The meeting place suddenly became noisy. Some people smiled, while other small groups remained silent.
Those people all looked gloomy, and they covered their mouths with their hands and whispered to each other:
"Has the prince not arrived yet?"
"It may take some time..."
"I hope it will be quick..."
However, it has nothing to do with the sudden change on the field.
The three little girls who were quite out of place in the corner... rarely attracted anyone's attention.
The girl sitting on the side with her body lowered had her head completely buried in the table, only turning her head occasionally. The way she rubbed her hands showed that she was quite flustered.
The little girl with animal ears over there propped her head up with one arm, yawning lazily. Occasionally she glanced at the black-haired girl on the side.
The little black-haired girl just took the cake and stuffed it into her mouth.
He kept making satisfied sounds:
"Well……"
"Don't eat too much."
"Well, um... is it really okay..."
Sharp asked quietly, but still didn't dare to look up.
Coco replied lazily:
"Maybe not."
"Won't that be serious?"
"It's okay." Coco yawned, "You'll get used to it."
After saying that, the little orc grabbed a piece of grilled steak from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth with his hands covered in oil.
She nodded in satisfaction, picked up a sausage...thought for a moment, and stuffed it into the mouth of the black-haired little girl next to her.
Lily took it quite naturally, without even having time to say thank you.
Coco watched Lily stuff the sausage into her mouth and nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, the lights in the auditorium dimmed.
The conversations around them quieted down.
Only the lights on the stage were shining.
"Good evening, everyone."
The person who walked onto the stage in a formal suit was none other than Shalom himself.
"As one of the organizers of this banquet... I am very happy that you have come to attend this gathering. I believe you have heard just now... the second princess of Xiland, Her Highness Electra Christine, has also condescended to come to our venue. Next, please invite Her Highness Electra to come on stage and give a speech."
applause.
Electra held the hem of her skirt with her hand, smiling, and took over Shalom's stage position.
"Good evening, classmates. It has been four years since I graduated from the Military University. Back then, I was just like you, chatting about the past and present with like-minded friends here, full of curiosity about the world. Seeing this scene now, I can say that I miss it very much. ..."
Every eye in the audience, whether unhappy or happy, was staring intently at Electra on the stage.
Lily, who was chewing cake with her head down, was thrown aside. Even Sharp raised his head excitedly and pulled Coco's clothes:
"Look, Coco! It's the princess! It's the Second Princess!"
"Oh."
"Your Highness, Princess!"
Coco continued to yawn.
"But in the blink of an eye, times have changed." Electra changed his words and looked seriously at the students in the audience:
"Technology is advancing, magic is expanding, and life is changing... All of you here are people who have survived the trend of the times. I have also heard about the hardships some of you have experienced recently. The decline of status, the reduction of wealth, the chaos of territory... These experiences may make you dissatisfied, but they are also opportunities. The times are changing, and everyone should wake up from the glory of the past that exists in name only, and carefully observe and face the steel behemoths that are about to sweep across the continent. If you muddle through, you will eventually eat up all the resources. Whether to stick to your old ways or become a member of the behemoth and gain a new place - it all depends on you to make the right judgment...."
After a long moment, Electra bowed slightly.
Amidst warm applause, Electra walked down the stage.
But the other half just clapped their hands slightly and let it go.
The two sides of the auditorium form a sharp contrast.
The lights gradually came on, and people gradually returned to their own small circles of conversation, and the lobby became noisy again.
And the second princess disappeared from sight.
Sharp on the other side obviously hadn't recovered yet, and kept muttering in a daze, "That's the princess, right? That's the princess—"
Only Coco and Lily acted as if nothing had happened.
Coco looked at Lily again.
"Why did this person come in again..."
Lily is a creature made of curiosity.
Coco realized this again.
Maybe Lily came in for another reason.
But Coco didn't care about that.
"Some ladies."
A male voice suddenly came from Lily's side.
Coco raised her head and saw two senior boys slowly walking up to them.
"Gentlemen, I don't think I've seen you before."
"Are you new here?" they asked.
Coco saw that Lily had no intention of replying, and Sharp lowered his head again in panic. He could only bite the bullet and answer:
"We are in the preparatory course. We just entered this year—"
Of course, I didn't forget to grit my teeth in my heart.
The boys looked at each other.
"Then, may I ask, ladies, which lord's offspring are you?"
They stared at Coco silently, and it was obvious that they were suspicious.
Coco's face darkened.
It's really troublesome——
I don't know if I can get away with just making up a name.
"we are--"
"You guys?! Why are you here?"
Another childish male voice suddenly came from behind.
Coco looked carefully and found that those people were Coco and Sharp's classmates in the preparatory class.
"You bunch of civilians... How dare you sneak in here?!"
The sound became louder and louder, and the eyes around began to turn around one after another.
"This is not a place where you can come in..." The leading boy pointed at several people and shouted with a distorted face:
"Someone come quickly, drive them out!"
124. Battle of Invitations
The sound made by the boy attracted the attention of most people here.
"what happened?"
The leading boy asked this question, and the boy quickly answered:
"These three girls are all from our class. They are all civilians, and there is no way they could have received an invitation! They sneaked in!"
The noble students around were whispering.
And when they looked at the three people, there was unconscious disgust in their eyes.
"So..." The senior boy slightly moved away from the boy who was shouting in front and asked a few people:
"So, can you please tell me your names?"
The surrounding noises quieted down, and eyes with various emotions were fixed on the few people.
Coco lowered her head in disgust and clenched her fists:
"... Just you guys."
"...?"
“Nobles, so great?” Coco continued to lower her head, her lips slightly parted: “Just a bunch of people who think highly of themselves—”
"What did you say--?!"
"She said we are ants?!"
“Haha, that’s ridiculous!”
"I was wondering who was so rude...it turned out to be you guys?"
Eller appeared from a distance.
Although the other party was the son of the Duke, he also came to attend this noble banquet.
Although he was still young, the students around him couldn't help but give way to Eller.
"If you don't have an invitation, please get out of here first—" Eller shouted over there:
