The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

Seeing this, Maginos raised her hand and patted her horse's head, dismounting from the horse that was about to fall. She looked up at the sky, gesturing for her master and servant to come closer.

"Let's rest here today, a little away from the road."

"Oh, so it's finally time to start camping and making a fire? I've never tried it before; I've only heard about these adventures in bards' stories."

Brian's eyes lit up. According to his original life trajectory, as a princess's attendant, he would stay in the city with Kercia, so he would not need to learn about the wilderness.

Unfortunately, an unexpected situation occurred. If they hadn't encountered Maginus, they would probably have had to rely on Kercia to set fire to the place with her flaming arrows in the middle of nowhere.

The half-elf girl nodded with a curious expression, while Maginus shook his head and said, "No need for camping. Have you forgotten that I have something better?"

Something better...

Recalling their first meeting, Brian remembered the house that had suddenly disappeared, which he had forgotten about because so many things had happened.

"Miss Ma... Miss Ilsis, can you build the same house again?"

As a mage, Kersia raised a question: based on the information she had obtained, Maginus was not a mage either, and she was very curious as to why he was able to build a house.

"An item I obtained from a powerful mage."

Without much explanation, Maginus pulled out the building pillar and plunged it into the soil, causing the ground to rumble and magic to converge towards them from all directions.

The first thing to rise is the force field shield, which makes it impossible to see the inside from the outside; things within the force field are invisible.

Then, magic gathered at an extremely fast speed, and a delicate, even somewhat large, house gradually took shape around them, completely enveloping the four of them.

Maginos snapped her fingers: "Neko."

"Received~~".

The cat responded lazily, raised its paw and pressed a button on the wall. The pitch-black house was filled with dazzling light, so bright that Brian and Kercia couldn't open their eyes.

After their eyes adjusted to the light, they were able to see the house clearly. A two-story villa appeared before them, complete with sofas, tables, chairs, and beds.

"Luxury Home Techniques!?"

Kshia exclaimed in surprise, her first thought being the mansion spell, which could only be cast by top-tier high-level mages.

Chapter 366 Stomach Incompatibility

"Take a closer look."

Maginus responded by going to the dining table and fumbling in her dimensional bag to retrieve food, indicating she had no intention of cooking for herself.

After exclaiming in surprise, Kshia remembered that the mansion spell was not built on the prime material plane, but rather created an independent space. Moreover, this house had no servants or food conjured by magic.

It must be a variant of Gerdta's spell, but it was enough to surprise Kxia.

"Hurry up and eat. We have to travel tomorrow morning. Emma, ​​my suggestion is that you try to exercise by yourself, walk on your own and don't let Brian carry you, until you are completely exhausted."

He handed the brick-shaped flatbread to the two people opposite him. Neko picked up the flatbread with some disgust, kept licking it, and bit down hard to make the hard flatbread make a sound.

Is this pancake really edible?

Kxia held the cake, looking around, and tried to bite it off with her teeth for a long time, but couldn't get a piece off.

If it's too tough to chew, soak it in water to soften it.

Seeing this, Maginus took out a water bottle from her dimensional bag and tossed it to the half-elf. She took the bottle, heated it, and poured it onto the cake. It expanded and grew at a visible speed, soon requiring both of Xer's hands to hold it.

Taking a careful bite, the bland and tasteless flatbread made the princess, who had tasted all sorts of delicacies, frown.

It tastes awful.

This was Kexia's first impression of the pancakes: the flour was coarse and incredibly dry. Her second impression was that they were very filling; after eating only a few small pieces, she felt completely full and couldn't eat anything else.

The half-elf princess didn't throw a tantrum. She rubbed her belly and looked at the others, only to find that she was the only one who couldn't get used to the food. Maginus and Neko stuffed the biscuits directly into their mouths, and even Brian was wolfing them down.

"Eat this."

Seeing that Kercia really couldn't eat, Maginus, who was familiar with human anatomy, took out honey bread from his dimensional bag and handed it to her to take care of her delicate stomach.

The translucent yellow honey dripped down, and the half-elf, who had just eaten the brick-shaped bread, took a bite with a face full of happiness and smiles. She had never felt that ordinary honey bread could taste so delicious.

After finishing her meal, Maginus cleared the table and spread out a huge map, radiating outwards from the Kingdom of Julan. She looked up at Kxia, who was taking small bites of bread:

"So, where is the Orchid Grove?"

Kshia explained the situation vaguely, raised his hand and pointed to the location of the capital on the map, drawing downwards until he left the territory of Julan Kingdom and pointed to a nearby country.

That was a country called Moshika, or the Land of Music for short. The gods they worshipped were mostly of the pleasure and peace type, such as the goddess of springs, the goddess of nobility, and the god of music.

But its strength is not weak; the Bard Academy is located there.

Moshika is far from Nesery and did not participate in the coalition. Maginus has no enemies there unless someone is sent as an envoy to that country.

Well, it's relatively safe. The only danger now is how to get the two of them out of the Kingdom of Julan. She can change her appearance, but they can't.

"Kshia, do you know the transformation technique?"

"No, I didn't learn it. I put all my talent points into Evocation spells."

The half-elf shook his head awkwardly, indicating that he was only good at powerful, brick-throwing attack spells.

After rummaging through her several dimensional bags, she realized that Maginus didn't have enough transformation scrolls left, so she would probably have to be even more careful on her journey.

“Judging by the time,” Maginus said, opening the window to look at the bright moon, “your enemies, my adversaries, should have already realized that something is amiss.”

……

At the same time, in the capital of the Kingdom of Julan, in a noble mansion, the united nobles of the country gathered together, all with displeased expressions.

"The princess hasn't been found yet, and there's been no news of the cavalry either. It's so late, we can be pretty sure they won't be coming back, right?"

One of them asked a question; his figure was somewhat blurry, clearly indicating that he was sitting there via a projection.

"There were only two of them. How did they escape... Damn it, we can't expose the fake princess's identity yet. Otherwise, according to the contract, if she's still alive, we'll have to drop everything and find her."

The noise was somewhat chaotic. The people sitting around the round table made it impossible to discern their social status. One of them raised his hand and lightly tapped the table. As cultured nobles, they stopped talking and looked at the tapper.

"No matter what, we must find our princess, our future queen, for our own sake, isn't it? The amendment of the law and the contract must include her."

"The only place she might seek help from now is the Orchid Forest. We can't let her escape from the Chrysanthemum Orchid Kingdom. Let's block off the nearby roads and send people to look for her."

"What if she circles around in a coat, like a neighbor, and goes to another location?"

Just as everyone was about to start arguing again, a nobleman coughed and said, "Gentlemen, have you forgotten that there is a profession called a prophet?"

The atmosphere calmed down, even becoming somewhat awkward, as most people had indeed forgotten the convenient prophetic technique due to their emotions.

"Alright then, let's divide the work and bring Ksia Emma back as soon as possible. Oh, and Brian, who's with her, needs to be alive too."

"Hehe, I'm sure our princess wouldn't want her knight to suffer because of her."

Everyone started laughing, as if they had everything under control.

They're just a low-level warrior and a low-level mage; where can they possibly run to?

"Speaking of which, haven't you and your uncle ever communicated using magic?"

"It's always my uncle who contacts me. He's rarely contacted my father since my mother died."

After eating and drinking their fill and chatting for a while, Kercia, who had been jostled on horseback all day, squinted, her head throbbing with fatigue. Maginus didn't ask any further questions.

The four of them prepared to lie down and rest. There were plenty of rooms, so there was no need to worry about several people sharing a room.

However, Kxia looked regretful, as if she really wanted to live with her knight. They probably had feelings for each other, but it's unclear whether they've confirmed it or made it public.

Brian is neither human nor half-elf, but a pure elf. Judging from his vitality, he doesn't appear to be old, but his mental age is definitely that of an adult.

As for Kercia, half-elves reach adulthood around the same time as humans, only "a little" in the evening, so she is at most in her thirties.

Their relationship reminded Maginos of the past; she curled her lip slightly, not intending to concern herself with other people's private affairs, while Neko, as usual, threw herself onto her back.

"Master, I want to sleep with you~!"

The two pressed their cheeks together intimately. Kercia and Brian speculated about their relationship, while the princess glanced at the boy, seemingly lost in thought.

Chapter 367 High-Pressure Training

At dawn, Maginus opened her eyes, pushed away Neko who was hugging her, dressed, and came out of the room. She glanced at the room where Brian was sleeping, walked outside to breathe in the fresh air, and with a light flick of her arm, the heavy greatsword landed in her palm.

He spun around with the giant sword, the violent movements creating strong winds all around, and the sound gradually grew louder inside the barrier.

Just as she was about to unleash a powerful strike, she suddenly gripped the greatsword tightly and exerted force in the opposite direction, regaining her footing before swinging the sword with brute force.

With progress in psychic abilities, Maginus's foundation has also been strengthened. Anti-psychic fields must be guarded against; if psychic abilities fail to take effect, he will have to rely on swordsmanship and direct combat.

The three who were still sleeping were gradually awakened by the howling wind. Brian was the first to come out, with a look of panic and joy on his face. When he saw Maginus, his face became a little embarrassed.

Neko and Kercia came out almost at the same time, and Miss Cat immediately noticed that the princess had actually come out of Brian's room.

With her eyes narrowed and lips curled into a three-lobed shape, Neke leaned closer and said, "So that's the kind of relationship you and Brian have. I thought the stories of bards, knights, and princesses were just a hoax."

“I had a nightmare last night, so I went to find Brian to go with me.”

Kercia waved her hand in embarrassment, but Neko patted her shoulder without any respect, pretending to know everything: "I know, I know."

While the two were talking, Maginus had already swung his greatsword at Brian, wanting to test his strength. Upon seeing this, the boy quickly rolled backward and drew his longsword from his back, ready to fight.

“Mr. Brian,” Maginus casually swung the greatsword, its weight nothing to him, “I’ll test your current strength.”

"…I'm ready."

Brian was also curious about the true strength of the legendary Slaughter Goddess. There were many rumors, and some bards even said that she had become a legend and was eventually sealed away by a group of legends.

A moment of distraction brought back memories of a story he had heard. Suddenly, a tremendous force struck, and Brian clearly felt his ribs break. He coughed and flew backward, rolling out of the force field and crashing into a tree.

After crashing through four or five trees, it finally came to a stop, and then Kercia cried out in alarm, "Brian!"

"Alright, alright, Kxia, your little lover won't die. My master can infuse him with life force."

"It's not good to get distracted during a battle." Although I often get distracted myself.

Magnis reminded him, noticing the elven boy's distraction, she went up and slammed her greatsword down like a door, simultaneously striking Brian and injecting her life force into him.

Brian, who had confirmed that he had a fracture, didn't understand why Maginus would do this. Wouldn't it be harder for him to train if he was injured?

He looked up, wincing in pain, and met the girl's gaze. Maginus understood from his eyes what he wanted to say, but simply pointed to his broken ribs:

"Check it again more carefully."

Brian endured the pain and touched his abdomen, only to be astonished to find that the pain was merely a hallucination caused by the fracture; the ribs had already been repaired.

"don’t worry."

A terrifying aura rose from Maginot's body as she slowly approached, putting immense pressure on Brian: "I can heal you no matter how many injuries you have, even broken arms and legs, as long as the broken parts haven't been completely lost."

She herself could regenerate limbs because Maginus was very familiar with her own body, but she couldn't do that to others; at most, she could reattach their severed limbs.

Knowing he was likely to get a beating, Brian focused intently on Maginus and chose to take the initiative.

"How do we get in, ugh~~."

Some time had passed since the battle, and Brian, who had just finished fighting Maginus, felt sore all over as he pressed his arm. Maginus had only repaired his body, but had not restored it to its full condition.

The four of them have now arrived near a city. Kxia says she wants to go into the Magic Association and check with the royal party in the capital to see what's going on.

A half-elf and an elf didn't attract much attention in the Kingdom of Chrysanthemum, but they were still worried about being discovered if they didn't change their appearance.

In the forest, some distance from the city, Maginus considered for a moment, rummaged through her dimensional bag, took out some cosmetic items, and looked at the two:

"Put your faces here, and I'll give you some special magic."

Although she didn't have to do her own makeup when she was a princess, she had still learned some makeup skills. Maginus used makeup products to apply and outline makeup on the two of them, and adjusted Xia's originally exquisite hairstyle.

She let her hair down to cover her slightly round cheeks, drew scars on Brian's face, and tried to make them look unlike herself.

"Alright, take a look for yourself."

He took out a small mirror and tossed it to the two of them. Brian and Kercia looked up and immediately began to doubt their reflections.

Who else could it be but this person?

Kercia has become a somewhat gloomy country girl with freckles near her nose, while Brian has become a scarred and fierce young elf, his once handsome face gone.

"It's time to go. Your nobles probably don't have enough manpower to defend every city. Just be careful."

After speaking, Maginus emerged from the woods, and the three quickly followed. As the leader, she continued to give instructions and assign tasks:

"I'll rent a carriage later and check if there's any news. Once you two come out of the Magic Association, just wait nearby as much as possible."

As fugitives, the princess and knight, even without experience with Maginus, knew the gravity of the situation, and they quickly nodded to indicate that they had remembered.

Upon entering the city of Maginus, whose name they were too lazy to remember, the four of them split up and headed to different places. Brian asked about the location of a branch of the Adventurers' and Mage Guild they passed by, and quickly found the location and went inside to use communication magic.

Since the journey to the Kingdom of Julan had just begun, everything went smoothly. Maginus bought the carriage without any trouble. She drove the carriage and stopped near the Mage's Association to wait. The greatsword she carried on her back also made people dare not get too close to her.
