23. I Certainly Won't Be Lonely
"Your Majesty, rest assured, everything you have entrusted to me has been properly arranged."
After the respectful bow, Grandmaster Gran stood up and waved his hand. The ancient book, "Dragon War·Secret History," which recorded the history of the dragon race, flew over and landed in front of Xia Lulu for her to review.
After Xia Lulu glanced over it, the content recorded on it changed in just a few seconds, returning to its original state.
In the history of the dragon race, there was indeed a special case. There was once a human who survived the curse of the Dragon King and did not die, becoming a dragon.
However, after he became a dragon, he did not choose to return to the human race, let alone become a human again.
Instead, he lived as a dragon for his entire life, always fighting for the dragon race, and was proud of his identity.
This is the true history.
"Your Majesty, as per your instructions, I showed the revised content to Princess Xia Yi," Grandmaster Gran reported truthfully.
He and Xia Yi had a significant gap in strength, and Xia Yi did not notice.
"How did Xia Yi react?" Xia Lulu asked.
"She was revitalized, Your Majesty," Grandmaster Gran said, "She was very happy, she's never been this serious in class before."
"Is that so? That's good."
Xia Lulu showed a satisfied expression.
"Your Majesty, I am a bit puzzled. Why did you specifically let Princess Xia Yi see these?" Grandmaster Gran was very confused.
The curse of the Dragon King level, there was no room for redemption.
This level of curse was not comparable to ordinary dragon curses, it would definitely turn the target completely into a dragon, it was just a matter of whether the mind and will could withstand it.
"It's just to please my daughter. Her happiness is more important than anything else," Xia Lulu said.
"Happiness?"
Grandmaster Gran couldn't understand why Princess Xia Yi would feel happy knowing this information. Could it be that…
"Gran, you're very smart, but sometimes being too smart isn't good."
Xia Lulu gently reminded him.
Grandmaster Gran was shocked. He clearly felt an invisible pressure from Xia Lulu, making it somewhat difficult for him to breathe.
He quickly restrained his wandering thoughts.
"As you command, Your Majesty, I will not continue to think about this matter. I will not remember anything that happened today."
Xia Lulu expressed her satisfaction, "Gran, I'll make an exception and approve your recent funding request for your new spell development research."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"
Grandmaster Gran quickly thanked her, he was very grateful for Xia Lulu's kindness.
As a researcher, the research of magic was the most important, as for the rest?
Let it be!
As long as I can research magic, the rest doesn't concern me.
……
"Hehe~"
"La la la~"
"Da da da~"
Xia Yi was in a good mood, hopping around in the palace corridor.
On the way, Xia Yi ran into Sera.
"Sera, good afternoon!" Xia Yi greeted her proactively.
Sera was stunned.
Just this morning, the little princess was in a gloomy state before going to her magic class, and now she's completely brightened up?
Out of concern, Sera stepped forward, lifted Xia Yi's silver bangs, and touched her forehead.
"Pardon me, Princess, I need to confirm your physical condition."
"Sera, what are you talking about!"
Xia Yi pushed her personal maid away.
"I'm perfectly normal right now!"
Sera confirmed That Xia Yi was indeed in a healthy state now. Perhaps something had caused a change in her mood?
"I see, Princess, you must have met with Her Majesty, right?"
"Sera, why are you suddenly mentioning her?"
"After all, you haven't seen the Queen these past few days. You must be feeling…"
Lonely.
Sera didn't say it directly out of consideration for Princess Xia Yi's feelings, but Xia Yi understood what she meant.
"There's no such thing, Sera, I'm not lonely!"
"Really? But you clearly always wanted to…"
Xia Yi interrupted Sera anxiously, "I didn't want to! This is a misunderstanding, you must have misunderstood me!"
"But…"
"There are no buts!"
"Ah, Your Majesty?" Sera suddenly changed her tone to one of surprise.
"It's useless, Sera, you want to trick me with this method, but I won't fall for it!"
Xia Yi shook her finger.
"It's too old-fashioned, only primary school students would believe it!"
Sera couldn't help but laugh a little.
"Sera, why are you laughing, I'm serious, even if Xia Lulu is really here, so what?"
"Your Majesty, Princess, I'll take my leave now."
After saying this, Sera really did bow and leave.
Watching Sera's retreating figure, Xia Yi started to waver. This maid was really going all out to make a fool of her, wasn't she?
Just then, a familiar voice sounded in her ear.
"It's been several days since we last saw each other, aren't you going to greet your mother?"
"Xia Lulu?!"
Xia Yi was startled.
Xia Lulu was really behind her!
Xia Yi was a bit at a loss. She had indeed been avoiding Xia Lulu these past few days, but she still ran into her here.
At first, she wanted to retreat. Thinking of the outcome of her confrontation with the Silver Dragon Queen a few days ago, she became nervous.
No…
Wait.
What am I afraid of?
Although I've temporarily been turned into a dragon by this woman, this is only temporary. I'll be able to turn back into a human sooner or later.
After all, the content recorded in "Dragon War·Secret History" couldn't be false.
There's nothing to be afraid of anymore.
Thinking of this, Xia Yi calmed down.
"Xia Lulu, it's been several days since we last saw each other, you must be missing me terribly, right?" Xia Yi took the initiative.
"Hmm, I've been very lonely without seeing Xia Yi."
"Hmph, no matter how hard you deny it, you must miss me very much… Eh?"
Xia Yi was taken aback.
Wait, what did Xia Lulu just say?
The little princess looked up at the dragon loli who looked very similar to herself.
"Xia Yi, have you started to dislike me?"
Xia Lulu dropped her shoulders, looking very wronged. Her tail drooped behind her, she looked like she was about to cry, which was quite pitiful.
This immediately made Xia Yi feel sorry for her, she almost wanted to go up and hug Xia Lulu, "No, how could I possibly dislike my mother--"
Realizing that she was about to fall into a trap, she immediately covered her mouth.
This woman must be tricking her!
A ruler who has lived for nearly a thousand years and can rule over the dragon race, how could she possibly be so soft and cute?
Don't be fooled.
"Stop acting Xia Lulu, your acting skills are too poor."
Xia Yi turned her head to the side, unable to bear to look any longer. Otherwise, she might waver again.
"It's useless on me, after all, we are enemies."
"Is that so?"
"Of course." Xia Yi's answer was firm and decisive.
"Xia Yi is becoming less and less honest."
"Xia Lulu, I have absolutely no feelings for you--"
Before Xia Yi could finish her sentence, she saw something in Xia Lulu's hand and immediately felt embarrassed, her little face turning bright red.
