Chapter 105: Before the Duel

The carriage moved slowly, and Alice looked out the window at the city of Jalan with a look of deep worry on her face.

"Miss, I don't know what the hell Sophia will do this time, are you sure to pass the test? Thea's voice suddenly rang out in the carriage, and her tone was full of concern.

Alice let out a long sigh and withdrew her gaze to Thea, "I don't associate with Ari anymore, but she still haunts me like this. ”

Thea was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Miss might as well admit defeat,"

Alice looked at Thea in surprise, wondering if she was scared.

Thea persuaded, "Miss, you think, the family is now in decline, why should we fight with the eldest princess of a country, it is better to get out early." ”

Alice pondered, and felt that Thea had a point, but now she could still get out of it.

Seeing that Alice was silent, Thea said again, "Miss, you also feel it, with Sophia's instigation, the attitude of those students in the academy has become so bad.

Those bad girls always come to you for trouble, especially Ruth, who is a complete poisonous worm.

Miss, you still forget about His Royal Highness and admit defeat to Princess Sophia. ”

Alice sighed and smiled bitterly, "Even if she admits defeat, Sophia won't give up looking for trouble, she just can't see that someone is better than herself, so she snatched Yari, and this game is just to prove that she is more harmful than me." ”

Thea suddenly choked up with grief, "Miss, you are so pitiful, but His Royal Highness Yali watched and didn't care, and circled around Sophia all day long. ”

Alice smiled faintly, "Ari is wronged for the sake of this country, and he follows Sophia all day long just to curry favor with the suzerain." I believe in him. ”

"Miss, you really can't see it. His Royal Highness has been fascinated by Sophia, and he has forgotten about you at all. Thea persuaded bitterly. I just want Alice to stop fighting Sophia.

"Don't say that about him, Ari is not such a person. Alice looked out the window again, but her snow-white hands were quietly clenched.

The carriage traveled for half an hour to the gate of Chris's Academy of Magic, and at this moment all kinds of carriages were parked inside and outside the gate, and there were soldiers from the imperial capital patrolling to maintain traffic.

Several sharp-eyed soldiers saw that the carriage had the Fuman family emblem, and immediately came over to lead the coachman around the crowd outside and walked slowly towards the academy.

Thea looked out the window and sighed, "How can so many people come to the academy, are they all here to see this magic competition?" ”

Alice said indifferently, "Maybe it's just to see me make a fool of myself." By the way, tout to please Sophia. ”

Thea looked worriedly inside the car, and Alice was no longer interested in the window at this time, and sat quietly in the shadows of the carriage.

Maybe it's an illusion of light, Alice's body seems to be a little trembling, and her beautiful face is also a little trance-like.

Thea grabbed Alice's cold hand worriedly and called softly, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Alice sighed and looked out the window and said, "It's only been a month, and those smiling faces have become cold. The academy where I had lived for three years was also unfamiliar. ”

Thea smiled and comforted Alice, "It's okay, when Sophia leaves Jalan City, you will be the princess sought after by everyone again." ”

Alice said bitterly, "Will I really come back, I don't need the glory of the stars holding the moon." It would be nice to be able to go back to the way when you were without troubles. ”

Thea clasped Alice's hands again and affirmed, "Miss, please believe that the sickness will pass." Everything will go back to its original life. ”

Alice was silent for a long time, and then suddenly smiled, "That's right." Sophia couldn't have stayed in Jalan City for too long, for the sake of the family. I'm not going to provoke her. ”

The carriage marched to the square of Chris's Academy of Magic, which was crowded with people, all around a large rectangular stone platform in the center, where Alice was in the ring for the entrance exam.

At this moment, Sophia, dressed up, was standing on the stone platform, smiling at everyone in the audience and throwing flying kisses from time to time, which caused the audience to burst into cheers.

I don't know when a high stand was erected next to the stone platform, which was much taller than the stone platform, and there were many important people sitting on the neatly covered seats.

In addition to the tutors of the academy, there are also nobles from the imperial capital such as the Slime family, and the crown prince Yali is also among them, and at this moment he is looking at Sophia scratching his head with an ugly face.

Dressed in a red magic robe, Akane stood respectfully on the side of the stage, acting as the referee of this special match, but she was completely flattering to the charismatic princess Sofia, like the most faithful maid.

An audience of countless students surrounded the stone platform, but there were soldiers in the middle who forcibly separated the road, and Alice's carriage was able to reach the stone platform and stop.

Thea opened the door and got out of the carriage, then led Alice out of the carriage, causing an immediate exclamation around her.

"This is the daughter of the House of Fuman, and she is far more beautiful than I could have imagined. ”

"Miss Alice, who is said to be nobler than a princess, I hope she will win today's contest. ”

"The eldest princess Sophia is also a beauty, and when we compete on the stage together, we can carefully distinguish who is more beautiful. ”

"Although Alice is as beautiful as a goddess, Sophia is a real princess after all, and she will be the future queen of the Roman Empire, and there is no suspense in this game. ”

......

Alice listened to the overwhelming discussion around her, and her mood became even heavier, and she even dared not go on stage.

Thea helped Alice and whispered in her snow-jade ear, "Don't be nervous, just admit defeat if you go up and make a show, anyway, as long as you participate in the competition, you will get a loan, and we will go home soon." ”

Alice took a deep breath, let go of Thea's hand, smiled at her, and slowly walked towards the stone platform.

She was dressed in a blue magician's robe fluttering in the sunlight breeze, as if the whole person wanted to ride the wind, and her beautiful face was a little uneasy and nervous, and people couldn't help but feel like they wanted to hug and care for her.

"Alice, the pride of Chris's Academy of Magic, our goddess. ”

"Beautiful girl, you must win for the people of Jalan City, I can put a lot of money on you. ”

"Miss Alice smiled at us, let's see. ”

......

Alice walked up to the stone platform in embarrassment, only to see Sophia look at her with contempt, her eyes as cold as a poisonous snake, and the referee Ruth Magician also looked at her with a smile.

She avoided this look in disgust and looked at the spectator on the side, where the big names looked indifferent, but occasionally smiled at Sophia with a friendly and flattering smile.

After a sweep of the stands, he finally found the crown prince Yari among the big shots, and at this moment he glared at Sofia angrily, as if he was a little helpless.

Ally felt a special gaze on this, and when he looked up and followed it, he saw Alice staring at him pitifully, with an indescribable grievance in his eyes. (To be continued......)
