Volume 3 + Chapter 101: Reliable Older Brother
After watching Xia Yi enter the venue, Lia narrowed her eyes.
In response to the student council president’s question, she gave a surprising answer.
“This year is different from last year. There’s only one person who could possibly be my dance partner,” she said.
Upon hearing this, the student council president was very surprised.
Because he knew that no one had ever been able to catch the eye of this young lady of the Schubert family. Presumably, only the outstanding young talents from the other three great families of the Rhine Kingdom would be worthy of Lia’s attention, right?
Yet among the attendees of the freshman social, there was no such candidate.
This made the student council president even more curious.
However, he knew his boundaries and did not press further. After all, everything would be revealed tonight sooner or later. There was no difference—all he had to do was wait and see.
……
“Why can’t I sense it again? How strange…”
Xia Yi had entered the main venue of the freshman social and once again fell into confusion.
The reason she came here was that she had detected the aura of a witch and followed it.
But now that she was inside the venue, she couldn’t find it anymore.
This witch was so elusive—was she playing some kind of hide-and-seek with her?
Or perhaps her purpose for being here wasn’t what Xia Yi had imagined—some grand, sinister scheme—but simply to attend the party?
“Hehe, Xia Yi, you came after all.”
Xia Yi heard a familiar voice again. She turned around and, sure enough, it was her former younger sister, Lia Schubert, the young lady of the Schubert family.
Lia had now changed into formal attire, her long hair tied up in an elegant bun. Her dress shimmered under the lights, and her graceful figure stood out among the other girls, as if she were the protagonist of the event.
Xia Yi was momentarily dazed.
It wasn’t out of surprise at Lia’s appearance, but rather a subtle feeling rising in her heart.
The little sister who used to dislike her so much had now grown into a stunning beauty.
The passage of time was vividly reflected in Lia.
“What’s wrong, Xia Yi? Staring at me like that—do you think my outfit suits me?” Lia asked curiously.
“Mm, you’re much more beautiful than I imagined, Lia. That’s why I’m a little surprised,” Xia Yi replied.
“Xia Yi, you’re such a sweet talker. But it makes me wonder—are these words meant only for me, or have you said them to other girls too?”
“These are my sincere thoughts.”
Xia Yi’s answer dodged the question.
Right now, she didn’t want to engage with Lia any further and was looking for an excuse to leave.
This younger sister had become so strange. Why was she showing such strong interest in her…?
Most importantly, she was trying to fish for information!
She kept claiming to know Xia Yi’s secrets, attempting to pry something out of her.
If Xia Yi slipped up even slightly and revealed something, Lia would undoubtedly use it as leverage against her.
“Xia Yi, I knew you’d come to the freshman social. That’s why I applied to have the event held at my family’s manor,” Lia said.
“Lia, you’re really generous.”
“By the way, Xia Yi, have you chosen a dance partner yet?”
“No,” Xia Yi answered truthfully.
Why were both the little fox and Lia so concerned about whether she had a dance partner?
Did they just enjoy mocking her that much?
Hmph.
She felt that even Hill was better. Her obedient student never laughed at her and even fed her—ahem, no, helped her!
“Still, Xia Yi, your outfit isn’t quite suitable for the freshman social. You should change,” Lia suggested.
“I left in a hurry and didn’t pay much attention… It’s too late to go back now. The event is about to start, so there’s nothing I can do.”
Xia Yi didn’t want to leave Lia’s manor unless she was sure the witch was no longer here.
So she made up an excuse, pretending to be helpless and troubled.
However, Lia then made a suggestion that took Xia Yi by surprise.
“In that case, Xia Yi, let me help you. I’ll lend you an outfit.”
“Sure—huh?” Xia Yi reacted. “You’re lending me clothes?!”
“That’s right,” Lia nodded. “Isn’t this the best solution? I’ll help you get dressed up so you’ll be ready when the event officially begins.”
This was bad. Very bad.
Xia Yi’s instincts were correct—she really shouldn’t have come to the freshman social, especially after learning it was being held at Lia’s manor.
Wasn’t this just walking straight into the lion’s den?
But she had no choice.
Her current outfit really wasn’t appropriate.
Even if she couldn’t reveal her identity, she still didn’t want to compromise the dignity of the Silver Dragon royalty. Showing up at a social event like this was far too casual.
“F-Fine,” Xia Yi reluctantly agreed.
She followed Lia away from the first-floor venue, deeper into the manor.
……
What am I doing?
Sitting in front of the vanity, Xia Yi’s mood was extremely complicated.
Help.
Help…
HELP!!
Right now, she desperately wanted to flee from the chair.
Because she was currently experiencing something utterly terrifying—
Her younger sister was dressing her up!
Lia seemed to be enjoying herself immensely, combing Xia Yi’s long black hair while seriously considering whether to tie it into a side ponytail or a low ponytail.
Back in the Dragon Kingdom, her personal maid, Serra, would often dress her up, so Xia Yi was used to it.
But now, the nature of the situation was completely different.
Because the person behind her was her younger sister.
What kind of image had Wright Schubert, her former self, presented to his sister?
An outstanding, talented, and unwavering human Sword Saint—a reliable older brother.
But now…?
The former human Sword Saint had turned into a little girl, and her younger sister was contemplating how to make her look cute, what pretty dress to wear, what kind of stockings would suit her…
NO!!
Xia Yi felt her spirit suffering a tremendous impact. Something important was crumbling—she had to protect her dignity as an older brother!
Think of a way out. Before it was too late, think of something!
“Lia, you don’t have to trouble yourself. Why not let your family’s maid help me instead? After all, you’re the young lady of the Schubert family. Isn’t this a bit inappropriate…?”
Xia Yi forced herself to remain calm and made a tactful suggestion.
Hearing this, Lia laughed. Her next words made Xia Yi feel that something was seriously wrong, and she grew even more restless.
