166~ Run!
"Your Highness?"
"What?"
The little Princess turned her head to ask.
She was leaning against the wall resting to recover some energy.
"Um, your hand."
Mo: "?"
The little Princess raised her hand to glance at it. The mark Xuan branded on her was faintly glowing.
"Xuan?"
The little Princess softly called toward her arm.
However, after quite a while, nothing happened. The mark on her arm gradually dimmed until it finally completely disappeared.
"Your Highness, is it that hateful Evil God?"
The little Princess somewhat helplessly stroked little loli maid Xiyan's head.
In Xiyan's heart, Xuan had probably already become an outright Evil God.
"It's fine."
Although she didn't know what the mark flickering meant either, she could guess this was some kind of signal, or Xuan had done something, but she had no way to observe it.
In any case, whichever it was, it held no harm for her.
However, next she needed to quickly leave here. Perhaps this was the signal warning her that the deity slumbering here was about to awaken.
"Your Highness, someone is approaching!"
Xiyan, sensing something unusual, hurriedly pressed down the little Princess's head.
"Quickly, you all go search over there! Perhaps that Eastern Region Princess is still inside the royal palace. The rest of you come with me! Search around the royal castle perimeter! If you encounter heretic cultists, don't hesitate, kill them immediately!"
"Yes!" ×n
From the dialogue between these soldiers, it seemed Yue Yingxue had won?
This father-daughter battle should have already concluded, right?
She didn't know the situation inside the palace, so she didn't dare rashly show herself. Moreover, she still didn't know Yue Yingxue's attitude toward her.
From that moment in the palace just now, Yue Yingxue's performance was absolutely not what a naive fool Princess should display. On the contrary, she even saw a trace of her own shadow on Yue Yingxue.
That was the shadow of scheming...
Yue Yingxue could deceive her, approaching her with the identity of a naive fool Princess. Just based on this point, Yue Yingxue's danger level in her heart directly rose to second only to the Empress.
The Empress was truly very dangerous. If captured and she just happened to encounter the Empress in a bad mood, she'd be in for it. As for Yue Yingxue, she directly deceived her judgment, becoming an existence she couldn't fathom.
"Alright, we've rested about enough. Let's leave."
Right now while the royal castle was in complete chaos was the easiest time to slip out.
As for what the situation inside the palace was? What did that have to do with her? Right now, the most urgent matter was leaving this city and heading to the next country.
The Midias Empire's territory was very large. Within the entire Midias, there existed seven cities. Compared to her previous life where one nation had dozens of cities, in this otherworld in a constant state of chaos, a nation being able to possess three cities was already quite good.
"However, the next country is one that's hostile toward the Eastern Region like the Raider Empire. I'm afraid we can't go into the city to rest and reorganize."
After all three disguised themselves as different appearances, they arrived before the royal castle's city gate. They casually found an excuse to fool the gate-guarding soldiers and came out very easily.
"Let's go. Head to the outer city gate. In a bit, we'll have to rely on you to break through the checkpoint, Xiyan."
"Eh, didn't Your Highness say to avoid conflict if possible?"
"Now it's different. There's an Evil God about to awaken here. It's a special situation."
"Understood."
Xiyan gripped her magic wand tightly, ready to fight at any moment.
However, it was also somewhat strange. Why hadn't they seen many Mages within the Midias Empire's territory? Even when they did see them, most were low-level. Even the Mages guarding the defensive line on the city walls were at most Great Mage level.
Then the question arose: who branded those runes on the city walls that suppressed magic effectiveness, which at minimum required an Archmage to create?
Very soon, the little Princess knew the answer.
"Found them, over there!"
Somehow, several pursuers suddenly appeared behind them, and their levels weren't low either. Four Archmages and seven Great Mages.
"Your Highness, and you, hold tight to me!"
While speaking, little loli maid Xiyan had already hastily activated magic.
A beam of light engulfed them, immediately disappearing from their original spot. In the blink of an eye, they directly appeared beneath the city gate.
"Don't leave!"
"They're truly persistent!"
The little Princess said, looking at the Archmages behind them who teleported over together using magic.
Facing the ordinary soldiers blocking the way ahead, Xiyan waved her magic wand twice, instantly using earth walls to block these soldiers outside while also obstructing the pursuers behind them.
Whether it was heaven's blessing or because that "Deity of Abundance" simply hadn't awakened, running all this way they hadn't encountered any obstruction from the "Deity of Abundance."
"Head toward the army now!"
The little Princess commanded Xiyan.
"Understood."
Upon hearing this, Xiyan immediately picked up the little Princess, grabbed an empty carriage by the roadside, threw the little Princess onto it, then immediately applied several layers of magic to the horse, having Xiao Xi drive the carriage to race madly toward the army's location at high speed.
"Your Highness, um, my magic power is almost depleted..."
"Can you make it to the army?"
Xiyan roughly calculated:
"If I don't need to continue using other magic, yes."
The little Princess fell slightly silent.
When reaching the defensive line, they'd probably still need magic to forcibly break through. Even if those soldiers on the defensive line weren't in the city, they should know to stop her.
"It's fine. Continue on the way."
The little Princess took out a bottle of magic power potion and handed it to little loli maid Xiyan.
Right now, they were probably at the end of their resources. Without magic power, Xiyan had no difference except being slightly stronger than her. Even with magic power potions, they only accelerated magic power recovery speed. They couldn't instantly restore a portion of magic power.
And although Xiao Xi's close combat ability was very strong, no matter how strong, she couldn't defeat that many people.
Plus, there was still a group of Mage pursuers behind them. No matter how you thought about it, they couldn't win.
As for herself, she could only say she had the strength to truss a chicken at best. Any random person bigger than her could probably subdue her.
"Um, Your Highness?"
Xiao Xi shook the little Princess, pointing ahead at a group of people wearing black cloaks with strange symbols printed on their hoods.
What... were those!? Planning to use their flesh to form a wall to forcibly stop the carriage?
Wearing strange clothes and blocking the carriage's path, had this group never died before?
The next second, all the strange people wearing black cloaks suddenly raised both hands toward them, murmuring something in their mouths, seemingly chanting to release magic...
"Oh no! Your Highness, get down quickly!"
No time to think further, Maid Xiao Xi released the reins and immediately tackled the little Princess down.
