After silencing Faciso and the other examiners with one sentence, Sigrid turned and left the observation room.
She waved off the guards and maids and went straight to the lounge where Dean was. As soon as she reached the door, she saw two children guarding the door.
Lucy is on the left and Ronan is on the right. The two apprentices are wearing uniforms and have serious expressions on their faces. They can barely maintain a certain momentum, but the slight baby fat on their faces makes them look a little awkward. I can't help but feel a little teasing.
Sigrid obeyed her own will, walked lightly, walked to them from a blind spot, and suddenly made a sound, startling the two children.
"Standing guard here?"
"Yes Yes!"
The appearance of the princess obviously caught them off guard.
Ronan frowned, bowed casually, and then answered Sigrid's question seriously.
Sigrid's cramped appearance instantly reminded her of her younger brother.
Although the two were different in age, their reactions after being scared were surprisingly similar, which made her feel a little bit more empathetic.
"Can I come in?"
Sigrid knelt down slightly and asked for their opinions with a smile.
"this……"
Ronan scratched his head and wanted to say that he needed to go in and ask the teacher. Before he could speak, the door was suddenly opened slightly.
The sound attracted Sigrid's attention. She raised her head and looked at the door with a knowing expression.
In order to prevent tactical leakage, the doors to the venue's lounge are made of special materials, which are strong and soundproof. Naturally, this gap cannot be blown open by the wind.
"It seems like the people inside welcome me."
The woman who had just suppressed Faciso because of her birth, opened the hidden zipper inside the skirt, took off the large skirt of the princess dress, revealing the casual clothes underneath, and walked in through the door with brisk steps.
Lucy and Ronan, who didn't react, originally wanted to stop her, but their view was blocked by the big hem of her skirt. They took a step slower and saw that she had opened the door and walked in, so they had to hold up their skirts and follow her in.
"Your Highness, your dress..."
Lucy raised her hands with difficulty, trying to return this seemingly valuable skirt to its owner.
The gorgeous skirts directly engulfed her and Ronan's figures. Coupled with the strenuous appearance, it was difficult to imagine what kind of load the noble women of the empire endured on daily basis.
"Thank you, little girl, but don't worry about it. An excellent dress should know how to exit at the right time."
Sigrid clapped her hands, and the gorgeous skirt instantly turned into a colorful butterfly and flew out from the open door.
The exaggerated special effects made Dean wonder what to make of it.
He silently recited several times in his mind that the person in front of him was a real magic princess, no matter how grand she was, it was not worth being shocked. Then he stood up with a calm face and led Sigrid to the sofa.
"Don't be polite, Mr. Timothy, you'll scare the children."
After sitting in her seat, Sigrid raised her hand towards Timothy, indicating that he did not need to salute. At the same time, she also comforted the two apprentices who were feeling uneasy because of the etiquette errors.
Her friendly attitude made Ronan and Lucy feel a little bit like they had when they were getting along with Sigrid. They imitated Timothy and performed the correct etiquette, then closed the door and quietly exited. .
After the children left, Sigrid looked at Dean and joked: "Although I had guessed that you would not remain unknown forever, some of the events that have happened during this time still shocked me."
"Including the competition just now, it was very exciting... By the way, congratulations to you for winning the first day."
"You're welcome."
Dean said modestly.
"You don't need to be so modest. Not all competitions at any level can make the examiner question whether I used the [Wheel of Destiny] to open a backdoor for the contestants. You deserve this honor."
Open the back door?
Dean's heart moved.
What does this sentence mean?
Sigrid, however, deliberately avoided the question he wanted to ask.
"The exorcist's withdrawal this time can be said to have thrown the entire profession they represent into disrepute. Therefore, in the next few competitions, they will definitely not leave unless they get back what they have lost. of."
She looked at Timothy and said, "I'm indirectly helping you."
"yes."
Timothy nodded, looking forward to the next few gambling games more and more.
Knowing that he knew well that he would not let the knights suffer, Sigrid turned her head and continued: "But judging from the current competition allocation, at least before the last day, they will definitely not be able to regain their face. .”
As soon as these words came out, Dean knew it. He raised his eyebrows and confirmed: "Tomorrow it will be me and the wizard..."
"bingo."
Sigrid nodded slightly.
"You and the witch are the winners of two competitions respectively. The duel will definitely attract more attention, so you are scheduled to the last one, which can be regarded as the finale performance."
"Of course, that's a layman's view. Anyone who knows the inside story knows that tomorrow is the really crucial game. Who can finally establish the Origin Guild, whether you or the magician, depends on the outcome of this game. "
"In comparison, your duel with the witch is slightly less important."
Dean also knew this. He recalled the information he got from the first competition and continued to improve his countermeasures.
"Timothy should have told you before, but since I am here in person, I will remind you again. If there is a real one-on-one, there will be a special surprise!"
Looking at Dean who was deep in thought, Sigrid leaned on the sofa and pretended to be mysterious.
Dean originally didn't take this "special surprise" to heart, which was basically non-existent in today's competition, but after hearing Sigrid's special emphasis, he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
He leaned forward, trying to pry out information.
"Today's competition is not considered one-on-one?"
Sigrid smiled and shook her head.
"Of course not. This competition is actually still a wheel battle. It's just that you scared the exorcist and turned the wheel battle into a one-on-one battle."
"But whether it is truly one-on-one, and whether it will trigger a special surprise, is not decided by reality, or you and me, but by the [Wheel of Fate]."
"Don't be anxious, and don't be curious. I have a hunch that you will have a chance to see what this surprise is."
I hope your ominous premonition doesn't come true.
Dean's face showed no emotion, but in his heart he was sincerely opposing Sigrid.
