Only Avion and Kalin were the only ones in the line that noticed this.
The host was just about to welcome Princess Alisera and give her the chance to speak, But when they saw that the princess had someone linked to her arms, they were momentarily stupefied.
The host lost his chance and just began the party since Princess Alisera went straight into the crowd.
The first thing that should've happened was for the nobles to line up and personally have a talk with the princess as they give their welcome gifts to her. For the Idiotic Rivals who were capable enough to have the opportunity to court Princess Alisera, this was their chance to show off their charisma.
They would not literally line up but just wait for their turn. From the higher noble to the lowest ranking. So this was fine.
Although Van was too self-conscious that would make him too awkward while Jhin had no self-awareness at all that makes the girls annoyed with him, they had to do it out of rivalry and also because they just developed a crush on the princess.
However, something unexpected happened. As soon as the royal couple came out of the shadows, the lights were reflected on their golden crowns and that was the last factor for the nobles to know that these two were definitely the King and Queen of Karan Kingdom!
They have to greet them first but they just remembered that Princess Alisera just showed something baffling. No, not her looks, but the way she was clinging onto some stranger.
They had heard rumors of how pampered the princess was. No matter how much the King and Queen wanted this to stay under the carpet, it was eventually revealed to the nobles.
If the King and Queen were to give special attention to these rumors, that action alone will indirectly say that the rumors were real. But since they were ignoring it, the rumors stayed as rumors.
However, it seemed like that rumor was about to reveal itself at that party. In the worst possible scenario.
The host had already greeted the King and Queen from the start when the hall opened its doors. He was ordered not to give them any attention and he obliged without any words. But when he saw that Princess Alisera just came out of the door with a man linked to her arms, he almost fainted on the spot!
Everyone was stunned and scared at what was happening. Their eyes were towards the royalties, the King and Queen who were following Princess Alisera. They didn't notice the two princes and the Memi behind.
Each of them had their sight only in front of them. Each with different expressions. The contrast between their expression was too noticeable as if it was scripted.
Only Avion was the one who ran in the hall with the mountain of food on his plate while trying to follow Kalin who was dancing as if his life depends on his moves.
Both Jhin and Van was about to follow Kalin but was intervened by a mountain of food, no, by a handsome stranger that overtook them in following their nemesis. But before they continue, they were pushed aside.
"Hey...-!" Jhin was about to angrily shout but stopped when they saw that the beautiful princess was the one that pushed them aside. And when they saw who was following the princess, they felt so little. They became grateful to the princess for pushing them aside so that they wouldn't be able to obstruct the path of these two behemoths who were getting angrier as seconds passed by.
The faster they walked, the faster the ones who were following them would also and then the whole circle. Meaning, the circle was getting faster and faster while the King and Queen were getting angrier by what was happening.
At first, they thought that their daughter would stop at any moment, They couldn't just shout at such a formal party. Even though their strides were getting faster, it was still light and smooth to look at. yet, even after this, they were oblivious to the expressions they were having that were scaring the masses.
Memi was getting tired of following Prince Harold since she was wearing high heels behind the dress and it was hard to keep up with the speed.
'Why are they walking so fast!? Where are they even going?!' she complained internally.
With, at least, meters as a gap between each of them, they were able to encircle the crowd of nobles. Numui, the father of Kalin was about to cry about what he was doing. It was both stupid and amusing to look at.
It was as if Kalin was participating in a dance competition with all his passion. Eventually, he was profusely sweating and emitting heat while Avion just finished his plate with lightning speed. He was in ecstasy as he reverts his body to when he was hungry.
No one noticed this but the food that Avion took earlier came back out of thin air and with one whole spin of the circle, Avion will take the food again run to catch up.
Both princes had yet to give up, their speed was getting faster and faster. Although the King and Queen still looked smooth as they walked, it was with an incredible speed the two just couldn't compare!
Their worried faces were becoming worse and worse. Later did they only found out why the King and Queen were getting faster and faster.
After a few encirclements, the flux of the spin of the circle only stopped when Avion had his fifth fill and stood to the side to rest;
"I'm tired..." he sighed with relief. He no longer reverted his body and has his belly filled.
That was the only time Princess Alisera caught up to him and so did the others who were following whom.
"Avion."
"Alisera!"
"King and Queen of Karan."
"Prince Harold."
When they were finally closed enough to call out to each other, the King and Queen couldn't hold back their accumulating anger and had restrained shouts. The two princes hurried up but they were too late. Memi was so determined that she still hadn't noticed the King and Queen and only had her sight on Prince Harold while sensing the supportive gaze of her mother, which in fact, was non-existent. Only after she called onto the prince that she noticed.
Meanwhile, Kalin was still dancing, uncaring of what was happening, but soon, his father forcefully took him away. Seeing this, Avion was silently laughing.
Princess Allisera then looked at the angry behemoths, she was first surprised but soon, had a big smiled, "Papa, Mama!" she shouted like a child who missed her parents.
"You...!" the King and Queen who was raging stopped when they heard this, "Ah, my daughter..." their flaming eyes then turned to something sweet after one look at their daughter's smile.
