Chapter 52

Even though wearing the exact same school uniform as everyone else, Prince Carloy appears more gallant than others. His dazzling golden hair, deep blue eyes, and a handsome face adorned with a gentle smile make him the immediate center of attention upon entering the cafeteria.

His tall stature inevitably draws the discreet glances of noble maidens, but due to the need for nobility to maintain composure, they must suppress their excitement and strive to appear calm. However, peasant girls have no such rigid rules to follow. They gaze excitedly at Prince Carloy, unable to contain their blushes and racing hearts, thinking that he is the real-life Prince Charming in every girl's heart.

Tall, handsome, and holding a prominent position – marrying Prince Carloy would undoubtedly make any girl the happiest in the world.

In contrast to the approachable Prince Carloy, the Duke's daughter standing by his side wears a calm expression. Her eye-catching silver hair seems to shimmer and glow, and her tall, slender figure exudes an aura of aloofness.

Her eyes, resembling amethysts, appear to be the most precious treasures in the world. However, the indifference in her gaze creates an intimidating aura, deterring anyone from approaching.

The Duke's daughter's manners are textbook-perfect, and her stunning appearance is like a rose with thorns. With an elite background and extraordinary abilities, she outshines even Prince Carloy. This makes her the object of admiration for both male and female noble students.

As a result, people feel awe and hesitation, unwilling to provoke her even unintentionally.

When Prince Carloy and Miss Barlen appear together, the impact is akin to a bomb exploding on the spot, causing everyone to involuntarily focus their gaze on the two, unwilling to miss even a second.

Of course, this doesn't include the infuriated Salin, who pays no attention to her surroundings. She focuses all her attention on Ifia.

She detests beautiful women, especially outstanding beauties like Ifia. At just one glance, she feels uncomfortable all over, wishing she could disfigure that face.

"Don't think you can conceal anything by staying silent. I've seen plenty of dirty commoners like you! It's disgusting to even be in the same academy as you. Hurry up and get out of Pulis Academy."

Salin redirects her aggression straight at Ifia, leaving Ifia feeling utterly speechless and frustrated.

What does this matter have to do with her from beginning to end???

She's just an ordinary bystander!

Even if Irene wants to pull her into this mess, did she bother asking for her opinion in advance?

"To the student named Salin, first of all, this matter has nothing to do with me. Secondly, did I ever say I'm rich? Finally, your sarcastic and scornful appearance truly tarnishes the face of nobility. I apologize to your etiquette teacher… Besides, is Pulis Academy your family's property? Who are you to tell anyone to leave? I won't leave, what can you do about it!"

Ifia also notices the arrival of Amelia. She suppresses the urge to use profanity and instead speaks with more refined language.

Stay calm, stay calm. She needs to maintain her composure in front of Amelia!

However, while Ifia remains composed, Salin is incredulously staring at her. She extends a trembling finger towards Ifia, seemingly overwhelmed by Ifia's words. Her face turns deep red, and she forcefully breathes, causing her chest to heave dramatically, as if she's about to faint from anger at any moment.

"A mere commoner dares to speak to me like this, truly unreasonable!"

While Salin speaks, she feels Daphne pulling her arm, trying to stop her from continuing. However, Salin, consumed by anger, doesn't care about anything at this point. She just wants to teach this audacious commoner a severe lesson.

In her opinion, common pests should stay in the sewage forever, never deserving to crawl out and mingle with humans. Moreover, this commoner looks pretty. Surely, she aims to seduce nobles with her appearance, attempting to change her social class. Salin thinks those nobles' children who only care about looks are blind. Instead of accepting someone as prestigious as her, they insist on associating with lowly commoners.

The more she thinks about it, the angrier Salin becomes. She doesn't hold back her words: "Pulis Academy allows you commoners to enroll out of pity, but don't even think about obtaining equal rights with us nobles, whether within the academy or outside. You are all destined to be lowly slaves under our rule."

Within the noble groups of Pulis Academy, there exists an extreme faction that despises commoners, and Salin happens to be a member. Therefore, her disdain is displayed openly. Even when speaking in front of these commoners, Salin has no reservations. Even though these lowly commoners show faces full of anger, there's nothing they can do to harm her. Watching their angry but helpless expressions satisfies Salin's vanity.

"Shut up!"

Just as Salin intends to continue insulting Ifia, a voice full of anger resounds. When Salin looks up, she immediately sees Prince Carloy standing not far away, wearing an angry expression.

Pr…Prince Carloy!

When did the prince arrive, and why didn't anyone warn her?

Like many noble daughters, including Salin, she admires the prince. Now, revealing her negative side in front of Prince Carloy makes Salin suddenly want to cover her face and escape.

"Your remarks are incorrect. Whether nobles or commoners, all are citizens of the Sith Empire. How can you describe them as lowly? This young lady, I urge you to reflect on your unjust attitude and apologize to the commoner students present."

Prince Carloy's words are stern and righteous, leaving the commoner students present deeply moved and speechless. Watching Prince Carloy's towering figure, they feel a reliable sense of security. He is the heir to the throne of their Sith Empire. It is foreseeable that once Prince Carloy ascends the throne, he will surely ensure the well-being and happiness of the empire's citizens.

However, being scolded by the admired prince makes Salin feel extremely wronged. She quickly tries to justify herself.

"My Lord Prince, I was just teaching this ignorant commoner a lesson. She was questioning my noble upbringing!"

"Even so, you cannot openly criticize all commoners. This does go against the etiquette and demeanor expected of nobles. As nobility, one should possess a calm and broad-minded attitude, rather than being petty."

Nevertheless, Prince Carloy does not accept the justification. With this statement, many aristocrats who were watching nod in agreement. They also feel that Salin is too extreme. Her outspokenness doesn't match noble behavior. Instead, it resembles a market scold.

Ifia watches as Prince Carloy, who started with a firm stance, now seems to be compromising, appearing fair but actually leaning towards the nobility. Salin still owes an apology to all the commoner students present! Why isn't this mentioned? Moreover, does Salin not even have the right to question? It seems that commoners in this world have it tough!

Ifia just wanted to roll her eyes at Carloy, but due to Amelia having already approached her, Ifia had to endure!

Maintain composure!!!

"Ifia, aren't you angry?"

However, just as Ifia was reciting the mantra of endurance, Amelia suddenly spoke up.

Her purple eyes sparkled with captivating light, and when she looked over seriously, it forced people to speak the truth.

Feeling Amelia's concern, Ifia didn't conceal her feelings, vigorously nodding, "I'm very angry, but as a commoner, I can't do anything to the nobles."

"Then leave it to me!"

After saying this, while Ifia hadn't reacted, Amelia directly reached for Ifia's tray, then stepped forward to Salin, lifting her hand gracefully and slowly.

With a 'splash,' the peculiar Eastern dish poured directly onto Salin's face.
