55. I'm Losing My Mind

Xia Lulu was taken aback by her daughter's request, a bit surprised.

"Really?"

"…Yes."

"But didn't you say before that you were already an adult?"

"That, that was… can't I…?"

Xia Yi couldn't quite explain herself and gave up, showing a pitiful look that was truly endearing.

"There's really no helping it, Xia Yi is still such a child who loves to be spoiled… Come here." Xia Lulu agreed to her request.

Yay!!

Xia Yi immediately beamed with joy.

Huh, why am I showing such happiness?

Is it because the plan is going smoothly…?

Never mind that, the important thing is I get to be with mother again~

The little princess swiftly moved from the foot of the bed into the covers, on the soft big bed, a little bun slowly moved to the front, poking out her head.

Xia Lulu then lifted the blanket, sat down, and moved closer to her daughter, covering them both.

Just like that, two silver-haired dragon race lolis snuggled up~

Xia Yi looked up and could see the dim light illuminating Xia Lulu's profile, those silver eyes at such an angle looked extraordinarily beautiful, like gems.

It felt as if time itself had slowed down.

When was the last time Xia Yi slept with Xia Lulu? It felt like a long time ago.

At such a close distance, she could even smell that familiar faint scent.

"Daughter, do you want to hear a story?" Xia Lulu's voice was soft.

"Yes, I want to hear one."

"What kind of story would you like to hear? How about we continue the story of the dragon-slaying Sword Saint from last time?" Xia Lulu said with a sly smile, "After all, I left you hanging last time, I didn't finish it."

Xia Yi suddenly felt embarrassed and shrank back, "Change it, change it!"

Suddenly, she remembered something very important.

Oh, that's right, I am the human Sword Saint!

I came here today to find Xia Lulu's weakness, I almost forgot, that was close.

Xia Yi made up her mind, this time, she would find Xia Lulu's weakness!

Xia Lulu was still oblivious, surely she would reveal her vulnerability.

"Daughter, what story would you like to hear?"

"An adventure type, a grand and thrilling adventure," Xia Yi suggested casually.

"An adventure? Alright then, I'll tell you a story about The King of Knights."

Xia Lulu took out a book and began to narrate:

"Long ago, there was a brave young man raised by a wizard, and to save his own country, he pulled out the Holy Sword that was fixed in stone, becoming The King of Knights foretold by prophecy…"

As Xia Yi listened to the story told by Xia Lulu, feeling the warmth of the bed, sleepiness overcame her, and she gradually closed her eyes, snuggling up to the Silver Dragon Queen.

The story was fascinating, but the ending was sad.

The young man became the legendary knight king, saving his beloved country, fulfilling his youthful dreams, becoming a hero… but the ending was tragic.

"Why does the story have to end like that?"

Xia Yi murmured softly before drifting off to sleep, her breathing steady.

"To be a king is to pay a price,"

Xia Lulu whispered as she closed the book and placed it beside the bed, the room falling silent.

She looked down at her daughter, her gaze showing a tenderness rarely seen, and gently lifted her hand to tidy Xia Yi's slightly disheveled silver bangs.

The Silver Dragon Queen leaned down and left a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"Goodnight, Xia Yi."

…

The next day.

"Ugh… ah…"

The sun was already high in the sky, and Xia Yi's sleeping position was far from graceful. She even rolled around in bed, nearly falling off, but someone caught her and placed her back on the bed.

"…"

"…Hmm?"

In a daze, Xia Yi felt a gaze upon her and struggled to open her eyes.

"Who's there?"

Through her blurry vision, she saw a red-haired dragon maid—oh, it must be Sera—

"Good morning, Princess… or perhaps I should say good afternoon."

Xia Yi heard a somewhat cool voice, different from the usual Sera.

She sat up, rubbing her eyes vigorously until her vision finally cleared, and she could see the royal maid in front of her.

It wasn't Sera, but… Lucia?

Xia Yi looked around and realized she wasn't in her own room but in Xia Lulu's bedroom.

Oh, that's right, she had come to find Xia Lulu last night!

She had endured humiliation, hiding her true purpose, climbed into Xia Lulu's bed, and then…

Eh?

Xia Yi's expression froze, had she not planned to divert Xia Lulu's attention, casually mentioning a story, but how did she end up actually falling asleep listening to it?

Wasn't she supposed to find Xia Lulu's weakness, how could she have just fallen asleep like that!

And to sleep until noon before waking up, her goal was not achieved at all!

"I've failed again!" Xia Yi lamented.

"Princess?"

Lucia seemed to be completely out of the loop.

"Ah, it's nothing, don't mind me, Lucia."

"Princess, you still love the Queen so much, last night you even went to sleep with her—"

"Wait! Lucia, don't let this get out!"

Xia Yi quickly grabbed Lucia's maid outfit sleeve, her voice tinged with urgency.

"Don't tell anyone about this!"

"Princess, I won't tell a soul," Lucia assured her.

Xia Yi sighed in relief, feeling the weight lift off her shoulders.

Thank goodness, Lucia was always professional in her conduct, and if she promised something, she would keep her word.

During her time traveling to the Blackstone Kingdom, Xia Yi had come to understand Lucia's character a bit more.

If the rest of the dragon clan in the palace found out, she would be utterly embarrassed!

After all the effort she had put into building a reputation as a figure of strength, and with the credibility she had gained through the campaign in the Blackstone Kingdom, she was finally shedding the image of a mere mascot. She had to maintain her reputation at all costs; she couldn't let it crumble now.

"Because even if I don't say anything, everyone in the dragon palace already knows what happened last night," Lucia added nonchalantly.

"What did you say…?"

The little princess, who had just felt a moment of relief, was now frozen in shock, her composure shattered by Lucia's explanation.

"Last night, you were seen prancing around in front of the Queen's room in your cute pajamas, which caught the guards' attention. They didn't disturb you but instead informed the royal maid corps. Word spread quickly, and now everyone knows," Lucia explained calmly.

"…"

Help!!
