940 Unknown Empress?
“Kneel down.” Yuuki pointed her finger down.
*Thud*
“!?” The middle-aged man immediately knelt down from the tremendous cold pressure. He shivered instantly and felt scared. This Saint-level princess was so overbearing. “This, this princess may have misunderstood. I want to remind your servant that you-“
“Stop talking. She is my master, not a servant. Watch what you say.” Yuuki slapped empty air, freezing half of the middle-aged man’s face to utter another nonsense.
Someone who created a Saint as a servant was definitely an Empress! The middle-aged man gasped and immediately apologized with a prostration. Still, he couldn’t speak because half of his face was frozen.
“Yuuki, it’s okay. Let’s meet Eve now. All of you, please come to the palace.” Elysia held Yuuki’s arm and teleported to Evelyn’s side with a poof.
“Wow, truly a top tier powerhouse. It’s a teleportation!”
“It’s a good thing we’re not as stupid as that man.”
“He is lucky that unknown Empress didn’t press any further and released him regardless of his offense.”
pAn,D a-n0ve1,c-o-m “She is an Empress in disguise? A secret official visit?”
“Anyway, it looks like they really wanted to come to the palace on some important business, but this little thief was just unlucky enough to offend them.”
“So, shall we go to the palace now to get our things back? The Royal Family will be the one to handle it, right?”
“Are you able to properly describe the stolen item? If not, it will be lost forever.”
“Worry not, but what should we do with this little demon thief?”
People exchanged words among each other in amazement at the two peerless beauties just now. They then gave their undivided attention to the little ninja thief, who was half-frozen.
“Welp, people have mercy. I didn’t hurt you so you can’t touch me.” The ninja boy was still trying to free himself from the ice shackles.
“Well, the Unknown Empress asked us to take him to the palace to be punished.”
“But, he froze and stuck to the road. So, we can only cut his legs or bring him with a chunk of the road.”
“Let’s beat him up first. He’s been stealing here since the last few days.”
*Crack* *Boom*
“Hahaha, consider today is my bad luck. See you later, moron!” The ninja boy used a little trick to free himself from the shackles, then threw a smoke bomb. He rushed to run away from the location despite his sore legs.
*Cough* *Cough*
“Damn, that little thief managed to escape!”
“How can we explain to the Unknown Empress and the Royal Family?”
People coughed from the smoke. They were confused because the little ninja thief had run away once again. At that moment, several imperial guards came closer.
“What’s going on here?” An imperial guard asked.
“I don’t know. We’d better report immediately. Hey, imperial guards, you came just in time.” One of the townspeople immediately explained the situation. Everyone in the vicinity then went to the palace.
“Urgh!” The middle-aged man tried to remove the mask-like ice that had frozen half of his face. It was like a super cool mask that blended into his skin. It stuck tightly and was hard to take off.
“Elder Lian, do you need help? Please don’t force the ice mask off or you’ll tear the skin on your face.” A young man tried to help.
“Please stop, the warm water might help you unseal the ice mask. It was your fault for speaking so rudely in front of the people of unknown origin.” Another elder came with a pot of hot water.
“Hmm!?” Elder Lian immediately took a safe distance.
It was not warm water, but boiling water! His face would be scalded because of it.
“Stay there and don’t move. Disciples, hold him down. You almost offended an Empress and a Saint, fool.” Another elder gave an order to his people.
The disciples immediately held Elder Lian’s hands and feet. The man with hot water immediately helped release the seal of the ice mask. A few minutes later, the ice mask’s seal finally came off.
“Damn, I’m really unlucky. I was robbed by that little demon thief, and bullied by them.” Elder Lian rubbed his face. It felt numb and a bit sore.
“Well, we need to head over to the palace to retrieve our stolen belongings. Those peerless beauties are righteous, and the Royal Family will not mistreat us.” Another elder sighed and walked towards the palace.
At that moment, a girl with long brown hair ran from the alley to the main street. She was only clad in casual clothes and looked like an ordinary city girl. Upon spotting his acquaintances, he rushed over to them. “Uncle Lian, please help me!”
“What else is going on? Wait, who are you? I don’t recognize you, and why do you call me uncle?” Elder Lian jumped backwards when an unknown girl rushed towards him.
*Thud*
The girl fell down on the road because she tripped. She had a lot of grievances and felt wronged. She was happy to meet his clan’s members but realized they couldn’t recognize her right now.
But it didn’t hurt to try. She immediately stood up. “It’s me, Young Master Blake! Can’t you recognize me? I’m currently under the devil’s magic. Please help me to dispel the curse!”
“Young Master Blake? You pretended to be a ghost, and no one would believe it. You’re the girl who wanted to set us up, right?” Elder Lian frowned, not believing the ruse because the girl before him was just ordinary. No disguise magic had been detected, but the twin peak on her chest was suspicious.
“Wait, this kind of resonance… You really are Young Master Blake? Err, we didn’t know you had this tendency at night. Ahem, we didn’t see anything.” Another elder soon realized the truth but didn’t dare to say it clearly.
“That’s what they did! Princess Evelyn and her friends bullied me! They made my hair grow long, changed my voice with magic, then gave this load of burden on my chest. They want to give me punishment and turn me into a girl.” Blake pointed towards the palace.
“Pfft, for real? Is it really you and your reasons? You have a hobby like that, don’t you, Ladyboy Blake?” A dashing man in black armor came closer while holding back his laughter. He didn’t expect to find a funny thing in the middle of the city’s main street.
“What, prince? You damn, I will see you later and punish your little sister!” Blake just realized that many people were watching him. He immediately ran away in embarrassment because he had already lost his face!
“Heh, you won’t be able to touch her even a single hair, you fool. That might be divine punishment for you playing around with women too much. You will experience being a woman and know how they feel.” Prince Bilie snorted and continued walking towards the palace, with his knights following.
“You didn’t chase him? Even though he looks like that, he is still your young master. It’s already late, and one doesn’t know what will happen to him if he runs in the alley like that.” Prince Bilie glanced at the Grant Clan’s members as she passed them.
“You chase after him. We are going to the palace to retrieve the little demon thief’s stolen goods.” Elder Lian divided his group into two.
“Alright. Make sure you retrieve our belongings. Our clan’s Space Bags share similar characteristics.” An elder nodded and led two disciples to follow him, chasing after their lady-like young master.
“We let that little thief go?” Luna asked the fairy-like Goddess.
“Yes, we let him go. He steals things from the rich for the poor and should only be for the bad rich, not the good rich. I have warned him, and he will not dare to steal carelessly again.” Nell glanced at the suburban area. That little ninja thief slumped over in the corner of the alley, panicking because of her divine warning.
She then rubbed her tummy and flew to the palace. “Let’s go back for dinner. I’m already hungry.”
“…” Elysia went speechless after listening to the girls’ stories. Sylvia’s laughter sounded so happy and satisfied, so she chose not to do anything since Evelyn agreed.
“Hehe, he will pay a fair price. His morph won’t be able to be lifted because it’s a semi-permanent.” Sylvia felt somewhat proud.
“Huff, how is it semi-permanent? It’s not illusion magic or disguise?” Yuuki sighed. The mischievous devil did something again, but she didn’t want to meddle with the current case.
“Yep, the magic I used was just to give his chest a little lump, and make his hair long. Dori did something to change his vocal cords a bit more feminime. It’s semi-permanent because there’s no magic after that. Aren’t my punishment idea awesome?” Sylvia replied with a wink.
“If it’s semi-permanent, how can he be himself again after a month of punishment?” Elysia put her hand to her forehead.
“Eh, ah… haha, it’s okay, maybe… He will be fine as long he becomes a good boy.” Sylvia laughed dryly and avoided Elysia’s gaze.
“He still has his family jewel, so he is still a boy. No worry, the world is advanced. After a month, his fake breasts will deflate on its own and his vocal cords will revert back on their own. After he cut his hair, he will return to normal. Hopefully, he gets a valuable lesson to appreciate women better.” Dori rubbed her chin like an old sage.
“Hehe, he might be traumatized.” Elysia shook her head with a helpless smile.
“I’m back. Ely, I have already informed my father and the high-level imperial knights have been dispatched to do the task you requested. The stolen items will be returned to their owners as long as they can clearly describe the lost items to imperial knights.” Evelyn returned to the room.
“Little thief is so talented. He stolen many things from people and might rival a nobleman’s treasury.” Vanessa commented casually.
