When Liuli arrived at the square for departure, the scene was completely different from what she had initially imagined.
There wasn’t a massive crowd gathered to see them off, and it didn’t seem like the farewell ceremony was intended to last very long.
To be honest, this made Liuli relax quite a bit; not having to face so many people was always a good thing in her book.
“Did the Princess rest well last night?”
Upon seeing her arrival, Principal Kaili was the first to come forward.
Aili was hiding behind Kaili, smiling and waving at Liuli.
“It was okay, just a bit nervous…”
Liuli eventually chose to tell the truth.
After all, if even Fina could see the magical traces of exhaustion on her face, there was no reason Principal Kaili wouldn’t notice.
There was no point in trying to act tough in a situation like this.
“Ho ho, it’s only natural to be nervous when going to a completely new place. But don’t worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to rest properly on the road.”
After Principal Kaili finished speaking, the students who had come to see them off began presenting their farewell gifts.
Most of them were items that would be useful during the journey, such as snacks and daily necessities.
However, Liuli also discovered some unusual items among them, like books, a pillow, and a small box with a note that read: “Open only when you are alone.”
The books could be explained as a way to ward off boredom, but what was the meaning of the pillow?
Was it meant to help her sleep better?
As for that small box, Liuli had to admit it certainly piqued her curiosity.
However, being told to wait until she was alone made her feel like it might not be something very decent.
She hoped that was just her imagination.
The gifts didn’t stay in Liuli’s hands for long; they were quickly handed over to the maid and placed into the accompanying vehicles.
Lately, Liuli’s method of transportation within Saint Laia had always been a carriage.
Switching to an automobile after getting used to carriages gave her a strange sense of cognitive dissonance.
Honestly, whether it was Elves or other races, a campus so full of Western fantasy style should be equipped with carriages.
The sudden arrival of modern vehicles immediately transformed the Western fantasy atmosphere Liuli had grown accustomed to into a more realistic scene.
However, if Liuli really had to take a carriage all the way to the Elf Territory, her backside would probably be the first to protest.
Although the Elf Territory wasn’t that far, the trip wouldn’t be finished in just one or two days.
In such a situation, choosing a carriage — no matter how comfortable — could never compare to the shock absorption provided by the crystallization of modern technology.
For the sake of her own rear end, a car was undoubtedly the better choice.
Still, looking at the rather large motorcade parked in front of her, Liuli felt there was no need for such a grand display.
While a large number of vehicles certainly made for a more powerful presence, this didn’t feel like a formal Diplomatic Visit in the true sense, especially with Principal Kaili accompanying them.
It felt more like a visit between friends.
Wouldn’t such a massive production create a sense of distance?
But that wasn’t something for Liuli to worry about.
After all, she wasn’t the one paying for or planning the operation.
If they wanted a grand display, then so be it.
Liuli rode in an RV along with Serveyia, Fina, and Aili, while Principal Kaili took a separate car.
An RV… Liuli had always felt that such vehicles weren’t very convenient.
Although they fulfilled the dream of being able to live wherever you drove, an RV would never be as comfortable as one’s own room.
There were also many things one had to be mindful of.
She wondered what the RV prepared by Saint Laia would be like.
“Serveyia, did you prepare this vehicle, or did the school?”
Seeing how familiar Serveyia seemed to be with the interior layout the moment they stepped inside, Liuli couldn’t help but ask.
“The school prepared it. I simply familiarized myself with the travel vehicles ahead of time. If the Little Fox likes it, I can prepare one for you.”
“Forget it. I’ve always felt that RVs aren’t very convenient. If I had a choice, I’d still prefer to take a plane to the destination and use the extra time to get some good rest.”
“Experience it first. Perhaps the Little Fox will like it?”
Serveyia didn’t comment much on her preferences and instead encouraged her to try it out.
Well, even if practice was the only criterion for testing the truth, could a luxury RV really be more comfortable than her room in Qingli Hall?
The RV Saint Laia had prepared for her was actually quite different from the ones she usually saw people sharing their lives in online.
At first glance, it appeared much larger and didn’t feel as cramped as she had expected.
Truthfully, if an RV wasn’t cramped, the first impression was much better.
“So, can this RV really accommodate all four of us?”
Actually, it wasn’t just four people; including the driver, there would be at least five people staying there, and that wasn’t even counting the attendants.
Although she had Serveyia as her maid to help handle various chores, what about Fina and Aili?
Didn’t they need help from maids as well?
“It can. After all, we won’t be driving and traveling at the same time. When we stop, we’ll just go camping.”
“If we’re camping, then what is the point of the RV?”
Strictly speaking, the advantage of an RV was the convenience of accommodation.
If they were going to choose camping for their stay, wouldn’t a large off-road vehicle achieve the same effect?
“Little Fox, what exactly is an RV in your mind?”
“Just… a large mobile tent?”
She hadn’t been born into wealth, so she couldn’t be expected to have the same perspective as these noble ladies.
“Then the Little Fox should experience it well and see what a real RV is like.”
“Exactly, exactly! Like right here!”
Not only Serveyia, but even Fina leaned in, pointing to the side where a massive television was actually installed.
Generally speaking, the power for appliances in an RV relied on solar energy, but Liuli felt that Saint Laia’s RV couldn’t be judged by common sense.
Since the TV was here, it could definitely be used.
As for how it worked, she didn’t need to think too much about it; as long as it worked, it was fine.
And it wasn’t just a TV; Liuli even discovered several computers.
‘I suppose I should expect nothing less from Saint Laia. Even their RV is so uniquely designed.’
“Serveyia, can it really support this many appliances?”
“Magic is quite miraculous, isn’t it?”
Liuli didn’t know why Serveyia puffed out her chest with such a sense of pride, but magic truly was a miraculous thing.
“Alright. But if I want to rest, is there a place to sleep in the car?”
Now that the basic matters were handled and she had some downtime, Liuli finally felt the exhaustion from her insomnia last night.
All she wanted right now was to catch up on some sleep.
“Right over there. If the Little Fox wants to sleep, you’ll have to wait a moment. I’ll go make the bed for you.”
After Serveyia pointed in a certain direction, she went ahead to the room.
She even forcibly pressed Liuli down into a chair, leaving her with Fina and Aili.
“Hey, Liuli. I feel like the vibe between you and Serveyia isn’t quite right. Tell me, did something happen between you two?”
The moment Serveyia left, Fina leaned in with an excited expression, nudging Liuli with her elbow in a gossipy manner.
Liuli hadn’t expected Fina to ask that question.
She didn’t know if Fina was actually testing her.
If she answered honestly and Fina had just been making a casual remark, wouldn’t she be perfectly exposing herself?
Although she wanted to brush it off, she saw how interested Fina looked.
Beside them, although Aili wasn’t looking their way, her pointed elven ears were clearly twitching in their direction.
During the moment Liuli hesitated, Fina seemed to have already realized something.
She patted Liuli on the shoulder with an “I understand everything” look on her face.
How could Liuli not realize?
Her hesitation was undoubtedly no different from a confession.
In that case, would it be better if she just told the truth?
However, Liuli still remembered Serveyia telling her that the Princess of Saint Laia was a figure who gathered the affection of the entire school.
If she had a definite partner, wouldn’t that somehow shatter the illusions of many people?
