21. It's Time For Internet Depression
"Do you know how much I've hoped for, how much I regret? Do you?"
"I'm sorry for being born a dragon."
"Is it cute? I exchanged my life for it."
The silver-haired girl sat high in the tree, tilting her head at a forty-five degree angle, looking up at the starry sky, her silver eyes filled with a faint sadness.
Below, Sera, who served as a personal maid, was troubled by Xia Yi's emo time.
Recently, their little princess had become very strange. Since waking up that morning, she had been in a complex mood, full of worries.
Especially after twelve o'clock every night, she would find a quiet place to be alone, muttering some inexplicable lines, starting her jade time.
Even though Sera had used many methods, she had not been able to ask Xia Yi why she had become this way.
These days, Xia Yi's emotional changes were too strange, just like schizophrenia, one way in the morning and another in the evening.
As a maid, she was unable to share the princess's worries, and could only watch silently from the side, which made Sera feel that she had failed.
"What's wrong with the princess?"
"It's a normal stage."
A voice replied to Sera.
She was surprised and looked to the side, "Sister?"
"Yes."
Lucia, who was also a royal maid, nodded expressionlessly.
"I saw you in the corridor just now, secretly following someone, I was curious, so I came to have a look."
"Sister, the little princess has become so strange recently, do you have any insights?"
Sera asked her sister for help. Although their personalities were different, the sisters had a very good relationship.
"Isn't adolescence like this? Like you." Lucia replied.
"Ah…?"
"Who would have thought that Sera, an excellent royal maid, was actually a…"
"Sister, don't talk nonsense, I didn't!"
Sera covered Lucia's mouth in embarrassment.
"What does what I did before have to do with the little princess!"
"I'm just saying, the changes in adolescence come quickly, and you might become a different person overnight," Lucia explained, "Those are just appearances, but the inner self won't change, just like you, after being honestly taught, didn't you become obedient?"
"Stop revealing my dark history!"
"We just believe in the princess, after all, we are just maids, as long as we watch over the princess."
"Alright."
Sera had no choice but to do so.
At this time, Xia Yi's attention was not below, and she did not know that the two sisters were talking, but her thoughts drifted to the distance.
She was very troubled now and didn't know what to do.
She used to be a dragon slayer, a human Sword Saint, theoretically an enemy of the dragon race, and an enemy of the Silver Dragon Queen Xia Lulu.
But now she has become Xia Lulu's daughter, the princess of the dragon race.
The current human Sword Saint is also considered a discarded piece, ruthlessly abandoned, even if she wants to go back, her former family will not accept her.
On the contrary, it was the former enemy Xia Lulu who gave her a place to stay…
Is there anything more absurd in this world?!
On the one hand, she feels like a human Sword Saint, and on the other hand, she feels like a dragon princess. These two feelings are entangled, and she feels uncomfortable with Xia Lulu but also likes her.
"Damn it, who can tell me what to do in this situation?"
…
Rest time passed, and Xia Yi had to return to class.
These past few days, she hadn't been like before, not going to find Xia Lulu at night, but deliberately avoiding her.
Although this made Xia Yi feel a bit lonely…
What would it look like if she stuck to her mortal enemy all day?
She must not indulge her inner self, she can't fall any further!
Even though she thought so, she hadn't taken any specific actions, and had muddled through these past few days.
"Princess, can you repeat what this old man just said?"
An old voice filled with mild anger questioned Xia Yi.
Xia Yi looked up to see an elderly dragon with white hair, adjusting his glasses, somewhat angry.
He was Xia Yi's magic teacher, and also a magician with a deep history among the dragon race - Grandmaster Gran.
Only then did Xia Yi remember that she was still in class, and she had been daydreaming again.
"Princess, can you repeat what this old man just said?"
"Waibibabu?"
"What 'Waibibabu'! Princess, you haven't been serious since the start of today's class, do you think magic is no longer useful?" Grand was so angry his beard was bristling.
"No, that's not it."
"But in the last royal trial, you defeated the magic puppet giant with swordsmanship and won," Grandmaster Gran seemed to be in a hurry, "If you had seriously studied forbidden magic with me at that time, it wouldn't have ended like this, now the Dragon Clan is starting to doubt my magic level!"
So Grandmaster Gran cared about this.
Xia Yi understood.
Actually, Grandmaster Gran was indeed very capable, he had brought out a lot of Xia Yi's magical talent, but she just loved to show off, relying on her royal bloodline, she could have outstanding combat power with just a little study, and basically hadn't studied seriously.
"Swordsmanship is too barbaric, I will prove that only elegant magic is the T0 version!" Grand kept muttering, full of resentment, "You must not continue to study swordsmanship!"
Xia Yi looked at Grand, and gradually remembered something.
This dragon could be considered a living fossil of the dragon race, his lifespan was much longer than that of ordinary dragons, he had witnessed many historical events, and his knowledge was very profound.
Perhaps, he could answer the doubts in her heart.
"Grandmaster Gran!"
"What is it?"
Grandaster Gran was quite surprised to see the princess, who had been slacking off during class, suddenly become so spirited. The little princess had never been this proactive after class.
"I will study magic seriously, I've always thought magic is the best!"
"Of course!" The old dragon laughed, thinking, the princess has finally come to her senses!
"But before that, I have some questions I want to ask you."
"What questions?"
"Do you know about the dragon's curse?"
"The curse of the dragon race?"
Grand stroked his beard proudly.
"I'm not very capable, but I did study it a few years ago, and I know a little bit."
Xia Yi's eyes widened, "If other races, like the human race, were cursed by the dragon race, would they definitely die?"
"Of course, the curse of the dragon race has a very powerful force, how could ordinary races possibly withstand it? They would basically die without a doubt. In the distant past, during the war between the dragon race and all the races of the world, many powerful beings died under the curse of the dragon race, which made all the races of the world extremely wary of our Dragon Clan."
"Is death the only outcome?" Xia Yi continued to question.
"Not necessarily," Grand's next answer surprised Xia Yi.
