I don't want to be a dragon maid!

Shelley's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Anne, her eyes showing shock and fear.

"Well... of course."

Shelley nodded in response.

"Then you know how precious Miss Noah's identity is, right? Ever since the Great Sage was killed hundreds of years ago, the dragons went into exile and left the continent, their traces have disappeared from the continent..."

Anne tapped her lips lightly with her fingers as she spoke slowly.

"In other words, Miss Noah may be the last pure-blooded dragon."

“I know all of that.”

Shelley lowered her head slightly, not daring to look Anne in the eye. She already knew what Miss Anne wanted to say.

"The powerful and unique dragon race is coveted by many..."

Anne looked at Shelley and spoke, word by word, the truth Shelley had to face.

"If a powerful being were to try and take Noah away from you by any means, what would you choose?"

What would my choice be?

Shelley slowly clenched her fist, then looked at Anne with sharp eyes.

"Of course, I will never let him touch Noah. I will protect her even if it costs me everything."

"What if that person uses various temptations to lure you in? For example, giving you wealth and power that you can't even imagine in a lifetime, or fulfilling your dreams..."

“Noah was by my side during my most difficult times. Without her, what meaning do power and wealth have?”

Shelley looked at Anne, her pale blue eyes completely calm, and said calmly.

"As for my dream, the reason I want to achieve it is to protect the people I care about. If I were to achieve my dream by betraying the people I care about, would I still be human? Or would I still be Shelley Brenda?"

"Noah is mine, and I will never let go of him, no matter what! No matter who comes, I will not let him go!"

Having said all that, Shelley finally couldn't hold back any longer. She instinctively grabbed the fork beside her and looked at Anne with a hint of hostility and wariness in her words.

It was as if she were the villain who stole Noah's life, even though this person could decide the life and death of his dreams.

Anne saw Shelley's wary look and gave her a gentle smile.

"Haha, as expected, your determination and will are excellent. I can tell, Miss Shelley, that you are not acting."

"Teacher Annie..."

Shelley slowly suppressed the hostility in her eyes and said softly.

“Miss Shelley, remember what you said today: no matter who the other party is or what methods they use, you must not give up.”

Anne looked at Shelley, a faint smile always on her face.

"Yes, Ms. Annie."

Shelley nodded and responded softly. Although Anne's voice was as gentle as ever, Shelley could still detect a hint of warning in it.

"It's good that you have this will. Then I can support you with peace of mind, after all..."

Annie changed the subject abruptly, and the smile on her face quickly returned to its previous beaming expression.

"A cold-on-the-outside-but-warm-on-the-inside tsundere master and a warm-on-the-outside-but-cold-on-the-inside cunning maid—this pair is just too perfect! Just thinking about it makes me feel like countless ideas are about to pop into my head. It's so amazing!"

"Teacher Annie, Noah and I aren't actually..."

Shelley said weakly from the side.

"I've mustered up the courage now, and I'm ready. I might not have this kind of courage again... Whether to refuse or take the initiative is up to you, Noah."

"I really can't do anything with you, so I'll take the initiative. Just to let you know beforehand, this is my first time too, so I'll be a little awkward. Please don't mind..."

Anne closed her eyes and spoke those words in a voice filled with emotion.

"I couldn't see the youthful and beautiful feeling in Miss Shelley. Look at what she said, I can't help but blush."

"what……"

Shelley covered her cheek, slumped over the table, and wisps of smoke began to rise from her head.

Shelley's biggest wish right now is to find a crack in the ground and disappear into it.

"Lord Shelley and Miss Anne, you seem to be having a very pleasant conversation!"

Noah had finished preparing the last dish, and she placed two plates of pale pink pudding in front of the two of them.

"This is the dessert Pink Dream prepared by Lord Shelley, made from a portion of a slime's internal organs..."

"Alright, no need to say anything more, I already know your master is a great cook."

Annie waved her hand, her mouth watering as she looked at the pink pudding that smelled of honey and milk.

"By the way, Miss Shelley and Miss Noah, may I take some of these dishes and this pudding with me?"

"These are all things that Lady Shelley has done; it's up to her to decide."

Noah stood respectfully to the side, and she said with a smile.

Shelley looked at Noah, then at the table full of delicious food, and said softly.

Please make yourself at home.

"Okay, but saying this might be a bit redundant, but I still want to say it."

As Annie took out the wooden box and packed the food into it, she said softly.

"I brought these dishes not because I'm greedy, but for a very strange reason."

"A strange reason?"

Noah asked curiously.

"Yes, I just wanted to let someone know that there are always people more capable than you."

Anne looked up at Shelley and said with a smile.

""

Chapter Ninety-Two: The only thing I can give up is this pudding.

With Noah and Shelley's help, Anne quickly prepared the meal. After saying goodbye to the two men, she hummed a little tune, hailed a carriage on the street, and left.

Noah and Shelley stayed in the kitchen and began cleaning up the mess.

"Noah, why did you say these dishes were a test for me?"

Shelley turned to look at Noah as she cleared the table and said.

"Since these were done by Lord Shelley, there's nothing wrong with me saying this."

Noah, while cleaning the sticky stuff off the table, spoke calmly.

"How could there be no problem? Those dishes were clearly Noah's improved version, and I just messed everything up."

Shelley looked at Noah and whispered.

"Because it seems that Lord Shelley is very concerned about Miss Anne's opinion, I did it this way."

Noah said calmly.

"After all, Miss Anne is Lord Shelley's teacher. It's only natural to leave a good impression on your teacher."

"But those were clearly Noah's..."

Shelley wanted to continue.

“These things are not important; what is important is Lord Shelley.”

Noah turned around, and looked at Shelley with a tender expression.

“Lady Shelley, you can rely on me a lot. Noah will definitely satisfy you. After all, this is what a maid does. If she were to harm her master’s interests for her own benefit, wouldn’t that be putting the cart before the horse?”

"Noah..."

Shelley's blue eyes sparkled, and a look of emotion appeared on her face.

"Of course, Lord Shelley, if you really mind this and want to compensate me, then we can continue with what happened before..."

Noah's expression changed; her eyes lit up, and she spoke with anticipation.

"Lady Shelley, there's no one else here now, just the two of us in the room. It looks like tonight is going to be a long night..."

"Good heavens, so all you've got is this place you're waiting for me to come, huh?!"

Shelley saw the emotion on Noah's face vanish instantly, and she turned her face away, saying awkwardly.

"But what you said does make a valid point..."

"Then Lord Shelley..."

Noah looked at Shelley, who said excitedly.

"No! Didn't I tell you, you only have one chance? You just didn't seize it!"

Shelley crossed her arms and looked at Noah, muttering softly.

"Who told you not to be quicker..."

"Oh, Lady Shelley, Anne was there! Wouldn't it have been inappropriate to do such things in front of her?"

Noah frowned and continued.

"I don't care, I've only given you one chance, and if you don't seize it, you'll miss your chance!"

Shelley said this with a straight face.

"Lord Shelley, is there really no second chance? Noah knows many positions and will show you a whole new world. Please give Noah a chance!"

Noah approached Shelley, and she spoke earnestly.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you perverted maid?"

Shelley blushed slightly upon hearing Noah's words, and then she raised her fist and shouted.

"What does it matter to me if you know a lot of positions? Don't even think about it if you want me to cooperate. Who would do those things with you, you idiot!"

"Sigh, so Shelley still refused..."
