14. The Little Princess Is In Her Rebellious Phase
Xia Yi was lost in confusion.
Memories of the past haunted her mind relentlessly.
She never had the childhood of a normal child. After losing her parents and wandering around, she was taken into an orphanage after receiving help.
Back then, when the children in the orphanage were bullied by others, she stood up and taught those bullies a lesson.
In order to protect those around her, she secretly practiced swordsmanship…
Unexpectedly, this was seen as an outstanding talent and was discovered. The Schubert family took a liking to her. After being adopted, she became a foster child of the Schubert family and the future heir.
At that time, Wright didn't think too much, only wanting to use the sword in his hand to protect those around him. Having once lost his family, he naturally understood that he needed to cherish the hard-won family feelings.
But the accident still happened. The original heir of the Schubert family woke up from a long-term coma. In just one night, she went from being the central heir to an extra existence, losing the right to inherit the Schubert family.
Even though she would not do anything harmful to the family, after all, the blood flowing in her was not the real Schubert bloodline, and she was subjected to suspicion.
The human Sword Saint didn't want to say much, planning to prove with actions that she would continue to protect those around her.
At that time, she received an order from the royal family of the Rhine Kingdom, asking the human Sword Saint to kill the Silver Dragon Queen, Xia Lulu.
Although the upper echelons of the Schubert family did not make it clear, the human Sword Saint already understood what this order meant.
What Xia Lulu said was right…
Xia Yi's eyes gradually lost their luster and became dim.
Xia Lulu gently stroked her daughter's cheek and whispered, "Xia Yi, you've been very happy these years, haven't you? Don't think too much, just accept the reality. You are already a member of the Dragon Clan."
"Mother, I…"
Just as Xia Yi was about to accept everything, the Holy Sword mark on her hand flickered with dazzling light, attracting her attention.
"The Holy Sword…?"
She stared intently at her own hand.
Suddenly, she remembered something.
That was what she had said in her dream—
"The Holy Sword has not betrayed, the Holy Sword Gram has always been the same, recognizing and serving its only master."
Even though her body had changed, from a human to a member of the Dragon Clan, the current Holy Sword still recognized Xia Yi.
Her silver eyes became clear.
If she had truly fallen completely, how could the Holy Sword possibly respond to her call?
Even if she was really abandoned by the Schubert family, so what?
The fact that she had obtained the title of Sword Saint, honed her swordsmanship, and defeated many strong enemies would not change!
A firm will emerged in Xia Yi's eyes. She raised her hands and shouted loudly:
"Holy Sword!! Gram!!"
A blazing light appeared, and the sword aura rose like a wild wind, shaking the Silver Dragon Queen away from her side.
"Hmph, Xia Lulu, no matter what means you use, you can't erase my sword heart! As long as the sword is there, my heart is there, I am the Sword Saint!"
Xia Yi gripped the Holy Sword tightly and reissued her declaration.
"I won't waver anymore, I want to challenge you, let's duel!"
Xia Lulu's silver hair fluttered in the wind. She wasn't angry at Xia Yi's sudden awakening, but rather, she seemed more interested.
"So this is what a rebellious daughter is like? It's really interesting, it's worth teaching her a lesson."
"What kind of lesson, take it seriously!!" Xia Yi glared at Xia Lulu, "I am challenging you with the honor of a swordsman, not throwing a tantrum!"
"Is that so?"
"I have already pointed my blade at you, that should explain everything."
Xia Yi pointed her sword at Xia Lulu.
Such a dangerous provocation… it was her first time doing this since becoming a princess of the Dragon Clan.
Although she spoke loudly, she was actually a little unsure in her heart. Maybe she was too influenced by her dragon personality?
But if she were to give in here, she would truly fall!
"Since Xia Yi has said so much, I should indeed give you some respect. I accept your challenge, Xia Yi."
"Xia Lulu, if I win against you, you have to change me back. You can't bind me with the identity of a Dragon Clan princess."
"Are you still holding onto such unrealistic fantasies?"
"Just say it, dare you accept it! Don't tell me that you, as the Silver Dragon Queen, are actually afraid of challenges?"
"Your provocation doesn't work on me, Xia Yi. But well, today I'll spoil you a bit, I accept your request."
That's great, mother really spoils me the most!
Xia Yi was about to laugh, but she immediately swallowed her words, blushing and changing her words, "Damn Silver Dragon Queen, you… look down on me!"
"Xia Yi, I don't, oh. I am accepting your challenge as the Silver Dragon Queen Xia Lulu·Christie. This is a special privilege for you as my daughter. No one else can enjoy the right to challenge me directly."
"…Well, okay."
Actually, what Xia Lulu said was not wrong.
When she was still the human Sword Saint, she didn't have the opportunity to face the Silver Dragon Queen directly. She had to pass the Dragon Clan's guard first.
Even if she passed the guard, there would be a stronger royal maid group from the Dragon Clan to fight.
The Silver Dragon Queen represented the dignity of the Dragon Clan, and it was almost impossible to challenge her directly.
It was indeed an exception for Xia Lulu to accept the challenge at this time.
"But, Xia Yi, you are now a princess of the Dragon Clan, you should know better than anyone, right? Since you want to challenge the Dragon Clan, you have to be prepared to pay the price, and be prepared to bear the wrath if you fail."
"I… of course I know."
"Although you are my daughter, you've been too naughty today, exceeding the limits of what I usually tolerate. I can't turn a blind eye anymore. Let's make it clear, this isn't something you can get away with by crying."
Xia Lulu smiled, walked to her daughter's side, and picked up a strand of her silver hair, holding it in her palm.
"If you win against me, I'll grant any request you have; but if you lose to me, there's no escaping the punishment~"
"Pu-punishment…?!"
Xia Yi's body trembled.
She had indeed made mistakes in the past that angered Xia Lulu. The consequences of that time… were very severe. If possible, she didn't want to remember it at all!
Seeing her daughter's expression, Xia Lulu was even more amused, "Xia Yi, it's still not too late to cry now. After all, the duel hasn't officially started yet, I can soften my heart~"
Was she going to succumb to this enemy who turned her into a Dragon Clan loli?
What a joke, she was the Sword Saint who wasn't even afraid of death, a little intimidation was nothing.
For a future of freedom!
Step forward, step forward!
"Don't try to fool me, Xia Lulu, the outcome is still uncertain! Today, I'm going to make the Silver Dragon Queen cry!"
Eh, half the chapter is repeated
