I Became a Cute Little Dragon Princess and Now She’s Obsessed with Me Chapter 91

"Whose maid is that little girl? How could she get into an argument with His Highness Andy..."

"I don’t know whose maid she is... but I do know, that little maid is probably in big trouble."

"Yeah, no matter who she belongs to, being so rude to His Highness Andy and offending someone of higher status—she's definitely going to be punished."

Voices of discussion rose among the surrounding nobles.

There was no doubt that Erika’s current actions had already become a thorn in the eyes of countless onlookers.

What kind of joke was this?

Today was the prince’s birthday, and a mere maid dared to act insolently at the banquet?

In everyone's eyes, no matter who her master was, she would have to pay the price today.

After all, in the Aarlan Empire, almost no one dared offend Prince Cortefort—let alone do so over a mere maid. That was basically unthinkable.

"Heh."

Hearing the chatter around him, Andy chuckled and spread his hands. "Did you hear that, Miss Erika? I don’t even have to lift a finger. Your master, Miss Veronica, will definitely come to punish you."

"Let her punish me then—what the hell does that have to do with you?!"

Biting her lip, Erika stubbornly refused to give in. The only people she truly respected in her heart were her family. As for all those pompous nobles? She had zero intention of bowing and scraping to them.

Worst case, she’d get scolded by Veronica later, maybe lose her wages. So what? She didn’t care about being a maid anymore!

"I think you’re oversimplifying things, Erika."

Seeing that she was still being defiant, Andy chuckled and continued explaining.

"You should understand my identity by now. In this Imperial Capital, who would dare offend the Clappen Family over a maid? Miss Veronica definitely wouldn't.

Right now, I’m very angry. And you even insulted me in public.

Think about it—when your master finds out about this, how do you think she’ll handle it?"

"H-Handle it how?"

Erika froze, instinctively swallowing hard. She wasn’t stupid. Though she hadn’t dealt with many nobles before, she’d at least heard of the rules—maids didn’t exactly have rights...

Seeing the change in her expression, Andy became even more smug. He explained unhurriedly:

"First of all, since you belong to her, she’ll definitely apologize on your behalf, and then punish you publicly to show where she stands.

As for how she’ll punish you...

Let me think...

If it’s mild, maybe she’ll just have you kneel and apologize to me.

If it’s serious, you might be subjected to water torture, dismemberment, branding..."

Water torture... dismemberment... branding...

Hearing these three tortures, Erika’s petite body trembled instinctively.

They wouldn’t go that far... right?

Her face turned a bit pale. Erika felt like Andy was trying to scare her.

But when she saw the way the people around her were looking at her, she started thinking... maybe a noble like him would actually do something that extreme to suck up to higher-ups.

Would Veronica really treat her like that?

Erika was getting scared—she wanted to run…

These power plays between nobles were terrifying. It was probably best not to be a maid at all. She should hurry back to find Gladys. She wasn't going to stick around just to be punished!

"Excuse me... I have a stomachache. I need to use the bathroom."

She grabbed a random, clumsy excuse and tugged at her maid dress, trying to make a run for it.

Snap!

But who knew—Andy had no intention of letting her go. He merely snapped his fingers, and a large group of guards gathered behind him.

"You rude little maid—you insulted me and now you want to run? Your master better come out and handle this, or don’t even think about leaving."

Faced with so many guards, Erika was still confident she could escape. But if she did, she’d probably have to partially transform into her dragon form...

And if these people saw she was from the Dragon Race, things would get even more complicated.

Biting her red lips, Erika was growing more and more disgusted with this guy. Her crimson eyes glared fiercely at Andy, full of defiance.

"Oh~ Erika, don’t glare at me like that. Honestly, I quite like you."

Andy, caught up in his arrogance, approached Erika with a greedy gleam in his eyes. "Actually, there’s a better solution.

You just have to admit in front of everyone that you’re my maid. That way, this whole thing can be smoothed over easily.

You know, Erika, I wouldn’t make things hard for you. After all, I’ve always had feelings for you."

"In your dreams!"

"Hmph. You’re really choosing the hard way over the easy one. You’re still young—you don’t understand how strict noble etiquette can be. When you’re crying later, you’ll understand how much I’m thinking for your sake right now!"

Just as the crowd surrounded the scene—Veronica finally arrived at the scene, following the sound of voices as she pushed her wheelchair over.

Her hearing was sharp. She had heard nearly everything that had happened here just now, loud and clear.

But Veronica didn’t call anything out directly. She merely pretended to inquire:

"Your Highness Andy, what are you doing, gathering so many people around my maid?"

"Oh, Miss Veronica."

Seeing Erika’s master arrive, Andy smiled and immediately stepped forward to explain.

"You came just in time. As you know, today is my father’s birthday. But your little maid here, on such an auspicious day, insulted me in public."

"Is that so?"

"Of course, Miss Veronica. If you don’t believe me, you can ask everyone here.

I feel our Clappen Family has been insulted. I really didn’t expect that a mere little maid would dare speak to me that way."

Seeing Andy’s punchable expression, Erika grew furious and quickly defended herself. "He’s the one who picked a fight with me first!"

"Little Jasmine, come here."

Without bothering to ask for more details, Veronica simply waved at Erika.

Glancing resentfully at Andy, Erika hesitated, but eventually walked obediently to Veronica’s side.

She stood stiffly next to Veronica, her legs together, small hands clasped and resting in front of her stomach—looking very well-behaved.

Except... her lips were pouting, and her expression clearly showed she was unconvinced.

At that moment, Veronica slowly raised her slender finger, her index finger slightly curved.

Then, in front of everyone, she lightly knocked on Erika’s little head.

"Ow!"

It wasn’t a hard knock, but it caught Erika by surprise. She instinctively yelped and quickly held her head with her hands.

"I only asked you to deliver a gift, and you ended up causing all this trouble."

"I didn’t mean to..."

She muttered, full of grievance, "He was the one who bothered me first. I hate him—I’m not going to talk nicely to him."

"But it was your stubbornness that caused the situation to escalate."

"I..."

"Do you know what you did wrong?"

Like hell I do!

Erika wanted to argue back, but when she saw the slight furrow in Veronica’s brow, she instinctively backed down.

"I... I was wrong."

Hearing Erika admit fault, Veronica nodded in satisfaction.

Then she turned toward Andy and spoke:

"Your Highness Andy, I deeply apologize for the behavior of my maid just now. I have reprimanded her in person, and she has admitted her mistake.

If there’s nothing else, we won’t trouble you further. Goodbye."

With that, Veronica softly said to Erika, "Little Jasmine, let’s go."

"O-Okay."

Erika was still a bit stunned, but she quickly recovered and moved to push Veronica’s wheelchair, hurrying away.

"???"

Now Andy was completely dumbfounded.

He suspected there was something wrong with his ears.

What? That was the punishment? Just a light tap on the head?!

And admitting fault? Look at Erika’s face—did that look like someone admitting fault?!
