61. It Must Be Taken Down
The biographies of the successive Dragon Kings of the dragon clan are, of course, not to be easily revealed to others.
Most of the secrets related to the dragon clan are contained within the biographies of the Dragon Kings. If some people with ulterior motives were to get their hands on them, it could potentially shake the foundation of the dragon clan.
To ensure the stability of the dragon clan, only the successive Dragon Kings have the authority to read their biographies.
Apart from these, most of the other historical books are just simple biographies, which reveal little.
If Xia Yi wants to understand Xia Lulu, she definitely needs the biography of Gerka, knowing that his life must have recorded content related to his descendants, and among them would be Xia Lulu.
The little princess must obtain the biography of the former king.
"Creak, must Xia Lulu be present for you to access these seals?" Xia Yi asked.
"Your Highness, it is so, only Her Majesty the Queen herself can do it."
"I see, I don't blame you, Creak, after all, rules are rules, and it would be bad to break them."
Xia Yi squatted down, stroking the little bone dragon's head.
"It's very necessary for you to be diligent and responsible, after all, our dragon clan's history involves many important secrets that cannot be leaked."
"Your Highness, wuwuwu, you really are wise!"
Creak was so moved that he almost cried, but unfortunately, this little guy no longer had tear ducts.
"Of course…"
As if!
Xia Yi had already thought in her heart that she and Xia Lulu looked almost indistinguishable anyway, and it was impossible to tell who was who just by appearance.
Even the dragon clan usually relied on clothing and temperament to distinguish between her and Xia Lulu.
As for temperament… well, Xia Yi admitted that Xia Lulu was just a little bit better than herself!
But what does that matter?
Because temperament can be imitated.
Then there's the clothing, which is even simpler.
Why not just borrow Xia Lulu's clothes, and that would solve the problem?
Since there's no issue with appearance, and both temperament and clothing can be resolved, then she would be Xia Lulu!
As Xia Lulu, the Silver Dragon Queen, requesting to review the biography of the previous Dragon King Gerka is a perfectly normal thing, and who in this dragon kingdom could stop her?
No one!
"Humph humph humph…"
The little princess almost laughed, this was going to be a sure win!
…
That evening.
Xia Yi returned to the dragon clan's imperial palace.
"Sera, I'm hungry," Xia Yi found Sera.
"Eh? Your Highness, why have you come back?"
"It's dinner time."
"But didn't you say not to prepare your portion…"
Sera's expression showed some difficulty.
Xia Yi had a bad feeling, oh no, could it be that Sera didn't make her portion?
Wouldn't that mean she had no dinner to eat?
That can't happen!!
Xia Yi couldn't stand being hungry, dragons would starve to death on the spot without dinner!
"How could this be…!"
Xia Yi was a bit anxious, but it was indeed her own words, and it was only logical for Sera to follow orders.
At this moment, however, Sera smiled, "Your Highness need not worry, I still prepared your dinner."
Hearing this, Xia Yi's face immediately brightened, and the clouds of worry were replaced by the sunshine of relief. "Really?!"
"Of course, after all, it's always wise to be prepared for any eventuality. Considering such possibilities is part of a maid's duty." Sera replied.
Sera was indeed an exemplary royal maid, always understanding and considerate.
Xia Yi nodded in satisfaction, her stomach growling just in time to remind her of her hunger.
Tonight, she would eat her fill, sleep soundly, and upon waking, she would set her plan into motion!
…
The next day.
Xia Lulu began her day as usual, working in her office. Xia Yi didn't seek her out; today was not the day to meet with Xia Lulu. If she were to let slip any hint of her intentions, it would spoil everything!
Avoidance was clearly the best strategy.
However, she needed to confirm Xia Lulu's whereabouts.
By the afternoon, Xia Yi personally witnessed Xia Lulu leaving the office, having completed all her paperwork. Concerned about revealing herself, Xia Yi didn't dare to follow but instead sought out a royal maid to confirm the details.
The person she approached was Lucia.
"Your Highness, what can I do for you?" Lucia asked respectfully.
"Lucia, I can't find Xia Lulu. Can you tell me where she is?"
"The Queen, Your Majesty?" Lucia paused for a moment before responding, "Your Highness, after finishing her duties today, the Queen went to rest in the back garden."
"Oh, is that so…"
On the surface, Xia Yi responded nonchalantly, but inside, a storm was brewing.
Since Xia Lulu's routine was as usual, she would definitely be in the back garden having afternoon tea, reading, or perhaps napping. And this was the only time she would be there today.
Based on her own experience, Xia Yi deduced that Xia Lulu would rest for quite a while, leaving plenty of time for her to execute her plan.
"Humph, Xia Lulu, it won't be long before all your secrets are laid bare before me. Then we'll see who's the arrogant one!"
"Your Highness, are you planning to join the Queen for a nap?" Lucia suddenly asked.
"Uh, yes—"
Xia Yi responded instinctively, then realized something was amiss and her face flushed with embarrassment.
"No, no! Lucia, what are you talking about? I would never do such a thing!"
"But didn't you last time…"
"There was no last time, absolutely not! You mustn't spread rumors!!"
With that, the little princess hurried away.
Lucia was left puzzled. The princess clearly enjoyed it, yet she refused to admit it. Was the princess's split personality acting up again?
…
After calming herself down, Xia Yi arrived at the Silver Dragon Queen's private dressing room. Today's opportunity was not to be missed.
The room was usually filled with Xia Lulu's clothes, off-limits to most, but as the Silver Dragon Princess, Xia Yi had every right to be there.
She rummaged through the dressing room, selecting a suitable black dress that she felt was just right, and decided on it.
There was little difference in their physiques; what fit Xia Lulu would fit Xia Yi as well.
However…
"Ugh… why is it a bit tight around the chest? It's so snug."
Xia Yi muttered her complaint, but it was fine; she could endure it. It wasn't a big deal.
Xia Yi quickly slipped off her small leather shoes, tugging at the edge of her white stockings from the top of her thighs, pulling them down swiftly. After discarding the stockings on the floor, she began to put on the black boots.
Once she changed her clothes and adjusted her hairstyle, she would be Xia Lulu—
Creak.
Suddenly, the door opened.
Someone walked in, and as Xia Yi's gaze met hers, she froze on the spot, her mind going blank.
One is doom before finishing the task.
