Serveyia’s explanation was flawless, leaving Lin Sheng with nothing to say in rebuttal.
What’s more, during their argument, Serveyia had already changed his clothes and pulled him out of Qingli Hall.
“Serveyia, where are we going?”
“To Principal Kaili’s Office.”
“What for?”
“Of course, to meet your parents. Little Fox, is there something wrong with your head?”
“But there are so many reception rooms, why meet in the Principal’s Office?”
Leaving aside whether an office is suitable for meeting guests, did he really have to have Principal Kaili watching while meeting his family?
“Because there’s a Teleportation Magic Array in Principal Kaili’s Office, Little Fox, did you forget?”
Now he remembered—he and Serveyia had come to Saint Laia Academy through this magic array.
As the Principal, it made sense to have a teleportation array in her office, but surely there couldn’t be just one. If there were, Principal Kaili’s doorway would have been trampled flat by now.
“But, the arrays can’t only be in one place, so why insist on using Principal Kaili’s Office?”
“It’s simple. This is the only array that allows you to enter Saint Laia without encountering any students.”
Serveyia looked at him like he was a curious child.
“As an all-girls’ academy, Saint Laia strictly limits male entry. Usually, if a student wants to meet family—especially male family members—it can only be done off-campus. But you, Little Fox, are a Princess and also went through a Race Transformation, so the academy made a special exception for your parents to enter.”
“This isn’t to make you feel grateful, but compared to other students, it’s already quite a privilege.”
Ah, so that’s how it was.
An academy without men—it sounded oddly suggestive, somehow.
But now that he’d become like this, wasn’t he a victim of that rule, in a way?
After arriving at the Principal’s Office, Lin Sheng found that Principal Kaili wasn’t there.
He didn’t know if she’d left on purpose for his sake, but being given the space was a huge relief.
After a long, restless wait, the magic array lit up.
Then, two figures appeared before him—his parents.
“Dad, Mom! You’re here.”
At the sight of his parents, Lin Sheng couldn’t hold back any longer. He rushed into his mother’s arms.
If he’d still been in his original male body, he’d probably have bowled his mother over, but now he was lighter, and she could pick him up.
“Yes, we’re here, sweetheart.”
As her son fell into her embrace, Lin Mother inhaled a faint, fresh scent—Lin Sheng’s own fragrance.
“Have you been well these days? Let Mom see if you’ve lost weight.”
Weight seemed to be an unavoidable topic for parents meeting their children.
Lin Sheng’s mother looked him up and down, as if checking if he’d gotten thinner.
But as she stared, her expression grew strange—though with a hint of satisfaction.
“So beautiful… prettier than any star on TV.”
“Mom!”
Flustered by her teasing, Lin Sheng tried to complain, but it sounded more like a pout.
“Hehe, your voice is lovely too.”
“Hmph! Mom, you’re teasing me again!”
Listening to her daughter’s shy protest, Lin Mother’s heart melted.
She finally understood how wonderful it could be to have a daughter.
“All right, I won’t tease you anymore. Have you been comfortable at Saint Laia? Is everyone treating you well?”
“I-I’m fine. Everyone’s taken good care of me.”
“Then, sweetheart, did you… did you get that…?”
“What?”
“Oh, you know, the thing girls get every month.”
Realizing what her mother meant, Lin Sheng’s face turned crimson.
Seeing her child’s reaction, Lin Mother had her answer.
“Do you know how to handle it?”
Already mortified, Lin Sheng hadn’t expected her mother to pursue the topic.
But he also knew this was her way of caring, so he swallowed his embarrassment.
“Serveyia taught me a lot, so I’m fine.”
“Serveyia—is that the maid beside you?”
“Yes, Madam. I am the personal maid assigned to Her Highness by Saint Laia Academy, responsible for her daily life and various matters. Please rest assured, with my service, the Princess will have no difficulties.”
Lin Sheng had wanted to reply, but Serveyia spoke first, addressing his parents.
He turned—and only then realized Serveyia had been standing quietly in a shadowed corner.
If she hadn’t spoken, his parents might not even have noticed the presence of this maid.
“I-Isabella, Your Highness?”
