I'm becoming the Princess?
Chapter 41

The gate melted in an instant, as the magic fire of the imperial family was renowned as the hottest of all known flames. They began to walk into the courtyard of the house, and sure enough everything was different from what they had seen earlier. The door is really locked very tightly, even they also put a chain.

“Actually what's inside here until they lock it so heartily like this?” Ask Arin through a telepathy.

Zeria was also confused, was it something that was extremely precious? Or something dangerous? “Entah, we will not know until we see it ourselves” Now Zeria is sure that this is the reality, because Arin can telepath with him.

Lucas and Eric look for ways to open the chains and lock the locked doors many times, while Arin and Zeria just watch without doing anything. Well how else, because Zeria can not use his magic and Arin also should not be discovered if he can use magic, because all Lucas knows Arin is a commoner, Arin is a commoner, and ordinary people cannot use magic.

After a few minutes of compartmentalizing their chains, they finally gave up. The padlock is protected by magic, they can't use magic to open it. The only way to open it is manually, using the key.

“Cannot. We have to find the key, the lock cannot be destroyed or opened with magic.” Lucas stood up and was about to find another entrance.

As Lucas turned around, Arin came forward and approached the door. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the wire, “Tenakan, leave it to me” Arin bent a little wire and started to put it in the keyhole. Looks like he tried to break the lock.

“Are you sure that it works?” Ask Eric.

“Already, just shut up.” Arin keeps packing his padlock, up to ‘Ceklek’ “Oh! Look, it worked, didn't it?” The padlock is completely open.

“Hooo” Zeria gives a round of applause with Lucas, “Accapidly opened, terrific”

“Hehe, don't underestimate my ability” Arin smiled proudly.

“Then, now open another 4 padlocks” Zeria said with a smile.

Arin was surprised, as he had to open everything by himself. But yeah how else, because only he can open it. And without complaining, Arin opened all the locks by taking only 20 minutes. “Ahh, tiredness” Arin immediately sitting limp.

“You've worked hard” Zeria pats Arin on the shoulder, a sign that he's proud of her.

Lucas, along with Eric, opened the door, and now the inside of the house was the real thing. Where dust, walls that begin to disintegrate, moss growth and some displays that are even shapeless.

It was a mess, they thought. It is certain that the house is uninhabited. But Zeria was curious about one thing, the room upstairs that she wanted to enter while still in an illusion, the room at the end of the corridor that was locked. Without thinking Long, Zeria decided to go straight to check the room followed by Lucas, Eric and Arin.

Nothing changed from the house except the dirty and messy atmosphere. The room at the end of the corridor was right there apparently, but the door was in chains and padlocked like the main door earlier. “There must be a clue inside here” Zeria said.

Without waiting for orders from Zeria, Arin immediately went forward and poked his padlock as he had done earlier. And it turns out that the padlock this time is very easy to open compared to the main door earlier, and it only takes 1 minute to open it.

“It's so easy” said Arin, feeling something was strange.

“True, and also this is so dirty. But why was the door washed?” Eric checked the corner of the room, but there was nothing.

The small room contained only a mattress, a small table, a chair, and a closet that was chained. “Wait, why is the closet chained as well?” Think Zeria. “Arin, try opening his closet” Zeria Command.

Arin quickly approached the closet, but the lock had no keyhole. Then Arin can't do anything. Lucas also tried to open it with magic, but it was useless because it was protected with something anti-magic. “I'm more curious about its contents” Lucas said with his passionate gaze.

“What should we do?” Ask Eric.

“Entahlah, the padlock can not be opened by manual or by magic. It looks like the chain and padlock are permanent and indeed cannot be opened” said Zeria. What's in it until they lock it up like this?

“Don't just give up dong, I wonder what's inside.” Eric said, holding the closet.

Zeria smiled, “When did I say surrender? If we can't open the chain and the lock, we just destroy the closet” Zeria said with a horrible smile on her face. Zeria stuck her ear to the door of the closet to make sure what was inside.

Zeria closed her eyes, trying to focus on what was in the closet. The concentration was so overwhelming that Zeria heard no other sound than the one inside. And ‘srek’ heard a voice from the closet, although maybe it was just a small gesture, but Zeria could hear it. “There's something moving inside!” Zeria immediately kept her ears away from the closet. “Perhaps the height of something moving it is about 45 cm. Brother, crush the closet from above, and leave 60cm the height of this closet calculated from the base”.

“Baik” Lucas pulled out his sword from its sheath and took a square.

The three of them were slightly away because it would be dangerous to get too close to him. Because his closet is protected with an anti-magic object, Lucas was forced to swing his sword without using a little magic. It took several slashes until the closet was destroyed, and in 17 minutes finally the closet could be cut.

Zeria walked over to the clipped cupboard to see what was inside. But what was in the closet was something that Zeria did not expect, namely AZRA.

“AZRA!” Zeria shouted as she saw Azra curled up in the closet with her hands and feet tied and her mouth covered with cloth, and also a body full of blood.

Lucas and Eric immediately lift Azra out of the closet. Azra seemed conscious, but she could not open her eyes, speak or move. Eric cut the rope that tied Azra's hands and feet with his sword, and immediately laid it on the Mattress.

“Why is he here?” Lucas began to panic at seeing Azra under such circumstances, “Can you guys use healing magic?” Ask Lucas. Lucas is a fighter, so he can't use healing magic because it's not in a fight.

Eric shook his head, as he also could not use healing magic. While Arin, actually he can, but if he does then his identity can be found out. And all that was left was Zeria, she had only two choices. Heal Azra and she will get side effects from her magic, or just let Azra and she will be fine.

Of course Eric hoped that Zeria would not use her magic, but what Zeria chose was to heal Azra. “I can, it looks like Azra was given a paralyzing magic so she can't move” Zeria grabbed Azra's hand and started to focus.

And sure enough, the side effects of his magic were instantly felt. His back suddenly hurt, but he held it back and did not respond to any reaction. Slowly Azra began to open her eyes, and she began to be able to move. Zeria could not heal all of her wounds, but she could eliminate the effects of her paralyzing magic.

After Azra started to be able to move, Zeria instantly let go of her hand and stood “Let's go home, Azra”
