After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

Lonnie was startled. When she was at Chūkyū Academy, not only did she not obtain the power of Nyūgen, but her relationship with Elucia was also a mess.

Back then, because of a falling out between herself and Elusia, the two of them often didn't get along—I'm sure I must have made the King of Ruohui Palace laugh at me.

but……

……

"Yes, to my surprise. You had already shown considerable potential back then, so I was relieved. Therefore, I also thought I shouldn't interfere too much in your affairs and let you decide the path you want to take in the future."

"How could this be? I was so weak back then, and my personality was so strange. Wasn't I a complete mess?"

Lornes shook her head in a panic, never expecting that Ruohui Palace would praise her.

But Ruo Huigong continued to look at him, as if in a conversation between men, and said earnestly:

"Your Highness, is this your strength, and also Castor's limitation?"

"Uh?"

"In this world, strength is certainly an essential thing. But strength alone is far from enough."

"!"

"In fact, as a hero, you don't have to have any power at all. Instead, you can unite those who have power... make everyone like you and be affectionate towards you. That is your most valuable quality and strength."

Wearing a beautiful evening gown, Ruo Huigong spoke thus.

Chapter 41 The Young Lady's Secret Tea Party

And so, after a grand reception, the girls were also arranged to stay in a luxurious private room.

Although the environment on the Time Shuttle wasn't bad, the treatment in the Kingdom of Mingjin was "royal standard."

Upon seeing the large bed and the bright room, the companions exclaimed in admiration.

……

"Princess Cecilu, can I really live in such a luxurious place?"

"Yes, of course there's no problem. My father also said that everyone can stay for as long as they want."

"Hehe, it always feels like getting into the presidential suite for free."

……

So, everyone settled down in the Kingdom of Mingjin.

However, this wasn't just a trip for tourism; the girl also had to fulfill Dr. Okali's request to collect soil samples from various locations for analysis.

Therefore, Zhou Mixue and the others started working early the next morning. Because Lonnies was feeling unwell, Elusia did not assign her any work.

Although this kind of life was pleasant, Lonnie felt somewhat empty because she couldn't do anything.

So she volunteered to find Princess Cecilu, wanting to do something as well.

……

"Princess Cecilu, is there anything I can do?"

"Hmm... Princess Lonnies, Elusia said she doesn't want to assign you any physically demanding work."

"Oh……"

Lonnie was taken aback; no wonder Elusia had gone out so early in the morning.

It's clear that this black-haired girl is working hard so that she can rest in peace.

Therefore, I cannot slack off!

“Princess Cecilu, even if it’s not about physical strength, I think I should help out in some way now.”

"Hmm, not in terms of physical strength... Ah, right."

Cecilu seemed to remember something and suddenly clapped her hands: "Actually, Princess Lonnies is quite popular in the Kingdom of Mingjin. Many nobles and representatives from the common people have formed groups to meet you."

"what?!"

"However, I know that Lonnie might feel uncomfortable with some people. So I declined most of the meetings, only keeping the tea party request for the young ladies and noble girls. I wonder if Lonnie would like to meet everyone?"

"tea party?"

……

Would you like to meet lots of beautiful girls?

Lonnie, of course, wanted to.

The feeling of being surrounded by girls is simply wonderful... Beautiful girls sitting around a tea party, drinking tea and enjoying delicious desserts, just thinking about it makes me feel so happy, doesn't it?

but……

Lonnies was a little afraid that Elusia would be dissatisfied, and if she didn't "ask for permission," would that cunning and arrogant girl get jealous?

……

"Yes, Lonnies, don't worry, I'll tell Elusia."

"Oh...that puts my mind at ease."

"So, if everything goes well, shall we begin this afternoon?"

……

……

------------------

……

……

And so, Lonnie followed Cecilu's lead.

However, although it was a tea party, the organizer was Cecilu... and for that reason, it was held in a side hall of the palace. Lonnies had once disguised herself as a princess and a hero to handle government affairs here. Now, revisiting this place, she felt a mix of emotions and awe.

(Wow... no wonder it's an ancient country with a rich history, its heritage is truly impressive...)

……

Lonely had also been to the Snow Kingdom, but perhaps because it was a snow kingdom, the decor there was more minimalist and grand, but without much detail.

In the Kingdom of Mingjin, even the street stalls are decorated with beautifully engraved patterns, and your toes won't get a speck of dust even if you walk on them barefoot.

The moment Lonnies approached the side hall, the girls' surprised voices immediately came from inside.

……

"Is...is it Heroine Lonnies?"

"So beautiful, even more beautiful than the rumors and paintings."

……

In the tidy side hall, a dozen or so girls sat. Each of them was wearing a beautiful Lolita dress, and their slender ankles were covered by black and white stockings respectively.

For those who love stockings and Lolita fashion, this was paradise. Lonnie blushed slightly, trying to keep her gaze proper and elegant, so as not to look in any strange direction.

……

"Well, good afternoon, everyone. It's an honor to spend this tea party with you all... Well, I'm not used to court etiquette, so I may have been a little impolite."

……

Because he once played

Cecilu and Lonnies were quite knowledgeable about court etiquette. Hearing this, the girls all showed expressions of flattery and surprise.

"No, how could that be! The Hero Princess back then was really amazing. Even we couldn't tell the difference when he was playing Princess Cecilu."

"We are the ones who have been rude. We are very grateful that Your Highness has taken the time out of your busy schedule to meet with us."

……

The girls all wore smiles, and Cecilia, as their mistress, nodded gently and said:

"Then, please take the seat of honor, Heroine Lonnes. Naronate, prepare the tea. Your Highness, would you like a cup of black tea?"

"Yes, as long as it's normal."

And so, the secret tea party for the girls officially began.

The key figure at this tea party was, of course, Lonnie.

The girls had all come out of curiosity about Lonnie, so after introductions, a beautiful girl with purple hair asked with delight:

"Your Highness, my name is Larona. May I ask you a question?"

"Yes, please ask."

"I have always admired your martial arts skills. I have also heard that you not only defeated the vampire queen Candel, but also that you have traveled the world and defeated many demons who are even more powerful than Candel."

"!"

"But your skin looks so well-maintained! It's so supple and there are no calluses on your fingers... Is there any secret to that? I'm the daughter of a martial artist, so I'm very interested in this."

"what……"

……

When asked this question, Lonnie didn't know how to answer.

Although she did have some martial arts experience and had indeed defeated many powerful enemies, the process was far from pleasant.

For example, when defeating the out-of-control Lianlan, level 6 was activated.

When he defeated Caster, he used his soul counterattack ability, attempting to "perish together" with him by taking advantage of the astringent feeling.

Therefore, I am actually very different from a martial artist in the normal sense.

Seeing the sincerity in the purple-haired girl's eyes, Lonnie decided not to deceive her and instead said:

"Hmm... In a general sense, I'm a bit different from ordinary people, aren't I?"
