The noble ladies were disappointed after seeing the images of Caesar and Chao. They originally thought they were extremely handsome princes, but they looked very ordinary. At most, their eyes were a little bright. And according to the legends, they didn't seem to be from a big family. What could two Sheobei people do? Compared with the mermaids, they were really lacking in class.
Zhebie's situation was only slightly better than Batti's. He was a palace guard, standing motionless on the side with a sword in his hand. However, this just fits his personality. No one pays attention to him, and he doesn't need to pay attention to others. Those noble ladies wouldn't even blink an eye at a small guard.
Of course, not everyone was not paying attention. Xiao Bote and Roye's eyes were rolling around as they looked at the strange arrangement of the three people. In fact, when they saw Batistuta guarding outside the door, it had already attracted their attention. These two people would not simply think that this was just Princess Clara's toy.
Of course, with Luo Ye's identity, he would be the focus wherever he went. These young mermaid nobles could put on their royal airs in front of others, but in front of the number one master of the sea dragon clan, they could only feel ashamed of themselves. Generally, people like them would often feel inferior because of their extreme arrogance.
Luo Ye's skills are still very powerful. He became the number one master of the sea dragon clan not only because of his dragon fighting spirit, but also because of his character. You must know that there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. For a warlike race like the dragon clan, without a certain reputation, challengers alone can kill people.
The royals around them all flattered Xiao Bote and Roye without exception, and the two of them also gave these people just the right amount of face.
Caesar and Chao mingled with some non-mermaid people. These people were important figures in the Mermaid Sea. Although they were not royals, they either had great political influence, ran large mercenary groups, or were extremely wealthy. Otherwise, they would not be qualified to come here. However, they were still somewhat incompatible with the nobles.
The nobles looked down on these nouveau riche, and these people looked down on these lucky guys. The two sides were clearly divided.
"How did that damn girl Yisa get in here? She didn't even want the invitation. She's trying to save face but is suffering!"
Kao can only complain when Yisa is not around. In front of Miss Yisa, Caesar has to behave himself. To be honest, compared with Elena, Caesar is more afraid of Yisa. Of course, Elena always considers everything. To have such a woman, life would be a blessing.
"Kao, you'd better be honest. God knows if Yisha will suddenly appear behind you. If she catches you and you dare to say bad things about her, even the sea god won't be able to save you."
"Tsk, Boss, do you think I'm afraid of her? Humph, I usually give in to her. A little girl can be slapped away with just one axe!"
Kao is naturally being arrogant now, and he can say whatever he wants since Yisa is not around.
"Look, here comes Coloriusio, and the show begins."
Caesar pointed to the door. Colorio came with his father Renault. Renault naturally went to the side of the ministers. A group of cunning guys were circling together and trying to talk to each other. It was possible that some of them wanted to propose to Princess Clara. Even if they were rejected, it would not be a big deal. If they met the right person, it would be like a pie in the sky.
As soon as the young nobles saw Colorio, they all smiled, of course, they were mocking. The deeds of this idiot had been widely circulated among the nobles, and everyone guessed that he would not show up to embarrass himself this time, but unexpectedly he did. The beauties also pointed at Colorio one by one, obviously feeling that this "scum" was far from their idol.
Colorius glanced at the entire hall, taking in everyone's reactions. He smiled calmly, less arrogant and conceited than before, and more restrained, and walked towards Caesar.
"Classmate Caesar, I didn't expect to see you here. I'm so happy."
Colorius smiled sincerely, which confused Caesar and Cao. Not to mention someone like him who had never suffered a loss, if anyone else had lost face like that, they would not do that again when they met. And Caesar actually found some sincerity in Colorius's eyes.
That's not right. Even if they succeed in their rebellion tonight, given this guy's personality, he will kill me first. How could he take the initiative to show goodwill?
Smoke bomb? It doesn't seem like it. He is not a big shot, so there is no need for that. Collorio's actions confused the two of them. Caesar certainly can't lose the upper hand in this situation.
"It's the invitation from Her Royal Highness the Princess. Her Royal Highness looks so happy, so there must be something happy going on."
"Haha, classmate Caesar, we can be said to have known each other for a long time. The previous misunderstanding has been cleared up. Even if you really want to investigate, you should ask His Highness Xiao Bote. Haha, we can have a good chat when we have time. My father is calling me, so excuse me."
Collorio lowered his voice and glanced at Xiao Bote before leaving very politely.
"... Could it be that this guy took the wrong medicine? He is simply a different person!"
Kao looked at this idiot noble in surprise. How come he suddenly became so human-like? And it didn't seem like he was pretending.
"Maybe he's about to become a prince, and his personality will undergo what's called a drastic change. It has nothing to do with us."
Caesar responded calmly. He focused his attention on the entire hall, but didn't find any unusual people. Could it be that the other party really wanted to attack the royal city? Even if there were no city guards, the sea people were different from humans, especially in the Mermaid Royal City. Almost everyone was a magician, and they would be scared of everything when they rushed in. Moreover, once the large army arrived, the undead would have no chance of winning.
At this time, His Majesty Aries and the Queen arrived, surrounded by three angelic girls, the three pearls of the sea people, Princess Clara, Princess Elena, and Miss Isabel. Queen Christina was beaming with joy as she enjoyed the festive atmosphere, and Aries was also smiling.
Everyone congratulated Her Majesty the Queen, and the atmosphere reached a climax for a moment, and the court magicians began their splendid magic show. Perhaps the only place that can use magic as an entertainment tool is the Mermaid King City in the capital of magicians.
Clara is absolutely dressed up today. Even her mother, the protagonist, is not as glamorous as her. Everyone knows this. The princess has reached adulthood and is old enough to get married. Today is the queen's birthday, and it is also a declaration to everyone that the princess has come of age.
All the young people's eyes were fixed on Clara. In comparison, Alina and Isabel were dressed a little more low-key. After all, today was the mermaids' festival, and they couldn't do anything to steal the limelight.
Now it was time to present their respective gifts, and it was also the time for each major family to demonstrate its financial strength. The etiquette officer presented the gifts in order, and according to convention, of course, the smaller nobles from various places presented their gifts first, and the better ones were always presented at the end.
…
"The Lord and Lady of Kara City congratulate Her Majesty the Queen on her birthday and present her with one hundred first-grade red pearls and fifty kilograms of first-grade jadeite."
Gradually, the specifications of the gifts became higher and higher, and the status of the people who presented the gifts became higher and higher. No one wanted to make His Majesty Aries unhappy.
Caesar secretly clicked his tongue, he finally understood the benefits of being an emperor, there was no need to work, he could become a super rich man just by celebrating his birthday. Even in the mineral-rich seabed, such high-standard jewelry was very expensive. If it were placed in human society, it would be even more amazing, as most races share a common love for beautiful things.
"The Lord and his wife congratulate Her Majesty the Queen on her birthday and present ten top-quality night-shining pearls, ten pieces of human tribute ceramics, and ten giant seahorse kings."
"Kao, ...will we be kicked out if we don't bring any gifts?"
"Boss, my old man helped me prepare it."
Kao shrugged innocently, leaving Caesar speechless and looking up at the sky. He was so unlucky, but if he didn't give it, he didn't give it. With his current wealth, he couldn't give it even if he wanted to. It can be said that being poor is not the most terrible thing. Being heavily in debt like him is the most headache. But there is a saying that too much debt does not weigh people down, and it is true. Now he doesn't care much about it.
...God knows whether Queen Christina still remembers him. It's better for her to forget him...Why does Clara keep looking here? Caesar just wants to hide now.
"Prince Kao of the Sheobei tribe congratulates Her Majesty the Queen on her birthday and presents her with fifty top-grade multicolored night-shining pearls, one hundred pieces of high-quality anti-magic full-body armor, and one hundred first-grade magic crystals."
This gift list made Ye, the etiquette officer of the Taote tribe, dumbfounded. The Sheou tribe was really amazing in recent years. They could give such gifts. The five-colored night pearls were one thing, after all, the Sheou tribe was rich in such things. Five-colored ones were the best for other races, but they were nothing for them. However, one hundred pieces of fine anti-magic armor were a big deal. You should know that the water-dividing anti-magic armor was extremely difficult to make, and the equipment of the sea tribe was really backward. Compared with humans, there was a world of difference. Humans had already reached the point where they pursued beauty while pursuing strength, while the sea tribe trusted their own strength too much. In this regard, they had always lagged behind, and high-quality armor was rare. Humans had always maintained a monopoly in this regard, and the human race had reached a consensus on this point. Equipment could be sold, but technology could not be sold, so ordinary sea tribes could not afford it at all. Therefore, there was nothing Caesar could do about his frequent explosions of clothes, as he could not afford good armor with that little money.
