Chapter 20: From Here On, I’ll Handle These Taxes
After several rounds of struggle, the three of them finally managed to defeat the half-destroyed magic mirror boss.
The news of clearing the first-floor boss quickly spread throughout the maze.
Talia removed her cloak and wrapped it around the princess's waist.
Due to the mechanics of the maze, even though they had defeated the room's boss, it would respawn after a while. However, the entrance to the second floor was now officially open.
Instead of entering the second floor, the three of them chose to exit the maze.
Romon didn't ask many questions. The secret of the demon was the princess's secret, a royal secret, and he didn't want to get too involved.
As long as the incident of the explosion affecting the princess's backside remained a secret, everything would be fine.
"Lord Romon."
Suddenly, as they walked along the mountain path through the forest after leaving the maze, Princess Angelia called out to Romon, and this time, her address had changed.
"Your Highness, please speak. I am at your service."
"The demon we saw today now resides within my body. As for why, I cannot tell you yet, but this situation is by no means of my choosing. I originally had no intention of coming to Thune Territory. It was only after hearing about the maze's boss that I followed the royal procession, just to test today's outcome. Although you all heard that it was a weakened projection of the demon, for me, it was still a valuable training experience, because I have no other way to deal with it," the princess said, her pace gradually slowing. "Lord Romon, after this, I will continue my training here as an ordinary adventurer."
