36 Going To Blue Crown Empire

After our date, Xinya and I silently arrived in our room and slept soundly, for the next few days everyone was preparing themselves to be in their best state, they went to their families and bid farewells and all in all it was a quite a situation, there were many who were anxious to prove themselves, some were nervous and a few of them were holding great pressure on their shoulders,

everyone was expected to come in their own carriages and persons with common birth were provided carriages by the Royal Family

I was seated in a carriage with Xinya, we requested a two person carriage, Sis Shan was seated in a carriage with few of her friends from noble clans who were coming to view the tornument

"Father and Mother are both coming to this year's gathering, I am honestly a bit nervous"

"Why?"

"I am not my sister, I can't win the gathering, I think I will lose my face"

"Xinya you are younger, in fact a lot younger than Sis Shan when she participated so don't overthink it and give it your best shot"

I could only console her, Sis Shan was 17 or 18 when she participated whereas Xinya is nearly 4 years younger

"Yi you must win the gathering for me"

"I'm not sure but I can only say I'll try my best"

"ok"

I took nearly ten days of travelling before reaching the outskirts of the continent

I was looking forward to face Nightbreak Empire's Crowned Prince, this guy seems the hot favorite to win this gathering, he was runner up in the last gathering so this guy is a problem

we arrived in a small town and there were representatives of Blue Crown Empire who were already waiting for our arrival

"Welcome contestants and Nobles of the Azure Empire, Blue Crown Empire Greets you"

this guy who was shouting this nonsense was none other than my dad

dad can you prepare a good one what sort of invitation is this, I know this shows the nation's sincerity but you are just not suited for the job

"Clan Head Lin our Azure Empire thanks you for such a wonderful welcome"

this guy was the Prime Minister of Azure Empire, the Emperor was coming a bit after a week, so this guy was the highest authority present

as expected two Prime Ministers, same exact flattery

I was not allowed to meet my dad, so I could only silently sit in my carriage

we were provided residence in a large hotel, Xinya and I shared a room

everyone was expected to share their room with a person

we have a meal and sleep, there were still a ten days till the basic round starts so we were naturally free to do anything, so I went over to Lin Clan along with Xinya only to find my sisters going to the palace along with all members who were selected for the gathering so I could only show Xinya a few places we visited earlier on when we toured the city.
