“From now on, I’m also part of Group Eighteen, please take care of me~” Emilia gave Mo Li a sweet smile.
“…Huh??” Mo Li was stunned for a while, then let out a dry laugh and weakly said, “If I remember correctly, Your Highness should be in Group Seventeen.”
“Yes, that’s how it was, but now, it’s changed.
I’ve been moved to Group Eighteen.” Emilia’s words were shocking.
She didn’t lower her voice on purpose, so all the nobles heard it.
Not only Mo Li, but even the nobles couldn’t keep their composure, especially those who originally belonged to Group Seventeen.
They felt like they had fallen from heaven to hell.
The gap almost shattered them, leaving them with ashen faces.
“…Who is that man?” The gathered noble youths couldn’t help but wonder, with a hint of hostility towards Mo Li in their words.
You see, Princess Emilia was like the sun of the Papal State, shining brightly.
Almost the entire Papal State, and even other kingdoms, were filled with suitors.
Yet, no one dared to confess because too many people coveted this dazzling gem.
Whoever made the first move would face public scrutiny and dissatisfaction.
This guy really has guts.
The nobles all looked at Mo Li with meaningful glances.
“Isn’t this a bit too reckless?” Mo Li couldn’t help but say.
“Your Highness must be joking.
This is the grouping set by Lanyin Academy.
How can it be changed just like that?”
“Yes, it can’t be changed just like that… But if it’s just a grouping, this princess can easily change it.” After all, the Papal State funds Lanyin Academy a lot every year.
The more you give, the more say you have.
Although you can’t change exam results or competition qualifications, a mere grouping can be managed.
As she spoke, Emilia clapped her hands, and a shadow appeared out of nowhere, kneeling respectfully beside Emilia.
“What are your orders, Miss?”
“Go to Saint Roland City and tell my aunt to ask the admissions department of Lanyin Academy to change my group from Seventeen to Eighteen.”
“Yes.” The man responded and disappeared immediately.
Was that… the Black Phoenix Guard? Mo Li frowned slightly, remembering Roco, who also once belonged to this secret unit that only served the Arelinde family.
After the man’s figure disappeared, the nobles present realized that Her Highness wasn’t joking; she really wanted to change groups! Instantly, the members of Group Seventeen were not happy.
“Your Highness, are you planning to switch to Group Eighteen?”
“Please reconsider, Group Eighteen is the last group.
I heard it only has two members.
If there’s an assessment, how can just two teammates pass?…”
“Promotion exams are not a joke.
Please don’t let a moment of impulse ruin important matters!” The nobles all advised earnestly, afraid that Emilia would leave Group Seventeen.
“It’s okay~ everyone, even if we’re not in the same group, some assessment locations are together.
Can just being in different groups sever our bonds?” Emilia spoke emotionally, as if she was reluctantly giving up these group members, making people feel sorry for her, yet they couldn’t help but believe her.
Her acting was top-notch, worthy of an Oscar.
The nobles present were all shocked by Emilia’s performance, except for Mo Li, who inwardly scoffed at it.
Ha, this wicked woman, acting so convincingly.
If he didn’t know her true nature, he might have believed her.
With so much going on, he should just slip away.
“Mr. Mo Li, where are you going?~” Mo Li, who was planning to sneak away, didn’t expect her gaze to be fixed on him.
“I just remembered I have something to do.”
“Eh? Leaving already? Do you really not want to see this princess?”
“Not at all, Your Highness is of celestial beauty, but unfortunately, I have mortal eyes and can’t appreciate it.” Mo Li’s words almost directly conveyed, ‘I’m not on the same wavelength as you, I’m not interested, please stop bothering me.’
“Mr. Mo Li, you’re really something.
We had such a pleasant night last time, and now you’re avoiding me instead of having another candlelit chat?”
Damn! Don’t say things that can be misunderstood so casually, you’re the princess of the Papal State.
Saying such things publicly will get us both in the news!!
Sure enough, as soon as she said that, the room fell silent, and Mo Li immediately felt all eyes on him, some wishing to tear him apart.
Even Pan Lin beside him started looking at him differently.
“Well, if Your Highness has any troubles, feel free to talk to me, but I’m not a professional psychologist, so if you have worries, it’s better to consult the court physician.” Mo Li quickly explained, seemingly unintentionally clearing up the misunderstanding.
“A psychologist can’t solve this princess’s worries, only you can~~” Emilia stuck out her tongue, showing a predatory expression from an angle others couldn’t see.
“……” Instantly, the atmosphere that had just relaxed tightened again.
“I still remember clearly, Mr. Mo Li, without a word, you burst into my heart~~ That heat pressed against my chest, ah~ it was unforgettable.” Emilia blushed, reminiscing with a face of intoxication.
Please stop saying that! Can you just say such things randomly?! Can’t you see those guys looking at me like they want to tear me apart and feed me to the dogs??
It’s strange, isn’t this princess into women? Why is she saying all this to a man like me? Isn’t it a waste of expression??
So, is it just to mess with me as revenge for last time?
Knowing he couldn’t outtalk Emilia, Mo Li chose to stay silent, to avoid escalating the situation and putting himself at odds with all the noble men, which would cause unnecessary trouble!
Enduring until the banquet ended, Mo Li quickly left, only to be intercepted midway.
“You’re Mr. Mo Li, right?” The leading noble young master said with a fake smile, signaling the nobles beside him to block Mo Li’s path completely.
“When you’re out, you rely on friends.
How about we become friends?” This noble young master clearly had ulterior motives.
