The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

Straightening his back, the king gestured for his successor to step forward, then looked at the other noble representatives and called out their names one by one.

When all those whose names were called came before him, the king removed the necklace from his neck, and Kishia bowed her head to let her father put it on her.

Haianli spoke in Elvish, his solemn words influencing the surrounding magic, which gathered around everyone as he spoke:

"My child, Kshia Emma, ​​with the descendants of the founders as witnesses, the ancient covenant will continue to you. Are you willing to live for the livelihood of half-elves?"

"I am willing."

"Would you be willing...?"

The necklace emitted light, the contract gradually took shape, and he uttered his final vow:

"In that case, the oath is established. Gentlemen, let us celebrate the birth of our new king!"

He removed the crown from his head and placed it on Kershia's head, handing her the scepter in his hand. The former king, Haimissa Emma, ​​was passing on power to his queen.

Thus, a new king was born.

As if to celebrate with everyone, a shadow suddenly emerged from the shadow of a nobleman, bursting forth with unparalleled speed, and thrust a dagger imbued with chaotic magic at the newly crowned king, Kxia.

A high-ranking assassin has arrived!

As she put down the scepter and felt the strong wind beside her ear, Kishia instinctively closed her eyes. A rough, thin hand was placed on her face, its knuckles quickly turning into flesh.

"Don't worry, your father will protect you until the very end."

boom!

He slammed his left fist at the assassin, and a large amount of shadow wrapped around Haianlissa's arm to mitigate its burst.

The high-ranking assassin who had launched the attack was sent flying backwards. The nobles didn't even realize what had happened before the black rays pierced through the window and flew towards Kexia.

However, the deadly ray did not touch her; an incantation echoed in the throne room, dispelling the magic and neutralizing the ray.

Among the crowd, an elf dressed in noble attire removed his disguise, revealing a raincoat. He glared angrily out the window, meeting the gaze of a high-ranking drow priest from a great distance.

The battle was about to break out. The four high-level warriors who had already appeared began fighting on their own, instantly creating a whirlwind that knocked many people to the ground.

Among those present, only the mid-level professionals could keep up with the movements of the high-level professionals. Maginus watched as they fought around Kercia and raised his hand to signal Brian and himself to take her away.

"Please take immediate refuge and find a way to leave the palace."

Before Kxia could finish speaking, three more assassins, all mid-level professionals, emerged from the commotion among the nobles and charged towards Kxia.

Hyanlissa and Maginus had discussed this situation. The reason they wanted to kill her was because the contract was most vulnerable during the handover. As long as the new king was killed, the drow would have a way to break the ancient contract.

Seeing the assassin rushing towards him, Brian's pupils contracted slightly. Lacking sufficient strength, he stepped forward to block between Kercia and the assassin.

Surprisingly, Maginus appeared before the three assassins without their knowledge. She looked at them calmly, and their daggers immediately struck the girl.

The armor was first pierced at the part hit by the magical weapon, but inside, only the skin bled.

She looked up and spoke, seemingly to someone:

"If you think these few good-for-nothings can succeed in the assassination, then your plan has completely failed."

With her hand on her greatsword, Maginus appeared behind the three assassins, who were instantly cut in half at the waist.

Chapter 425 A Turtle in a Jar

The three corpses on the ground surprised everyone. Maginus, gripping her greatsword, received no response. Her fingers twitched slightly, and she walked forward without looking back.

"Kexia, Brian, come out with me, I'll take you away."

Startled, Kshia relaxed and focused her gaze on the terrified nobles. Seeing that they were unharmed, she couldn't help but smirk.

"I'm sure you've all guessed what happened. Don't worry, once things are completely under control, I'll talk to some people slowly. As for now, listen to my orders and leave this dangerous place. The aftershocks of this high-level battle will kill us!"

"Kishia shouted, feeling helpless. The first thing she did as king was to call for people to run away. Was this a bad start?"

Brian simply carried the princess, or rather, Her Majesty the Queen, on his back and followed Maginot out of the throne room.

Upon arriving outside the palace, the high-ranking beings had already begun their battle, yet none of them appeared beside Kshia, indicating that they too were in a very troublesome situation.

Looking worriedly in her father's direction, Kersia realized that Maginus's premonition had come true.

Even with the hidden Haianlisa, their high-level combat strength is only barely equal.

"Please lead the way, Your Majesty."

Shouts of battle rang out from all directions. The previous plan was proceeding smoothly, and the battle for power and profit around the palace had begun.

Maginus looked to Kercia for advice, but the half-elf queen embraced Brian, her mind racing, and finally made a decision: "Go and join our adventurers!"

She didn't trust anyone else, but the members of her adventure team were the ones who had truly shared life and death with her, and she could completely entrust her back to them.

They located Neko, who was fighting off the demons' attack alongside the other adventurers and guards.

"A demon has appeared, the Endless..."

"We've already contacted the various churches in advance, and they will help cleanse the demons."

Kxia had long considered the possibility of the Drow summoning demons, after all, the Spider Queen's kingdom existed in the bottomless abyss, and K often used demons to carry out evil deeds.

With a plan in place, seeing that Her Majesty the Queen had made ample preparations, Maginos raised her hand to her brow and used her psychic powers to notify Neko to bring everyone over.

Once everyone had gathered, Kxia confirmed their arrival and led them towards the passage, prioritizing getting to a safe place first.

My father is still alive, so all I need to do is live well. There's no need for me to try and carry the burden with my weak and feeble strength.

"Kshia, you're far too weak as a queen. Can a queen who's not even at the mid-level really command respect?"

On the way to escape, Neko couldn't help but complain, and Kxia explained helplessly, "For my age, my current strength is already pretty good, okay?"

Maginus is the anomaly; if her father hadn't been so severely cursed, she wouldn't be on the throne now.

"G (Dream Seven Umbrella O Si Qiu Qi San Si said we can't hide in the secret passage?"

After a certain amount of fighting, they successfully entered the secret passage. The surroundings looked quite clean, making it a good place to hide. This internal strife would only last for one or two days at most, and they could wait until the disaster was over before going out.

"If the enemy wins, we'll be stuck here."

Seeing that everyone else agreed, Kshia had no choice but to explain to some of her simpler-minded companions:

“Right now, I am the most important person in the entire Kingdom of Chrysanthemum. No matter what the Drow elves want to do, if they want to completely unite with the nobles who are preparing to rebel, they will have to kill me and break the covenant of founding the kingdom.”

"As long as I live, the open armies of those nobles and lords, as well as the powerful professionals under their command, must not be touched, otherwise they will be plagued by an extremely severe curse."

Moreover, this curse is applied continuously and cannot be dispelled with ordinary magic.

She demonstrated the importance of herself as king, serving as an anchor point, although this anchor point is currently easily broken.

"Three days. The contract will be transferred to me and will be fully integrated in three days. At that time, even if they kill me, they will not be able to break the contract. The contract will randomly go to someone with Emma's royal bloodline. It is definitely not fixed."

Emerging from the secret passage, the group followed Kshia's directions towards the safe house. The streets were in complete chaos, with residents either running towards the temple or locking themselves in their homes, too afraid to move.

They were able to enter the safe house without any hindrance, but before they could even go inside, Magneto stopped and turned to look around, her pupils slightly contracted.

"what happened?"

Kercia noticed the girl's subtle change. Maginus didn't answer, but instead said to her, "Let the others go out and gather information. Neko, you go out with them."

“G~”

Just as the cat was about to complain, Kxia's little finger trembled slightly, and she began to instruct the other members of the adventure group to leave in different directions, leaving only Maginus, Kxia, and Brian standing in front of the safe point.

Brian finally realized the problem, gripped his longsword, and looked around. While he was still wondering where the enemy was, Maginus spoke up:

"Stop looking. Most of them are more than 5,000 meters away. There are some who are specifically there to hinder us. Kshia, have you been targeted by some kind of prophecy or something?"

"What!?"

Five kilometers away?

The two stared wide-eyed as clapping echoed from the alley. A woman in a belted leather armor emerged, brandishing a snake-headed whip, and stared at Maginus as if trying to discern her origins.

"Impressive. I didn't expect your perception range to be five thousand meters. Miss Ilsis, the detective from Red Sparrow City, you're quite strong."

"Carol Sandri!? You're from the noble side?"

Upon seeing the woman appear, Kishia called out her name with a grim expression.

She was the wife of a deceased count in the Kingdom of Chrysanthemum. The count was a member of the royal party, so Carol, as the countess, was once considered a member of the royal party. However, as the count's power gradually weakened, she slowly faded from everyone's sight.

“No,” Maginus denied for her, lightly flicking his greatsword, “she must be a follower of the Spider Queen. I smell the stench of the abyss on her.”

Carol sneered as she pulled open her chest, revealing a spider tattoo that slithered across it, while Maginus continued to explain:

"The reason I say the enemies are all more than 5,000 meters away is because they are scattered in a ring along the edge of the entire capital. They will only approach you, Kshia, after the battle begins."

"Yes."

Carol didn't mind talking to them a bit more; after all, they were already trapped.

"When I discovered that all the Dark Elves had been killed, I became suspicious. I suspected that someone could detect races, and that the detection range was extremely large. When you returned, more people died, so I turned my attention to you, Miss Ilsis."

Chapter 426 The High-Ranking Official Came Out

“To ensure His Majesty Kshia cannot escape, I have to take everything into account. Since you are suspected of having strong detection capabilities, I will scatter people on the outskirts of the capital and let them slowly gather together when you escape.”

"As you can see, this way no one will bother us. You know those low-level adventurers can't be of much help, so we drove them away, right?"

Carol smiled. "Or did you want to see if anyone would come after them? Unfortunately, it turned out you were disappointed."

“That’s right,” Maginus nodded, his muscles twitching as he gathered strength. “Everyone is focused on only one target, Kercia. They seem to have been given a death order.”

"Even if the two low-level ones run, they can't run fast. You still have a chance to escape the encirclement."

And don't even think about escaping using teleportation. After all, your four elven mages specifically activated a magic circle to completely seal off the entire capital city in order to prevent our mages from using teleportation to approach you."

Carol pointed out a finger to warn him, actually because she couldn't see through Maginus's strength and wanted to eliminate this unexpected presence as soon as possible.

The girl didn't answer, but instead said to the nervous Kxia, "Cast the longest possible bouncy ball spell to envelop both of you, quickly."

Without asking why, knowing that she could only follow Maginus's instructions, Kercia immediately released the bouncy magic ball to protect her and Brian inside.

This time, the bouncy ball could last for a full three hours. Maginos raised her hand and patted the outside of the ball, gently pushing it.

Unsure of what the girl was planning, Carol, who had been brimming with confidence, hesitated for a moment, instinctively taking a step back out of fear, though her smile remained.

"What, if you want to kill me, I can at least hold out for a while without dying."

"I know killing you is pointless, so I'm not planning to kill you. I just suddenly felt like playing ball."

Muttering incomprehensible words, Maginus lightly tapped the orb again, her hand gripping the greatsword slightly twisting as she looked at Kercia's abdomen:

"Kexia, Brian, be careful not to vomit. You should be glad the Moon Goddess didn't play a little joke on you beforehand, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to do this and would have had to defend you to the death."

Why was the goddess of the moon suddenly mentioned?

Kercia looked at Maginus, who was full of riddles today, and it was really hard to guess what she was thinking. But Maginus's next move, turning around, bending down, and aiming her sword, finally made everyone present know what she was going to do.

"stop!"

Carol shouted but dared not step forward, fearing that Maginus would kill her with a single sword strike. Unaffected, the girl aimed at the bouncy orb and slashed upwards with all her might.

The entire sphere flew straight up, hurtling into the air at an extremely high speed!

The person inside the bouncy sphere is unaffected, but the sphere itself can be moved. So the answer is simple: treat it like a ball and it's easy to get it out, especially for Maginus with the greatsword.

Watching the bouncy orb fly into the air, Maginus glanced back at Xerxes, kicked up rocks, chased after the orb, and launched another attack.

An unexpected situation arose, and Carol's expression became even more ferocious. She took a deep breath to suppress her anger and chased after him, hoping that the soldiers assigned there could hold off the main force for a while.

There are intermediate-level troops in every direction, which is why the troops are actually scattered.

The almost transparent bouncy ball kept "flying" in the air. Kercia looked down, swallowed, reached out to help Brian, her face a little pale, obviously not used to the feeling of floating.

Inside the elastic sphere, they are unaffected and do not feel any gravity issues, but the psychological factors are enough to frighten them.

Maginus leaped and knocked the sphere away, using it to propel the two forward quickly. The pursuers, sensing something was wrong, sped up, but most of them were still much slower than her.

After a while, she spotted the enemy hiding in the crowd trying to stop her, and used her hands to support the bottom of the ball and forcefully threw it into the air.

The bouncy ball flew outwards at an angle, and if left unattended, it would probably travel more than a hundred meters. At this moment, Maginus stepped onto a building, jumped up, and swung her sword at the bouncy ball again.

This time it was more than a hundred meters away. As the bouncy magic ball was knocked away, the hidden enemies popped their heads out and jumped into the air to try to stop it. Some mages even used wind wall spells to block it.

With both feet on the ground, the girl aimed at the three jumping figures and stepped forward with her right foot, her life force crystallizing beneath her to create a more stable platform.

Appearing at the side of the bouncy orb from an enormous distance, the warriors who raised their hands to try to block the orb had their pupils constrict. They unleashed a flurry of movements, then withdrew their hands and drew their swords to defend themselves, only to be knocked back to the ground by all three of them.

With the obstacles temporarily eliminated, Maginus had no time to deal with them. She then hit the bouncy ball again, giving her a speed boost, and successfully passed through the obstacle.

The capital was vast, and on her journey, Maginus casually sent a message to Neko, asking her to gather the others who had scattered and meet up with the three of them outside the city gate.

It wasn't just Kexia's uncle and cousin who came from the Yulan Cult; a large group of people were currently outside the city, and going there would ensure their safety.
