161~ The Deity Slumbering in the Midias Empire~
"This... I don't know either."
"You don't know?"
You specifically traveled a long distance to the Western Region to find someone, yet you don't even know who the person you want to find is!?
"Mm, I couldn't find them in the Eastern Region, so I came to the Western Region to try my luck."
"Then when the time comes that you meet the person you're looking for, how will you know they're the one you want to find?"
"Well, this involves some of my personal privacy, so I can't speak directly. But I will definitely have a way to recognize them when I meet them."
"No matter. Since this is your personal privacy, I won't ask more. Then I wish you good luck, First Princess from the Eastern Region's Glaze Nation. Welcome to Midias."
......
......
"Your Highness, Your Highness, what did that king say to you?"
Upon returning to the hotel, little loli maid Xiyan followed behind continuously inquiring.
"Nothing much. He just simply asked about the purpose of coming here."
"Is that so? Then Your Highness, Your Highness, did he make things difficult for you?"
"Not at all."
The feeling Darvien gave her was very kind. At least when she first met him, that was the feeling, like a kindly old person. He didn't have much of a king's airs.
"By the way, Xiyan, can you help me go out and buy some things tonight?"
She wasn't suitable to show her face outside. By now, the entire Midias Empire royal capital already knew the news of her being here. Even her appearance had been recorded by recording stones, circulating through the streets and alleys.
After all, she was the first Eastern Region royal family member to cross the border and come to the Western Region in several hundred years. Drawing the attention of large numbers of people here was inevitable.
This also meant she couldn't go out. Even if she had to go out, she needed to prepare concealment measures, trying her best to avoid attention.
This was all nothing. She originally came here to resupply provisions for the army, not to play here. Whether she went out or when she went out didn't matter.
"Your Highness, let me go out. Let Xiyan stay by your side."
"Hm?"
Strange. Hadn't Xiao Xi always been rejecting Xiyan? How come now she wanted to let Xiyan stay by her side while she went out to buy things herself?
"Xiyan, as an Archmage, can effectively protect your personal safety. So please leave going out to me."
Even if she had countless dissatisfactions with Xiyan, when it concerned her Princess's safety, even if dissatisfied, she had to endure it.
"That makes sense. Then I'll leave it to you. Be careful on the road. If the situation feels wrong, directly use a Magic Scroll."
Xiao Xi also carried several Magic Scrolls she had given her. In terms of life safety, there was now some guarantee.
"Understood."
After handing the list of things that needed buying to Xiao Xi, she took out a bag of Gold Coins given by Darvien. This was exchanged with some treasures to facilitate their activities within the Midias royal capital. It was already the amount of money an ordinary commoner could earn in over ten years.
After doing all this, the little Princess took off her shoes and lay on the bed. It was already about time to rest, and she was also gradually becoming drowsy.
Little loli maid Xiyan also climbed onto the bed and grasped one of the little Princess's arms.
"Xiyan."
"Mm? What is it, Your Highness?"
"Can you put your hand back?"
Being told this, Xiyan withdrew her hand from between the little Princess's legs. The entire loli also became much more well-behaved.
......
......
......
"......"
"......"
The little Princess let out a long sigh.
She and Xuan had been staring at each other here for quite a while now. This little loli Xuan just wouldn't say anything, then stared at her with a reproachful face, though her eyes carried a trace of fear.
"Since I'm already here, I must find the person I want to find."
"No! Momo, you must return immediately! Momo, do you know that where you are, there exists another deity! If we wait until They awaken, by then it'll be too late to leave!"
"Enough, Xuan. I know you're worried about my safety, but I have reasons I must persist in, just like how you want to ensure my safety no matter what."
"Since Momo already knows, then Momo, quickly return for me!"
Xuan grabbed the little Princess's collar and shook her forcefully as she spoke.
"If Momo doesn't return, then I can only take forceful measures. I know Momo must be blaming me in your heart for controlling your body back then... Even if Momo hates me, it doesn't matter. But if it can make Momo return, everything doesn't matter."
After the shaking ended, the little Princess let out a long sigh and reached out both hands to embrace Xuan's waist.
"Xuan... I don't blame you for those things you did using my body before. You were only for my safety. Even if you continue like that now, I won't blame you. But I will resist you, using my full strength to let myself stay in the Western Region to continue searching..."
Xuan: "......"
She hadn't expected the little Princess would have this attitude. Originally, she had already prepared herself to be disliked, even detested by the little Princess.
"Xuan, I truly hope you won't stop me. I have reasons why I must find the person I want to find."
Xuan remained silent for a long time without speaking, only silently prying open the little Princess's two small hands that embraced her, then using a very domineering posture to pin the little Princess on the bed.
Just staring at her like this, until outside the church it entered nighttime again.
......
......
"Your Highness? Your Highness?"
"Mmm...?"
The little Princess slowly opened her eyes. The bright sun had already shone through the window onto her small bottom...
"Is it already morning?"
"Yes, Your Highness. It's already morning now, and already approaching noon. It's time for you to get up and eat something to fill your stomach."
She actually slept until near noon in one go?
Last night she was once again invited by Xuan to enter that church and met with little loli Xuan face to face. But the problem was she didn't know whether Xuan would next try everything to force her back to Glaze Nation, help her find other reincarnators or crossers, or choose neither and watch from the sidelines?
She didn't know what choice Xuan would make. She only knew she had to speed up her actions.
If it was truly as Xuan said, that a deity in light slumber existed in the Midias Empire, she had to hurry and prepare things to leave.
The longer she stayed in Midias, the greater the risk she would face.
No matter what kind of stance this deity held, she didn't want to meet with them.
"Xiao Xi, have all the things I wanted been bought?"
"Everything has been prepared. Do you need me to bring everything over and recount it all again?"
Maid Xiao Xi handed her the list. All the things listed that needed buying had been checked off at the end.
"No need, no need."
Regarding Maid Xiao Xi's work capability, she was still very confident.
