89 – Assassination of the Princess (4)

For a moment, there was an awkward silence between us.

I just rolled my eyes and looked at the princess.

Then, unlike her usual appearance, her earlobes turned as red as an apple.

-This is my first time seeing the princess like that.

‘Me too.’

A face that looks like it might explode if you touch it just a little more.

I guarantee that if you touch it one more time, you will definitely die of shame.

‘Hmm. ‘How do I do this?’

If I tell you that the princess lied right now, I feel like something not very good will happen.

If you do something wrong, the princess’s trust could fall.

Well, I don’t think trust will fall because of something like this.

Anyway, the princess is essential to catching the demon lord, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to side with her for once.

After completely organizing her thoughts, I nodded.

“Yes. You’re right. I must like the princess so much. Ahahahahaha.”

“As expected.”

The emperor making ramie was satisfied with my answer.

I just rolled my eyes and looked at the princess.

She looks at me with a truly surprised face.

I guess he never thought I would lie here.

-But I feel like he’s living behind the master’s back. Is this an assassin?

‘Uh, um. He is an assassin.’

It’s just that Jane is the mercenary guild’s vice-minister.

While trying to ignore the stinging glare he felt at the back of his head, the Emperor continues.

“I thought my daughter was lying because there was no response for a moment. Something like ahahahaha.”

“Ahahahahaha. That can’t be possible, right? “I can’t believe the princess lied like that.”

After hearing our conversation, the princess lowers her head.

She seems quite embarrassed that she lied.

-I guess it’s just because the owner got screwed?

‘What do you say? ‘How much help am I giving you now?’

Thinking like that, the emperor and I continued to talk.

The princess trembled every time they talked, but that probably wasn’t that important.

***

The night finally arrived after speaking with the emperor.

Jane looks at me with a sullen face.

“Hmm. Okay. “The master loves the princess so deeply.”

“No…”

A cold voice that I have never felt before.

I feel like if I make excuses for no reason, the atmosphere will only get worse.

But, does this mean it’s not the end yet?

“I heard the story. Professor. Do you think you like the princess that much? After telling me that she loves me so much…”

“You said that to me too…”

“I guess I was the only one who didn’t hear…”

Sena and Rosé look at me with cold, salty eyes.

Lastly, I heard Eve’s voice of envy.

Anyway.

“Hmm. “More than that, have you prepared all the rosé?”

“Yes. I did.”

Rosé shakes her head.

Preparations are now complete.

Even Sena and Eve participated to prepare for any unexpected variables.

Now all the assassin who wants to kill the princess has to do is move as he thinks.

“Then let’s prepare quickly.”

With those words, we began to move quietly.

Waiting for the princess to lure her assassin here.

***

Meanwhile, at that time.

Baran, who waited for dawn to come, was in a better mood than usual.

Isn’t today D-Day?

If today passes, I will be able to return to the Demon King’s Castle.

‘Whoa. Now it’s time to move on.’

Thinking like that, that’s when Baran concentrates.

– Jeopuk. Jeez.

Eventually, the princess moved with her sleepy eyes.

She goes to her bathroom alone as usual.

Therefore, now is the best time to assassinate her.

‘Shadow movement.’

He moved to the shadows inside the imperial castle.

As he became a shadow, he carefully followed the princess.

– Jeopuk. Jeez.

The princess begins to walk as usual.

She is so cunning that it seems like she could kill her in an instant.

‘Whoa. Now this sh*t is over.’

The moment when he comes out of the shadows.

-Jump, jump, jump.

Isn’t her walking pace getting faster?

Baran was taken aback by her sudden steps.

Baran shook his head for a moment.

‘Did you notice?’

Her quick steps have exquisite timing.

Assuming she had noticed, it was natural for her to walk that fast.

‘I’m doing that because I’m in a hurry to go to the bathroom…’

That’s probably not true.

Baran followed her and used her shadow powers to detect her surroundings.

‘There’s no one.’

Contrary to expectations, there is no one around.

It’s natural that it’s not there since it’s early in the morning, but it still feels like it’s missing even without it.

‘Is it a trap…?’

However, for something like that, he has never shown any signs of being caught.

If she had been caught in the first place, she would have been caught right away.

There was no reason for her to spin around like this and make it difficult for her.

And.

‘Even if it’s a trap, it has no choice but to move now.’

There is no one around.

Not even a single soldier, let alone Margaret.

I feel like it would be too much of a waste to miss this right now.

In some ways, now is the best time to kill the princess.

-Whoa!

Baran used her shadow movement to chase the princess.

And Baran only found out over time.

She knew that she had been manipulated by the princess from the beginning.

***

Same time.

The princess raised the corner of her mouth at the feeling of thick life behind her.

‘As expected.’

That assassin probably had a lot to think about.

You may have thought this was a trap, but if you don’t do it now, there’s no chance to kill her.

So, even if there was just a little greed, he would definitely have followed.

-Whoop!

At that moment, a shadowy dagger flies from behind.

The princess used magic that she had secretly chanted.

Then.

-Page your support!.

The barrier she spread is slowly breaking apart.

Originally, it would be possible to easily avoid or repel such attacks.

However, then all operations will be in vain.

It is obvious that the moment she recognizes herself as being equal or stronger than herself, she will run away.

‘I have to roll on the floor here.’

Thinking like that, the princess secretly canceled her own magic.

Next moment.

-Kwachang!

Her defensive magic was shattered.

As if it had really been shattered by a shadow dagger.

“aaahhh.”

She rolled around on her floor.

It looks as if the defense failed and flew away in the aftermath of the impact.

At this moment, she was acting as vulnerable as possible to lure her lover.

***

Meanwhile, around that time.

Elric and the others, who were examining the situation through the video crystal ball, were dumbfounded by the sight that unfolded before their eyes.

I never thought that the princess of a country could act that well.

“No. Professor. “Isn’t the princess’s acting a skill you’ve tried once or twice?”

Sai, who was watching from the side, spoke in an absurd voice.

At those words, she lowered her head with a look of sympathy from the female companions.

-She has acting skills equal to that of Princess Karan!

‘I can’t bear to deny it.’

Even though she was Karen, she didn’t show acting that was comparable to modern movie stars.

At the time, watching her realistic acting, she unknowingly wondered if she was really being held hostage.

And now the princess running away is at a similar level.

She is like a heroine in a horror movie, running away in a hurry.

She’s trying so hard to perfect her acting that she’s in a cold sweat with tears in her eyes.

‘It feels like I’m watching a horror movie.’

That was when she looked at the crystal ball with such appreciation.

“Hmm. “That could be dangerous.”

“Of course.”

“It looks like even the princess will have to use some strength.”

The assassin seems to be clearly planning to kill him, but now he openly emits demonic energy.

His demon energy completely invades the hallway.

However, the princess also reached near her destination.

Here, it depends on who achieves the goal first.

-Whaaah!

The demon energy spreads at an unusual speed.

If we keep going like this, we will be caught soon.

However, was this level of variation expected?

-Woah!

The princess uses her beginner magic, Wind, on her own feet.

Thanks to the power of the wind, her speed became faster.

Next moment.

-Poof!

Eventually, she arrived in front of her door.

At the same time.

-Quang!

I opened the door and entered the room.

Just like the assassin who followed from behind.

-What?!

For a moment, the assassin looks at Elric and his group and is startled.

Judging by their reaction, it seems they had no idea they would be here.

The moment he tried to run away.

-Wooow!

The magic circle that Rosé had prepared in advance begins to spin.

Huge magical power emanating from the floor.

At the same time, blue magic consumed them.

The next moment, there was only a cold wind blowing from the window in the room.

Other than that, there would have been nothing.

***

Suddenly, blue magic struck.

Baran raised his eyelids for a moment.

“This is…”

Unlike the magnificent room, the only thing around was a hard wall.

“Is it a labyrinth?”

However, she suddenly doesn’t know why she is in the labyrinth.

Isn’t a normal labyrinth a dungeon?

If you can at least guess.

‘It means that the magic circle was activated before it was overlaid with magic power.’

I can’t look closely, so I don’t know exactly what magic it is.

However, seeing him here now makes me think that it might be transference magic.

Other than that, it makes no sense.

‘In the end, we fell into a trap…’

However, what they overlooked is that it is possible for him to escape from here.

In fact, Baran, who can turn into a shadow, can move under the wall.

‘There’s no reason to play around.’

Thinking like that, Baran turned into a shadow.

Soon, the moment when you are trying to get on the floor and move under the wall.

“What…”

I felt like something was tightly blocked.

Are you saying this is not an ordinary labyrinth?

Baran frowned and stepped back.

Soon, he came back to the ground.

“Whoa… In the end, I have no choice but to play around.”

If I had known this would happen, I should have just abandoned the princess and ran away.

I fell into their trap due to my pointless greed.

‘It was a complete joke.’

Baran walked along her path, feeling relieved.

Then after a while.

“You…”

In his field of vision, he saw none other than a warrior.

Baran is momentarily stunned by the sudden appearance of the hero.

Soon, Sai raises his sword and speaks.

“Let me say something for you poor person. Don’t cross that line. “After this, it’s hell.”

As he says that, the warrior looks at himself pitifully.

It looks like we are firmly caught in a trap.
