Two students had just stepped down from the arena in front.
At this point, no one else had gone up to fight.
Upon hearing Aurelian's words, Hilda paused slightly. Just as she was about to speak to dissuade him, she noticed a glance that August had given her.
So she quickly shut her mouth, afraid that she might say something wrong again.
At that moment, King Augustus, with a smile, spoke up casually.
"sure."
"I'd also love to see the princess's skills; perhaps she could teach our students a valuable lesson."
His words were impeccable, making it easy for people to develop a favorable impression of him.
Even the empire's foreign ministers couldn't find fault with what they wanted to say.
Furthermore, since it was ultimately the princess's own choice, the empire's foreign ministers couldn't really say anything about it.
Upon hearing the king's words, Hilda finally understood.
Just now, she said something wrong in front of the envoy from the other country, which is a major taboo.
What kind of logic is it to ask a foreign princess to perform a swordplay when she visits?
But the mistake has already been made, and all that's left is to continue down the wrong path.
Otherwise, she just said she wanted to see it.
Now, when the princess has clearly shown her willingness.
She then tried to dissuade the other party from doing so.
Wouldn't that be deliberately undermining the other party's chances?
How many heads does she have to dare say that?
Hilda quickly spoke up:
"Your Highness, please go on stage."
"I will have the instructors below prepare you for the next battle."
The princess nodded calmly, accompanied by a sharp aura emanating from her body.
She turned sideways and walked to the aisle of the audience seats.
Just as she walked out, the female student who had been on the ring earlier also happened to walk over.
The two passed each other in the same aisle.
Sensing Aurelion's imposing aura, Joanna couldn't help but turn around and look at Aurelion's back.
They are strangers.
She came to Hilda's side, and upon seeing the king, bowed deeply to him.
"His Majesty."
The king waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for further formalities.
Joanna straightened up and looked at her sister, Instructor Hilda.
"sister……"
She really wanted to ask her sister how she had performed.
But before Joanna could finish speaking, she noticed that Hilda was holding a communication crystal in her hand.
It was as if they were conveying a very important message.
So, she wisely shut her mouth and stood next to her sister without looking for a seat.
She simply raised her head and looked towards the ring.
At that moment, the girl Joanna had just seen was now standing in the ring in front of countless spectators.
She wore a long dress that connected to her armor; the shimmering material undulated and flowed, as if wrapped in a faint glow, making her look absolutely beautiful.
However, this puzzled Joanna greatly.
That girl was someone I had never seen before.
She wasn't even wearing the college uniform.
Even the students in the audience looked incredibly puzzled when they saw who it was.
At this moment, the instructors below received a message from Hilda.
So, they calmly and deliberately dropped a bombshell on everyone:
"Just a quick note: the new contestant is a princess from the Karencia Empire."
"Your Highness Aurelion Sol."
At that moment, almost all the audience members below the stage erupted in an uproar.
The princess of the empire, participating in the assessment battle at their kingdom's academy?
The students, of course, didn't understand what politics was; they were just very excited.
They were so excited that they were all itching to challenge the princess of the empire.
After all, victory would enhance the kingdom's prestige.
Wouldn't they be set for life?
Even Joanna was incredibly surprised.
A princess from the empire?
No wonder her sister was so busy just now and didn't even have time to reply to her.
Clearly, she had just been informing the instructors below very quickly.
At this moment, the instructors' voices, amplified by the loudspeaker, resounded across the entire stage once again.
"We look forward to this princess bringing a wonderful teaching battle to our students."
Amid cheers and applause from the audience.
King Augustus, sitting below the stage, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
First, bring up the princess's name. As long as the next student isn't a fool, he'll understand that he has to deliberately lose to the princess.
Of course, even if the student was a hothead, August had already thought everything through.
At worst, there are still the instructors on the field.
You only need to assign one relatively weak student.
It's not that I don't trust this princess.
But since no one has ever seen the princess in battle, it is difficult to know Aurelion's true strength.
What if the princess loses to an ordinary student from the kingdom and loses face?
Then the diplomatic relations between the empire and the kingdom can be ended ahead of schedule.
The same principle applies.
If their own people lose, wouldn't that mean the students from the kingdom are really bad?
The students are so incompetent; they can't even defeat an underage princess.
Unfortunately, this princess was just a sorcerer.
Swordsmanship is only a secondary skill.
That's why it's said that, given the obvious inequality in their status, simply asking to see the fight is already highly inappropriate.
Winning or losing, it benefits no one.
