“Sad? Little Fox, you’ve probably seen Fina’s kind side so much that you’ve developed a warped perception of her, haven’t you?”
“What do you mean? Are you saying Fina wouldn’t be sad about it?”
To Liuli, if she discovered that the people who liked her were all boys cross-dressing as girls, and that they hadn’t approached her because they truly liked her, she would likely be very upset.
“Heh, Little Fox, did you think that when I said they were ‘wiped out,’ I was just using a figure of speech?”
“If it wasn’t a figure of speech, then…?”
Liuli didn’t really want to believe that Fina would do something like that.
Even when the fact that she had been male was exposed, Fina hadn’t shown too much resistance.
At most, she had been a little extreme, so surely she wouldn’t do anything truly terrible?
“Generally, it’s just a verbal warning. However, if those suitors cross the line, Fina won’t show any mercy. She directly grants their wishes.”
“Grants their wishes? Doesn’t that mean they get what they want?”
“No, no, no. It’s not that simple. Since they’re willing to cross-dress to get close to Fina, and some even go as far as to change their gender for it, Fina can satisfy that little desire of theirs.”
“It just so happens that the Merfolk Secret Technique includes a certain method that can temporarily change a person’s gender. Since they love acting like women so much, she lets them experience what it’s like to be a girl firsthand.”
When Serveyia said this, she seemed to be considering Liuli’s feelings, as she added another remark.
“Of course, you’re different, Little Fox. You don’t have so many schemes, which is why Fina is so close to you. As for those other people, Fina has her own methods for handling them.”
“She lets them experience what it’s like to be pursued, what it’s like to be pestered relentlessly, and, in the process, lets them experience what it’s like to be a wife and mother.”
“They… they even have to have children?”
To Liuli, this punishment was far too severe.
For any ordinary man, turning into a girl was one thing, but actually being married off as a wife and even giving birth?
Was that kind of punishment really okay?
“So they have to live as women for the rest of their lives?”
“Not necessarily. After all, some are just a bit annoying, so there’s no need to go that far. A temporary change is enough to count as a punishment.”
“But…”
Liuli initially wanted to ask what would happen to the children born during that temporary change.
However, after a moment’s thought, she understood.
If they were truly willing to give birth to a child, they had probably already crossed that mental hurdle long ago.
In other words, their feminization was likely already complete.
It wasn’t something she needed to worry about.
Compared to Fina’s little secret, Liuli was more curious about something else.
“Serveyia, how do you know so much?”
Even if this wasn’t top-secret information, it shouldn’t be something broadcast to the public.
“Fina told me, of course. After all, Fina did come to me for advice. Isn’t it normal for me to know?”
“Advice? What kind of advice?”
“Advice on what kind of appearance to give those men after their transformation. To be honest, I have a bit of experience in that field.”
As expected, she shouldn’t have hoped for a serious answer from this maid with an evil taste.
‘Besides, what did she mean by a bit of experience? Where on earth did she get that experience?’
“So, is the fact that I’m like this also thanks to you, Serveyia?”
“Not at all. Your body is a product of the Academy Elders and the Ancient Will. If it had been me, you would have fallen into my hands long ago, Little Fox.”
“Serveyia, why do I feel like you don’t act like a Princess at all?”
“I don’t act like a Princess? Then what do you think I’m like, Little Fox?”
Seeming to find Liuli’s words interesting, Serveyia leaned her face a few inches closer with great interest.
This made Liuli quite shy, unsure if Serveyia would be angry if she spoke her mind.
“Well, Little Fox, why don’t you tell me? What do I seem like to you?”
“I—I’ll say it then! I think you’re just like a female hooligan, Serveyia!”
After saying this, Liuli cautiously glanced at Serveyia.
Confirming that she didn’t seem angry, Liuli became bold again.
“What kind of Princess gives that kind of advice to people!”
“Alright, alright. Little Fox, isn’t it normal for people to have a few hobbies? And technically, my hobby hasn’t affected you, has it?”
“Hmph!”
Left speechless and a bit annoyed by Serveyia’s words, Liuli sat down beside her unhappily.
Liuli had always thought she was the dense one, but Serveyia was even more obtuse than her.
At a time like this, shouldn’t she just go along with her and comfort her?
Serveyia watched the Little Fox, who was sulking and refusing to look at her, and found it somewhat amusing.
Every single one of Liuli’s movements was practically screaming, ‘Come comfort me!’
As Serveyia looked at the Little Fox, she thought to herself that it was no wonder Fina had been unwilling to believe her true gender at first.
Anyone would be confused by these subconscious feminine behaviors.
‘Is the influence of the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox bloodline really that strong?’
It could change a person into this state.
But then again, regarding that Senior Jiuyun whom Liuli had mentioned before, Serveyia had checked the family records and finally found some mentions in a hidden corner.
It was said that while Senior Jiuyun was formidable in battle, she was a very gentle woman in her daily life.
Furthermore, there were rumors from unknown sources that her partners were all very happy.
Serveyia subconsciously moved closer to Liuli.
Seeing the way Liuli reflexively retreated the moment she realized Serveyia was getting close, Serveyia couldn’t help but chuckle.
Having previously doubted the authenticity of the records, she believed them now.
“Little Fox, are you inviting me with that cute look of yours?”
“What invitation! Serveyia, how could you possibly think I’m inviting you!”
Liuli was truly fuming.
She didn’t know if Serveyia really failed to realize she was angry, or if she realized it but chose to keep teasing her anyway.
The former would mean Serveyia was truly dense, while the latter would mean Serveyia had a truly evil taste.
Neither was acceptable to Liuli.
She decided that until Serveyia apologized, she wouldn’t speak to her again.
