135~ Massage~
Chocolate cake, this was one of her favorite desserts from her previous life, but due to financial reasons she'd only eat some on her birthday.
"Your Highness, Your Highness! The desserts are ready!"
The loli maid brought the chocolate cake and egg tarts rushing to the little Princess.
"Hmm? It's done already this fast?"
The little Princess was somewhat surprised. No matter what, bread fermentation also needed to take some time, right? And she remembered this was the first time this loli maid was making cake, right? How did she manage it?
"Actually, the kitchen here already had prepared ingredients!"
Already prepared ingredients?
The little Princess was somewhat puzzled.
Could it be that after she left, the kitchen specially prepared those ingredients for her, but then didn't stop keeping them even though they weren't being used?
She'd wanted to send away this loli maid for a bit to have a good heart-to-heart talk with the Maid Xiao Xi, but before they'd even gotten halfway through their chat, this loli maid had finished making the cake and egg tarts and returned, even bringing along a pot of black tea...
The little Princess and the loli maid looked at each other, and immediately directly terminated the topic that had still been in progress.
The little Princess didn't want the loli maid Xiyan to know, and the Maid Xiao Xi also didn't want to embarrass her Princess.
So the two of them tacitly ended the conversation under such circumstances.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, try it and see if it's good!"
The loli maid Xiyan held up a spoon.
"...Actually, I can eat it myself."
"Oh come on, Princess, try it first!"
Although the ingredients for this chocolate cake weren't made by her own hands, she did her best to make this cake perfect.
The cream naturally went without saying, she'd mixed it herself. It was just that eating the fermented cake on the bottom layer wasn't as good as when it had just come out of the oven.
Left with no choice, the little Princess could only swallow in one bite the piece of cake forked in the loli maid Xiyan's hand.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, how is it? Is it good?"
"Mm, of course it's good."
"Hehehe, as long as Your Highness likes it. If Your Highness likes it, I'll make it for you again tomorrow."
The loli maid Xiyan who received the little Princess's praise was naturally very happy. Happy to what degree? If she had to describe it, that feeling was like eating freshly produced flower nectar, sweet.
After resting like this for a few days, it finally reached the time when her personal Maid Xiao Xi said the rest period would end. She impatiently ran toward the military camp.
She wanted to see what level those soldiers in the military camp had reached after these few days of training.
She didn't expect perfect accuracy, as long as ten bullets could hit a few enemies that would be enough. With these few days of training time, she wasn't expecting to train out a sharpshooter either.
"Princess!"
"Mm, how have the soldiers' training been going lately?"
As soon as she saw the General, she immediately asked.
"It's alright. It's just there are some problems hitting what you call moving targets. Originally when hitting fixed targets every shot could hit, but once they get to moving targets it doesn't work. Now the soldiers are all complaining a bit."
"Very normal. If after switching to moving targets they could still hit every shot like with fixed targets, that could be called talent."
"Besides, on the battlefield, what enemy would stand there and let you shoot them? Wouldn't that be a stupid pig?"
"What the Princess says is correct."
The General said ingratiatingly.
No matter whether his Princess was right or wrong, he would praise her. Much less when the Princess was speaking very reasonably?
"Then just continue letting them train. However, you can set up some rewards, like if the hit rate reaches such and such, set up corresponding rewards. Of course, you can't make it too simple either."
This way should be able to increase the soldiers' enthusiasm for training.
As for how much money would need to be spent under this kind of training? That wasn't something she needed to worry about. After training this army well later, she would be leaving Glaze Nation again...
However, this time it wouldn't be the Empress capturing her, but rather she would personally lead this army out to search for things.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing."
The little Princess shook her head.
Training this army still needed quite a long period of time. During this period she couldn't be too hasty either. Training an army was something that still had to be handed over to experienced generals. She who had only theory but lacked practice wouldn't go join in the excitement.
"Princess, let's go back."
"Huh?"
The little Princess puzzledly turned her head to look at her personal Maid Xiao Xi.
"It's time for you to rest."
"Eh? But I haven't gone to see the soldiers' results yet!"
"I'm saying, Princess, you should rest."
Wait, how long had she been here? How was it time to rest again all of a sudden?
"Princess, you've already been out for almost an hour, constantly wandering around the military camp, watching soldiers train. An hour already, it's time to rest a bit."
"It's been an hour already?"
The little Princess was somewhat doubtful. Clearly she felt it had been at most half an hour, right?
"If Princess doesn't believe it, you can go look at the sundial."
"Fine, fine, I believe you, I believe you."
Her personal Maid Xiao Xi had never deceived her about this kind of thing, so she chose to believe unconditionally.
"Princess, you're going the wrong direction."
"Hmm?"
Wasn't the rest tent specially set up for her in the military camp in this direction?
Although she hadn't come for a few days, she wasn't directionally challenged. She still remembered where the tent set up for her to rest was located.
"Princess, you should return to the bedchamber to rest, not rest here."
"Huh? Why? I can rest here too, right?"
"That can't be called rest at all. For the sake of your health, Princess, you should obediently go back to the bedchamber with me to rest."
While speaking, the Maid Xiao Xi didn't forget to grip her hand threateningly. If she didn't obey, she'd directly carry her back.
In front of all the soldiers, she didn't want to lose face. Anyway, it was far from here. The people below probably didn't know what she and the Maid Xiao Xi were talking about up here.
So the little Princess had no choice but to submit to the Maid Xiao Xi and obediently follow her back to her own bedchamber.
"Please, Princess, sit here for a moment. I'll go prepare some things for you."
"What things? What are you doing?"
The little Princess was somewhat curious.
"Preparing some tools to give you a massage to help you relax."
"Massage?"
As soon as this was mentioned, she remembered...
In her previous life, no one had given her a massage either. The only time was when she was still in school, her roommate learned from the internet and then used her to practice. That day she almost got sent to the hospital. After that, she developed some psychological trauma regarding massage...
And now her personal Maid Xiao Xi wanted to give her a massage? She wasn't secretly plotting how to assassinate Glaze Nation's First Princess, was she!?
