Of course, Lu Qing herself didn't actually want to go to the toilet; she only asked because she wanted to familiarize herself with the area.
"How old are you, Eileen?" Lu Qing asked Eileen, silently memorizing the path she had walked.
"Your Highness, I am twenty-six years old this year."
"You're twenty-six already. Have you ever heard of psychic abilities?" Lu Qing tried to glean some information from the maid.
“I think I’ve heard of it; it’s a very rare ability,” Eileen replied.
"Oh?" Lu Qing hadn't had high hopes, but she was surprised that Eileen had heard of it, so she quickly asked, "Then do you know what psychic abilities are?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know much about it. I've only heard people say it's something like the ability to communicate with the dead." Eileen paused, hesitated for a moment, and then continued:
“I’ve heard that every pope of the Church of Hongli Sam possesses this ability, or that only those with psychic abilities can become popes.”
"I see..."
Lu Qing nodded, feeling that she understood a little.
As the daughter of the thirty-third king of Vanhustan, she seems to possess psychic abilities, but no one knows for sure yet.
The dream message that she would become a highly regarded saint of the papacy by Pope John Paul II was probably also due to her psychic abilities.
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that what Eileen said is true.
She was, after all, just a servant, and knew far too little. Her accuracy was questionable, and she couldn't be trusted entirely.
"Your Highness, we've arrived." As they spoke, the two had reached the entrance to the restroom.
"Well, hard work."
Nodding, Lu Qing walked into the restroom. After all, this was the reason she had given; she couldn't very well say she wasn't going once she got there.
Pushing open the wooden door, the interior layout was somewhat unexpected; it looked almost like a modern toilet, only with a retro style.
Besides that, there's even toilet paper here!
It's truly a dream world; aside from the lack of a flush button, it's almost identical to a modern toilet. The only thing I can't stand is...
"Er..."
A foul odor filled her nostrils, causing Lu Qing to frown. If possible, she would definitely send a few people over to clean this place thoroughly. Ideally, it should be cleaned every day.
She's a princess, after all; sending a few people to clean the toilets shouldn't be a problem for her.
"Let's go." Lu Qing said to Eileen as she came out of the restroom.
"Yes."
Eileen nodded, and then led Lu Qing down to the lower level of the castle.
Hmm... Actually, she didn't know if she was in a castle, but according to the general settings of Western fantasy worlds, kings and nobles should all live in castles.
Following the stairs down, Lu Qing was led by Eileen to the place where they ate.
The space here is very large, and there are many people. It seems that the people who live in the castle eat here.
A servant covered in dirt, guards in armor, and a blacksmith drenched in sweat...
Lu Qing followed Eileen's voice, passing through this space and heading towards the more central part of the castle.
"Who is that person? He looks unfamiliar."
"Shut up, you idiot! That's Princess!"
"Is she really Her Highness? How did you know?!"
"Nonsense! A young, unfamiliar lady who lives in a castle and has such a noble status—who else could she be but a princess!"
The servants in the corners of the two rooms were talking to each other. Although they were filled with awe, they couldn't help but glance at the princess out of the corner of their eyes.
Lu Qing overheard their quiet conversation and gleaned some information from it.
It seems that she, as a princess, is not very well-known; even the servants living in the same castle do not recognize her.
It's unclear whether this is due to the background setting or a deliberate design choice by the dream game to make it easier for her to move around.
After walking for a while, the two arrived at a large gate.
Eileen stopped, then closed her eyes, bowed to Lu Qing, and stepped back.
Seeing Eileen's actions, Lu Qing knew without a doubt that she had arrived at her seat, so she pushed open the door in front of her and went in.
After pushing open the door, she saw the scene inside the room.
The striking red carpet, the dining table covered with a pristine white tablecloth, and the enormous brass chandelier make this room noticeably more luxurious than the others.
"Why did you take so long?" The man sitting at the front of the table, dressed in a noble robe, looked at Lu Qing with a dignified expression.
Beside him sat a woman with a full head of silver hair. The moment Lu Qing saw her, she was reminded of her mother in the dark forest.
I briefly recalled the knowledge recorded in the skill [Noble Etiquette].
She bent her knees slightly, lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands, and nodded, saying, "Good morning, Father, Mother."
"Good morning, Qing." The Empress nodded.
"Sit down." The king no longer pressed her for the reason for her lateness, but pointed to the wooden chair next to the dining table, gesturing for her to sit down.
"Do the King and Queen only have me as their daughter?" Lu Qing thought to herself, sitting on the wooden chair, feeling a little strange.
Logically speaking, a country should have many princes and princesses, since there weren't many entertainment activities in the Middle Ages, and when they had nothing to do, they could only do *that*.
Furthermore, without condoms, and since men almost never stop halfway through, unless the king has kidney deficiency, so...
Ahem, Lu Qing, what are you thinking about? This is not something a pure and beautiful girl like her should be thinking about.
"Let's eat," the king said, oblivious to his daughter's unusual behavior.
"Mmm." With a soft nod, Lu Qing began to eat her first breakfast as a princess.
White bread, ham, and milk, but the king replaced the milk with some unknown beverage, perhaps wine.
If I were to ask her for her opinion.....
It doesn't taste as good as what she makes at home.
P.S.: The reference image for the hairstyle in the previous chapter has been posted in the comments section. I hadn't reviewed it before, so I came up with a solution.
Although it has been sent out, its collectible value has been greatly reduced. I apologize.
I got my second vaccine shot today, and it hurt a bit more than the first one.
A cold plus a vaccine—does that count as having a double buff?
Actually, this chapter should have been updated much earlier, but I got hungry.
While having a late-night snack, I wanted to find something to watch, so I watched "The Solitary Gourmet." I had heard of it before, but had never watched it.
After finishing my meal, I got so engrossed in the writing that I barely managed to pull myself back to it, and I'm only just now finishing...
I'm so tired, and my throat hurts too. I'm going to sleep.

Chapter 451: The Princess's Delivery Mission
"The spirit communication ceremony will be held tomorrow, won't it?" the king suddenly said.
"A spirit communication ritual?" Lu Qing was puzzled and didn't know how to answer the king's question.
After thinking for a moment, she nodded and softly hummed in agreement.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just rest well today. I'll have someone talk to your teacher." The king put down his knife and fork and looked at Lu Qing.
"Ok."
Nodding again, Lu Qing analyzed the message conveyed in the king's words.
The psychic ritual sounds like it's related to the talent of psychic communication. Judging from the information in the dream background, I seem to have the talent of psychic communication, but no one knows it.
Is this psychic ritual specifically used to test whether someone possesses psychic abilities?
Or is it a ritual to formally awaken psychic abilities?
If that's really the case, then there should be quite a few people attending this ceremony. I wonder if I'll be able to run into Fang Qingrou and the others.
As for the teacher the king mentioned...
This must be the princess's private tutor. I wonder what she teaches. Since the king said we don't have to go today, let's ignore it for now.
"I've finished eating..."
After finishing breakfast, Lu Qing wiped her mouth with a towel, got up, and prepared to leave.
The atmosphere at the dinner was rather awkward, since the king and queen were strangers to her.
"Wait a moment." Just as Lu Qing was about to leave, the king suddenly called out to her.
"Is there something you need, Father?" Hearing the king's voice, Lu Qing could only turn around and stop, facing the king.
"Hmm... Take this letter and go to the military camp to find Myron Zahad. Tell him it's from me." The king said, taking out a neatly folded white letter from his robes.
"I see."
Lu Qing reached out and took the letter from the king, feeling somewhat strange.
Logically speaking, shouldn't the task of delivering messages be entrusted to subordinates? Why specifically ask the princess to deliver it during a meal?
However, she didn't think too much about it and left the room after taking the letter.
"Eileen, do you know how to get to the military camp?" Lu Qing asked Eileen after leaving the room.
"I know." Eileen nodded and asked, "Is Your Highness planning to go to the military camp?"
"Yes." Lu Qing nodded, not bothering to hide anything, and took the letter out of her bosom, saying, "My father asked me to deliver this letter to Myron Zahad in the military camp."
Although it's unclear why the king sent his daughter to deliver the message, it's unlikely to be something that needed to be done discreetly.
After all, it was already eye-catching enough that Her Highness the Princess personally entered the military camp, so there was really no need to hide it.
Moreover, she genuinely didn't know how to get to the barracks.
"Is it Knight Myron?" Eileen asked, somewhat surprised, after hearing her words.
"You know?" Lu Qing was slightly taken aback, not expecting that Eileen knew the person the king had sent the letter to.
