At midnight, a huge cadenza lit up over the Academy Square, and the power of magic rendered the entire Noble Academy in a purple and red color.
The four competitions have ended, and when the judges with the winners walked up to the huge altar, Tang Yi and Xiaoxue, Christina, Vincent and others were sitting on the grass eating, the cake was full of Christina's small mouth, and Lady Catherine took out a handkerchief and gently wiped it for her.
"We must be number one," she raised her hand confidently, but Lady Catherine smiled and did not answer, and Vincent said, "Not necessarily." ” "Why, we performed so well, it was clearly there, and everyone applauded so loudly.
Mom, did you say yes?"
"Kerna's performance will always be the best in my eyes."
"Mom can't be so tricky."
Waving his hand in protest, the list of winners in the art category was already read out on the stage.
Sure enough, Tang Yi and others' programs ranked second, and the first was the dance that belonged to Janet and others with the most nobles who participated, and everyone applauded warmly to congratulate them, except for the noisy Christina, no one applauded, which made Tang Yiwei a little unaccustomed.
In the previous world, once such a scene of disparity between strength and result appeared, the applause was absolutely spectacular, but after all, this was the world of the nobility, and as soon as the result came out, the reasons were clear to each other, and it was not a shock in any way.
Due to the resentment of the relationship, the angry little girl pulled Tang Yi and did not allow him to come on stage to accept the award, and also mobilized Vincent to protest.
At this moment, the sacrificial platform where the awards were presented was full of the light of the magic circle, and the faint shadows of the goddess of spring and the god of agriculture appeared in the air.
In this situation, Vincent got up with a smile, no matter what, after all, he couldn't be too stingy.
Moments later, a supposedly pre-arranged "mystery presenter" slowly stepped onto the altar.
Dressed in a tall aristocratic outfit, it was a tall young man with an imperial atmosphere.
Freret.
Atroka, first in line to the throne of the Empire.
In the grand pomp and grand introduction, Tang Yi also recognized him as the man who toasted to him at Kina's birthday banquet that day, and then, more information came into his mind from the conversations of others.
As the first prince of the empire, he is also the most outstanding of the three sons of the old emperor, he has an amazing mind and martial arts talent since he was a child, not only has profound attainments in the art of war and alchemy, but not long ago he passed the assessment of the eighth-order martial artist in the swordsman guild at the age of twenty-three, and accepted the canonization of the old emperor last summer and became the crown prince of Atroka officially recognized by the Guangshen Palace.
At the same time that such information entered Tang Yi's cognition, he naturally had no way of knowing that the other party had coveted Xiaoxue, and on that stage, Freette also began to award expensive prizes to the winners.
The sharp swords inlaid with precious magic crystals, the intricate alchemy products, and the ancient scrolls that have been handed down for a long time can all appear on this podium, all of which are rare treasures of great value.
Maintaining a solemn bearing, the noble man handed the prize to everyone on the stage in turn, but when it was presented to Vincent, he deliberately jumped over, and this small anomaly immediately caused a whisper below, and the dean standing aside clearly reminded the crown prince of the omission, but the other party ignored it.
"Actually, maybe I'm not qualified to present this prize, but in a sense, maybe it's the most appropriate thing" After awarding the prizes of the other eleven winners, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned his head, put his hand on the last treasure, and slowly said these words, the voice was low and deep, and as the amplification circle scattered out, in an instant, there was silence below.
Everyone knows what's going to happen.
Smiling faintly at the audience, he let out a long breath, then unsheathed the saber hanging from his waist, turned and respectfully handed it to Vincent.
Suddenly, the entire square was in an uproar.
The sword unwinding ceremony, which is the highest etiquette among the nobles, will never appear in public unless it is in front of someone who is enough to give his life.
Now the prince of a country actually makes such a courtesy to a person dressed as a commoner, what kind of identity is this person?
The next moment, their questions were answered.
"I have heard about you from my father, and regardless of the attitude of others, Frerett is proud of your brother."
No matter how brilliant the stars of that night were, in the end they were overshadowed by the real appearance of the "First Prince of the Empire", and the aristocracy certainly appreciated art, but in the face of matters of power, the so-called art became insignificant.
"Vincent's mother, who was a spiritual mage before falling in love with my brother and later had an older brother's child, was condemned as a heretic due to the Great Purge of the Temple of Light.
At that time, when his father was dying and the power of the imperial capital was at its most intense, his brother was too late to protect himself, and he didn't care about it at all.
However, Vincent's mother tried her best to escape from the pursuit of the Light God Palace, but her magic power was also abolished, and she was more vulnerable than ordinary people.
At that time, when the entire continent was hunting for the spirit mage, she gave birth to Vincent on the run, and was found again by the people of the Light God Palace three years later, and it was confirmed that she was dead during that hunt.
It is impossible to know how Vincent survived, but he went to the imperial capital a few years ago, and his brother confirmed his identity.
Although the Light God Palace is now mostly blind to such things, it is still impossible to truly officially admit him, and I can't imagine that Frevice would have the courage to do such a thing."
This was the message I had heard from Mrs.
Catherine afterwards.
However, apart from the occasional greeting after the spring festival, he had not had much contact with Vincent, not because he was angry that he had been deceived.
The reason is that after his identity was revealed, Teacher Barbara directly kicked him out of the Potions class, and with the identity of a prince, he was occasionally seen in the academy, he was also surrounded by a large group of noble men and women, and when they greeted each other, Tang Yi felt that he was in the limelight, and Christina was quite angry about being deceived, and cursed and swore that he would not pay attention to him again.
Starting from the second day of the spring festival, Tang Yi would teach Christina the piano every afternoon, but because the little girl's sense of musicality was too poor, and the relationship with Tang Yi was too intimate, she would occasionally go in another strange direction in the chat "Al, you see the weather is good outside, the clouds are so white, the sky is so wide, it's almost summer.
Al, what is the end of the sea on the other side of the clouds?"
"How do I know" "You can imagine that."
"Well, there's no end."
"How can there be something without an end, don't be allowed to be tricky like this" "Because the earth is round, if you go all the way along the sea, you will come back again."

"How is that possible?"
"Well, Kerna, you've seen the ship go out to sea, and when the ship goes below the horizon, which part of the ship disappears first?"
"But if the earth is round, then why do I feel it everywhere I feel the earth underneath, you are not right."
"Because the earth has a gravitational pull."
"What is gravity?"
"Gravitational force is" In this way, every day she told her some common sense of physics in a joking way, and occasionally Mrs.
Catherine would come over with hot tea for the two of them, and when she listened to it interestingly, she would also interject a few words beside her, and time passed in the small talk of a match, and such a teacher should be leisurely.
After returning home, he performed with Eve as usual in the evening.
In fact, in the current situation, there is no need to make money from street performances, and the main reason for continuing is to take care of Eve's performances.
After the spring festival, although his status was only passed down among certain nobles, such performances as magic spread, and his daily income increased a lot.
But those who watched the show here naturally did not associate his identity with the performer of the legendary noble academy.
Several things happened in March, the first of which was to see the old man named Bacus again.
One night he suddenly appeared on the street where Tang Yi was performing on the same seven-string harp, which was obviously much more accomplished than Eve, singing simple poems in praise of heroes in his vicissitudes of life, followed by popular stories.
Troubadours have always been loved by the common people, and although the situation here is not as warm as Tang Yi's, it is generally passable.
According to him, there is nothing to do at the moment, so he has to perform here to earn some travel expenses.
Because he liked his story, occasionally Tang Yi would invite him to his house for dinner, and in a short time, Bacchus and Eve, who also played the harp, also became familiar with each other, and occasionally taught Eve some harp playing techniques in his spare time.
When Eve wanted to worship him as a teacher, he hurriedly refused.
"Where, where, it's just some small tricks, Miss Eve's harp is very innovative in some places, and I have benefited a lot from the old man, just communicating with each other, which can be called a master and apprentice, deserved, deserved" Having said that, but since then, the old man has become Eve's actual teacher, and the professor of the harp has begun to become systematic, Eve has talent and enthusiasm for the performance of the harp, and within a few days, Tang Yi heard obvious progress from her piano sound, although it is still not good, but compared to before, it is undoubtedly much better.
The second event is about Randle's departure, the only normal child in Eve's family, who was originally sick, and after being cured, he was sent to school by Eve and became the only hope for the family, and the boy named Sammy was also beaten to death because of his tuition fees at the beginning of the year.
It was under these circumstances that the boy became acquainted with another group of aristocratic boys, who, because he was also clever himself, was promised to be accepted as a servant, but on the condition that he had to distance himself from the crippled family, so in the early morning of that day, the boy left the house after arguing and taunting Eve and the others, and was never seen again.
Knowing that this incident was in the evening of that day, when he returned home, Tang Yi heard Eve call a few children outside the door to come back for dinner: "Remember to look for Randle, he must not dare to come back at school, you tell him, just come back, no one said him" "Sister Eve, he's said something like that" "Don't talk nonsense, what Randle said was just a momentary anger, think clearly and he'll come back, go find him, ah" "What a momentary angry talk, Sister Eve, he thinks we are a burden, he will definitely drag him down, sister, you have paid so much for him, even Sammy Sami is dead" The child outside the door said and cried, but the next moment, the words were interrupted by Eve.
"Don't say that about Randle, he, he," the room fell silent, and after a few moments, the woman in the soap-colored cloak came out of the hut and said to the children, "You guys go to dinner first, I-I'll go look for him" Under the tearful gaze of several children, the thin figure disappeared into the evening crowd, and did not return when the sun was setting and preparing for the performance.
At night, when the cool breeze began to blow, Tang Yi put on a long coat and went to Randle's school, passing by a beach on the way, he was attracted by the soft crying.
Beneath a lamppost by the beach, glowing with a faint magical glow, Eve curled up and wept.
A patrolling soldier spotted Eve at the same time, Tang Yi waved at him, signaling that it was his friend, and the soldier walked away.
Quietly stepping forward, he took off his coat and put it on Eve's back, Eve looked up at him, clasped her hands on her knees and wept.
The hands and feet were covered with tightly wrapped bandages.
Listening to the crying voice, Tang Yi sat down quietly beside her.
The last rays of gray light disappeared between the clouds on the horizon, and the blue-black waves rose and fell silently in front of them, and occasionally the refracted silver-scaled starlight shone out, and then disappeared between the gaps in the waves in an instant.
After a while, Eve's cry gradually weakened, and only turned into a constant tremor of her body.
"Mr.
Resaduk, you say, will there be good people among the nobles?"
"Well, I guess I have."
"Randel Ta" The voice disappeared into silence in his throat, and Tang Yi turned to look at her.
Most of the body was curled up in a ball, and the bandages and cloaks tightly covered everything that could, and even the slightly exposed half of the face was swallowed up by the shadow of the cloak, and in it, only the eyes looked at the end of the sea, flashing like a starry sky:
