Social hierarchy
"So, he eventually managed to spell your last name correctly." Amanda beamed, stuffing her mouth with food. "Good job, Ryan; you've raised our Erou student's heads high. But where did Damion go?"
"He probably went to train or eat somewhere else after declaring he would kill Ryan," Tracy said. She wasn't particularly concerned, occasionally tapping on her phone.
Soon after she said that two girls suddenly came to their dining table and whispered in Amanda and Tracy's ears.
The princess was giving them a pass to dine at the royal table with her to keep her company.
The two nodded as they were waiting for this invitation already.
But it took quite a while since not everyone could become the princess' friend. They would need a sufficiently high status and approval from the castle.
But since they're not from Dorigan, their social hierarchy depended on either how rich they were or how strong their dad was.
