Chapter 8: The Jail Breaker
“Hmph, that little idiot Lonis, she must have learned her lesson, right?”
……
Actually, it was Elusie who lied to the police officer earlier.
It was because the girl lied about being assaulted that Lonis was arrested.
However…
Elusie didn’t actually want that guy to be treated as a criminal, she just wanted to scare her a little… ideally, she would have cried and wailed, and then Elusie would have gone to the cage to watch her frightened expression, which would have been the best~~
So…
Elusie walked towards the police station.
“Miss, you’re here at the police station… ah…”
“Mhmm~”
Normally, after ordinary people enter a police station, they are only allowed to handle business in the lobby and are absolutely not allowed to go into the office area.
But at this moment, Elusie arrogantly walked in, and all the way, the police officers acted as if they were blind to her, not stopping her at all.
……
And this power is the manifestation of illusion.
To be precise, although Elusie currently had no physical strength, making her a weak girl, the ability to deprive the senses was instinctive and could still be used.
So, in the sight of those police officers, Elusie’s existence had been erased.
The black-hearted girl swaggered into the guard room and obtained the prison key.
“Eh… Oh right! When Lonis was bullying me earlier, why didn’t I use this ability to resist her? Damn it… I was careless!”
The black-haired girl frowned, seeming somewhat displeased. The thought of Lonis’s silly face made her even more angry.
(Later, I must properly bully Lonis? It would be best to dress up as a perverted murderer and torment her with the police station’s props.)
Having made up her mind, Elusie used the key to unlock the door leading to the underground prison.
However, at that moment…
The black-hearted girl felt something was wrong.
(Strange, there’s a unique aura!)
(Am I overthinking it… No! There are others, others have also infiltrated this area!)
……
……
Realizing this, Elusie was startled.
Since the other party had also infiltrated the police station, it meant they were not friendly – and now that she was seriously injured, if she was caught off guard, she would suffer greatly.
(What to do, should I notify others? But…)
……
Thinking of this, Elusie’s pretty face turned red.
If the fact that Lonis had pushed her down spread, how would she ever show her face again?
Her established persona as a sadist and black-hearted girl was already precarious, and if everyone found out, her companions might tease her too.
Let alone others, she might not be able to control Candelle, that idiot.
So…
(Hmph, I’ll ambush them first!)
……
……
Therefore, Elusie hid in the corner of the stairs leading to the underground prison.
Her body almost merged with the shadows, and in her hand, she held an electric baton found in the police station’s safe, ready to strike.
And finally…
The infiltrator seemed unable to control their impatience and quietly approached.
He was wearing a pitch-black hood, which made him look like a bad person.
And due to the confusion of the five senses, he didn’t notice Elusie hiding in the corner at all… and this was the moment the black-haired girl had been waiting for.
(Die!)
Elusie leaped out, forcefully striking the black figure’s back.
“!”
The black figure clearly did not expect such a sneak attack from behind, and was unable to dodge, being hit by Elusie.
Intense sparks appeared on the black figure’s back, but this attack, which could even stun a wild wolf, did not have enough impact on him.
The black figure merely swayed, and then, like a caught thief, fled forward without looking back.
But what about Elusie? How could she let him escape so easily?
She quickly pursued.
And for the black figure, his senses were already covered by darkness… under Elusie’s influence, he could see nothing and hear nothing, like a headless fly, he crashed into the wall!
“Heh heh, still trying to resist?”
Elusie smiled slightly, pulling out the handcuffs she had also taken, preparing to tie the black figure’s hands.
But…
Seeing the face of the black figure, Elusie was completely stunned.
Because this unconscious girl was no outsider,
But their good companion,
Princess Cécile.
——————
“Father, he’s really strict, isn’t he?”
Cécile sighed heavily.
Because in the morning, her father had restrained Candelle’s power with a restrictive collar… no matter how much the little loli cried and wailed, her father did not soften.
This collar was called a “limit collar,” and once worn, Candelle’s current strength was about the same as an ordinary person.
“Alright Cécile, you can discipline her properly now.”
“Father…”
“Teach Candelle the responsibilities of our Ming Jin Royal Family. Only then can she truly grow up.”
Cécile certainly knew her father’s good intentions, because only by becoming an ordinary person could one truly empathize with the feelings of an ordinary person.
Worrying about whether to buy pineapple or apple.
On the way home from work, thinking about what to eat for dinner.
Having an instinctive fear of the dark and rugged places.
And Candelle’s biggest flaw was her lack of sympathy for the weak, treating human life as worthless, which was why she needed to be educated properly.
However…
Even with her powers restricted by the collar, the mischievous nature of Candelle could not be changed.
“Hah, Father thinks that by limiting my strength, he can limit my spirit?”
“Candelle?”
“I’m going to sneak into the royal treasury and find the key to prove it to him!”
After speaking, Candelle ignored Cécile and slipped away.
And as expected, without the powerful strength of the Blood Race, the little red-haired loli failed to sneak into the royal treasury and was discovered and arrested by guards in the outer security zone.
……
“Hmm, I need to save Candelle then.”
Although Cécile could have directly revealed her princess identity and picked up Candelle from prison, doing so would also mean she was using her princess privileges.
So Cécile decided to go to the prison first to check on Candelle’s mental state, and then plead with her father.
However, she never expected…
That she would be discovered by the jailer!
……
Even in a corner she hadn’t noticed at all… the fierce electric baton struck her, making her back tingle.
But compared to the dizziness in her body, Cécile’s mental fear was even more terrifying.
Because she…
Was the princess of the Ming Jin Kingdom.
If she were to be arrested as a jail breaker, how would she ever save face?
So…
She absolutely could not be caught!
So, she absolutely had to escape!
It was for this very reason that, even though she couldn’t see or hear anything clearly, Cécile softly chanted a spell.
And the effect of that spell was…
“Teleportation Magic! Please, please teleport me… away from here quickly!”
