The person who came looked to be in his forties or fifties.
This doesn't refer to his age, but rather that he looked a few years older than his actual age due to excessive worry—he wasn't particularly handsome, his features were above average, and he even had a slightly protruding belly, clearly indicating that he had gained weight.
Even though he had gained weight, it still made those around him gasp, take a step back in surprise and respect, and bow their heads in greeting.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Ross quickly waved his hand: "Don't bow, don't bow. I came here secretly today, not to show any respect for any status—"
The crowd rose to their feet as if on cue: "Why did the Prince come like this?"
"You didn't bring any bodyguards or assistants, how could you come all alone? How can we feel at ease with that!"
Ross laughed, "Why bring bodyguards and assistants! Today, I'm just an ordinary tourist visiting the exhibition. Don't kick me out just because I came here uninvited."
"Hahaha, how could that be—" the Speaker laughed. "Come, come, Miss Yang, let me introduce you. This is Prince Ross! The Prince is very easygoing, so you don't need to be afraid."
The general also smiled and said, "Then let me introduce Miss Yang. Your Highness, this is today's protagonist, the one who researched the forging method with a 100% mental capacity, Miss Yang An'an."
The two stepped back, revealing Tong Su's faint smile to Ross.
Ross interrupted earlier, only catching the phrase "royal guarantee," but he didn't actually see Tong Su's face; at most, he only saw half of her back.
However, at this moment...
Among the crowd, there was a young girl with a beautiful face and a gentle smile.
She was quite young, practically a child, with a somewhat childlike face. Her appearance inexplicably made Ross feel a sense of familiarity, and upon meeting her, he felt an immediate sense of warmth and kinship.
Ross couldn't help but smile at her.
It was a bit ingratiating, a bit kind, and entirely the pride and joy of an elder seeing an outstanding junior.
Realizing his strange emotions, Ross frowned again. Something was wrong. Why did he feel a strange sense of pride and esteem for her, like an elder, and even a desire to take care of her?
She and he have no relationship whatsoever, so it shouldn't be like this...
But—this little girl is so well-behaved and clever, isn't it normal to feel fond of her upon seeing her?
However, she is indeed too young. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, so well-behaved and intelligent, shouldn't she be pampered by her parents?
She should be a good student at school every day and be loved by her whole family. Why should she have to go out and struggle to make a living on her own?
How could her father be such a father? He's completely unreliable!
Ross was lost in his own thoughts and completely oblivious to the puzzled and surprised looks on the faces of those around him.
Everyone saw Ross's expression change several times in the blink of an eye, sometimes with a kind and appreciative look, and sometimes with a frown, dissatisfaction, and anger.
They were both amused and exasperated, inwardly thinking: "The prince's change of expression is quite fast, almost as fast as that famous ancient Earth-era theatrical face-changing art that the God Galaxy Cultural Research Institute is currently reconstructing and researching!"
Tsk.
Ross was lost in his own emotions and didn't react for a long time. The general frowned and quietly touched Ross's arm, which brought him back to his senses.
Seeing the way everyone was looking at him, Ross realized what he had just done. A little embarrassed, he covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly.
