Chapter 12

Chiki?"

Alice went straight to Chiki, who was under a big tree and had a small wound. The beautiful-faced woman looked at Alice.

"I'm fine, Alice. It's just a small wound, and it will heal soon."

She channeled some of her energy to Chiki so that the healing period of the wound could be resolved. And sure enough, because of Alice's power, the burn on Chiki's hand had disappeared.

"Alice, thank you." Chiki immediately hugged Alice tightly.

Now, the situation was getting better, and the people in the Vestinel region were helping each other to clean up the destroyed items. The magical plants that had been burned made Elena sad.

"Can't these plants be restored?" Alice approached Elena and asked.

"It's not possible, Alice."

She felt guilty for the people of the Vestinel region. It was because she was here that Maxwell and the Estonian Royal Army were able to come here and look for her. It might be good if she could leave here and not provoke any more trouble.

"Alice, what are you thinking about?" Sandy broke Alice's reverie.

Sandy was already beside her and had surprised her. Elena told her to get some rest with Chiki. Sandy led her to the room.

"Get some rest. You and Chiki must be tired." Sandy said it with a sweet smile.

"Yes, Sandy. Thank you. You should rest too."

She and Chiki were already in the room. They lay down on the bed. Chiki was still a beautiful human.

"Alice, go to sleep! Your strength must have been drained a lot from the fight against the prince of the Estonian Kingdom earlier." Chiki told her to rest.

However, Alice was still thinking about Maxwell. How could they find her whereabouts this quickly? Chiki repeatedly tugged at her hand to go to sleep.

"Alright, let's sleep together."

Maxwell walked staggeringly as his strength was drained. Arriving at the royal palace, he was greeted by King Charles and Queen Amber. They were a little surprised to see him in such a messy state.

"What happened to you? Why is it like this?" King Charles looked at his son, who had just arrived with a slightly blue face.

"It's all because of you, Alice! She and I have been fighting. And my strength was drained because of her."

Up until now, Maxwell had not been able to cast his fire move because the poison was still in his body. The effect of the poison was undeniable. King Charles was furious. Queen Amber, who was always by his side, tried to calm him down.

"You lost to that, Princess Alice?" King Charles released the power of fire in his palm.

"I'm sorry, Dad. I still can't bring her to our palace. She is stronger now, and her strength is different from before." Maxwell kneeled before his father and mother.

"Nonsense! I can't believe she's that powerful!" King Charles attacked Maxwell with a fire move because he was too emotional.

"My king, what are you doing? He is our only son." Queen Amber warned King Charles not to cross the line.

Maxwell, who had just arrived at the palace, immediately informed his father and mother about Alice's whereabouts. Alice was now in Vestinel's territory. Hearing all that, King Charles became even angrier and cursed Maxwell for being useless at carrying out orders.

"Right now, I'm also exposed to poison, Dad, so I can't bring out my fire move." Maxwell was still kneeling before his father and mother, hoping to get the antidote for the poison.

King Charles thought of a way to avenge Alice's treatment of Maxwell. They wanted to act as quickly as possible and capture the princess of the Goldenia Kingdom.

"We must avenge Princess Alice's actions. But we have to think of a plan that can really work."

Maxwell would never forget what Alice had done to him. They would take revenge. Alice was very afraid that her father, King Arthur, was in danger. He had an evil plan to use King Arthur to bring Alice here.

"Dad, what if we use King Arthur to take revenge on Alice? I'm sure she'll be terrified if anything happens to her father," Maxwell said with a sly thought.

"You're absolutely right, my son. We'll be there soon. We must really think of a plan so that we don't fail again against her. We'll have a big war with them!" King Charles took out a fire stance, then shot in all directions.

His parents agreed to delay heading to Vestinel territory first. Maxwell simply complied with their words.

After that, King Charles summoned a bodyguard into his presence. King Charles asked the squire to summon the palace physician to treat Maxwell.

"You rest. Soon there will be a palace physician to treat you," King Charles said as he walked away from Maxwell's presence.

"Thank you, Dad."

Alice suddenly woke up and felt like just leaving this Vestinel territory. She glanced at Chiki, who was fast asleep. She slowly got off the bed. Her two feet stepped outside the room. Alice came outside and looked around. The burned magical plants were no longer alive.

"Did I bring bad luck to the people of Vestinel? They are all completely innocent, and it is only because of my existence that they are harmed." Alice deeply felt guilty for the people of the Vestinel region.

Her decision was irreversible, and she would leave here right now. Leaving Sandy, Chiki, Elena, and the others behind. This Vestinel territory had already given her a happy life. She did not want the Vestinel region to be further destroyed because of her.

"Maxwell and his troops have managed to find me and get to this place. If I'm still here, they could all be doomed."

She looked back briefly, as she wanted to see her home for the last time. She could not be in the same bed with Chiki anymore. I couldn't see Sandy's handsome face again after this. There were so many moments that made her happy here. However, Alice had to make a sacrifice.

After a few steps of walking, someone suddenly pulled her hand from behind. Alice was surprised when she came face-to-face with that person, and his face looked angry.
