The maiden and the princess
On the day of the feast, Aprily Daylight—as she should now be called Aprily White—entered the banquet hall with her male companion's hand.
"Miss Aprily White and Mr. William Smith have arrived—"
April stepped into the banquet hall, the crystal chandelier shining high, the low and melodious music flowing, she tilted her head slightly,
April's male companion smiled at her.
Her male companion is a student at the Imperial Academy of Magic named William Smith.
Antonia Mill is the magic genius of the Empire, unparalleled in the world, and is likely to become an epic celebrity in the future, naturally has a high status in the best magic academy in the Empire, she is the dean and student, and this William Smith is his student.
At the same time, because he was an orphan, he naturally became the object of the Mir family's patronage. The Mir family helped him pay for the high cost of tuition and materials so that he could complete his studies without having to run for money. Of course, he rightfully became a "man of the Mir family".
The Mir family is loyal to the royal family, and the inner core of the family is among the very few who have access to the deep secrets of the royal family, referring to April.
As a "member of the Mir family", William's various information is clearly grasped by the Mir family, so this "clean" identity makes him April's male companion.
It's not that there are no people in the Mill family who are more noble than William, on the contrary, there are, but April's current status is just the daughter of a small nobleman, and it is impossible for her to come into contact with those noble men of the Mill family.
It would be easy for some noble nobles to become April's male companions, but what April needed was to keep a low profile, and no matter how low-key she was, she couldn't attract the attention of others, because this was the condition that the emperor allowed her to attend the banquet - she couldn't reveal her identity.
Of course, the most important reason for choosing William Smith is that he is also a member of the chat group, and the group name: [I with two identities].
Antonia helps, he is the head of the Mill family, so he influences the final candidate to become April's male companion, and successfully makes William her male companion.
[Me as a two]: Lily and I are in!
[A Princess]: Stick, stick
[A Thief]: Sticking [Flying Kiss.jpg]
[Daily baby]: [Hug .jpg]
……
Everyone in the group posted happily.
The banquet hall was brightly lit, staggered, and crowded. Men and women dressed in gorgeous clothes, coming and going, talking or dancing.
The swinging skirt is embroidered with gold threads, the sapphire bow on the neckline when the chin is talking, and the slender back neck and diamond-filled necklace are revealed when the head is bowed to drink, and the air of luxury comes to the face.
April took William's elbow and pulled him to a more remote corner according to the position given to him in the group.
An ordinary-looking aristocratic young man, holding a fork plate in his hand, was eating a small cake there, and the sweet cake made him squint with satisfaction.
It was [a thief's] disguise.
When the boy saw them coming, he winked playfully and smiled brightly.
April pretends to be interested in the little cake in the boy's hand and takes the opportunity to chat with him, and William joins in the conversation. All three of them acted as if they were meeting for the first time, friendly and polite.
Because there are many people at the banquet, everyone's identities are different, and their respective identities limit their actions.
They can't get together as a group, it would be weird.
It's obviously a person with such a big identity gap, obviously someone who has never known each other, but naturally becomes familiar with it, as if friends from many years meet again - that will become the headline of this banquet!
Therefore, they can only form groups of threes and threes, and approach each other to chat according to coincidence or similar identities.
The three of them chatted very happily, and a girl with ephedra hair came over slowly, with a little girlish shyness, and asked William to dance together. [A thief] looked at the yellow-haired girl and laughed at William to accept the invitation, "Can't let such a delicate rose cry!" The boy said this, and turned to invite April to go dancing with him.
This ephedra-haired girl was [begging], and [Lord of the Wind] entered this banquet, and she was brought in.
April's eyes met as the yellow-haired girl smiled politely, and Aprily bowed slightly to the yellow-haired girl and stepped onto the dance floor with [a thief's] hand. William and the yellow-haired girl glanced at each other and stepped onto the dance floor holding hands.
Aprili had learned to dance, but she was not proficient in it, but it was enough for the occasion, and [a thief] was worthy of the appearance of a young man who appeared to be a handsome young man, and the two of them danced happily.
At the end of the dance, all four of them left the dance floor in tacit agreement. The four people who met for the first time chatted together. The ephedra-haired girl indicated that she had seen her master, and she motioned to the other three for the tall woman standing not far from them.
That was the group member [Wind Lord], and the person she was chatting with was familiar, it was Antonia.
They chatted a few words, and Antonia left.
The tall and beautiful woman looked this way, spotted them, smiled politely with the three of them, and beckoned to the ephedra-haired girl to come over.
So the yellow-haired girl said goodbye to the three of them and left.
Aprili pretended to be curious to glance at the tall woman, and continued to engage in chatting with the other two, chatting and chatting, and as time passed, they naturally separated.
April followed the information in the group and walked to the other side of the banquet hall.
April's eyes drifted slightly, and her steps were brisk.
On the surface, the girl just walked casually and looked at it in a different place. In fact, the goal is clear, and I went in the direction of [Wind Wanderer].
Oh, she saw him.
The black hair is combed into the back, the grace is not reduced, the broad body is wrapped in a well-made suit, a pair of charming blue eyes, and the eyes contain stars in the eyes when he smiles.
This young man, who at first glance looks like a playboy and a veteran of the love scene, is talking to a lady. He smiled and spat out flirtatious and funny words that amused the woman across from him. Laughing non-stop.
April unconsciously quickened her pace and walked towards it, looking as if she was bewitched by the beauty.
"Oops!" April accidentally bumps into a man. She stopped and was about to apologize. Suddenly, the system panel automatically popped open in front of her.
Her pupils shrank, and she was little frightened.
[Group message: [A Princess] personal main line opened.] ]
I don't know the sound of the male and female system sounded.
The news that all the members of the group could see and hear exploded in their heads.
The elegant woman's words were interrupted, the eating teenager stopped, and the dancing girl and her partner were on the wrong beat.
The members of the group at the banquet all cast their eyes on this side.
Aprili was amazed as she looked at the chat group's personal interface.
The personal main line above. It used to be a locked state, but now it's [Personal Main: Chapter 1 Golden Lily]
This lock on the personal interface has also caused a discussion in the group.
They speculate that maybe this is what the system is trying to achieve, and maybe it is the reason why they came into this world.
As for what would happen after this goal was achieved, a member of the group whose intuition had become strong after the crossing and even came close to prophesying told them that he had a hunch that this was their hope of returning home. In a world of magic, they trust their instincts that have been blessed with magic.
The members of the group also guessed how to start their personal main line, but they didn't expect it to be at this time.
The light of day home appeared, and April was inevitably a little excited. The group also exploded.
The girl took a deep breath and calmed her excitement. She came back to her senses and quickly picked up the girl who bumped into her.
Oh my God, what kind of beauty is that?
The pink hair was soft on the shoulders of the girl in front of April, and in the large, round eyes was a sea of pink flowers, and the delicate face seemed to be a creation carved by the gods and baptized with the breeze and the sun and the moon.
It's like a doll! April sighed in her heart.
[The Wind Wanderer] also came over, and he helped the girl to pick her up, and when April apologized to the girl, [The Wind Wanderer] also asked the girl in a gentle voice if she was any wrong.
The pink-haired girl shook her head, about to say something. "Mary!" Someone shouted over there, and the girl looked over there, "Come here!" ”
"Okay!"
The pink-haired girl, Mary, told April that she didn't care and thanked [the Wanderer] for her help, and picked up her skirt and hurried away.
"Who is she?"
April accidentally put the question out of her mouth.
[The Wind Wanderer] replied to her with a light smile, "I don't know which lady that beautiful god's daughter is?" But I knew the man, and it was the Little Duke of Margaret. Miss, if you are interested in her, you can also ask in this regard. ”
Aprili looked sideways at the brunette youth.
The young man took advantage of the situation to reach out and introduce himself, "My name is Thomas Bell, a nobleman from the Kingdom of Hall. It's an honor to meet you, beautiful young lady. ”
April took his hand back, "My name is Aprily White, and it's a pleasure to meet you, handsome Mr. Bell. ”
Bell is a playboy who likes beautiful women, and April's disguised appearance is a little beauty, so they naturally chat.
The two seemed to be just chatting about something interesting on the surface, and they both joined the big discussion in the group behind the scenes.
[Wind Wanderer]: That man is Duke Margaret's eldest son: Duke Edward Margaret the Younger. I didn't know the girl next to him, Edward called her Mary, and I remember that no one in Edward's network was eligible.
[Wind Wanderer]: [Pink-haired girl front picture .jpg]
[Wind Wanderer]: I took a picture of her face
[Wind Lord]: I've contacted someone to check.
[begging]: Wow, I just went to the toilet, what did I miss?!
[Daily baby]: Lily, your main line is open, has there been any change in the system?
[A Princess]: The system interface can't take screenshots, only the personal main line should have changed. Became [Personal Main Line: Chapter 1 Golden Lily]
[A Princess]: I can be sure that the personal main line started the moment I bumped into that Miss Mary, and she was definitely an important person!
[A Princess]: April's memory has no information about Mary, I don't know her at all, this is the first time we've met.
[I'm a genius]: I haven't seen this girl, but Margaret's family is closer to the Mir family, and I went to check the information of the Mir's family
[Cafe-kun]: I'll go to the boss's intelligence bank to find out, this kind of person will definitely not be really unknown, unless someone deliberately hides!
[Me as a two-person person]: My classmates and I asked, Edward Margaret was in the same class as me!
[Daily baby]: Everyone be careful, don't be found A group of people suddenly investigate a young girl
[Wind Wanderer]: It doesn't need to be too secretive, that girl's face will definitely be the center of attention, and it's normal to attract the attention of others
[A thief]: I followed the girl, and she left the banquet hall with the little Duke Margaret and went deeper into the palace
[A thief]: There are so many masters in the palace that I can't keep up with them anymore......
Everyone's mind was not on the banquet.
April's eyes were empty, as if she were out of the world, and she mechanically took small sips of grape juice from her glass.
She was reading a message in a chat group in her head.
The chat group interface can appear in front of you, floating in the air, and only group members can see it. But staring at the interface in front of her for a long time will attract the attention of others, and the speed of reading with her eyes can't match the speed of thinking, when there is too much information in the group and the speed of discussion is too fast, she will choose to read in her head.
A group of powerful bigwigs in the group said that they would investigate the girl named Mary, and [a thief] with [Infiltration Ability: Superb] said that they couldn't continue to follow, and April knew it was her turn.
She put down her glass and hurried in the direction [a thief] had said.
She pretended to be a girl who couldn't find the lounge, went the wrong way, and wandered around the place [a thief] had said, and she came out a little late, so she could only try her luck.
In the empty hallway, only the sound of April walking briskly.
As she walked, April was no longer far from the ballroom, and she didn't know where she had come, but she remembered the way back.
There was a faint voice in my ears.
“... Child...... Mary...... I've seen..."
Mary?!
Walking too fast around a corner, Aprily slammed on the brakes.
In front of her was a garden, full of greenery. In the garden she saw a middle-aged man, with his back to her, talking to someone, and some of the voices she heard should have been from him.
She hurriedly retreated around the corner and took a screenshot. She didn't know if the two of them had anything to do with her main story, and if the Mary they were talking about was the same person she had met, but it might be useful information to take a screenshot first.
Look at the middle-aged man's clothes, he is either rich or expensive, and most of his body is blocked by flowers...
The one who was blocked...
The corner of the clothes...
Aprili squinted at the corner of her dress.
The person who was blocked suddenly took a few steps, and the whole person appeared in front of April.
??!!
Claude?!
April's eyes widened, and standing there was the master of the Empire - Emperor Claude!
Her eyes were full of shock, and Claude suddenly raised his eyes to look at her!
April shrank back, thought for two seconds, and ran decisively.
