After Defeat, the Empress’s Negotiating Chip Turns Out to Be Me

Chapter 164

164~ Deity of Abundance~

"Great Deity of Abundance, please continue to bestow your divine miracle! The Saint Maiden you've been awaiting has been found!"

The divine statue faintly emitted light, and unexpectedly, a golden feather fell from its head, containing the power of "Abundance" within it.

"Thank you for your blessing. I will definitely present the Saint Maiden to you within these few days."

......

......

"Your Highness, we've arrived."

Xiao Xi and Xiyan were somewhat anxious and uneasy. It wasn't that they didn't trust the little Princess's decision, but the risk this decision required bearing was truly too great!

"Mm."

The little Princess gently lifted her hood, looking toward the royal castle entrance ahead.

"Um, Your Highness, there's something ahead that interferes with teleportation magic. I'm afraid I can't use magic to pass through."

"Mm, I understand."

In any case, they'd already arrived before the royal castle gate. There would always be an opportunity to get inside.

She currently hadn't thought of a method yet. Before coming, she hadn't considered there'd be a possibility of preventing using magic to directly teleport inside.

She could probably only try to sneak in.

Unfortunately, no one here knew one of the Four Great Evil Arts: makeup technique. Otherwise, they could definitely easily get inside.

No matter what, this royal castle absolutely had to be entered today.

Outside, the streets were full of searching soldiers. No matter where they stayed, sooner or later they'd be found.

So what method to use? The only reliable option was probably that naive fool royal family member Yue Yingxue. But the problem was, as Midias's Princess, how would she possibly leave the royal castle's area normally?

"Haah..."

"Your Highness, Your Highness, look over there!"

Little loli maid Xiyan suddenly tugged twice on the little Princess's skirt hem as she called out.

"Hm?"

The little Princess looked in the direction little loli maid Xiyan pointed. Yue Yingxue was preparing to return to the royal castle...

Uh...

After reacting, the little Princess, without thinking it through, immediately picked up a stone from the ground and threw it toward Yue Yingxue, hoping to attract attention this way.

There was only one chance! If this opportunity passed, then for her to enter the royal castle without resorting to force, the difficulty would absolutely be hell-level!

"Hm?"

The stone was thrown at Yue Yingxue's feet. She also stopped, curious who dared throw stones at a nation's Princess.

The instant she looked over, she was slightly shocked.

Wasn't this the Eastern Region Glaze Nation's Princess Mo that Father the King wanted to find? How come instead of planning to escape and rendezvous with her own army, she was attracting her attention here?

Thinking of this, Yue Yingxue changed direction, walking toward where the three people were.

"Your Highness!"

Maid Xiao Xi didn't know what her Princess wanted to do. She only knew that if they were exposed by this Midias Second Princess right now, they'd probably be finished.

Xiyan didn't have much magic power remaining. Taking three people using teleportation magic once had already consumed nearly half of her magic power.

At most, she could only perform one more teleportation, and her magic power reserves would already be depleted...

So, she had to...

"What are you all doing here?"

Just as Maid Xiao Xi was preparing to knock out Yue Yingxue, the little Princess made a gesture to stop her in time.

"Ahem... we came to talk with your Father the King."

"But my Father the King sent people to look for you. Can't you just follow those people to meet my Father the King?"

"Well..."

One could only say the naive fool Princess was indeed a naive fool. She actually didn't know her Father the King in reality didn't want to invite her to talk at all, but rather planned to capture her.

However, this was just as well. It saved her wasting words here to explain the trouble.

"Those people were too crude. I don't like them, so I decided to come myself."

"Oh oh, is that so. Then why did you call me over?"

"Could you trouble yourself to bring us inside the royal palace?"

"I can do that, but can't you just go in directly yourselves?"

"We're not too familiar with the palace's layout, so we want you to take us to meet your Father the King."

"Then can't you just have someone show the way?"

The little Princess was getting a bit of a headache from the questions.

Who would've thought this naive fool was quite suspicious?

"Because we just happened to see you. We planned to incidentally supplement some details about the Eastern Region chaotic war with you."

"Oh oh, so that's how it is. Then shall we go in now?"

"Mm."

As expected, a naive fool was a naive fool! Still very easy to deceive!

However, the most important thing was this naive fool Princess didn't understand why her Father the King would dispatch so many people to go "invite" her over. If she knew, it wouldn't be so easy to say.

At this time, the little Princess's anxious heart was finally set at ease.

"Then time is of the essence. Let's go now."

While talking with Yue Yingxue, she also gave the two maids behind her a look, having them put on their hoods, trying to keep them low to cover their faces.

Yue Yingxue didn't say anything about this. In the little Princess's eyes, Yue Yingxue purely thought the three of them didn't want to attract attention.

The gate-guarding soldiers, seeing their own Princess bringing three people back, didn't feel it appropriate to go up and inspect. They just curiously swept a few glances before letting them in.

As expected, her decision was correct!

The little Princess secretly felt fortunate.

Walking side by side with Yue Yingxue, continuously supplementing the details of the Eastern Region war chaos that she'd only roughly explained once before, until they walked to the entrance of the great hall where the Midias Empire's king was located.

"Father the King?"

"Enter."

The three followed Yue Yingxue into the great hall. At this time, the great hall had somehow gained a magnificent statue.

"Father the King, what is this?"

"Yingxue, you've done very well. You actually even brought the Saint Maiden over."

The little Princess's party of three had already removed their hoods when walking to the great hall entrance, revealing their true faces.

Mo: "???"

What was this situation?

"This is the Deity of Abundance, the great deity who has protected our nation for decades."

"Deity of Abundance...?"

Yue Yingxue widened her eyes, looking at her Father the King in disbelief.

"Isn't that the Evil God worshipped by the heretical cult you spoke of, Father the King!? Why, why are you now worshipping this Evil God, Father the King!?"

"Silence! They are the great Deity of Abundance! A great deity who can bring prosperity and strength to our nation!"

The little Princess on the side was already shocked into forgetting to speak.

Deity of Abundance... Evil God worshipped by heretical cults... didn't that mean she'd already entered the wolf's den!? Also, who was this "Saint Maiden" being spoken of?

Moreover, why did this naive fool Princess suddenly become not naive anymore!?

"Father the King, were you bewitched by heretics?"

"Of course not. How could those heretics possibly understand the greatness of the Deity of Abundance? Hurry over here and let Them properly see you."

"You've gone mad... Father the King, you've truly gone mad!"

Yue Yingxue drew her magic wand from who knows where and assumed a stance.

"Since Father the King, your mind has already been bewitched by the Evil God, then let me make you sober up."
