Chapter 17 - Albert Winfield's arrival (Part-1)

When Prince Albert's arrival was announced, there was a commotion in the Central Hall.

There are three princes in the Histon empire: Albert Winfield, the eldest, and Philip Winfield, the middle, both sons of Queen Victoria, while Liam Winfield, the youngest, is the son of Queen Edith. There was a power struggle among the three Princes about who would inherit the Histon Empire's throne. As a result, the three Princes have begun to form alliances with noble families or specific empire powerhouses.

King Julius' firstborn, Prince Albert, has already completed Blemsnorth Academy, which admits only the noblest of nobility or those with remarkable magical powers. Only about 11% of Blemsnorth Academy students can complete their education. Anyone who has graduated from our academy has a bright future ahead of them, thanks to the low graduation rate. Consequently, he has the support of the vast majority of Noble families.

Thus, It's not only a party to celebrate the completion of graduation; it's a declaration that the three Princes' struggle for the kingdom has begun.

As Prince Albert entered the banquet hall,

A young man in his mid-twenties with blonde, straight hair pulls his hair back, revealing a handsome, glowing face. Bright aquamarine eyes glinted from their sockets as they looked over the Nobles who had been greeting him.

Prince Albert Winfield, the eldest son of King Julius Winfield. Despite his imposing stature, he stands gracefully among others.

Perhaps it's his calm disposition, or perhaps it's simply his demeanor, but there's something unfathomable about him. People, on the other hand, have a strong desire to learn more about him while also attempting to please him.

Following him, on his right is his younger brother, the second prince Philip Winfield, a slender young man in his early twenties with clumsy dreadlocks clinging to a gloomy face. Lidded violet eyes, set far within their sockets, looking with contempt at the group of nobles who were clinging around Albert. Albert is not the type of man who is all brawn and has no intellect, even if he is brave, Humble, and Sociable. Philip, on the other hand, is the polar opposite of him; he is a sneaky, arrogant, and remorseless individual who doesn't blink an eye before slaughtering his blood for his gain.

Lucas Crawford, the Crawford Family's youngest son, stands to the left of Prince Albert Winfield, his thin, gorgeous face shown by purple, short hair pulled back into a ponytail. With anxiousness, green eyes snuggled softly within their sockets. His dark stubble accentuates his cheeks and leaves a lasting impression of his good fortune in love, as anyone can see. He is the youngest son of General Lawrence Crawford, one of the Histon Kingdom's most powerful figures.

Aarav comments in a low tone, observing them and the abrupt shift in the attitude of all those noble families upon their arrival "So, that's the Prince's influence, huh? Look at those lofty nobles who were sitting with such regal air only a moment ago and are now rushing over to the princes to curry up some favors."

Despite his low tone, Alice was able to hear him and directed him to lean in closer as she remarked, "These Nobles are nothing but hypocrites. I advise you to avoid getting entangled in their affairs, especially with that blue-haired boy."

"Why?" Aarav was perplexed.

Alice added with a sigh, "To begin with, he is the Crawford family's youngest son, and the long-standing enmity between the Barrington and Crawford families is well-known. Secondly. He is a notorious womanizer in our Academy, and many women from noble families of lesser status have fallen victim to his philandering personality."

"How am I related to all of this?" "He's just some random affluent person who lives off his family and his decent looks." With a snarl, Aarav said.

"Did you say decent looks?" "Well, whatever helps you sleep at night!" Alice said, raising her brows.

"Look Triston, I asked you to keep your distance, especially from him since there's a word in the academy that he had a huge crush on Sierra Whitmore, and he tried to pursue her but she rejected him outright," she said.

"How come you're so proud of yourself?" "It's not like she's your girlfriend or anything," she says, her gaze falling on Aarav's smug look as he listened to Sierra's immediate rejection of Lucas Crawford. "Anyway, The idea is that Crawford is a spiteful person. So, there's a chance he'll decide to seek vengeance on her by targeting you. "Because you're inexplicably bound to her by a blood pact. Also, there is animosity between your families, so stay away from him at all costs."

"I suppose you're right." As he began to look into the information he had received, Aarav said.

After some time has passed,

Elenora suddenly jumps up and starts heading toward Albert's table to congratulate him.

Looking Eleanora reaches for the table at which Prince sits. She was followed by Adelia, Alice, and Aarav.
