Heidi’s eyes widened in disbelief, freezing her in place, and even her breathing came to a halt. “But I…,” she
stammered.
“Ms. Lister!” Remus held up the list in his hand and sneered. “I’m sorry, but your name is not on the list.”
“How is that possible!?” Heidi exclaimed.
“I wouldn’t know. All I know is that we must follow His Majesty’s requirements and check the list to allow entry,”
Remus explained.
Heidi’s expression turned extremely grim. Her face paled, and she broke out in a cold sweat despite the scorching
sun.
“Ms. Violet Grist,” Remus drawled, raising an eyebrow. “Your name is not on the list either!”
“What?” Violet protested. “What’s going on? I have an invitation letter. I—”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I’m sorry, Ms. Grist, but according to the royal rules, the invitation letter has no effect. The final reference is the
list,” Remus clarified.
“Well—”
“Heh, but I believe it would be a waste for you to enter, Ms. Grist. The Southeast Aciatic palace does not welcome
someone like you!” Remus taunted.
Violet gnashed her teeth, her eyes burning with anger.
However, with guards surrounding them and Remus’ prestigious status, she didn’t dare to provoke him. She had no
choice but to suppress her emotions and ask, “Why?”
“I heard what you said earlier.” Remus raised his voice. “Southeast Aciatic is a place of simple and honest people.
His Majesty advocates for equality, friendship, and unity! Your earlier words seem to contradict those values.”
Violet froze, standing under the scorching sun alongside Heidi like statues.
Keira glanced at Lina with a mischievous smile on her face as she whispered, “Isn’t this satisfying?”
“Huh?”
“Don’t you think so?” Keira’s joy couldn’t be contained. “Hehe, karma always finds its way. It’s true!”
Lina pursed her lips, her smile less evident. As Keira had said, what had just happened… did feel satisfying.
“Alright, students!” Remus addressed everyone, flashing a smile. “I’ll be your guide for today’s visit to the palace.
However, please be aware that there are certain areas where photography is not allowed. Your understanding is
appreciated.
“His Majesty has arranged a lunch for all of you, featuring authentic Southeast Aciatic to your expectations!” Remus
exclaimed, the students cheering enthusiastically, oblivious to the two statues. They quickly followed Remus.
Suddenly, Remus turned around and fixed his sly gaze on Gia. “You’re Ms. Gia Chapman, correct?”
Gia was taken aback, her heart sinking.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Ms. Chapman, your name is not on the list either. I’m afraid you’ll have to leave the group,” Remus announced.
“What?” Gia couldn’t believe it.
“I said your name is not on the list,” Remus repeated firmly.
“But why… Why didn’t you inform me earlier?”
“Because the latest version of the list just arrived,” Remus replied, flipping over the tablet to display the updated
list.
Indeed, Gia’s name was missing from it.
Gia bit her lip, her shoulders trembling. She had a sudden feeling that this was all planned behind the scenes…
She looked at Lina.
Lina also glanced at her, wanting to say something but ultimately remaining silent.
The two of them silently locked eyes for a moment, but Gia looked away first.
“Attention, everyone!” Remus clapped his hands. “You may now follow me inside!”
One by one, everyone passed by Gia. They were usually friendly, but not a single person spoke up on her behalf.
It was reminiscent of the morning at the hotel when no one stood up for Lina…
Gia gasped.
