“Serveyia, you don’t understand. I’m not just expecting something for nothing. It’s because it’s you that I have expectations, Serveyia.”
The reason she wanted to see Serveyia’s sword dance wasn’t really out of curiosity about the dance itself.
It was more out of curiosity about Serveyia herself. What would her sword dance be like?
“Is that so? I’m really happy to receive such praise from you, Little Fox.”
Serveyia showed a faint smile, then took the sword from Liuli’s hand. After putting some distance between them, she began her performance.
Although she was close with Serveyia, to be honest, just as Serveyia had said, there really was no need to have such high expectations.
What Serveyia displayed was less of a sword dance and more of a sword technique.
There were no flashy, impractical flourishes—only clean, efficient skill.
“Serveyia, is this really a sword dance?”
After watching Serveyia’s performance, Liuli couldn’t help but ask.
After all, these stances looked nothing like a display art and more like daily martial arts practice.
“Of course it is. Although it may not look very elegant, who says a sword dance must be soft and graceful?”
“That may be true, but generally speaking, sword dances are for display, aren’t they?”
Liuli found it strange. Generally, no one would like a sword dance that was too “clean and efficient.”
“That is the case. But I’m not a professional dancer. Why would I learn those flashy, impractical skills?” As she spoke, a smile appeared on Serveyia’s face.
“Although most nobles might have their children learn dance to make them more competitive in the marriage alliance market, I’m different. I have no interest in learning something meaningless and flashy.”
“It’s not really necessary. I just feel there’s no need to name it that…”
If it was similar to sword techniques, then she probably really wouldn’t have wanted to watch Serveyia’s so-called performance.
“What’s wrong? Disappointed?”
“A little…”
Liuli wasn’t lying. After all, what she wanted to see wasn’t this side of Serveyia.
Although Serveyia’s clothing wasn’t overly masculine, she really wanted to see a more… well, a more feminine and charming side of Serveyia.
“That’s why I said, Little Fox, you shouldn’t have such high expectations.”
“So, Serveyia, do you have any skills that look… prettier?”
Since this time hadn’t satisfied her, Liuli decided she still needed to find a way to get what she wanted from Serveyia.
“Little Fox, you want to see?”
“Mhm, I want to see!”
“If you want to see, what will Liuli use to exchange for it?”
“This… we need to exchange?”
“Of course. Little Fox, you don’t think you can get something for nothing, do you?”
Somehow, Liuli felt Serveyia didn’t really want an equal reward from her. What she wanted was probably just an excuse.
“I can, but Serveyia, you have to tell me what your skill is first, right? Didn’t you say you have no interest in learning those flashy, impractical skills?”
This time, Liuli decided to be more cautious. She decided to ask clearly in advance.
She couldn’t let her guard down just because of a name this time.
She had to ask and see what skill Serveyia would use to exchange with her.
“Change of Clothes. That should be fine, right?”
“It’s fine, but Serveyia, how will you change clothes? It can’t be that I get to choose whatever I want you to wear, right?”
“Of course it can. I can show you my wardrobe, and you can choose. How about that?”
Serveyia’s wardrobe? To be honest, Liuli didn’t think she had seen Serveyia wear many other clothes.
She often appeared in a short, modified maid outfit.
Although this modified maid outfit looked sexy at first glance, after seeing it for a long time, one would inevitably get a bit of aesthetic fatigue.
Liuli still wanted some change.
But the problem was, Liuli wasn’t quite sure what kind of clothes would be in Serveyia’s wardrobe.
When it came down to it, the clothes she wanted to see probably wouldn’t be in Serveyia’s wardrobe. Probably.
“Serveyia, if that’s the case, can I choose the clothes I want to see and buy them for you to wear?”
“Looking like this, Little Fox, you seem to have specific clothes you want to see me in?”
“Yes. Is that okay?”
“I have no problem with that. In that case, is the deal settled?”
“Wait, my birthday is coming up soon, right? How about treating this as my birthday gift?”
Somehow, Liuli felt it was better not to agree to this so-called exchange.
Given Serveyia’s level of mischief, Liuli really didn’t dare to trust this “exchange.”
“Little Fox, you really are clever. Fine, treating it as a birthday gift is no problem. But Serveyia, are you really not planning to change the condition? Since it’s your birthday, you can make some more excessive demands.”
“Forget it. This condition is fine.”
Other conditions might work too, but Liuli still felt that things were fine as they were now.
She couldn’t think of any other conditions, so this one was good enough.
“Alright then, Little Fox. Just buy whatever clothes you want to see me in. I’ll wear them.”
After getting Serveyia’s agreement, Liuli felt much more at ease.
The next thing to do was simple: decide exactly what clothes she wanted to see Serveyia wear.
Actually, she had already prepared for this when she brought it up.
That was cosplay. To be honest, nothing was more suitable than cosplay.
But somehow, Liuli didn’t really have a suitable channel for purchasing costumes.
She couldn’t really just shop online, could she?
Not to mention, even if she shopped online, she wouldn’t know which store to go to.
At a time like this, she really needed to find help. And the helper Liuli thought of was Dora.
“Dora, Dora, do you have a channel for custom cosplay outfits? Buying is fine too.”
After leaving Serveyia, Liuli called Dora, trying to get help from her.
“Your Highness, what do you need cosplay outfits for? Are you interested in cosplay?”
“Sort of, but actually, they’re for Serveyia. She agreed to wear them for me on my birthday, so I want to buy some cosplay outfits of characters I like.”
“What?! That Serveyia actually agreed to Your Highness’s request?”
Dora’s tone was clearly very shocked, as if she hadn’t expected this situation.
“Of course I have outfits. But Your Highness, you need to tell me Serveyia’s measurements so I can arrange for custom tailoring.”
