I'm a little bit cute after transforming.

Chapter 175 Entering the Palace

Diana slightly raised her chin, the look of disdain on her face fading slightly, replaced by a hint of arrogance.

"Hmph~ That's right! I am the legendary Diana!"

Rhine's eyes shone with admiration, as if he were seeing his idol.

"Senior sister! So you're Diana! You're my idol! There are so many legends about you! How did you become so strong?"

Diana raised her chin slightly, secretly pleased with herself, but said it casually.

"Actually, it's nothing! All it takes is a little talent, plus relentless effort, to reach my level!"

Rhine's eyes were full of admiration, and his tone was sincere and enthusiastic.

"Senior sister, you must have put in unimaginable effort to achieve such remarkable success! Your perseverance and dedication are truly admirable."

Diana felt a little guilty under Rhine's intense gaze, and subconsciously touched her nose, her tone becoming indistinct.

"It's...it's alright. I just worked a little harder than others."

Adolf couldn't help but roll his eyes and mutter under his breath.

Can you say that with your hand on your heart?

Just then, the carriage slowly approached the palace gates, where a group of silver-armored knights blocked its path. The lead knight coldly shouted:

"Get out of the car for inspection!"

Adolf frowned, lifted the carriage curtain, and spoke with obvious displeasure.

Do I also need to be checked?

The knight glanced at Adolf expressionlessly, his tone indifferent.

"I'm sorry, that's the rule."

Adolf's face darkened, and his voice carried a hint of authority.

"I have unrestricted access within the palace! Don't you know about the privileges His Majesty has granted me?"

The knight chuckled lightly, his tone tinged with disdain.

“That was before. Now everyone entering the palace has to be checked, and you are no exception, Your Excellency.”

Adolf frowned, vaguely sensing that something was amiss.

He glanced back at the other people in the carriage and said in a low voice:

"In that case, let's get out of the car and undergo inspection."

Diana pouted, her face full of dissatisfaction:

"You have absolutely no sincerity! It's clearly His Majesty who wants to see me!"

Adolf sighed helplessly and stepped forward to gently tap her head.

"Have you forgotten my instructions? Keep your mouth shut after you enter the palace!"

Diana muttered:

"This is the palace gate! We haven't even entered the palace yet!"

Adolf held his forehead, feeling utterly exhausted.

"In short, let's begin implementation now!"

After the men got off the carriage, the knights searched it thoroughly, inside and out, which took quite some time.

Finally, the inspection was over, and the group got back into the carriage.

Candice grumbled as she sorted through the rummaged-through packages.

"Adolf, when did you become so undignified that you have to be searched like this just to enter the palace!"

Adolf glanced at the knights following outside the carriage, his brow furrowed.

"I'm puzzled too. Let's go to Old Man Yi's place first and find out what's going on."

The carriage slowly drove into the palace, but the atmosphere inside was much more somber than before.

??

Inside a magnificent room in the palace, a handsome man was lounging on a sofa, attended to by two hot maids on either side of him.

There was a slight knock on the door.

"Your Highness, the Knights have something to ask of you."

The eldest prince slowly opened his eyes, and a lazy voice rang out.

"Let him in."

A respectful voice responded from outside the door.

"Okay, Your Highness."

Without being told, the two maids beside her stood up on their own, straightened their disheveled clothes, and stood behind the sofa.

A moment later, a knight entered and knelt on one knee.

"Your Highness, Adolf and the others have entered the palace! They are currently on their way to the Sword Saint's residence."

"Summon them to me."

After the knight received his instructions and left, the eldest prince stood up, and a maid came forward to help him change into formal clothes.

"I hope you won't let me down, Adolf!"
