The Forgotten Princess Wants to Live in Peace - Chapter 10

Two hours later, a carriage pulled by six horses and an escort of six horsemen departed the inn, leaving behind the merchant couple who had received ten gold coins from Khazar in return for bringing Louie.

The carriage headed towards the Entry Gate.

The Entry Gate, which made the empire inviolable for a thousand years, was the first of the ‘Three Blessings’ that the dragon gave to the first emperor, Cantio.

[Let no one invade]

Due to the ‘Dragon’s Protection’ surrounding the border, it was not possible to enter other than using the Entry Gate. It’s like a transparent wall blocking the way. Leaving the Empire is free, but anyone who wants to enter the Empire must go through an Entry Gate.

Louie, who was almost hanging from the carriage window, saw the Entry Gate from afar and opened his mouth.

A huge arched door made of stone stood up like a mountain. The heavy-looking door stood firmly without any support.

When Louie saw the Entry Gate he had seen in a children’s book, he couldn’t hide his excitement.

“Wow. I should brag to my sister that I actually saw the Entry Gate.”

Unlike Louie, who rejoiced as he rolled his feet, there was a shadow on Khazar’s face. Although he’s on his way to pick her up, he couldn’t guarantee Eluana’s life or death. Smart Louie wouldn’t know either, but he didn’t seem to mind.

The fortunate thing is that, judging from the last sighting. Regis seems to have ordered a ‘capture’. But there would be no treatment …

‘Stay alive’ Then I will save you somehow.

Khazar owed his life to the Vita siblings. And the two of them do not know, but his life was quite expensive.

Even today, the front of the Entry Gate was crowded with merchants going in and out of the empire.

There were three long lines, the one on the left was for the tops to pass, and the one for nobles and soldiers in the middle. The one on the right is for the Imperial Family. The carriage with Khazar and Louie entered the far-right row.

As a person disembarked from the carriage that arrived right in front of the Entry Gate, everyone’s eyes focused on Khazar’s delicate facial features. There was only one Royal with black hair and blue eyes.

4th Prince Khazar Arcas Fortuna.

The sudden appearance of the prince made the guards at the Entry Gate busy. The garrison commander, who was taking a leisurely nap, ran out without even wearing his armor properly.

Meanwhile, Khazar touched the round stone in front of the gate. The entrance and exit procedures were completed when the light came on and then became quiet on the stone.

“I did not know that Your Majesty was in the Kingdom of Belua.”

“I was on a secret mission. I am going to Aden.”

This makes Khazar’s visit ‘official’.

The wagon quickly crossed the gate and accelerated. Louie, who was looking out from inside the carriage said.

“Can we not stand in line?”

“yes.”

“Are you rich?”

“It’s similar.”

Louie soon understood. Dressed up properly, Khazar looked like the main character in a fairy tale book. Besides, they were both in a carriage pulled by six horses. Six of the older brothers on horseback are also following them.

So, he will save my sister. Like the prince in a fairy tale.

“thank god.”

Khazar asked Louie, who was smiling

“Where are you going to take Eluana with you?”

“Can’t we go back to my house?”

Although it was broken, Louie liked the house in Aden.

“After I leave, the First Prince may retaliate”

“Is it garbage?”

When asked with innocent eyes, Khazar was speechless.

“How about Eluana?”

“yes. I heard you mumble.”

Khazar said with a chuckle. “I’ll take you to Ron Vita.”

By meeting him, he would be able to answer the question of the alchemy ability that Eluana used.

“Oh, no. that is.”

Louie was confused. It’s not that he doesn’t believe in Khazar, but he was told not to tell anyone that Ron is dead.

Khazar looked at Louie with his eyes rolling. Eluana, too, faltered in her words.

Khazar decided that when he met Eluana, he should seriously ask her. If she has nowhere to go, it’s not bad for him to take her along.

Khazar stared at the three beams of light that continued to follow Louie. I can’t be sure because the mana concentration is low, but the child had the talent of a wizard. Louie reclined on a chair and fell asleep while Khazar thought of a suitable magic academy.

The wagons and horses that passed through the Entry Gate ran non-stop. As a result, they were able to arrive in Aden at sunrise. The wagon went straight into the main gate of Aden Castle.

When the escorts told the guards what one of the guards was saying, he opened the door in amazement. The carriage stopped in front of the castle.

Khazar got off the carriage and held out his hand to Louie. Without hesitation, he stretched out his arms and grabbed the child who was coming and lowered him to the floor.

“Let’s go to my sister.”

When Khazar turned around, holding Louie’s hand, someone rushed out

“Your Majesty.”

He was the lord of Aden who ran out after hearing the news.

Khazar interrupted his lengthy greeting with one flick of his hand.

“Where is Eluana Vita? “

The lord of Aden wanted to cry.

The 1st Prince took him, the Duke of Spess saved him, and now the 4th Prince has appeared and was looking for them.

“She’s in the guest room on the 4th floor. “

Khazar’s eyes narrowed with suspicion. Not a prison cell, but a guest room?

Hearing the birds chirping, Eluana opened her eyes. As if she fainted, she fell asleep and then she woke up repeatedly. It became easier to move her body, but the burning sensation in her back remained the same.

I must go find Louie

My mind was impatient, but my body didn’t follow, and it was frustrating.

Eluana got up from her bed and opened the door to the terrace. Her golden hair was messed up by the breeze. Even with the fresh wind, her chest was still stuffy.

She let out a small sigh and the door opened wide. Seeing the person who entered, Eluana doubted her eyes. The nostalgic pink rushed in.

“Sister!”

Now her knees were wobbly as he weighed quite a bit.

Am I dreaming now? Even a dream is good

Eluana hugged her Louie tightly. When she felt the child’s warmth, she realized it.

It’s Louie, my baby.

Presuming that the soldiers had arrived, Eluana stroked Louie’s soft hair

“Sister is a liar. You said you’re not going to heaven.”

A faint smile appeared on her lips as she felt Louie cry in her arms. Now she seemed to be breathing properly.

“I didn’t go. I’ll stay by your side until Louie says it’s annoying.”

“… no one.”

“huh?”

“I’m going to make sure no one does anything bad to my sister.”

“okay.”

“Really.”

I know.”

“I will grow up soon, so do not die.”

As Louie finally burst into tears, Eluana thought she was lucky. She was very fortunate to have survived and met Louie again.

“Khazar?”

When she felt a presence and lifted her head, there was a person she had never expected to appear. He was even dressed in fancy clothes as if he was the 1st prince.

“let’s go. I’m here to pick you up.”

“me?”

Eluana’s eyes widened as if she had heard something unbelievable. In the future Eluana had envisioned, there was no chance of Khazar coming to pick her up.

“Did the soldiers bring you?”

“Soldiers? Oh, I didn’t get caught. I’m here to pick you up”

“Oh, that’s it.”

“The 1st Prince is nothing to worry about. He won’t be able to stop me if I come through the front door.”

“No that’s it.”

Khazar had the intention of making a deal with Regis at the risk of abdication if necessary. For the price of burying it, he will have no choice but to let me go.

Eluana had a feeling that something was going wrong.

As she struggled to figure out where to begin, the door slammed open.

“Duke?”

It was when Eluana, who was startled, reflexively sent Louie behind her back.

Someone ran in with a terrifying force.

Eluana, who checked her opponent’s face, called him.

Khazar couldn’t help but doubt his eyes. The man who rushed in like an angry boar was the Duke of Spess.

The Duke of Spess checked the face of Khazar and recovered the golden stream that had broken the door.

Seeing that the golden stream was changing into the shape of a sharp dagger, Eluana raised her hand and spoke hastily.

“No! I told you there was a kid who was locked up with me. This is him! He came to pick me up.”

“You look like Ron Vita.”

The golden dagger that fluttered in the Duke of Spess” hand quickly turned into a round golden bead. He approached Eluana with a gold bead in his hand.

“Are you okay?”

After Eluana nodded her head lightly to indicate that she was okay with it, the Duke of Spess’ momentum softened. Soon he found Louie hiding behind Eluana’s skirt.

A lovely child with pink hair and pink eyes.

“Why are you here 4th Prince?”

A glimpse of love and sadness flashed in the Duke of Spess’ golden eyes. The Duke who soon turned his gaze, asked Khazar in a calm voice.

“The 4th Prince?”

Eluana asked, stammering until the end. She even took Louie back and widened her distance.

Khazar, whose identity was revealed, rubbed his neck. When Eluana suddenly became alert, he even felt a little sad.

Calling Regis “Prince’ or ‘Prince Bastard’ or looking straight into my eyes and calling me ‘you’ or ‘Khazar’ was a bit fresh.

Louie, who was sticking his head out from behind Eluana’s skirt, clenched his mouth in surprise.

“He said he was rich, but he was a prince.”

Until now, to Louie, the prince meant Regis. In other words, it was a piece of human garbage. But Khazar was also a prince. Of course, he thought he was like a prince. However, there were many differences between being like a prince and being a prince.

Confused, Louie hid behind Eluana’s skirt.

“I didn’t mean to say this.”

Khazar stared at the Duke of Spess with a stern gaze. It was the same with the Duke who was uncomfortable. He hurried to answer with an overbearing attitude.

“Your Majesty the 4th Prince, you haven’t answered my question yet.”

“How did it happen?”

“Please explain so that I do not misunderstand.”

It looked like he was asking for an explanation rather than an excuse. In fact, he also wanted to know the reason why he was standing here.

The beginning of this story is betrayal.
