Always remember one thing: Unless you are a Xyrin Emperor, never provoke Sandora.
Our princess's grand gesture took everyone by surprise. Ding Bai, who was lying on the ground, seemed to be choked, his groans cut off abruptly, and then he made unclear "gaga" sounds. I could imagine the horror in his heart. Initially, he only wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to the princess and make that sudden boy go away, but he hadn't expected that the princess would favor the unremarkable poor boy. Even more unexpected, the princess was so cunning and devious that with just a few words, she pushed him into the dreadful situation of being a political spy. Although protected by his family, Ding Bai was certain he wouldn't be punished seriously. Still, this disaster was inevitable for him.
Although Sandora wasn't a government official and was in a foreign land, a princess of an imperial country was not an ordinary person. Hosting her brought great pressure on Ding Bai. Furthermore, Sandora had been imposing subtle mind interference on everyone from the start, making Ding Bai completely clueless about how to respond.
Everyone around was also baffled. They had seen clearly what had just happened. Ding Bai hadn't committed any so-called political espionage; it was just Princess Sandora making things difficult. Yet, they couldn't help clarify the situation, as Sandora's words were true in every detail—though slightly embellished.
At this moment, the man with a military bearing started sweating and said with a forced smile, "This… Princess, I think there might be some misunderstanding. I can assure you Mr. Ding doesn't have any ill intentions. He is just…"
"Just considering my safety and doing his duty, right?" Sandora responded coldly, causing the man to shiver involuntarily under her presence. Gathering his courage, he persisted, "If Mr. Ding has offended you or your friends, I can apologize on his behalf, and I hope you…"
Sandora impatiently waved him off, cast a disdainful glance at Ding Bai on the ground, and said, "I don't like trouble, nor do I want any unpleasantness with your people. Since you can guarantee his intentions, I am willing to trust your attitude— I apologize for the disturbance caused just now."
Seeing Sandora finally yield, the man sighed in relief and promptly had Ding Bai taken away.
After this incident, the atmosphere of the entire banquet cooled significantly. No one dared to approach Sandora easily, fearing that another slip might get them accused of being anti-human. Eventually, the banquet was hastily concluded.
As for dancing… I originally thought it would be nice to get closer to Qianqian, considering I couldn't dance myself. But unfortunately, Sandora strongly opposed it. Likewise, Qianqian firmly prevented Sandora from being with me. In the end… they paired up to dance, leaving me with Pandora, eating snacks on the side. However, holding a Loli and watching two beautiful women dance right in front of me wasn't a bad experience, though their glares were a bit fierce...
The next day.
A short one-day holiday passed like this. The students were somewhat reluctant, but with the winter vacation approaching, they had something to look forward to. No matter how intense senior year was, holidays couldn't be entirely canceled for the New Year.
Entering the classroom today, I felt an unusual atmosphere. It seemed like everyone was staring at me, making me quite puzzled.
"What's wrong?" I curiously asked Fatty Zhao, who sat behind me.
Fatty Zhao looked at me as if seeing an alien, and said, "Are you still pretending to be dumb? A princess! Sandora is a princess! My God, am I dreaming?"
I finally understood why my classmates reacted this way. After yesterday's welcoming ceremony, Sandora's identity was revealed. With the well-informed Fatty Zhao around, the classmates surely knew by now that Sandora was the princess of Liska Kingdom. If Fatty Zhao's connections reached the central noble zone of the square, they might even know that Princess Sandora stood up for me at the banquet - even if they didn't, seeing her snuggling into my arms on her first day in this class was more convincing than Fatty Zhao's words.
"Chen Jun," Fatty Zhao suddenly said in a very serious tone, "Is this still Earth?"
"Go back to Mars!" I replied irritably.
"No kidding, I'm serious this time. How did you become friends with the princess? Dear God, that's a princess! I thought such characters only existed on TV, but here she is, alive and in front of us, and with you…"
"Stop talking nonsense!" I hurriedly interrupted. It hadn't been easy for Qianqian and Sandora to get along peacefully, and letting this Fatty Zhao spread rumors wouldn't be a good idea. "Sandora and I are just ordinary friends. If you spread rumors, be careful, I'll destroy you!"
"Ordinary friends?" Sun Yang, who sat in front of me, turned his head with a look of indignation. "Ordinary friends who throw themselves into your arms? Beast… you're the enemy of us single men!"
At this moment, a girl came over and said teasingly, "It seems we now know why the princess came to our ordinary school. I was wondering, even if a princess were to study in China, she should attend a state-level prestigious or noble school like Canglan. How could she come to such an ordinary school? So that's why…"
I say, your imagination is too wild, right?
Just then, the noisy class suddenly quieted down. Out of curiosity, I peeked past Sun Yang's sorrowful single face and saw Sandora walking into the classroom, holding Qianqian's hand.
I really couldn't understand these two. Sometimes they fought like cats and dogs, and other times they were as close as sisters. Maybe the saying that a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the ocean applied to more than just Earthlings.
At my suggestion, Sandora no longer brought bodyguards to school, and her Xyrin subordinates who came to China with her were all managed by the commanders of the Pandora Heavy Equipment Corps. After all, the 300 members were more familiar with this place. Just hope Sandora's subordinates wouldn't be trained into the next batch of unlicensed street vendors by them...
The appearance of two beauties at once had a huge impact, especially when one was a legendary figure like a princess, making it even more exaggerated. My classmates held their breath, feeling incredibly oppressed by Sandora's presence.
"Good day, everyone!" Sandora greeted cheerfully with a raised hand and a warm smile as she walked into the classroom.
It felt as if a ray of warm sunlight had entered the room, instantly easing the tension in my classmates' hearts.
Sandora's voice echoed in my mind, "I went back and thought about it. I decided to take your advice and get along well with these carbon-based life forms."
It seemed my persuasion did work. Sandora finally decided to truly integrate into this class rather than just play around with these carbon-based life. I felt relieved. For my classmates, facing a noble and amiable beauty was far better than a cold and aloof princess.
Sandora's greeting relaxed everyone, and they began greeting her in return. Some bold ones even joked with her, "Morning, our princess!"
Sandora, with a noble and gentle smile, walked over with Qianqian and then sat next to me, one on each side.
"Ah Jun," Qianqian leaned over and said, "How come I feel like Sandora has changed a lot, suddenly becoming more approachable?"
I gave a plausible reason, "She was always very easy to get along with, just that she didn't know how to interact with people normally because she had always lived in the palace."
"Right, Ah Jun," Qianqian suddenly remembered something with an excited smile, "There are still two weeks until winter vacation. Have you planned any trips yet?"
"To go where?" I shrugged. "We're in our senior year, and though it's a holiday, it's only two weeks. There's not much we can do. I'll just stay home with my sister."
"That's just your idea!" Qianqian pouted cutely, "Sister Chen Qian told me a few days ago that she plans to take Lili on a trip this year! I think—" she suddenly lowered her voice, leaned to my ear, and said, "How about you discuss with Lin Xue and get their organization to arrange a good tourist spot for us? This is our last holiday in high school. I don't want to waste it."
Travel during the holiday, huh? I pondered. In the past, I always spent the winter break at home with my sister since we didn't have any relatives to visit. Traveling seemed like a good idea.
"Alright!" I nodded, "Let's go on a trip this winter holiday!"
