95. The Majestic Princess Of Sweeping

It's been said, truly said!

Xia Yi felt her cheeks getting hotter and hotter.

It was so embarrassing, to actually act coquettishly towards Xia Lulu, and even let someone feed her, this, this… Is this really something a Sword Saint should do?

The royal maids on the side, seeing this scene, all started to laugh.

The little princess buried her face into Xia Lulu's body, not daring to lift her head at all. She now felt that if she looked at someone else's face, she would explode on the spot!

"Xia Yi, do you really want to act like a spoiled child with me?" Xia Lulu started to laugh.

But this was all a helpless act for her student, not something she really wanted to do.

"Um… Is that not okay?" Xia Yi's tail started to wag.

"Satisfying the whims of a cute daughter is one of the duties of a mother."

Xia Lulu also hugged Xia Yi, pulling her daughter onto her own chair, and the two squeezed together intimately.

Snuggle~

Xia Yi suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since she had been close to Xia Lulu.

When was the last time…

Oh, right, she remembered!

It was when she hugged a pillow and went to sleep with Xia Lulu at night.

That time was the same as this time, she successfully deceived Xia Lulu, and the other party didn't realize her true purpose.

Yes, that's right, it must be so, it was all acting, definitely not because she wanted to be close to Xia Lulu on her own initiative.

Xia Yi felt that her acting skills were really amazing, almost like the real thing!

Now, Xia Lulu's attention was no longer on the human team from the Rhine Kingdom, it was all on her, successfully shifting the topic.

Xia Yi's great victory!

The little princess smiled unconsciously.

Xia Lulu picked up a knife, cut into the Swiss roll, and after slicing it, she stabbed it with a fork and brought it to Xia Yi's mouth.

"Try the taste, daughter," Xia Lulu said.

Xia Yi opened her mouth, bit down, and experienced the comfortable texture, as well as the pleasant sweetness spreading on her taste buds.

So good~

Even though she was being fed, she surprisingly enjoyed this situation.

Originally, she could have found any excuse to leave the back garden and slip away.

But then, she thought that since it was acting, why not continue for a while longer, since she had nothing to lose.

"I want… another piece," she requested softly.

"Xia Yi really likes to act spoiled, I can't do anything about you," Xia Lulu touched her daughter's head.

And so, Xia Yi and Xia Lulu enjoyed tea time together after a long absence.

…

"Xia Yi, I have official duties to deal with, so I will leave first," Xia Lulu said.

"Oh…"

Xia Yi nodded reluctantly.

After that, Xia Lulu got up and left the back garden.

Xia Yi also stood up, preparing to return to her own room.

"I did it!"

The silver-haired loli clenched her small fist and said happily:

"Xia Lulu was completely deceived by my flawless acting, and in the end, she didn't mention the humans at all, this matter is considered over!"

On the way, Xia Yi was very happy, even humming a song.

"Your Highness, good afternoon!"

The guard coming towards her greeted Xia Yi.

"Good afternoon."

"Your Highness seems in high spirits. Did you go to see the queen to act spoiled?" the guard suddenly said.

"…Eh?" Xia Yi froze on the spot.

Wait, what is this guard talking about all of a sudden!

She felt extremely embarrassed, didn't reply, and just walked away quickly.

"Your Highness!!"

The next person she encountered was a royal maid, the green dragon little maid, Elly.

"Hehehe, Your Highness, long time no see!" Elly greeted.

"Elly?"

"Yes!" Elly curtsied, "Your Highness, did you have a good time with the queen this afternoon?"

"Ah?"

Xia Yi's mouth twitched.

"What… what are you talking about…"

"Your Highness, I know everything! The other maids told me, today you went to see the queen on your own, bared your heart, and had the queen feed you cake! I'm so envious!" Elly seemed quite proud.

"Such a cute side of Your Highness, of course, I have to let the entire dragon palace know! So in the afternoon, I told everyone I met all about it, now everyone in the dragon palace knows about it! They're all discussing how cute you are!"

"What?!" Xia Yi felt like she had been struck by lightning, frozen in place.

The dignified image she had carefully built up among the dragons was now completely swept away because of Elly.

No wonder the people she met on the road looked at her so strangely, with no respect at all, they just saw her as a mascot!

But she was really wronged, it wasn't her intention at the time, it was just a helpless sacrifice to shift the topic.

The key point was, this situation was impossible to explain, if she really clarified it, it would bring even more trouble.

Now everyone must have misunderstood, thinking she was a silly loli who liked to act spoiled and was insincere!

"You… you…!"

Xia Yi was both anxious and embarrassed, almost wanting to rush up and grab Elly's cheeks.

As she was about to act, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Your Highness."

"Sera!"

"Sera… sister." Elly shrank her head.

Sera asked, "Elly, have you completed your task?"

"…"

"The cleaning task you were responsible for this afternoon wasn't completed, instead, you've been running around chatting with everyone you meet. Such negligence, do you not want to be promoted?"

"Ah! I… I'll go clean right now, I'll take my leave, Your Highness!!"

Seeing that things were not going well, Elly quickly fled.

She hadn't run far when she tripped, rolled several times, and ended up falling down the stairs, tumbling down like a ball.

The sight was so bizarre that it seemed like a stunt, impossible to achieve without a single mistake.

"Really, this Elly needs to be closely supervised," Sera shook her head.

Xia Yi's attention wasn't on Elly at all.

She kept her back to Sera, too embarrassed to turn around.

Xia Yi remained silent.

So did Sera.

However, Xia Yi could clearly feel the gaze of her personal maid fixed on her, obviously hesitating, trying to organize her thoughts, stopping and wanting to speak, pondering—

"…Swiss roll?"

The maid's playful nature finally couldn't help but burst forth, gently uttering these two words.

"Ah!!!"

Xia Yi instantly steamed up, ran away without looking back, and with the fastest speed, dashed back to her room. She closed the door, took off her shoes, jumped into bed in one go, and hid under her covers.

Her white-socked little feet stuck out, kicking around in embarrassment, and the extremely ashamed little princess exclaimed:

"I never want to see anyone again!!"

…

Several days later.

In the capital of the Rhine Kingdom.

"Mr. Daniel, today's check-up is finished."

After conducting a routine examination, the doctor smiled at Daniel:

"Your recovery is progressing rapidly. The injuries you sustained in the Dragon Kingdom have left no aftereffects. In a few days, you'll be able to leave the hospital."

"Thank you," Daniel nodded.

"Mr. Daniel, there's something else. Someone wishes to see you."

"Is it those reporters from the newspapers? I'm not interested…"

Daniel was about to refuse when a man appeared at the door, interrupting him.

"It's me."

A middle-aged man with a cigarette in his mouth looked at Daniel.

"Sir, this is a no-smoking area!" the doctor reminded.

"Sorry, it's a habit."

The middle-aged man threw the cigarette on the floor and stamped it out.

Despite the doctor's dissatisfaction, he still got up and left Daniel's room. He couldn't afford to offend the man's status, after all, he was a subordinate of the Rhine Kingdom's higher-ups.

"Why are you here? Matt." Daniel asked nonchalantly.

"Of course, I'm here to see how you're recovering on behalf of the leadership. Those guys, they just order us around all day, ah, the life of a worker is tough~"

Matt pulled over a chair and sat down.

The two spoke with a familiar tone.

Matt could be considered a messenger for the higher echelons of the Rhine Kingdom, sometimes relaying tasks assigned by the higher-ups.

"Daniel, do you know? Your popularity in the Rhine Kingdom is very high now. You haven't been reading the newspapers and reports during this time, have you?"

"I haven't been looking at those. I've just been focusing on healing."

"Here, take a look for yourself."

Matt took out a newspaper and handed it to Daniel.

Daniel opened it and saw that the headlines were all about him.

'The Legacy of the Sword! The disciple of the Sword Saint, Daniel, led an elite exploration team deep into the Dragon Kingdom, encountered the brutal Silver Dragon Princess, fought valiantly, severely wounded the evil dragon race, and led the entire team back alive!!'

He read it from beginning to end and frowned.

"Matt, these reports are not true. I was defeated by the Silver Dragon Princess and passed out. I don't know what happened after that."

Daniel pointed to the content.

It described how Daniel single-handedly turned the tide, using his exquisite swordsmanship to severely injure the Silver Dragon Princess, making a miraculous comeback, and leading the elite exploration team out of the Dragon Kingdom.

"What does it matter?" Matt shrugged, "The Rhine Kingdom has started to promote your achievements. After all, our exploration teams that venture into the Dragon Kingdom rarely return unscathed. You led your team through an encounter with the formidable dragon race, and not only did you prevent any of your teammates from dying, but you also brought everyone back alive. It's nothing short of a miracle."

"That's not the whole truth," Daniel insisted.

"People don't care about that. They want to believe what they see. You don't need to explain too much; it's not good for anyone," Matt said, patting Daniel's shoulder lightly.

"Aren't you always trying to catch up to your teacher? The higher-ups are very pleased and have decided to promote you further. Soon, your status will rise, and you'll be even closer to your teacher. It's a good thing."

Daniel couldn't bring himself to feel happy.

To be honest, the sword strike he had put all his effort into hadn't even come close to defeating the Silver Dragon Princess. She was not only stronger in terms of power, but her swordsmanship was also far superior to his.

He had lost thoroughly.

At the time, Daniel had no sense of having injured the opponent, so when he woke up and his teammates recounted what had happened after he had passed out, he was very surprised.

"I always feel there's something… fishy about it."

"Don't think too much, Daniel! It's already surprising enough that the Sword Saint could defeat the dragon race. Now his disciple can fight against the dragon race too. It's very uplifting news!"

"In reality, the Silver Dragon Princess I encountered was extremely proficient in swordsmanship. She was strong, completely overpowering me in that domain."

"Oh?"

Matt's expression became serious, and he narrowed his eyes.

"Actually, Daniel, the reason the higher-ups sent me to see you today was to ask about this matter. During your fight with the Silver Dragon Princess, you suddenly called out the name of the Sword Saint. They want you to explain in detail."

Daniel pondered for a while before slowly saying, "I don't know if it was just my imagination, but the swordsmanship used by the Silver Dragon Princess felt very similar to my teacher's."

"Could it be a coincidence, or perhaps a misperception on your part?"

"I…"

Daniel hesitated.

"A dragon race disciple taught by the Sword Saint?" Matt asked.

"Don't you think your question is absurd?" Daniel countered, "How could humans and dragons coexist peacefully? The dragon race despises us humans; they are an evil race that has always threatened us."

"True, that speculation is tantamount to questioning the Sword Saint's character. My apologies, it was disrespectful of me. Forget I asked. So, aside from taking a disciple, is there any other possibility?"

Suddenly, a wildly improbable idea flashed through Daniel's mind.

Could it be possible that the white-haired dragon loli was actually his teacher?

No, no, no, no, no!

What am I thinking?

Daniel almost wanted to punch himself. No matter how rich his imagination was, he couldn't indulge in such baseless fantasies.

That was even more outrageous than Matt's speculation.

"I don't know if I was too nervous at the time or if I mistook her for someone else… In any case, I'm not sure. The only thing I can be certain of is that the Silver Dragon Princess's swordsmanship is very strong," Daniel said, feeling confused.

"Is that so? I understand. Calm down for now, don't think about those things, and focus on recovering."

Daniel nodded, then asked, "Will I have a chance to see my teacher again?"

"Of course, your performance has pleased the higher-ups, and they will arrange a meeting for you. Just wait for my notification," Matt said with a smile, "You know how busy the Sword Saint is; I don't even get a chance to speak with him."

"Alright."

Daniel felt a sense of melancholy. It had been a long time since he had last seen his teacher.

After returning from the Dragon Kingdom, the human Sword Saint had changed a lot, becoming mysterious in his whereabouts. Apart from some necessary occasions, he rarely appeared in public, and even his former students had little opportunity to meet him.

When was the last time he spoke with his teacher? It had been years, hadn't it?

He was almost starting to forget.

But perhaps this was for the best. After all, his teacher was a hero of the Rhine Kingdom. It was normal for him to be busy.

"Well, I'll be going now. I won't disturb your rest any longer."

Matt stood up, ready to go back and report to the higher-ups. As he walked out of the room, he bumped into a set of hard armor, turning his forehead red.

He was about to scold the person for not watching where they were going, but as he looked up, he was taken aback, and his voice faltered.

"The Sword Saint? What brings you here!"
