Inside the palace, a Dragon Maid who was a member of the Royal Maid corps walked up to the Silver Dragon Queen Xia Lulu.
She has red hair similar to Sera's, and her figure is slightly better than Sera's. The two have many similarities in appearance.
This is Sera's sister, Lucia.
But compared to Sera who always maintains a polite smile, Lucia is more cold, always serious and decisive in her actions. The personalities of these two maid sisters are quite opposite to each other.
"Your Majesty, I am back. Regarding the mission you assigned me..."
"Shhh."
With her eyes closed, Xia Lulu raised a finger and placed it in front of her cherry lips, signaling Lucia not to disturb her.
It looked like Xia Lulu wasn't doing anything particularly important, she was just resting her eyes.
Lucia stood silently beside Xia Lulu, in a standard standing posture, waiting for her master to call her.
A long time passed.
Xia Lulu slowly opened her silver eyes and whispered, "Lucia, how long have I slept?"
"About an hour, Your Majesty."
"Lucia, sorry to have kept you waiting."
"No, Your Majesty, this is my job."
"Lucia, you didn't disappoint me, did you?"
"Your Majesty, I have completed the relevant investigation on the background of the human swordsman Wright. His experience is indeed very complicated and unique."
Lucia explained in an orderly manner.
"The human swordsman was from the Rhineland. He lost his relatives at an early age and spent his childhood in an orphanage in Rhineland. He was very popular in the orphanage. At that time, the heir of the Schubert family in Rhineland met with an accident and fell into a coma. To be on the safe side, he was spotted in the orphanage because of his outstanding swordsmanship talent. So he was chosen by the Schubert's to be adopted and renamed Wright Schubert and brought back to the Schubert family. For the sake of reputation, the Schubert family announced to the outside world that Wright had Schubert's bloodline and was the legitimate heir, and concealed his past in the orphanage."
"And then?"
"Wright made continuous breakthroughs in the human race's swordsmanship, defeated many powerful enemies and foes for the human race, and brought a lot of honor to the Schubert family. He became the human race's Sword Saint. Wright Schubert should have continued to be trained as the future heir of the family, but during this period, a change that no one expected occurred. The original heir of the Schubert family unexpectedly woke up. This caused a lot of trouble for the Schubert family, and that there were two more heirs all of a sudden."
“…”
"So, as you can see, the Human Sword Saint took on an impossible mission that was too bizarre for humans. He Turned into a dragon slayer to defeat you. The consequence's was that he died after being defeated by you. This is how I found out in the Rhine Kingdom and investigated the information so far."
Lucia finished her story.
After listening to this, Xia Lulu basically understood.
"What about the orphanage?" Xia Lulu inquired.
"The orphanage is not in a good situation. Due to the Schubert family's concealment, even the people in the orphanage didn't know that the child they once taken care of is a Human Sword Saint and is dead. The Schubert family has long stopped providing Funding, and the orphanage is about to face imminent bankruptcy."
"Lucia, in the name of the Human Sword Saint, support the orphanage in secret. Provide financial support in a low-key manner and don't let the orphanage go bankrupt. If anyone dares to touch the orphanage, just kill them."
"...Yes, Your Majesty." Lucia was very surprised by this order.
"Lucia, you've performed very well in this mission. What reward do you want?"
"I don't need it. It is my greatest honor to serve Her Majesty the Queen."
"it seems you have something on your mind, your eyes betray you."
Lucia was a little embarrassed and was silent for a moment. "...Your Majesty, please forgive my stupidity. I really can't understand why you would go so far to investigate an insignificant Human being so much, and to secretly support the orphanage in the name of the human Sword Saint. Is there any important interest in this?"
Xia Lulu smiled slightly, "There is no benefit, just love."
"Love?"
"yes."
If one day my daughter suddenly wants to run away from home, at least she should have a place to go.
Xia Lulu thought.
…
night.
In Xia Yi's bedroom.
Sera tucked the little princess into bed and was about to blow out the candles to say goodbye.
"Good night, Princess, I wish you a sweet dreams."
"Sera, don't leave yet, wait a minute..."
"Your Highness, are you afraid of the dark?"
“Huh? What did you say? Afraid of the dark? Are you kidding me? I’m not. I, I’m…”
Xia Yila pulled up the quilt to cover half of her face and defended herself guiltily.
"I have to go to class tomorrow. I thought Sera would feel lonely without seeing me all day, so I kept you here for a while!"
Sera was tactful enough not to point it out, just just nodded along.
"Then, Princess, I will stay for a while and put out the candles after you fall asleep."
"That's right, this is my good maid!"
Afterwards, Xia Yi chatted with Sera.
There was nothing special about the content of the conversation. Sera just told Xia Yi about her experiences.
As a little princess, Xia Yi stayed in the dragon clan's palace all year round and seldom went out. She was quite curious about the outside world.
But she never goes out, not even if she has the chance to.
She is simply a pure homebody type dragon.
…
“Huff…Huff…Huff…”
Xia Yi, who was originally sleepy, had a strange feeling in her heart. In a state of half-sleep and half-awake, she heard someone calling her, which woke her up.
"Sera...are you calling me...?"
She threw back the quilt and sat up on the bed, but she was alone in the bedroom. Sera had long disappeared, and the candle was still burning slowly.
Xia Yi frowned slightly, "Why did Sera leave without even blowing out the candles?"
She felt something strange and called out twice, but Sera didn't respond.
Sera left her master without saying a word. This was the first time since Xia Yi met Sera. As an outstanding Royal maid, Sera had almost never failed to perform her duties like this.
Xia Yi got out of bed, put on her slippers, and was a little worried, thinking that Sera might have met with some kind of accident, so she looked around for her.
As she passed the mirror in the room, she froze.
The person reflected in the mirror was not herself, not the silver-haired dragon loli in pink pajamas, but a male swordsman in full-Body Armor.
The sword in the swordsman's hand was very familiar to Xia Yi. It was the sword of the sword Saint, the Holy Sword Gram.
Xia Yi opened her silver eyes wide in shock.
"The Human Race's sword Saint...?"
