"What a bunch of idiots. They even let me out, haha.
"
nThis clear and proud laughter made people feel that she must be a beautiful and noble lady.
nHowever, this noble lady was holding her skirt and hiding in a warehouse.
nThis warehouse had been abandoned for many years, so no one was here.
nHence, there was dust everywhere.
nBut even so, the dust and the scattered rubbish did not affect her temperament.
nShe noticed that there was no movement outside.
nThe lady holding her dress carefully came out from her hiding place.
nEven though she was running away, her tender skin and crafty eyes gave off a sense of intelligence.
nThey all revealed her grasp of her current situation.
n
"There's still a wave of soldiers patrolling. This place will become the vacuum of the imperial city.
"
n
"When the time comes, I will be able to directly escape from the Imperial City.
"
nThinking of this, the beautiful girl wearing a gorgeous dress turned her beautiful eyes.
nThis was the escape route that she had long figured out.
nIt was to avoid the stupid arrangement of her muddle-headed father.
nAt the thought of this, Faith clenched her small hands tightly, very angry.
nShe didn't know who told the old king to make her marry a prince from another country wholeheartedly.
nHe didn't care if she agreed or not, and arranged it.
nAt the thought of this, Faith also sighed.
nIf she was an ordinary princess, she might have listened to the arrangement.
nAfter all, as a princess, she was already very lucky to be able to marry a real prince.
nMore princesses were arranged by the king to marry ministers, and some were married to other kings.
nIt sounded good, but they were all old men.
nIt was a complete political marriage.
nThere was no love at all.
nShe was the kingdom's Princess Faith, the pearl of the entire kingdom.
nHow could she accept such a fate?
nAs the most outstanding student of the kingdom's Magic Academy, her spiritual power and affinity for water magic were both top-notch.
nHer affinity for wind magic was even higher.
nIf such a talent were to be placed in the kingdom's academy, it would become an existence that could crush them.
nIt might take three years to pass the apprenticeship period.
nIt took only half a year for Faith to break through and learn her first spell.
nThen, she broke through continuously.
nAll the way up.
nAt the age of 16, she broke through to the low-level and became a middle-level wind mage of the fourth rank.
nIf one had to describe it, it would be that at the age of 16, she became the best university graduate in the country.
nAnd also the most outstanding one.
nAfter that, whether she chose to study in a higher magic academy or choose to start her own life, Faith could choose freely.
nJust as Faith was about to make her choice...
nThe kingdom's 8th rank mage, Mondo, noticed her,
nHer dazzling result shocked even the kingdom's 8th rank mage, Mondo.
nHe immediately accepted Faith as his disciple.
nThen, as a teacher, he wrote a recommendation letter and went to the continent's top magic academy to further his studies.
nShe was already young, beautiful, and extremely talented.
nHer future was also bright.
nPrincess Faith became the idol of all the men in Langham.
nEveryone looked forward to a romantic encounter with this girl who was as dazzling as the sun.
nSimilarly, the outstanding Faith became the old king's treasure to show off on various social occasions.
nBut this show-off didn't matter.
nPrincess Faith was also fancied by the princes of other countries.
nIn the thought that women are to marry, the old king was actually helping his daughter to find a candidate.
nSo at the age of 16, the old king chose a prince.
nHe wanted to marry off his daughter.
nThe prince's country's strength is likely similar to that of Langham.
nIf the other side married Princess Faith, those two families will be allies for generations.
nAnd the Prince promised that if Princess Faith married him, she would be the only princess.
nNo woman could compete with Princess Faith for the position.
nThese promises made the King and Queen very moved.
nThe King was moved by the promised allies.
nAfter all, he was old, and his sons were not very capable.
nWhen the time came, it would definitely take a lot of trouble to decide who would inherit the throne.
nThe most worrying thing was that because of this, the country would be in great turmoil.
nBut as long as Faith married over, he would have an ally.
nWith this powerful ally who loved his daughter, even if these people had their own little thoughts, they would not dare to make any rash moves.
nAnd the Queen also had her own thoughts.
nAs a woman, she knew very well how much she had paid to become the queen and how much blood and tears she had shed.
nHow much she had suffered and schemed against.
nBefore she finally succeeded in becoming the queen.
nJust like that.
nThe king still had many concubines and many lovers.
nAll of these were threatening her position at any time.
nIf the other party was only willing to marry Faith as the only princess, the future queen, this lovely daughter of hers would suffer a lot less.
nIt wasn't that she hadn't examined the prince's character.
nIt could be seen that the other party truly liked Faith. Moreover, she was young and promising. Other than looking very ordinary, she didn't have any other shortcomings.
nShe also didn't have any bad habits.
nIt can be said that the queen acted out of her own experience.
nShe chose what she thought would be the best outcome for Faith.
nHowever, while the King and the Queen were playing their little tricks...
nThey also made the biggest mistake of an experienced person.
nThey forget that their daughter, in addition to being a princess, was also a magician.
nAnd a genius magician at that.
nWhen she knew that her fate was decided by her parents...
nFaith resolutely launched her escape plan.
nAre you kidding? She was an outstanding graduate of the Kingdom's Magic Academy.
nShe was a future grand magician who could roam the continent.
nHow could she marry a prince of an unknown country so early?
nThis would delay her future.
nAnd so...
nIn the middle of the night, Princess Faith unsurprisingly disappeared from the imperial city.
nAt first, the King and Queen thought that Faith was just throwing a tantrum.
nSo they were not in a hurry. They just sent some people to keep an eye on her and report back as soon as they had any news.
nBut as time passed, something seemed amiss.
nThey finally realized that Princess Faith had run away!
nHow could this be!
nThe two of them immediately sent people to seal off all the exits in the imperial city.
nThey also ordered the mages of the Imperial City to activate all the magic circuits.
nThey couldn't let their daughter run out.
nAt this moment, the two of them suddenly realized.
nThe little chick that had grown under their wings had already grown to this extent.
nThe cage that they had built with heavy gold could no longer hold this canary.
nAnd this canary still wanted to escape.
nThis made the kingdom think that he had lost his temper.
nHe gave a death order.
nTell the people of the king's city guards to find her!
