250~ Modern Times!?~
"Princess?"
"Huh?"
Just as she was about to faint from hunger, her beloved personal maid Xiao Xi's voice suddenly rang out beside her ear!
Not caring about why Xiao Xi would be here, the Little Princess raised her head to look at that angel-like figure.
"Xiao Xi! Save me!!!"
......
......
"So why is there no one taking care of Princess?"
"How would I know?"
When she woke up, not only was the Empress gone, even everyone in the entire Imperial City had disappeared without a trace!
"Xiao Xi came at such a timely moment! Wuu!"
The Little Princess hugged Maid Xiao Xi tightly, having completely cast royal interests to the back of her mind.
She was almost starving to death, what royal etiquette should she care about?
After listening to the Little Princess's account, Maid Xiao Xi still had a puzzled expression.
How could the Imperial City of Scarlet Phoenix Nation, which was perfectly fine, not have a single person in it? There was definitely something fishy about this!
"I think so too!"
After eating her fill, the Little Princess had recovered most of her strength and could go look around everywhere.
And the place she most wanted to go right now was outside the Imperial City walls. If there was no one inside the Imperial City, there should at least be people in the outer city with its dim and scattered lights, right!? Otherwise, who lit those lights?
"Going outside?"
"Mm mm!"
The Little Princess nodded.
"All right, I'll take Princess out right away."
Since it was the Princess's order, she had to complete it, and she couldn't let the Princess down!
But when the two arrived at the main gate, they discovered the city gate simply couldn't be opened. The main gate had been firmly locked, and without a key, it simply couldn't be opened.
They had no choice but to follow the stairs up to the city wall, but very quickly discovered something wasn't quite right. There was no outer city at all. When their hands reached outward, they touched something like a wall, and this "wall" turned into a green screen with a single touch.
In other words, the outer city with dim and scattered lights she had seen was completely fake?
After Maid Xiao Xi drew a sword and slashed open the green screen, they could only see pitch darkness through the place that had been cut open.
This was truly seeing ghosts!
The Little Princess quickly reacted. She and Maid Xiao Xi were trapped in an enclosed space, and moreover, there were only the two of them in this entire space!
Her assessment was...... screwed!
A combination of two people who completely didn't know magic were trapped in this kind of ghostly place. How could there possibly be any chance of escaping?
She felt somewhat desperate.
If she couldn't get out, wouldn't that mean she would starve to death here alive?
The ingredients in the kitchen were ultimately limited. After eating them all, there would be none left......
She suddenly felt the Empress was somewhat cute. At least she was much cuter than this kind of place!
"Fei! Fei!"
After calling out a few times with completely no response at all, her last hope was also severed.
This time she was probably really screwed......
Inexplicably sent here, and moreover not knowing how to get out. What was even more despairing was that the two of them together couldn't muster even half a bit of magical talent......
Wait...... speaking of which, why would Maid Xiao Xi appear here? Why would she be drawn into this kind of place together with her?
She seemed to have forgotten something? But she couldn't remember. No matter how she thought about it, her memories were all fuzzy.
"Xiao Xi, how did you appear here?"
The Little Princess raised her first suspicion.
"Me? I don't know either. Just inexplicably, after sleeping, I arrived here. I remember before I went to sleep, I was still serving tea to Your Majesty......"
As Maid Xiao Xi spoke, she covered her head. A few drops of cold sweat emerged on her forehead. After trembling for a while:
"Sorry, Princess. I really can't remember......"
"It's all right. If you can't remember, then don't think about it."
About this, the Little Princess had no suspicion at all, because Maid Xiao Xi's appearance completely didn't seem like it was an act.
After Maid Xiao Xi recovered somewhat, the two helped each other and temporarily returned to the Empress's bedroom first.
Because the Empress wasn't here either, she simply let Maid Xiao Xi lie down on the bed, then lay down herself, lying together with Maid Xiao Xi.
"Princess, did You also arrive here after sleeping?"
"Mm."
Lying on the bed looking at the ceiling, she always felt something was off, but she completely couldn't think of what was off. Moreover, her memory seemed to be missing a piece, a piece that was very important to her, a memory that could let her escape from here.
"Uu......"
How was that possible? She was just an ordinary princess who completely didn't understand magic. How could there possibly be a way to escape from here? You had to know that even in terms of physical ability, if Xiao Xi wanted to pin her to the ground and XX her, she wouldn't have a single bit of ability to resist.
Whatever. Rather than counting on her unreliable memory, why not hope that Maid Xiao Xi could hold her and whoosh, fly right out?
"Xiao Xi? Xiao Xi?"
After trying to call Xiao Xi twice, she suddenly discovered that Maid Xiao Xi beside her had already fallen asleep.
Strange. Hadn't Xiao Xi already slept before seeing her? Why was she sleepy again now?
Before she had time to think carefully, she suddenly also felt a wave of drowsiness attacking her.
"Yawn~"
And so, she yawned and also fell asleep together with Maid Xiao Xi, still murmuring something in her mouth.
......
......
"Mm, about right."
Outside the dreamscape, the Empress rubbed her hands together.
She could already very skillfully master this magic that could create and manipulate dreams.
"Your Majesty, um, the thing you wanted is already done."
"Very good. Put it aside for now. Remember to close the door when you go out, then don't come in anymore. Only when we call are you allowed to come in."
"Yes."
After sending away Maid Ling, the Empress began trying to use the magic she had just completely mastered. She lay on the bed and began using the magic on herself.
This way, she could enter the Little Princess's dream in her former appearance. It would just be somewhat unstable, for example, being unable to use magic in the dream.
But she didn't need magic either. She only needed to let herself enter the Little Princess's dream and transform into an innocent girl in her former appearance inside.
......
......
"Princess? Princess?"
"What is it?"
Today was the second day of being confined here. After a night of exploration, she and Maid Xiao Xi were both exhausted. As soon as they lay on the bed, they fell asleep. This should be the second day now.
"Uu uu...... What is it, Xiao Xi?"
"Princess, please get up and take a look. Something seems to have happened outside."
"What?"
Groggily rubbing her eyes, she followed Maid Xiao Xi's footsteps outside. She seemed to see an incredible scene.
What place was this!!!??
Crowds of people coming and going, traffic lights, roads, all kinds of cars and high-rise buildings, an extremely modernized city......
No wait, this was simply modern times, right!?
The Little Princess vigorously rubbed her eyes again. She didn't dare believe everything she was seeing and began doubting her life.
