Act 59: Founding Day Celebration

Bang –

With the roar of fireworks, brilliant fireworks burst into the sky, announcing the official start of the founding celebration of Christine Royal College.

Surprisingly, Grand Duke Anglais, the regent also came to the venue.

Grand Duke Angli was the husband of the late Queen Majesty, and since Her Royal Highness was still a minor, he temporarily held the supreme power of the Kingdom of Aster, and in fact, most people would normally call him King.

The middle-aged man, dressed in a well-dressed coat and combing his dark blonde hair into his back, spoke first, his tone steady, full of the unfazed atmosphere characteristic of the upper class aristocracy.

The content of the speech was nothing special, it was just some regular words, which made the students who had not gotten up early for a long time because of the suspension of classes and revisions a little absent-minded.

After the Regent, it was Principal Trastan's speech, which was also boring, causing the students to start whispering.

"Who do you say will win this magic competition?"

"I bet on the eldest lady of the Trest family, do you see the person behind His Majesty the King, that is the current head of the Trest family, with this layer of relationship in it, how can he lose !??"

"I don't think so, although the Trest family has a lot of influence in the country, after all, they are just ordinary nobles, and in terms of magic, they can't compare to the background of those magic families. ”

"Isn't there another contestant who doesn't seem to have any background in the finals this year, it's called ...... What's going on?"

"I don't know, it can't be that guy anyway, I think there is hope for the Sanderson family, and in this area, the Sanderson family is the most powerful. ”

"Then I'll bet on both sides. ”

The topic of the most discussed by the students was the magic competition.

This is also quite normal, compared to those big nobles, there are still magic competitions where you can see all kinds of wonderful magic, which can arouse the interest of the students more.

After the principal's speech, it was time for some important guests to speak, but fortunately, the whole square was magically treated to isolate the cold and snow outside, otherwise there would probably not be many students who could sit in the cold for so long to listen to these tedious clichΓ©s.

Most of the guests who came to the founding day celebration were magic-related people, many of whom were former graduates or academic celebrities who had been invited, which is why the magic competition was important, and being able to stand out in front of these people who had the right to speak would also be of great help to the contestants themselves in the future path of the magical world.

Just when everyone was in a position to speak, a trumpet sounded from the back of the crowd.

"What?"

"What's that sound?"

"New tricks this year?"

The students were all in a state of confusion, but the people on the rostrum had already made their own moves.

Grand Duke Angli raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, and then whispered a few words to the Earl of Trester behind him.

Principal Trastein looked surprised, then hurriedly called a few teachers and whispered orders.

The students, on the other hand, turned their heads one after another and looked at the convoy slowly approaching outside the square.

The convoy marching on the snow-covered ground was led by a pure white horse riding a glittering knight in full armor.

The carriage behind him was also snow-white, only the two flags fluttering on the carriage shone in the winter sun.

One of them is quite familiar to everyone, the national flag of the kingdom of Aster, shining brightly under the stars.

On the other hand, for many people, it is a little unfamiliar.

Silver-edged, black-bottomed, and in the center is the glittering silver moon Eustia, and under the moonlight, a lily blooms quietly, reflecting the starry flag.

The Lily Banner of the Stars and Moon.

In the entire continent of Atlas, there is only one person who can use this flag.

During the Eclipse of the Moon War decades ago, he escaped from an abandoned fortress and endured hardships to finally lead Astel from the deepest darkness to the dawn.

"Her Majesty Queen Elyfils......"

Principal Trastein whispered the other's name.

Her Royal Highness's grandmother's sister, Her Majesty the Queen, who had been out of business for many years and lived in seclusion in the palace, why would she appear in Christine now?

Is it to participate in the founding day celebration?

Headmaster Trastein didn't think he had the ability to invite such a big person, and he looked at Archduke Angli, a middle-aged man with an usually expressionless face, and he also showed a little helplessness at this time.

"There's nothing I can do to restrain that adult's actions. ”

He shrugged.

Then, in full view of everyone, the carriage drove under the rostrum, and the haughty knight dismounted and opened the door for the owner of the carriage.

A kind old man stepped out of the carriage.

Her blonde hair still shines, her pale blue eyes are deeper than the sea, and although her face is full of wrinkles, you can still get a glimpse of the woman's youthful appearance.

Princess Silvermoon, Flower of Astelle, Valkyrie, such names have long been familiar, but for most people, it is the first time they have seen this legendary figure.

"Angeli. ”

She spoke, in a gentle voice.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Grand Duke Angli did not have the slightest majesty as a regent at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man.

"I came to see my lovely granddaughter. ”

Queen Eliefils said, and she didn't pay too much attention to it, and sat down in the corner of the rostrum.

At this time, the students who were in a state of shock came back to their senses, thinking of this magic competition and the arrival of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

However, they did not find out where the so-called Royal Highness the princess was, there were many young women on the podium, but most of them were famous mages, and occasionally one or two did not show up, and they did not look like Her Royal Highness the princess.

Could it be that Her Royal Highness will not reveal her true face until the dinner party?

Many people think like this, after all, she is a very delicate girl, and it doesn't seem appropriate to be exposed to the public like this.

The commotion quickly subsided, and Principal Trastan took back control of the celebration, and with a wave of his hand, a ray of light flew from his fingertips, drawing a string of words in mid-air, announcing the opening of the magic competition, the highlight of the founding day celebration.

All the whispers fell silent, and all the students widened their eyes as they waited for the first presenter to appear.

However, there are also people who are absent-minded and worried about other things.

"Grandia, where the hell did you go?"

Lottie looked above the stage and muttered to herself.
