The Banquet (Part 1)

It seemed like K City hadn't seen such a big event in a long time.

The princess of a certain Small Nordic Country had come to China to study. To better experience life, she had deliberately left her entourage behind and arrived at her destination alone ahead of schedule. While the relevant departments were busily preparing for this welcome party with limited preparation time, our princess was freeloading food and drinks at a Chinese high school student's house – this was the script Sandora had directed.

The big-eating girl in front of me was rapidly shoveling food into her mouth, while I endured the twitching on my face and said, "I say, Sandora, can't you find a place to stay? Are you going to freeload meals here every day?"

Sandora mumbled indistinctly, "Mmm – because I like being with you – I didn't expect your sister's cooking to be so delicious..."

My sister immediately replied somewhat reservedly, "Thank you..."

Even now, my sister still found it incredibly unbelievable that I could "abduct" a princess.

Seeing that my sister was still a bit unnatural, I said helplessly, "Sis, just relax. This girl is no different from us, except for the title of princess."

My sister immediately replied, "A Jun, you can't say that! Sandora is a princess after all, we should still be respectful. Otherwise, this could become an international dispute..."

Sister, you're thinking too much. It's a pity that if we were to have a dispute with Sandora, it should be elevated to the level of racial and interstellar disputes. Saying it's an international dispute is still too childish.

These past few days, the classmates have basically been discussing with great enthusiasm every day what the mysterious princess who suddenly visited looks like, but they don't know that the person they are discussing is the noble blonde girl next to them who eats three people's worth of food every noon. The reason is simple: although Sandora's demeanor is princess-like enough, and the four foreign bodyguards she brought on the first day were also impressive enough, unfortunately, her appetite directly shot down the possibility of everyone associating her with the identity of a princess.

Three days passed in a flash. The foreign princess coming to this city to study was obviously a big event, and this princess who had not yet shown her face attracted even more attention with her mysteriousness. During this time, I gradually learned how Sandora had created such an incredible identity for herself.

Sandora's target was Liska, a cold island country in Northern Europe, with a land area of 60,000 square kilometers and a population of over 5 million. Due to the cold climate, most of the population is concentrated around the capital, Fulton. Other areas can be described as vast and sparsely populated. Because there are no special products and no great people who have shaken the world have emerged, this island country, which is not too small in area, is not very famous. It only relies on developed commerce and recently emerging tourism. The residents of Liska live a relatively prosperous life. Sandora and her subordinates immediately took a fancy to this Nordic country with a large number of foreign mobile people and large areas of uninhabited ice fields.

Before, I never knew what ability Sandora had gained in the Abyss. After all, I had only seen her Abyss combat form, and I knew nothing about her Abyss ability. It wasn't until yesterday that Sandora personally told me what her ability was.

Matter Constitution.

This is what Sandora told me.

Specifically, it is to transform one's will into direct causality interference power, forcibly turning a fictional thing into a fact in reality. Using this ability, Sandora fabricated a princess identity for herself.

Undoubtedly, this is simply a heaven-defying ability – if this ability didn't have so many restrictions.

The success rate is less than one-tenth. The larger the scope of influence and the more the fabricated fact deviates from reality, the greater the backlash damage to the user. Each use will put the user in a near-death weak state for 24 hours. If the use fails, there is even the danger of causing a causality collapse...

With so many restrictions, I really don't know whether to call this ability heaven-defying or useless. It's also thanks to this girl Sandora for being bold enough to take such a serious risk.

"It's okay," when I blamed Sandora for being too adventurous, she waved her hand and said, "Anyway, it succeeded, didn't it? At worst, I won't use this ability in the future."

In a small cafe near the city center square, I, Qian Qian, Sandora, and Pandora were whiling away the boring afternoon – after having extra classes every day, we were actually a bit unaccustomed to suddenly having a day off.

I poked my head out and looked at the almost ready outdoor banquet venue, and said to Sandora, "It's already this time, and you still haven't shown up. Aren't the organizers anxious to death?"

"It's fine," Sandora waved her hand, then grabbed the small pastries in front of me and stuffed them into her mouth, "I told them, I'll show up when the time comes. If they don't even have this much composure, there's nothing I can do."

"Sandora," Qian Qian still looked a bit confused, "Are you really a princess?"

"That's right." Sandora stuffed the last piece of pastry from my plate into her mouth, then snapped her fingers: "Waiter, another serving!"

Why is the contrast between this girl in front of people and behind people so big?

Qian Qian turned her head back and forth, her gaze sweeping between us, and suddenly blurted out, "Recently, I suddenly feel that the three of you are very strange, as if I'm the only exception here."

"Because you are the only ordinary person here," Sandora said seriously.

"I also want superpowers..." Qian Qian said weakly,趴 on the table.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside. We poked our heads out to look, and it turned out that a team of foreigners wearing clothes that looked like medieval European court costumes were riding motorcycles in an orderly fashion.

"I think it would be more appropriate for them to ride horses," Qian Qian expressed her opinion.

I nodded in agreement: "Riding motorcycles in ancient costumes is indeed quite silly."

Since the outdoor banquet had already started, there was no need for us to waste time here. I had deliberately starved myself since noon for this moment...

This was a genuine free gathering. Regardless of identity or family background, anyone who was willing to come could participate – of course, there was still some appropriate filtering of personnel, but we were not within that filtering range. The eye-catching identity of a foreign princess and the completely free food and drink attracted countless people. Among them were those who came to see beautiful women, those who came for free food, and even more who came to eat while looking at beautiful women...

Although the square in the city center was huge, the crowd attracted was even more surging. The mountain-like and sea-like crowd almost filled the entire square. The four of us were squeezed in the crowd and could barely move. It was only then that I finally realized that the so-called free food and drink supply was completely misleading. Finding the few scattered food and drink supply points among the crowd in this situation was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. To be honest, I'm starving to death right now... I should have fought back when Sandora took the pastries from my plate just now.

After squeezing for a long time, Sandora suddenly sighed, "There are so many Earthlings."

Qian Qian was greatly surprised: "Saying that makes it sound like you're not from Earth!"

I chuckled dryly: "This girl is full of nonsense."

Looking at the dense crowd around me, I suddenly worried, "If this continues, won't we still be unable to get in by the time the banquet ends?"

"Can the banquet end if I don't show up?" Sandora rolled her eyes at me, seemingly not worried at all.

"Do you have a good way to get in?" I asked, looking at Sandora's confident appearance. Thinking about it, with Sandora's identity, she must have experienced many big occasions, so how could she not think of such a simple thing?

Sandora giggled, then waved her hand: "Experience complete, now follow me!"

This girl really had a backup plan!

The three of us followed Sandora out of the crowd, then turned several corners and came to the other side of the square, where a small group of foreigners in suits were pacing anxiously.

Sandora tidied her slightly wrinkled clothes, and her demeanor suddenly changed from a playful and cute girl next door to a noble foreign princess. Then she walked up and reprimanded, "How can you be so undignified!"

Several foreigners were startled by Sandora's sudden voice. When they saw the face of the person who had arrived, they were so happy they almost jumped up. However, remembering that they were in front of the princess, these well-trained security personnel quickly calmed down, but their voices still carried undisguised excitement and relief: "Your Highness! You've finally arrived, we couldn't reach you,"

"Alright," Sandora waved her hand and said, "Didn't I tell you that with my four personal bodyguards, I would be fine – that's it, it's getting late. These are my friends, take us with you."

"This..." The foreigners looked at each other, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

"Do you have any questions about this?" Sandora said coldly, unleashing the full power of her mental pressure. Several foreigners immediately shivered and repeatedly shook their heads: "No questions, no questions..."

"Now I believe it," Qian Qian stuck out her tongue and said, "Sandora is really a princess."
