323~ Imposter Princess!
"Just once! Please believe me one more time! This time it'll definitely succeed!"
The Little Princess's lips twitched slightly.
"You're using a magic you just researched that you haven't even personally tested yourself yet, and you're dragging me along to use it with you. If something happens, aren't you afraid Fei will come settle accounts with you?"
"It's fine, it's fine. No matter what, I'm still a Great Archmage. There's no way I'd let anything happen to Princess Mo!"
If even she couldn't guarantee the Little Princess's safety, then other people would have even less ability to guarantee it.
"Then you should just fly me over. Stop using that broken magic of yours!"
"But it's still 900 kilometers!"
An extra 200 kilometers meant having to fly longer. She couldn't guarantee bringing the Little Princess to Glaze City before sunset.
"That's still better than you using Folding Space Magic again to send us to an even farther place, right?"
"I already said it was just an accident! Princess Mo, please stop being so particular about it!"
"Accident my big fat ghost!"
She absolutely refused to use Folding Space Magic with Cecilia to go to Glaze City again, no matter what she said now. Who knew if Cecilia's so-called "accident" would happen again and make her vomit once more?
Just now during the folding, she'd already been completely disoriented, and she'd nearly fallen apart completely. If it happened one more time, she really feared she couldn't handle it.
"Fine then! I'll give Princess Mo amplification! With amplification, the effects from folding space will be greatly reduced. Is that acceptable?"
"No! Fly there!"
She didn't trust Cecilia!
She even dared to use the Folding Space Magic she'd just researched with her, this useless princess who didn't have a shred of magic power. Who knew if the magic she'd apply to her body next would also be a test product she'd just researched?
"Princess Mo, hurry up. If we delay any longer, we might truly run out of time!"
As she spoke, she'd already applied several layers of protective magic to the Little Princess's body, as well as Space Stabilization Magic. She applied five layers total, able to guarantee the Little Princess's safety and comfort during the use of Folding Space Magic to the maximum extent.
She had no intention of persuading the Little Princess. She was going to directly take the Little Princess and use Folding Space Magic again.
Casually adjusting the number of space folds and the distance of each layer, plus ultra-long-distance Magic Detection positioning, she had a premonition that this Folding Space Magic would definitely succeed!
Even if there was deviation, it wouldn't deviate too absurdly.
After finishing everything, Cecilia grabbed the Little Princess with one hand and once again activated the Folding Space Magic with adjusted coordinates.
"Hey! You know this is murdering the Imperial Consort, right!?"
"No, I'm only ensuring Princess Mo can arrive at Glaze City as soon as possible. How can you say I'm murdering?"
Folding the space before her multiple times, a space tunnel formed by folding space appeared before her eyes. The only problem was that passing through would bring strong discomfort and issues like shaking and vibration.
"I don't want to go in..."
"This isn't up to you, Princess Mo. Today no matter what, you must go in with me!"
"Ahhh!"
Entering the space tunnel established by Folding Space Magic, the Little Princess clenched her fists and gripped Cecilia's clothes tightly. But the same strong discomfort as before didn't appear, only causing her slight dizziness.
"Princess Mo, I told you it would be fine, right?"
Passing through the space tunnel, just as they landed, the Little Princess discovered that the architectural style around them was Glaze Nation's architectural style!
This time, the Folding Space Magic actually truly had no problems and accurately brought them to Glaze City!?
"Then, Princess Mo, please let go."
Her clothes had been gripped tightly the entire time, and the Little Princess was completely hanging on her body. If the clothes hadn't been reinforced with several layers of magic by her own hand, they would've been torn apart by the Little Princess in the space tunnel long ago.
"Oh..."
Her toes touched the ground, but she still felt her head was somewhat dizzy, and the surrounding buildings felt somewhat unreal.
"Military Police! It's those two over there! They suddenly appeared in the city! They're really too suspicious! Quickly arrest both of them!"
"Eh?"
She hadn't expected that just as she landed, she'd be surrounded as a suspicious person and have the Military Police called on her.
"Princess?"
"Mm-hm! It's me!"
The Little Princess swayed her cat tail.
She was Glaze Nation's First Princess! Her portrait had long been hung throughout all the cities of Glaze Nation. How could anyone in Glaze Nation not recognize her?
"Someone come! Arrest this person who dares to disguise herself as Princess for me! Prepare for interrogation!"
"Huh?"
The Little Princess's hand froze in mid-air. Cecilia rubbed her temples on the side.
She also couldn't figure out what exactly had happened. Why did these Glaze Nation citizens suddenly not recognize the Little Princess?
"I'm Glaze Nation's First Princess!!! You dare arrest me, aren't you afraid of Father the King punishing you!?"
"Hmph, I've seen plenty of people like you disguising as Princess! The real Princess is already in the Glaze Royal Palace together with His Majesty. You, this person, actually still dare to impersonate Princess after the real Princess has returned... We must properly interrogate you!"
What the heck!? What do you mean the real Princess!? She's Glaze Nation's First Princess!
"Moreover, how could Princess possibly have black cat ears and tail like yours? You're clearly a witch disguised as Princess!"
"What..."
"Princess Mo, why don't we just directly kill our way into the Glaze Royal Palace to have a talk with your Father the King and that so-called 'princess'?"
"No... if we do that, many people will get hurt..."
At that time, even if she proved her identity as the true First Princess of Glaze Nation, it would still cause many people to have opinions about the Glaze Royal Family.
She absolutely couldn't leave such a hidden danger for the Glaze Royal Family!
The Glaze Royal Family itself had already been weakened considerably because of the previous unrest. If it weren't for her cheap Father the King's prestige and various policies being implemented together, plus her personally ending this unrest and various other factors, the Glaze Royal Family would've collapsed.
"But if we don't do that, the people around us are about to arrest us, you know?"
"Then... just let them arrest us!"
Later, she'd directly request to see that princess impersonating her and deceiving the citizens, as well as her cheap Father the King, and everything would come to light!
She only needed to speak the code phrase at the Military Police's General Commander's place, and the Commander would realize the problem!
Thinking of this, she extended her hand and let the Military Police handcuff her hands.
As long as she could see the Military Police's Commander!
Seeing this, Cecilia also helplessly extended both hands and let the handcuffs bind her hands.
Anyway, these people couldn't possibly harm her, and the Little Princess also possessed the crystal necklace given by the Empress, so she likewise wasn't afraid of suffering any harm.
"Take these two away!"
When being taken away by the Military Police, some people wanted to throw rotten eggs. But Cecilia merely gave a look and completely intimidated all those people preparing to throw rotten eggs at the Little Princess.
Without using any magic, just pure killing intent was enough to suppress this group of people. This was the killing intent accumulated by a Great Archmage from long-term killing...
However, aside from the last time she eliminated the leader of Scarlet Phoenix Nation's Previous Dynasty Remnants, she also hadn't made a move to eliminate anyone for quite a long time. She'd always been single-mindedly immersed in magic research and her slacker lifestyle.
Every day it was either researching magic or lying in bed slacking off.
......
After the two were brought to the dungeon and settled, they surprisingly discovered that this dungeon actually had several... her's who looked exactly like her!?
What the hell!
So it seemed that Military Police officer hadn't been talking nonsense. There really were many people impersonating her!?
Cecilia only swept the surrounding "Little Princesses" with her magic power once. Aside from the one beside her, all were fake, disguised with a type of magic with quite excellent disguise capabilities. Whether in details or fit, it was very perfect for anyone below Great Archmage level. Anyone below Great Archmage couldn't see any problems.
She could also roughly guess how much chaos such a large number of fake princesses entering Glaze Nation had caused.
But since the Empress's side still hadn't learned about it for so long, it meant that the entirety of Glaze Nation had probably been controlled.
This made her inevitably think of the result she'd seen on another timeline. Scarlet Phoenix Nation being destroyed... a large reason was because the Scarlet Phoenix Nation's Previous Dynasty Remnants within Glaze Nation's borders had developed!
She had to quickly inform the Empress.
Casually using magic to connect to the Empress's magic communication channel, after quickly explaining the current situation to the Empress, she sat beside the Little Princess.
"What does Princess Mo plan to do?"
"It's fine... As long as I see the Military Police's General Commander, all problems will be easily solved!"
The dozen or so surrounding "Little Princesses" all silently watched her, then lay down on the hay piles indifferently, as if waiting to watch the show.
Such clumsy acting, completely unlike her personality and behavior! If she were arrested and brought in, the first thing she'd do would be to find the Military Police's General Commander and speak the code phrase, then go see her cheap Father the King!
The only difference was that these imposters all seemed somewhat haggard in spirit.
Before long, an interrogator brought two soldiers to the cell where she was.
"Alright, newcomer, listen well now. I don't care who you are or how powerful your backing forces are, but anyone who dares to impersonate our Princess is guilty of a capital crime!"
The interrogator said imposingly, attempting to use this opportunity to scare the truth out of this newcomer.
But the Little Princess only glanced once before standing up.
"I want to see your superior, Erwin!"
This was the Military Police's General Commander's name. Most people who knew it were inside the Military Police. By directly calling out the name, this interrogator would definitely be able to perceive her difference from these imposters!
"See my superior? Is the General Commander's name something you're worthy of calling? You imposter!"
"Huh?"
She hadn't expected the interrogator to be completely unsurprised by this, even as if it had already happened many times before!
"You want to match the code phrase with the General Commander, right? Then let me tell you, all the imposters here have already tried! The code phrase has long been changed by the real Princess!"
"What!?"
The Little Princess stood frozen in place, at a loss for a moment.
"You come out! Confess all your masterminds behind the scenes to me! Who told you people to impersonate Princess!"
