Chapter 784
Silvaria World Institute . . .
Hinagiku, Mikot, and Kurumi sat at one table . Meanwhile, Ikaros, Astrea, and Tohka stood by them, they watched the scene in front of them with blank looks . Only Flandre and Yoshino apparently had fun as they chased each other around while giggling like kids .
Hinagiku, Mikoto, and Kurumi exchanged a look . They looked at Fei Fei who was sitting with her sword, Night Elf in hand . She looked back at the three girls with a serious expression all while maintaining silence . The mood started turning heavy . . .
This isn't their villa, they were meeting in the headquarters of the faction led by Fei Fei, Fatal Forest, in any case, they were invited here by Fei Fei herself . Judging by her look, this matter appeared to be very serious .
Kotori is the first one to lift her head, she knitted her brows as she started talking with her red eyes trained on Fei Fei .
"Senpai, is your information trustworthy?"
Kotori's voice echoed in the room . The other girls listened intently . Since Shokuhou Misaki is absent, the leader of Ratatoskr, Kotori was the best candidate to lead and speak for the girls .
"Nn!"
Fei Fei nodded with a serious look . She looked at the black tea on the table with no intent of reaching out for it or drinking it . Kotori and Hinagiku furrowed their eyebrows further when they saw Fei Fei nodding .
"May I ask why? . . . "
It wasn't Kotori who followed up, it was the beauty with waist-length silky raven black hair, the girl with a single-red eye asked with a nonchalant look .
"According to what I know, though we might do flashy stunts now and then, the Board never saw it necessary to rein us in, right?"
Kurumi glanced at Fei Fei . She tilted her head and she gave her a radiant smile .
Fei Fei stopped breathing for a moment .
This is the same woman who looked like she was of a higher class compared to the Queen of this campus . A few days ago, Kurumi turned a male student who tried to pull his move on her into an unsightly mess .
Also, Fei Fei's getting the vibe that Kurumi is a very dangerous person hiding a really powerful ability behind her graceful looks .
Fei Fei inhaled deeply before she spoke .
"The elders presiding over the Board weren't sure how to deal with you guys . Your unknown origin made them delay the agenda time and time gain . But, our patriarch placed a vote of confidence on you guys and that's why most factions chose to stay out of your way . "
"However, the same couldn't be said of the situation this time . "
Fei Fei revealed a helpless look .
"The one stirring behind the scene isn't the Board, it's the royal family . "
"The Ailu imperial family!"
Fei Fei looked at all the girls here .
"We can only trace your first emergence to somewhere within the borders of our empire . As such, you were treated as citizens of the Ailu empire . That was reason enough for the royal family to extend a formal invitation . "
When a group of promising and talented individuals suddenly appears inside one's own empire, naturally, the imperial family wanted to get to know these "outstanding individuals" . That seemed legitimate enough on papers .
"Ara . . . "
Kurumi narrowed her eyes . She covered her ruby lips with her right hand .
"You're saying we must accept this invitation?"
Hinagiku frowned . She asked Fei Fei with a slightly troubled look .
"Can't we turn it down like usual?"
Fei Fei bitterly laughed .
"You can turn the invitation down . You guys are not subordinated under the imperial family, plus, no one can force a bunch of walking forces of nature like you girls to attend . I don't think the imperial family will do anything even if you reject this invitation . However, the problem lies with the fact that all the other factions from Baruba empire and Feya empire will be in attendance . "
"Imagine being the only ones who turned down the invitation when the 9 most powerful factions in the world, and the 3 imperial family will be at the gathering . What will they think of you?"
Kotori thought about this . Then, she leaned back against her chair while opening up another Chupa candy to put inside her mouth .
"Indeed, it would make us look rude to turn it down . . . "
"But . . . "
Hinagiku voiced her concern .
"Why did the imperial family invite us to a ball like that? We are not nobles, nor are we ministers or VIPs, we are just a bunch of students . . . "
"There lies the part I couldn't understand . "
Fei Fei looked around .
"The elder only told me to inform you girls . He wanted me to tell you guys that the imperial family ordered people to monitor you guys . Although explicit orders were passed down to stay low-key, guards are in place to know where you guys are at all times . . . "
"Oh? . . . "
Kotori asked Fei Fei .
"In other words, they already know Onii-san isn't around?"
When Kotori said Onii-san, the girls stopped doing whatever they were doing . Flandre-chan and Yoshino also got up from the ground . Ikaros also paid more attention to the conversation, her eyes were filled with longing and curiosity .
Fei Fei silently sighed .
She wondered just what kind of charm the guy has to make all these beautiful, talented, and excellent girls orbit around him . Why do they all love him so much? . . .
Fei Fei nodded .
"I am afraid they know about this already . "
"I see . . . "
Kotori stood up after a moment of silence .
"Fei Fei-senpai, thanks for your reminder . We will take note on this and if there's nothing else, this is where we say goodbye . "
"You're welcome . "
Fei Fei smiled at her .
"Yan, Hinagiku, Mikoto, and the others are all my friends . I hope my tiny advise can help you guys come up with solutions . Plus, I was ordered by the patriarch to tell you guys anyway, so you don't have to thank me!"
"Thank you, Fei Fei-nee . . . "
Hinagiku shook hands with Fei Fei . Kotori and Kurumi lowered their guards since Hinagiku appears to trust Fei Fei very much .
Hinagiku, Kotori, Kurumi, led Ikaros, Astrea, Tohka, Flandre, and Yoshino out of the room .
Fei Fei looked at the departing company with silence . When they disappeared from her vision, she sat back down on her seat .
She looked at the cups of tea which the girls didn't touch at all and she helplessly laughed .
When she mentioned Wu Yan, the girls immediately responded . Forget drinking the tea, they also forgot about the topic of the discussion, preferring to end it right there .
"What an unfathomable person . . . "
