Chapter 41 - Princess Faith
"What a bunch of idiots. They even let me out, haha."
This clear and proud laughter made people feel that she must be a beautiful and noble lady.
However, this noble lady was holding her skirt and hiding in a warehouse.
This warehouse had been abandoned for many years, so no one was here.
Hence, there was dust everywhere.
But even so, the dust and the scattered rubbish did not affect her temperament.
She noticed that there was no movement outside.
The lady holding her dress carefully came out from her hiding place.
Even though she was running away, her tender skin and crafty eyes gave off a sense of intelligence.
They all revealed her grasp of her current situation.
"There's still a wave of soldiers patrolling. This place will become the vacuum of the imperial city."
"When the time comes, I will be able to directly escape from the Imperial City."
Thinking of this, the beautiful girl wearing a gorgeous dress turned her beautiful eyes.
This was the escape route that she had long figured out.
It was to avoid the stupid arrangement of her muddle-headed father.
At the thought of this, Faith clenched her small hands tightly, very angry.
She didn't know who told the old king to make her marry a prince from another country wholeheartedly.
He didn't care if she agreed or not, and arranged it.
At the thought of this, Faith also sighed.
If she was an ordinary princess, she might have listened to the arrangement.
After all, as a princess, she was already very lucky to be able to marry a real prince.
More princesses were arranged by the king to marry ministers, and some were married to other kings.
It sounded good, but they were all old men.
It was a complete political marriage.
There was no love at all.
She was the kingdom's Princess Faith, the pearl of the entire kingdom.
How could she accept such a fate?
As the most outstanding student of the kingdom's Magic Academy, her spiritual power and affinity for water magic were both top-notch.
Her affinity for wind magic was even higher.
If such a talent were to be placed in the kingdom's academy, it would become an existence that could crush them.
It might take three years to pass the apprenticeship period.
It took only half a year for Faith to break through and learn her first spell.
Then, she broke through continuously.
All the way up.
At the age of 16, she broke through to the low-level and became a middle-level wind mage of the fourth rank.
If one had to describe it, it would be that at the age of 16, she became the best university graduate in the country.
And also the most outstanding one.
After that, whether she chose to study in a higher magic academy or choose to start her own life, Faith could choose freely.
Just as Faith was about to make her choice...
The kingdom's 8th rank mage, Mondo, noticed her,
Her dazzling result shocked even the kingdom's 8th rank mage, Mondo.
He immediately accepted Faith as his disciple.
Then, as a teacher, he wrote a recommendation letter and went to the continent's top magic academy to further his studies.
She was already young, beautiful, and extremely talented.
Her future was also bright.
Princess Faith became the idol of all the men in Langham.
Everyone looked forward to a romantic encounter with this girl who was as dazzling as the sun.
Similarly, the outstanding Faith became the old king's treasure to show off on various social occasions.
But this show-off didn't matter.
Princess Faith was also fancied by the princes of other countries.
In the thought that women are to marry, the old king was actually helping his daughter to find a candidate.
So at the age of 16, the old king chose a prince.
He wanted to marry off his daughter.
The prince's country's strength is likely similar to that of Langham.
If the other side married Princess Faith, those two families will be allies for generations.
And the Prince promised that if Princess Faith married him, she would be the only princess.
No woman could compete with Princess Faith for the position.
These promises made the King and Queen very moved.
The King was moved by the promised allies.
After all, he was old, and his sons were not very capable.
When the time came, it would definitely take a lot of trouble to decide who would inherit the throne.
The most worrying thing was that because of this, the country would be in great turmoil.
But as long as Faith married over, he would have an ally.
With this powerful ally who loved his daughter, even if these people had their own little thoughts, they would not dare to make any rash moves.
And the Queen also had her own thoughts.
As a woman, she knew very well how much she had paid to become the queen and how much blood and tears she had shed.
How much she had suffered and schemed against.
Before she finally succeeded in becoming the queen.
Just like that.
The king still had many concubines and many lovers.
All of these were threatening her position at any time.
If the other party was only willing to marry Faith as the only princess, the future queen, this lovely daughter of hers would suffer a lot less.
It wasn't that she hadn't examined the prince's character.
It could be seen that the other party truly liked Faith. Moreover, she was young and promising. Other than looking very ordinary, she didn't have any other shortcomings.
She also didn't have any bad habits.
It can be said that the queen acted out of her own experience.
She chose what she thought would be the best outcome for Faith.
However, while the King and the Queen were playing their little tricks...
They also made the biggest mistake of an experienced person.
They forget that their daughter, in addition to being a princess, was also a magician.
And a genius magician at that.
When she knew that her fate was decided by her parents...
Faith resolutely launched her escape plan.
Are you kidding? She was an outstanding graduate of the Kingdom's Magic Academy.
She was a future grand magician who could roam the continent.
How could she marry a prince of an unknown country so early?
This would delay her future.
And so...
In the middle of the night, Princess Faith unsurprisingly disappeared from the imperial city.
At first, the King and Queen thought that Faith was just throwing a tantrum.
So they were not in a hurry. They just sent some people to keep an eye on her and report back as soon as they had any news.
But as time passed, something seemed amiss.
They finally realized that Princess Faith had run away!
How could this be!
The two of them immediately sent people to seal off all the exits in the imperial city.
They also ordered the mages of the Imperial City to activate all the magic circuits.
They couldn't let their daughter run out.
At this moment, the two of them suddenly realized.
The little chick that had grown under their wings had already grown to this extent.
The cage that they had built with heavy gold could no longer hold this canary.
And this canary still wanted to escape.
This made the kingdom think that he had lost his temper.
He gave a death order.
Tell the people of the king's city guards to find her!
