Life as a Tower Maid: Locked up with the Prince Chapter 151

Chapter 151

Translator: Yonnee

“I always thought that your opinions were nothing but foolish nonsense, but… It crossed my mind that maybe it wouldn't be bad to dream of a brand new kingdom.”

With a lighter expression, Leona continued. In turn, Schubert just looked at her as though he had seen a ghost.

“I thought I'd manage to convince everyone else first before you of all people…”

Perhaps because he was talking to a comrade from the same knight order, but Shubert started speaking more casually again, just like how he spoke the first time we met.

But what was more surprising than his change in demeanor was how Leona and Schubert regarded the other. They seemed to know each other well enough.

I watched them with interest, amazed by the unexpected duo.

They both bowed to the other.

There was an awkward air between them, like they weren't really all that close, but they weren't on hostile terms. Rather, it seemed like they respected each other.

“Miss Artius, I'm sorry for asking this, but I hope you don't use your magic against the other knights.”

Leona murmured as she looked around. Then, she pulled out a longsword. The somewhat relaxed look in her eyes suddenly changed and became sharp.

Still, the royal knights outnumbered us, and overwhelmingly so.

And Schubert and Leona didn't have the luxury of continuing to chat at a time like this.

Leona knew this better than anyone else. Nodding towards Schubert, she raised her sword.

“Why don't you join us, Baron?”

Hearing this suggestion, Schubert blinked in confusion for a moment, but one corner of his lips soon tugged up.

“…If you thought I wouldn't, then you're wrong.”

With a mischievous expression on his face, he raised his own sword. Back-to-back with Leona, Schubert swung his weapon.

“People kept comparing me to you, so I was wondering just how strong you really actually are.”

After she murmured this softly, Leona started moving quickly. I stopped trying to hear what they were saying from then on. I didn't want to be stuck in the crossfire.

And I think I know what this moment meant to Leona.

“We'll go outside and seize the royal palace.”

With an invisibility spell still cast over them, the mages flew over the plethora of knights.

“How about Rosé, what are you going to do…?”

Next to me, Blanc asked.

“If I can't attack the knights, then…”

The only one left would be the knight commander. Still though, I didn't want to get involved with Liam's battle. That might be rather rude to him.

I came here with a single purpose, and I'm already done doing that. But it wouldn't be good to just stand here.

While looking around to see if there's something I can do, I found one knight who was sneaking up behind Liam, trying to hit him on the back of his head.

No, wait, if you're going down the cowardly path, then I'd have to do something to stop it.

Hitting someone on the back of their head is nothing but despicable. I waved my wand right away.

For someone who clearly cast aside their morals, maybe one electric shock would be fine…?

“Electricity.”

As I uttered the incantation of the spell I had cast earlier, electricity shot out of the end of my wand.

“Hu-ihh…”

After letting out a strange noise, two people collapsed right then and there. Liam tapped the knight commander's head. His eyes were rolled over.

…Is he dead?

Is my magic that strong?

“Look! I told you so! Rosé's magic is strooong!”

I vaguely heard Blanc's proud voice, but I was rushing to Liam's side.

“Are they still alive?”

After checking their breathing, Liam muttered.

“Well, they're not exactly dead, but…”

The moment I cast a spell, my 'Hide' invisibility spell disappeared. Liam stared back at me with a look of disbelief.

“They're wearing armor that's resistant to magic, but your attack still did a number on them.”

“I think it's because of Blanc.”

“I'm thinking the same thing.”

Liam agreed so quickly that it flustered me.

No, I mean, even if I proclaim that I'm strong, where exactly is that power coming from? Blanc's power was my power, and my power was his.

As a contractor, I should be more appreciative towards Blanc's mana.

It didn't seem like the men would be getting up any time soon. Since there was no one in command of the knights anymore, it's natural that they wouldn't be able to move efficiently.

“Now that the commander has fallen…”

Liam was about to say something to me, but then at that moment.

“A mage!”

A sudden commotion broke out amidst the knights. They were already breaking apart.

Liam's brows became furrowed as he looked back at me. He hid me behind him then spoke.

“The knights normally try to get rid of the mages first.”

Liam's voice reached my ears at the same time the knights began to rush towards me.

“Run!”

I waved the wand and cast a spell that would help me get out of there.

However, I was surrounded in an instant. Despite fighting Liam's knights, they were more focused on capturing me right then. They were all of the same mind.

A defense spell this time? No, I don't know any defense spells! I mean, I know one spell, but I can't use it because I didn't memorize the magic circle!

The knights were in a frenzy, making me doubt just how long I'd be able to last.

“Freeze.”
