Life as a Tower Maid: Locked up with the Prince Chapter 141

Chapter 141

Translator: Yonnee

At the end of the day, I thought that I should personally ask Mercy. Clasping her hand, I asked the question seriously.

“Mercy, I don't understand it just yet. How on earth am I going to… going to deal with this many people?”

“Didn't His Highness explain it? He said that he gave you a note.”

After Mercy said this, I was reminded of what Albert said after slipping something into my hand while he was on his way out.

…That's for right now?

Feeling my expression grow stiff with awkwardness, I opened Albert's neatly folded memo. Inside, I read the word 'Electricity' as it was written in English, then there was also a magic circle drawn there.

It was a strangely familiar magic circle, and when I thought about it, it occurred to me that it looked like the magic circle for 'Forget' that I practiced often.

He seemed to have prepared this while thinking about the magic circle that I was the most familiar with.

Albert had a plan for everything.

I feel a bit sad that he didn't tell me about it in advance, but… It seemed like he hid it from me because he knew I'd be burdened with something significant like this.

“You have the wand with you, right?”

“Yes.”

I was holding the wand with my other hand. It was the wand that came back to my possession after Albert gave it back to me.

I can't believe I'm about to perform a magic spell. I was feeling nervous because it's something that I never thought I'd ever do, even after coming to possess Rosé.

Seeing me go stiff with nervousness, Mercy smirked.

“Big Sis, your job is simple. Just send electricity over to the ones that are frozen.”

Mercy stepped forward and came up behind me, then she held the wand with me.

“It's your first time wielding magic, so it's better to draw the circle in advance.”

With Mercy's help, I began to draw the magic circle on the ground. The light from the end of the wand moved slowly.

“…What if I end up electrocuting everyone?”

I mean, I also know that Albert didn't have such a cruel heart that he'd want to kill all of them.

He only uses force when necessary.

But the people in front of us now didn't know that. I could see their eyes blinking nervously.

All they could do was move their eyes and blink, but this alone conveyed their emotions.

So I asked Mercy out loud so that the people in front could see what I was really doing. To comfort them, maybe. Mercy responded with a laugh.

“Haha, His Highness couldn't have intended for you to kill them, Big Sis. He prepared it carefully, so you don't have to worry.”

Her words allowed the blinking to slow down. I was right.

“His Highness is a generous man. Even if he's betrayed by them all the time, he makes sure to take good care of his people.”

Mercy pointedly looked at the people around us as she spoke. It's as if she wanted them to hear.

Besides, her voice wasn't loud, but it was clear to me.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

It seemed like she was amplifying our voices. I recalled the rumors about Albert, then I replied to her.

“He's a true, genuine Prince. I didn't go to the tower with him for nothing.”

…And while we're at it, I wrapped up my tracks in all of this, too. Albert said I could, so I felt no guilt about it.

All I wanted to do was hope that my past wouldn't hinder Albert later.

“…Looks like it worked well.”

“Huh?”

The faint voice couldn't be heard as much as I thought. When I asked in return, Mercy smiled awkwardly and shook her head.

“No, never mind. Now then, shall we activate the spell?”

“Rosé, good luuuck!”

Next to Mercy, Blanc also encouraged me.

Yeah, I can't possibly show that I'm hesitating when Blanc's watching! As I looked at the people around us, I took a deep breath and waved the wand.

“Electricity.”

With a crackling sound, light came out from the end of the wand and flew straight to the frozen soldiers.

The vivid yellow light was distinctly beautiful, and it looked as if this brilliance had been taken right out of the sun.

As soon as the sharp light touched the ice, water droplets fell from the ice, like snowmen who were touched by sunlight.

Little by little, the ice melted and freed them all.

And it just so happened that the sun was rising from the horizon. The rays of the sun sparkled against the ice and the droplets falling from the soldiers.

The scenery in front of me was like straight out of a legend. It felt as if I was looking at a famous painting.

To the extent that I forgot that I was right in the middle of a rebellion.

Along with me, the people who were freed from the ice stared at the scene as though they were mesmerized.

Then, people began to fall asleep one by one. All the people brought by Rosteratu couldn't defend themselves, let alone attack.

In this case, sleep was the best adversary.

It's clear to me that even this was part of Albert's plan. He managed to end the rebellion without killing one single innocent person.

And he plucked Rosteratu right out of the crowd.

My concerns were absolutely futile. Even if a hundred thousand troops came here, the result would have been the same.

Attacking Albert head-on in itself was reckless. Unless he would let his guard down.

“When will he come back…”

I looked around and murmured. Even after everyone fell asleep, I couldn't see Albert anywhere.

His fight with Rosteratu seemed to have been extended. Though rather than a fight, I had a feeling it would be torture instead.

Albert would be beating Rosteratu completely one-sidedly.

I hope he can get revenge for all the time he had to endure.

While I prayed for Albert's complete revenge, I carefully looked around at the fallen people. If they continue sleeping outside, wouldn't they freeze to death? Was it okay to leave them like this?

Well, I mean, it's not like I'm in the kind of position that I'd do them any favors.
