Old man, I've decided that you'll have to take the blame for me!
"Gran said so," Xia Yi looked away guiltily, "He suddenly mentioned this name to me during class. I had never heard of it before, so it felt very strange."
"It turns out to be Gran. He is really getting old and confused. He even dares to mention this name. It seems that I have to go back to the office and reject his application for magic research funds." Xia Lulu sneered.
Xia Yi mourned for Gran in her heart for three seconds.
But it shouldn't matter. Anyway, Gran's application for magic research funding has been rejected many times. He shouldn't mind not being approved this time!
"...Can't we mention this name?" Xia Yi asked in a low voice.
This is what she cares about. After reading the biography of the late emperor yesterday, she has had many doubts in her mind.
Perhaps only Xia Lulu's personal explanation can resolve these confusions.
She turned her gaze back to Xia Lulu.
"Xia Yi, I didn't expect... that you would actually dare to ask me directly."
82 As an opponent, I recognize
Xia Lulu poured boiling hot water into the teapot to soak the tea leaves. Her movements were elegant and orderly. In Xia Yi's eyes, it was a textbook-level tea art that was pleasing to the eye.
"How much do you know about this name?" asked Xia Lulu.
"I... have only heard of it, but I don't know much."
Xia Yi replied stiffly.
After reading the biography of the previous emperor yesterday, she learned about Frey's life from it.
"A long time ago, Frey was my elder brother. According to seniority, he was your uncle. Your uncle was a hero of the dragon clan and also the favorite heir of the late emperor. It's a pity..."
Xia Lulu paused.
"He lost to me."
Xia Lulu poured the steaming hot black tea into teacups and pushed one of the cups in front of Xia Yi.
Now is the time for mother and daughter to spend time together in private, without any other outsiders.
Perhaps it was because of this that Xia Lulu actually started chatting with Xia Yi.
"Everyone in the world thinks that he is a hero who can lead the Kingdom of Dragons to new heights. What they can see is just what they want to see. But I have completely different ideas from Frey. I cannot agree with him, so I took action."
Xia Yi listened intently, picked up the tea, and was about to drink it when her tongue turned red from the scalding tea.
"It's hot, hot, hot!" Xia Yi stuck out her tongue, tears almost falling.
Xia Lulu was amused by her daughter's clumsy behavior. "Xia Yi, I'll just tell you this. After all, you are still young and not old enough to study the art of imperial power."
"What do you mean I'm still young? Stop bringing this up all the time, okay?"
Xia Yi straightened his bear.
"Xia Yi, what do you think?"
After the tea cooled down a little, Xia Lulu picked up the tea and tasted it slowly. Although she looked like she didn't care, her eyes kept drifting towards Xia Yi.
"It doesn't matter. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. All that is in the past anyway. Frey lost to you, and now you are the queen who rules the Dragon Kingdom." Xia Yi said.
Xia Lulu blinked, "Are you acknowledging me?"
"Uh...what recognition? This is...the fact! I'm just stating the facts. Anyway, you've already won, so what others say is useless!" Xia Yi scratched his cheek.
Am I really approving of Xia Lulu?
In the past, in the eyes of the dragon clan, Frey was a hero worshipped by many people, right?
But those deeds were invisible and intangible to Xia Yi. Instead, she had been paying attention to Xia Lulu since she was a child.
Xia Lulu saw everything with his own eyes.
Therefore, she didn't have much identification with Frey from the bottom of her heart.
A dragon hero?
What does it have to do with me?
Anyway, he's already buried, so it's useless for others to call back his soul.
As for recognizing Xia Lulu...
An idea emerged in Xia Yi's mind.
Thinking about it this way, Xia Lulu defeated me. He is indeed very powerful and an enemy worth surpassing. He is better than any opponent I have fought before.
My recognition of Xia Lulu must be the affirmation of my opponent, and definitely not from other aspects.
Well, that must be the case.
It’s not wrong to think so.
The little princess finally figured it out and started laughing.
"As an opponent, Xia Lulu, your strength is indeed outstanding. You are someone worth surpassing. I agree!"
Xia Yi felt that the strange emotion lingering in her heart disappeared.
What Frey?
Go aside!
I don’t care about you. Anyway, Xia Lulu is now the Silver Dragon Queen. No matter what others think, I accept it anyway!
"Okay, Xia Lulu, let's not worry about that Frey." Xia Yi waved his hands.
But at this time, Xia Yi did not notice that there was some change in Xia Lulu's eyes when she looked at her, and they became softer.
"Daughter, is there anything else you want to talk to me about?" Xia Lulu said.
"Ah? Well..."
To be honest, Xia Yi only now realized that she was actually sitting in front of Xia Lulu. Wasn't this like having a tea party with her?
I……
He was actually having a tea party with his enemy, and they were talking and laughing?
Why did it suddenly become like this!
Xia Yi finally reacted.
"No, Xia Lulu, you and I are enemies! The matter between us is not over yet!"
Xia Yi stood up suddenly with a serious expression.
"Oh?" Xia Lulu smiled.
"Don't laugh with me here, Xia Lulu, I know, I am the sword master of the human race, I want to know, just to defeat you--"
"Would you like to eat? It would be a shame not to have some dessert with afternoon tea."
Just like a magician, Xia Lulu had a small box in her hand, which obviously contained dessert.
Humph, this woman, does she think I’m a stupid loli?
Am I, the indomitable swordsman of the human race, so easy to please?
Xia Yi really wanted to laugh. This method didn't work on her at all.
She wanted to refuse verbally, but was stunned when she saw Xia Lulu open the small box of dessert.
It’s osmanthus cake…
It's sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
It’s osmanthus cake!!
Xia Lulu picked up the osmanthus cake with her slender fingers and stretched it towards Xia Yi.
Xia Yi clenched her hands into fists, feeling very unconvinced. This action showed that she was totally disrespecting herself. Do you think I will give in like this?
But...osmanthus cake is really fragrant!
Xia Yi opened her mouth and ate the osmanthus cake that Xia Lulu fed her.
Delicious～～
The silver-haired loli held her cheeks with a satisfied smile, and before she knew it, she sat down again and began to wait for her mother to feed her.
After all, I haven't eaten osmanthus cake for a while, so there's no need to mess with my favorite thing.
As for the fight with Xia Lulu, well, we can put it aside for now. It won’t matter for a little while!
In this way, the little princess and the Silver Dragon Queen happily enjoyed their leisure time of afternoon tea in the back garden.
When it was almost over, Lucia took the initiative to ask to see Xia Lulu.
After Lucia and Xia Lulu saluted, they also expressed their gratitude to Xia Yi.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is here too. Good afternoon."
"Cough cough!"
When Xia Yi saw other people coming and thought about her behavior just now, she felt a little embarrassed.
"Is there anything important?" Xia Lulu asked.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter for you. I will leave now and not disturb you and Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The smart and capable maid placed a letter on the tea table and left.
Xia Lulu opened the letter, read it quickly, and thought, "Oh, so that's how it is..."
"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Xia Yi was very curious.
Xia Lulu put the letter down, looked at his daughter, and uttered a puzzling speech.
"Xia Yi, do you want to meet your old friends? For example, the little nine-tailed fox you wanted to raise when you were a child."
