Impossible

“Finally, our young lady is out with a friend.”
“Finally, Her Highness the Saintess is socializing normally again…”

The two furtive figures sighed simultaneously, their voices filled with emotion and excitement. The red dragoness beside them almost shed tears of emotion.

At the same time, they exchanged glances, their eyes burning with comradely fervor.

“Crispin, human. I am Miss Selina’s maidservant.”

“Norin, Red Dragon Tribe. Also Her Highness Aurelia’s attendant.”

The two grasped each other’s hands excitedly, as if they were long-lost kindred spirits.

Last night, when Crispin learned that her Highness was finally going out for normal social interaction with a friend, as her maidservant, she naturally prepared to serve her.

‘Was there any problem with the friend at hand?’

The result was that during their scouting, she bumped into Norin, the red dragoness, who had the same idea and was also scouting. The two revealed their identities and realized their mistresses were in similar situations, so they immediately hit it off and secretly began these little schemes.

“It’s truly, truly not easy. It’s been so long since I’ve seen Her Highness arrange to go out and play with a classmate.”

“Yes, yes, it’s not easy! Now, we just need to follow behind them and keep an eye on them; we’ll ensure nothing goes wrong.”

Crispin also nodded beside her, speaking with emotion.

“Indeed, this position offers a good view, very suitable for tracking and observation…”

A clear, soft voice beside them echoed simultaneously. Crispin and Norin shared the sentiment, both nodding.

Then, they suddenly reacted, turning their heads to the source of the voice. Behind the tree, a girl in a school uniform had appeared at some point. When Crispin clearly saw the newcomer’s features, she almost screamed.

Fortunately, Helen quickly covered her mouth and warned her with her eyes.

“Who, who are you? Why are you secretly following us?”

Norin took a few steps back, a hint of vigilance in her dragon eyes.

“Helen, Head of the Student Council’s Organization Department. Sent by the President to protect Miss Selina’s safety, and also to deliver something.”

Helen, pulling out her student ID to confirm her identity, also pulled out the Space Crystal she carried with her and handed it to Crispin.

“Give this crystal to Princess Selina and tell her it’s from the President. She must accept it.”

Crispin stared blankly at the crystal offered to her, her deep green eyes somewhat confused. She gently took the crystal, her voice clearly lacking confidence.

“Your Highness, she’s been discovered?!”

“Needless to say, she was discovered long ago. Otherwise, why would I be sent to protect and deliver the crystal?”

Helen brushed a strand of messy hair from her ear, sighing softly.

“Then will Phili… no, will Miss’s sister take Her Highness back?”

Noticing a red dragoness listening in, Crispin coughed twice, deliberately changing her address.

“No, the President merely asked me to deliver the item and also to undertake tracking and protection duties.”

Hearing this, Crispin visibly relaxed, but at the same time, she felt a little disheartened. As long as His Highness continued to disguise herself as a human for another day, she would also have to keep up the pretense. Elves were a freedom-loving race, and this sense of constraint and restriction was something she disliked.

If she were taken back by Princess Philicia, at most, she would just be reprimanded along with Her Highness. But if they weren’t caught, it meant these tough days would continue.

“What are you two talking about? Why would the Student Council President send someone to follow classmate Selina?”

The red dragoness Norin, listening to their conversation, completely failed to understand. Crispin and Helen exchanged glances, then looked at Norin’s innocent eyes.

“It’s nothing, it’s just that our young lady and the Student Council President have some… um, some acquaintance. So the President just sent over a gift and also sent someone to look after our young lady a bit more…”

Although Elves disliked lying, for the safety and identity secrecy of His Highness, Crispin had to resort to this strategy.

“Oh, so that’s how it is. I didn’t expect the Student Council President to be such a nice person.”

A hint of approval flashed in Norin’s eyes, without any suspicion.

“Indeed.”

Helen echoed from the side, but her expression clearly showed her trying to stifle a laugh.

She had thought that going shopping would be like playing, and time would pass quickly.

But in fact, after personally experiencing the feeling, Selina truly realized that she still had a certain distance from being a complete girl.

For example, the act of shopping for clothes. It seemed like just going to various clothing stores to try on clothes and bargain.

But in practice, simply following Aurelia’s pace for an entire morning had already made her feel as if blisters were forming on the soles of her feet.

To be honest, if she were asked to fight for an entire morning, Selina might not feel so tired.

Going shopping was truly exhausting both physically and mentally. And wearing high heels all day, by the time noon break arrived, the girl felt like her legs were about to give out.

She was already utterly exhausted, yet Aurelia, also wearing high heels, showed no sign of fatigue on her face.

Throughout the shopping spree, she was frantically trying on clothes and buying, buying, buying. Those brightly colored dresses seemed like an inexhaustible stimulant in her eyes, urging her to constantly move to the next store.

It wasn’t until noon, when the two arrived at a street-side cafe, laden with bags, that they finally caught their breath.

Aurelia looked at the weary girl opposite her, smiled, and elegantly took a sip from her teacup.

“How do you like a girl’s life?”

She seemed to intentionally raise the subject.

“What’s there to like? It’s just like this; it’s always been like this since birth, I’m already used to it. Rather, I’d say my personality is rather unique, making it difficult for me to experience the same excitement other girls feel when shopping.”

Selina picked up the coffee in front of her, took a sip to refresh herself, and replied in a natural tone.

“Mhm, I can tell. Although neither of us enjoys socializing, compared to me, classmate Selina sometimes seems a bit more boyish in certain details.”

“Perhaps it has something to do with my family’s upbringing. We are just a small, unknown noble family in the Empire now. My family doesn’t pay much attention to my etiquette education, and my personality has been rather unruly since childhood. My parents also…”

Walking around the street in such elaborate dresses was still too much for Selina. During the shopping trip, Aurelia had also dragged her to buy many clothes. By now, she had also changed out of her previous outfit. Currently, she was wearing a slightly form-fitting, belted dress.

The two sat on the open-air second floor of the cafe, a large parasol shading their heads. A gentle breeze rustled the girls’ skirts and hair, swaying with the butterflies. Her black hair and fair thighs created a stark contrast. Sitting there, she resembled a serene girl, radiating infinite beauty.

Facing the wind, Aurelia intently scrutinized the girl’s face, pondering for a few seconds. Then, she let out a silent, helpless chuckle and shook her head.

She must have lost her mind. Although the girl before her was somewhat special, her inherent, soul-deep elegant aura could absolutely not be faked by a male.

To suspect she was Conde based solely on a few clues discovered while shopping—that was too absurd. She was indeed too impatient. Perhaps she should wait a bit longer…

Selina might have some connection to Conde, but she absolutely could not be him.
