4. Ah, Right, Right, Right
Sera was truly anxious now. She was originally able to enjoy the sight of the little princess's defensive breakdown, but the battle took a shocking turn, allowing Xia Yi to win.
This development was unexpected by all the dragons present.
Everyone was also confused. How did this perfectly fine mage pull out a sword and shatter the core of the puppet giant with just one strike?
Was it over?
"Has Princess ever practiced swordsmanship before?"
"No, I remember the Princess has never practiced swordsmanship. She should be better at magic, right?"
"Since the Princess doesn't know swordsmanship, how did this happen?"
"Does this royal trial count?"
Sera gradually noticed that the other dragons also had strong doubts.
She watched Xia Yi's reaction, waiting for the little princess to come out and explain to everyone.
But Xia Yi stood there blankly, also stunned into silence, as confused as everyone else.
Could it be that even the Princess herself didn't understand what was happening?
Sera suddenly thought of this possibility.
The voices of criticism from the dragons in the field were getting louder and louder. If this continued, the situation might get out of control.
As a dragon elder and an excellent maid of the royal maid team, Sera naturally wouldn't sit idly by.
She walked majestically to the center of the arena and broadcasted to the surroundings.
"I declare that the Silver Dragon Princess, Xia Yi·Christie, has successfully defeated the fourth-order puppet giant and passed the royal trial!"
"I… passed?"
Xia Yi raised her head in confusion, feeling as if she was dreaming, unreal.
"Yes, Your Highness, congratulations, you have won the recognition of our dragon clan, you indeed have the blood of the Silver Dragon royal family flowing in you, possessing undeniable majesty."
Xia Yi's face didn't show much joy, but rather a complex mood, silent.
"This is too strange…"
Sera heard the voice of doubt and immediately caught it and outputted, "Doubt? Are you doubting the Princess's strength? Or are you saying that you want to come up and taste the Princess's swordsmanship?"
All the dragons' eyes gathered on the dragon who had just complained quietly. This guy was really unlucky, he could only stiffly confront Sera, acting as a messenger for everyone.
"Lady Sera, I'm not doubting, just can't understand. After all, the Princess has always been practicing magic, and I've never heard of her practicing swordsmanship. The swordsmanship that the Princess just showed is definitely at the level of a master!"
Sera disdainfully said, "It seems you really don't understand what it means to hide one's abilities."
"Hide one's abilities?"
"That's right, the Princess has been hiding her abilities. In the battle just now, the Princess has already shown a calm and outstanding strategy. First, she used magic to create the illusion that she was at a disadvantage, then used common tactics to further confuse the enemy, lowering their guard and step by step falling into a pre-set trap, and finally used an unexpected killer move to deliver a fatal blow. This is completely the style of a strategic master, just like the Queen in the past."
Sera's gaze swept over the dragons present.
"Your performance just now was no different from the puppet giant earlier. If you were the opponents of the princess just now, what would be your fate? Don't you have any idea even now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the dragons present fell silent, the more they thought about it, the more frightened they became.
The little princess, who seemed like a mascot, had such a meticulous mind. The battle was over, and they hadn't even reacted yet.
The princess, who seemed silly and cute, was actually so terrifying!
"Princess, did I say it right?"
Xia Yi wasn't really paying attention to Sera, and didn't know what she had just said to everyone, she just went along with it.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes!"
Although she didn't know what was going on, she felt like agreeing would settle everything?
"Speaking of which, the queen also defeated a fourth-tier enemy in the royal trial with her third-tier strength, gaining the recognition of the dragon race."
"Thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, the princess is the only daughter of the queen. I don't believe she doesn't have any tricks up her sleeve."
"I guess the princess has other trump cards. The cards in her hand definitely exceed our imagination."
The dragons also unanimously acknowledged Xia Yi's victory.
Seeing the reaction of the dragons, Sera breathed a sigh of relief.
She almost believed the story she had made up herself.
As a maid, Sera had served Xia Yi for a long time. The idea of her being a tactical master was pure nonsense. In fact, she was just a stubborn and lazy little girl.
She guessed that the princess herself still didn't understand how she had won.
But she knew that all of this had a lot to do with the queen.
Even the mysterious sword that appeared just now was probably a trump card given to her daughter by the queen.
It was an important royal trial, and the queen, who always doted on her daughter, didn't even show up today.
Did the queen's feelings for her little princess fade?
No!
The queen had known the outcome of today's event long ago. Even if Xia Yi, who was always arrogant, chose to challenge a higher level, she would still win.
So all she needed to do was follow the queen's wishes and control the scene here.
"Princess, the trial is over. Go back and inform the queen of this good news," Sera said.
"Mm, okay."
Xia Yi nodded.
…
Xia Yi arrived at the palace garden.
At this time, Xia Lulu should be having her afternoon tea.
Sure enough, Xia Yi saw Xia Lulu. At an outdoor tea table surrounded by beautiful flowers, the elegant Silver Dragon Queen was sitting on a white chair with a red tea cup in her hand, while the maids of the royal maid team were standing respectfully on the side.
"Mother, I'm back," Xia Yi greeted nervously.
She felt quite guilty, after all, she had won in a daze.
In such a situation, she should have been undoubtedly defeated, but for some reason, a strong desire to win emerged in her heart, and as a result…
By the time she reacted, the battle was over.
She felt that the sword looked familiar, but she couldn't say exactly what it was.
"Xia Yi, why are you so nervous?" Xia Lulu asked.
"I, I…"
Xia Yi lowered her head and simply told the truth.
"Mother! In the royal trial, I don't know what happened, I summoned a holy sword, defeated the puppet giant with the holy sword, and won inexplicably! That's it!"
"……"
Xia Lulu fell into silence, her gaze swept over the surrounding maids.
The maids immediately understood, and after saluting the queen and the princess neatly, they said goodbye, leaving space for the mother and daughter to talk alone.
Seeing this, Xia Yi became even more nervous.
"Mother… don't you find it strange?"
"Of course not, because that sword--"
Xia Lulu put down the steaming afternoon tea on the saucer.
"That's the Holy Sword Gram, the beloved sword of a human swordsman~"
