Chapter 5

Princess Elisia pt 1

How did it end up like this!?

Who want me dead?

"SHE'S HERE!" said by the man who is wearing a black robe, black pants, boots, short sword, it's face covered by a half mask. The man then said "shot her lower body! "

As the man said the order, the others whose holding a bow tried to shoot the woman by arrows.

The woman notice the upcoming arrows, then the woman whispered something and..

"Mur de vent!"(Wind wall)

(Author :Don't think about it its just a simple word in french.... Yeah im suck i know...)

Unfortunately, the woman didn't even get hit because a wind formed a wall that blocks all the arrows.

Why is this happening to me?, the woman thought, she keeps running and running wanted to get away to those people who want her dead. She goes go deep in the forest until the assassins lost her and then she ask herself again.

"Why.." The woman frown as she laid herself on the tree, she doesn't know what's going on. While panting and trying to catch her breath, She thinks of her father and brothers.

(Author : yeah yeah i'm noob but you know what? I'll freakin improve someday!)

"Are they okay?", The woman is worried about her family, then she looks at her back and said "it seems I got away....." Later on, the woman start to walk, she looks around her being wary to her surroundings "what's more... I'm here in the forest of Despair....." The woman bit her tongue and raised her face as she move forward.

She doesn't know where she at but she needs to survive and go to her place, The Kingdom and warn her father.

Later on she found a cave ".... There's no choice, I had to hide there.." the woman started to move herself and go to the cave, " it's dark.... " The woman paused and" [Light]" the woman said " As the 2nd Princess of the Kingdom of Fillia, I, Princess Elisia Elk Edenburgh  . Swear to the Goddess of life that I will survive no matter what!"

Green emerald hair, white silky skin, almond eyes, her eyelashes is slightly sharper, emerald eyes, glamorous hour glass body, pale blue dress that perfectly well suited to her, innocent face, but has a brave personality, 160 cm height, her hair has an orange red flower pin. Also, you can see her eyes has a life of never giving up

Princess Elisia produced a light magic that give light to her surroundings.

'fortunately, There's no monster here', Princess Elisia thought. She even thanks herself for having knowledge on how to survive in this kind of situation, since when she was a child she always escaping at the castle and go somewhere else, that's when she learn how to survive without relying to her brother and father.

She even learns 3 types of magic without her parents knowing, only her Personal knight knows that the Princess is learning.

---- 2 days later----

Princess Elisia has been hiding in the cave at least 2 days, she has no problem at light but her problem is food and water. 'If only I learn water magic!', Princess Elisia thought. But there's no point in regretting, she can eat the herbs that she found, but she needs some nutrients so she can maintain her strength

"Edible herbs is good, but its also bad..." Said Princess Elisia, she wants to take a bath, want to eat some meat but she can't hunt. Yes, she learns how to use 3 types of magic, but she doesn't have experience when it comes to hunting. While sitting and embracing herself while staring at the fire that she made by magic

She remembers the day when they got ambushed by unknown people. There are 20 of them, What's more, they are strong that some of her knights didn't able to lay a hand.

"Mae..... " Said Princess Elisia" hope your alive...." She rests her head on her knees and embrace herself.

Her most loyal knight fights the enemy, she doesn't know what happen to Mae, her personal knight and best friend. She remembers her last conversation to Mae.

"Princess!" Said Mae "Run! Don't think about me nor the other knights!" Mae swung her sword to slash the enemy " your life what's matter!" Then she smiled at Princess Elisia. She blocked the upcoming attack and push back the enemy by force and quickly move herself so she can get close to the enemy and stab its heart.

The enemy who was stabbed in the heart gobbed a blood and his eye lens turn white. The enemy died quickly.

Mae pulled back her sword by kicking the body and look at Princess Elisia "live" then she smiled at her.

Princess Elisia want to help but she knows, she will only be a burden. "Don't you dare die without my permission." Said by the princess, then she casts a magic, A plate size circle form at her hand and begun to glow.

[Light barrier!]

Then  Mae's body became bright in a few seconds, then Mae notice that her body is covered by a barrier that will protect her in physical attacks.

While Mae staring at her body, She didn't notice that someone was about to slice her at the back.

"Mae!" The princess said " at your back!"

Mae looks at her back, but it was already too late, She got slashed by the enemy. Mae got surprised because she didn't notice it. No, She let her guard down.

Fortunately, The princess casts a light barrier at her, She manage to escape the sudden death.

As she came back to her senses, she steps back and look at the princess again.

"What are you doing!?" Mae said " Just go Eli!"

Princess Elisia nodded at mae and she said "Promise me, you're not going to die."

Mae just smiled back at her.

**

Eye's open.

Princess Elisia did not notice that she fall asleep, She rubbed her eyes, Then she covered her mouth and yawn.

"Come to think of it, i didn't go deeper here.." said Princess Elisia " should i go and go deeper?"

Princess Elisia hesitated but later on, She decided to explore the cave, using light magic that can bring a light so she can see her surroundings, Princess Elisia saw how beautifully form the Speleothems in the cave.

The ground is wet as she walk further and further, she see so many large rock and icicle shaped rock at the cealings and grounds.

'how can a rock form like this?' Princess Elisia wondered, Well.Actually Speleothems

form because of water. Rainwater seeps through cracks in the rock. As it passes through organic material, it picks up carbon dioxide gas, creating carbonic acid. This weak acid passes through joints and cracks in limestone. But Princess Elisia doesn't know that.

As she go further, she found a large area with 4 Pillar, its like they are well formed. In the front of those Pillar a translucent water are there.

"I...is it drinkable???"

Princess Elisia quickly run to the cave water, She doesn't care wether if it is drinkable or not. Because right now she is experiencing dehydration and need water to supply her health, If by chance it is not drinkable Princess Elisia thought that 'If its not Drinkable then i just need to suppress it.'.

Princess Elisia know the risk but she still go for it. Fortunately, The water is drinkable.

Princess Elisia was so thankful that she go further, If not she won't be able manage to live because of dehydration. Also she found that, No matter what kind of dirt or anything that make the water dirty, It will still be clean, its like the water purifying it itself.

That's why Princess Elisia decided to undress herself and clean her body using the water.

After a minute of bathing, she wear her dress and go back to her area, but...

"She was here!" Said by the black robe man" she's not that far!"

Princess Elisia quickly hide in the big rock and covered her mouth. She can blow the enemy but there are too many of them also she is a mage and not good at close combat.

'If only Mae was here...', Princess Elisia thought, She shook off her head and he heard a footstep getting closer.

Tak, tak, tak.

"Do you think she go down deep?"

"I don't know, should we check?"

Princess Elisia is getting nervous.

Ba Dump, Ba Dump!

The enemy is right beside the big rock where Princess Elisia is hiding, the enemy is so closed to her. 2 more steps, The enemy will notice her and will kill her right away.

"Hey give me a torch!" Said by the black robe man" she might be hiding here"

Princess Elisia face is sweating, She doesn't know what to do in this situation.

'Should i fight?',Princess Elisia thought. Princess Elisia think that even if she is in a disadvantage situation, she still need to fight them. She need to survive no matter what, She won't give up.

That's why Princess Elisia was ready to blow the Enemy, she pushed herself to attack, She closed her hand and 'I can do this!' Princess Elisia thought, her hands and mind are ready to casts a Medium tier magic. But when she was about to stand up.

" Hey, Are you sure she was there?"

"What do you mean?" The man frown at his partner "She might be in the deeper area you know?"

"Well you see..." The other man scratch his head with awkward smile "She's a princess right? " The man paused and continue to talk " also this is a cave, there might be a monster residing there , we don't know. And also why would a Wench like her would go their in the deeper part of the cave?" Then the man look at the firewood that already turn to dust  " also as we can see it, she was there before this morning, so she might not be that far right now..."

'w-wench..!?' Princess Elisia thought, She wants to blow the guy who said that but right now she need to relax right now, she need to survive.

"....well you see.. that woman..." The black robe man paused a moment then sighed" you, might be right... Let's go!" The black robe man turned back and order his Co. "Find the Princess no matter what! Don't kill her after you guys manage to capture her!" The man paused and continue to talk " It's been 2 days but we still did not manage to capture her! After we capture her let's give her a beautiful night! It would be a shame if she won't serve her body to us right!?"

"YEAH!"

The black robe man and his Co. Yelled and gave a perverted smile. They are so happy for what they heard to their captain, they think it just normal to do that and it's also normal to do that to a woman that say the most beautiful being in the kingdom Fillia.

'w-what!?' Princess Elisia thought, they gave her a sudden chill, Princess Elisia hug herself because of fear. She gulped down and wait for the enemy to get out, her knees is trembling.

When she look back the black robe man before is now gone.

'lets... Wait for another minute...', Elisia thought. She is scared that's why she waited for another minute.

After a few minutes she stand up and go outside, She carefully look around before she move, when she now knows that no one is around, She started to walk to get out of the cave.

She goes back to where the ambushed begin. She don't know why she had to go back, But Princess Elisia feels like she had to thanks the knights that died in the ambushed.

She thinks of Mae but she shake herself and gave a positive thought, 'No. she's alive, and she is looking at me!', as she keeps moving forward she also met some monster, strong enough to kill 3 knights in just one hit. Princess Elisia knows that this is a deeper part of 'Forest of Despair', so she knows how dangerous she is doing right now. That's why, when she saw a monster. She hide herself using concealment.

It's a skill that Mae, her personal knight. Teach her how to obtain concealment, thanks to that she easily goes in and out in the castle.

The monster on the deeper forest of despair is abnormally strong. A normal one Goblin in the deeper part of the Forest of despair is considered B rank, it's like, you are already fighting a horde of Goblins in a single Goblin. That's why Elisia knows what to do.

A few minutes later, she manage to go back to the place where the Ambushed begin, but it surprised her from what she saw. The knights are no longer at the ground instead someone made their Grave, not just the Knights some black robe man back then who died in the ambush is not there.

'maybe someone made their grave..' Princess Elisia thought. Then she saw a carriage use by a Traveller.

"Back then, there is no Carriage passing by..." Elisia quickly realized what happened."Don't tell me..."

'The traveller pass by then accidentally witness the ambushed? That's why...' Elisia didn't think any further, just looking at the scene she already knows what happen to the traveller...

"Mae..." She think of Mae again, She love her Personal knight, Her best friend. Because Mae is the only Friend she have back in the Kingdom that's why she is worried about her.

"What if... Mae..." Again Elisia shook her head off and walk closely to the carriage, She was hoping that there is something she can used. When she open the Royal Carriage she look inside if something usable but there is nothing.

But at the edge of the couch there is something that is shining. When she took it, It was a Knife.

"This is!" Elisia's eyes widened when she see the knife" This is the gift i receive from Mae..." She embrace the knife that her Friend gave to her when it was her birthday, and close her eyes. Remembering the Happy moment they do.

When she open her eyes she look at the Traveller wrecked carriage.

"Can i find something there?" Said by Elisia while holding the knife. She was about to go to the wrecked carriage

However

Swoosh!

"Eh...?" Puzzled by the sudden numbness at the back of her right shoulder, Elisia look at her shoulder and see an Arrow stack at her skin, No. The arrow head goes deep at her skin to flesh.

When she touched it and pulled it that's when she feel how hurt it was.

"AAGHHH!!!"

As she pulled back the arrow, She touched her shoulder and tried to stop the bleeding but when she was about to do it.

"Hello, Princess of the Kingdom of Fillia" a man suddenly appeared at her back. Elisia widened her eyes because of surprised, because the man she saw is the one she would never ever be suspicious about.

Innocent Voice, blonde hair, alluring sharped eye lashes, deep blue eyes, sharp nose, killer smile, well refined body, white long sleeve , Blue Vest with a golden patch of a lion sign in the right side, his jeans is dark blue, blue cape, at the right of his waist is a sword that well design, the vest upper body has a gold chained.

Elisia will never be wrong because the man that's in front of her is no other than.

"It's nice to see you here.." said by the man

"Elis.." the man snorted at Elisia and folded his arms.

"W...why... Floyd....?.." Elisia said while she was about to cry because of betrayal..
