"Are you trying to defy me?"
"How could that be? I just feel you've already been brainwashed by those heretic cultists. I only want to make you sober up."
Darvien: "......"
"So Father the King, I'm sorry. I hope after you sober up, you can forgive my actions."
After saying this, Yue Yingxue no longer continued talking nonsense. She waved her magic wand to use magic for attack.
"Utterly foolish..."
Darvien likewise drew out a magic wand to attack Yue Yingxue.
At this time, the little Princess's mouth was already open so wide it could practically fit a fist.
A nation's king and his own daughter actually turned against each other and became enemies, and even directly started fighting. What drama could be more explosive than this?
"Your Highness, let's leave first."
"Mm."
Right now, this indeed wasn't a place where she should stay. When two Mages started fighting, they absolutely wouldn't care about how the surroundings got destroyed.
They'd probably only stop attacking when their magic power was exhausted or a victor was decided, right?
"You cannot leave! Leave the Saint Maiden for me!"
A sudden furious roar from behind. A massive wall of fire immediately rose up before their eyes.
"Your Highness!"
Xiyan clenched her fist and also drew out a magic wand.
"Pure Water Spirit... please protect your friend..."
After completing the chant, she summoned a circle of water formed by magic power that encircled the three people, enveloping them within.
"Archmage...!?"
Darvien paused slightly. He clearly didn't know that Xiyan, who had always followed by the little Princess's side, was an Archmage.
"You all hurry and leave. Get out of here."
Yue Yingxue urged.
Worshipping Evil Gods was already forbidden by the late king's order. Evil Gods would bring endless disasters and destruction to the nation. Yet her own Father the King broke this prohibition to personally worship the Evil God.
As the Midias Empire's Princess, she absolutely would not allow the Evil God's heretic cultists to spread in her own nation, even if this heretic cultist was her Father the King.
"Yingxue, get out of my way!"
Darvien spoke in a commanding tone.
The Saint Maiden actually ran away, and right in front of the great Deity of Abundance too. If he didn't immediately chase the Saint Maiden back, would the great Deity of Abundance be disappointed in him?
No, he absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen!
"Father the King..."
No, the person before her eyes was no longer her Father the King, but a heretic cultist who believed in Evil Gods. According to the Midias Empire's laws, she had to first beat him down!
......
On the other side, the little Princess, who had already run near the royal castle gate, crouched behind some bushes with Xiao Xi and Xiyan.
When coming in, they came in together with Yue Yingxue. When going out, they didn't know if there would be another inspection. If the gate-guarding soldiers discovered it was her, they'd probably have no choice but to resort to force to resolve it.
So how exactly could they safely leave the royal castle without resorting to force?
"Emmm..."
"Your Highness?"
"Forget it. Let's just stay inside the royal castle."
She thought about it. If they went outside the royal castle, it would probably only be more dangerous.
Outside, a large group of soldiers were searching for them. Going outside would be equivalent to walking into a trap, right? Better to hide inside the royal castle for now.
Before long, she suddenly heard some commotion outside.
"Hey hey! You over there, come here quickly!"
"What's wrong?"
"Someone is assassinating His Majesty the King. Don't you know? Hurry and go support the palace!"
"What!? Someone is assassinating His Majesty the King!?"
Hearing this, he realized the severity of the matter. He immediately called nearby soldiers patrolling inside the royal palace to immediately go to the palace to protect the king.
"Emmm..."
"Your Highness, Your Highness, they all went toward the palace."
"I know!"
The little Princess pried Xiyan's hand open.
"I'm not blind!"
Things like assassinating the king sounded very thrilling. She wondered what kind of expression those soldiers would have after going there and seeing it was their own Princess assassinating the king.
However, if that immortal old king worshipped an Evil God, those soldiers should stand on Yue Yingxue's side, right?
After all, worshipping Evil Gods was something any normal person would extremely resist.
If nothing unexpected happened, the soldiers who went out to search for them should also stop their current tasks and rush toward the palace after receiving the news, right?
But at the very least, those basic gate-guarding soldiers would still be at their posts.
"Xiyan, quickly use magic to make us invisible!"
The little Princess commanded.
"Understood."
Before long, sure enough, as she predicted, a large group of soldiers and Mages all returned to the palace, preparing to capture the fellow who dared assassinate the king.
And because the little Princess had Xiyan deploy magic early to make all three of them invisible, plus these Mages were all rushing toward the palace, they completely didn't notice them hiding in the bushes.
"Um, Your Highness, where should we go next?"
Maid Xiao Xi inquired.
"Nowhere. Just find a place with few people inside the royal castle and crouch down to observe the situation."
Wait until the situation looked wrong, then use force to run out. At that time, as long as they rendezvoused with her own army, they wouldn't need to fear any pursuers anymore.
"By the way, Xiyan, do you still have enough magic power?"
"Still enough for now. About seventy percent remaining."
With this amount of magic power reserves, as long as she didn't encounter two or more Mages of her same level blocking the way, no one could stop her.
"Then replenish your magic power first."
The little Princess took out a bottle of magic power potion from her Magic Space Ring and handed it to little loli maid Xiyan.
"Okay."
......
......
On the other side, in the church in another dimension, the young lady lying in the coffin suddenly opened her eyes, looking seriously toward the window.
"As expected, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and let Mo Mo do as she pleased."
She had already sensed it. A rich divine power was awakening, right near the little Princess.
She probably couldn't sleep peacefully anymore, not until she confirmed the little Princess was absolutely safe.
"Xiao Bai, time to get up."
Xuan walked to a door and knocked forcefully several times.
In the darkness, a pair of giant pupils opened.
"Xiao Bai, I'm entrusting Mo Mo to you. You don't want anything to happen to Mo Mo either, right?"
"Roar..."
After Xiao Bai inside the door let out a low roar, it fell into silence. However, she understood this meant Xiao Bai had already started moving. The fact there was no sound inside now meant it had already gone out.
This was best. With Xiao Bai taking action, she didn't need to worry about the little Princess encountering any danger.
Unlike her, who couldn't use divine power in large amounts and couldn't actively go outside to protect the little Princess, Xiao Bai was a mythical creature possessing an independent body.
Different from Them, these deities, mythical creatures didn't need to be bound by divine positions. Correspondingly, their strength would also be inferior to a true deity. However, it was already sufficient to deal with things outside that posed life-threatening danger to the little Princess.
