Miss Witch, Please Don't Leave Your Fragrance Everywhere[TL]

Chapter 4: the cursed princess



 The Kingdom of Pilsen, a feudal kingdom located on the east side of the continent, is now ruled by King Andrew, who is praised as a wise king.

  Since Andrew inherited the throne, the Kingdom of Pilsen has never been involved in a large-scale war. Andrew is good at handling and reconciling relations with the nobles and the church, and serious conflicts have never broken out. The people live and work in peace and contentment under his rule, and bards have not hesitated to sing the praises of this peaceful and prosperous era.

  King Andrew is assisted by the great magician Merlin, who is over 90 years old and highly respected. By the time of Andrew's generation, Merlin has served three dynasties. Under Merlin's guidance, King Andrew's only daughter, Ecclesia, the future heir to the kingdom, has also achieved outstanding academic and attainment in magic.

  Therefore, no one could imagine the anxious look on King Andrew's face in the palace.

  "Sir Merlin, are you sure you estimate that they will arrive in Pilsen today?"

  The middle-aged man with a neatly groomed beard confirmed with the court chief magician for the seventeenth time today. Facing Andrew's questioning, the white-haired old man stroked his long beard and spoke slowly.

  "That's right. Your Majesty, it won't be later than sunset. Although Slude is a bit frivolous, he never neglects his duties."

  The last time he saw the king so anxious was when the princess was born. Merlin knew that it was not because Andrew did not trust him, but that his one and only precious daughter had suffered such a strange curse, and Andrew was too concerned.

  Suddenly, the magic in the palace air became restless, and Merlin raised his eyebrows. This was a sign that a high-level magic was activated. Merlin estimated that the time would not be enough to travel between the two places by means of transportation. However, if someone was proficient in the spatial folding of the Projection sequence 2, they could be directly teleported from the Misty Mountains to the Kingdom of Pilsen.

  The space on the red carpet in the center of the palace gradually distorted, and the figures of two girls appeared out of thin air in the palace.

  "Huh... I haven't used this magic for a long time. I wasted some unnecessary magic power."

  Angelica rubbed her shoulders lazily. The storage of magic power is of utmost importance at all times. It is generally believed that magicians who master high-level magic are omnipotent and can control life and death, but in fact, even if they reach the level of witch, the magic power is still not unlimited.

  "Huh? You're here so soon? Your Majesty, Slude has accomplished your mission."

  After coming to his senses, Slud immediately went to see King Andrew respectfully.

  "This is... the hermit recommended by Lord Merlin?"

  "Greetings, Your Majesty King Andrew. I have heard from Slude the whole story. Let's get straight to the point. But before we solve the King's problem, can I have a little chat with you?"

  "Unworthy disciple? Lord Merlin? Please do as you please."

  Andrew knew that Merlin's master was an immortal witch, but the fact that she looked like a polite little girl was really...

  "Die, Merlin!!!"

  …I take it back. She is not polite at all.

  After getting permission, Angelica lifted up her large wizard robe and kicked Merlin directly in the face. After knocking Merlin down, she trampled on him madly with her boots.

  "An orc with a strong body odor?! You've been ruining my reputation all day long. When I first started out, you kept saying that my magic was taught to me by a wise and beautiful witch. Now that I've become a bit more skilled, I've become an orc with a strong body odor, right?"

  "Oh oh! Be gentle! I am old and can't stand the torture! Teacher, do you still like to wear these strong boots?"

  "Are you going to beg for mercy?"

  "Ah no, what I want to say is that if you insist on stepping on me, can you take off your boots... Uuuuu!?"

  Angelica unceremoniously stepped on the back of the head of the kingdom's most powerful court magician.

  "You wish. And I put on my boots five minutes ago. They are very clean."

  "That's so boring."

  Merlin was greatly disappointed, although he had never been stepped on by Angelica like that before. Sometimes Merlin thought seriously about whether he should really consider asking Angelica to take off her boots and step on him, but he always felt that his soul after death might never rest in peace.

  "Please don't treat Master like this! If you want to step on me, please step on me!"

  Slude hurried forward to help his master, leaving King Andrew standing there in a daze.

  He couldn't understand it, but he was deeply shocked.

  But Angelica did not continue to torture Merlin. She jumped on Merlin twice, and it seemed that one could hear the sound of broken bones. Merlin was no longer the young and strong man he was eighty years ago.

  It was definitely not a problem of the witch's weight. Angelica was very confident that her body was as light as a feather.

  Angelica jumped down from the court magician who almost died under the witch's boots, tidied her slightly messy long hair, and asked King Andrew as if nothing had happened.

  "It's time to get down to business. Tell me where the princess's room is."

  "…This way."

  Andrew chose to give up thinking.

  The king personally led the way and led the witch to the princess's boudoir. Due to the time difference, it was still afternoon in the Misty Mountains where Angelica lived, but it was already evening in the Kingdom of Pilsen. According to the time calculation, Princess Ecclesia should have triggered the curse at this time.

  Therefore, King Andrew, who came to the door, gave Angelica a few words of advice out of caution.

  "My beloved daughter was born shy, and now she has suffered such a vicious curse. Whenever the curse strikes, she locks herself in her room and refuses to receive anyone. Not to mention her father, she even drives out her closest maid."

  "Is it that serious?"

  Andrew sighed and made way for Angelica. Although Angelica was a stranger they had just met, she was a famous teacher recommended by Merlin, who had devoted himself to the kingdom, and was absolutely trustworthy.

  The princess's boudoir in the palace had the most luxurious decorations and furniture, especially the dazzling array of cosmetics on the dressing table. Even though King Andrew was known for his integrity, as a father he would always leave the best things to his beloved daughter.

  Sitting on the bed, crying with her face covered, was a beautiful silver-haired girl: Princess Ecclesia. Her not-too-loose pajamas outlined the princess's soft body. Slud only said that Ecclesia's lower body had turned into a man's, but concealed important information. Such a thing could not be told outside.

  To put it in a euphemistic way… it's about the state of the average office worker when he sees Mona Lisa's folded hands, and he becomes refreshed.

  No wonder the princess is ashamed to see people. No matter how thick her skirt is, it can't hide it.

  "Patience sequence nine: central nervous system inhibition."

  When Princess Ecclesia noticed a stranger entering the room without knocking, her beautiful blue pupils shrank drastically, but the witch reacted faster and used the magic of forced calmness in advance.

  Central nervous system inhibition is a kind of magic similar to sedatives, used to relieve panic, anxiety and other overly tense emotions. Under the control of magic, Ecclesia suddenly recovered from her shock and returned to normal. She hurriedly hugged the pillow and covered it with red face. Ecclesia is a consistent character. She will restrain herself with royal etiquette when she is alone in her private room. She has no habit of exposing herself, but she is too exaggerated and can't stay still, so she has to confine herself to the room.

  "Excuse me, Princess. My name is Angelica. I was invited by Merlin, the chief magician of the palace, to help you break the curse."

  "I see... Sorry, I was a little too nervous just now, please forgive me."

  Angelica thought that Ecclesia would have a serious princess syndrome, but the result was completely the opposite. If Angelica were to evaluate it, it would be a pity that she was not captured by the dragon or the devil. Unfortunately, Angelica remembered that the classic heroine type of soft girl seemed to be less and less popular. The last beautiful girl with this personality was persecuted every day.

  "Then please let me take a good look at the place where the princess is cursed."

  "Do you have to observe closely...?"

  "There's no way to determine what kind of curse it is without careful observation."

  Ecclesia was about to cry, and it seemed as if Angelica was bullying her.

  Angelica sighed. So it's really troublesome to be a girl who has never seen the world. It's better for me to go home and continue farming.

  "Would Miss Angelica find it offensive?"

  "offend...?"

  Angelica was slightly startled, but then she realized that Ecclesia was worried that the filth would dirty Angelica's eyes. Angelica accepted Ecclesia's concerns as a matter of course, after all, she was so cute that even the goblins were reluctant to hit her with a club.

  "Princess, don't worry about it. I've seen a lot of that."

  "Eh? You're kidding, right?"

  Eclecia's eyes widened. To be honest, she found it hard to believe. She didn't think Angelica was a fickle woman.

  "I have worked in a mercenary group for a while. Princess, do you know the mercenary group? It is an armed organization that can accept any commission if you pay enough money."

  "I heard from the teacher that they would be hired during the war."

  There were few wars during King Andrew's reign, and the capital had enjoyed decades of peace, so Ecclesia's knowledge of the mercenary group was limited to text.

  "Yes, the mercenaries are full of rough men with strong limbs and simple minds. When they get the money, they will squander it immediately, either on a feast or looking for women. When they have nothing to do, they will compare the size of their penises, especially when they are drunk. They will do all kinds of outrageous and absurd things. As long as you stay in the mercenary group for a period of time, it is difficult not to see that."

  Ecclesia hesitated for a moment and chose to believe Angelica. Since entering the room, Angelica has always maintained a calm attitude, which makes Ecclesia seem timid and impolite. Ecclesia's education tells her that when a doctor comes to see a patient, she must not retreat because of shyness.

  Angelica observed it carefully from a close distance. Although it was a curse effect she had never seen before, she still determined the type of curse. The curse would be triggered in two time periods, one in the evening and the other in the early morning. In this way, even if you take medicine to break the curse, the curse will take effect again at a fixed time period.

  Angelica thought for a moment and temporarily left the princess's boudoir. Andrew, who was anxious outside the door, immediately came up to her.

  "It's a troublesome curse indeed... but not a problem in my opinion."

  Facing the sad-looking King Andrew, the witch under the wizard hat raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

  I am a great witch.

  "If you can help my daughter get rid of the curse, the Kingdom of Pilsen will reward you handsomely."

  Andrew's eyes suddenly lit up. He was indeed an expert recommended by the chief magician of the court. He had an idea in just a few minutes.

  "I heard that Princess Ecclesia is the only daughter of His Majesty the King. I guess His Majesty the King is also worried about the Princess's future marriage, right?"

  "Indeed."

  Andrew did not deny that no prince of any country would be willing to accept such a curse. Andrew's wife, the Queen of the Kingdom of Pilsen, had reached the age of losing her fertility. If Ecclesia could not marry and leave offspring, the royal family would fall into the hands of a collateral branch.

  Of course, there is another way for Andrew to find a new lover. As long as he has a son, he can legitimately raise his son's inheritance order ahead of Ecclesia, or simply abolish Ecclesia's inheritance rights, but Andrew does not want to do this. He has no aversion to the family relationship between his wife and daughter and does not have any political marriage. Therefore, in Andrew's view, the only solution is to find someone to break the curse that troubles his daughter.

  "I have a suggestion."

  "I'd like to hear more about it."

  "I think the curse that Princess Ecclesia transforms every day will have a serious impact on the fetus in her belly, so why don't we change our thinking: let Princess Ecclesia find a girl."

  "???"

  "Although Princess Ecclesia is cursed and cannot give birth to a royal heir, I have determined that she definitely has the ability to pass on royal blood to other girls. In any case, the final result is no different."

  "Wow…"

  King Andrew fell into deep thought. It turned out there was such a trick. Indeed, if he did this, the problem of royal heir seemed to be solved.

  Angelica smiled, as sincere as an angel in white who saw a patient recover.

  "Okay, then the problem is solved perfectly! Please pay me, I'm going home to rest."

  "As for the reward, let me think...wait a minute, how will I explain the origin of the child then?"

  Andrew suddenly realized that something was wrong. Even if they could have children, an open marriage was necessary. He couldn't just let the two girls get married openly. I'm afraid the impact on the people would be immeasurable.

  "Tsk."

  "Did you just smack your lips?"

  "How could that be? That's not the case."

  Angelica felt regretful from the bottom of her heart as her plan to take the reward and go home to stay at home was ruined.

  "Teacher, please seriously remove the princess's curse."

  Merlin, the chief magician of the court, appeared again, with clear shoe prints on his face.
