"Wait a minute and you'll find out."
Seeing that Elina was still a little confused, Margaret winked at her mischievously.
"Welcome the Duke of Windsor to the Sub-Saint Fortress!"
Sure enough, when Elena accompanied Margaret out, she saw the grand and somewhat inappropriate scene in front of them.
Among them, the general of the Sub-Saint Fortress, Cyber, stood in the front with a very warm and natural smile on his face.
To be honest, Elina had only seen Sebor once, and that was from a distance.
At that time, his face was very serious, as if he would never smile, but now, this guy's face was smiling like a flower.
There were many people standing behind Cyber, and the smiles on their faces were just as many as Cyber's.
Some of them were obviously local nobles and wealthy families. What surprised Elina the most was that Plorrik was also standing here. She really didn't know what had happened to him in the past few months.
Of course, because Elina was wearing a mask when she was outside the domain, this old acquaintance did not recognize Elina.
"Well, what I said is right."
Looking at the grand scene before her, Margaret whispered with some pride.
"I never thought that these guys would be so bored in the most dangerous border area."
Elina smiled and shook her head. With her intelligence, she figured out the whole thing after just a little thought.
It turns out that no matter which world it is, politics will always exist.
"Oh, Duke of Windsor, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you for a long time."
Just as Margaret and Elena walked down from the ship, Sebor and his men immediately surrounded them with a very enthusiastic attitude.
"Yes, yes. The dark race is acting strangely now. With the Ice Rose, we are not afraid of anything."
"That's right. As long as the Ice Rose Master is here, we can feel reassured."
The nobles who followed closely behind kept flattering her, but the flattery made Elena frown slightly.
"Wait a minute, I'm talking to you guys..."
Elina was about to say something but was stopped by Margaret.
She just shook her head slightly at Elena and said nothing more. She was used to all this.
"Who is this?"
Elina hadn't finished her words, but they obviously caught Sebor's attention, and he immediately shifted his gaze to Elina.
Chapter 3: Met an acquaintance
"Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce you. This is Instructor Elina, who was sent by the academy and came with me."
After seeing Sebel turn his eyes to Elena, Margaret quickly pushed Elena in front of her and introduced her to Sebel.
"Teacher? Alina?"
Sebor looked at Elena strangely, because he always felt like he had heard this name somewhere, but he just couldn't remember it.
At this moment, Sebor did not notice that Plorik, who was not far behind him, trembled all over when he heard the name, and then looked at the silver-haired girl not far away with some disbelief.
"Why don't I remember there was a teacher named Alina at Dunbaron Public College?"
Sebor looked at Elena with a scrutinizing gaze. As the chief officer of the Sub-Saint Fortress, he was accustomed to this condescending attitude.
Moreover, since this was a mentor he had never even heard of, his strength might be at most Divine level, or even Radiant level. There was no need for him to lower his profile.
"I am a new instructor at the academy. It is normal that the general has not heard of me. After all, I am not as famous as the general."
Elina seemed not to notice Sebor's scrutinizing look, and spoke in a somewhat cold tone.
Although there was a smile on her face, it was without any warmth.
This was originally a compliment, but when this guy said it in this tone, it immediately became sarcastic.
For a moment, all the subordinates brought by Sebor looked at Elena in surprise.
Ok?
Hearing Elina's tone, Sebor frowned uncomfortably.
As the supreme ruler of the Sub-Saint Fortress, he holds the power of life and death over the entire region, and no one has ever dared to speak to him in this tone.
Even those demigod-level adults were gentle when talking to him.
He was nothing like the girl in front of him, whose attitude was stiff and cold, making him feel a little embarrassed in front of so many subordinates.
A small mentor dared to embarrass him.
If it weren't for the academy's consideration, he would have to teach the other side a lesson today.
"Duke of Windsor, General Sebel, the dinner is ready, please see..."
As if they noticed that there seemed to be some discord between Elina and Sebol, Sebol's men immediately rushed over to smooth things over.
"Duke of Windsor, please."
Since someone offered him the stairs, Cyber would naturally not refuse to go down.
He immediately used this reason to invite Margaret to the palace. After some polite exchanges, he walked in front and left with his subordinates in a swagger.
"Alina, why are you provoking him? After all, he is the highest commander of the Sub-Saint Fortress. It will not do any good for us to offend him. Besides, you are not usually like this."
As soon as Sebel left, Margaret immediately approached Elena and whispered.
Elena's performance just now really surprised Margaret.
"Humph, can't you feel it? These guys don't treat you as a human being at all. They just treat you as a tool. And the reason why Cyber arranged such a grand welcome ceremony was just to curry favor with the higher-ups. Besides, he was the one who disrespected me first, so why should I indulge him?"
Elena snorted coldly. She got angry when she heard Margaret talk about this.
These guys didn't give Margaret any respect at all. Although they looked enthusiastic on the surface, every time they called her "Ice Rose", they were just trying to express their welcome to the artifact in Margaret's body.
This behavior really irritated Elena.
"Is this why you're here?"
Margaret was slightly stunned when she heard Elena's answer. This was the first time in all these years that someone other than the dean would stand in this light to defend her.
For a moment, a strange feeling welled up in Margaret's heart.
"Of course. I have already promised the dean at the academy that I will protect you along the way."
After hearing what Margaret said, Elena nodded, then she turned around and suddenly bumped into Margaret's somewhat shy face.
I saw the girl standing in the reflection of the setting sun, her shy look was so beautiful beyond words.
Seeing this, Elina quickly turned her head back and said hesitantly:
"Well, they've all gone far away, so let's not stand there in a daze. After all, this is a free meal, it would be a waste if we don't eat it."
After saying that, he walked forward on his own.
To be honest, Elena is now a little afraid to look back. There was already a lot of confusion between her and Margaret, and now it has become even more confusing.
"Alina..."
Just as Elena was moving forward, Margaret suddenly called her.
"what's up?"
Elina turned her head.
"Nothing, I just wanted to call you..."
Facing Elina who turned her head, Margaret suddenly didn't know what to say. She just stood there and gave her the sweetest smile under the sunset.
······
The students of Class D were taken away by Brady as soon as they got off the ship.
After all, as students, they are not qualified to be guests of honor at Cyber, so Alina asked Brady, a pure local, to take the students to arrange accommodation and other issues.
No matter what, Brady's family is the top family in the entire Sub-Saint Fortress area. Returning to the Sub-Saint Fortress is like home for this guy.
As the host, Brady took the initiative to cover all the food and drink expenses. Anyway, he could ask the college to reimburse him in the end.
That night, Sebel warmly entertained the guests from Dunbaron Public College in the palace of the Sub-Saint Fortress.
The entire palace was brightly lit and was surrounded by teams of soldiers who protected it, and no unauthorized persons were allowed to enter or leave.
"Let us extend a warm welcome to the Duke of Windsor and Teacher Elena from Dunbaron College!"
As guests of honor of the banquet, Elena and Margaret entered through the main door together. As soon as they passed through the main door, warm applause was heard all around them.
At this moment, in the brilliant golden hall gathered a large number of important figures whom ordinary people could not even see on weekdays.
Various long dining tables were filled with delicacies and fine wines. Maids and servants shuttled back and forth in the palace. These people were always able to cleverly avoid various obstacles and replenish the missing food on the tables one by one without having the slightest impression of the diners.
“It’s quite luxurious.”
Elena shrugged her shoulders and followed Margaret inside.
Next, as the protagonist of this event, Margaret was invited to the stage to give some speeches with Sebel.
This time, Sebel did not invite Elena. She was happy to have some free time, so she just ate something and wandered around. To be honest, if Lamia wasn't sleeping like a pig, she really wanted to let Lamia out for a big meal.
"Hmm? Plorik is here too. I might as well ask about the latest news in Yas Village."
Elena, who was wandering around, soon saw an acquaintance. This guy was hiding in a corner, eating his meal. He seemed to be avoiding something.
Chapter 4 I'm sorry, Lady Elina!
"Does the food here smell good? Lord Plorik."
Just when Plorlik was enjoying his meal, Elina suddenly came up and patted him on the shoulder.
This slap almost scared Plorik to death. He choked on the cake that was originally in his mouth. If Elena hadn't slapped the cake out for him, he would have probably lost half his life.
"Ahem, who is it?"
After being treated like this, Plorik's tone was very bad. He was now in the Sub-Saint Fortress area, and was a well-known big shot. He was eating well, but he was suddenly treated like this, so naturally he was very unhappy.
But when he turned around and saw the silver-haired, smiling girl, Plorik's face immediately fell.
The reason why he hid in the corner and did not take advantage of such a good opportunity to connect with other nobles was to avoid this ancestor.
If it weren't for Sebor's requirement that everyone must attend the banquet, he would have even prepared to run away as soon as the banquet started.
But he didn't expect that no matter how he dodged, he would eventually bump into her.
This is too tragic.
"Why, Plorlik, don't you recognize me?"
Plorik's expression quickly became restrained, so much so that Elena didn't notice his abnormality and continued to look at him with a smile on her face.
"Who is your Excellency?"
Plorik pretended to be very confused and looked at Elina.
If it were normal, if such a beautiful girl approached him, Plorlik would definitely be very happy to have a good chat with her.
But ever since he knew that the silver-haired girl was Elina, he lost interest.
"Oh, by the way, when I was outside the domain, I always wore a mask to meet you, so you naturally didn't know who I was."
Of course, Elina had no idea what the man in front of her was thinking. She slapped her forehead, took out the silver mask from her pocket and put it on. She also tied her long hair into a high ponytail. I guess this way, Plorrik should know who she is.
"I was the one who did business with you, Elina, through Yas Village outside the domain. The amount of that business was not small. You shouldn't have forgotten it so quickly."
After saying this, Elina took off her mask, waiting for the other person's expression to change from confusion to surprise.
When I was outside the territory, I did a considerable business with this guy. He must remember me, so it would be natural for me to ask about the latest situation of Yas Village at that time.
"Ah? Elena? I have never seen a lady named Elena, miss, did you find the wrong person?"
But to Elena's surprise, this Plorrik not only did not look surprised at all, but also looked confused, and kept denying the fact that he knew Elena.
Plorik's expression was so genuine that if Elina didn't remember this guy's appearance clearly, she would even doubt whether she had found the wrong person.
"Plorik, are you kidding me? Even if I don't remember it, you should remember Yas Village."
Elina frowned slightly, she began to feel that things were not that simple.
