173~ Escape~
"Remember, this operation's objective is to capture Lady Mo back. Understand?"
Red Leaf said to the two maids beside her.
Fearing she alone might fail in this plan to go to the Western Region and capture the little Princess back, she also brought along two Scarlet Maid Corps members.
Three Archmages, plus Xiyan who had always been by the little Princess's side, four in total. Capturing the little Princess back should be more than sufficient.
"Alright, let's depart."
Capture Lady Mo back as quickly as possible and complete Her Majesty's order.
Of course, this was also for Lady Mo's life safety.
At least in their view, they also felt the little Princess's journey was too dangerous, venturing deep into the Western Region alone, and even being controlled by a heretical cult of the Midias Empire.
"By the way, Her Majesty has ordered that if possible, at any cost, that order must be destroyed."
You have to know the Empress valued the little Princess very highly. This order's actions had undoubtedly already enraged the Empress.
"Understood."
The two maids replied.
At any cost!
......
"Mmm..."
Xiyan still locked herself in the room, with the lunch the little Princess sent over placed beside her.
Success was almost here! She had already grasped that feeling when casting. With just a few more attempts, she could master this magic!
Although with her magic power storage capacity, she might not be able to fully unleash this magic's power, if just using it to stall for time, it should be more than sufficient.
"Xiyan?"
"Mmph?"
Little loli maid Xiyan was startled, subconsciously collecting the magic book into her bosom, then quickly using fire magic to incinerate the failed products on the side.
"Xiyan, you've been inside for a very long time. It's time to come out and move your body a bit, right? Staying in the room all the time isn't good for your health."
"Wait a moment, Your Highness, it'll be quick!"
Then she used various magics to clean up the traces in the room.
Good, this way there should be no problems, right?
Little loli maid Xiyan thought.
"Your Highness~"
The room door opened. Xiyan very naturally pounced onto the little Princess.
"Xiyan!"
The little Princess forcefully patted Xiyan's little head.
After this little loli maid pounced over, her hands were actually impure!
After pushing Xiyan away, the little Princess patted her own bottom.
"Who did you learn this from!? Only learning bad things!"
After the little Princess finished speaking, she reached out and harshly gave little loli maid Xiyan's head a flick.
"Wuwu... Xiyan was just careless... Does Lady Mo not like Xiyan anymore?"
"......"
Looking at little loli maid Xiyan who had already squeezed out a tear, she was somehow possessed and chose to forgive, reaching out to rub Xiyan's little head and choosing forgiveness.
"Alright, alright, hurry and get up. Just be more careful next time."
"Hehe~"
The corner of the little Princess's mouth twitched slightly.
She was probably already used to this appearance of Xiyan's. Once forgiven, her face immediately changed.
"Your Highness, Your Highness~ Did you call me out for something?"
"Not really. I was just somewhat worried about you."
The main worry was that this little loli maid was researching some dangerous magic in the room. However, now that it looked like there were no problems, she was relieved.
As long as Xiyan was fine.
"Your Highness, are you concerned about me?"
Xiyan's face was full of expectation as she leaned forward to ask.
"Uh..."
"Your Highness~"
"Alright, alright, alright. I am worried about you."
The little Princess helplessly continued rubbing Xiyan's little head a few more times.
"Hehehe~"
"Your Highness, when do we start?"
"Tonight."
Let's leave this broken place tonight.
These days she had already roughly calculated their approximate location, and also calculated the army's approximate direction. They just needed to grab a carriage and escape back.
It looked quite simple, but would things really go as smoothly as imagined?
She wasn't certain. Uncertain what Elysia's own strength was, also didn't know if there would be several Archmages inside the Abundance Order.
This was a huge gamble. If they couldn't escape, it probably wouldn't be as simple as the current soft confinement. They'd probably be directly locked up separately.
Based on these order members' degree of devotion to that Deity of Abundance Midilayo, they could absolutely do such things.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
......
"General! Two more days have passed, and even the person we sent hasn't returned! Just allow us to storm in!"
General: "......"
He didn't know what to do. The order he received from the little Princess was that unless the Midias Empire attacked the army first, they absolutely couldn't easily fire.
But now Her Highness was suspected of being controlled. The soldiers sent to reconnoiter hadn't returned either. There probably truly was some variable.
Damn it. What to do? Should he really disobey Her Highness's order and storm in? Her Highness's order clearly was...
"General!"
"My apologies. Please have the brothers wait a while longer. I'll personally go talk and observe the situation."
Right now, this was the only way he could comfort the soldiers. Neither disobeying the little Princess's order while temporarily stabilizing the unrest in the army.
Your Highness, what exactly happened to you...
To be honest, he was also very worried. But aside from worrying, he also had no other solutions.
If truly, their Princess was truly controlled by the Midias Empire's royal family, he would definitely personally lead the army to attack.
"Please don't let anything happen, Your Highness..."
......
......
At night, using the night's cover, the little Princess silently used a dagger to pry open the door lock, bringing the two maids to shuttle through this church.
"Xiao Xi, lead the way!"
"Understood."
Xiao Xi remembered the carriage's location most clearly. Back then, she was the one told to search for it.
"Xiyan, sense the surrounding situation. If someone comes, remind me."
"Okay, Your Highness."
As for herself, naturally she was thinking about how to escape from here with the minimum commotion.
What to do? If it was a carriage, no matter what, it would definitely make some commotion. When the people inside the order reacted, they'd be in trouble.
"Your Highness, get on the carriage."
After confirming together with Xiyan that the carriage had absolutely no problems, Xiao Xi called to the little Princess.
When boarding the carriage, Xiyan slightly released a few small magics to make riding this carriage not too terrible an experience.
When boarding the carriage, Xiao Xi conveniently fed the horse some grass and grain, then gripped the reins tightly and gave them a forceful snap.
......
"Lord Bishop! This is terrible!"
"Mm?"
Elysia, still somewhat dazed on the bed, rubbed her eyes.
"What happened?"
"Lady Saint took her two maids and ran!!!"
