The students couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration as they looked at Lina, a mix of confusion and astonishment
on their faces.
“T-This is too precious!” Lina finally calmed her pounding heart. “How can I wear this?”
“But to enter the palace, you must wear a long blouse and a long skirt to cover your arms and legs. It’s a royal
rule!”
“Sir, please find me an ordinary set of clothes,” Lina looked at her classmates. “Something like what they’re
wearing…”
“Oh.” Remus hesitated for a moment but continued, undeterred. “The royal family specially prepares the clothing
they’re wearing for visiting dignitaries. It’s made uniformly. But since you arrived a bit later and all the clothes have
been distributed, we can only ask you to wear this.”
Lina felt a little bewildered.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNevertheless, she would have to follow their rules if she wanted to enter the palace. Her T-shirt and jeans were
indeed inappropriate.
Lina nodded and carefully carried the clothes, entering the adjacent dressing room guided by the maids as if
embarking on a pilgrimage.
The remaining people exchanged glances, their doubts unspoken.
On the other hand, Remus took the initiative to explain to everyone, “You’ve come a long way from Jangasas and
may not be very familiar with our Southeast Aciatic customs. The palace is a forbidden place and not open to
everyone.
“If today’s number of visitors does not match the list, His Majesty will blame us for our lack of efficiency in our work!
Sending a convoy to pick up Ms. Jenner is our way of showing royal hospitality and His Majesty’s enthusiasm. He
said that not a single visitor should be missing!”
The students smiled, accepting this explanation.
Although Southeast Aciatic was traditional and conservative, it was also hospitable. This actually showcased the
grandeur of the royal family.
While most could understand, a few individuals felt extremely uncomfortable and stared at the dressing room with
gloomy expressions.
When Lina emerged from the dressing room, having changed into new clothes, her classmates’ eyes lit up.
Keira excitedly ran over and circled her several times. “Lina, you look so beautiful! When you put on this dress, you
look like a princess!”
“Hah, a princess?” a sharp voice interjected. “No matter what, you can’t change your poor appearance. Even if you
wear glass slippers!”
“Violet, can’t you hold your tongue?” Keira retorted.
“Keira, you—”
“Stop arguing! Aren’t you embarrassed?” Heidi threw them a stern look, feeling annoyed herself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe remembered how other students would always try to please her, giving her gift cards and even cash openly
and in secret, just hoping she would pass them for the final exam. On the other hand, Lina assumed superiority and
didn’t give her anything!
Not receiving anything would have been fine, but Lina’s grades were still so good that there was no flaw to criticize!
Heidi had purposely tried to find fault on the way and during the visit to the palace. She had even tried to make
Lina’s experience difficult. But she had failed once again!
She had assumed Lina wouldn’t get to come, but what happened? A royal convoy picked up Lina, and she was even
wearing the princess’ old clothes!
Heidi gritted her teeth in anger but couldn’t explode in front of so many people. She planned to find an opportunity
to give Lina a hard time once they were inside the palace.
“Alright, now that everyone’s here.” Heidi forced a smile. “Let’s go in and learn about the architectural art of the
palace!”
“Ms. Lister, please hold on!”
Just then, Remus stood in front of everyone with the guards. He maintained a polite smile on his face, but his eyes
were cold.
“Sorry, Ms. Lister, I oversee the palace. I’ll take the students inside next, so we don’t need you to lead the group!”
