Chapter 290
290~ Reliable Maid Xiao Xi!
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Princess has returned!"
"I know. This kind of thing isn't...... You said Mo returned!?"
Gong suddenly stood up, looking toward the guard who came to deliver the message.
"Yes! The Princess returned by ship from the sea!"
Could it be that she escaped from the Scarlet Phoenix Nation again?
Gong swallowed.
He was afraid his precious daughter had escaped again, then angered the Empress, and the Little Princess would suffer again.
He'd also heard about his precious daughter's affairs in the Scarlet Phoenix Nation. A whole nearly one week! How could his precious daughter's weak body endure it?
"Um, Your Majesty?"
"Speak."
He'd already decided that if his precious daughter had escaped again, then he would protect his precious daughter from the Empress's hands no matter what. He absolutely couldn't let his precious daughter experience that again.
"The Empress of the Scarlet Phoenix Nation is also on the ship."
"The Empress is also there!?"
"Yes, she returned together with the Princess."
Hearing this, Gong breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as she didn't escape back, that was fine. This way, he didn't need to worry about his precious daughter being punished by the Empress!
"Pass my order. Prepare a feast to welcome Mo and the Empress of the Scarlet Phoenix Nation!"
"Yes!!!"
......
"Princess!"
"Xiao Xi!!!"
The Little Princess opened her arms wide and pounced directly into the Little Princess's embrace in a flying tackle.
"Princess, you've returned!"
"Yes, I'm back."
After who knows how long, she returned to Glaze Nation once more. However, this time wasn't because she wanted to return, but because the Empress forcibly brought her back.
The Little Princess buried her head in the Maid Xiao Xi's chest, gently nuzzling.
Empress: (눈‸눈)
Little Princess: ๑乛◡乛๑
Just nuzzle! Just nuzzle!
The Maid Xiao Xi was her maid. She could nuzzle however she wanted! What trashy Empress? Couldn't shake her inner feelings at all!
"Princess, have you gotten a bit plumper?"
"You're the one who got plump!!!"
"But Princess, you really do feel plumper when I pinch you!"
"You're plump! You're plump!"
The Little Princess clenched her small fists, continuously pounding on the Maid Xiao Xi's chest.
Where was she plump!? She'd clearly always been this figure!
"Alright, alright. Princess hasn't gotten plump. I was just teasing you!"
"Hmph! Bad Xiao Xi!"
The Little Princess pouted.
The Empress watched the two interact from the side the whole time.
So she could be coaxed like this? Learned something!
"Princess, His Majesty Gong has been waiting for you for quite some time."
"Right! Father the King!"
Although she didn't want to return to Glaze Nation, her cheap Father the King was still quite good.
"Princess, during the time you were away, His Majesty Gong has already reshaped your image. Right now, the voices of opposition toward you throughout the nation have diminished considerably."
"Mm."
Her cheap Father the King had done a lot for her!
However, she also knew that even though her cheap Father the King had already done this much, when she stood before the citizens, the tide of opposition would surge forth like a flood once more.
This counted as a historical legacy problem. The Scarlet Phoenix Nation had always categorized black cats as inauspicious, and the religion within the former Glaze Nation was the same. Seeds had been planted in the hearts of the people, and up until now, they still thought this way.
Even most of the entire continent viewed black cats this way.
And she possessed black cat characteristics, cat ears and a cat tail. Plus, some of her habits already leaned toward being cat-like. Under the instigation of some reactionary elements, the image she'd painstakingly built up over a lifetime collapsed.
Although she held the noble status of Glaze Nation's First Princess and was also the Glaze Royal Family member with the highest approval rating aside from the King, Glaze Nation wasn't entirely united. There were definitely reactionary elements.
And those reactionary elements used this opportunity to directly destroy the public image she'd built up, even molding her into an inauspicious witch......
More importantly, the citizens who'd clearly received many benefits from her and once adored her greatly, after this incident, the majority had actually stood on the opposing side......
The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt.
She was clearly just a girl who'd just turned eighteen......
"Princess?"
"Wuu meow......?"
"Don't cry. It's alright. Here, no one will say anything about you. If anyone dares slander you, I'll make them completely disappear from the world."
This was also Gong's intention. If anyone in the nation still dared to spread rumors, they'd be arrested without a word and subjected to severe torture! The rumormonger must have a layer of skin peeled off!
If they still refused to change their tune, they'd be directly charged with slandering the Royal Family and dragged to the guillotine for execution!
"Do you think I'm ugly?"
The Little Princess drooped her ears, looking up to meet the Maid Xiao Xi's eyes and asking.
"How could that be? Princess is clearly very cute!"
The Maid Xiao Xi gently stroked her Princess's head, gently kneading that pair of lively cat ears.
"Don't worry, Princess. I won't let go of any existence that dares slander you!"
Speaking to this point, she suddenly noticed that her Princess's cat tail tip, at some point, had already started continuously swaying.
This represented that her Princess was in a very good mood. She'd coaxed her happy!
Sure enough, she was an easily managed loli Little Princess.
However, what she'd said was all things she would truly do.
Those who dared slander her Princess, not one could think of escaping! These past days, she'd already led people to arrest many fellows spreading rumors.
And it was precisely because of this that Gong could establish a brand new persona for the Little Princess.
"Let's go, Princess. After we finish meeting His Majesty Gong, we can return to the bedchamber to rest."
"Mm......"
The two just kept embracing each other like this, as if returning to several years ago, when the two had also always embraced like this.
As for the Empress, she was received by other maids, following behind the two with an itchy heart.
Damn it, why didn't Mo depend on her like this?
But thinking about it, it made sense. The Maid Xiao Xi had accompanied the Little Princess for so long, experienced many things. The feelings cultivated were very genuine and solid.
And as for her...... Better not mention it!
......
......
Meeting her cheap Father the King basically just involved exchanging a few pleasantries, then mutually showing concern. That basically ended it. After this, her cheap Father the King even had someone prepare many tonics and send them to her bedchamber.
She didn't really care.
She knew that as a nation's sovereign, Gong was definitely busy to death on normal days, so she didn't make unreasonable demands that her cheap Father the King must have a good long chat with her.
Returning to the bedchamber, she just stuck together with her personal Maid Xiao Xi.
And as for the Empress, naturally she was left out to dry on the side.
Hadn't the hentai Empress already taken enough advantage normally? What was wrong with her sticking together with her own personal maid?
In any case, between girls, they couldn't possibly create any problems. And the Maid Xiao Xi was even more proper than the hentai Empress. She absolutely wouldn't do any strange things to her, only holding her in her arms and gently comforting her.
