58. The Little Green Dragon Maid
I almost forgot the important matter!
Wasn't I looking for Xia Lulu's weakness? How did I get immersed in criticizing Grandmaster Gran here?
Forget it, I'll deal with Gran next time when I'm free.
Old man, just gloat for now, I'll spare you today!
Xia Yi stood up, ready to go find Xia Lulu.
At this moment, Sera called out to her, "Princess, aren't you going to eat your mousse cake?"
"Cake?"
Xia Yi turned back to look.
That's right!
The cake isn't finished yet, half is left.
I should be focusing on the bigger picture, how can I stay here and rest…
She really wanted to leave decisively, but her gaze just couldn't leave the cake.
It's cake, mousse cake at that!
And there's even hand-poured milk tea made by the maid sister!
"Um, um…!"
Xia Yi was caught in a very difficult choice, and gradually, she sat back down and started to taste the mousse cake again.
Wasting food is wrong, I would be scolded by my mother, it's something only bad children would do.
So Xia Yi had to endure and continue eating the cake.
"Princess, do you want to continue with the afternoon tea tomorrow?" Sera asked.
"Do you even need to ask?" Xia Yi said affirmatively, "Continue, of course we must continue!"
"Understood, you truly are the Princess." Sera smiled.
The little princess didn't understand what Sera meant.
Forget it, the cake is really good!
…
"Wow wow wow! How is it almost evening already! Sera is so wicked, she even brought out baked scones to deliberately hold me back!" Xia Yi muttered to herself as she hurried towards Xia Lulu's office.
She had planned to finish the mousse cake and hand-poured milk tea and then leave, but Sera suddenly said that she had baked some scones on the spot.
Xia Yi had no choice but to waste a lot of time, finish the scones, end the afternoon tea time, and then be free to act.
Arriving at Xia Lulu's office, the guards all saluted Xia Yi.
After responding to these guards, she adjusted her state and went in to find Xia Lulu.
The office of the dragon race queen was already empty, and the mountain of documents that had been piled up in the office at noon had all disappeared.
"Have they all been dealt with?"
Xia Yi was surprised at Xia Lulu's work efficiency.
Perhaps Xia Lulu went to rest after finishing her work?
She thought about it, the time should still be considered afternoon, there was still time for afternoon tea, and there were several hours until the eight o'clock dinner.
The little princess left the office and went to the door to ask the guards about Xia Lulu's whereabouts.
"Sorry, Princess, we don't know where the Queen has gone," the guard replied.
"How can you not know?"
"We are just guards, Princess," the guard seemed helpless.
Xia Yi thought about it, and it made sense, Xia Lulu was the queen of the dragon race, she could go wherever she wanted without reporting to anyone, how could the guards know her whereabouts.
No choice, she had to ask others.
Xia Yi walked in the palace of the dragon race and suddenly saw a new face.
A young girl dressed in royal maid attire was humming a song, holding a cloth, carefully wiping the giant floor-to-ceiling windows in the corridor. Her hair and eyes were also a shade of emerald green.
"Ah, it's Princess!"
The little maid, upon seeing Xia Yi, smiled excitedly and hurried over to greet her.
But she seemed a bit clumsy, accidentally kicking over a bucket filled with water.
"Oh no, what am I doing! I'm so sorry, Princess!!"
The little maid tried to pick up the bucket, tossing the cloth onto the floor, and just as she took a step, her little shoe stepped on the cloth. Because the floor was wet and slippery, she tumbled to the ground, messing everything up.
Xia Yi was stunned, feeling that the maid's limbs had a mind of their own, completely out of sync.
"I'm so, so sorry, Princess, please forgive me, I'll do anything!" The little maid quickly pleaded with Xia Yi for mercy.
Xia Yi felt this maid was like a character straight out of a comic book, with all her buffs stacked up, too much like something from a two-dimensional world.
"Green dragon?"
Xia Yi then noticed that the girl was a green dragon.
Among the dragon race, there are many species, and Xia Lulu and Xia Yi, the mother and daughter, belong to the silver dragons, which are quite rare in the dragon race.
Like Lucia and Sera, the sisters are red dragons, a more common type of dragon.
And the little maid in front of her was also a common type of dragon, a green dragon.
"Yes, Princess, my name is Elly, I'm a trainee maid who has recently joined the royal maid team!"
Elly looked like she was about to cry, approaching her.
"Princess, please, don't tell the other maids about this, especially Lucia, or my traineeship will definitely end, and then I'll be kicked out of the dragon palace, left to wander the streets, and I'll be doomed!"
"Are you new here?"
"Yes, Princess, as long as you don't mention this, anything goes! I'll do anything!" Elly repeated her earlier plea.
Aren't the royal maid team all supposed to be sharp and capable? How come the new little maid is so clumsy?
Xia Yi didn't care about these things; she had more important matters to attend to and didn't want to be delayed by other things.
"Do you know where Xia Lulu is?"
"The Queen?" Elly nodded eagerly, "Princess, I know! I just ran into the Queen, I greeted her, and she even smiled at me, hehe~"
"Take me to Xia Lulu, and I'll pretend I didn't see what just happened!"
"Wow, Princess, you are so magnanimous!! Don't worry, I'll do it, I'll take you there right now!!"
Elly grabbed Xia Yi's hand and started running.
"Eh?"
Xia Yi was a bit surprised, but never mind, as long as she could find Xia Lulu.
In no time, Elly had brought her to the training ground.
This was where the dragon race's warriors usually trained.
"Why is Xia Lulu here?"
Xia Yi indeed saw Xia Lulu.
In the center of the training ground, the Silver Dragon Queen was confronting a dragon race individual.
Xia Yi recognized that dragon; he was the captain of the guards in the dragon palace, a serious and responsible man.
"Princess, should we go over and greet the Queen?" Elly pulled at Xia Yi's sleeve.
"No, let's just watch from here."
Xia Yi and Elly hid in a corner, signaling Elly to be quiet.
Elly quickly obeyed, covering her mouth, doing whatever Xia Yi said.
Xia Yi's attention was fixed on the center of the training ground, where Xia Lulu was sparring with the captain of the guards. This wasn't a sign of conflict but rather a friendly bout.
"This is my chance!" Xia Yi watched intently.
Xia Lulu fighting someone else provided the perfect opportunity to discover her weaknesses!
However, the outcome of the fight left Xia Yi very disappointed.
Xia Lulu stood her ground, transforming into a veritable magic artillery, bombarding the captain with a relentless barrage of spells. Her magical power was terrifyingly immense, showing no signs of fatigue. Under the onslaught of her magic, the captain even had to use his true dragon form to counter, but in the end, he was still no match and admitted defeat.
"The Queen is truly invincible, I've lost… Indeed, I am still far from your level, even after these hundreds of years, I've not been able to catch up to you," the captain acknowledged with respect.
"You flatter me, Captain. I am not invincible; I have tasted defeat in the past. Your performance is also commendable; there are few who can withstand my magic for so long," Xia Lulu replied gracefully.
Xia Yi was speechless; there was nothing to glean from this, no weaknesses or flaws to exploit. It was a one-sided display of Xia Lulu's prowess.
But something Xia Lulu said caught her attention.
"So Xia Lulu isn't invincible; she has known defeat in the past…"
Xia Yi pondered, feeling she had uncovered a crucial detail.
"What are you doing?"
"Shh, can't you see I'm busy? I'm observing Xia Lulu's weaknesses."
Xia Yi felt her train of thought interrupted and was quite annoyed, not even wanting to acknowledge the person beside her.
"Xia Lulu's weakness? I know it, let me tell you~"
"Oh? Then hurry up and tell me—"
Xia Yi was initially pleased but then froze.
Wait, that doesn't sound like Elly's voice. Who is speaking to me?
Of course its your cuteness little princess
