“It’s not like that! It’s not like that at all! I’m not some clingy princess who likes to act spoiled!”
Xia Yi shouted.
She felt utterly, bitterly wronged.
However, Lucia, standing beside her, spoke again, delivering another critical blow.
“Your Highness, are you… introducing yourself?”
“What?”
“Because in everyone’s eyes, Your Highness, you are exactly like that. The person you love the most is Her Majesty the Queen. You try every day to cling to Her Majesty and act spoiled.” Lucia stated.
“Woo woo…!!”
Xia Yi collapsed, her spirit suffering a violent impact, almost fainting on the spot.
“Lucia, are you trying to make Her Highness die of anger?!”
Serra hurriedly helped Xia Yi up.
“How could you just blurt out all the truth like that?”
“Ah!!”
Xia Yi almost felt like spitting blood, mercilessly pursued by Serra’s remark.
What is with this pair of red dragon maid sisters?
Did she owe them something in a past life?
Why do they keep hurting her like this…
“Your Highness, calm down, calm down.”
Serra gently patted Xia Yi’s back to soothe her.
It took a good while before she barely recovered.
“Let me reiterate. Last night, when I went to find Xia Lulu, it was not because I wanted to sleep with her!”
Xia Yi explained seriously to Serra and Lucia.
“I encountered a Succubus who kept pestering me, wanting to enter my dreams and do bad things to me. I had no other choice, that’s why I went to Xia Lulu for help! Understand? I was forced, with no alternative!”
“I see. Your Highness is…”
Lucia seemed about to say something again.
However, Serra quickly covered her mouth.
“Lucia, say less!”
“……” Lucia looked somewhat helpless but kept quiet.
“Mhmm, mhmm. Your Highness, we completely understand your predicament now. It seems everyone misunderstood you. In truth, you are not a child, and you wouldn’t casually go to Her Majesty to act spoiled. You are already a mature and reliable adult. It was just because a Succubus was secretly causing trouble, forcing you to make such a choice in an urgent situation, right?” Serra said. “It’s just that, from the perspective of others unaware of the truth, it was mistaken for a different situation.”
“Serra, you understand me so well!!”
Xia Yi was deeply moved.
As expected, Serra was still the reliable one, able to grasp the complex situation instantly.
“Serra, since that’s the case, you must help me explain things clearly to everyone! Let the truth be revealed to the world and rebuild my authority!”
“Your Highness, I actually don’t advise doing that.”
“Why?”
“Think about it. You just established such achievements in the Anti-Vampire Clan War and returned to the Dragon Royal Palace. Yet, you were driven to such a state by a mere minor demon. The contrast is a bit too stark,” Serra explained. “Although Succubus are indeed a rare race, for you, the future Dragon King, heir to the Dragon Kingdom, the authoritative master who ended the Anti-Vampire Clan War, to be played around by a Succubus… wouldn’t that be somewhat disillusioning?”
“This, this…”
Xia Yi thought it over carefully. It seemed true.
People would probably laugh at her even more!
“You don’t need to do anything. Maintaining the status quo is better. Although it seems everyone overlooks your authority, it’s actually just overshadowed by your… cuteness. The authority still exists. But if everyone learns you were toyed with by a Succubus, causing your authority to suffer damage, that’s a different matter. Your reputation would be greatly affected.”
“You’re right! That’s exactly it!”
Xia Yi hit her small palm with her fist, having a sudden realization.
Thankfully, Serra helped analyze it clearly. Otherwise, in a moment of impulse, if she had clarified everything, it would have severely damaged her image instead.
“Hmm, then let it be. Serra, no need to clarify anything. Let people think whatever they want!”
“Very well, Your Highness. You truly are wise and understanding!” Serra nodded with a smile.
“Serra, thank goodness you’re here. I almost made a huge mistake!” Xia Yi laughed.
“You flatter me, Your Highness. Sharing your worries is my duty.”
“……”
Lucia, watching from the side, was simply astonished.
Could things really be handled this way?
……
“Ahhh, I’m full~”
After finishing breakfast, Xia Yi returned to her room.
The first thing she did was throw herself onto the bed.
Though doing so didn’t quite conform to etiquette, there was no one else here, so she didn’t need to be so restrained.
“Being full makes me sleepy. Should I take a little nap?”
The little princess yawned.
Now it is different from before. This period was her vacation, no classes, no homework.
Every day, she could do whatever she felt like.
Playing with pets, shopping, reading comics, eating snacks… anything!
She hugged her little dragon pillow and rolled around on the bed several times.
Suddenly, she remembered something.
“Oh, right. Shouldn’t I… do a little training?”
Xia Yi remembered she was a Sword Saint.
Generally speaking, a Sword Saint definitely needs to practice swordsmanship, right?
It’s just…
“I’m a bit sleepy. I’ll think about it after I wake up~ Hehe. After waking up, it’ll be time for lunch! After lunch, I’ll read some comics, then it’s afternoon tea time! After afternoon tea, I’ll go to the back garden and play with the little animals for a while, and then it’ll be evening. In the evening, I can eat again…”
Xia Yi murmured, closing her eyes, slowly drifting off to sleep.
Just then, she felt a slight stinging sensation on the back of her hand.
This feeling was…
The Holy Sword Sigil!
It startled Xia Yi into jumping up.
“Ah, ah… I… that’s not it!!”
Xia Yi hurriedly explained to her old companion.
“Gram, I haven’t forgotten my original intentions as a Holy Sword Wielder for a single moment! Ever since I regained my memories, the Dragon Clan has attempted to use sugar-coated bullets to corrupt my heart. However, I recognized this conspiracy and actively resisted this erosion, using it to temper my unyielding Sword Heart! I’m not indulging in enjoyment, I’m using this as a trial for my cultivation!”
The Holy Sword Sigil continued to flicker incessantly, as if interrogating Xia Yi.
This made the silver-haired girl very flustered, almost unable to save face.
Lately, her great undertaking of resisting the Dragon Clan had indeed been somewhat neglected. It was time to put it back on the agenda.
She stood up, her gaze gradually growing firm.
“Old friend, you don’t believe me? Fine! Then I’ll prove it to you with practical action! The noble, unyielding soul of the Sword Saint still shines!”
