Three Secret Pouches

“So you’re certain this Space Crystal was sent by Big Sister?”

Gazing at the immaculate Space Crystal placed on the table, Selina’s voice couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

“Your Highness, you should understand this better than I do. A Space Crystal directly configured with coordinates for Emerald City—this item can only be exclusively supplied to the Imperial family.”

Crispin replied helplessly and haltingly, her face full of exasperation.

“…It’s over!”

With the confirmed answer, the girl clutched her head with both hands, letting out a wail. Her body, already fatigued from a day of shopping, now completely collapsed into a squat in the corner.

Her silver hair draped over her body, and a faint tremor could be observed if one looked closely. The item had already been delivered to her, so her identity and everything else must have been known long ago.

‘Brother, didn’t you say this disguise was quite good? I didn’t expect Philicia to have recognized my true identity long ago. Am I really going to fail halfway through my endeavor, collapsing before I even achieve anything?’

Crispin continued, ‘Your Highness, this crystal that Philicia sent over—in Selina’s eyes, where was it just a simple crystal? Although the crystal had no marks, on its flawless exterior, she saw four huge invisible words: You handle this.’

Even though Philicia didn’t explicitly say it, sending someone to deliver the item clearly meant just that! Her sister’s temper, how could she not know it? The fact that Philicia hadn’t personally come to arrest her was already a huge show of respect.

“Crispin, do you think if we pack up now and go to Big Sister to confess our mistake, we might suffer a little less?”

The girl shifted from her head-clutched, squatting posture to looking up, revealing a pitiful expression.

“This… Princess Philicia is just worried about her sister, Your Highness. If you know how to respond wisely, she won’t make things too difficult for you.”

Crispin thought for a moment, then gave a hesitant reply. ‘If you proactively go to confess your mistake, at most it would just be a few days of accompanying her in bed…’

When the two sisters used to live together in the Elf Forest, they were still young and had made mistakes. As an elder sister, Philicia would naturally administer certain punishments to correct errors. However, punishing her with “accompanying her in bed” was, in the eyes of outsiders, simply a form of… ‘favor.’

“No!”

Receiving another suffocating answer, the girl let out an unprecedented shriek.

Crispin’s answer made her recall countless embarrassing moments and scenes from those past five years. Moreover, she couldn’t guarantee that she would maintain her current calm and sobriety if she returned to Philicia’s side.

To be honest, Selina sometimes deeply suspected that Themis, that old schemer, had deliberately added some of her ancestors’ perverse fetishes when creating this body for her.

For instance, what was a perfectly normal older sister in others’ eyes was, in her own eyes, like a drug that made her unable to resist getting closer. As long as she smelled Big Sister’s aura for too long, her mind would unconsciously be left with only two thoughts: acting cute and obedient, and listening to Big Sister.

But if Philicia’s attitude towards her sister were cold, it would be fine. However, reality always moved in a direction that disregarded people’s lives. Philicia was severely obsessed with her sister, something everyone could see. And her own body also possessed uncontrollable sister-obsessed traits.

If she really went to beg for forgiveness just to lessen the scolding, the next day, rumors would spread throughout the Academy that the Student Council President had delayed her work schedule because she was too infatuated with a newly acquired body pillow.

And by then, she herself would probably have already been completely domesticated by Philicia’s sisterly scent into a brainless, obedient little sister.

‘No, mental conditioning is the most terrifying, and the most shameful!’

Selina, having read various adult comics during her Blue Star days, deeply understood this principle.

Before she transmigrated, she was a model youth. She couldn’t just completely change her behavior and genre after a gender swap, could she?

“No, I absolutely cannot walk into a trap!”

Selina painstakingly made up her mind, biting her silver teeth as she spoke.

“But if Your Highness doesn’t go to apologize proactively, Princess Philicia will truly get angry.”

Crispin added weakly, reminding her. She was genuinely a little afraid of the Grand Princess. Although the Grand Princess was perceived as a gentle and kind imperial princess throughout the Elf Kingdom, she also possessed a demeanor most akin to Her Majesty the Empress.

That aura that unconsciously emanated from her would naturally make ordinary Elves submit to her.

“Then what do you suggest I do?”

Selina asked with a long face, at a loss for ideas.

The choices before her now seemed to be only walking into a trap or waiting to be caught.

But both paths led to the same outcome. Was she really destined to become the only mascot in the history of transmigration who could only mooch off her sister?

“Your Highness, I’ve thought for a long time, and I can only think of four words…”

‘Speak, is it some kind of wisdom-filled mantra?’

“Proactive surrender, lenient punishment.”

Selina was so angered by this stupid maid that smoke almost came out of her head. She had thought that when Crispin spoke at this critical moment, there would surely be some way to turn things around. She didn’t expect the solution was to make her walk into a trap. How was this method any different from when Wang Situ tried to persuade Zhuge Village Husband to surrender?

Wang Situ even offered Zhuge Village Husband the temptation of a marquis title. What would she get if she went to the Student Council? The honorable title of the Student Council President’s exclusive body pillow?

‘Wait, Zhuge Village Husband?’

A light bulb seemed to appear out of thin air above the girl’s head, and a bold idea formed in her mind.

Having an idea meant acting immediately.

The girl hurriedly went to her desk, pulled out a pen, tore out three small pieces of paper, and began writing furiously, her head bowed.

Crispin, just as she was about to lean closer to see what her Highness was writing, the next moment, three small cloth bags, already tied shut, were placed in her hands.

“Remember, Crispin, these are the three brilliant plans I entrust to you.”

“If I am forced to go see Big Sister, you don’t have to follow along. Remember, if I go to the Student Council today and don’t come back even after a night, then I have certainly been ensnared!”

Selina solemnly pressed the three cloth bags into Crispin’s hands, her serious tone as if delivering a final testament.

“If I don’t return to the dormitory on my own, then open the brocade bag in your hand. The note inside will tell you how to rescue me. In short, even if I go to the Student Council, you must rescue me, no matter what!”

“This…”

Crispin looked troubled. She truly couldn’t understand. It was clearly just a simple meeting between sisters to acknowledge a mistake, so why did Her Highness treat it as if she were going alone to a Hongmen Banquet?

“Crispin, this is an order!”

“Yes.”

Crispin reluctantly agreed, only treating it as a joke that had to be carried out.

Outside the window, the moonlight was bright, and the Academy of Revelation was peaceful.

Outside the window, the bright moon hung high, and undercurrents surged within the Great Dragon Divine Dynasty.

Outside the window, a blood moon hung in the sky. Within the Demon Tribe’s main hall, the Demon Queen, who instilled fear in countless, also seemed to be secretly orchestrating something.
