Becky’s eyes widened Was she saying she wouldn’t attend the state banquet?! Fury coursedthrough her. “Are you threatening me?”
“If you think so, then yeah.” Chloe replied without further explanation, going along with Becky’sassertion.
Chloe not attending the banquet? Wendy would love that
What was the state banquet? It was where all the bigshots from around the world would be there. IfChloe did a good job and impressed them, who knew what opportunities might come her way?Besides, when word got back home, she would be on cloud nine
But if she didn’t attend due to last minute issues, Chloe would end up the laughingstock.
Wendy spoke softly. “Chloe, you can’t just decide whether to attend the state banquet on a whim.The program has been arranged. How can you back out at this point?”
Chloe glanced at Wendy, a smirk in her eyes.
Wendy continued, “I know you never care what others think, but if you’re going to back out, youshould at least let the production team know.”
Becky sneered. “You’re so full of yourself. If you don’t want to attend, then don’t. The world will keepturning without you. If you don’t perform, there are plenty of people who will. It’s not a big deal. I cantake care of it with just a few words.”
Chloe chuckled and nodded, her voice indifferent, “Oh, is that so?”
Becky was so mad she could barely think straight. She had been bullied enough by Chloe in P City,and she wouldn’t allow it to happen again now that they were in Y Country
Was she supposed to clean up this banquet hall? She had never washed a dish in her life, let alonedo this kind of dirty work. Dream on!
“Well in that case, Princess Becky, please also arrange for my performance to be cancelled. Thesomewhat older man said, his voice deep and calm.
Both Wendy and Becky froze.
“Yeah, since you can arrange things so easily, cancel my performance too.”
“And mine. 1 never wanted to perform here in the first place.”
“The Princess of Y Country has a lot of power and capability. Even though we won’t be attendingthe banquet, we have learned a lot about the Y Country’s royal family. Performing in such a countrywould be an insult to us. Go ahead and cancel our performances too.” The speaker, the leader ofan orchestra, declared
“And us too…”
Becky started to panic as she watched the entire banquet hall beginning to stir in protest. Wendyappeared unwell as well. Becky’s actions were quite foolish. Even after Chloe changed the topic,Becky still wanted to challenge her. That was enough!
However, Barbara considered Wendy equally unintelligent. Hopelessly dumb! She had easily falleninto a trap.
Barbara knew that once these people made up their minds, they wouldn’t easily change, but withthe state banquet being such an important event, any mistakes were unacceptable.
Mishaps would be unacceptable, especially since the Queen was about to abdicate. What would theconsequences be if the Queen found out that all of this was caused by Becky?
Barbara had always maintained the attributes expected of a princess, including manners, speech,etiquette, and social interactions. She even embraced subjects she might not have favored, all tofulfill her role as a princess.
Although she wasn’t the Queen’s biological granddaughter, the Queen had never raised the issue inall these years. Moreover, Y Country’s hereditary system had led to dissatisfaction among certainfactions. This could have severe consequences if someone less favorable inherites the throne.
Over the years, Barbara had consistently projected a favorable public image as a princess,amassing numerous supporters. If nothing went wrong, she was undoubtedly a strong candidate forthe throne. If she allowed today’s events to unfold unchecked and the Queen discovered them, theconsequences would be dire, thanks to this imbecile!
“On behalf of my younger sister, I apologize to you all. She’s young and impulsive, and has somemisunderstandings about Ms. Chloe. I hope you won’t be too harsh on her. She alone does notrepresent the entire Y Country royal family. I think everyone is very clear about Queen Julia’sreputation in our Y Country and internationally. Please, I’d like to get your help to make the statebanquet go smoothly for Queen Julia. Also, Ms. Chloe, I sincerely apologize to you again forBecky’s words and actions just now.” Barbara was humble and polite when she spoke, with anapologetic smile on her face, bowing at everyone.
When it came to offering a perfect apology, Barbara always knew how to do it.
Chloe’s eyebrows twitched slightly as she turned to look at Barbara, who was smiling at her.
“Ms Chloe, what do you think?” Barbara asked once more. Chloe looked at her silently for amoment. The two–locked eyes in a standoff, neither willing to back. down first
Chloe’s lips curled up slightly Her gaze remained fixed on Barbara as she said lightly, “Of course, Idon’t want to create a scene. As for my opinion…” She paused, glancing over at Becky, whoappeared flushed yet defiant. Chloe continued slowly, “As I mentioned earlier, I’m in a terrible mood!When I’m feeling this way, I doubt my stage performance will be any good. I believe the otherguests wouldn’t deliver satisfactory performances either when they are feeling down. Being topartists globally, they would never allow any flaws in their image. If their performance is affected bytheir mood, it would damage their reputation at the state banquet. Isn’t that a loselose situation?”
“Of course, we want to perform exceptionally well for Queen Julia; we just don’t know if someonewill give us the opportunity.” Chloe’s words resonated with the artists in the room, all of whom wereconsidered top–notch
However, Barbara’s facial expression noticeably stiffened as she focused on Chloe’s eyes, her gazeslightly tightening Chloe’s point was that, regardless of what she said here, she wouldn’t change hermind because of Barbara’s sake. She would only do it for Queen Julia.
While they certainly wanted to deliver a stellar performance for the Queen, the question remainedwhether she would permit it.
Now, Chloe was emphasizing that Barbara and Becky wouldn’t allow them to give their best forQueen Julia.
How could she make such a statement!
