The second female lead Dual Cultivates

Chapter 177 175: Princess Chases

It all happened so fast for the princess. She had been living her best life a few minutes ago and now she was bounded by the same magic she used on her harem members. She did not even dare to look at her mark as she watched her ‘master’ leave.

The magic was forcing the princess to leave with the pink-haired demoness, to assist her in whatever she desired but the princess knew she could resist her. She did not want to leave her life of luxury and rest she had earned by being as good as magic as she was.

She had been chosen by the dozen of people in Jamaica to be the princess so she knew she was special. She had to be or she would not have been chosen at all. These people were lucky that the princess had saved them from a life of poverty outside of the palace.

So what if they had to cater to her whims once in a while? They could do that since the princess had allowed them to live in her home.

But even the princess had known that her life had been a little empty. As fun as these people had been, they had been unable to curb the loneliness inside of the princess.

It also did not help that they were too afraid to even speak up against her and it sometimes made the princess even harsher when dealing with her harem members.

But this outlander had been different and interesting. That was the excuse the princess gave for her fast-beating heart. The other’s attitude had interested her and made the princess want to know more about her.

It had to be love and not fear because the princess had nothing to fear from. The magic would not let her get hurt in any way shape or form (although it had just allowed her to be hurt).

“Guards, anyone. Hurry up and help me out. Prepare clothes for me since I need to go out” the princess yelled, forgetting that she was alone in the hall right now.

It took a long time for her to realize why no one was coming to help her out but the princess just huffed once she realized why no one else came.

It irritated the princess but she did not dwell on it for long. She did not care much and left the room to get ready on her own. She did not need those stupid guards, nor did she need the maids to be able to get dressed on her own.

She would be out and about as soon as she figured out which side of her dress was inside out and which buckle correspond to which hole and how it was tied around the waist and-

“Princess, do you need help tying up your clothes?” a servant finally arrived at her room, her eyes wide in surprise at seeing the princess’s state. The princess knew she had been looking ridiculous but she kept her temper in.

Even if she had wanted to lash out, the magic tightened around her in a warning and she hurriedly shut up her mouth. She did not want to see what would happen should she lose her temper with the maid for no reason.

“Yes, I will allow you to help me out here since I am in a hurry” the princess replied back in a haughty tone.

But the laugh she got back told her that her words had not been taken seriously at all by the maid. She also got a feeling that she was being laughed at by the others around her but she did not allow it to get to her.

She just focused on the mirror and allowed the maid to help her out with the clothes and make-up. She kept at it till she felt everything was perfect and then turned around to leave.

“Princess, where are you going? You have the selection ceremony for your new harem members” the maid asked, her voice sounding worried and scared at the new mood her mistress had found herself in.

She was not sure what to make of the look in the princess’s eyes since she had never seen that before and all she could do was a pity the one who must have chased the princess to look like that.

It would not be long till the rumors of what happened inside would reach her and the maid would remember the mark she saw on the princess’s arm. But till then, she would be amongst the people who were surprised at the princess’s new mood.

“I am going out. The ceremony had been postponed until further notice and would be picked up later. Tell the guards to not let anyone in or out of here till I come back” the princess ordered as she finally left the compound.

The guard clouds not help but snort once they heard the order. The princess? Leaving the compound? It would be the first time for her to be doing such a thing and they were not sure if the princess would even be able to survive outside. She had never ventured to the outskirts before.

“I hope she dies there. At least we would all be free then” The reply was half-hearted but sincere. The princess was not well-liked but she was a necessary part of their life.

For all their ‘titles’ no one remembered how to live in the outside world any longer. The luxury of the palace had spoiled them all and they were used to this place being their home.

And as bad as the princess could be, she was still akin to family and they all had come to care about her. The guards generally did not see her bad side so their impression was not as bad as the harem members.

Still, it caused an uproar in the palace and it was not long before a platoon was dispatched to look for their run-away princess.

But on the other side of the forest, Maria felt a headache slam into her at lightning speed as she met the princess dressed in flowing garments and haughty expressions.

“What are you doing here? Don’t you need to go back to your maids and harem?” Maria asked, her tone filled with irritation as she parried away another attack from the beast in front of her.

She was just playing with the beast, not really in any danger but she did feel annoyed at the distraction the princess was causing her. She did not want the other here and she was letting the princess know that as well.

“Well, get used to it since I’m not going anywhere. You stole my heart so I’ll take yours as well” the princess confessed.

(This book will end after one more arch. After the Jamaica Arc, we will head to Albest and that will be the last arc for this book. Anything more will be posted in a separate book but we'll see. It'll be close to 250 chapters. But it'll all depend so don't help me to it.

If the story demands, I will go over it and add a few more arcs)
