Chapter 89 89. Welcome Banquet

With the comfort of the three men, Su Yaoyao slowly crawled out from under the quilt and, with their help, hurriedly tidied herself up.

When she stepped out of the flying ship and saw the magnificent imperial palace in front of her, she couldn't help but be shocked by the scene.

The tall city walls and exquisite carvings, every detail demonstrates the strength and majesty of this country.

At this moment, a burst of orderly and powerful footsteps was heard, and two rows of royal guards in golden armor were lined up in an orderly manner, with spears in their hands flashing coldly.

Surrounded by guards, a dignified man strode forward.

With long silver hair, a crown on his head, and a gorgeous robe embroidered with golden royal emblems, it undoubtedly demonstrates his supreme status.

Su Yaoyao looked at Augustine nervously, her eyes full of uneasiness and restraint, especially after learning that he was the Emperor's Majesty.

Augustine's gaze seemed to be attracted by a magnet, and he never left Su Yaoyao since the moment she appeared.

The little female was not surprised at all when she saw him. It seemed that she already knew his identity.

"You're finally back." Augustine's voice was low and magnetic, echoing on the empty tarmac.

Bai Leon, along with Su Yaoyao and the others, quickly stepped forward and knelt on one knee: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Su Yaoyao also hurriedly knelt down and saluted, her heart beating like a deer. She had never thought that she would face the supreme ruler of the empire at such a close distance.

"Everyone get up." A faint smile appeared on Augustine's face.

He walked in front of Su Yaoyao with steady steps, stretched out his hand, and helped her up personally. His movements were gentle but graceful. "Thank you for your hard work along the way."

Su Yaoyao took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She raised her head slightly and said with courage, "It's not hard, Your Majesty."

At this moment, Roland suddenly fell to his knees with a thud, his voice filled with guilt and self-blame: "Your Majesty, please punish me for failing to complete the mission of conquering Snake Scale City."

Augustine turned his gaze towards Roland, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, a mixture of majesty and tolerance.
"I am truly happy to see Yaoyao today. You have assisted Admiral Bai Leon in escorting Yaoyao back, and your merits and demerits offset each other, so the punishment will be waived."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Roland then dared to stand up slowly. His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Yaoyao's heart tightened when she saw this, and she quickly said, "Your Majesty, I have something I want to talk to you about."

The helpless eyes of the orcs in Snake Scale City emerged in her mind, and her heart was filled with anxiety and worry.

"Let's talk about it later. I've prepared a welcoming banquet for you." Augustine seemed not to notice Su Yaoyao's anxious expression. He just smiled, gently took her hand, and walked towards the main hall.

Su Yaoyao was extremely anxious, but facing this noble and majestic emperor, she didn't dare to say anything.

She was led by Augustine, following him in a somewhat flustered manner, her eyes full of worry and uneasiness, and she looked back at Bai Leon and others from time to time.

Her beastly husbands all looked at her with concern, and Bai Leon silently comforted her with his mouth: Yaoyao, don't be afraid, we are all here.

When Su Yaoyao saw their expressions, a warm feeling surged in her heart. She nodded gently, her steps gradually became steady, and her eyes became more determined.
Arriving at the banquet hall, the huge crystal chandelier cast brilliant light, illuminating the long table filled with delicious food.

The royal nobles had already taken their seats. When they saw Augustine and Su Yaoyao come in, they all stood up and saluted, and a round of greetings rang out.

Augustine took Su Yaoyao to the main seat and motioned everyone to sit down.

Augustine held her hand tightly and refused to let go. Su Yaoyao sat in the main seat with His Majesty the Empire in fear.

"This... Your Majesty, this isn't appropriate, is it?" Augustine smiled, leaned slightly, and whispered in her ear, "I just want to be closer to Yaoyao."

This made Su Yaoyao blush, but she didn't dare to resist.

Bai Leon, Rig and Pani sat on the side seats near the main seat. Seeing His Majesty and Yaoyao getting so close, they all frowned in jealousy and felt secretly unhappy.

The banquet began and the waiters moved around, pouring wine and serving food to everyone.

The nobles raised their glasses to express their respect to Augustine. At the same time, they also cast curious glances at Su Yaoyao, whispering to each other and discussing this mysterious woman who suddenly appeared in the royal family.

Su Yaoyao forced a smile and mechanically responded to the greetings from the people around her.

But she noticed that there was a hint of disdain and hostility in the eyes of a countess, but she had no time to care about it at the moment.

Finally, she couldn't help but speak again: "Your Majesty, the matter of Snake Scale City..."

Augustine raised his hand to interrupt her and said with a smile: "Yaoyao, enjoy the food first. It's not too late to talk about these things after the banquet.

This emperor has specially prepared cooked food from ancient Earth for you. Please try it." His tone was gentle, but it carried unquestionable majesty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After hearing this, Su Yaoyao had no choice but to give up and silently lowered her head to eat.

At this time, the Countess, dressed in gorgeous attire, spoke up, "Your Majesty, this Miss Su looks young. I wonder what makes her so special that Your Majesty values ​​her so highly? Could she be an S-rank female?"

She deliberately emphasized the word "S-level", her tone full of undisguised provocation and questioning.

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally bustling banquet hall was like a stone thrown into it, causing ripples.

The nobles around were whispering to each other.

A portly baron wearing gold-rimmed glasses raised his voice in surprise and said:

"S-rank? That's something you only see once in a thousand years! If this little girl is real, it's incredible!"

His words attracted more echoes, and everyone's eyes were like spotlights, shooting towards Su Yaoyao with curiosity and inquiry.

Doris raised the corners of her mouth and a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.

She was of course well aware of how low the probability of an S-class female being born was, and the Star Network database hadn't updated with an S-class female for nearly a thousand years.

She brought up this topic deliberately just to embarrass Su Yaoyao in front of everyone and make her look ridiculous.

Before Augustine could answer, Riger suddenly stood up and looked at the Countess with cold eyes:
"How can you guess the level of my wife?"

Although Rig's voice was not loud, it carried a strong deterrent force. The entire banquet hall suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was shocked by his sudden anger and dared not breathe.

At this time, Bai Leon also stood up. He stood straight, his expression stern, and his voice was low but full of oppression:

"Count Doris, watch your mouth. If you continue to make malicious assumptions about my mistress, you will pay the price."
