Chapter 42 - I've Finally Escaped
"Clang, clang, clang.
"
Hearing the last wave of patrolling soldiers, Faith let out a sigh of relief.
It wasn't that she couldn't beat them.
It was that her actions this time were covert.
If she was exposed, it meant that her escape plan had failed.
It wasn't that there weren't mages stronger than her in the Royal City Knights.
She had to be careful.
If she were to be captured, she would definitely be sealed.
She might not have the chance to escape.
She took a deep breath.
Faith quietly walked to the warehouse door and secretly opened a crack.
Okay!
There was no one here.
Faith nimbly came out of the warehouse.
Then, in her plan, she just had to cross the street in front of her.
After crossing the city gate, she would arrive outside the imperial city.
It was already late at night.
It had been half a day since she escaped.
Under the cover of the sky, now was her best chance to escape.
Along the street, Faith cast a gale spell on herself.
It could make her body lighter and her footsteps lighter.
She was afraid that she would make some strange noise and attract unnecessary attention.
When she passed through the street and saw the city gate, a few illumination spells rose from near the city gate.
These were some low-level mages who had rushed over to provide assistance at night.
"Damn it!
"
She did not expect that these mages who were supposed to reinforce the city defense in the middle of the night would come so early because of her escape.
This completely messed up Faith's plan.
In her plan, she had to make use of the night to create chaos at the city gate and use Phoenix Magic to speed up her escape.
However, the appearance of the illumination spell made this plan completely ineffective.
She had to think of a new way now.
When she looked around, she suddenly saw the river beside her.
Thus, she made up her mind.
Using the gale spell, she quickly jumped into the river.
She wanted to follow the current and rush out.
As a princess, she had never suffered like this.
However, for the sake of freedom, she was willing to give it her all.
However, she seemed to have underestimated the vigilance of the city gate guards.
Hearing the noises nearby, the crowd immediately shouted.
"Who is it!
"
The low-level illumination mages also focused their light beams near Princess Faith.
At this moment, Faith saw that there was a lot of light above her head.
She could only hold her breath, not daring to make a sound.
She didn't even dare to breathe.
She was afraid that even the slightest bit of abnormality would attract the attention of these people.
As she held her breath for a longer period of time, Faith's consciousness became more and more blurry.
But she still didn't give up.
She thought that freedom might be more important to her than anything else.
Finally, after holding her breath for too long, Faith lost consciousness.
At the last moment, she cast a wind-type spell on herself as a push.
This was the last thing she could do before she fainted.
...
"Sister Thor, this person is so strange. She likes to soak in water.
"
"Idiot, that's not like like, it's drowning.
"
"Sister Thor, why do we have to save humans?
"
"Because Master is a human. He needs to find these beautiful humans to do strange things to be happy.
"
"Why does master want to find them to be happy? Isn't he happy with us?
"
"You're still young, you don't understand.
"
"Oh, oh, sister Thor, I understand. Then I must make master happy in the future.
"
Looking at Hermione who was clenching her fists and swearing to herself, Thor felt that she might have let her think wrongly.
But it didn't matter.
Because the human in front of him seemed to be waking up.
Faith slowly woke up.
Her eyes were filled with confusion.
She looked at the familiar sky and lay on the solid ground.
Faith's eyes suddenly lit up.
She was just about to speak, but after soaking in the water for too long, the fluid in her chest made her cough violently.
The violent cough also gave Thor and Hermione a fright.
Because this human in front of them looked very strange.
It was clearly a painful cough and nausea.
But there was an indescribable excitement and excitement on her face.
This human, was she crazy?
Hermione curiously placed her small hand in front of Faith's eyes and waved it.
Only then did Faith react.
There was someone else next to her.
Her gaze swept over. She wore a maid's outfit and had blonde hair and a delicate face. She also had a head of white hair and cute eyes.
This was a rare combination.
But these two should be her saviors.
Faith was about to say thank you, but the fluid stuck in her lungs, causing her to cough violently.
As a water mage, Faith had the ability to control the fluid to drain out of her body.
But that required her to be in a magical state.
Right now, she was weak and couldn't use any strength.
She couldn't perform this step at all.
Thor and Hermione looked at each other.
It was confirmed.
"So she's a mute.
"
Faith:
"?
"
But after hearing their conversation, she decided to shut up first.
Because she knew how terrifying it was for a weak and beautiful girl to randomly appear in the wild.
Especially now that she didn't know anything about the outside world.
Although the two girls in front of her seemed a little stupid, they did save her.
As long as she got through this, she wouldn't have to do the menial work of these maids in the future.
She would directly enjoy her life with her.
She would become a female mage who roamed the continent, and the two of them would be the female mage's lackeys.
After making up her mind, Faith also decided to act dumb.
She spoke to the two of them in sign language that she did not know what she was doing.
She pointed at her own throat and waved her hand.
Thor and Hermione finally confirmed it.
"She is indeed a mute.
"
"Then you should come back with us first. Our master will be very happy to see you.
"
After saying that, Thor and Hermione pulled Faith up and they walked together.
Hearing that the two maids had a master, Faith immediately thought of the sinister and cunning lords in many novels and stories.
Their favorite thing to do was to bully the people of the territory and rape the young girls.
If she was brought back with them, wouldn't that be akin to that sort of fate?!
Thinking of this, Faith tried to resist with all her might.
But she was helpless. In her weakened state, she couldn't even use any magic power.
How could she have the strength to break free from the two maids?
Faith only felt that she was clamped by two pincers and couldn't move at all.
Looked at Faith who was constantly trying to break free, Thor thought that she didn't want to trouble her and wanted to walk on her own.
So she lifted Faith up proudly.
"F*ck, what do you want!
"
Faith's eyes were full of fear. She had no idea what this maid named Thor was going to do.
"Hold on tight.
"
Thor gave Faith a look that she thought would be handsome.
Then, she ran at the speed of a human.
Although Thor pulled back on her strength, at this moment, Faith couldn't stand this kind of torture.
She only wanted to say.
"I'm dying!! Quickly let me down!!! I'm a princess!
"
