Volume 4 Chapter 60

Volume 4 + Chapter 60: Don’t Forget

When Xia Yi heard Xia Lulu’s words, she felt a turn of events was possible.

Could it be that someone could help her defeat Elizabeth?

She was still very curious. Who in the Dragon Kingdom had such capability?

In her impression, the two strongest individuals in the Dragon Clan were Dorothea and Xia Lulu.

One was an immortal golden dragon who had lived for who knows how many years, the other was the Silver Dragon Queen who ruled the Dragon Clan.

But Xia Lulu had ruled out both of them, making Xia Yi increasingly curious.

“Xia Lulu, if the person who can help me isn’t you, and isn’t Dorothea, then who on earth is it?”

“Don’t be impatient, daughter,” Xia Lulu said.

Impatient impatient impatient!

“Tell me, tell me now!” Xia Yi is completely worked up now.

“This person is—”

Xia Lulu deliberately drew out the words.

Xia Yi mustered every ounce of her attention, focusing intently, only to hear an answer that shattered her composure.

“You’ll find out tomorrow,” Xia Lulu stated.

“What?” Xia Yi was furious. “Xia Lulu, are you just messing with me?!”

“Not at all. Don’t be so impatient, daughter. I’ll arrange it for you tomorrow, you’ll go meet that mysterious person then,” Xia Lulu explained. “That person isn’t anyone you know, but their understanding of vampires surpasses that of anyone in our Dragon Clan.”

Xia Yi understood.

Xia Lulu was deliberately being cryptic.

It’s too much! People who love to keep one in suspense are the worst!

“I’ll believe you for now, Xia Lulu,” Xia Yi said. “I hope this mysterious person you speak of can help me teach that bad woman a lesson.”

“Indeed. The Vampires have grown so audacious, truly having no sense of their place. They certainly deserve to be taught a lesson. So what if she’s the Vampire Progenitor? She’s just an old thing who should have stayed dead, doesn’t belong to this era. She shouldn’t have been revived.”

Xia Lulu’s words were also merciless, which pleased Xia Yi greatly.

Actually, aside from matters concerning Elizabeth, Xia Yi had come to Xia Lulu to discuss one more thing.

“Xia Lulu, I have now returned from completing the task you assigned me in the Crimson Empire.”

Xia Yi hugged her stuffed teddy bear and emphasized:

“Don’t forget the promise you made me before I left.”

“Of course I haven’t forgotten. But I also need to assess your specific performance during the coronation ceremony.”

“My entrance stunned all the High Species attending the coronation! Their first reaction was to mistake me for the Silver Dragon Queen! They could only stand by nervously observing me, not even daring to approach me for conversation!”

Xia Yi was very proud about this point and even proactively moved closer to Xia Lulu.

“Through my flawless etiquette and responses, I displayed the majesty of the Dragon Royal Family! I made everyone remember that I am the one and only Silver Dragon Princess, Xia Yi! My very existence has made many High Races feel a huge threat! They… already regard me as an enemy!”

The little princess kept emphasizing this while casting an expectant look at Xia Lulu, as if begging for praise.

“Mhmm, mhmm, as expected, my daughter is the most amazing. Truly a perfect Dragon Princess.”

Seeing her daughter in this state, Xia Lulu couldn’t help but smile, reaching out to stroke Xia Yi’s head and rub her ahoge.

“Hmph! Don’t look at me or talk to me like that! How dare you coax me like a child?”

Although Xia Yi verbally refuted and resisted Xia Lulu’s praise, the happiness was written all over her face, and her tail started wagging behind her.

A classic case of tsundere – saying one thing but meaning the opposite.

“I only put in all that effort for the sake of my allowance, you know? If it weren’t for the allowance, who would do those things for you… Oh, right, and for repealing the Bitter Melon Act!”

“Daughter, I keep my promises too. Your allowance will be restored to normal. The Bitter Melon Act imposed on you is also rescinded. You can enjoy afternoon tea normally again. Oh, and the confiscated manga—I’ve had Lucia put them all back. You should see them when you return to your room later.”

After hearing Xia Lulu’s explanation, Xia Yi felt like she was about to float.

Yesss!!

She could return to her normal, leisurely life!!

Having been tormented by the Bitter Melon Act for so long, Xia Yi could finally be free.

“However, daughter, next time don’t shoot your mouth off recklessly about governance matters,” Xia Lulu said, pinching Xia Yi’s cheek.

“I… I won’t! I won’t act recklessly in the future…”

Intimidated by the power of the Bitter Melon Act, Xia Yi chickened out here and readily agreed.

But what she thought in her heart was—acknowledge the mistake but refuse to change.

Hmph! One day in the future, I will definitely implement the Osmanthus Cake Act, Xia Lulu! I’ll infuriate you then!

“Daughter, go rest. You must be tired after such a draining battle in the Crimson Empire?”

“Okay, Mother, good night~”

Because she was in such a good mood, Xia Yi inadvertently used the respectful title and even obediently bowed.

When she realized what she’d done, her face began to blush.

“Ahem! That was just a slip of the tongue!!”

With those words, Xia Yi scampered away.

Watching her daughter leave, waiting until the room fell quiet again, Xia Lulu’s gaze gradually grew complicated.

“A new era is finally about to gradually lift its curtain… How much longer can I hold on?”

…

“Allowance~ allowance~”

Xia Yi sat on her bed, scattering the newly acquired coins of her allowance.

Although the amount wasn’t too extravagant, it was hard-earned.

“Ribbit Frog, let me fill you up~ Hehehe~”

Xia Yi began stuffing coins into the Ribbit Frog wallet. Watching the flat frog’s belly slowly expand brought her an immense sense of satisfaction.

“Congratulations, Your Highness, on the punishment ending. I am truly from the bottom of my heart happy for you,” Serra offered her congratulations.

“This trip to the Crimson Empire, being able to return safely—you have merit too, Serra. I’ll reward you later!” Xia Yi said.

“Your Highness having such a thought already makes me very happy,” Serra replied, then reminded her, “However, you should rest early.”

“Oh right, there are things to do tomorrow.”

Xia Yi remembered she still had to go meet the mysterious person Xia Lulu mentioned tomorrow.

She glanced somewhat regretfully at the manga, thinking she’d have to wait until after that business was concluded to read them.

“Well then, that’s it, Serra. I’m going to rest now.”

…

Nighttime, in Xia Yi’s room. Everything was quiet. The silver-haired loli lay in bed, deep in a dream.

“Xia Yiyi, don’t… forget…”

Suddenly, Xia Yi heard a faint, indistinct voice.

The little princess instinctively sat up in bed, opening her sleepy eyes, and murmured, “That voice just now… was it… Miu Miu?”
