Chapter 123 The Disappearing Princess

"It seems that we need to really push that scoundrel into the dark abyss. Allowing that kind of man to be free will lead to tragedy. All this is for the prosperity of the country! In order to awaken the eyes of my brother and mother, as a princess, I should stand up!"

Minerva was intoxicated by her own words, but at the same time she was overwhelmed by resentment towards her current situation.

She couldn't accept that such a brilliant idea was not listened to. It was all the fault of that scoundrel, and Minerva once again harbored a very selfish grudge.

"That man is actually my brother. It's such a big trouble! My ancestors must be crying for this in the underworld! That scoundrel dared to steal my limelight. How shameless!"

Of course, these were just her own selfish desires. She didn't realize that she was using the interests of the country as an excuse to eliminate the obstacles in her eyes.

"Well, for the sake of the bright future of the Kingdom of Sforia, it has been decided to remove that scoundrel... The question is how to do it."

The annoying thing is that Sede has a lot of supporters. Especially Austin and Felini are behind him, which is too troublesome. Once you make a rash move, they will soon notice it.

However, she could not take any action from inside the palace. As she was pondering what to do, she happened to look outside.

She saw a man in a ragged robe quietly walking into the woods. She was very familiar with this man, who was Biz, who had always coveted the position of court magician.

His ambition was so strong that everyone around him felt the crisis. He was now almost frozen from work and had not appeared in the palace for a long time. There were even rumors that he had resigned and returned to the countryside.

"That twinkle in the eye...there was no doubt about it."

Minerva was oddly confident. Biz was far from giving up. Not only that, he was even waiting for an opportunity. And, she had a feeling, he might be creating it himself.

"Haha, it seems I have found a clue." Minerva smiled slyly, slipped out of the back door of the palace quietly, and walked towards the woods where Biz entered.

She just disappeared, with no sign of reappearing, and the morning was greeted by a cloudy sky.

In a private room, some tightly bound soldiers were found, and the morning in the palace became unusually noisy, but the protagonist himself was completely unaware of it.

————————————————————

"Ah, Her Royal Highness the Princess disappeared?"

"Yes. That's why the palace has been in chaos since morning."

In the early morning when the sun just rose, Sayde and Barney came to visit the hotel where Xu Zhen and his friends were staying. The news that Minerva suddenly disappeared was enough to wake Xu Zhen and his friends up.

Courtney opened the window and looked out. The town outside was the same as yesterday. There was no noise coming from the palace. If Seide hadn't come to tell them personally, they would have known nothing.

There was a commotion inside the palace, but they were careful not to let the chaos spread to the town. Courtney thought so and slowly closed the window.

"But how could it be...was he taken away by someone?"

"We can't deny this possibility. But my brother and mother don't seem to think so." Seth answered Courtney's question, stroking the yawning Barney and sighing softly.

"It seems that Minerva really intends to get rid of me once and for all. The reason I came here is also because of my brother's advice. He said that staying in the palace is more dangerous."

"It's really dangerous. Well, after seeing what happened yesterday, it's not surprising." Xu Zhen's mind flashed with the scene of Minerva tripping up Sede.

She obviously really despised him and really hated him. In the end, she even considered a physical solution. What on earth was going on?

There were various possibilities, such as jealousy or hatred, but no matter how he thought about it, there was no result, so Xu Zhen stopped thinking temporarily.

"There might be some conspiracy in this chaos. Thinking of this, I can understand what my brother said to me." Said said with his eyes closed.

In response, Courtney said nervously, "I don't want to think that... Is Lord Austin involved?"

"...I hope that's impossible." Said said heavily, which made Xu Zhen show a surprised expression: "Do you doubt him? I thought you completely trusted your brother?"

"As long as there is a possibility, it is necessary to consider it." Said answered calmly with his eyes closed. Then he coughed lightly, stood up, and looked at Xu Zhen and the others nervously.

"I'm sorry for this happening so suddenly. We have to go to the Adventurer's Guild right away. Um... Is Alicia still sleeping?"

"I think she should get up. I'll go and call her."

Xu Zhen and Lati walked to the next room, knocking on the door and calling out.

"Alicia, are you awake?"

"We are in a hurry. I am coming in."

“Wait, wait a minute…”

There seemed to be a hurried sound, but Lati opened the door regardless. Then, there——

"ah……"

Alicia stood there in her underwear.

"…………………………"

The three people's voices overlapped for a moment, followed by a few seconds of painful silence. Xu Zhen raised his right hand, cold sweat on his forehead, and tried to squeeze out the words: "...I'm sorry, we didn't see anything..."

"Uh uh, yeah, sorry!" Then Xu Zhen and Lati also apologized hastily, and then slammed the door. Alicia's face quickly turned red.

“Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

Her screams shook the building and echoed through the overcast sky.

--------------

At this time in the palace, soldiers and maids were running desperately. Near the entrance of the central hall, Austin was communicating with a soldier, his expression was extremely serious.

"Minerva has not been found yet?"

"I'm so sorry. We are also searching as much as possible..."

"We must find her no matter what! More manpower!"

"Yes!"

After making contact, the soldiers set out again to look for Minerva. Austin watched him leave, looked up at the ceiling and sighed deeply.

"That stupid sister... has really pushed my mother and I to the limit...!" Austin's fists shook with anger.

He and Felini had anticipated that Minerva might take action to exclude Ced. The maids and soldiers who desperately searched for her thought the same thing. Since so many people had witnessed what happened last night, there was no other possibility.

At this time, a soldier ran up to Austin.

"Lord Austin. I have something to ask..."

"What's wrong?"
