The Forgotten One (3)
No, definitely not. It was all the more reason to think he was right. Wasnât it great to have someone voluntarily pick you up!
Reason? I donât give a damn about any âreasonâ!!
And just like that, the three of them (with a spirit) smoothly entered the palace in the royal carriage. They were even escorted to the ballroom where the ceremony was held.
When Ye Lang was about to enter the ballroom, it wasnât too late, nor was it early. There was still some time before the ceremony began.
Other than the royals, there were officials and other peasants outside sat in different areas. Even the huge parade grounds outside the palace were filled with people. Most of the attendees were there.
This ballroom, on the other hand, was where all the high-level officials and the most powerful and influential aristocrats gathered. Other than the royalsâ tables, this was the most powerful, most decorated area of all!
To start the ceremony, the empress dowager and the emperor would, through a special alchemy tool, talk to all the people of Dragon City. That would be the moment the party began across the lands.
Since there was still time, and they didnât see Princess Longji, Ye Lang started to look for a seat, and maybe some appetizers.
âYou mean lady!!â
Thud!
The spirit girl dropped her things on the floor. This voice was one Ye Lang didnât want to hear at all. In fact, he hated this voice.
Only one person would call her âmean ladyâ-- and that was the little princess. You donât need to ask why she was there, this was her territory!
âYouâre so annoying!â said Ye Lang, very honestly expressing his feelings.
â...No, YOUâRE annoying. You mean lady, give me my baby back!!â shrieked the little princess.
âThis is irritating! As I said, I can pay you back, and YOU said no! Alright, let me tell you this, Iâll give you another one next year. So stop annoying me!!â frowned Ye Lang, as if he was disgusted.
Was that a look of disgust? Who dares look at me like that, you vile womanâŠ
The little princess was very upset. This was the first time anyone had looked at her liked that. People have showered her with love all her life. Everyone liked her. No one had hated her like this!
âNext year... Will you really give me one?â asked the little princess, peering suspiciously at the spirit girl.
âRelax, even if I canât visit, I will send someone to bring the plant over!!â Ye Lang waved, then continue looking for food. However, the spirit girl was only looking. She didnât eat. Instead, she put them in her pocket.
Obviously, this was because Ye Lang wanted to eat and the spirit couldnât.
The little princess looked at the spirit girl, a little weirded out. Why did this mean lady not eat? And even if she had to pack, she shouldâve at least taken a few bites here!
After watching her for a moment, the little princess left. She didnât want to waste time with the spirit girl. Her siblings were everywhere in the ballroom, it would be too easy to find someone that would shower her with love.
Upon making her appearance and greeting everyone, the empress dowager noticed the spirit girl in a corner. âFair maiden, come. Let me introduce you to my son.â
âOhâŠâ grunted the spirit girl, then walked over.
At this point, due to the empress dowager, everyoneâs attention was focused on this spirit girl. All eyes were fixed on her, some in a daze.
The spirit girlâs flawless beauty emitted a mesmerizing aura wherever she went. It always attracted everyoneâs attention!
Who was this girl?
At this point, everyone had a thought. Although theyâd heard of a name, only very few people had personally met her.
And even the people whoâd met her were wondering. Was that really her?
Before, the spirit girl was only in casual attire- and it was enough for people to swoon. However, there was still a huge difference from her wearing a full ball gown. Clothes made a big difference!
âFair maiden, these are my grandsons and granddaughters. Mix around, get to know each other!â After spotting her, the empress dowager seemed to have the desire of making the spirit girl her granddaughter-in-law again.
Well, itâs all up to fate!!
âHow do you do, Iâm Lady Marge. You can call me Lady,â said the spirit girl with a curtsy. Perhaps this was what the empress dowager liked about her. Although Ye Lang was always clueless, he still had his manners and etiquettes.
âHow do you do, Lady Marge. I am LongâŠâ The prince and princesses started to introduce themselves, but they all bore different attitudes. They were polar opposites-- the warmth of the princes and the iciness of the princesses!
Men were always warm and passionate when they met this beautiful woman, while the women were a little jealous to see someone prettier than themselves.
And the spirit girlâs beauty was enough for almost every woman on earth to be jealous!!
âMay I know where Princess Longji is?â the spirit girl wasnât the least bit interested in them. She was only interested in Princess Longji. Ye Lang thought Princess Longji wouldâve definitely been among these people.
âLongji? Youâve heard of her? Sheâs not here yet. Sheâs one busy person, and sheâd usually only arrive at the very last second. Perhaps she would be very late today!!â The empress dowager was puzzled. How did this maiden know of Princess Longji? That thought quickly vanished though.
Princess Longji was very well-known across the Vermilion Bird Kingdom. She was the most looked-up-to in her generation!
Many people wanted to get close to her because Princess Longji wasnât just a pretty princess. She was also a very capable leader. A powerful, influential and beautiful princess was the perfect candidate for all the men.
âSister Longji will definitely be late. Itâs just HOW late,â said the little princess.
âMm!â Everyone agreed.
Looks like Princess Longji was the late type. When he heard this, he directly excused himself to look at more food.
Since Princess Longji was going to be late and the ceremony hadnât even started, he didnât have to wait!
The people watching her could easily guess that this Lady Marge had rushed here for Princess Longji. But why?
They couldnât guess, so they could only continue to watch the spirit girl!
âSigh, you are so stupid! Youâve revealed our mission again!!â Coldblood Five and Seven were exasperated, but they couldnât do anything about it.
The princess hesitated as they watch the spirit girl leave. After a moment, they still didnât approach her. They were still princess after all, how could they let down their pride!!
âThis maiden⊠Oh fine! Iâll just leave it up to fate!â The empress dowager saw everything, but she knew she couldnât do anything about it. She was about to leave to meet the people with the emperor later anyway. Things like these require certain karma.
