“Hmph, just you wait, bat!”
“No, you wait, fox!”
Because they couldn’t stand each other, after their argument, Miu Miu and Yue Liu exchanged a final sharp remark before parting on unpleasant terms.
Watching from the side, Xia Yi found it rather odd. Did the little fox and the flying mouse know each other from before and already had a grudge?
She couldn’t figure it out.
“Serra, what did you mean earlier when you said I was a ‘sinner’?”
Xia Yi was quite puzzled and looked at her personal maid.
“Did I do something bad?”
“Your Highness, do you remember a statement I once made to you?” Serra asked.
“Which statement?”
“That you possess considerable charm, exerting a strong attraction on both the opposite and the same sex.”
“Hmm… I’m not sure I fully understand.”
Xia Yi couldn’t figure out where her charm lay for the little fox and the flying mouse. Could it be that…
I’ve got it!!
The little princess had a sudden realization.
“I understand now, Serra! Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
“Oh? You’ve grasped it?”
“Of course, Serra. What you meant to say was, “
Xia Yi paused, looking quite pleased with herself.
“My swordsmanship is exceptionally outstanding, right?!”
“……”
Serra fell silent.
“The little fox is a swordsman. She was once defeated by my swordsmanship, so she’s always held onto that, constantly calling me her ‘fated rival’ or something, wanting to challenge me again!” Xia Yi analyzed calmly. “I also displayed my formidable strength through swordsmanship in front of Miu Miu, even defeating the Vampire Ancestor! Through swordsmanship, I proved my power, which utterly astonished Miu Miu!”
Serra was taken aback.
Following Xia Yi’s logic, it almost seemed plausible.
“As expected of you, Your Highness,” Serra said.
A thousand words ultimately condensed into these eight.
“Hehehe, after all, reaching the pinnacle of swordsmanship is a goal I have never wavered from!” Xia Yi declared. “Any formidable foe who tries to block my path, I shall defeat!”
“Your Highness, shall we depart now?” Serra glanced around. “The other nations have all left one after another.”
“Yes, let’s go. Everything is settled, time to head back~” Xia Yi agreed.
Afterwards, Serra revealed her true dragon form, transforming into a red dragon. She let her little princess climb onto her back, then flapped her wings and soared into the sky.
Watching the departing figure of the red dragon, representatives of various races harbored different thoughts.
“Is the Dragon Clan no longer content to lie low and planning to make its move?” the Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor mused. “Fortunately, preparations were made long in advance.”
“Father Emperor, the Dragon Clan is already stirring. Our Fox Clan must also prepare to meet the challenge! I must… settle the score with my fated rival!!” The little fox’s words were filled with determination.
“Yue Liu, your performance during this war was quite commendable, exceeding my initial expectations.”
The Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor looked at his daughter.
“You’ve already begun to stand on your own, leading armies into battle and achieving results.”
“It is due to Father Emperor’s excellent guidance!”
“Perhaps…”
A premonition arose in the Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor’s heart, the future stage would belong to the younger generation.
Young rulers were gradually stepping onto the stage, even capable of influencing the course of this continent.
He couldn’t help but sigh, “The times are changing.”
However, not all national representatives shared the Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor’s sentiment.
“General, the Dragon Clan was far too arrogant this time! They’ve clearly provoked public outrage!”
An Elven officer attending the International Tribunal spoke indignantly to Kennedy.
“The Dragon Clan’s domineering actions have ignited the anger of many nations!”
“I noticed. Those dissatisfied are not limited to us,” Kennedy nodded.
“General, we can seize this opportunity to reawaken all races’ suspicion and fear of the Dragon Clan. In this way, we can unite everyone and form a brand new alliance!” the Elven officer proposed. “Then we can contend with the Dragon Clan!”
“……”
Kennedy fell silent, not answering immediately.
He knew this was indeed an opportune moment, but there was one crucial problem.
It didn’t lie with the Dragon Clan, nor with the other races, but rather,
The Elven Clan itself.
Any major decision of the Elven Clan required approval from the Elven Royal Family. Ultimately, if the Elven King said no, it was no, there was no way around it.
Under the supervision of the Elven Royal Family, Kennedy, as a general of the Elven Clan, had always been constrained at every turn.
Even if the Elven King agreed to form an Anti-Dragon Clan Alliance, it was uncertain whether Kennedy could be appointed as the executor.
After all, due to his actions in the Anti-Vampire Clan war, Kennedy had already aroused suspicion within the Elven Clan.
Through his channels, he had learned that many had petitioned the Elven King to impeach him. The Elven King’s attitude also seemed somewhat ambiguous, no longer trusting him as before.
Not to mention that foolish, useless princess, Eve, the heir to the Elven Royal Family. Not only was she incompetent and more trouble than she was worth, but she also leaned towards the Dragon Clan, their enemy. To think someone like that would be the future heir to the Elven Royal Family…
Kennedy’s gaze turned sharp.
The Elven Clan indeed needed some reform. To have a glorious future, the rot must be cleansed from within, from the very roots.
……
Dragon Kingdom, Dragon Royal Palace.
“Ehehe~”
Xia Yi jumped onto the bed and hugged her little dragon pillow.
Having been away from home for a while, she had felt lonely without her little dragon pillow’s company.
“After being busy for so long, I finally got a vacation!!”
The silver-haired little girl hugged her little dragon pillow and rolled around on the bed.
Due to her outstanding performance in the Anti-Vampire Clan war, Xia Lulu had granted Xia Yi a special period of leave. During this break, she could indulge to her heart’s content.
“Snacks, manga, desserts, seems like I haven’t enjoyed…”
Xia Yi was about to say she hadn’t enjoyed them in a while.
But then she remembered, during her time in the Vampire Clan palace, it seemed she had been…
Well.
Never mind!
Don’t sweat the details.
“Anyway, I want it all!!”
She indulged herself in her room, outright doing mischief, eating snacks on the bed and even drinking happy soda for lazy homebodies!
“Ah-ha~”
Feeling satisfied, Xia Yi grew a bit drowsy. Time for a little nap.
She pushed the still-unopened manga book aside, grabbed her little dragon pillow, and collapsed onto the pillow, falling asleep.
In her hazy state, she heard a familiar voice.
“Little silver dragon, have you forgotten something?”
