So after the battle, she hid in her room after taking a shower, and she really didn't dare to see anyone.
She didn't even dare to think about how terrible it would be if Xia Lulu, who was a very funny person, teased her!
But she really wanted to know, after the battle, would Xia Lulu really agree to let her go to the Black Stone Country? This was related to whether she could run away from home...
dong dong dong.
There was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Xia Yi was a little nervous, afraid that it was Xia Lulu who came to laugh at her.
Fortunately, it was his personal maid, Sera.
"Your Highness, it's me, Sera."
"Oh..." Xia Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "Sera, come in."
"Yes."
Sera walked in, and the first thing she said was about the little princess and her concerns.
"Your Highness, regarding whether you can go to the Black Stone Kingdom to defeat the rebel Gudan, Her Majesty the Queen has discussed with Guya and the result has been reached."
39 A genius in dual cultivation?
Xia Yi pricked up her ears and cast an expectant look at Sera.
"Sera, what was the result?"
Sera smiled and said, "Congratulations, Princess, you have been recognized by the Lizard Tribe. Prince Guya agrees that you can go alone to defeat the rebel Gudan of the Black Stone Kingdom."
"Great!!"
Xia Yi raised her hands happily. Everything was going according to her plan. Could it be God's will?
Never had such a great start!
Please cheer for me and applaud me!
She already felt that it wouldn't be long before she could leave the dragon clan and return to the human world.
"However, Her Majesty the Queen has an additional condition. In order to ensure your personal safety, someone must accompany you to provide protection." Sera added later.
"one person?"
"According to your wishes, the number of guards can continue to increase, but there must be at least one person," Sera explained, "This is the bottom line of Her Majesty the Queen. If you don't agree, she will not agree to your going to the Black Stone Kingdom."
"If I'm alone, it's fine."
Xia Yi thought about it and realized that it was true. How could the dragon clan let her leave alone like that? After all, she was the future heir of the dragon clan.
Although it is somewhat different from what I expected, it is not unacceptable.
"Who's going with me?"
"It's my sister, Lucia," Sera replied.
Lucia?
Xia Yi immediately thought of the smart and capable, serious red-haired maid. In her impression, she didn't seem to appear very often in the Dragon Palace. She seemed to have been responsible for various tasks all the time and had excellent abilities.
"Your Highness, do you need me to accompany you?" Sera asked proactively, with some worry in her words.
After all, they have been together for so many years, and Xia Yi has never traveled far away, so it is natural that her personal maid wants to go with her.
Even though I feel a little reluctant, I'm sorry, Sera! I've made up my mind!
"No, Sera, I have passed the royal trial, and the dragon clan has begun to change their opinion of me. The next step is to produce actual results and consolidate my position. If I let too many people protect me, it will affect the dragon clan's evaluation of my trip to the Black Stone Kingdom." Xia Yi said.
"Okay, Princess, I understand. Please keep going." Sera looked a little lonely.
……
In the reception room.
Xia Yi changed into a new set of clothes and met with the lizard tribe again. She needed to discuss matters concerning the Black Stone Kingdom with Gu Ya. From now on, the full responsibility for this matter has been given to her, and other dragon tribes will not interfere.
"Good evening, Princess."
Gu Ya bowed politely, and the other lizardmen followed suit.
"Good evening, Prince Guya."
Xia Yi responded with standard etiquette and then sat down.
Everyone has changed their attitude towards Xia Yi, especially Heiya, whose eyes are full of respect. It should be that Xia Yi has really convinced him.
"Princess Xia Yi's strength is truly outstanding. Even my strongest attack cannot match it. With your support, I think defeating Gudan's army should be a foregone conclusion."
Black Fang asked with concern:
"But I still don't quite understand, Princess Xia Yi, are you a magician or a swordsman?"
"Huh? This..."
"Oh, I see. You must be practicing dual cultivation, right? In the case of dual cultivation, you have shown outstanding talent in magic, and your attainments in swordsmanship are even more amazing. You are worthy of being the daughter of the Silver Dragon Queen. You are truly gifted and extraordinary."
If you have 100 points of energy, 50 points for magic and 50 points for swordsmanship, then the final result may be that the achievements in both are not high. A normal person's thinking is focused on one of them, while the other one is just for fun out of interest.
Except for a very small number of geniuses among geniuses, no one would choose to practice dual cultivation.
Xia Yi is a special case. After all, she devoted herself to studying swordsmanship in her previous life, and her level in swordsmanship is not low, but her hardware conditions are not up to standard.
He has no memories in this life and has been learning magic. He has the bloodline of the silver dragon royal family and has an outstanding talent in magic.
After recovering his memory, it became such a delicate dual cultivation situation.
She didn't know how to explain it, so she could only brush it off.
"Ahaha, thank you so much for the compliment, but let's discuss the situation in the Black Stone Kingdom first. After all, defeating Gudan is the highest priority right now." Xia Yi changed the subject.
Hearing this, the lizardmen's expressions became serious.
"Princess Xia Yi, you are right, Black Fang, please take out the map and I will explain it to Her Royal Highness in person.
Under Gu Ya's order, Heiya took out a map and spread it in front of Xia Yi.
Looking at the power map above, Xia Yi has roughly understood the current situation of the Black Stone Kingdom. Most of the areas have been occupied by Gudan, and only a small part of the forces are left on Guya's side. They have been beaten back step by step and have retreated from the country to a tiny piece of land on the border.
"The situation doesn't look good." Xia Yi gave her own evaluation.
Gu Ya replied helplessly: "It is like this, since most of my father's subordinates have joined Gu Dan, their power is growing, and the fighting power around me is getting less and less... But at the same time, we also have a great chance."
"Oh?"
"The people who gathered around Gu Dan were a mixed bunch, all with their own agenda. They had not followed him from the beginning, and they were not of one mind. They were helping whoever won, and they only hoped to gain benefits from it."
"If Gu Dan falls, then these people will turn to you?" Xia Yi asked.
Prince Guya looked at General Black Fang.
The sturdy lizardman cleared his throat and said:
"Now our only remaining territory has been surrounded by Gudan's army. Gudan is eager for quick success and believes that he has won the battle. In order to ensure his absolute position after the war, he ordered others to surround the area while he himself plans to break in and seize the prince's head. We just need to take advantage of this opportunity, expose the flaws, lure the enemy in, kill Gudan, and then show others that we have gained the support of the Dragon Kingdom. They will know they cannot defeat us and will retreat."
"Your Highness, Black Fang and I must rush back to the territory as soon as possible. We have come to the Dragon Kingdom secretly to seek help, and we don't have much time left. Otherwise, if we are discovered by Gu Dan, everything will be over!" Gu Ya added.
"In that case, let's set off as soon as possible." Xia Yi nodded.
……
In the Dragon Palace, inside the garden.
A black cat was lying on Xia Lulu's white thighs, and she was rubbing the cat's head with a complicated look in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, I'm back," Lucia walked to Xia Lulu's side and reported, "The discussion has ended. Her Royal Highness has decided to leave immediately. I will also go to the Black Stone Kingdom with Her Royal Highness."
"Okay, I see."
The Silver Dragon Queen raised her head and looked at the loyal royal maid and was silent for a long time.
"Lucia, I have a secret mission for you."
40 There is a ghost
Lucia stood beside the queen, waiting for her orders.
"Please tell me, Your Majesty. I will complete the task no matter what it is."
"In fact, this mission is very simple," Xia Lulu said slowly, "While you accompany Xia Yi to the Black Stone Country, you must carry out whatever orders she gives you."
From a literal point of view, Xia Lulu's order seemed a bit unnecessary. Obeying orders was the duty of the royal maids.
But Lucia had served Xia Lulu for many years and understood that this order was of great importance.
She half-knelt down towards Xia Lulu and replied loyally, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Xia Yi might be a little willful."
"I will satisfy any willfulness of Her Royal Highness, please rest assured."
"Very good." Xia Lulu nodded with satisfaction.
"Your Majesty, why don't you send my sister to accompany the princess?" Lucia asked, "Sera knows the princess better than I do, and has been with her longer than I have, so she is more suitable for this mission."
"…Because Sera will be reluctant to leave Xia Yi."
Having said that, even if Xia Lulu didn't say it explicitly, Lucia could already understand 70% of the situation from her expression.
As a maid serving the royal family, she shouldn't ask too many questions and just need to complete the order. However, Lucia frowned slightly and couldn't help whispering:
"Could it be that you are willing to give it up?"
"..."
The Silver Dragon Queen was stunned. She lowered her eyes and did not answer Lucia.
……
"We should set off, Princess," Lucia reminded, "The Lizard Tribe is already waiting for us outside the palace."
