Sera was really disappointed right now. She could have enjoyed the little princess's sad crying and defenseless expression, but the battle took a shocking turn and Xia Yi actually won.
None of the dragons present had expected this kind of development.
No one understood why this Dragon princess suddenly pulled out a sword out of nowhere and shattered the core of the puppet giant with just one strike.
Did you see it?
"Have she ever practiced swordsmanship before, The Princess?"
"That's not right. I remember that Her Highness the Princess never practiced swordsmanship let alone holding a sword. She should be better at magic, right?"
"Since Her Highness the Princess doesn't know swordsmanship, what about the results of the trial?"
"Does this royal trial count?"
Sera gradually noticed that other dragons also had beginning to have strong doubts.
She observed Xia Yi's reaction, waiting for the little princess to come out and explain it everyone.
But Xia Yi just stood there blankly. She was so shocked that she couldn't say a word. She was as confused as everyone else.
Could it be that even Her Royal Highness the Princess herself doesn't understand what's going on either?
This possibility suddenly occurred to The maid Sera.
There were more and more gossip from the dragons present. If this continued, the situation might get out of control.
As the oldest of the dragon clan and an outstanding maid of the royal maid corps, Sera would naturally not sit idly by.
She walked majestically to the center of the arena and transmitted her voice via magic to the surrounding arena.
"I declare that Silver Dragon Princess, Xia Yi Christie, has successfully defeated the fourth-level puppet giant and passed the royal trial!"
"I... passed?"
Xia Yi looked up blankly, feeling like she was dreaming, felt like nothing's real.
"Yes, Princess, congratulations on gaining the recognition of our dragon clan. You are indeed a person with the blood of the silver dragon royal family, and you possess unquestionable majesty."
There was not much happiness on Xia Yi's face. Instead, she looked more emotional and silent.
"This is too strange..."
Sera heard the questioning voice and immediately started to criticize, "Strange? Are you questioning Her Highness the Princess's ability? Or do you want to come up and try another Round with Her Highness the Princess's swordsmanship?"
All of a sudden, all the dragons' eyes were focused on the dragon who had just complained in a low voice. This guy was really unlucky. He could only bite the bullet and go against Sera, acting as a messenger(sacrifice) for everyone.
"Miss Sera, I am not questioning you, I just cannot understand this situation. After all, Her Highness the Princess has always been practicing magic, and I have never heard of her practicing swordsmanship, not even once. The swordsmanship Her Highness the Princess demonstrated just now is definitely at the level of a strong master! No less!"
Sera said disdainfully: "It seems that you really don't understand what it means to hide one's shortcomings."
"Hide once shortcomings?"
"That's right, Her Highness has been hiding her own abilities. Just now in the battle, Her Highness has demonstrated her calmness and excellent tactics. She first used magic to create the illusion that she was at a disadvantage for the enemy, and then used common tactics to further confuse the enemy, lowering their guard and causing them to fall into the trap step by step. In the end, she used an unexpected killer move to kill them with one blow. This is completely the style of a tactical master, just like Her Majesty the Queen did back then."
Sera's eyes swept across the dragons present.
"Your Strength just now was exactly the same as that of the puppet giant. If you were the opponent of Her Royal Highness the Princess, what would have happened? You still don't know what to do?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the dragons at the scene fell silent, and the more they thought about it, the more scared they became.
The little princess who looked like a mascot was surprisingly thoughtful. She hadn't even reacted until the battle was over.
It turns out that although Her Royal Highness the Princess looks cute, she is actually so terrifying!
"Your Highness, tell me, was what I just said correct?"
In fact, Xia Yi's attention was not on Sera, and she didn't know what she had just said to everyone. She just went along with what she said.
"Ah, yes, yes!"
Although she didn't know what the situation was about, she felt she needed to say yes, yes, right?
"Come to think of it, Her Majesty the Queen defeated a fourth-level enemy in the royal trial with the strength of a third-level and was recognized by the dragon clan back then too."
"If you think about it carefully, that's right. After all, Her Royal Highness is the only daughter of Her Majesty the Queen. I don't believe that she doesn't have any hidden trump cards in her hand."
"I think Her Royal Highness has other trump cards. The cards in her hand are definitely beyond our imagination."
The dragons finally recognized Xia Yi's victory.
Seeing the dragons' reactions, Sera felt relieved.
It was so realistic that she almost believed it herself
As a maid, Sera has served Xia Yi for a long time. The so-called tactical master is pure nonsense. In fact, she is just a loli who likes to talk tough and show off.
I guess Her Royal Highness the Princess herself still doesn’t understand how she won either.
But she understood that all this was definitely closely related to Her Majesty the Queen.
Even the mysterious sword that appeared just now was most likely a trump card given by Her Majesty the Queen to her daughter.
It was clearly an important royal trial, but Her Majesty the Queen, who always doted on her daughter, didn't even show up today.
Does this mean that Her Majesty the Queen has grown less fond of her little princess?
No!
Her Majesty the Queen already knew the result of today. Even if Xia Yi, who usually shows off, chooses to challenge a higher level opponent, she will still win.
Therefore, she only needs to follow the wishes of Her Majesty the Queen and be responsible for controlling the situation here.
"Your Highness, the trial is over. Go back and inform Her Majesty the Queen of the good news," said Sera.
"Yeah, okay."
Xia Yi nodded.
…
Xia Yi came to the garden of the palace.
At this time, Xia Lulu should be having afternoon tea.
Sure enough, Xia Yi met Xia Lulu. At the open-air tea table surrounded by beautiful flowers, she saw the elegant Silver Dragon Queen sitting on a white chair with a red teacup in her hand, while the maids of the royal maid corps stood respectfully aside.
"Mom, I'm back." Xia Yi greeted nervously.
She felt quite guilty, after all, she won by chance.
In that situation, I should have been doomed to fail, but for some reason I had a strong desire to win, and the result was...
By the time she react, the battle is over.
She felt that the sword looked familiar, but she couldn't tell what it was.
"Xia Yi, why are you so nervous?~" Xia Lulu asked.
“I, I…”
Xia Yi lowered her head and simply told the truth.
"Mother! I was in the royal trial, and somehow I summoned a holy sword. I used it to defeat the puppet giant, and somehow I won! That's it!"
“…”
Xia Lulu fell into silence, glancing at the maids around her.
The maids immediately understood, and after bowing to the queen and the princess in unison, they said goodbye, leaving the space for the mother and daughter to talk alone.
Seeing this, Xia Yi became even more nervous.
"Mother...don't you find it strange?"
"Of course not, because the sword—"
Xia Lulu put down the steaming afternoon tea on the tray.
"That's the Holy Sword Gram, the beloved sword of the human sword Saint~"
