Western Fantasy: The Princess Wants to Save the World

The waiting time is always anxious, especially when you don’t know when Freya will take action.

Cecilia was not only waiting for news from Duke Bulwell, but also waiting for when Valken would lead his troops over.

Cecilia did not receive any news from either side, but she did not dare to sit idle, so she asked the knight who had obtained the news to go out of the city and explain things to the giants.

"Whether they want to leave here temporarily or think of other solutions, we must wait until they decide before coming back."

The knight saluted and left.

There was nothing to do today, so Cecilia sat downstairs in the hotel to relax for a while. Looking at the dark cloudy sky in the distance, she always had a bad feeling.

Before he could send someone to investigate, Finnian found Cecilia and said, "The mayor of the city claimed that someone in the city was pretending to be a princess, and the portrait they posted was of you."

The air before it's about to rain always feels hard to breathe.

Cecilia was not surprised that Freya would do this. She took a deep breath and asked, "How many people have seen the portrait?"

"A lot. The city lord has offered a reward and closed the city gates."

Cecilia’s first thought was – has the knight left the city?

Finnian was concerned, "Please feel free to contact me if you need me."

In Finnian's view, Cecilia is the real princess, but the city lord has issued a city-wide wanted warrant, which is obviously a blatant challenge to the royal power.

There were only a dozen or so knights around Cecilia, and Captain Valken was not there yet, so Finnian naturally thought that he had to protect the princess's safety at this time.

"If you need to prove your identity to the world, I can help you."

Freya's current goal is to find herself, although Cecilia doesn't understand why Freya doesn't ask Elar, but uses such a complicated way to find herself.

It is obviously unwise to rush in before understanding the situation clearly.

Cecilia shook her head. "The situation is a little complicated. I will explain it to you when I have the chance. I have an unwelcome request. From now on, the knights of the Royal Knights will disguise themselves as your servants, and I may need to pretend to be your sister."

Finnian was surprised, but did not deny Cecilia's proposal. "I am the only son in the family and I have no brothers or sisters. This is something the church knows."

"No cousins ​​either?"

Finnian nodded, "My father's generation was also small."

Cecilia didn't believe it and searched the system for Finnian's interpersonal relationships. It turned out that Finnian only had one cousin.

Finnian hesitated and said, "If you don't mind, we can announce to the public that we are an engaged couple."

Cecilia didn't care about that. She wanted to get through this first. "It's settled then. I have to go and explain it to them now."

Finnian watched Cecilia leave. Cecilia quickly explained the situation to everyone. The news of the city lord's rebellion had already spread among the knights, and they could understand Cecilia's arrangement.

As early as when leaving Petra, Cecilia had asked these accompanying knights to travel in casual clothes, which saved them a lot of trouble in changing clothes and other matters.

She immediately called Celine and asked her to remake her makeup.

When Celine just started, Cecilia had already heard the commotion coming from downstairs.

The hotel owner saw Cecilia every day, so he naturally reported her immediately when he saw the wanted notice, for fear that someone would share the prize money with him.

The knights downstairs and the guards from the city who were responsible for capturing Cecilia were chatting and laughing, buying time for Cecilia.

The knights were not delayed for too long, as Cecilia had already heard the gatekeeper going upstairs.

With her life hanging by a thread, Celine put down her tools.

In just ten minutes, there was only so much Celine could do. She found a way to change Cecilia's eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil, and used lip balm to create a birthmark of moderate size at the corner of Cecilia's eye.

When the guards broke in, Cecilia used magic to freeze the makeup on her face.

She didn't know what she looked like on the wanted posters posted all over the city. Not only did Cecilia not know, even the people in the hotel didn't know.

The guard and the innkeeper walked up to Cecilia.

Celine yelled "Outrageous!"

The guard ignored him and placed the portrait next to Cecilia's face for comparison. "Follow the orders of the city lord and arrest the suspicious person who is impersonating Her Royal Highness. Please cooperate."

Cecilia took the opportunity to take a look. Fortunately, the portrait itself was not very similar. It was obviously not a portrait created by Ellard using magic. It seemed more like the painter had drawn it based on the description.

Cecilia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Celine was extremely angry. "Breaking into a woman's accommodation without permission, is this the custom in your city of Aslaide?"

The guard glanced at the innkeeper. After all, there were many people who wanted the reward. When the portrait was posted, many people said they had seen this person.

Only the hotel owner was particularly sure that he knew where the person was. "Is this what you mean by certain?"

The hotel owner was also anxious. "No, sir, she doesn't usually have this red stuff on her face. I swear to the sun goddess, I'm not lying!"

The guard looked at Cecilia suspiciously, "Is what he said true?"

To prove that he was not lying, the hotel owner even pointed to the numerous makeup tools on the table and said, "Look, sir, they disguised themselves before you came!"

The guard looked in the direction the innkeeper pointed, and Cecilia saw that the knight outside the door was already ready to make a move.

It seemed that the only people who had gone upstairs were the guard in front of them and the innkeeper, so it was completely fine for the knights to take action.

The guard walked to the table and picked up the makeup tools. "Answer me!"

Cecilia remained calm, "Celine, go get a wet towel."

Upon hearing this, Celine went to get a wet towel. Cecilia took the towel and wiped her face many times, but there was no trace left on the towel.

Cecilia handed the towel to Celine again, "I didn't know it was illegal for a woman to cover up the blemishes on her face before going out."

Finnian heard the news and rushed over. Unlike the casual clothes he wore when they met just now, Finnian was now wearing a set of church-style clothes.

"What's going on, honey?"

Cecilia covered her face with a handkerchief, looking like a little woman. "These two barged in without explanation and took me away with a portrait, saying that I was pretending to be the princess."

Finnian had already walked in front of Cecilia. He looked at the portrait in the guard's hand and said, "Goddess of the Sun, my fiancée is much prettier than this lady."

Seeing that the huge reward was about to be paid, the innkeeper refused to agree to anything, "Where did you come from again?"
