Volume 2 + Chapter 148: Still So Tsundere
Originally, Xia Yi was quite grateful for Serra’s intervention here.
But, Serra just had to say something unnecessary when there was no need to.
She whispered beside Xia Yi, “Princess, you must be eager to go and act spoiled with Her Majesty, right?”
Upon hearing this, Xia Yi’s cheeks instantly flushed red, and she immediately retorted.
“Wh-What nonsense are you spouting, Serra? That’s impossible! I would never do something so childish, it doesn’t fit me at all!!”
“Really?” Serra blinked. “Aren’t you in such a hurry to return because you want to see the Queen as soon as possible?”
“Th-This… I have a reason for rushing back, it’s, it’s…”
Xia Yi hesitated for a moment, then suddenly thought of the perfect excuse.
“It’s because I want to quickly see the little animals in the back garden!!”
“Oh? Is that so, Princess?” Serra deliberately drew out her voice.
“Yes, that’s right,” Xia Yi hurriedly explained, “I don’t care about Xia Lulu at all! Compared to her, my garden mice are more important! I’m only thinking about my mice!”
“So that’s how it is?” Serra was already trying not to laugh seeing her princess’s defensive look.
“Hmph, Serra, you’ve really misjudged me. And even if I do see Xia Lulu, I won’t act spoiled, I must make that clear to you!”
“Really?”
“Of course. This trip to the south was mainly to bring Corolle back under control, prove my abilities and re-establish my absolute royal authority in the Dragon Palace, washing away everyone’s impressions of me! It has nothing to do with Xia Lulu!”
Xia Yi emphasized again and again, “As for acting spoiled, that’s even more of a pipe dream. I’ve never done such a thing before. My relationship with her is very bad, understand? She and I are… like fire and water!”
“But, didn’t you used to always want to sleep together with Her Majesty the Queen-”
“Ahh! That doesn’t count, I actually have deeper reasons and more important goals, you just don’t understand. There’s no point explaining it to you!”
Xia Yi was still so tsundere, refusing to admit it no matter what.
Serra was laughing inside. “Princess, are you really not going to find Her Majesty?”
“I’m not going. If I say I’m not going, then I’m not going.” Xia Yi said firmly.
“Alright then.”
“Serra, you must be tired from just returning too, right?”
“Tired? Not at all. Accompanying Princess is never tiring.”
“No, you’re… tired! Serra, you should go rest. You’ve made great contributions in this trip to the southern border! You go rest now! If you run into any other dragons, remember to describe clearly how handsome I was in Corolle!”
“But…”
“No buts! Serra, go rest quickly! You don’t need to take care of me today, or else others will say I’m a black-hearted dragon exploiting you! This is… an order!” Xia Yi’s attitude suddenly turned stern.
Serra understood what the Princess wanted to do, so she tactfully chose to obey.
“Understood, Princess.”
…
In the Royal Maid Corps’ break room.
“You’re back, Serra.”
Lucia’s expressionless face still didn’t change much upon seeing her younger sister.
“Yes, Sister.”
Serra started changing clothes, getting ready to get off work. She unbuttoned her maid uniform, revealing her perfect voluptuous figure.
“How is Father now?”
“Still the same old ghost, living in debauchery, it makes my blood pressure rise… If it weren’t for the Princess being there, I’m afraid I would have accidentally beaten him to death.”
“He didn’t die?” Lucia was surprised.
“Yeah, not only did Father not die, he even became the mayor of Corolle.”
“?”
Lucia was puzzled.
“The new nobles were all toppled, and they needed a dragon with prestige and a certain level of power to take the position of Corolle’s mayor… Father managed to scrape by. The dragons of Corolle thought his slacking off was just an act, and he coincidentally contributed quite a bit in the battle to overthrow the new nobles, putting on a show. Plus, Princess had no objections, so he became the mayor. The people of Corolle are quite welcoming of him.” Serra explained.
After hearing this, Lucia was very speechless. She was very clear on what kind of person her father was. She never thought he could turn things around like this?
She couldn’t help but hold her head, feeling a headache coming on.
“Fortunately, it was the Princess who allowed him to become Corolle’s mayor. Father must work hard now, or he won’t have good days ahead.”
Serra took off the semi-transparent black thigh-high stockings from her smooth, delicate skin.
“I can only say it’s good that you didn’t go back to Corolle… You definitely would have beaten Father to death before he could become mayor.”
Lucia really didn’t want to talk more about this eccentric father, so she changed the topic. “How are Tiezhu and the others doing now?”
“He’s called Chen Tie now, and he’s become the leader of the Cangqing Gang. He’s been working hard to support the gang. The Cangqing Gang and Hechi Gang later became top gangs in Corolle.”
Serra put her maid uniform and stockings together into the wardrobe and took out her casual clothes.
“But that’s all in the past now. In the battle to overthrow the new nobles, the Hechi Gang and Cangqing Gang contributed quite a bit. Most of their members have now been incorporated into the armed forces of the new organization, with official posts.”
“That’s good then.”
Lucia felt somewhat relieved, it seems not everything in Corolle was infuriating.
“Let’s go back together and have a drink tonight.” Serra had finished changing.
“Drink? Are you sure?” Lucia said, “You never could hold your liquor as well as me.”
“Heh, don’t distort history here. Clearly, you’re the one who can’t compare to me…”
…
Knock knock knock.
Xia Yi knocked on the door of Xia Lulu’s office, then pushed it open and walked in.
“Xia Lulu, I’m back!”
But there was no one inside. She didn’t see Xia Lulu.
This puzzled Xia Yi.
So she went to Xia Lulu’s bedroom, only to find that Xia Lulu was not there either.
“What’s going on!? Xia Lulu knew I was coming back today, all this was notified in advance, not coming to meet me is one thing, but why can’t I find her anywhere?”
Xia Yi started feeling a bit unhappy. She walked alone through the corridors of the Dragon Palace, fuming.
“And to think I wanted to…”
Just as the little princess was muttering complaints, a familiar voice sounded from behind her.
“Who’s the one that keeps thinking about me?”
