"Princess?"
"I'm fine."
The little Princess shook her head and put away the letter in her hand.
"No, Princess, I've come to report to you."
"Report?"
Report what? Was there something worth reporting?
She hadn't seen Maid Xiao Xi report anything to her before.
"Go ahead."
"The Mo Lotus Army has already reached the standard you set."
"What?"
They'd already reached the standard she set?
The little Princess suddenly stood up, unable to stop the excitement in her heart.
If this was true, didn't that mean this army could walk sideways as long as they didn't encounter a large army?
"Really?"
You had to know that the standard she'd set was for the entire force to achieve a 30% hit rate under random moving target conditions. This kind of hit rate was already very high on the firing range...
Anyway, she hadn't expected this entire army to reach her standard so quickly.
"Mm-hmm, does Xiao Xi have anything else?"
"Nothing else, but I still want to ask if Princess, you're alright?"
She was very curious what her Princess had seen in the letter for her expression to be so grave.
"I'm fine, just a bit tired."
Her brain nearly exploded while reading this letter from the Empress...
"Princess, if you have any troubling matters you can tell me. I'm ready to serve you at any time."
"Not really, I just feel like Xiao Xi's condition lately has been a bit off, hasn't it?"
"No, it's Princess's imagination."
"Is that so?"
The little Princess loosened her clenched fist, then waved her hand to let the Maid Xiao Xi leave. She needed to rest.
After the Maid Xiao Xi left, she pulled out from behind her back again that letter the Empress had given her...
The Empress was going to deploy Great Archmage-level combat power onto the battlefield, and even told her not to run toward Scarlet Phoenix Nation's direction with that army of hers during this recent period...
Who would run toward Scarlet Phoenix Nation's direction!?
That hentai Empress was overthinking it, wasn't she?
Although she had this plan, that was also a matter for much later. At this stage, she wanted to go to the Western Region to try her luck.
After Scarlet Phoenix Nation and Glaze Nation successively used guns throughout the entire Eastern Region, there were no traces of any transmigrators, making her have to suspect whether all the transmigrators on the Eastern Region side had already died off?
Although sky lanterns had suddenly become popular recently, almost identical to Kongming Lanterns, after investigation she discovered that was merely an elderly folk craftsman who had discovered the characteristics of Kongming Lanterns and made them. It wasn't any transmigrator.
Even when she had the Maid Xiao Xi secretly send people out to search, there wasn't a single bit of news.
Forget it, time to sleep and rest.
She decided to think about these trivial matters tomorrow after waking up.
...
...
"Out... Xiyan."
"What?"
Hearing the Maid Xiao Xi almost call her an outsider, the loli maid Xiyan also responded without a pleasant expression.
"Come with me."
Xiyan: ?
She didn't know what the Maid Xiao Xi wanted to do, but thinking about it, with her Princess Mo present, this personal maid of Princess Mo wouldn't dare do anything to her.
Who told her she was the most, most obedient little maid by Princess Mo's side?
So she followed the Maid Xiao Xi. As for where she'd be taken, she didn't care. It wouldn't be dangerous anyway.
"We're here. His Majesty invites you for tea."
Invites me for tea?
The loli maid Xiyan thought with her little head.
Glaze Nation's King, that was Princess Mo's Father the King, famously a "daughter-doting fool," especially doting on her Princess Mo. So this time calling her over was probably to evaluate her properly?
"Hurry in. His Majesty is waiting for you."
"Oh, oh."
The loli maid Xiyan nodded.
Entering the study, the first thing she saw was Gong sitting in a chair reading a book.
"Sit. No need to be too constrained."
After seeing Xiyan arrive, Gong lightly tapped the table in front of him with his finger a few times and said.
He called Xiyan over mainly just to understand Xiyan, and incidentally understand the situation on Scarlet Phoenix Nation's side and the Empress's condition.
The loli maid quickly sat in the chair across from Gong.
"You're called Xiyan, right?"
"Mm-hmm, I'm the maid that the Empress personally arranged by Princess Mo's side to ensure Princess Mo's safety. I'm a mage!"
After the loli maid Xiyan reported her information, she seemed somewhat nervous. She didn't know whether her recent discovery had satisfied Princess Mo's Father the King.
"Arranged by the Empress to ensure Mo's safety?"
"Yes, because the Empress doesn't usually have much time, and also fears someone might harm Princess Mo..."
"Mm, I understand."
Since she was personally arranged by the Empress to be by his precious daughter's side, there should be no problem.
"Then what level is your strength roughly?"
"Uh... probably Archmage level?"
The reason she wasn't too certain was that although she was Archmage level, her magic power scale had already somewhat exceeded this level.
"Then thank you for your hard work these days."
From Gong's expression, he seemed very satisfied with Xiyan.
He'd also observed Xiyan recently. Whether in words and actions or subconscious movements, she clearly cared very much about his precious daughter.
The Empress personally arranging such an Archmage-level mage by his precious daughter's side to eliminate hidden dangers showed she was very worried about his precious daughter.
However, the problem was... her methods were unsatisfactory.
To be honest, when he heard before that his precious daughter had been placed under house arrest, if he couldn't beat them, he would have directly sent troops to Scarlet Phoenix Nation to snatch her back.
The Empress's love was too domineering and forceful, and her possessiveness was too strong...
"So how has your nation's Empress been lately?"
"Ah... the Empress is in good health."
Gong's eyes narrowed slightly.
Although this maid arranged by the Empress was powerful and very concerned about his precious daughter, she seemed very easy to deceive. He casually extracted useful information.
So she was indeed maintaining contact with the Empress through some means?
"I see."
"Mm-hmm!"
The loli maid Xiyan nodded, completely unaware.
Gong reassessed Xiyan from top to bottom.
At least staying by his precious daughter's side was quite suitable. Strong and obedient, exactly what his precious daughter needed.
The Maid Xiao Xi was personally arranged by him, so she followed his arrangements more, and treated his precious daughter like her own younger sister, but there was a shortcoming in terms of ability: she couldn't use magic.
"By the way, speaking of which, do you know about Mo being able to use magic power?"
"Eh? Princess Mo can use magic power?"
Three question marks immediately floated above the loli maid's head.
When could Princess Mo use magic power? Wasn't Princess Mo unable to even sense magic power?
Could it be because of that Evil God?
Xiyan thought until her head hurt but still couldn't figure out why her Princess Mo could suddenly use magic power again.
