Chapter 352 : Lonis's Resolve
The radio on the Time Shuttle continued broadcasting the ongoing news.
"Citizens of Insolania, this is Bright Ember Voice Radio. Our professional reporters are on the front lines, bringing you the latest developments in the capture process."
......
"Currently, the first team that entered the prison has lost contact, but we can confirm their vital signs are still intact—they've only been subjected to armed resistance from the prisoners."
......
"However, the loyal Sword and Shield Guards have arrived for support under Naronnat's leadership. We believe that before our outstanding guards, those escaped convicts will surely surrender... Miss Naronnat, could you please say a few words to brief everyone on the situation?"
......
"Ah ah... Everyone please rest assured, no matter what happens, we Sword and Shield Guards will capture the escap... eh, that, that is... Your Highness the Princess?!"
......
"Ah? Princess Sethilu? Why is Princess Sethilu running out of the prison? Could it be that... Princess Sethilu knew about the escaped convicts' information and specially came to rescue everyone? But didn't we hear that Princess Sethilu was studying abroad..."
......
"No, it's not just Her Highness the Princess!"
......
"Eh, who's that behind her? Silver-white tail and ears... could that be our tailed Princess Hero, Lady Lonis?!"
......
"Woo woo woo, please stop..."
......
"Wait, there seem to be more people behind, are those the captured escaped convicts? They have on their bodies..."
"No, that's the savior of the royal capital, the inheritor Bai Ye!!!"
"What?! There are more people behind, could it be..."
"Quickly cut the communication, quickly!!!"
......
Then came the sound of complete chaos.
Zhou Suling didn't know what had happened, but after hearing the names of Lonis and Sethilu, the girl was completely at ease:
"Ah... as expected of sister~~ So easily predicting the outcome. Everyone really went to capture escaped convicts by infiltrating the prison?"
"No, Suling, this matter seems not quite right..."
Zhou Mixue rubbed her forehead. Her instincts told her this matter was far from that simple.
Should she say they were truly a couple?
Lonis and Elucia did indeed have some similarities in certain aspects.
Although they wouldn't drop the ball at crucial moments, when there was nothing going on in daily life, these two would often cause all sorts of strange incidents.
For example, the horse girl incident.
For example, the independent kingdom research center incident.
For example, the princess training incident...
......
And this time, it should be like that too, right?
"Sigh..."
"Eh, why is sister sighing?"
"Suling, come with me to the police station. We need to go help clean up the situation."
......
This "prison break incident" indeed had far-reaching impact.
After all, it was already on the radio, and almost all citizens were secretly praying, hoping the police could catch the escaped convicts quickly.
But for those in the know, it was simply a tangled mess, extremely strange.
......
Because the escaped convicts were actually Princess Sethilu of Bright Ember Kingdom, the Vampire Queen of the demon race, the great Princess Hero, the savior of the Tree of Causality, and the scheming girl—all crucial figures!
Any one of these would require the intelligence department to spare no effort to protect, let alone all five being involved at once!
Because of this, Bright Ember Voice Radio not only suddenly stopped broadcasting but also directly played documentaries after a brief break!
"Why, why are there documentaries?"
"What about the prison break follow-up? What happened..."
People were confused, but then citizens discovered the radio seemed to have amnesia, completely forgetting about this matter!
The police were also secretive, and the Sword and Shield Guards even more so...
......
"Sigh... so that's how it was."
Naronnat sighed and said: "Princess Sethilu, you really didn't need to be so self-deprecating. As long as you came to us, we could naturally have released Princess Candel and everyone else."
"But... Father he..."
"Princess Sethilu, actually before the Battle of Insolania, we still treated you as a princess. But after experiencing so much, many warriors actually treat you as a queen."
"Eh?!!"
"Under heaven, all is the king's land. To the shores of the land, all are the king's subjects. You can completely use your position as leader to give us orders... and this is what King Ruowei Palace hopes for."
"Uh!!!"
Princess Sethilu was stunned, finally realizing what she had done wrong.
Her approachable nature without princess airs was certainly good. But as a leader, within her own country's territory, when privileges should be used, they should be used.
Because only this way could she handle special unexpected situations.
Just like this time—if Princess Sethilu had directly revealed her identity, not only could she have saved Candel, but Bai Ye and Lonis could also have been rescued.
......
So Sethilu earnestly apologized to Lonis:
"Lonis, I'm sorry, it was my fault... if not for me, Elucia wouldn't have been teleported to prison and caused a misunderstanding..."
"Ah ah, no, I was too hasty!"
Lonis's face turned red, also realizing she had been too hasty.
Because she couldn't see Elucia, she wanted to break out of prison by dismembering herself... that was really too ridiculous!
In the end, she made Elucia mistakenly think she had been raped, and made the girl collapse from exhaustion.
Mm...
This was all her fault.
Looking at Elucia who was still unconscious, Lonis felt her heart filled with guilt.
At this point, Lonis had noticed...
Elucia wasn't truly as fond of bullying her as her surface disguise suggested.
She was also a very pure girl, also harboring desires and dreams like many other girls.
Loyal to her lover, loyal to love.
When weak, she would also tire; when knowing she was in crisis, she would also become foolish. She wasn't able to stay calm and make completely objective judgments at every moment.
So herself...
Had actually done wrong.
She shouldn't have taken advantage of when Elucia couldn't resist to bully her body and tie her hands behind her back.
Instead, she should have properly protected her and let Elucia also feel her warmth.
So...
The root of all this chaos was because of her own immaturity?
......
"Princess Sethilu, I'm sorry for dragging you into this."
"Lonis..."
"I need to take Elucia back to the bedroom to rest first. If there are any consequences afterward, please let me bear them alone. I want to take responsibility for the prison break."
"How can that work, Lonis... clearly I also made mistakes in this matter. I shouldn't have infiltrated."
Sethilu clenched her fists, looking unwilling to back down.
But just then, Candel also came over and said: "You righteous people are really annoying!"
"Candel?"
"Always wanting to take everything on yourselves, wanting to bear everything alone... but this isn't a small matter. Lonis and Bai Ye were arrested, Elucia conspired with Sister Sethilu to break out of prison. If one person bears it all, you'll be crushed!"
"Candel..."
"I think we should bear it together. Let's say that when Bai Ye was organizing the Tree of Causality, some misunderstandings arose, which eventually evolved into an exercise to capture escaped convicts! Since no one died anyway, wouldn't this explanation work perfectly?"
The red-haired little loli jumped up and said quite confidently.
