"your Highness!"
The knights knelt and bowed to Ye Qingxian, who seemed somewhat at a loss, but still responded with a salutation.
Ding! You have obtained the temporary identity "Princess of the Kingdom of Fania" and your reputation with the NPCs in Fania has reached Exalted.
Ye Qingxian noticed that the names above all the NPCs' heads had turned blue.
In the game "Faya Continent", red names represent hostile, yellow names represent neutral, and green names represent friendly.
Blue, on the other hand, represents a stronger relationship—allies.
Logat also addressed Ye Qingxian with respect: "Please get into the carriage. We will take you to the nearest post station where you can rest for a while."
"Thank you."
"You are a princess now, no thanks are necessary."
"All right……"
Ye Qingxian boarded the carriage, then lowered the curtain and took several deep breaths in the carriage where she was alone.
The knights outside mounted their warhorses and escorted the caravan forward.
The atmosphere was very quiet. The knights remained silent, and Ye Qingxian could only hear the faint sound of wheels. She couldn't help but look at the mission description again before her heart finally settled down.
Regardless of the outcome, she will receive a reward. Even in the worst-case scenario of dying in an attack, she can still claim her compensation from the Fania royal family after being resurrected.
Before, she didn't understand why the knights would look for her, a weakling who wasn't even at max level. Now she seemed to understand a little. Most pampered princesses are just fragile, decorative figures, right?
Casting her as a princess is truly a natural fit for her.
Occasionally, the howling of wolves could be heard in the forest, but Ye Qingxian felt completely safe, as she was escorted by more than a dozen kingdom knights, a force that was more than capable of dealing with all the monsters in the wild.
The knights held torches, illuminating the moving caravan. Ye Qingxian, inside the carriage, couldn't help but shiver; the temperature at night was actually quite low.
Unable to log off, Ye Qingxian could only sleep in the game.
The carriage was spacious enough that she lay down casually and immediately fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, voices outside broke Ye Qingxian's sleep, and the carriage stopped at some point.
“Your Highness,” it was Logat’s voice, “Please rest at the inn. We will depart tomorrow morning.”
"it is good……"
A dazed Ye Qingxian stepped down from the carriage, and a girl dressed as a maid came over to help her: "Please come with me."
"Uh-huh……"
Ye Qingxian was extremely sleepy, so she simply put her brain on standby, knowing that the NPCs around her would protect her anyway.
The maid carried the drowsy Ye Qingxian to bed, where she lay down on the soft, large bed and quickly drifted off to sleep.
When the sun rose the next morning, Ye Qingxian woke up to find that her body had undergone a complete transformation. The dedicated maid had already dressed her and put on her jewelry before she even woke up.
Wearing a gorgeous long dress, she stood in front of a full-length mirror, somewhat unable to believe that the girl in the mirror was herself.
Ye Qingxian stared at the mirror for a long time; she had only ever fantasized about this scene when she was a child.
She knew very well that these things did not truly belong to her; they were merely an illusion, a dream.
The life indicator shows that she has 34 to 39 days left to live. During this time before her life ends, she will have a princess experience in the game. Even if it is just a dream, it is still worth being happy about.
Thinking of this, she smiled optimistically, and with the help of the maid, she tidied her clothes and went outside the post station.
Logat had been waiting for a long time, ready to take Ye Qingxian to the convoy.
The inn where we rested last night was on the edge of a town. When the townspeople saw Ye Qingxian, they all took the initiative to greet her.
Ye Qingxian noticed that their names were all in blue, which meant that everyone in the entire Kingdom of Fania recognized her as a princess, and they accepted her identity without needing any special explanation.
"A long, long time ago, a giant dragon suddenly appeared~"
Several children were humming a nursery rhyme by the roadside when an adult nearby heard them and rushed over, kicking each of them on the backside: "The princess is right here, what are you singing nonsense for!"
He then hurriedly ran over to apologize: "Your Highness, Sir Knight, please don't take offense at a child's words."
"It's alright, it's alright, don't hit the child so easily." Ye Qingxian felt a little confused. Did the Kingdom of Fania not allow singing in front of the princess?
Logat, on the other hand, frowned and looked very unhappy: "Singing such an ominous nursery rhyme when the caravan is about to depart is an unforgivable sin."
"Please spare their lives!"
The town resident immediately knelt down, pleading in fear for the children's lives.
"What exactly happened?" Ye Qingxian was increasingly confused. She looked at Logat and said, "They're just a bunch of kids. Even if they offended me... never mind, I don't think they're guilty."
In fact, Ye Qingxian had no idea what had happened.
"Yes, they should thank you for your forgiveness."
Logat snorted coldly, and almost everyone present fled.
He then explained to Ye Qingxian, who was completely bewildered.
It turns out that the nursery rhyme the children were singing earlier was about a dragon kidnapping a princess.
To give an analogy, it's like when sailors are about to set sail, if someone foolishly sings a song about capsizing, they'll probably get hung up on the deck and whipped by the other crew members.
"So it was just because it was considered unlucky..."
Ye Qingxian really wanted to complain. Everyone was tired of hearing the story of the dragon and the princess. These two characters were practically the workhorses of all kinds of adventure novels. Add a hero to the mix, and they appeared with extremely high frequency.
"In short, it's an ominous nursery rhyme, especially for Her Highness the Princess."
While a dragon kidnapping a princess is a low-probability event, it is an extremely high-probability event in the Kingdom of Fania.
The princess has never been kidnapped yet, because she was still a child and didn't have to worry about being abducted by dragons while staying in the safe capital.
As princesses grow up, they must follow tradition and make diplomatic visits to other kingdoms from time to time, where they may encounter dangers.
According to the royal family's plan, even if they encounter a dragon, it will be a fake princess who gets kidnapped.
The fake princess is looking for an adventurer from another world who can resurrect infinitely, so even if she gets eaten by a dragon, it won't matter.
Despite the knights now treating Ye Qingxian as a real princess, when the dragon actually appeared, their first reaction was to abandon the carriage and retreat as planned.
Elite kingdom knights cannot afford to suffer losses, while otherworldly adventurers who can be resurrected after death can be used as tools.

Section 21.018 Supplementary Chapter (Revised)
Getting a homebody dragon to go out is arguably the most difficult thing in the world. To this end, the monsters of the Netherworld Dragon Abyss used all sorts of methods in order to get Esther to go out more.
Unfortunately, they have never succeeded even once.
I'm going out today.
When Esther announced the news, the entire Netherworld Dragon Abyss was in an uproar.
"Go out and kidnap the princess."
The enthusiasm of the crowd quickly died down.
So, aside from kidnapping the princess, this homebody dragon never goes out?
After handing over the management of the Netherworld Dragon Abyss to her subordinates, Esther changed her clothes. Seeing that her tail looked unsightly with its bare surface, she specially tied a black bow on it.
Although she rarely goes out, whenever she does, Esther always dresses up carefully.
Her identity changed dramatically, from "Lord of the Netherworld, Estia" to "Silver Comet, Estia".
It's just a title, and she can choose which one to use.
Estia stared at her achievements panel, lost in thought.
"Princess Kidnappers: A total of 35 different princesses have been kidnapped, current progress 32/35"
She didn't intentionally pursue any achievements, which is why she accumulated 32 progress points over a thousand years.
The current Fania royal family is in its 35th generation, and if every princess is included, this time they will be able to achieve this goal.
But one or two were missed.
However, whether or not she achieves her goal is irrelevant. If you ask Esther what she wants, her answer will only be one thing—wealth.
The achievement system offers no rewards and is not worth paying attention to.
"Let's go out! Let's go out!"
Using the teleportation array, Estia was directly transported to the wilderness area after leaving the Netherworld Dragon Abyss instance.
Princess Fania's convoy route was already marked on the map; she just needed to get there in advance and wait.
At this moment, Ye Qingxian, sitting in the carriage, was unaware that she was about to become increasingly dangerous.
"Bandit attack!"
Suddenly, a knight's shout came from outside the carriage, followed by the clash of swords and the neighing of warhorses.
Ye Qingxian hesitated whether to peek out, but in those short ten seconds, the shouts of battle outside stopped.
"I hope I didn't frighten you, Your Highness?"
Logat lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Ye Qingxian noticed blood on his armor. At the same time, the smell of blood immediately filled her nostrils, making her feel nauseous.
"N-nothing's wrong. What's the situation outside?"
"They're just a bunch of overconfident bandits."
"I see..."
The knights are quite reliable.
"The convoy will continue on, please don't worry."
