Chapter 42: An Unexpected Meeting in the Library

When Felicia regained consciousness, she realized someone was feeding her.

“Am I in heaven…?” Felicia whispered while eating.

After her vision focused, she saw that it was Anna feeding her.

And what Anna was feeding her was… red date soup.

“?” Felicia looked confused.

“The master just said your period has arrived, and asked me to prepare something to replenish your blood,” Anna explained, apparently noticing Felicia’s confusion.

Oh, so it’s that time of the month.

At first, Felicia didn’t find anything wrong with that explanation, but a few seconds later, she realized the problem.

Wait, do dragons even have periods?!

Her injuries clearly looked like they were caused by electric shock, didn’t they?

But electric shock doesn’t cause bleeding… Wait, could she actually be having her period?

“A dragon with a period… how rare,” Felicia muttered.

“Hmm?” Felicia’s voice was too soft for Anna to hear clearly. “Is there anything you need?”

“Ah… no, no.” Felicia shook her head.

Lying in bed and enjoying Anna’s feeding service wasn’t bad.

For Felicia, meeting anyone in the castle was fine, but meeting Seraphina was always trouble.

Especially after what had just happened.

“Actually, in my opinion, the master does like you,” Anna said again. “If she didn’t like you, she wouldn’t have brought you back and taken care of you in the first place.”

“Is that what you call care?! Who takes care of someone else by taking them to bed on the very first day? And with how she treated me, is that really love?”

Felicia’s tone grew agitated, but her body was still weak, so her voice was very small—almost frail, giving it a peculiar quality.

She noticed she was still wearing those devices. It seemed she would have to wear them for the entire duration of her stay in the castle.

Thinking about it, Felicia’s opinion of Seraphina dropped even further.

“…” Anna felt helpless. She had indeed been given a task by Seraphina to come and persuade Felicia.

But the effect of her persuasion didn’t seem to be good—in fact, it had the opposite effect.

On one hand, Seraphina had saved Anna’s life, which was one reason Anna always worked only for Seraphina.

On the other hand, Anna actually sympathized with Felicia.

This left her unwilling to speak ill of Seraphina, yet also reluctant to continue persuading Felicia to forgive Seraphina.

It was like a single-minded person stuck between two opposing sides.

“I need to rest. Anna, you can leave now,” Felicia suddenly said.

“Alright.” Anna didn’t ask why; she just nodded.

“Oh, by the way, the master asked me to leave a message: she’ll come to see you shortly, and when she comes, she hopes to see you lying here peacefully.”

“I understand,” Felicia replied.

Felicia looked around and, after confirming Anna had truly left, she jumped out of bed, intending to go outside and look for any possible chance of escape.

Lying there peacefully was out of the question. She had a feeling that if she stayed here, Seraphina would eventually play her to death.

As Felicia walked down the corridor, she noticed that the library’s door was open.

“Hmm?” Felicia found it strange. This was the first time she had seen the library door open.

Normally, regardless of whether anyone was inside, the library door was always closed.

So Felicia walked in, thinking that Seraphina might be reading there.

However, when she entered, she didn’t see Seraphina. Instead, she saw another familiar person—Taosu.

Taosu’s appearance hadn’t changed much since she had left, but her size was different—now, Taosu looked just like an ordinary person.

That is, if you ignored the transparent wings on her back.

“Who?” Taosu looked back and saw Felicia entering.

“Hello~ Good afternoon, my dear master,” Taosu greeted Felicia.

“Are you… cleaning?” Felicia noticed the broom in Taosu’s hand.

“Yes,” Taosu nodded. “Lady Seraphina thinks the library has been a bit messy lately. She told me to clean it spotless today, or she’ll deduct my wages.”

“Do fairies need money?”

“…” Taosu looked a bit exasperated. “It’s not money. As I said before, fairies need magic to maintain their existence. So Lady Seraphina provides me with some magic every month—that’s what I call my ‘wages.’”

“And with enough magic, I can become stronger. After all, fairies are incarnations of pure magic. As long as we have enough magic, we can grow infinitely stronger!”

“Sounds amazing,” Felicia said, genuinely impressed.

“Then what about your size…”

“I changed it with magic, of course,” Taosu answered. “Magic can do anything. Changing my size is no problem.”

“True…” Felicia felt her question was rather redundant.

“Master, it looks like your situation isn’t great,” Taosu noticed Felicia’s prison-chic attire. “The lady hasn’t…?”

“It’s nothing, don’t worry about it.” Felicia smiled, not wanting Taosu to worry too much.

“Taosu, I have a question,” Felicia suddenly said.

“What?”

“If one day I end up fighting Seraphina, whose side would you take?”

“Master, that question is like the human dilemma of ‘who would you save first if your girlfriend and mother fall into the water’…” Taosu remarked.

“But she’s just my employer, while you’re my contractor and my master. Of course I would help you.”

“But I find it strange,” Taosu continued. “Lady Seraphina is powerful, beautiful, from a prominent family, and incredibly wealthy.”

“Without exaggeration, the noble sons pursuing Lady Seraphina could line up from the castle gate to the other side of the mountain.”

“Yet someone like that treats you so well. I can’t understand why you want to run away.”

“…” Felicia was silent for a moment. “She’s good to me, that’s true, but is that really love?”

“Huh?” Taosu was puzzled.

It was clear that Felicia’s question had reached the limits of a fairy’s knowledge.

“Well, it seems you don’t understand,” Felicia gave up on sharing with Taosu. “But I don’t love her…”

“Still don’t get it,” Taosu shrugged.

“Then don’t bother understanding. It’s better not to know.”

“Do you need some help?” Felicia changed the subject.

“Yes, yes!” Taosu nodded like a chick pecking rice. “This library is huge. If I have to clean it alone, I’ll probably still be here tomorrow morning!”

“Alright, then let me help you!” Felicia grabbed a broom from the corner of the library and began cleaning together with Taosu.
