The Villainess Princess Will Dive into the Labyrinth Again Today – Chapter 42
Chapter 42: The villainess princess successfully escapes
“Phew… Success! Incredible!”
Miliaria beamed with pride as she successfully teleported multiple individuals.
Her evolution was never-ending, and if she could teleport long distances outside of the castle, escape would be a viable option when the time came.
However, only Miliaria was pleased with this breakthrough.
The red-haired boy, who was bewildered by his first magic experience, looked like a frightened rodent.
“W-Where are we?”
“So, shall we have a duel? The bet is that whoever defeats the monster here first wins. What do you say?”
“Listen to what people are saying!”
“What are you talking about? You come to challenge me without asking any questions. Depending on the situation, I won’t hesitate to behead someone, even if they are a child.”
“No, that’s not what I meant…”
“Yes, that’s right. I am the first princess, after all. What kind of knight would challenge me to a duel when I should be protected? Well, I suppose it’s acceptable based on my own upbringing.”
Miliaria sighed, thinking of her mother who was both clever and formidable.
That made her feel threatened, but she didn’t have the energy to push through with her usual gusto.
Still, Miliaria was grateful for the opportunity.
It was a great excuse to go out and explore.
She had acted impulsively, so she expected a scolding, but if Miliaria could shift the blame, she was sure the issue would blow over.
Moreover, if she brought back a souvenir from a rare monster drop, it would double as an accomplishment, killing two birds with one stone.
Miliaria, confident in her evil plan, quickly surveyed her surroundings.
She appeared to have transferred to a mountain where a giant centipede lurked.
Although it was a new and unfamiliar sight, Miliaria’s enhanced spatial perception abilities indicated that she was in the right place.
“So, what do you plan to do? I don’t mind if we don’t have a duel, but since we’ve come this far, we might as well go.”
“Uh, uh.”
Miliaria felt a twinge of sympathy for the confused red-haired boy.
Well, Miliaria didn’t care much about the duel, but it seemed like the red-haired boy still had some fighting spirit.
“I’ll do it! I want to see your power!”
“Very well. Then, the terms of the match will be as I proposed earlier?”
“F-Fine!”
What a sweet little boy. She’s starting to worry a bit.
“Really? You seem too nonchalant. Don’t you sense any danger?”
“It’s because you brought me here suddenly!”
“Even if you say such a thing, I also didn’t think that I would be challenged to such a sudden and unwilling match. I thought we should hurry..”
“I might not have challenged you, but it’s not right.
“Be grateful, it was what you desired. But I might have acted impulsively, so I’ll give you a weapon. What is your preferred weapon?”
“…A sword. A single-handed sword. But how do I…?”
“A single-handed sword, correct?”
Miliaria retrieved a sword from her backpack.
It was a single-handed, fire-element sword named Ifrit, said to be a dropped item in a secret dungeon.
The red-haired boy, upon seeing the sword, was captivated, regaining his senses only to exclaim in awe when he held it in his hand.
“G-Giving this to me! Can I, can I just keep it?”
“I intended to give it to you. Keeping it is fine.”
“That can’t be right?! This sword… It’s amazing, isn’t it? I feel more power from this than from my father’s magic sword!”
The red-haired boy, who was speaking rapidly with excitement, seemed to understand the hidden power of the sword.
Miliaria nodded, impressed by the boy’s keen eye and promising future, but she was in a hurry and didn’t want to get bogged down in explanations.
“Well, don’t worry about it.”
The contest was just a facade. What was important was the giant centipede that lived in this place.
Miliaria focused her mind on her destination and created a path through the rough mountains.
“Black carpet.”
A black roll carpet appeared, extending and spiraling to create a path, and Miliaria stepped onto it and began to advance.
“What the hell is that?!”
“It’s a mountain road technique!”
The red-haired boy was surprised by the carpet, but there was no time to worry about that during a contest.
Miliaria asked once more, “If you’re going to run, just run away. But, you might die, you know?”
“Die?… No! Who’s running away!”
Miliaria sighed lightly.
Well, it would be a waste to die from a monster attack.
Miliaria decided to proceed slowly, so the red-haired boy could follow.
