Banquet hall.

As the time for the dance slowly approached, the invited guests began to arrive one after another.

"Senior, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you've become more handsome."

"Where, where, you are still a little more powerful, look, after so many years, you are still as young and beautiful as when you just graduated."

........

"Teacher, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing all these years?"

"Okay, it's ruthless, but your kid is fighting for me, come with me to meet your junior brothers and sisters later, there are a few good seedlings who still need to be treated more by you, who are senior brothers."

"Look at what you said, teacher, there are more students, this really makes students sad, and I must be ....."

............

"Ah, senior sister, didn't you go to Xindu to develop? When did you come back? “

"Hehe, not long after I came back, I just received an invitation from the school, so I came over to take a look, I haven't seen you for a long time, junior brother, do you miss me?"

"I miss you...."

.............

Similar conversations are constantly staged, just like the most ordinary class reunions, but if someone who is more well-informed takes a closer look here, it can easily be found that these "seniors" and "seniors" are all new rising stars in Cornwallis City over the years, and even some people's influence is no longer limited to this declining old capital, but is the hottest emerging elite in the entire Southern Alliance, and is a real big man who has already ranked among the top ranks of the alliance.

However, now, so many big people are now gathered at the small banquet held by the student union of such a school, and even some people have come from other cities to come from thousands of miles to attend on time, which has to make people sigh that the influence of this student union is terrifying.

But when people saw that the school behind the student council was called Aldrich, everything suddenly became a matter of course.

After all, even though the former Hayward Empire had become the New Southern Alliance, Aldrich Academy was still the number one academy in the continent.

In the past imperial period, three-quarters of the top leaders often graduated from here, and in the current alliance period, even if the alliance is deliberately weakening the influence of the remnants of the empire, Aldrich's graduates still firmly occupy half of the country.

It is said that politicians are ruthless, but politicians are also human beings after all, and it is impossible for people to really have no feelings, and the best time in a person's life is often indispensable to the campus life that has passed.

And this is the foundation of the Aldrich Alliance, one of the largest hidden forces on the entire continent.

Oh, I'm sorry, what Aldrich alliance is not an alliance, the school rules clearly stipulate that students are forbidden to form gangs and factions, which is insulting.

Everyone is also a five-good student, and they never engage in any alliances, at best, they just occasionally hold a classmate alumni reunion.

So don't talk nonsense, the Aldrich Alliance doesn't exist, it's all fake news, it's the things that those newspapers with a conscience are afraid that the world will not make up nonsense to fool people. Keyuan

Aldrich Academy has always been a place to teach and educate people, a place for scholars to study knowledge, and has never involved any political positions.

Therefore, all the people who came to this party today are not the rising stars of the police station, the youngest members of the coalition parliament, etc., everyone is just graduates of the academy, and they are only graduates.

This is already a tradition in the academy, and under normal circumstances, no one will break this unspoken rule at will.

It's just that today it seems to be an unusual situation.

When a luxury carriage pulled by six black horses stopped at the door of the banquet hall, looking at a man and a woman getting off the carriage, the banquet hall with a harmonious and harmonious atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

In the absence of the eight horses representing the imperial royal family, the six-horse carriage is already the most noble status symbol, and there are only a few people in the entire alliance who can enjoy this treatment.

Everyone first took a deep look at the woman who was holding the man's arm with a happy smile on her face, and then their eyes stayed on the man who was very extraordinary at first glance.

Aldington. Valk.

That's the man's name.

The banquet hall, which was originally full of laughter and laughter, fell into silence because of the arrival of this uninvited guest, so quiet that the crisp impact of a metal spoon falling to the ground could be clearly heard in this huge banquet hall.

The people present were all young talents who had seen the world, so they naturally would not be unfamiliar with this man, after all, he was one of the most beautiful young people in the Southern Border Alliance.

The current Southern Alliance can be said to be a situation of three separate families, and these three are the Caroline family of the Grand Duke Violet, who holds the military power of the empire and is in charge of the founding artifact Lionheart; The Shelley family, to which the Shelley family, who is the legitimate heir to the empire and also holds the Shield of Thorns, the founding artifact, is the Shelley family; The last one was the Coal and Steel Union, an alliance of small and medium-sized nobles and a new aristocracy of large merchants.

And the leader of the coal and steel union is the Walker family, Aldington. Valk is the future heir of the Valk family.

Therefore, in this era when the royal family of the empire is not there and the major forces of the alliance are in their own way, such an identity can already be honored as a prince.

In fact, he was married to the heir of the Shelley family, Gwen. Indeed, Shelley has always been revered as the Prince of the Union.

On the other hand, the princess of the alliance is the princess, and she is still the eldest princess, who is the heir of the Caroline family, but the lady has always been secretive, and there is little news about it.

In normal times, and on other occasions, everyone would have welcomed the real prince with a smile, but now it is not the case, this prince is not a graduate of Aldrich, he graduated from St. Megar's College in the new capital.

And the invitation to the banquet of the student union is never sent to school graduates, so all this prince should not be here, so why did he come uninvited?

Everyone present is no longer the ignorant students in the ivory tower of the past, and after graduating, they have been crawling in the cruel society for many years, and everyone is already an old fox, so naturally they will not be without judgment about this.

In the same way, they are already old foxes, and they naturally don't know anything about the environment Aldrich is in, so after receiving the invitation from the student union and being willing to come over to this banquet, they have already silently indicated their choice, at least their tendencies.

So, is it friend or foe that His Royal Highness the prince of the alliance is rashly present?

The banquet hall was silent, except for the orchestra in the corner, which was still playing beautiful music dutifully, until two beautiful girls came down from the upper floor, breaking the silence...........
