Chapter 98: Selection (7)

Everyone took in a deep breath and exhaled, trying to calm themselves as much as possible. There were exceptions of course- like the Academy, the Lochtear house and the Ironcross family. They cared little of the victor of this selection.

The most nervous were the Bradleys, the 'traitorous' Silva house and the red haired Crimsons. They had put too much stakes onto the Crown Prince. The Crimson family even used their highly talented daughter, who could have been the next Crimson Duchess, as a tool. Whether the grand plan they had been working on for decades would come to fruition or shatter depended on the High King's very decision.

Not only them, everyone else in the left segment of the hall were nervous, fidgeting their body parts- trying to calm themselves as mush as possible. The case was the same for the rightmost segment. They might be numerous, but 'only' the Lochtear family was their core support.
