"Not long ago, just now."
The man's careless and lazy attitude successfully angered Sophie.
She flicked her fingertips and cast a lightning spell.
It was clearly a sneak attack, but it was a lonely attack.
Hall easily avoided every lightning bolt, but the stupid dragon was electrocuted and became burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
"That's pretty ruthless."
Hall chuckled and pulled the corner of his mouth, then cast a healing spell on the howling dragon.
Almost in an instant, the wounds on the dragon's body that were originally cracked and emitting black smoke were restored to their original state.
What a powerful healing spell!
Sophie sighed inwardly, and the dragon bared its fangs and roared at her.
"Okay, Xiao Ai, forgive her, she didn't mean it."
Hall stopped it in time and patted its head gently to comfort it.
"Wait, what did you just call it?"
The long-lost name made Sophie suddenly feel dazed.
"Little love, lovely love. Don't you think it looks very cute?"
Hall explained the origin of the dragon's name with a serious look on his face.
Sophie turned her head and took a closer look at the grinning giant creature beside her, finding it hard to agree.
Sure enough, there are huge differences between men and women in both thinking and aesthetics.
"Okay, Xiao Ai, right? Then may I ask, Your Highness, why did you send your beloved pet, Xiao Ai, to openly kidnap a princess?"
Sophie went straight to the point and started asking questions.
"I didn't ask Xiao Ai to kidnap a princess."
Hall denied it out loud without hesitation.
Damn, you dare to do it but not take responsibility?
Sophie almost couldn't help rolling her eyes.
"I let Xiao Ai take her away, but she is the only princess of Hol Aros."
The man's serious words suddenly entered Sophie's ears.
Um???
What does this mean?
Sophie was full of questions.
Damn, you are trying to change the concept.
"If I remember correctly, in the eyes of everyone, I, the only princess of Hall's Aros, have already died at the hands of a dragon, right?"
Sophie gritted her teeth and kindly reminded him to face the facts.
Hall shook his head and smiled, then his expression became slightly stern.
"I know you're confused about my previous actions, but now is not the time to explain. Aren't you curious about the truth behind the ban on magic a hundred years ago?"
The truth behind why magic was banned a hundred years ago?
Sophie's eyes flickered when she heard this.
His flashing eyes met Hall's in the air.
"A hundred years ago, magic flourished in the world. Legend has it that nobles, eager to seize the magic for themselves, plundered and killed people at will. Eventually, King Zeus, determined to protect the turbulent world, strictly banned all magic, and peace returned to the world. This is the version of the story you're familiar with, right?"
Hall spoke seriously, and Sophie nodded and asked questions.
"Is there something else hidden in this?"
She has spent most of the past 18 years living in hiding.
Just because she is a descendant of a witch, she is born with magic that is forbidden by the world.
Even after she finally settled down in the Moonlight Forest, Liya wanted to wipe her out from the world in the name of eliminating harm for the people...
"That's right, things are not as simple as the legend says."
Hall's sudden seriousness made Sophie's heart sink.
"A hundred years ago, magic was indeed prevalent in the world. However, the nobles didn't want to monopolize magic and slaughter people wantonly. Rather, those people were unable to master the powerful magic, and eventually it backfired, losing their minds and becoming bloodthirsty and ruthless monsters. To control the situation, King Zeus ordered the ban of all magic and summoned witches to seal them with magic circles..."
"If that's the case, why are you telling me this? Isn't this a secret among you nobles?"
Sophie raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Because you are the only witch left in the world."
