Chapter 165: A Princess Who Doesn’t Want to Be Queen Is Not a Good Prince
“Princess Shuliya, black magic is strictly forbidden on Queen Island. Even if you are a Princess, you cannot violate this law.” At this moment, Abigail felt no sense of honor in rescuing the Princess, only a bone-chilling fear.
The first Queen of Queen Island was a witch skilled in black magic. Otherwise, how could she have led a group of women to independence and established a foothold? Therefore, successive Queens have a tradition of practicing black magic. This is the foundation for them to resist foreign enemies and maintain their rule.
However, as the bloodline concentration decreased and there was a lack of external replenishment, the practice of black magic became increasingly difficult. This undoubtedly shook the royal family’s rule over Queen Island and its deterrent power against foreign enemies.
Witches are emotionally unstable. Coupled with the practice of black magic and the Queen’s unrestricted power, it was inevitable that she would eventually lose control. Various bloody and cruel black magic rituals plunged the entire Queen Island into a long period of panic.
One day, a Princess of Queen Island chose a completely different path. She stopped practicing black magic and instead introduced guns and cannons from the outside world, gathering civilians for training.
The royal family of Queen Island was not unaware of this, but they simply didn’t care. Instead, they mocked her naivety and ignorance, even calling her the Gunpowder Princess.
But it was this Gunpowder Princess who, three years later, led her personally trained musketeers into the royal city, launching a brutal massacre.
In the end, the Gunpowder Princess killed all her sisters who practiced black magic, including her own mother. On the day she ascended the throne, she declared that practicing black magic was an unforgivable crime.
Although the Gunpowder Queen’s methods against her blood relatives were cruel, it must be said that it was a great boon for the people of Queen Island. Therefore, despite the stain of killing her own kin, she was still supported by the vast majority of the people. Coupled with the suffering they had endured from black magic, the decree she announced on the first day of her reign became an inviolable law on Queen Island.
Therefore, Abigail was not lying. If this matter were known to the royal family, the best outcome for Princess Shuliya would be lifelong imprisonment. If it were exposed, being publicly sent to the guillotine was not impossible.
“Forbidden law? Forbidden to touch black magic? What a ridiculous statement! If the first Queen were to be resurrected and discover that black magic, the foundation of Queen Island, was considered a sin, I’m afraid she would make you experience the power of black magic yourselves.” The seemingly weak Shuliya no longer disguised himself. He held the first Queen’s black magic book, standing in the inverted pentagram. He felt the magic power transformed from the sinful souls devoured by the book flow into his body, feeling so good he almostโฆ even the front of his puffy skirt bulged.
Seeing this, Abigail’s face became even uglier, and she was also very puzzled.
The royal family of Queen Island still inherited the magic bloodline, but the problem was that this bloodline originated from witches. Theoretically, only female descendants could awaken it. But the problem was that the Third Princess was a man!
This involved a secret of the royal family. This generation of the Queen had few descendants, only three.
The First Princess, as the heir to Queen Island, was busy studying and handling official duties all day long. The Second Princess, as the leader of Queen Island’s foreign plundering fleet, sailed abroad all year round. Only Shuliya had always been by the Queen’s side.
However, according to the traditions of Queen Island, men had no right of inheritance and would be sent away at a very young age, never to be seen again.
In the end, loneliness led the Queen to make a decision that went against her ancestors. She raised Shuliya as a daughter from a young age. For this, she even made him take a magic potion, making him delicate and soft, with no visible male characteristics.
Coincidentally, Shuliya had a delicate appearance and a gentle voice. Therefore, very few people knew this fact over the years. If Abigail hadn’t been the Queen’s confidante, she probably wouldn’t have known this secret either.
But who knew the bitterness in Shuliya’s heart? After all, some problems could not be solved by a bottle of magic potion, especially the mocking eyes of the First and Second Princesses, which tormented him every moment.
But Shuliya didn’t dare to show any dissatisfaction because his true self could not be exposed. Once exposed, he would lose everything.
Shuliya didn’t even dare to complain to his mother, the current Queen, because he knew very well that the First Princess was the next Queen, and this was unchangeable. The Second Princess controlled the foreign plundering fleet and also held a high position of power. Only he was just a plaything to amuse the Queen.
Yes, a plaything. Shuliya could feel that as he grew older, the Queen’s love for him decreased.
Being ridiculed since childhood and living in constant fear completely twisted Shuliya’s heart. It was ignited when he accidentally came into contact with the black magic book left by the first Queen.
The first Queen was a powerful witch, so powerful that she sealed a Devil in her black magic book to serve as a think tank and search engine.
Unfortunately, after coming to this world, even the first Queen’s strength was inevitably affected. Therefore, to prevent her descendants from being tricked by the Devil, this powerful witch completely sealed it before her death.
This was undoubtedly a wise choice. The problem was that the first Queen underestimated the impact of this low-mysticism world on the seal, and even more so the erosion of time. Therefore, centuries later, the seal inevitably developed loopholes, allowing the Devil inside to encounter her blood descendant.
It must be said that the Devil was very good at manipulating people’s hearts. With a few words, he made Shuliya give up everything, pretend to yearn for pirates, sweet-talk his way onto Abigail’s ship as the Queen Island’s envoy to Pirate Island, and deliberately reveal his identity to get himself captured.
As for Shuliya’s goal, it can only be said that a princess who doesn’t want to be queen is not a good prince.
Yes, Shuliya’s goal was to become Queen.
Although his goal had not yet been achieved, Shuliya was no longer the weak and incompetent waste he once was. The Devil transformed the souls of sinners into evil magic power, activating the witch bloodline in his body that was originally impossible to activate. Therefore, although he was discovered, he was not panicked at all.
Hehe, the infighting of humans always brings me so much joy!
In the black magic book, the Devil chuckled softly, but still strictly adhered to the contract, not withholding a single bit of magic power. He transformed the souls of sinners into evil magic power and poured it into Shuliya’s body, forcibly activating the witch bloodline within him, and giving him an extra set of physical modifications as a bonus, like free maintenance with a new car purchase.
Shuliya, immersed in power, wantonly released his newfound magic. The ten Queen Island soldiers, who could easily take down pirates, had already fainted without any resistance. Only Abigail was still holding on, but she knew she couldn’t hold on for long because of the Queen Island contract, the suppression they were under was too great.
When the first Queen established a foothold on Queen Island, she made a contract with all the women who followed her, the famous Queen’s Contract.
Because the contract was established with black magic, the descendants of those women were unable to resist the magic power of the same origin as the first Queen. This was why the Gunpowder Queen had to train a firearm army because close combat was impossible. Once magic power was released, everyone would collapse.
