NOVEL WEB Volume 2 Chapter 171
171. Sack Over the Loli
Xia Yi was enjoying her breakfast time.
In front of her was a large plate of food.
Dragons were considered quite strong among the Superior Races, but their daily energy requirements were also higher than other races. Each meal required a large amount of food, and they had particularly big appetites.
After eating, even if they did nothing and just lay on the ground, they would soon become hungry again.
Other races might have a lighter breakfast… but not dragons. They had to eat their fill, starting with meat in the morning!
“Mm, delicious—”
Xia Yi put the beef into her mouth.
Eating meat is such a joy—
“Princess, do you think this is enough?” Sera asked.
The implication was that if it wasn’t enough, she could go and make more.
After some thought, Xia Yi gave a tactful reply.
“Sera, make a bit more!”
“As you command.”
Sera understood very well how much “a bit” was and prepared to make another table’s worth.
“Sigh, no clues about the seed.”
Xia Yi thought about this matter but had no solution.
She could only put the seed away for now. Perhaps in the future, by some coincidence, this seed might have an unexpected effect.
If this seed was a useless thing, it wouldn’t be worth Miu Miu deliberately doing misleading actions to conceal it and give the seed to her.
Xia Yi finished what was in front of her but was still a bit hungry.
Fortunately, Sera’s cooking skills were exquisite and efficient. She soon brought out the freshly prepared dishes, filling the table.
Seeing this, Xia Yi smiled.
As expected of her personal maid who had served her for many years, she could always accurately and excellently complete her orders.
No one knew her better than Sera!
“Princess, I hope you’re satisfied,” Sera said.
“Mmhmm, satisfied. I’ll give Sera a hundred praises!”
Xia Yi continued eating.
Sera waited on the side.
When Xia Yi was almost done eating, Sera spoke, “Princess, I may need to leave for a bit later. If you have any needs, you can instruct the other members of the Royal Maid Corps.”
“Sera, do you have a task?”
“It’s not a particularly special task, just some small matters. I need to go visit someone.”
“Who?”
“I’m going to see Elly. She’s still in confinement today.”
“I remember Elly also participated in the parade yesterday. Why is she in confinement?”
Sera explained, “Princess, yesterday was an exception to let Elly out. She made a mistake, so she must reflect on her actions in the confinement room.”
Ah, that’s right!!
Xia Yi suddenly remembered something. She seemed to have gotten Elly into trouble, causing the little green dragon maid to commit a big mistake and now being locked up in the confinement room.
“Sera, you don’t need to go. I’ll go see Elly later!”
…
After breakfast, Xia Yi didn’t go directly to find Elly but went to the Royal Maid Corps’ break room. Coincidentally, Lucia was there.
“Lucia, good morning,” Xia Yi greeted her.
“Princess?”
Lucia was a bit surprised by Xia Yi’s sudden visit and hurriedly bowed in response.
“Good morning. May I ask if you have any instructions?”
“Elly is currently reflecting on her actions in the confinement room, right?”
“Yes, that’s correct. She failed to complete her work and even damaged a corridor in the Dragon Palace, so punishment is warranted.”
“Lucia, I think Elly’s confinement can be canceled!”
“Princess, why are you suddenly pleading for Elly? This was her own fault.”
Xia Yi averted her gaze, feeling a bit guilty. “Elly has a promising future! I think she can be given a chance. Since she has already reflected, it means she has repented and mended her ways. The effect of turning over a new leaf has been achieved!”
“You…”
Lucia narrowed her eyes and made some guesses in her heart, but she didn’t say much.
“Very well, since you say so, we’ll give Elly this chance.”
“Lucia, thank you for your cooperation!”
…
“Holding a steamed bun in hand!”
“Not a drop of oil in the dish!!”
“It’s too painful, too painful!!”
The miserable little green dragon maid lay on the bars of the confinement room, wailing miserably.
Accompanying the opening of the door, a ray of light fell into the dark room from outside.
In Elly’s sight, a silver-haired dragon loli appeared. She seemed to radiate light, the most dazzling existence in Elly’s world.
“Is this… Princess?!” Elly couldn’t believe her eyes.
“Elly, I’ve come to save you!”
Xia Yi walked over and unlocked the iron door with a key.
“Alright, you’re free now. The punishment is over.”
“What?”
Elly was stunned, staring blankly at Xia Yi.
“Why are you still staying here? Elly, don’t tell me you actually like this creepy place? I’ve already talked to Lucia. The punishment for you has been canceled.”
Xia Yi pulled Elly’s wrist and led her out the confinement room.
Elly breathed in the fresh outside air and basked in the sunlight. She spread her arms, knelt on the ground, and embraced her freedom, overjoyed to tears.
“I’m out, finally out. I thought I would have to spend the rest of my life in the confinement room! All of this is thanks to Princess’s help!”
She stood up, looking at Xia Yi, her eyes filled with immense gratitude.
“Thank you, Princess. You saved me from the confinement room. You’re the person I admire the most. You’re so amazing!!”
“I… I’m not that amazing.”
Xia Yi shyly touched her head.
She seemed to gradually forget that she was the culprit who sent this unlucky little maid to the confinement room.
But Elly didn’t know about this and kept thanking Xia Yi, even regarding her as her savior.
“Princess, how can I repay you?”
“No need. Just do your job well. I don’t need anything.”
“Princess!!” Elly felt like crying even more. “For you to be so selfless and ask for nothing in return, such noble character is truly great!!”
While Xia Yi and Elly were talking, a certain dragon in a certain corner happened to see the two and showed a dangerous smile.
“Oh, what a coincidence- Target, found.”
After Xia Yi spent some effort persuading Elly, she finally convinced her to go back to work.
Elly reluctantly bid farewell to Xia Yi.
As soon as the little green dragon maid left, Xia Yi felt a dangerous aura approaching her. She instinctively turned her head, but before she could see clearly, a sack was put over her head.
The little princess wanted to struggle, but she was immediately restrained, her body immobilized as someone carried her away.
This was… a kidnapping?!
