The Princess is Kidnapped, the Kidnappers are Dangerous

The soldier thought and acted immediately. He took out The Tinderbox and struck a spark.

With a "whoosh," the dog with eyes like teacups immediately bounded out.

The soldier commanded the big dog, "I want to see the kingdom's Princess. Can you bring her here?"

The big dog obediently nodded and immediately ran out the door, disappearing into the deep night in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the dog hadn't refused the order, the soldier was both nervous and excited.

"Hahaha, the treasure that old Witch left behind is truly a good thing! Killing her and snatching this The Tinderbox was indeed the right choice."

But a few seconds later, the soldier suddenly realized a problem.

"The dog turned left after it went out, right?"

"But shouldn't the Royal Palace be to the right? Turning left is the way out of the city! The direction is completely wrong."

"This dog must have taken the wrong way!"

"A beast is a beast, not very smart after all."

The soldier covered his head, very annoyed.

Heaven knows what this dog that took the wrong way will bring back!

Outside the Royal Capital, in the suburbs.

In a wooden house in a Small Town, two Witches were talking.

"It's terrible. Aurora is gone! She was just in bed before. Do you know what happened?"

"I don't know either. I was sleeping soundly."

According to the agreement, the 12 Witches send two people each time to take care of Aurora with Rhine, while the other 10 are free to act. They rotate every few days.

These days, it was their turn to be responsible.

But tonight, Aurora mysteriously disappeared! The two Witches could only knock on Rhine's room, seeking help from this Sage of the kingdom with high magical power, hoping he could use divination to locate Aurora's whereabouts.

"Rhine, Rhine, Aurora is gone."

"I got up at night and wanted to quietly open the door to take a look at her, but I found Aurora was gone!"

When they pushed open Rhine's door, they found that the room was empty, with only the biting night wind blowing through.

"It's terrible, Rhine is also gone!"

The two Witches hugged each other.

"I heard that there are child traffickers active nearby. Princess might have been kidnapped!" The first Witch was extremely nervous and made a guess.

"If Princess is kidnapped by traffickers, that would be dangerous." The second Witch looked out at the dense night outside the window, her face showing worry.

"Wait, did I hear you right? Did you say Aurora was in danger?" The first Witch suddenly turned her head, her expression extremely surprised.

"Of course not!" The second Witch strongly retorted, correcting her wording, "I mean, the kidnappers who kidnapped Princess are in danger!"

"Oh, that's true." The first Witch immediately felt it made sense and nodded.

Which trafficker is so clueless, kidnapping other children is not good, but kidnapping Princess Aurora? Even if she is only a 10-year-old child now, there is no Warrior in the entire Rose Kingdom who is more capable than her! The two quickly discussed for a while and discovered another problem.

"Wait, did this kidnapper also kidnap Rhine?"

"Then the kidnapper is even more dangerous?"

"Yes, we should quickly find them back. Otherwise, who knows what will happen?"

Contrary to the soldier's expectations, after waiting for a long time, the dog really came back carrying a girl.

On the big dog's back was a blonde girl, who seemed to be asleep.

She was wearing plain clothes that were no different from commoners, but she was beautiful like a figure in a dream. The soldier only glanced at her sleeping face and felt that his soul seemed to be sucked into it, as if his mind was washed clean!

"Heavens, anyone can tell she is a true Princess! The dog actually brought back the kingdom's Princess! I thought it had taken the wrong way."

The soldier was extremely excited.

He looked around, making sure it was late at night and no one was around, and that the Princess was still asleep.

He leaned in, wanting to steal a kiss before the Princess woke up.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

Suddenly, Aurora opened her eyes, raised her hand to block the soldier's impudent gesture, gently pushed him away, her eyes flashing with alertness and hostility.

As a vigilant warrior, Aurora had been awake for a long time.

But she wanted to see where the strange creature that had captured her would take her, and had been pretending to be asleep all the way, squinting her eyes to leave a slit.

The soldier greeted Aurora, bowing very gentlemanly: "Oh, beautiful Princess, hello."

He wasn't afraid at all that he had just tried to do something impolite to the Princess.

The soldier believed that the Princess had been imprisoned in the depths of the palace, in a closed tower, for many years, and probably hadn't seen a man—her father, the King, was the only exception. She probably hadn't even seen many people!

He was obviously one of the few living people the Princess had ever seen.

The soldier liked this kind of ignorant beauty, which meant he could easily "play" the role of a mentor in her life, teaching her about interpersonal relationships and the common sense of the world.

Aurora frowned slightly.

She was trying to judge whether "beautiful Princess" was just a pick-up line used by playboys.

"I don't know you."

Aurora climbed off the dog, standing guard, her green eyes sharp.

The golden-haired girl's voice was exceptionally beautiful, like the song of a lark, but her bright, sharp eyes made the soldier a little numb.

At this moment, the soldier even doubted again whether the dog had kidnapped the kingdom's Princess.

He believed that a Princess shouldn't have such eyes, at least not as he imagined.

"It doesn't matter whether she's a real Princess or not," the soldier thought again. "Even if she is a real Princess, she couldn't be more charming than the girl in front of me."

The moment he saw the golden-haired girl, he had hopelessly fallen in love with her.

"Who are you? Why did you bring me here?"

Aurora looked around, confirming that she was in a hotel in the Royal Capital.

Unfortunately, because she was captured while sleeping, her personal sword and armor were not with her... She could fight with her fists and feet, but it wasn't very convenient, and she couldn't guarantee that she could take down a Lion or a tiger in one go...

Aurora's eyes moved rapidly, landing on the sword hanging on the wall.

She didn't know that it was the very sword that had pierced Grandma Rosa's chest.

The soldier noticed Aurora's eyes wandering around the room, his heart pounding, almost jumping out of his chest.

"Oh, she is such a beautiful girl, even the act of curiously looking around is breathtaking!"

"She is curiously looking at my room, the most luxurious room in the hotel!"

"If she is really a Princess, I wonder how this place compares to the palace where she used to live?"

"Even if it can't compare, this is a brand new place. For Princess, this must be very fresh..."

The soldier thought happily.

He stood up straight, ready to play the role of an excellent mentor, trying to make his tone and posture look like a true gentleman.

As early as when he ordered the dog to capture the Princess, the soldier had prepared for the Princess to wake up from her dream, and had thought about what he should talk to the Princess about! "Beautiful girl. I want to tell you a secret, this kingdom will be destroyed in at most six or seven years.

"A terrible disaster will come in a few years, and then, whether it is the King and Queen, or the glorious princes and nobles, or the farmers in the fields, will die! "And I am the hero who will save you! "My dog has magical powers that can protect us. We can leave this kingdom together, and then hold a grand wedding in another kingdom!"

In the empty room next to the hotel.

Rhine, holding a Silver Mirror and observing the room next door through divination magic, was slightly surprised after hearing the soldier's words.

"I didn't expect him to talk about this."

This was a plot that did not appear in the original fairy tale.

Without a doubt, the "disaster that will destroy the kingdom" the soldier spoke of was the curse cast by the Black Witch Maleficent.

This news should have been suppressed, yet he knew this secret.

Sure enough, in this mixed magical world, after my intervention influenced fate, many details would change, and one cannot absolutely rely on a transmigrator's knowledge of the future... Rhine reined in his thoughts and continued to watch the scene in the Silver Mirror.

... Obviously, Rhine was not captured by the "traffickers."

After Grandma Rosa was injured, Rhine guessed that the soldier would send the dogs to the Royal Capital to capture the Princess, just like in the original story.

To this end, Rhine quietly contacted the King, prepared the defenses of the Royal Capital, and prepared to wait for the rabbit to recover The Tinderbox.

The amazing thing was that the dogs summoned by The Tinderbox actually had some kind of strange perception, discovering that the "real Princess" was not in the palace, but had run to the Small Town outside the Royal Capital and taken Aurora away.

Aurora herself didn't even know she was a Princess! Of course, Rhine had also considered the possibility of the dogs coming to find the real Aurora and had taken precautions in advance.

At the same time as the dogs kidnapped Aurora, Rhine followed along, all the way to the inn where the soldier lived, observing in secret.

"Of all the Princesses to capture, they had to grab Aurora. How unlucky..."

Rhine looked at the arrogant soldier in the mirror, trying to suppress his laughter.

He and Grandma Rosa had confirmed that the magical creatures summoned by The Tinderbox were indeed monsters to ordinary people.

But in front of this Invulnerable to blades Princess, who possessed strange strength, they were no different from little Chihuahuas!
