The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

With the final blow piercing the last person, Maginus turned, released his grip, and drew his longsword from the hilt, wiping away the bloodstains before sheathing it with a stylish flourish. He then looked up and met Lenia Sylvis's gaze.

"Are you OK."

Maginus asked calmly as the life force of the surrounding corpses was drained, turning to ashes in the sunlight, while the red mist flowed into her body.

Chapter 111 A textbook example of a young lady from a wealthy family?

Wow, so cool... Wait, what happened to their bodies?

Lenia Sylvis shook her head, looking at the vanished corpse, and said, "Ah, I'm alright, thank you for your help..."

Lenia didn't seem to feel anything about the kidnapper's death. After all, she hadn't killed him, and the scene wasn't overly gory thanks to Maginus's control. The young lady even thought, "So this is what murder is like."

"In that case, I'll be going now. A young lady like you should go home as soon as possible. I've only been here a few days and I already feel that Gold and Silver City is in chaos."

Without expressing any desire to travel with her, Maginus, as a former princess, knew how to attract attention. She could tell at a glance that Lenia was the kind of young lady who had no, at least not yet, any sense of responsibility towards her family.

As Maginus, barely suppressing his murderous grin, turned around, he heard the words "Gold and Silver City is in chaos." Lenia immediately became indignant. This was, after all, her hometown. How could they say such a thing?

"Hey, wait a minute, I haven't thanked you yet!"

Lenia ran up to try and stop the girl, but Maginus stopped and turned to look at her: "No need, it's nothing, I still have to do my missions to save money."

Money!? I may not have anything else, but I have plenty of money!

"I'm a young lady, miss... I'd like to hire you to protect me!"

Originally, Lenia wanted to call her "little sister," but after seeing so many people die by her sword and how cool she looked, Lenia ultimately changed her address.

Maginus took a deep breath to calm her smile, pretending that she only stopped when she heard there was money to be had, and turned to look at Lenia: "Let's find a tavern and talk this over carefully, Miss. By the way, my name is Mine."

“My name is… Leahy, just call me Leahy.”

The young lady smiled sweetly, delighted to have met such a kind person. However, she still harbored some wariness towards Maginus, wondering if he had any ill intentions in approaching her.

Gazing at the girl's calm yet innocent face, Lenia felt a little uncertain again. Such a young child shouldn't do such a thing, right?

……

"Oh! So you're a psionicist. You can control your blood. That's really impressive."

In the tavern's private room, Lenia gazed enviously at the red mist swirling around the girl's hands, feeling regretful about her own inability to do anything.

The two sides exchanged some information, and the naive Lenia lowered her guard, after all, Maginus's common language did indeed have a Nesery accent.

Maginos glanced at her: "Why did you run away from home?"

"Hmm... My parents arranged a marriage for me in the capital. I didn't want to marry someone so far away, so I ran away. Don't you think it's too much to make me marry someone I've never even met?"

Lenia rested her chin on her hands and spoke, but the girl only felt that Lenia was ungrateful and was somewhat jealous and envious, so she didn't respond, but instead asked about the reward and the commission:

"Tell me in detail how long you want me to protect you, and how much you're willing to pay in return."

Maginus was planning to collect a share of the money as well, and had already made arrangements with Vera.

"Hmm, eight hundred gold coins, how about protecting me for a month?"

The inexperienced young woman, unaware of market prices, cautiously asked, "Okay." The other woman watched her closely and nodded just as the young woman was about to raise the price.

Am I at a disadvantage?

As Lenia reached up and tucked her purple hair behind her ear, she thought to herself, "Magnus agreed a little too quickly."

But never mind, she's not short of money.

She took out eight 100-coin vouchers from the Temple of Wealth from her dimensional bag and handed them to Maginus. The girl looked at them, accepted four, and pushed the other four back, explaining to the puzzled Lenia:

"A deposit of 400 gold coins, the rest will be given to me after the guard duty ends."

"Ah."

After exchanging the 400 gold coin vouchers, Maginus stood up and walked to Lenia, who was a little taller than her, extending her palm: "My name is Mine, Lenia. Please take good care of me for the next month."

"Okay, I hope we can get through this month peacefully." Although I still secretly hope to encounter some exciting things.

Lenia smiled, full of hope for the coming month, but Maginus didn't think she could get through it peacefully. Elliott Silvers was sure to orchestrate some coincidences.

Could Benedict Ted be her fiancé?

No, that shouldn't be the case. Benedict is going to be the lord of Gold and Silver City; his settlement won't be in the capital.

With a lack of clues in her mind, Maginos decided to take it one step at a time, since Benedict Ted would arrive tomorrow anyway.

"How was your rest yesterday?"

In the double room, Maginus opened her eyes and watched Lenia, who was moving around after getting up. Last night, she came to the new hotel and booked a double room with Lenia.

After she and the young lady arrived, the hotel owner stopped casting covetous glances at them; instead, his eyes showed wariness and fear.

Majinus guessed that the news of her single-handedly killing everyone in the black market had spread, and the name "Main" was gradually becoming well-known.

Hmm, maybe some biographies will come out in the future and say that Mine first became famous by killing all the members of a black market.

"Oh, Serene on top~ The bed is so hard, it hurts all over my body."

Lenya had dark circles under her eyes. She patted the hard bed in dissatisfaction and suddenly wondered if she had escaped too early.

"This is nothing. You'll find out that the food outside isn't very good either. Also, what are you planning to do today?"

Maginos responded casually, her fingers stroking up and down a strand of her hair, looking at her reflection in the mirror, which resembled her almost exactly, and felt awkward no matter how she looked at it.

She desperately wanted to grow out of shape so she wouldn't need to use her psychic powers to change her face.

After changing into civilian clothes, Lenya got up and opened the window. She scratched her soft skin, which was itchy from the rough fabric, feeling uncomfortable. Sunlight streamed into the room, and she stretched deeply.

"Hmm~, didn't they say that Benedict, the heroic general who participated in the coalition and attacked the evil royal family of Nesery, was coming to Gold and Silver City? I want to go and see if he's handsome."

With a light clasp, the red-haired girl got up from the bed: "Although I hope you won't go to chaotic places, I suppose you won't listen to me, right, Miss Rachel?"

“Of course,” Lenia turned around matter-of-factly, “I hired you to protect me.”

Chapter 112 Entering the Siege

With Benedict's imminent arrival, the streets of Gold and Silver City became bustling with activity. Soldiers began clearing the crowd from the central street at the city gates, leaving only people standing on either side.

People also gathered in the streets out of curiosity, wanting to see what the praised hero looked like.

The crowd was packed together. Lenia and Maginus stood outside the throng. Looking at the jostling crowd, the young lady's desire to get closer and observe vanished considerably. She turned to Maginus and said:

"Mine, let's find a restaurant and wait patiently."

"You are the boss, you have the final say."

The girl had no intention of killing the enemy in public. She followed Lenya into a crowded restaurant and sat down on the second floor. Even though it was a relatively upscale restaurant, it was still packed with people.

The moment their bottoms touched the chairs, a waiter came up to them with a smile, politely placing the menu down for them to order. Lenia glanced at Maginus, and the girl simply said, "Just order whatever you like, I can eat anything."

"Okay, then I want this, this, and this..."

Lenia found all the dishes novel and ordered them in a very extravagant manner, clearly showing her habit of being wasteful. Judging from the amount she ordered, she definitely wouldn't have been able to finish them if Maginus hadn't helped her.

After ordering, Lenya calculated the cost, took out a few gold coins, and put them down. After the waiter left, she said, "The food here is so cheap. I wonder if it's any good."

"It's probably just average for you, but it's still a long way from being truly awful. Have you ever eaten black bread? After you eat it for a few days, you'll start to miss your cake."

Maginos replied casually with her eyes closed, but the young lady became curious about the taste of the black bread and planned to try it later.

The dishes were brought out one after another. Lenia would eat a few bites of each plate and then put it aside, muttering, "It really doesn't taste very good. It's so different from what we make at home."

Maginus didn't reply. She sat by the window, looking down at the increasingly noisy street. The young lady, who was focused on enjoying her food, also heard a shout like "The hero is here!" She wiped her mouth and turned to look at the area behind her near the city gate.

The sound of orderly footsteps echoed from the city gate. Following a few soldiers was a tall, magnificent horse, upon which sat a blond youth, full of vigor and arrogance.

"Lord Ted! Lord Ted! Lord Ted!..."

Is that Benedict Ted?

Maginus glanced at him and memorized his appearance. Lenia, standing beside him, burped and commented, "Hmm, he's quite handsome, but I always feel he's a bit too arrogant."

"If you had just participated in the coalition to wipe out the army of a lord of the Kingdom of Nesery, you would be just as arrogant, wouldn't you, young lady?"

Maginus shook his head, and Lenia put her hands under her not-so-ample breasts after hearing this: "I'm not going to do such a rude thing, G. Look, he's coming this way."

Benedict walked into the city with his small guard, beaming with smiles as he received nods from the crowds all around him, basking in the feeling of being revered.

Not far from him, the welcoming party from Gold and Silver City was waiting there. When Lenia saw the leader's expression change slightly, she immediately shrank back and hid most of her head under the window, her eyes fixed on the spot where the two parties were about to meet.

It seems Elliott Silvesre is in the Gold and Silver City team?

Staring at the purple-haired middle-aged man at the front, Maginus pretended not to know anything: "What's wrong with you? Are your parents in there? It's not the leader, is it? His hair color is similar to yours."

"Hmm...it's him."

Knowing she couldn't hide much, Lenia spoke up, continuing to watch the scene below.

The two teams quickly gathered together, chatting and smiling at each other. At least from the current situation, the two sides were not so tense and there was still room for dialogue.

Seeing that they seemed to be talking for a long time, the girl glanced at the food on the table that had only been partially eaten, and at Lenya who was burping: "Hey, Leishi, are you going to eat the rest of the food? If not, I'll finish it all."

"You can eat, I'm already full." Lenia waved her hand, indicating that the girl should eat as much as she wanted.

Maginos picked up her knife and fork and kept putting food into her mouth, thinking that she could get through the day safely. But to her surprise, the false peace was shattered.

……

Elliott was embracing and shaking hands with Benedict when, before they could separate, an unnatural fog suddenly enveloped the area, and several figures flew out from the rooftops of the alley and fell into the fog.

"There are assassins!!"

The guards reacted quickly, mainly because they genuinely didn't expect anyone to dare make a move during such a grand event, and more importantly...

These high-ranking nobles inside are not weaklings; how dare the assassins attack them?

The mage who had been summoned by the guards immediately cast a wind spell to disperse the clouds and mist in front of them, revealing the corpses of the dead assassins.

Neither team suffered any casualties, but Elliott and Benedict looked rather grim. Their expressions grew increasingly insincere as they anxiously checked on each other for injuries and offered each other apologies.

Seeing the smoke billowing around her, Lenia stood up and, relieved to find her father unharmed, was furious when she discovered that Maginus had almost completely devoured the food on the table.

"Really, Mine, that was so dangerous! You should have picked up your sword to protect me!"

Her gaze fell downwards, and strangely enough, Maginot's belly hadn't grown at all.

“My dear Lady Leahy,” the girl said, wiping her mouth as she stuffed the last dish into her mouth, “their target is clearly the city of gold and silver and the army of Benedict, the lord who hasn’t taken office yet. How could it possibly affect us?”

As the assassination attempt unfolded, chaos erupted on the street, and a stampede was imminent. Benedict raised his hand, and his ring emitted a majestic light, calming the crowd who were trying to flee in fear.

"Gentlemen, please stay where you are and do not move. Moving around will only give the assassin more opportunities!"

A magnetic voice rang out from Benedict's mouth, and the crowd calmed down because of the magic in the ring. The scene was quickly sealed off by soldiers, including the tavern where Maginus and Lenia were.

"Miss, do they even know you? Are you going to be taken back early? Let me make it clear beforehand, I'm not going to refund your money."

Maginos, who was enjoying her meal, calmly swirled the water in her glass. Lenia wasn't too worried: "Don't worry, even if I'm extravagant, I won't waste four hundred gold coins to make you spend only one day with me~."

Chapter 113 Those inside want to get out, and those outside want to get in.

Lenia gracefully returned to her seat, took out a spell scroll from her dimensional bag, tore it open, and her face blurred slightly. If Maginus hadn't been close enough, even she wouldn't have been able to see all the changes in the girl's face.

"That's enough. Now no one can recognize me. With this confusion technique, even if they recognize me, they won't be sure, and they certainly won't ask me here if I'm the real person."

Lenia's expression subtly changed. Maginus and she waited for the guards who might come. Soon, a squad of five men came up from downstairs.

They surveyed the area and first spotted the most eye-catching figures, Maginus and Lenia, in the crowd. Some people's eyes lit up, and they were about to walk over when the captain stopped them.

"Have you forgotten everything I taught you? Open your eyes, which are as big as your lower half, and look at their posture and skin."

The captain said in a low voice. The guards who were about to arrest the two under the pretext of official business realized that their sitting posture was not like that of ordinary people.

He naturally turned around to look elsewhere, and whispered to the captain, "Captain, I went over there because I saw something strange."

"Ha, you idiot, do you think I'd believe you or the god of lies?"

The captain chuckled and followed his gaze to the side of Maginus and the other man. He suddenly paused for a moment, and the strange reaction made Maginus narrow his eyes.

If even she has discovered it, then the truly hidden one is even more likely to be found out.

"Be on alert! Engage!"

The captain roared, and the four seemingly ordinary diners at the table behind the two girls suddenly sprang into action, all rushing towards the guards. Maginus decisively pulled Lenya back to dodge, his fingers moving rhythmically as if he could create a psychic blade at any moment.

A fierce battle broke out in the restaurant, and the scene quickly descended into chaos. Lenia, always eager for excitement, was pulled to the side of the crowd by Maginus and watched the battle between the two groups with an excited expression.

"You should take advantage of the chaos and leave, unless you really want to be taken away for questioning."

Maginus glanced at the battle and said, "Lenia also knows that the longer she stays here, the higher the chance of being discovered, so she can only look regretful and follow the chaotic crowd to escape."

A slight killing intent emanated from her, and the surrounding civilians subconsciously did not want to get close to Maginus. Lenia, who was being held by her, also felt slightly uncomfortable, but unfortunately, she could not escape. The two of them squeezed into a less crowded alley.
