Crossing The Dragon: The King Sacrifices The Princess At The Beginning

"Whether you leave or not has nothing to do with whether I can defeat the Black Beast, but once the second fortress is lost, I can evacuate more calmly, instead of having to take you with me and take care of you on the road!" Alicia said very rudely, She knew that these words might hurt Prim, but she did something extraordinary in an emergency, so she should apologize to the little girl later.

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Prim wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and stopped being stubborn. She was only a second-level mage. A strengthened goblin in the Black Beast Mercenary Group could kill her, not to mention those trolls with terrifying power. tribe and orcs.

Maybe leaving is the best option.

Here she is just a liability with no power and royal blood.

"Just bring these clothes."

Alicia lifted the small leather bag in front of Prim and put it down.

"I will send a knight to take you to the first fortress later. From there, you can take a short-distance teleportation array to the royal city of the Holy Lady. The Holy Lady is protected by the black dragon, so her place is the safest."

"Sister, I can leave by myself."

Prim shook his head firmly.

She knew that Alicia would definitely send the most elite knights to protect her, but this would be tantamount to weakening Alicia's power in disguise.

This is not what Prim wants to see.

"I have loyal subjects myself who will help me reach the second fortress, such as the Mortadella brothers..."

This was said with some guilt.

The Mortadella brothers are famous pig merchants in the Second Fortress.

And it was supported by her own hands.

These two brothers are usually responsible for her expenses. These two pigs are good at everything, but they sometimes look at her strangely.

"Brothers Mortadella?"

Alicia touched her chin and thought of two honest pigmen who always had flattering smiles on their faces. When she first arrived at the Second Fortress, all the military supplies were provided by these two pigmen, so she had no interest in them. The impression is not bad.

"Okay, I will send a knight to notify the two brothers to pick you up later. Be careful on the way."

After saying this, she took out a necklace set with sapphire and a dagger from the knight's armor.

"This is a magic item, water protection. If you encounter danger, activate it. It can withstand dozens of attacks below level three."

"The dagger is for self-defense, just in case."

Prim was about to refuse when he was interrupted by Alicia:

"When I fought with the Black Beast Mercenary Group, I mainly commanded the battle from the rear. It is what those soldiers do to charge into the battle. This necklace can better play its due role for you."

"But..." Prim still hesitated while holding the necklace and dagger.

"No buts, Governor of the Second Fortress, Prim Fairige!" Alicia raised her head and raised her chest, clenched a fist with one hand on her chest, and solemnly declared: "This is an order, execute it immediately!"

"yes!"

…

…

Half an hour later.

On the mountain road behind the second fortress.

A luxurious carriage was parked there.

This was prepared by the pig brothers for Prim. They were currently wearing neat attire and standing respectfully next to the carriage.

"Sister, then, shall I go?"

Prim was wearing a light blue dress and carrying a small leather bag. Her pretty face was full of worry and reluctance.

"Let's go, be safe on the road."

Alicia turned to the Mortadella brothers and warned: "You must send the princess safely to the first fortress. I will return to the first fortress in less than a week. If I know what kind of injustice the princess suffered on the way..."

Suddenly, she pulled out the long sword from her waist and slashed it diagonally. With a "crack-" sound, a big tree not far away split into two halves.

"If the princess has been wronged in any way, you will be like this!"

Brother Pig glanced at the neatly cut tree, couldn't help but feel chills on his back, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to express his loyalty to the royal family.

"Let's go!"

Alicia seemed to be talking to Prim and herself.

Prim nodded with tears in her eyes. One of the pigmen helped her open the carriage door and helped her get into the carriage. Then the two pigmen came to the front of the carriage, one pig riding on the other.

"Policy--!"

The carriage started slowly.

Prim's pretty face popped out of the carriage window. She waved the silk scarf in her hand and shouted: "Sister, you must come back safely!"

"I will."

Alicia smiled and nodded.

The carriage traveled farther and farther on the dim mountain road, and became smaller and smaller, until it could no longer be seen clearly. The smile on Alicia's face gradually disappeared, replaced by incomprehensible sadness.

In fact, she lied to Prim.

The Black Beast Mercenary Group is not just as simple as capturing the Kalem defense line.

They continued to attack New Delhi's defense line without stopping, and it took less than half an hour to break through New Delhi's defense line.

There was a small Holy See there, and the spies came back and told her that all the nuns in the Holy See had been brutally turned into tools for venting their desires. Men's heads were impaled on wooden-handled spears, and they were inserted in New Delhi's defense line like a demonstration, all the way to the La La on the opposite side. Vince's defense line looked across from each other in the distance.

It's funny to say that.

If it hadn't been for the nuns from the Holy See delaying the entire second fortress, the Ravens defense line would have been breached by now.

"Is the Dark Tower's bonus to these orcs so terrifying? Is our army so vulnerable?"

Thinking of this, Alicia couldn't help but tighten the hilt of the sword at her waist.

"Sir, it's time for us to go back and direct the battle."

The guard knight next to him bowed his head in salute and whispered a reminder.

"Let's go."

Alicia turned around.

The figures of the two people were gradually swallowed up by darkness.

…

…

In the middle of the night, Prim fell asleep while sitting in the carriage.

But the violent jolts made it difficult for her to sleep.

She was holding her favorite bear doll, and her heart was full of worries and longing for Alicia.

Alicia is not her biological sister, but her cousin. The two grew up in the First Fortress. Before the old king died, he entrusted the rule of the empire to the saint. He spent his whole life trying to have a son, but In the end, she gave birth to only one daughter, Prim, and the saint promised to transfer the rule of the country to Prim when she came of age.

Prim grew up surrounded by layers of protection.

The person I admire most in my heart is Alicia.

As a child, she idolized Alicia for not wetting the bed, for being able to feed herself, for being an accurate archer, and for being able to ride a horse.

When she grew up, she admired Alicia for her powerful ability to protect the people of the fortress. She worked hard to catch up, but she was always the little princess protected by everyone.

"I'm not a child anymore! I can't cry!"

Huddled in a corner of the carriage, Prim stubbornly wiped away the tears from his eyes.

Whenever she thinks of Alicia, she always feels the strength to become stronger.

"Crunch——!"

The sound of the carriage's brakes brought Prim's thoughts back.

After a period of turbulence, the carriage gradually stopped.

"Have you already reached the first fortress?"

Prim was confused.

She opened the curtain.

It was dark outside and the stars were shining in the sky.

In her memory, it took half a day to ride from the second fortress to the first fortress.

In other words, she should arrive at the First Fortress tomorrow morning.

"I'm sorry that Princess Princess has not arrived yet."

The Pig Man's voice came from the front of the carriage.

Then I heard them rustling around.

A dark figure appeared at the door of the carriage, making Prim shrink into the corner in fear.

"Your Highness, the carriage hit a rock just now. Now there is something wrong with the wheel spring. We need to check it."

"Oh, oh...is that so?"

Prim didn't quite understand this, so he could only say, "Then you can practice it."

"Uh... Your Highness Princess, we have to lift the carriage to repair the tires, otherwise there will be no way to repair it, so please come down and I will ask my brother to prepare delicious grilled fish for you and raise a warm campfire. After all, repair the tires." Tires still need a lot of time.”

When Prim saw that the pigmen spoke in a logical manner, she simply believed what they said, so she opened the car door and jumped out.

"Hurry up and fix it! It's not very safe in the forest. If you encounter a pack of wolves..."

"Your Highness, there will be no wolves..."

The ugly-looking pig man turned around and showed a ferocious smile to Prim, his eyes greedily scanning up and down her body:

"Because we are the wolves!"

"You, what are you going to do?"

Prim stood on her head, already feeling something was wrong. She backed away in panic, but she leaned into the arms of a tall man.

That was Tadra, brother of Mor the Pig.

"Your Highness the Princess took the initiative to deliver the newspaper. I am really flattered~"

The pig Tadela hugged the petite Prim from behind and let out a "hehehe" smile.
