Chapter 244: Bai Yue's Unfathomable Conjecture
Before Princess Bai Yue took her seat, she kept greeting the three strongest men in the guild with a smile on her face.
The Seventh Prince didn't care about other people's looks and asked Isabella in advance: "...Isabella's magic level has improved very quickly. Did you use any method? Also, your sister has reached the first level of elementary level before she is in the second grade. This shows that your family has a high talent for magic."
"Our environment is a little better," Isabella responded politely, "but in terms of talent, I think I still have to rely on my own diligence. There are too few monsters this winter, otherwise I still have a chance to reach the elementary third level, close to the intermediate level."
The Seventh Prince, who was sitting opposite Isabella, had already improved his strength to the end of the third elementary level. If he continued to double his training during the holidays, he would be the first student in the grade to reach the intermediate magic level when school started.
Isabella was too lazy to race with him due to public concern, but from the confident look in the Seventh Prince's eyes, it seemed as if he was saying that he had surpassed Isabella.
Isabella tactfully flattered him about her business dealings, feeling that whenever Princess Bai Yue got close, she would definitely be scheming.
"Last semester, you did a great job quietly. You tied with me for first place! You are worthy of being the seventh prince..."
At this time, the king asked the band to start playing. People in the banquet hall had arrived one after another, and the third prince and the second prince had also arrived.
When the Third Prince entered the banquet hall, his eyes were fixed on Princess Baiyue, but not with admiration, but as if he was communicating with her through eye contact.
Princess Baiyue's outfit with silver and white velvet decorations was the most beautiful dress in the whole venue. In the banquet hall, only Kokoro and Princess Baiyue were unfamiliar.
When Princess Bai Yue signaled the palace maid to make tea, the Seventh Prince continued to ask, "What grade is Kokoro in?"
When the seventh prince spoke to Kokoro, her face turned red instantly. Isabella pouted and pulled Kokoro's hair angrily.
He muttered, "The Seventh Prince is talking to you! Don't be afraid!"
"… I'm tenth in the grade. I've worked very hard!"
After Kokoro said this, the Seventh Prince praised politely: "I heard that there are many geniuses among the first-year students. It is not easy to get into the top ten."
The palace maid served tea to everyone, and Princess Bai Yue leaned close to the Saint and spoke in a low voice.
"My Lady Saint, long time no see. I heard that the Snow Elf Country has established a church about you. Although the Oberic Empire does not have a church yet, I am also considered your believer, right?"
The body of the Saint inadvertently moved a little closer to Kokoro, but Princess Baiyue also moved her buttocks without any sense of distance, deliberately getting closer to the Saint.
The Saint replied in a dull tone: "How can you become a follower of the Saint? As the fourth princess of the empire, don't you have other important things to do?"
Princess Bai Yue leaned her left hand on the Saint's chair, almost touching her body to talk to her.
"Of course. The biggest problem in the palace recently is the decrease in monsters. This has affected many local chambers of commerce in the empire. The prices of many magic tools and scrolls have risen, and many adventurers have left the commune."
"The third prince, Padukan, has been very popular recently. He has a good reputation in the southeastern part of the empire. Compared with the eldest prince and the second prince, Padukan's ability is more outstanding."
At this time, the Seventh Prince asked Kokoro if he could dance, and asked him to go up and dance twice, so as to at least let Kokoro show his face, otherwise the civil officials present would not accept an unknown little nobleman.
Isabella noticed that the seventh prince was looking at her and nodded to indicate that she agreed to dance with them. This time she brought her sister here not only to see the world, but also to let her get rid of her timidity when in public.
Kokoro didn't dare to refuse and agreed with a blushing face.
The topic between the Saint and Princess Baiyue was very strange. Princess Baiyue actually chatted about the deeds of the Third Prince in front of the Saint, and an incident in which he rescued the King, and killed one of two mid-level sandworms.
The Saint said in astonishment: "...Such serious news, you didn't announce it? Your king lives a good life. In such a dangerous situation, as a king with intermediate third-level magic power, he didn't even release magic to resist at that time."
Princess Bai Yue was secretly distressed. She had originally intended to have the Saint pay attention to the existence of the Third Prince Padukan, but now he was actually concerned about the old king. Then...
"Lady Saint, who do you think is more suitable to be the king of the empire in the future?"
Princess Bai Yue seemed to be asking the question unintentionally, but in fact the answer was in some of the deeds of the Third Prince that she had just mentioned.
Princess Bai Yue would not be surprised if there were other answers. She would like to hear the Saint's opinion. Maybe she could find a way to implement the plan.
The Saint touched her chin and hummed thoughtfully for a long time...
"As the king of the empire, personal charm and ruling ability are very important... Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the crown princes in your court. From the perspective of an emperor, if the seventh prince has experience in all aspects, I think he would be quite suitable!"
Princess Bai Yue's words sounded a bit weary: "Xia An is still too playful. In the future, he will be the most capable magician in Charlemagne's royal family. He won't be able to calm down and take on the responsibilities that a king should have."
Isabella looked at Kokoro and the Seventh Prince dancing together and actually thought that they were a good match. However, she was thinking in her mind, why did Princess Bai Yue change her mind and support the Third Prince Padukan?
What exactly is Princess Bai Yue planning? According to the normal situation of Charlemagne's royal family, the eldest prince's succession is legitimate, while the second prince is not very interesting...
"So the Seventh Prince is not suitable?" The Saint guessed and compared for a long time, then took a sip of tea. "But he is younger, which at least gives the empire more chances to continue. There will be more foreign monsters in the future, and the empire will become more unstable."
Princess Bai Yue smiled knowingly: "Xia An's ability is not enough to even handle the work of the Student Union. It is not appropriate to let him manage the entire empire. Since the Saint Lady spoke for him, I am also very happy. Xia An, with the protection of the Saint Envoy, is quite suitable for fighting."
At the dance venue, young people began to join in one after another.
Although Kokoro's steps were a little shy, the Seventh Prince kept encouraging and praising her with words, and Kokoro's inner nervousness seemed to have disappeared.
In Kokoro's eyes, there was only the Seventh Prince Xia An. For some reason, each of her dance steps was completed inadvertently. The cold sweat on her hands touched the Seventh Prince's warm white gloves, which made Kokoro's heart fall into an indescribable calm, as if there were only two people dancing in the whole banquet hall.
Isabella noticed that Cocoro smiled a very natural and carefree smile that came from the bottom of her heart, without any girlish shyness.
But seeing that the Seventh Prince had an unusually calm expression, Isabella snorted coldly. It turned out that the Seventh Prince was not interested in Kokoro.
At this moment, the seventh prince felt itchy in his heart.
The person in front of me is Isabella's sister...
She seemed like a doll that had been cast with magic. She had a very peaceful temperament and her skin was very white and delicate, but I always felt that she was a little bit inferior. Was she not as good as Isabella? That was true... there was still a big gap between the two sisters.
