late at night.
"Woo~"
The little princess of the dragon clan was feeling sleepy at this moment. Her eyes were half open and her head was moving up and down like a chicken pecking at rice. She looked very silly as she tried so hard to stay awake.
"Are you sleepy, Xia Yi?" Xia Lulu pinched her daughter's soft cheek.
“No, no!”
Xia Yi rubbed her eyes and said stubbornly.
"Not sleepy at all! Awooo..."
"You've started to yawn. Let's call it a day today. It's time to go back to your room and rest, Xia Yi."
"No, I still want to be with my mother!."
"Xia Yi, do you remember what day tomorrow is?"
"……I remember."
Tomorrow is Xia Yi’s royal trial.
The dragon clan is a powerful race that respects strength of all else. Xia Lulu not only needs to intimidate the outside world, but also needs to be ready to face the challenges of the internal dragon clan at all times.
As the future heir of the dragon clan, Xia Yi also needs to demonstrate her own qualifications to all the clan members and prove her credentials with her own strength.
Even though she was a pampered little princess, she was not immune to this trial.
If Xia Lulu's offspring is deem a weakling, then it will also visibly affect Xia Yi's future reputation among the dragon's in the dragon clan...
In short, it will changed from a dragon clan with a promising future to a cute mascot instead.
"Then go and have a good rest and adjust your state. Xia Yi, can I wait for your good news in the palace?" Xia Lulu touched Xia Yi's head.
"Mother, I will definitely show my people how outstanding I am as someone with the Christie's bloodline!"
"hmm,Are you really that confident? I heard that you usually play around a lot and rarely pass any tests~."
"I haven't been playing all the time! I think it's okay..." Xia Yi's voice sounded a little guilty, "Maybe..."
...
The next day.
After saying goodbye to her mother last night, Xia Yi returned to her room and fell asleep quickly to prepare for the trial the next day.
She had a weird dream.
It was still a strange dream. In that dream, she seemed to be a swordsman, constantly honing her strength and challenging all kinds of powerful enemies and foes...
"What a ridiculous dream. No wonder everyone says that dreams and reality are truly complete opposites."
Xia Yi disagreed.
She has been good at magic since she was a child and has never touched a sword, let alone practice kendo or any kind of martial art's. There is absolutely no possibility for her to be a swordsman Or a man.
However, as the little princess of the dragon clan, Xia Yi will not be distracted by such things.
With the help of the servants, Xia Yi changed into a combat dress.
After all, today's royal trial is her top priority.
Hundreds of years ago, Xialulu won the trial elegantly and beautifully, and won the recognition of the entire dragon clan.
She thought that since her mother could do it, it would definitely cause criticism if she her daughter couldn't.
Therefore, in today's battle, She have to only win, not lose.
....
The dragon clan was entrenched in all four corners of the arena, just to witness with their own eyes how the little princess of the dragon clan performed in the royal trial.
"It's really exciting. How strong is our little princess of the dragon clan be?"
"Princess Xia Yi is the only daughter of Her Majesty the Queen. Since Her Majesty the Queen is so powerful, her offspring cannot be a weak dragon."
"Yeah, it would be interesting if the strength displayed by Princess Xia Yi was not satisfactory."
Listen to other people's discussions.
Standing in the center of the arena, Xia Yi felt tremendous pressure. This was the first time she had encountered such a scene.
She could imagine what would happen if she failed...
"No, I can't fail."
Xia Yi shook her head to drive away the thought.
I can do it, I can do it!
"Your Highness, are you ready?" The dragon who was presiding over the royal trial stepped forward and asked.
This is big sister sera, from the dragon clan with fiery red hair. She is dressed in a very charming way and has a proud figure. She is a real beauty. She is also a member of the royal maid corps and has served Xia Yi for many years.
"We can start now." Xia Yi nodded, bit her lips, and got ready for battle.
Sera was amused when she saw the princess' nervous look, "Princess, don't be so nervous, relax a little..."
"I'm not nervous!" Xia Yi immediately retorted, "This royal trial is nothing to me. I can easily win it! Watch your words. You have just lost your respect from me!"
"Okay, okay, Princess, you are right!" Sera couldn't help laughing, "Then Princess, are you going to challenge a third-level enemy?"
In this world, there is a standard for judging the strength of the strong.
Starting from the first level, second , third, fourth, fifth, six and so on.
Xia Yi is now a dragon with the strength of the third level.
"Only at the third level, are you looking down on this little princess?" Xia Yi said with disdain.
"Your Highness, the challengers who have participated in the royal trials throughout the ages have always chosen opponents who are at the same level of strength as themselves."
"But there are exceptions!," Xia Yi said, "Mother challenged a fourth-level opponent with the strength of a third-level back then so, right?"
"So are you going to choose a fourth-level enemy? You'd better think about this carefully your highness."
"Don't think about it, just call me up quickly, I can't wait any longer!"
"……very well."
Sera had no choice but to respect Xia Yi's choice, chanted a spell, summoned a huge magic circle on the ground, and then retreated.
After a loud bang, a huge monster appeared in the center of the arena.
It was a giant magic puppet made of precious magic crystal ore, dozens of meters tall. Xia Yi, who was less than 1.5 meters tall, was swallowed up by its immense shadow.
As long as the core is not destroyed, the puppet giant can continuously absorb magic power from the air in their surroundings to repair its body.
What's more, magic itself is difficult to defeat this giant puppet.
This is an out-and-out weapon of war. If the dragon clan really intends to massacre the human race, as long as they release a few large number of giant puppets into the outside world, it will be enough to cause the human race to collapse.
"Her Highness the Princessbis actually challenging a puppet giant of a higher level?"
"Look at the inscriptions on the giant puppet's body. It seems to have extremely high defense against spells. It's a specialized type... Even I'm not sure I can break its defenses."
"This is a tough opponent. Even our dragon clan's Elite guards may not be absolutely sure of defeating the puppet giant."
Woo woo!
Xia Yi began to wail in her heart, and an expression of grievance began to appear on her face.
How come the opponent is a puppet giant with full magic defense? Even if the defense is broken, it can still heal itself non-stop. How can such an outrageous monster be defeated? Isn't this really making things difficult for this princess!
At this time, Sera ran over again.
"Your Highness, It seems I've made the wrong call. How about replacing it with a weaker one instead?"
After hearing Sera's speech, Xia Yi, who had received the elite education of the dragon clan, interrupted her reflexively, "No need! This is good enough. I am very satisfied. Only by defeating strong enemies can I prove my strength!"
Sera was shocked.
Her Royal Highness the Princess's mouth is harder than any magic crystal ore!
But then she thought, if Her Royal Highness the Princess really gets defeated and humiliated, then wouldn't the image of a blushing Lolita princess crying and pretending to be stubborn seems... quite cute, right?
