"Hello, Miss... We are from the Little Apple Class of Saint Glory Academy. We like you very much. May we hug you?"
A group of children in matching school uniforms looked at Quan Ji with pure eyes, their gazes filled with admiration and longing.
They knew who brought them their hard-won happiness; the young lady was their hero, and they all adored her.
And the young lady is so beautiful, like a goddess... it's impossible to look away, and your heart is pounding.
But the young lady looks so cold and scary... They're a little hesitant—what if she doesn't like them?
The children were very cautious, which surprised Quan Ji for a moment. Her gaze fell on the crowd behind her:
"This is……"
Yun Shenhai rubbed the tip of his nose: "Sacred Glory Academy is not just an academy that teaches people how to fight. After much thought, we realized that children are the flowers of the future of our country. They may not have strength, but they must always remember that they are citizens of the Sacred Glory Empire. They must be useful talents who can uphold the dignity of the country at all times and play a role even if they cannot fight. We want them to feel the glory and magnanimity of a powerful nation. Therefore, children over five years old in the Sacred Glory Empire have the opportunity to study at Sacred Glory Academy."
“My dear disciple, we know you’ve worked very hard, and we know you want the Holy Glory Empire to become an empire for the people, so… we won’t leave all the responsibilities and burdens to you. We will do our best to help you achieve these things. We will assist you in making the Holy Glory Empire the most unique and ideal empire in the entire Noah Continent.”
Hearing these words, Quan Ji felt a surge of heat in her chest, her crimson lips curved upwards, and her golden eyes smiled: "Thank you."
Even without her, the Holy Empire is growing and becoming stronger at a visible pace, something she, as a leader, should be proud of.
Giving children aged five and above the opportunity to study at Holy Glory Academy is something that did not exist in other empires or other academies before.
Because this continent reveres force too much.
Quan Ji still remembers how, when she concealed her strength and lay low in the Holy Glory Imperial Palace, she was humiliated in various ways because she was a useless, unloved princess.
Even a lowly maid could act arrogantly and domineeringly towards her.
She had no status and could only endure in silence; she didn't even have the right to learn to read and write.
Even now, her handwriting is so crooked and illegible that it's practically unreadable!
The current system of Shengyao Academy not only fulfills the dreams of so many families in the Shengyao Empire, but also fulfills her childhood dream of secretly studying with a twig by the window.
This is of extraordinary significance.
Because she had been through it, she knew how important learning was for a child.
Because she had already experienced the harsh realities of growing up, she knew exactly how many people such a system could benefit.
She looked at the trembling children in front of her and a gentle smile appeared on her face.
Like a spring breeze, like ice melting away, Princess Quan's smile was so beautiful that it left all the children speechless.
If the world had to choose the most beautiful sight, children would undoubtedly choose the young lady's smile.
It is full of kindness and gentleness.
Their fear vanished instantly, leaving no trace.
"Miss...may we hug you?"
They couldn't help but ask another question.
