Chapter 208 (1/2)

The Forgotten One (3)

No, definitely not. It was all the more reason to think he was right. Wasn’t it great to have someone voluntarily pick you up!

Reason? I don’t give a damn about any ‘reason’!!

And just like that, the three of them (with a spirit) smoothly entered the palace in the royal carriage. They were even escorted to the ballroom where the ceremony was held.

When Ye Lang was about to enter the ballroom, it wasn’t too late, nor was it early. There was still some time before the ceremony began.

Other than the royals, there were officials and other peasants outside sat in different areas. Even the huge parade grounds outside the palace were filled with people. Most of the attendees were there.

This ballroom, on the other hand, was where all the high-level officials and the most powerful and influential aristocrats gathered. Other than the royals’ tables, this was the most powerful, most decorated area of all!

To start the ceremony, the empress dowager and the emperor would, through a special alchemy tool, talk to all the people of Dragon City. That would be the moment the party began across the lands.

Since there was still time, and they didn’t see Princess Longji, Ye Lang started to look for a seat, and maybe some appetizers.

“You mean lady!!”

Thud!

The spirit girl dropped her things on the floor. This voice was one Ye Lang didn’t want to hear at all. In fact, he hated this voice.

Only one person would call her ‘mean lady’-- and that was the little princess. You don’t need to ask why she was there, this was her territory!

“You’re so annoying!” said Ye Lang, very honestly expressing his feelings.

“...No, YOU’RE annoying. You mean lady, give me my baby back!!” shrieked the little princess.

“This is irritating! As I said, I can pay you back, and YOU said no! Alright, let me tell you this, I’ll give you another one next year. So stop annoying me!!” frowned Ye Lang, as if he was disgusted.

Was that a look of disgust? Who dares look at me like that, you vile woman…

The little princess was very upset. This was the first time anyone had looked at her liked that. People have showered her with love all her life. Everyone liked her. No one had hated her like this!

“Next year... Will you really give me one?” asked the little princess, peering suspiciously at the spirit girl.

“Relax, even if I can’t visit, I will send someone to bring the plant over!!” Ye Lang waved, then continue looking for food. However, the spirit girl was only looking. She didn’t eat. Instead, she put them in her pocket.

Obviously, this was because Ye Lang wanted to eat and the spirit couldn’t.

The little princess looked at the spirit girl, a little weirded out. Why did this mean lady not eat? And even if she had to pack, she should’ve at least taken a few bites here!

After watching her for a moment, the little princess left. She didn’t want to waste time with the spirit girl. Her siblings were everywhere in the ballroom, it would be too easy to find someone that would shower her with love.

Upon making her appearance and greeting everyone, the empress dowager noticed the spirit girl in a corner. “Fair maiden, come. Let me introduce you to my son.”

“Oh…” grunted the spirit girl, then walked over.
