"Everything has gone according to the schedule. There’s only the banquet left." Bella said while looking at Evelyn through the silver mirror. "This should be enough, Evelyn. It’s ti for to make your hair pretty now."
Evelyn nodded and carefully slid the last hair clip on the side hair to make it neat and graceful.
She checked it once more in the silver mirror before changing places with Bella.
"Hehehe. I’m going to make you the prettiest, as always." Bella smirked. "Let’s make those people entranced by your appearance."
"Are you trying to add more suitors to the line?" Evelyn sighed.
"Hehe. Still, the banquet this ti is pretty mild, isn’t it? Your talent surpasses everyone, allowing you to have the chance to beco the strongest summoner. Explore more at .Côm
"That’s why even if the royal family wants you to marry a prince, they have to think twice. If they’re not careful, you might harbor the grudge and hide it until you have beco the strongest before taking revenge, resulting in them getting destroyed.
"On the other hand, they want you as well. If your talent blooms to its full potential, you will beco the face of the kingdom.
"These allow you to be a bit more selfish, giving a condition that anyone who wants you has to first beat you.
"Because we’re in the academy, the stronger guys won’t be there. Even if they’re there, they will be much older, which is not suitable for a marriage partner.
"As a result, you can control your own life for the ti being." Bella smiled. "I wonder if I can do the sa. The reason they haven’t forced yet is because I’m always around you."
Evelyn opened her mouth, but before she could reply, the door was opened.
"Senior Evelyn. How are you doing? We’ve co to—" Vivian and lissa abruptly entered the room, only to be stunned by her beauty. "—pick you up…."
Bella glanced at them. "Give us two more minutes, girls. I’m about to finish."
"If I’m not a woman, I will definitely pursue her as well." lissa blinked her eyes a few tis. "No wonder why Senior Evelyn never wears any makeup. If she did on a daily basis, I couldn’t imagine what would happen."
Vivian squinted her eyes. "I wonder if I should research so plants for light makeup. A natural one."
"You two." Evelyn smiled gently. "You two are beautiful as well. Comparison is the worst way to live. Besides, sotis… Beauty can ruin your own life. So, there’s no need to feel jealous."
The two weren’t convinced. In the end, when they entered the banquet hall, all people’s eyes were fixed on her.
Whether they were from Duxia Academy, Lexia Academy, or other academies, they simply couldn’t shift their gaze away.
"What is this? I’m in love."
"Not just you. Everyone is. It’s no wonder why she is known as soone who can conquer a kingdom with her beauty alone. Then, there’s that talent."
"I know, right? Although she is a bit cold outside, I’ve heard she is warm inside."
"Isn’t she perfect?"
lissa sneaked around and hugged Jay’s arm from the side. "Hehehe. I’ve brought them. As expected, she has beco the center of attention."
Jay smiled. "Yeah. That’s the Evelyn we know."
"So you like her as well?"
"She is definitely the prettiest woman I have seen. However, I prefer soone who is smarter than , like you. What do they say about this again… Inner beauty?"
"That’s for heart." lissa chuckled.
Jay chuckled. "Anyway, thanks for bringing them here. Are you tired? Let grab so food and drink for you."
"It’s fine. I’m not hungry. How about we dance instead?"
"Sure. We can do that. It’s supposed to be scheduled one hour from now. Should we go around and greet so people?"
"You should do that. I’m going to Senior Bella."
"Really?" Jay looked sad. "So, that ans I can’t flaunt my woman in front of them?"
"…" lissa blinked her eyes a few tis. She was considerate to not sar his reputation.
Jay was a brilliant guy from a duke’s household. It wouldn’t be weird for him to succeed his father’s position.
So, it was hard for them to justify his choice. After all, lissa was just a commoner.
By showing that she was his woman here would give Jay enough proof and justification to marry her as a main wife instead of a mistress. That was why this ant a lot to lissa.
Her expression lted as Jay once again whispered, "So, are you going to?"
"I will." lissa had a big smile on her face.
On the other side, Vivian was just staring at lissa in silence as Bella approached her. "Are you jealous of their relationship?"
Vivian shifted her gaze to Bella before shaking her head. "Not really. I don’t really care about it. I just want to get achievents to rebuild my family. What about you, Senior? Aren’t you going to stay by Senior Evelyn’s side?"
"Evelyn? Not really. It’s just too exhausting to stay near her at a banquet. People tend to flock around her, and it’s not like I’m a man, so she can’t use as an excuse to get away.
"So, I will just let her suffer whenever there’s a banquet and comfort her later."
"What a special relationship you have there…" Vivian chuckled.
"Well, you help ’friends.’ However, best friends can help each other but also can fight each other while still knowing they will still be best friends after that." She shrugged. "Still, why not go around and search for potential investors? You have to do it yourself, unlike lissa.
"She has Jay from a duke household. If I’m not wrong, his mother is the third princess of the Azilia Kingdom, right? She basically can get the funds from both his house and the royal family."
Vivian nodded. "Yeah. I should probably find so investors. Wish luck."
"You don’t need it. I know you’re capable enough to get an investor or two."
"No, not that. Just wish luck that I don’t have to deal with perverted investors."
"Ah." Bella chuckled. "Yep. Good luck."
When Vivian was about to walk away, all of them suddenly felt a surge of ena coming from the outside.
And that was when an explosion occurred, blasting the giant doors.
Boom!
