"I was so ignorant to think it had such a prestigious background."
Lu Yulan, who was listening nearby, also had the same feeling. So she was a candidate for the next empress. No wonder she was not afraid of these candidates rejecting her.
After all, most of those selected in the second round are commoners. Nobles have their own training methods and resources are easier for them to obtain than for commoners. Even though the First Military Academy has no entry requirements, most of those who get in are still nobles or military families.
Her current behavior suggests that she is trying to cultivate a group of her own confidants before entering the military academy, and today is probably the time to show all the candidates her wealth and power.
Just as she was thinking this, a high platform suddenly appeared in the middle of the sea of heads. A woman dressed in an elaborate and gorgeous aristocratic court-style lace floor-length dress appeared in the middle. She was slender and wore a wide hat that almost covered her entire shoulders. Her face was covered with a thin layer of black veil, revealing only a pair of light brown eyes. Her slightly double-lidded eyes looked straight ahead, looking down on everything.
The moment she appeared, everyone fell silent. To be honest, the more one talks about the empire's military elite, the fewer female figures there are. Even if one only vaguely sees her, she is a beauty in the making. In addition, given her family background, she naturally has the capital to shut everyone up.
"My name is Ekaterina Angelina Julie."
After speaking, he glanced at the deacon standing beside him and nodded slightly.
Sure enough, the butler stepped forward knowingly, "My young lady knows you've all had a long journey, so she specially prepared New Year's gift boxes from the renowned Miracle Company for everyone, and then..."
Lu Yuanhong, who was originally sitting obediently on Lu Yulan's knees, immediately perked up his ears when he heard the well-behaved male voice, which was so precise and even the pauses between words were exactly the same.
Lu Xiaozhu Yuanhong: ...
Ten seconds later, Lu Yulan noticed that Xiaozhu kept fiddling with her fingers. She glanced at Taishan's polite remarks, and without thinking, turned to pet Xiaozhu.
What do these rights have to do with her? She's a teacher, not a student. Besides, if students at a military academy could be so easily bribed, that would be truly...
Half an hour later, Lu Yulan was getting a little bored. She had never liked these pretentious scenes.
Just as she was about to become restless, the conversation finally ended, and Miss Julie's servants began to bring gifts and food to each of them.
Looking at the lunchbox in front of her, Lu Yulan subconsciously frowned. She had designed the logo herself and added some thoughtful touches. Moreover, it was a special New Year's gift box. She didn't remember Miracle ever taking on such a big order.
"Sister Lan, this...?"
Chu Rui didn't continue, but his expression was slightly off. They were all family; if they couldn't even tell the difference between the genuine article and the counterfeit, they shouldn't be in this business. Moreover, people in interstellar space have a strong sense of law and order, so piracy is generally rare. This was why Yuan Fei was able to get away with it back then.
"You noticed too, shh, don't speak."
Although she now realizes it's fake, she still has the advantage of numbers, and exposing this nobleman to his face is not a wise move. Besides embarrassing him, it would also make Chu Rui an enemy.
It would be better to go back and have Liu An investigate the piracy issue and hold those responsible accountable. She just wanted to live a peaceful life, but some people just wouldn't...
