There's a big problem with dreams in this world.

This made me feel unwell. Although I started writing much earlier than usual, I still got stuck and only finished writing it now.

Ugh, double update...

Next time for sure!

P.S.: I've tidied up the outline a bit. After slacking off for so many days, it's time to get serious.

I thought about it carefully for a long time last night.

I'm an adult now, and I shouldn't keep getting stuck in the same old problems.

Chapter 467: Miu Miu, my Miu Miu, so incredibly cute!

(??stare........

“Uh…” The maid was stared at by Lu Qing with such a resentful gaze, and the spoon in her hand trembled slightly, causing a lot of the little meat on it to fall off.

"Cough cough......."

Although they didn't know why Her Highness the Princess was here, the servants reacted quite quickly.

Noticing the longing in the princess's eyes, he immediately put down the vegetables on the serving spoon, then scooped a large piece of meat into Lu Qing's lunchbox. However, to ensure a more balanced diet, he still pretended to put two leafy greens on top.

?(?>?

Upon seeing this, Lu Qing's expression softened again, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

The servant was momentarily stunned by the sight of the princess's beautiful smile.

He recalled his daughter with her sweet tooth, and a happy smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.

The next moment, he significantly increased the weight of Lu Qing's lunchbox, making the side dishes much more plentiful than the one Yorick had taken earlier.

"Young people should eat more; it's good for their health," the maid thought, watching Lu Qing take away her boxed lunch with a satisfied expression.

"Gulp..." Ryder, who was following closely behind Lu Qing, couldn't help but swallow hard. He felt like he was about to starve to death.

He had been too nervous the night before, which caused him to have insomnia and fall asleep very late. As a result, he was very tired when he woke up and didn't have a good appetite, so he didn't eat much.

Having stood in the church all morning, I was starving. Seeing how plentiful the church's boxed meals were, I couldn't help but feel a little excited.

However, when he received the boxed lunch, he realized something was wrong.

Strange, why is there so much green?

A hint of doubt appeared on Ryder's face. He felt that his portion was different from the one that the princess had taken before.

"Where's the meat?" Ryder couldn't help but ask.

"Hey, young man, you should eat more vegetables, they're nutritious," the servant uncle said earnestly, patting Ryder on the shoulder.

"I......."

Why is there so much meat in Princess's lunchbox? What happened to the promised balanced nutrition?

Ryder had originally intended to say that, but upon reflection, he realized that his status was not comparable to that of the princess. In addition, there were many people queuing behind him, and it seemed impolite to delay their time, so he took his lunchbox and left.

........

"You don't mind if I sit here, do you?"

As Lu Qing was quietly finishing her lunchbox, she suddenly heard Muir's teasing voice. She looked up and saw Muir standing next to her after receiving her lunchbox.

"Of course I don't mind," Lu Qing replied with a smile.

Perhaps because of her status as a princess, no one in the entire Papacy's dining hall dared to sit next to her.

Everyone here is a young person who has just come of age this year. Their first thought upon seeing the princess is one of awe, not of trying to curry favor with her.

Even those who truly harbored such thoughts could only retreat after taking a few steps under the aura emanating from Lu Qing while she ate.

This aura was obviously useless against Muir, but she could sense it, which was why she teased Lu Qing.

Seeing that the thief had sat down next to the princess, whom no one dared to approach, the other young people who had received the blessing of the sacred tree all looked over with curious eyes.

Of course, it was just curiosity; there was no backbiting or displeasure involved, as is often seen online.

"Oh dear, Your Highness is quite the attention-grabber," Muir teased, sensing the gazes around him.

"Hehehe... It's alright, oh, right!" Lu Qing chuckled twice, then, as if remembering something, took out a blue hair ribbon from her bosom.

She stood up, went to Muir's side, and before Muir could react, tied the dazed girl's hair behind her head, gathering her loose long hair together.

"Wait...wait, so many people are watching..." Muir blushed as he felt his hair being manipulated.

"Oh, what's there to be shy about? It's just tying your hair!" Lu Qing said, her hands moving quickly.

“Who would tie someone else’s hair in public?” Muir protested.

"Hmph, I am a princess, of course I can do whatever I want." Lu Qing snorted and stopped what she was doing.

"Ta-da, all tied!"

Lu Qing returned to her seat and looked at Muir's hair, which she had tidied up, with a satisfied expression.

She originally intended to give the headband to Fang Qingrou, and a beige beret to Muir, but after actually meeting Muir, she realized that the beret didn't suit her very well.

The main reason is that the other person was wearing thief's clothes, which didn't seem suitable for wearing a beret.

Then, on a whim, she took out the blue hairband that she originally intended to give to Fang Qingrou and tied it on Muir's head.

The deep blue hair tied together with the light blue hair looked much better than she had imagined.

Well, since there was only one hairband, Lu Qing tied it behind Muir's head, and even specially designed it to look like a bow. If there were two...

If you really have two hairs, then of course you should wear pigtails!

Imagining Muir with twin ponytails in her mind, she couldn't help but think that she must let her try it someday.

"It won't look too weird, will it..." At the same time, Muir was touching the headband on the back of her head. Since there was no mirror, she didn't know how Lu Qing had tied it for her.

"Don't worry, it looks great." Seeing that Muir seemed a little insecure, Lu Qing praised her.

"This is a gift from me. Look, everyone around is staring at you in amazement. It must be very beautiful." To prove that Muir was indeed very beautiful at the moment, Lu Qing pointed to the people around who were secretly watching the two of them.

“They’re all looking at you…” Muir blushed and whispered.

"Of course, I'm also watching you, after all, Miu Miu is so cute." Lu Qing said to Miu Miu with a smile.

For a long time, she seemed to always be the one being teased; she never imagined she'd have the chance to tease someone else one day. Heh heh~

Thinking of this, a sly smile appeared on her face, making Muir's heart tremble, and he suspected that Lu Qing had done something to the hairband.

Unfortunately, there was nothing here to see what she looked like at that moment, and it wouldn't be very polite to just take off the hairband, so they could only suppress their discomfort and give up.

Chapter 468: That hateful allure, meow~

"Your Highness seems to have a good relationship with that thief."

"It's not just that they have a good relationship; Her Highness the Princess even personally tidied her hair."

"I hope no one heard me saying bad things about her..."

Lu Qing and Muir's actions attracted a lot of attention. Well, those who wear crowns always attract attention, don't they?

Lu Qing didn't really care about these people, but Muir felt awkward because she was worried that Lu Qing might have tampered with the hairband she was wearing.

"Don't worry, nothing's been done up there," Lu Qing said with a smile, having seen through Muir's thoughts.

"Perhaps."

Muir subconsciously reached out and touched the headband on his head. He still didn't notice anything wrong, so he gradually relaxed.

The two ate their lunch quietly and quickly finished off their boxed meals.

Yorick hadn't yet summoned them to assemble, so the two sat down and began to talk, sharing the information they had gathered.

First, neither of them knew the location of Fang Qingrou and Hao Meng. Second, because of their different identities, the dream information they received was different, and even their secondary targets were not the same.

Aside from the Thousand Jewels and the Hunter's Trial, Lu Qing has only three secondary goals: [gaining the Pope's approval in psychic training], [redeeming more than five vengeful souls], and [collecting and personally engraving ten masks].
