Is It Funny That The Dragon Slayer Failed And Became The Dragon Princess?

179. Allowance, Gone

Hum hum hum—

Xia Yi stayed in her room, sitting on the bed, happily swinging her legs.

She was in a very good mood today.

Because today was a special day.

“Sera!”

“What are your orders, Princess?”

The maid attending Xia Yi inquired, “Princess, do you need me to sneak out and buy you snacks?”

“What snacks! I’m not some glutton!” Xia Yi said dismissively. “Do you know what happened yesterday?”

“Yesterday?”

Sera pinched her chin and started recalling.

“Princess, I heard that yesterday, Atiya suddenly went berserk and smashed the corridor.”

“Right, right, right. Then do you know why she would suddenly do such a thing?”

“This… I’m not sure.” Sera shook her head.

Xia Yi stood up. Her little feet wrapped in white silk stepped on the soft bed, making it sink. Her ahoge happily bounced.

“That’s because yesterday, Atiya fought with me.”

“Why would Atiya do that?”

Sera was surprised.

“Atiya wanted to help me break through to the Fourth Tier. Guess what the result was…”

“With Princess’s strength and talent, if there’s some pressure, you’ll definitely succeed in breaking through.”

“That’s right, Sera really understands me!”

Xia Yi put her hands on her hips, making herself look very imposing. She puffed out her round little mochi, looking quite proud.

“Now, I’ve reached the Fourth Tier!”

Her demeanor clearly said—

Come praise me! Praise me a lot!

“Princess, you’re truly remarkable! Reaching the Fourth Tier at your age is extremely rare… When I was your age, I hadn’t even started leaving home.” Sera didn’t hold back her praise.

“I-It’s not that amazing… Ehehe—”

“No, Princess, you’re really amazing. When Her Majesty was your age, she hadn’t even reached the Fourth Tier. In the entire history of the dragon race, there hasn’t been a Dragon King who achieved such accomplishments at a young age,” Sera said. “Plus, with the means and decisions you displayed at the southern border, as well as your current strength, you have the highest potential in history!”

“Highest potential in history?!”

Xia Yi was overjoyed. Especially when she heard Sera say that Xia Lulu wasn’t as good as her. She felt like, Xia Lulu, you’re nothing special!

I, Xia Yi, am the strongest!

The little princess wanted to hug her dragon plushie and roll around on the bed.

But for the sake of her elegant and graceful princess image, she had to be mindful in front of Sera.

“Sera, what gift would you like?”

“A gift?” Sera was puzzled by the sudden topic change. “Princess, why say that all of a sudden?”

“Although it’s very worth celebrating that I successfully broke through yesterday… What I want to talk about is related to today!” Xia Yi said. “Today is the day I receive my allowance—”

“I see, Princess. Since you performed so outstandingly yesterday, Her Majesty the Queen will surely give you a lot of allowance as a reward.”

“Hmph, of course!”

Xia Yi nodded, taking it for granted.

“Come to think of it, Sera has helped me a lot, so I want to give Sera a gift. So, what do you want? The omnipotent Xia Yi has a lot of allowance and can satisfy any wish!”

“I don’t need allowance. Being able to stay by the side of the cute Princess and watch you… Ahem, being able to stay by your side, I’m already very satisfied.”

“How can that be, Sera? I won’t allow you to use such words,” Xia Yi pointed at Sera. “Also, don’t call me cute. Change the word to majestic!”

“As you command, the infinitely majestic Princess.” Sera bowed.

Xia Yi felt something was off with that prefix. Was Sera implying something?

“State your wish!”

“Princess, I really don’t have any…” Sera paused. “If you insist on giving, then please give me a hug.”

“It can’t be helped. Then I shall bestow you a hug!”

Xia Yi walked in front of Sera and opened her arms, hugging her.

She hugged the big sister maid for a while before letting go.

“Thank you, Princess.” Sera smiled.

“As long as Sera is happy. Next… I’m going to collect my allowance!”

…

Xia Yi arrived at the Dragon Palace’s finance department.

“Allowance! Allowance!”

The little princess stood in front of the window. Due to the distance between her height and the window, she stood on tiptoe.

“Princess, please wait a moment. Let me confirm… Yep, today is the day for your allowance.”

After confirming, the staff member adjusted his glasses.

“Are you sure you want to collect it today?”

“Yes!”

Xia Yi replied affirmatively.

She hadn’t gone out to play for a while. After collecting her allowance, she would apply to go enjoy herself in the capital—

For example, buying the latest limited edition comic books!

Booking the most famous dessert shop and eating all the desserts to her heart’s content!

And, and…

While Xia Yi was still fantasizing, the finance department staff handed over the money pouch.

“Princess, here’s your allowance!”

“Mm!”

Xia Yi took the pouch. Originally, she had a smiling face, but upon opening it, she froze.

“Why… are there only a few copper coins! How can my allowance be so little? Did you calculate wrong?”

“Princess, my apologies. I indeed made a mistake!” The finance department staff replied nervously.

“I knew it!”

Xia Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, the finance department staff took back the pouch and took out an IOU.

“Princess, according to the calculation, after deducting this month’s allowance, you still owe us some money. Please make up for it as soon as possible.”

“What?!”

Xia Yi looked at the IOU and trembled with anger. Even if she added up all her savings, it wouldn’t be enough.

She was so angry that she jumped onto the counter and summoned the Rose Staff, preparing to cast Fireball.

“Princess? Please, please be rational!!”

“Rational? What do you want me to be rational with! Do you know how important allowance is to me? My happy life all comes from my allowance!”

The money Xia Yi usually used to buy comics was her allowance that she entrusted Sera with.

No allowance meant no more comics!

How could anyone accept that?

“Princess, this is the order of Her Majesty!” The finance department staff shouted his grievance. “Yesterday, the Queen ordered your allowance be deducted.”

“Xia Lulu?”

Upon hearing this, Xia Yi trembled with anger.

Damn Silver Dragon Queen, how dare she ruin my happy life!

She jumped off the counter and rushed out the door.

“Xia Lulu, I’m going to settle the score with you!!”
