Volume 2 + Chapter 151: Enduring Humiliation
In the corner of the corridor, a blue and green duo saw this scene.
They were none other than the official and reserve members of the Royal Maid Corps—Atiya and Elly.
“What is the Princess doing?”
Elly was very surprised to see this scene.
Because it was the first time she had seen the Princess acting coquettishly, constantly sticking to the Queen, her tail wagging non-stop.
Even before, she had only heard that Xia Yi would act coquettishly towards Xia Lulu.
But in fact, she had never witnessed it with her own eyes.
The Princess, who was always so hard-mouthed, actually had such a side!
It was so cute, making people really want to hug her.
She was like a mascot…
No, no.
The Princess is now the hero who suppressed Corolle, not a mascot.
“It turns out to be Queen and Princess,” Atiya was also surprised. “Why did the Princess have such a tough attitude towards the Queen before, always saying that she would definitely surpass the Queen, but why does she show such a fondness in front of the Queen?”
“I don’t quite understand it either?”
Elly didn’t quite understand this change in attitude, it was completely different from the Princess’s usual demeanor.
“The contrast is really huge. It’s hard to imagine that the Princess, who created a legend in Corolle and shone the royal glory on the southern border, such an outstanding existence, would become so soft and cute in front of the Queen.”
“This might be…”
“Senior Atiya, what do you think this is?” Elly asked curiously.
Atiya is from the Blue Dragon clan, and blue dragons are very intelligent among the dragons.
So the wise Atiya began to ponder, letting her thoughts fly far away… from the Dragon Palace to the sky above, breaking free from the shackles of this land, flying towards the vast starry sky, crossing the brilliant galaxy, advancing towards the depths of the universe…
“Senior Atiya, Senior Atiya!!”
Elly shook Atiya’s shoulders, trying to pull her thoughts back.
Atiya blinked and said softly, “I understand.”
“Ah? Understand what?”
“The Princess… actually wants the Queen’s affection, that’s why she’s working so hard!!”
“Really?”
This answer was a bit beyond Elly’s expectations. It didn’t match the Princess’s usual attitude and performance at all.
“Why did you come to this conclusion, Senior Atiya? Isn’t this reason a bit far-fetched?”
“The truth of the universe… told me so.”
Atiya’s eyes were profound, giving a statement of unclear meaning.
“The Princess actually really wants to snuggle with the Queen… That’s why she went to Corolle. It must be so. If you don’t believe me, we can take another look to make sure!”
“Alright.”
Elly and Atiya continued to hide in the corner of the corridor.
Because Xia Yi’s attention was all focused on Xia Lulu, she naturally didn’t notice them. She just wanted to keep snuggling with Xia Lulu.
However, in the corner of Xia Lulu’s eye, she discovered those two members of the Royal Maid Corps. She pondered for a moment, didn’t drive those two away, and instead let them observe in secret. An idea even appeared in her mind.
So, she stopped her hand.
Xia Yi, who was originally enjoying Xia Lulu’s head pats, was a little puzzled. She looked at Xia Lulu and asked shyly, “Why… did you stop?”
“Because I thought of something I don’t quite understand,” Xia Lulu asked. “Why were you working so hard on this trip to the Southern Border, daughter?”
“Ah… this, this is…” Xia Yi started stammering.
“Could it be that you wanted my reward, so you became so motivated?”
“N-No, that’s not it!”
“Oh, so it’s not. If you don’t want it, then forget it. It seems I misunderstood.” Xia Lulu sighed and let go of Xia Yi.
This made the little princess anxious. She immediately hugged Xia Lulu. Right now, she couldn’t care less and just wanted to snuggle with Xia Lulu.
“It, it is… Alright… I guess it is…”
Xia Yi’s voice got smaller and smaller.
“So it really is like this. On the surface, you used other excuses, but in fact, you just wanted to act coquettishly towards me?”
“Uu…”
Xia Yi didn’t deny it. Her head was steaming again.
“Is it not okay?”
“Of course it’s okay, Daughter. Your occasional honesty also makes me very happy.” Xia Lulu smiled.
Seeing all this, Elly was amazed.
Atiya excitedly said, “Did you see that, Junior? The Princess’s actions were actually just to get the Queen’s love!”
“It really is like that.”
“That’s right, the Princess likes the Queen the most!”
In Elly’s mind, the image of Xia Yi as the hero who conquered Corolle gradually weakened… Instead, the image of a cute little dragon acting coquettishly towards her mother was constantly strengthening.
She seemed to understand what she should do.
…
“Ehehe, ehehe—”
The silver-haired loli, after a good session of acting coquettishly, happily returned to her bedroom.
“Wuah!”
Xia Yi jumped onto the bed and hugged her favorite little dragon plushie, feeling spiritual comfort.
Guruguru—
The little silver dragon happily rolled around on the bed.
Suddenly, she felt a stinging pain from her hand and stopped. She found that the Holy Sword Mark was flashing.
It seemed like the Holy Sword was reminding her…
In an instant, Xia Yi’s expression changed drastically. She immediately stood up from the bed.
What had she been doing just now? Why did she act coquettishly towards Xia Lulu and was so happy? Could it be that she had actually…
The flashing frequency of the Holy Sword was like questioning Xia Yi’s soul.
She became more and more embarrassed, her forehead covered in sweat.
After a while, a stiff smile appeared on Xia Yi’s face, and she shouted, “Win!”
The stinging pain from the Holy Sword Mark had not disappeared.
“Hmph, old friend, do you think I’ve already fallen?” Xia Yi wagged her finger. “Wrong! I was…”
“Playing hard to get!”
“Yes, that’s right! That’s how it is. I did it on purpose. I didn’t enjoy being patted on the head and praised by Xia Lulu. For me, this was actually—humiliation!”
The Holy Sword’s mark was still flashing.
“Don’t be impatient, old friend. Think about it. If my attitude was too strong… then my great goal of secretly accumulating power to defeat her would be doomed, right? It was all just an act, by enduring this humiliation and pretending to have already fallen, admitting that I wanted praise, I can lower the Silver Dragon Queen’s guard and make her careless. In the future, she won’t specifically guard against my actions!”
“You see, isn’t it like this? In the future, when I say I want to defeat her, Xia Lulu won’t take it seriously either! Doesn’t this count as my win? This move is called openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing the Wei River!” Xia Yi explained.
The Holy Sword Mark stopped flickering.
Santamaria
How did the sword swallow such a tremendous lie? 🤣
