Chapter 278: Chapter 223: Betrayal_1
“Bambi always has a terrible premonition…”
Navigating through the pitch-dark well path, Bambi anxiously looked at lfy, who sat on her shoulder, and spoke. lfy also gave a serious nod in return.
“I feel the sa way… I hope nothing happens to Lady Mistelina…”
The reason for their unease was not unfounded. In fact, they had followed Mistelina’s trail the whole way and eventually arrived at the Royal City. The wandering rchant they t there stunned them with so news: he had indeed seen Mistelina and a witch enter the city, but to the rchant, the witch was a dangerous entity…
“She worships Three-Fingers, and aims for Wildfire trying to break the ancient seal buried beneath the Royal City… You guys need to be careful, this is extrely dangerous.”
While both girls didn’t understand what Wildfire was, they once heard Lani with Duanmu Huai ntion the term Three-Fingers – as the legend goes, there was a dispute among representatives of the Supre Will years ago, in which one faction wanted to completely destroy the Borderlands and restore this place to the lting Pot of Life. However, this faction failed and was sealed underneath the Royal City. This was the legend of the Three-Fingers.
But why… Why is Mistelina with the witch of the Three-Fingers?
“Lady Mistelina would never want to destroy the Borderland, she must have been deceived!!”
lfy tightens her grip on the slim sword subtly whispering to herself in anxiety. Bambi, however, remained silent, when suddenly she caught sight of a flash of red light passing before her eyes.
“Found it!”
As Bambi’s words fell, in the blink of an eye, the Vampire Princess transford into a multitude of bats, enclosing lfy, and sped towards the depths of the sewer. The mass of bats sward through the rotting and reeking sewer, reaching the deepest layers. Following this, the swarm condensed once again, transforming back into Bambi.
“Lady Mistelina!!”
Simultaneously, lfy and Bambi laid eyes on Mistelina. At this point, the Forest Princess didn’t seem her usual lively self, her armor lay scattered all around, burn marks covered her body. The Forest Princess lay on the ground, her eyes dim and lifeless, as if death had claid her.
“Your Highness, are you okay?!”
Seeing this, lfy scread. She rushed to Mistelina’s side, gazing at her, her hand reaching out anxiously.
“Your Highness……”
“Stay back!!”
However, as lfy reached out, Mistelina suddenly swung upwards and leaped to her feet, distancing herself from lfy and Bambi.
“Lady Mistelina??”
“Big sister??”
Seeing Mistelina’s state of agitation, both lfy and Bambi beco frantic. They had not expected Mistelina to beco this terrifying entity — for a mont, they were confused and didn’t know what to do. lfy stared at Mistelina, her voice filled with surprise and unease.
“Your Highness, what… what has happened to you… what exactly is going on?”
“Stay away from , lfy…”
Looking at the two before her, Mistelina bore a mournful expression.
“I made an idiotic decision that resulted in the Borderlands being on the brink of obliteration… I didn’t want to do this, I was just… No, this is just an excuse, the truth is that I did have an inkling that.. her intentions do not seem good. But I didn’t heed the warnings, as I didn’t want to face a failure just like before…”
“Lady Mistelina??”
“Big sister, what are you talking about??”
Hearing Mistelina’s broken speech left the two utterly confused. All the while, Mistelina lifted her shield and sword, her gaze fixed solely on them.
“Don’t co any closer, go away, lfy. It’s my command… Assu I’m already dead…”
“How… how can that be?”
“My apologies to father for . I’m sorry, my foolish actions lead to this outco… this is my punishnt.”
“I truly do not understand what you’re saying, Lady Mistelina!”
lfy once again approached her, only for Mistelina to raise her weapon, barring lfy’s path.
“Ugh…what a pain, let Bambi ask Sir Knight.”
Seeing this, Bambi tilted her head slightly, closed her eyes, and made contact with Duanmu Huai.
After a mont, Bambi opened her eyes.
“Bambi, what did Sir Knight say?”
“Sir’s answer was pretty straightforward.”
As she spoke, Bambi raised both hands. Along with her actions, the petite figure of the Night Princess slowly lifted into the air. A swarm of bats materialized from her surroundings. Simultaneously, a blood-red Iron Hamr appeared over Bambi’s head. In the next instant, it turned into a beam of red light, enveloping Bambi.
Next, a strong magic power suddenly erupted.
“If she will not comply, then we shall knock her unconscious and take her back! Leave it to Bambi!”
As Bambi’s words echoed, the next mont an innurable number of bats erged from behind the Night Princess and swooped directly towards Mistelina!
