Frowned Upon as the Child of a Prostitute, the Seventh Prince Becomes the Strongest Wizard after Working Hard since Infancy - chapter 9

‘Ogaaaaaaah!!!’
‘Kyaaaaaah!’
‘Oh, it’s all right, Princess! My magic will strike this thing down!’
Princess Elizabeth screams and falls on the ground.
Dust said this as if he was trying to be strong while confronting the ogre, but there was clearly a hint of fear in his voice.
‘Damn, take that, monster! Magic bullet!!!!’
*Shuush*
‘Oga…?’
A magic bullet fired by Dust hits the torso of the ogre.
……It disappeared after being played with little damage.
The ogre stops moving for a moment as if to ask, ‘What did that do?’ It tilts its head as if to mock the magic.(TL/N: Ogre based)
‘Eh… eh?’
Dust stands there looking puzzled.
He seriously thought he could beat him with their current magic.
‘Ogaaaaaaaaah!!!’
‘Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!’
The ogre, which seems to have misunderstood Dust’s magic as an offer to fight, attacks Dust in a rage.
Dust let out a drawn-out scream and turned away from the ogre and fled.
‘Wait, Dust-Sama!’
‘I can’t do it! I don’t want to die!’
Despite all his talk of protecting the princess, when Dust saw that his magic was completely ineffective, he turned his back and ran away.
‘Ah…’
The princess left behind looks desperate.
‘Ogaaaaaaaaaa！！！！’
The ogre’s swinging blow looms over the princess’s head.
‘Elizabeth-Sama!’
I shouted the princess’s name as quickly as I could and deployed a magic wall around Elizabeth.
‘Demonic Wall!’
‘Ogagh!’
The ogre whose attack is repelled backs away.
‘You are…!’
Elizabeth’s eyes widen when I appear behind her.
‘Stand up, Princess..! It’s not safe here!’
…
The princess, standing up as if she had been played, pulls herself to her feet.
‘Lux-Sama, let’s run away, together!’
‘No, I’m fine. You stay back.’
‘It’s reckless! To stand alone against a monster like that…’
‘I’m fine, don’t worry.’
I said this and made Elizabeth move backwards, and then I mercilessly fired magic bullets at the frightened ogre whose attack was repelled by the magic wall.
‘O… gaa ……’.
A minute later, an ogre with numerous holes all over its body fell to the ground.
‘I can’t believe it…’
Elizabeth’s eyes widen in surprise as she alternates between the dead ogre and me.
“You are ……, Lux-Sama…?”
‘Yes, Lux. Elisabeth-Sama. Are you all right? Are you hurt?’
‘How did you get here…?’
‘I happened to be nearby and I heard a scream and I thought it could be a monster, so I ran over to see… you were being attacked by an ogre. I came as quickly as I could.’
Was that an over-the-top description?
It’s not as if I was tailing the princess.
But I lied.
‘No, …… I would be dead if it weren’t for you, Lux-Sama. Thank you for saving my life.’
‘Yes, Elizabeth-Sa…ma?’
Elizabeth slowly hugged me.
Her body was shaking in small tremors.
Apparently, the ogre was quite frightening.
Is it weird to say that?
Elizabeth is almost the same age as me.
If kids end up in mortal danger, they are distraught and it is impossible to recover quickly.
‘Thank you… Lux-Sama… that was terrifying… I thought I was going to die…’
‘But I’m fine now.’
For some time afterwards, Elizabeth continued to tremble in my arms.
I gently patted her back and she eventually recovered and thanked me again, a little embarrassed.
I had sent the princess safely back to the Imperial Palace.
