"Your Highness, I know everything! The other maids told me that you took the initiative to go to Her Majesty the Queen today, confessed your true feelings, and asked Her Majesty the Queen to feed you cake! I'm so happy!"
Ellie was quite proud of herself.
"Your Highness the Princess has such a lovely side, so of course I have to let the entire Dragon Palace know! So in the afternoon, I told everyone I met about all these things. Now everyone in the Dragon Palace knows about you! Everyone is discussing how cute you are!"
"what?!"
Xia Yi felt as if struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.
The majestic image that he had worked so hard to build up among the dragon clan has now been completely destroyed because of this guy Ai Li.
No wonder the people I met on the street just now looked at me in very strange ways. There was no respect at all. They basically regarded me as a mascot!
But I really felt so wronged. It was not my intention at that time. It was just a helpless sacrifice I made just to change the subject.
The most important thing is that this situation cannot be explained at all. If it is really explained clearly, it will bring more trouble.
Now everyone must have misunderstood me and must think that I am a stupid loli who likes to act like a spoiled child and says one thing and means another!
"you you……!"
Xia Yi was anxious and embarrassed, and she almost wanted to rush up and grab Ai Li's cheek and beat her up.
When she was about to take action, a familiar voice sounded behind her.
"your Highness."
"Sierra!"
"Sera...sister." Ellie shrank her head.
Sera asked, "Ally, is the mission accomplished?"
"..."
"You didn't complete the cleaning task you were responsible for this afternoon. Instead, you ran around everywhere and chatted with everyone you met. You are so negligent. Do you not want to be a regular employee?"
"Wow! I-I'll go clean it up right now. I'll take my leave first, Princess!!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ai Li ran away.
He hadn't run a few steps when he somersaulted and rolled several times, and happened to fall on the stairs, rolling all the way down like a ball.
It makes people feel that the operation is done at full capacity. If there is even the slightest mistake, such a bizarre program effect cannot be achieved.
"Really, this Ellie needs to be supervised." Sera shook her head.
Xia Yi's attention was not on Ai Li at all.
She had her back to Sera the whole time, too embarrassed to turn around.
"..."
"..."
Xia Yi didn't say anything.
Sera didn't say anything either.
However, Xia Yi could clearly feel that the maid's eyes were focused on her. She was obviously hesitant to speak. She sorted out her words, stopped talking, and thought for a while -
“…Swiss roll?”
The maid's humorous nature finally broke out and she whispered these three words.
"Wow!!!"
Steam suddenly came out of Xia Yi's head. She ran away without looking back, rushed back to her room as fast as she could, closed the door, took off her shoes, got into bed in one go, and hid in her quilt.
The little princess, with her white silk feet exposed, kicked around everywhere. She was so ashamed that she shouted:
"I don't want to see anyone anymore!!"
……
a few days later.
Rhine Kingdom, capital.
"Mr. Daniel, today's inspection is over."
After the doctor gave Daniel a regular checkup, he smiled and said to him:
"Your body is recovering very quickly. The injuries you received in the Dragon Kingdom did not leave any sequelae. You will be able to be discharged from the hospital in a few days."
"Thank you." Daniel nodded.
"Mr. Daniel, let me also tell you that someone wants to see you."
"Those reporters from the newspapers? I'm not interested..."
Just as Daniel was about to refuse, a man appeared outside the door and interrupted 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, I'm used to it."
The middle-aged man threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out.
Although the doctor had many complaints, he still stood up and left Daniel's room. He couldn't afford to offend this man because he was a subordinate of the Rhine State's top officials.
"Why are you here, Matt?" Daniel asked as if it was nothing unusual.
"Of course, I'm here to help the senior leaders come and see if you've recovered. Those guys order us around all day long. Sigh, it's so hard for workers~"
Maitra pulled over a chair and sat down.
The tone between the two was familiar.
Matt can be considered an envoy of the Rhine Kingdom's top leaders. Sometimes, he would be asked to make announcements when the top leaders assign tasks.
"Daniel, do you know that you are very popular in Rhine Country now? Have you not read the newspapers and related reports during this period?"
"I didn't look at that. I was just concentrating on healing my injuries."
“Let’s go out on our own.”
Matt took out the newspaper and stuffed it into Daniel's hand.
Daniel opened it and saw that all the headlines were about himself.
"The inheritance of the sword! Daniel, the disciple of the Sword Master, led an elite exploration team deep into the Kingdom of Dragons. He encountered the brutal Silver Dragon Princess. He fought unyieldingly, severely damaged the evil dragon clan, and led all members back alive!!"
He read it all over again, frowning.
"Matt, these reports are not true. I was defeated by the Silver Dragon Princess and fainted. I don't know what happened afterwards."
Daniel pointed to what was written on it.
The situation described there was that Daniel single-handedly turned the tide, used his superb sword skills to severely injure the Silver Dragon Princess, turned the tables, and led the elite exploration team to evacuate from the Dragon Kingdom.
"So what?" Matt shrugged. "The Rhine Kingdom has begun to publicize your achievements. After all, the exploration teams we formed into the Dragon Kingdom rarely return safely. This time you led the team and encountered the terrifying dragon tribe. Not only did you not let any teammates die, but you also brought everyone back alive. It's simply a miracle."
“That’s not the whole truth.”
"People don't care about that, they just want to see what they see. You don't need to explain it, it's not good for everyone."
Matt patted Daniel's shoulder gently.
"Haven't you always wanted to catch up with your teacher? The higher-ups are very happy and have continued to promote you. By then, your status will be further improved, and you will be closer to your teacher. This is a good thing."
Daniel really couldn't be happy.
To be honest, he used all his strength to strike with the sword, but was completely unable to defeat the Silver Dragon Princess. Not only was the opponent stronger than him, but her swordsmanship was also much better than his.
He lost completely.
At that time, Daniel had no real feeling of hurting anyone, so when he woke up and his teammates described what happened after he fainted, he was very surprised.
"I always feel like there's something... fishy going on."
"Don't think too much, Daniel! It's already amazing that the Sword Master was able to defeat the Dragon Clan. Now his disciples can also fight against the Dragon Clan. This is very exciting news!"
"In fact, the Silver Dragon Princess I met has a very high level of attainment in swordsmanship. She is very strong. In the field of swordsmanship, she has completely crushed me."
"Oh?"
Matt's expression turned serious and he narrowed his eyes.
"Actually, Daniel, the top management asked me to come to you today to ask you this question. When you were fighting with the Silver Dragon Princess, you suddenly called out the name of the Sword Saint. I hope you can explain it in detail."
Daniel pondered for a long time, then slowly said, "I don't know if it's my illusion, but the swordsmanship used by the Silver Dragon Princess feels very similar to that of the teacher."
"Is it possible that it's a coincidence, or your illusion or something like that?"
"I……"
Daniel hesitated.
"Master Sword Saint accepted a dragon as his apprentice and taught him swordsmanship?" Matt asked.
"Don't you think your question is ridiculous?" Daniel retorted, "How can humans and dragons coexist peacefully? Dragons hate us humans very much. They are an evil race that has always harmed us humans."
"Yes, this conjecture is already questioning the character of the Sword Saint. Sorry, I am disrespectful. Just pretend I never asked! Then besides accepting a disciple, are there any other possibilities?"
Suddenly, an extremely bizarre idea emerged in Daniel's mind.
Is there a possibility that the white-haired dragon loli is actually your 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 imagine such nonsense.
This is even more extreme than Matt's guess.
"I don't know if it was because I was too nervous or if it was a mistake... Anyway, I'm not too sure. The only thing I can conclude is that the Silver Dragon Princess is very strong in swordsmanship." Daniel felt very confused.
"Really? I see. Calm down for a moment, stop thinking about those things, and recover well."
Daniel nodded, and then asked, "Will I have a chance to meet the teacher?"
"Yes, if your performance satisfies the senior management, they will arrange it for you. Just wait for my notification," Matt said with a smile, "You also know that the Sword Master is very busy. I haven't even had a chance to talk to him."
