Chapter 134: Three People Forced into a Desperate Situation
"I'm so annoyed! You always act so superior just because you're a princess... Have you ever thought about how hard it is for us nobles!!"
"That's you! You always do selfish things... It always gives your mother a headache. Fortunately, your pranks are just childish!"
"What do you mean by childish? You always say things like 'my brother is like this and my mother is like this'... You praise the merits of our family to the skies, but you do whatever you want. You have no right to criticize me!"
"Are you insulting your mother? Your words are a felony! As a princess, I will plunge the MacLeod family into darkness! Feel the regret!"
Minerva made a statement while accusing Erwin in the emotional quarrel. Erwin was deeply annoyed by this: "Tsk... you dare to act so high and mighty when you are trying to get rid of the second prince..."
"What did you say? I don't want to be lectured by someone like you! I also want to take revenge on Lord Seide!"
"Oh, you are a princess, your words are so rude. For the sake of the country, it would be better for you to be gentle, right?"
"Shut up!"
"Wow! What are you doing, you rude person!"
"You are the one being rude, aren't you!?"
“Ahhhh! You, you——!”
"let me go!"
Minerva and Erwin were grabbing at each other, their argument going beyond words and turning into a simple children's fight. Watching all this from a distance, Biz leisurely checked the status of the device.
"Well... this is to be expected... let's prepare a second plan."
Listening to their noise, Biz started rummaging through the cabinets.

“Gululululu—”
The wild monsters were roaring. Their eyes were glowing red, and they began to move unsteadily. Their footsteps were directed towards the capital, as if they were being guided. They seemed to be looking for a higher concentration of magic particles.
The outer wall cannot be climbed, and even if they try to invade from the air, they will be blocked by the wall of magic. The monsters naturally move towards the gate of the royal capital.
“Galalaala!!”
“Howl!”
“Whoosh!”
The number of monsters gradually increased. They roared and screamed, slowly but firmly approaching the capital. Wesley had received a message, and the gatekeepers everywhere were also nervous.
There was no telling when and where the monsters would attack. The power of the monsters was unpredictable. It was still unsettling to just keep the door tightly shut. Whether they could really greet the morning safely was already a serious concern.
"What is that? It's a whole bunch of them!"
A goalkeeper who had climbed up to the observation tower was trembling as he looked through a telescope. He looked at the goalkeeper below and shouted in panic.
"Hey! Is the city gate closed?!"
“No doubt about it, it’s perfect! I just checked it!”
"Okay...if there is anything unusual, notify me immediately!"
"clear!"
The gatekeeper below saluted and ran back to his post. Then the soldier on the watchtower used the telescope to observe the situation outside the city gate again, and he tutted with displeasure on his face.
"Lady Minerva and that stupid son of the Macread family suddenly disappeared, and now this is happening again... What on earth happened!?"
The commotion continued, please stop, the soldier in the watchtower hoped sincerely. He had a sense of how slim this hope was.
————————————————————
Even in the early morning, the commotion in the capital continued to grow. The city gates were all sealed, so monsters could not enter the capital, but this also prevented adventurers and merchants from leaving the capital.
As the citizens' anxiety grew, the nobles rushed to the palace for protection, some even engaging in desperate self-promotion by showing off their contributions.
The ministers and the knights on standby maintained order at the entrance, but they were worried that the situation was also dangerous.
A person who is cornered may show unpredictable strength. It is not impossible for him to lose his mind and use hidden weapons to attack, which is also a headache for those around the queen.
"I hope it won't cause internal conflict with the nobles."
“Or is it just a thought? Honestly, this doesn’t sound like a joke.”
Felini sighed helplessly, and the guard Brenda also sighed. Seeing this, Felini quickly cleared her throat and a serious expression appeared on her face.
"The monsters' movements haven't changed. The wizard's barrier is working, but I don't know how long it will last. In any case, now we can only wait and see."
"Yes."
Brenda nodded, but she still felt uneasy. It was obvious that this was not a natural occurrence. There must be some reason. She believed that if this reason was not eliminated, the riot would not be quelled.
"Maybe this has something to do with Biz." Felini said as if she suddenly remembered. In the capital of Sforia, this name is famous in a sense, and Brenda has also heard of it.
"Biz once wanted to become a court mage, mainly to focus more on his hobby of inventing magical devices. He has a tendency to make high-risk items, and I don't think he is suitable to be a court mage."
"You told him that yourself, didn't you? And then he left the palace."
In fact, the news that Bizz had been told by Felini herself that he could not become a court mage had also spread to the Elven Country, where Brenda was also trained.
"Yes. I didn't expect that he was still pursuing the title of Court Mage and continuing his inventions..."
“It’s impossible to keep track of everyone’s movements, let alone those who leave on their own accord, I think.”
Faced with a regretful Philini, Brenda spoke to comfort her, and even though it might not be much of a comfort, she thought it was better than saying nothing.
Just then, the door of the queen's room was pushed open.
"Excuse me!" a soldier rushed in. He looked panicked, and Felini and Brenda became nervous too.
"Deep in the western forest, we found a strange hut. It is said that this building is covered by a powerful magic and cannot be entered even if you want to."
Felini and Brenda both thought this was indeed strange. The soldier's report continued: "A magician belonging to the palace said that there is a special magic raging there. Lord Austin is heading there now, and he hopes that Her Majesty can also help."
"Understood. Lead the way. Brenda, you come too."
"Yes!"
