The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

Bishop Hope nodded: "That's right, I will secretly send people to investigate, and I will notify you immediately if there is any need for your assistance."

Looking at the two paladins before him, he confirmed that they were not the kind of greenhorns who had just started out, and that their oaths leaned towards good rather than order.

After hesitating for a while, Hope tapped on the desk and gestured for them to come closer:

"In fact, the church is currently trying to make some changes, and we have quietly recruited some righteous thieves into the church."

“They are not the order, but they are still good. This is to increase manpower and to ensure that they do not go astray, so that they can atone for their sins of theft.”

“Red Sparrow City is a testing ground, and now…”

As they listened, Kent and Wright's expressions grew increasingly serious, and they repeatedly assured Hope that they would keep quiet.

Currently, on the continent of Kenoyel, the laws of most countries are extremely strict against those who offend nobles. In their eyes, so-called righteous thieves are merely petty thieves who steal their property.

If caught, the consequences range from having their hands or feet severed to being completely destroyed.

As for nobles, they would not be severely punished for oppressing commoners; they could simply pay a sum of money to absolve themselves of their sins.

It is clear that the Good Church is very dissatisfied with the current laws regarding what constitutes evil and harsh punishments.

Obeying the law is important, but violating the law is not. This is the most important first lesson for the paladins. It seems that the church intends to give thieves with lesser sins a chance.

The church is not outdated. In a world where there is a true God, although good churches may encounter various problems, as long as they are not destroyed, they will eventually return to the right path and guide the world in a positive direction.

Chapter 277 Even a God Can't Save You

Five days after meeting the succubi.

Majinusma raised her hand to support the drowsy wildcat's head, gently pressing her fingers on its head, preparing for the final treatment.

After her tireless efforts day and night, only the last part of the psionic clumping remained, which was also the most difficult part to deal with.

Handling the core of a clump requires extreme care; otherwise, it can result in anything from brain damage to death.

Maginus used his own psionic energy fluctuations to soothe her internally beforehand, holding her in his arms and plunging her into a state of confusion.

Having confirmed the emotional and psychological state of both parties, Maginus immediately closed her eyes, contracted her psionic energy fluctuations, adjusted the frequency, and channeled it towards the last wisp of the core with short, dense bursts.

When the vibration struck the psionic core, the intense pain caused Neko to scream with wide eyes, her hands flailing wildly as she tried to run away from the girl's embrace.

However, she was firmly locked in place by Maginot's legs and had no way to escape. She could only keep tearing at her cloth armor and the ground with her clipped fingernails, causing blood to flow from them.

The last remaining core shattered bit by bit under the violent impact, and the moment it completely collapsed, the violent soul energy was released with a roar!

Zi la la!

A large amount of electricity flashed and jumped outwards from the girl. Maginus, who was closest to her, was the first to be hit. Although she was prepared, she still suffered a lot of damage when the electricity hit her.

Moreover, these currents also impacted the internal organs, though to a lesser degree than the girl's injuries.

The floor, wooden furniture, and wooden pillars were all stained with black marks left by lightning. Maginus raised his hand to look at his palm, which was covered in scars, and hugged Neko, who had been electrocuted and was unconscious in front of him.

Life force surged, and the non-fatal injuries were quickly healed. Maginus raised her hand to touch the wildcat's cheek and gently bit her neck.

Compared to his previous emaciated appearance, the slave, who had been in her hands for nearly a month, had finally gained some weight, and his sallow cheeks and dull fur had gradually regained their luster.

With the release of her psionic energy, Neko, who was previously just an ordinary girl, became beautiful.

After nuzzling the unconscious stray cat, Maginus threw her back into the basement, glanced at the time, and left his house.

The wealthy businessman has stopped pursuing the matter. The money he has spent to get the house back is estimated to be almost more than the money he could earn in the next year or two after getting the house back.

That tightwad lives up to his name; he cut his losses pretty quickly.

"Next, I must go to the theater where the murder is about to take place," Maginus thought to herself, as she strode toward the opera house in Cardinal City.

Four days ago, the man who was seduced by the succubus handed her a letter that stated that the Bloodstained Society had a very important operation at the opera house today.

Maginus decided to try to sabotage their plans; if that failed, killing a few more people would be perfectly acceptable—he would adapt to the situation.

"Have you heard? Miss XX will be participating in this performance."

"Really? We'll have to check then. I wonder if I brought enough money with me. Wait a minute..."

Amid the noisy crowd in front of the theater, the locals around him were discussing the matter. Maginus, who was from out of town, had never heard of these local actors and bards, so he mingled in the crowd and kept moving forward with the procession.

Upon arriving at the ticket office and buying her ticket, Maginus discovered that in addition to idle merchants and commoners, there were also some adventurers inside.

Adventurers are actually interested in opera?

After entering the dimly lit theater with her ticket, she found her seat. To Maginos's left was an old man, and to her right was a woman wearing cheap perfume.

This woman was clearly there to see a celebrity; her excitement was palpable, and she seemed to be muttering the name of a certain male actor.

Turning her gaze away, the girl looked up at the less crowded seats on the second floor and the several private boxes on the third floor, finally fixing her eyes on the third private box on the right.

According to the envelope, that was the Bloodstained Society's key target, who appeared to be a local nobleman from Red Sparrow City named Lauta.

There are four major families in Red Sparrow: Lauta, Holly, Jackson, and Frye. These families were prominent in the early days of Red Sparrow's founding and are said to have existed for about three or four hundred years.

The four major families were in cahoots, and their rule in Red Sparrow City was deeply entrenched. In addition, they had kinship ties with some major powers.

Everything indicates that the four families are specifically maintaining a balance in Redbird City, and as long as there are no major fluctuations that disrupt this balance, their rule over Redbird City can continue for a very long time.

Recalling the information she had discovered, Maginus quietly released her life force outwards, and her senses gradually spread outwards.

Just as she was about to peek into the private room, the magic on the walls of the room blocked her view, and the image became somewhat blurry, making it difficult to see more than four people.

Judging from their vitality, two of them are theater waiters, while the other two are quite capable, probably a young master and a bodyguard.

How are the Bloodstained Society members planning to assassinate him and cause chaos?

Upon reconfirming the situation, the majority of people in the theater were merchants, a small number of commoners with spare money, some adventurers, and very few nobles.

The nobleman on the head was there for an actress, and was prepared to spend a fortune to make her famous.

Actors and dancers were mostly just playthings of the nobility. When they were in a good mood, they would promote them and let their social circles come and see their toys.

When you're unhappy, just kick it away. If you're lucky, you might stay popular for a while; if you're unlucky, you're doomed.

Unless one can master some different skills, or become a spellcaster like a bard, it is difficult to escape the status of a plaything.

The girl, who was guessing what was going on, suddenly sensed that someone in the heavily monitored private room was experiencing a fluctuation in life force and becoming excited.

She turned to look at the stage, where the beautiful actress, dressed in a white dress, walked out from behind the curtain, gracefully danced to the center of the stage, and began to sing.

He really came for his lover.

Having confirmed this, Maginus strongly suspected that the Bloodstained Society members had infiltrated the theater's staff, and that even the lead actress might be one of their people or being controlled by them.

If the assassination was truly planned, then Maginus could only say that he couldn't be of any help.

After that, she can collect the young master's body. His parents will definitely want to find the murderer, and at that time, she can help find the murderer as a wandering knight and detective.

Abandoning the rescue plan, the girl began to enjoy the opera, feeling a long-lost sense of joy.

When the long opera ended, the people in the box immediately left and walked along a side path to the back of the opera house. Maginus knew then that the Bloodstained Society's target was probably not going to make it.

Chapter 278 Getting Back on Your Feet

The young master targeted by the Bloodstained Society went to his death behind the scenes, and Maginus couldn't save him. So she simply turned around and left through the main gate, intending to quietly wait for things to develop before searching for the murderer.

Back home, she opened the basement door and found the wildcat sitting calmly on the bed, a thoughtful expression in its eyes. When it saw Maginus approaching, it looked delighted, as if it had been completely tamed by her.

The girl caught Neko as it pounced on her, raised her hand to stroke its cheek, and rubbed her own cheek against it, deciding to get two things done today.

One approach is to deepen her impression of me and her subconscious "beastly" attraction through physical contact before she has a basic understanding of humanity.

Another thing is to gradually teach her to speak and learn basic common sense, since she was mentally challenged before and needs to start learning from scratch.

However, after the psychic energy clots in her brain are dealt with, there shouldn't be too much to worry about regarding her intelligence. In addition, the soul connection will allow her to quickly fill in the gaps in her common sense.

Looking down at the seemingly docile wildcat in her arms, Maginus ran her fingers up and down along Neko's skin.

Only at such close range could she slightly influence the flow of life force within Neike's body.

Wildcat immediately sensed a strange restlessness rising within her. A desire she had never felt before made her reach out and wrap her arms around Maginos's waist, rubbing her body against the leather armor.

With a blank expression, Maginus watched the cat's face gradually turn red, arousing her desire. Then he pushed her away and left the room, leaving her in the basement meowing incessantly. He would deal with her later.

From now until evening, Maginus will train on the ground for an hour before returning to the basement to tease Neko.

The wildcat, who knew nothing and acted only on instinct, couldn't stand it any longer. As she reached out to follow her desires, Maginus quickly tied her to a chair with a rope, rendering her completely immobile.

Go every hour, go every hour...

The initially high-spirited screams gradually subsided amidst the continuous chirping. The brown-haired girl kept rubbing her palm against hers, her eyes, which seemed to drip with water, casting a longing gaze at Maginus, while her heterochromatic pupils completely relaxed.

As she met Neko's gaze, Maginus felt a surge of satisfaction.

To be looked up to, to look down on others, to control the body, to conquer the mind...

She raised her hand to touch Neko's throat, slowly tightening her grip before regaining her senses and releasing it, then leaving the basement once more.

……

As evening fell, Maginus, having fully completed her training, opened her eyes and removed her armor in front of the full-length mirror in her bedroom, leaving her only in her underwear. She glanced at her current body, her face and hair color returning to normal.

"call……"

She let out a long breath and walked to the basement. Inside, she kept rubbing her legs together. The rope showed some signs of charring. When she saw the girl who looked the same as before, she immediately made a fierce expression towards this stranger.

However, upon sniffing, she discovered it still smelled like the same "powerful one," so she could quickly change her expression and whimper in a very charming tone, like a little animal longing for its master's affection.

Maginus went to cut the ropes binding her. As soon as the ropes broke, the wildcat pounced on Maginus, whom she saw as "powerful," and, succumbing to her animalistic instincts, pressed her mouth directly against him.

Holding the brown-haired girl in his arms, Maginus kneaded her thighs and led her to the wooden tub filled with water, preparing to take a bath first.

He gently rubbed the stray cat's body with both hands, while Nei Ke just followed his instincts and kept rubbing against the girl's body, completely unaware of why he couldn't get rid of the heat in his body.

No matter what she did, she couldn't solve the problem and could only look to Maginos, hoping this powerful being could treat her "ailment."

The girl wasn't in a hurry at all. Maginos had no feelings for Neko, the slave she had bought, and didn't even consider her a pet.

She wanted to keep her firmly on her side, both physically and mentally.

After giving the stray cat a bath, Maginus lifted her out and dried her off most of her body, while also cleaning herself up. The preparations were now complete.

He threw her onto the bed, and the girl looked down to meet Nei Ke's gaze. She leaned down and pressed herself close to Nei Ke...

"Meow~~"

The meowing and the sucking sensation on her skin woke Maginus from her sleep. Neko, who had been hiding under the covers, was now lying on top of Maginus.

After almost a night, Maginus had unlimited energy. She didn't expect that Neko, who was like a beast, would also last for a long time. Except for replenishing water in between, she hardly stopped, which caused her to fall asleep quickly after she finished.

Peeking out from under the covers, the wildcat nuzzled the girl's chest with its cheek. Judging from its expression, it was clear that the wildcat was not yet satisfied, and its body had almost recovered thanks to Maginus using her life force.

It wasn't until midday that Maginus finally had a moment to rest her forehead against Neko's, who was beaming with satisfaction.

It's time to try a soul link.

The psychic energy surged directly at Neko's brow. The girl adjusted her psychic energy frequency, gradually aligning with Neko's, and some of her thoughts began to flood into Maginus's mind.

Comfortable, comfortable, comfortable, compliant, comfortable, powerful, comfortable, comfortable, obedient, comfortable, free, food, food...

Most of his thoughts were incoherent and he had almost no desire to escape. At the same time, he was quite compliant with the girl.

Her current emotions are still similar to those of a wild animal, but they probably won't be like that anymore after she's been taught common sense and other things.

Embracing Neko, the girl slowly transmitted her emotions and consciousness to her:

Neko, can you hear me?

what sound!

Hearing the sound, the wildcat tried to turn its head, but Maginus held it down, preventing it from moving. The girl continued to respond:

It is I, the "powerful one." Close your eyes and don't move.

Because it was a direct communication of consciousness, Nei Ke understood Maginus's meaning directly, closed her eyes and obediently stopped moving, guided by the girl's psychic energy fluctuations, and fell into a dream.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself on a wide grassland. Neko excitedly ran and jumped until Maginus appeared in her sight.

After only a slight hesitation, the wildcat came to the girl's side and hugged her. Maginus spoke, "Can you understand me?"

"You understand, powerful one!"

She could smile and "say" something, but it was still a connection in her mind; she still couldn't speak.

Maginus nodded, looking at the scene constructed from Neko's dream and Maginus's own impressions, and raised her hand to gently pat it, turning everything into the image of the school where she learned magic.

"Now I'm going to teach you common sense and how to speak as quickly as possible."

The girl cupped Neko's face in her hands and said, "Remember, my name is Maginus, and your name is Neko."

The meaning of the "name" quickly flowed into her mind, and she nodded vigorously, learning from Maginos in her dream.
