Volume Three: The "Saint's" Expedition

"Princess!"
"Hmm? What is it?"
The little Princess sat in the military camp. Nowadays, she came to inspect the situation almost every day, and now a tent had been specially set up in this military camp for her to rest in during her visits.
"This is terrible! Someone accidentally got injured by a gun!"
"Didn't I say it already? Keep the muzzle pointed outward! Don't point it at people! How did that person get shot by the gun?"
"Reporting to Princess, that person wanted to test whether the Black Gold armor could stop a gun's bullet..."
"So he put on the armor and told someone to shoot him?"
"Uh, uh... yes."
Mo: "..."
The little Princess speechlessly covered her forehead with her hand.
She didn't know how to evaluate this kind of idiotic behavior...
Needless to say, the gun's power was sufficient to pierce through light metal armor. The thickness of Black Gold armor was very thin, completely failing to meet the standard needed to stop bullets.
Although it provided even higher physical defense than mithril, the problem was that it mainly defended against light weapon slashes, not heavy weapons.
The power of a weapon like the Breech-Loading Rifled Gun far exceeded the slashing force of heavy weapons, so personally putting on Black Gold armor to try whether it could withstand the Breech-Loading Rifled Gun had only one outcome: being pierced by the bullet.
"Quickly, have someone go treat him. Remember to remove the bullet inside before treatment, understand?"
"Understood, understood."
The General nodded.
The little Princess finally breathed a sigh of relief after the General left.
She really didn't know how this kind of brain-damaged soldier was brought out, or how he'd managed to survive until now.
Her cheap Father the King had said that these three thousand-plus soldiers had all been on the battlefield, were full of fighting spirit, and could completely handle going to war even now, it was just that their numbers were a bit small.
"Your Highness, Your Highness! Have some melon!"
The loli maid Xiyan brought a plate of watermelon to the little Princess's table...
"So Xiyan, could you settle down a little..."
"Ah, ah... Have I caused Your Highness some trouble?"
The loli maid asked dejectedly.
"Not really, I just feel you don't need to be so attentive. I know Xiyan really wants to get my attention... but I want to say, no matter what, I won't abandon you."
"But..."
But Your Highness, you've already abandoned me once...
Xiyan held these words in her heart. She didn't know how to bring it up with her Princess Mo, because the little Princess seemed not to remember this matter...
That day when she disappeared, she said they were playing hide and seek, but after she hid herself, her Princess Mo never came to find her. She stayed crouched there for three hours before learning that her Princess Mo had actually escaped...
Even though she'd promised she would definitely find her...
"There's no 'but' about it. I trust Xiyan will definitely obey properly, right?"
"Yes, I will definitely listen to Princess Mo's words!"
"Very good. In that case, Xiyan should obey properly, okay?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Mm, I knew Xiyan is the most obedient, most well-behaved, and best little maid!"
The little Princess satisfactorily rubbed the loli maid's little head.
"Yes, I am Your Highness's most obedient, most well-behaved, and best little maid!"
Then I'll trust Your Highness one more time!
Trust that Your Highness won't suddenly abandon her and run away alone again!
"So Your Highness, Your Highness, can I still sleep with you tonight?"
"Didn't we sleep together last night? Tonight I'm sleeping with Xiao Xi."
The loli maid looked toward the Maid Xiao Xi's direction and saw Xiao Xi wearing a smug expression, which immediately annoyed her.
Damn it! Already so old and yet still so shameless going to sleep with Princess Mo!
"But... I really want to sleep with Your Highness. Please!"
The loli maid deployed her ultimate technique again.
"...No means no."
The little Princess gritted her teeth and firmly refused.
"Oh come on, Your Highness! Please!"
If she didn't sleep together with Your Highness, she really couldn't feel at ease. She wanted to hold onto her Princess Mo as much as possible...
...
...
"So Your Highness, Your Highness, I'm sleeping on the left side today, okay?"
"Mm..."
"In that case, Princess, I'll sleep on your right side."
"Mm..."
Just like a few days ago, Xiao Xi and Xiyan slept on her two sides. She was still sleeping between the two of them, an almost identical scene to a few days ago. She was a bit afraid tonight would again be a sleepless night.
"So can you two guarantee you won't make a fuss tonight?"
"Yes, yes!" ×2
After getting the two's assurance, the little Princess finally relaxed a bit. Lying between the two of them, after repeatedly confirming that both were sleeping very quietly on the left and right, she gradually fell asleep.
This time her sleep wasn't disturbed, except in her dream there was a strange, odd feeling, like the feeling of being bound...
And so, in her dream she saw the Empress, and herself suspended in the mirror...
...
...
"Uwah!"
Startled awake from the nightmare, the little Princess suddenly sat up. After scanning the surroundings and not seeing the Empress's figure from the nightmare, she gradually calmed down.
Fortunately, in reality she was in Glaze Nation, and moreover in her own bedchamber. The Empress hadn't appeared by her side either. Lying on the bed were only the three of them: her, Xiao Xi, and Xiyan...
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
The loli maid rubbed her eyes and asked.
Last night she and that old woman didn't have any disputes, so why did Your Highness suddenly wake up so early this morning?
"It's nothing, just had a nightmare."
The little Princess wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Then Princess, are you still sleepy?"
"Not anymore..."
She didn't want to continue sleeping. She didn't want to see the Empress's face again...
Herself in the dream...
The little Princess's small face flushed red.
Hentai Empress! Pervert! Shameless! Depraved!
"Eh? Your Highness, are you sick?"
"No, I'm fine..."
Although she said this, the loli maid still pressed her own face against the little Princess's forehead.
The Maid Xiao Xi silently watched all this from the side but didn't stop it, didn't even speak.
At least on the point of caring for her Princess, she wouldn't interfere.
"Your Highness's forehead isn't hot, but your face is so red..."
When she was in the Scarlet Phoenix Nation's Imperial Palace, she'd learned plenty about the concepts her Princess Mo had proposed, including the concept of disease.
The concept and theories her Princess Mo put forward had so far been very accurate, including some measures that didn't require mages to use Treatment Magic to alleviate symptoms...
In short, having stayed by the little Princess's side for four and a half months, she'd learned quite a lot. Now she could make basic judgments about minor illnesses.
"Your Highness, do you have a cold?"
"No, no..."
The little Princess didn't know how to answer, but shifted her gaze to her personal Maid Xiao Xi...
She saw the Maid Xiao Xi looking at her with a strange expression, as if she already knew the reason...
