Chris's Faith of Fire

Although I didn't hear the whole story, I couldn't believe that he almost attacked Mihir in the study yesterday.

I have never seen Mihir look so panicked.

What the Black Fairy said to him at that time was still ringing in his ears.

"Don't trust people in the palace anymore, even if they are your father. Someone around you has betrayed you, Your Highness!"

I looked back at them.

The guard who was escorting me had met him several times, including Catherine who was expressionless as always, Sophie and Crowe who had slightly red dimples, my sister in male attire, her smiling mother... and my father.

Some of them betrayed me, and it was also the work of one of them that I was teleported to Salamander by that clown.

Now it seems like everyone is my companion.

While thinking about these things, the little boy with a blushing face came to me.

Although he has helped me a lot and we have gone through life and death difficulties together, I blush when I think of the shameful words I said before.

An awkward atmosphere surrounded us. Looking back, everyone looked at me as if urging me.

Only the mother showed a gentle smile.

I nodded lightly and approached the boy.

So close that you can almost touch the bridge of his nose.

"gram……"

He only spoke half of what he said, and didn't even pronounce the second sound.

Because I kissed you.

Although it's not the lips.

The boy's cheeks were as soft as cotton candy.

"Varied!"

"Huhu~~ Ouch, ouch."

"It's nice to be young."

Parents are really annoying. Maybe from their perspective, I just kissed Noelle on the lips.

But that's not the case at all, although it's enough to embarrass me.

Ignoring Sylvie's murderous expression as she was being held down by the Duke.

I said my farewell words in the boy's ear only at a volume that he could hear.

"Please help me... I have to trust you."

Chapter 33 33. Endless Night

The red clouds on the horizon extend the indigo curtain, and the dark night is about to fall on Rodculosaint.

It is a long night for me and a prison from which I cannot escape.

everything is over.

My beloved motherland.

Standing on the city wall and looking at the bright castle town illuminated by the fire, tears couldn't help but fall from the corners of my eyes.

"Please return to the castle quickly, Your Highness!"

"Ah, um..." I was speechless.

Although I wanted to say a lot, my mouth seemed to be sewn shut with strong threads, and I couldn't say a single word.

The soldiers on one side aimed at the demon with black wings in the sky and threw spears at him.

"Gah! Woo!"

The demon vibrated its black wings and dodged laterally in the air. The tip of the spear flashed and flew into the night sky in a silver-white arc.Seeing the spear moving away, the demon turned to the soldier and snickered. With the howling wind, when I turned around, his long claws had penetrated the soldier's armor and stabbed into the throat.

A drop or two of blood splattered on my cheek.

"Ah...ah..."

The warm blood drops made my body tremble. What on earth was wrong with me?Although there is a sword on his waist, he doesn't even have the courage to pull it out at this moment. It would be too reluctant to say that he is in a bad condition.

"Your Highness Princess! Run away!"

Just when the devil aimed his claws at me, another soldier placed his body in front of me and raised his shield to resist his attack.

"Well……"

No matter what, no complete words came out of his mouth, and the smell of blood filled the air.

Escape towards the inside of the castle and walk underground along the edge of the wall. It is no longer safe here.The sound of swords clashing against each other in your ears makes your heart almost stop with every beat. It seems like it is coming from your ears, and a demon who wants to take your life will pop out of nowhere.

"Damn, why did it become like this!"

When I saw the small room where the sundries were kept, I bit my lip and ran towards that direction.

My clothes got dirty while escaping, and my hair became a mess with a lot of dust on it, but I didn't care about that at all.

The courage, glory, perseverance as a princess, and even the belief in fire of the Masefield family disappeared at this moment.

I exerted a little force on my right hand, and as the half-open wooden door was pushed open, the small room that I thought was a safe area was filled with a fishy smell.

There was an ominous premonition, not so much a sixth sense but the room itself was filled with suffocating harmful gases.

The boots stepped on something wet, and in addition to the fishy smell, there was also a smell of ammonia.

It can no longer be opened!

This voice kept echoing in my head.

His fingers were clasped tightly on one side of the wooden door, wanting to close it with all his strength.

"Goo, goo!"

At this moment, the strange screams coming from inside attracted my curiosity. My right hand rested on the hilt of my sword.The moment the wooden door was pushed open, the little creature inside suddenly turned around, and I quickly stabbed him with a sword before he could react.

"Gu... gu..."

Maybe I didn't notice, or maybe my movement was too sudden, and the sword easily pierced his throat.But my movements were not even half as neat as usual. There must be other reasons for being so smooth.No matter what, the creature lowered its head, and then its golden eyes gradually lost their vitality.

"There are goblins here too..."

Muttering under my breath, I looked at the inferior demon lying on the ground and pulled out the mithril sword that had pierced his flesh.

However, as he continued to lower his head, he finally discovered what attracted the monster's attention.

The silver sword tip swayed, as if reflecting the wavering in my heart.

"Why, why do these things happen..."

Look at the target I just assassinated.

Beneath the green goblin lay the body of a maid.

Her black and white maid uniform was torn to pieces, and countless bright red scratches remained on her naked upper body. Thick white liquid leaked out from under her body along with body fluids. The creepy stench must have come from here. .

Seeing such a horrifying sight, I could no longer maintain my standing position. I took a step back while holding on to the wall. A sense of weakness instantly surged into my limbs. I knelt on the ground in an ugly state, and a nauseating feeling flowed from my abdomen to my mouth. overflow.

"Uh...uh, yuck..."

My nails were about to scratch the door frame, and I couldn't bear it anymore.

Looking at the dirty ground, he frowned deeply.

I know her, one of the girls who once served me, but now she has become this miserable.

Not just her, but also this royal city and the entire Rodculosaint.

The dark gods of death dyed this place bright red with the flames on the country's coat of arms overnight.

Already, there is no safe place.

Chapter 34 34. Shallow Reef——1

a week ago

The wheels probably hit the stones on the road and made a muffled sound. As the carriage shook violently, my body suddenly leaned forward and hit something soft.

This kind of unpleasant feeling...

"Ah, your highness... no, this, are you okay?"

The little maid blushed and gently pushed me away from her body, grabbing my shoulders with concern.

Sophie's soft breasts acted as an airbag. Although my petite body was almost thrown out and hit the board, judging from the current situation, it was a success.

"It's okay, what happened?" When the car slowly stopped and the convoy's horse hooves stopped making crisp sounds, Sophie opened the car curtains and a knight came over.

"Your Highness, I'm very sorry. Are you okay?" The knight deeply lowered his head, which was covered by a plate-gold helmet, to apologize to me.

It was the first time I traveled that I discovered that the rugged roads in the wild were not comparable to those in the streets. The carriage swayed every step of the way, making me feel dizzy and almost vomited several times.

In this case, the mood naturally becomes very bad.

"Don't say useless words. I just want to know what happened."

My eyebrows are probably frowning fiercely now. If I had a riding crop in my hand now, I would probably give him a couple of slaps, even though my temper has become very gentle in the past year or so.

The knight opened his eyes wide and saluted quickly.

"Very... no, there was a monster that jumped out just now to block the team's progress. It has been dealt with by the vanguard. It is a crime worthy of death for disturbing Her Royal Highness."

"I see, where are we now? It's far away from Rode Curose."

"Hmm..." The knight put his finger on his chin and looked around, probably estimating the distance. "About 80 Fra, I should be able to return to the capital tonight."

Is it still that far away?This journey probably takes half a day.

Looking at the newborn sun in the sky, I waved my hand to the knight.

"I need to get out of the car and get some fresh air..." I felt dizzy and uncomfortable, and a feeling of nausea welled up in my stomach. This was probably the kind of motion sickness I hadn't experienced in a long time.

Fortunately, I didn't eat anything in the morning. In fact, there is no habit of eating breakfast in this world.

Just when I was about to walk out, Sophie grabbed me.

"Your Highness, it's still very dangerous outside!"

Sophie looked nervous, was she talking about monsters?

However, it would be more dangerous from the princess's point of view if she vomited on the carriage and soiled her skirt.

"Yes, please wait quietly in the carriage while our scouts investigate the surroundings." The knight hurriedly added after Sophie. The person who had the same opinion was the princess's personal maid. It seemed that this made his tone sound. Gained some confidence.

"What monster just appeared?"

"It's a goblin, but they often appear in groups. It's possible that this is just a straggler..."

"If I remember correctly, they should be the weakest demon clan."

Goblins are very small, probably only a little more than half the height of an adult man. Although their movements are fast, their strength is very weak. Forget about children, the fully armed knights will naturally not be hurt by these guys.

I stood up and looked at him from above, hoping that this small gesture would make the knight of the Salamander regiment understand his responsibilities and position.

"It's really good..." He responded in a low voice.

"Then do I still need to worry so much? Being hurt by this weakest monster in front of all the elites?"

"Even so..."

"Then let me show you how to defeat our weakest green-skinned little man."

As I said that, I pulled out the rapier from my waist and narrowed my eyes.

"Your Highness! You must not...well, please rest on the rock over there, Your Highness. We will definitely protect you and Miss Sophie." Looking at his panic, I took back my rapier.

"Then, please."

Sophie took my hand and carefully stepped out of the carriage. When I saw the relatively clean rock on the roadside, I stroked my skirt and sat on it.

I put the rapier aside.
