<span style="font-weight:400">Sarah nodded, and the group entered the mansion. They weren''t the first to arrive; many students arrived ahead of them. Well, it was more like they lived here. However, the three were still surprised.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Guys, you don''t have to be so tense," Gabriel noticed how Sarah and Jack fidgeted around.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You can say that. But do you know how many high-ranking nobles there are here!" From what Jack spotted, there were plenty! Probably barrels full of them! It wasn''t the only ones in their kingdom who came here. Nobles of different human kingdoms conversing with one another.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t you see how people from viscount or lower are also scared?" Jack pointed in a direction. Some students stood on the sidelines. Clearly, they were from lower noble families, trying their best not to stand out.
<span style="font-weight:400">The difference between nobles of a upper-rank vs a lower rank was heaven and earth. That was because one couldn''t handle the repercussions if they were targeted.
<span style="font-weight:400">"As long as you guys are with me or Gabriel, you''ll be fine," Carolyn assured. She was a princess. Nothing was going to happen to them as long as she was there.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You guys made it," Tristan and Maria spotted the group.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Senior Maria, Senior Tristan, the two of you are a match made in heaven!" Sarah couldn''t help butpliment. The two wore matching outfits.
<span style="font-weight:400">Tristan smiled, "Thank you so much. But you should thank Maria. She was the one who decided on the outfit. She was so cute."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Dear." Maria''s expression turned red. She turned to the others with a cough, "You guys can go around and mingle with the guests. Carolyn, we need you for something."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh? You do?" Carolyn looked at her friends. This was a predicament.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Go for it, Carolyn. We''ll stay out of trouble, unlike a certain fellow." Jack joked. There was only one person who he could be talking about. That caused Sarah to p his head,
<span style="font-weight:400">"You don''t have to worry about anything. Gabriel will watch over us."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thanks." Carolyn smiled as she headed off with Tristan and Maria. As they left, "You really wanted to see him here, right?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"You can''t lie to me, Carolyn. You''ve been out of ittely because of a certain fellow." Maria grinned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I don''t know what you''re talking about."
<span style="font-weight:400">Maria shook her head. This child.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see several students in my ss." Jack nced around and noticed some of his ssmates there.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Almost all humans came here," A voice spoke. It was none other than Krystal. She wore a ck dress. It was a little surprising for Gabriel and the two because of her cold attitude.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Really? Everyone came?" Gabriel was surprised.
<span style="font-weight:400">Krystal nodded, "Yes. The party is to increase connections." The main goal of this party was to allow nobles to form alliances with other nobles of a different kingdom.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Aren''t you going to do that as well, Krystal?" She was the heir to a grand duke.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Not interested." Krystal shook her head, "Also, where is Keith?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"He said he didn''t want toe." That caused Krystal to frown,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Can he do that?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"He can...I think?" The man had no care in the world. Krystal could only shake her head. While she was thinking about this,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Everyone!" Tristan spoke up, "Thank you all foring to this party. Please have a great time and be merry!" When that was said, everyone cheered.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ugh," Sarah started to groan.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What''s the matter?" Krystal noticed the contorted expression Sarah had.
<span style="font-weight:400">"The food,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"What about the food?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"It tastes bad."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" Krystal was a little dumbfounded. You care about the food? Gabriel and Jack tried the food. But when they did, they understood why she didn''t like it.
<span style="font-weight:400">They made the same expression!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Is it that bad?" Krystal didn''t understand. Tristan shouldn''t have prepared low-quality food. She tried the food and looked at them, "There''s nothing wrong with it." The taste was what anyone would expect. However, Jack shook his head,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith''s food is ten times better than this."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Keith''s food?
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah. Keith''s cooking is really delicious."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Indeed," Gabriel nodded and noted, "Shouldn''t they be having dinner right about now?" Now that he thought about it, it was time for dinner.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Darn it! What could he be cooking right now?!" Jack cursed.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m wondering if Arlo and Herrick are eating our portions," Gabriel muttered.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith is spacy. He might have made our portion by mistake."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"...." Krystal stared at them weirdly.
