The banquet began after the ceremony. His Majesty the King and the Duke had already departed, and Yu Zhizhi was accepting congratulations from many people, almost completely surrounded by Beastmen from various clans.
"Congratulations, Lord Nuo'er. Greenfield City has produced another SS Level female."
Hearing the middle-aged Beastman's congratulations, Noel leaned his back against a jade wall and lazily lifted his eyelids. "...Hn."
'This is so annoying.'
'On an important day like this, one you couldn't refuse, all the formalities were such a hassle.'
'I really don't get what all these people are so excited and happy about.'
Noel glanced at the Rabbit Clan female in the crowd, the sole guest of honor at this banquet. She didn't seem used to this kind of occasion, either.
Yu Zhizhi was so surrounded by Beastmen she couldn't get away.
She scanned the room.
Finally, she had no choice but to shoot Noel a pleading look for help.
