Chapter 141.1
Desert Town
Princess Elena Cleydale, the first princess of Cleydale, was attacked and disappeared at the Royal Magic Academy, a supposedly safe place where the main noble children of the Cleydale Kingdom gather.
Eyewitness accounts suggest that the main culprits were a faction of the Dark Elves, known as the Evil Race, who had been at war with humanity for several decades. They were also revealed to be Vampires.
Was it political criminal terrorism by the Evil Race or an attack by a demon called Vampire? Some non-Princesses speculated that the Princess might have died, but her aides and attendants, who were seriously wounded, testified that this was not true.
The purpose of the Evil Race, the main culprit, was to kidnap the princess, and for that purpose, they used a ball containing Magic obtained from a dungeon, and the moment the Magic of the enclosed “Teleportation” was activated, the main culprit, the Evil Race, was defeated by an adventurer baroness who was the princess’ personal guard. The kidnapping of the princess was prevented.
However, the princess and the baroness were caught in a spatial shift that had apparently already been triggered and disappeared somewhere.
The knights who were her aides and bodyguards were interviewed and investigated using Magic, and their testimonies were consistent, so the kingdom’s guideline changed from investigating the Evil Race to searching for the princess.
Regardless of the situation, there was no telling how some of the aristocrats, who had been leaning toward the royalists, would react if they learned that the princess was missing. Fortunately, martial law had already been imposed on the school by the headmaster and information had not been conveyed to the students, so His Majesty the King ordered the school to be closed for three to six months to reinforce the safety of the school, and ordered the investigation department, including the dark side under the Prime Minister, to search both at home and abroad.
The princess was still alive. Even though there were many who believed so, the information could only be contained for three to six months.
If the safety of the princess remained unknown for up to six months, the King decided that the princess would be declared dead from illness to avoid confusion, and Crown Prince Ervan would be officially announced as the next King of the Kingdom.
