have been ordered by His Majesty to lead my men in protecting your safety!
"Indeed, my father, King Yi, went to great lengths.
If I could, I wouldn't even bring Otoha with me...
Not to mention, there were so many Imperial Guard regiments.
Ha, now everyone knows I'm a princess.
In that case, I definitely won't let them follow me.
"Forgive me for refusing.
"At this point, I didn't say much, just refused outright and let them off the hook.
"But, Your Highness, this is an order personally issued by His Majesty the Emperor.
We cannot disobey it.
"Just as I took two steps out, the commander of the Royal Guard, Claude, suddenly ran up to me again and knelt down.
This moment made me feel a little annoyed.
Because I don't want anyone following me at all; if anyone is to follow me, it has to be someone more powerful than me.
So I know exactly how strong Otoha is, but in short, I certainly won't let a man protect me.
Because men, in my opinion, are the most unreliable beings.
Of course, I don't think this guy is any better.
Therefore, I ignored him and quickened my pace to walk out of the royal city gate and head towards the shopping street.
But this guy, like a mangy dog, just wouldn't leave me alone.
"Are you ever going to stop?!
"This made me, who is already impatient and short-tempered, finally lose my temper and explode.
“Your Highness, please calm down.
Unless you can defeat me, I will absolutely follow you.
”"Oh?
Really?
"Since that's the case, and I'm really asking for a beating, then I'll show absolutely no mercy.
Without saying a word, I turned around, raised my leg, and kicked Claude's chest armor with all my might.
He flew out like a ball in a flash.
Then, just like a football going into a goal, I kicked it directly from the outer gate of the castle into the inner gate.
Therefore, the soldiers of the Royal Guard were dumbfounded, because they never expected that I would have such great strength to kick the already formidable Royal Guard commander so far away.
And so, they all went to check on their leader to see if he was alright, and I was finally free.
Then I went to the shopping street with Otoha.
At this moment, Otoha's expression also seemed somewhat unnatural.
It's a pity she kept quiet...
maybe she was afraid of offending me.
"Just say what you have to say.
"Honestly, I also have some dislike for people who like to keep things bottled up inside.
I prefer those who speak their minds, even if it's wrong, like my cute loli Lila-chan with her big golden head.
"Um...
Your Highness, you are really quite strong.
""Oh, really?
Hehe, you flatter me.
After all, I am the daughter of the goddess Shidou, so it's normal for me to be stronger.
""Ah...
you really are the child of His Majesty Emperor I and the goddess Shitonai?!?
"Upon hearing my words, Otoha immediately covered her mouth, revealing a look of utter surprise.
"what.
"I accidentally let it slip...
Actually, people just think I look like the goddess Shitonai; they don't know that I am the offspring of my father, Emperor I, and the goddess Shitonai...
Sigh, it seems that even if we want to smooth things over, it will be quite difficult to do so.
What should I do?
What should I do?
"Haha, no wonder you look so much like the goddess Shitonai in the statues and murals, it turns out it's true...
"Sure enough, this confirms it.
"Hmm...
yes, but don't tell anyone, okay?
Actually, nobody knows.
"
