Chapter 47: The Meeting
Greetings, Lady Sylvania.
Although it was early morning, the room was deliberately dark, with the curtains drawn tightly to block out the sunlight streaming in.
Occasionally, sunlight would reflect through the room, but it was blocked by Loki standing there. In this dimly lit room, there were at least seven or eight richly dressed nobles.
Leading the group was a middle-aged man dressed in a magnificent gold and blue robe, with the emblem of the Kingdom of Lanoa tattooed on his chest.
"Good morning, Lady Grammer." Sidlin nodded somewhat coldly to her.
These people were delegations from the three northern magical kingdoms attending the banquet. Not only were there people from the Kingdom of Lanoa, but behind the middle-aged man named Grammer were representatives from the Duchy of Basheland and the Duchy of Neris.
At this moment, representatives from the three countries all came to visit her early in the morning... Sidlin had already guessed their intentions.
These people must have something they want to discuss with the king, right?
Edward also knew that he had a good relationship with the king.
This guy... he's really asking for trouble.
"What's wrong...? Just tell me quickly?" Cidelina asked slowly, rubbing her tired eyes.
"That's how it is." Grammer didn't show any dissatisfaction. He nodded slightly and then took out a piece of paper and handed it to Cinderella. It was covered with all sorts of things written on it.
"These are the contracts that His Majesty King Edward II hopes to reach with the Kingdom of Asura... many of them are related to the Lanoa Magic University."
"His Majesty the King wishes you to secretly deliver these items to the King of the Kingdom of Asura."
He had barely finished speaking when the envoys from the other two countries standing behind him also handed him a parchment.
It's obvious they had planned this together.
What a hassle... Sidlin didn't even want to look at the contents. She didn't understand why people's minds were always so complicated... Why not just talk to each other face to face?
Instead, he asked her to pass on something... Sidlin probably understood the reason, probably because she had a good relationship with the king... There must be a lot of things on these papers that were difficult to negotiate, and he hoped to use her relationship to discuss them.
Oh……
Sidley had decided to hand the papers to the king and then leave.
However, on the surface, she maintained a calm expression.
"I understand," she said, putting the things into her bosom.
Seeing her actions, the envoys from the three kingdoms couldn't help but smile.
Then Grammer, who was in the lead, continued with pleasantries: "It must have been quite difficult getting here from the university, I heard you only arrived last night."
"It's alright," Cinderella said casually, though she had indeed encountered difficulties.
For example, that guy named Alster...
"So, would you like to travel with us on the return journey?" Grammer said with a slight smile, "With swordsmen protecting you, you'll surely be able to rest better, won't you?"
Swordsman?
Hearing this word, Cinderella was a little surprised... She raised her head slightly to look at the group of people in the room, and then raised an eyebrow.
"King Edward actually sent a sword king?" Her gaze stopped on the person standing in the far corner of the room. He was a short man, and if you didn't look closely, you probably wouldn't notice him.
But this unassuming fellow is actually a sword king.
And it should be the Sword King of the Northern Divine School...
"You jest, Lady Sylvania," the envoy from the Duchy of Basheland said with a smile. "King Thorston of the North is not a guard sent by King Edward."
"Instead, they are specially employed by our Duchy of Basheland." There was a hint of pride in his words, as if he wanted to take the opportunity to show off the strength of the Duchy of Basheland.
Oh……
boring.
Sidlin shook her head slightly and said, "There's no need for that."
"My student and I are safe enough."
Her words made Grammer shrug: "The two ladies will likely encounter many..."
"Won't."
Catherine coldly interrupted the middle-aged man; she had never been very patient with human males who couldn't drink blood.
"Very well, Lady Sylvania." The envoys exchanged glances, then nodded respectfully and left.
Only after they closed the door did Loki, who had been standing behind Cinderella, finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's finally over..." Loki was woken up early in the morning and told that she had to meet with several envoys, which made her feel a little rushed.
Not long after she changed her clothes, the messengers hurried in and then left after a rather long and tedious conversation.
"If you choose to work in a place like this... you'll see this kind of scene all the time," Catherine said, shrugging.
"Does the teacher really enjoy this kind of work?" Luo Qixi asked casually.
"How did you figure that out?" Catherine shook her head with a cold smile, then took out the papers and shook them.
"They might smile and bow respectfully on the surface, but as soon as they leave, they'll call me a freak or something."
"Really...really?" Luo Qixi covered her mouth in surprise.
"Of course it's true," Cidel said, looking at the papers as she did so. "But they don't dare start talking about it at the door now."
"Because I killed a guy who talked like that last time."
"Ah..." Luo Qixi couldn't help but purse her lips.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that teachers are indeed not easy to be liked. After all, it seems that many professors didn't like teachers when they were in school...
Is it because the teacher is always speaking impolitely?
Or is it because the teacher is too indifferent?
Luo Qixi actually found the teacher's straightforward communication style quite pleasing... well, not exactly pleasing, but rather quite comfortable.
It allows me to avoid having to speculate about anything most of the time.
"Luo Qixi".
"Hmm?" Luo Qixi, who had been called, came back to her senses.
"Get ready," Cidelina said, glancing up at her slightly. "The banquet is about to begin..."
"Today's banquet will last until evening."
"Okay...okay, teacher." Luo Qixi muttered unconsciously, "But it seems like there's nothing to pack...after all, I didn't bring any clothes or anything..."
"Who told you to prepare those things?" Cidelina frowned slightly upon hearing this. "What you need to prepare for is battle."
"Huh?!" Loki looked at Cinderella in surprise and said, "But isn't this... the royal palace?"
Sidlin rubbed her eyes upon hearing this: "Because I heard that there was an assassin on Princess Ariel's name day not long ago."
"Isn't it normal to have it today?"
Is this really normal?
Luo Qixi pursed her lips, unsure of what to say, and could only grip her staff tightly.
