"Your Majesty."
After the meeting ended, a group of high-ranking Bronze nobles remained in the Council Hall. The atmosphere was even more stifling than when Queen Xi had been present. At least they had been in a diplomatic mode then, and the conversation had been relatively lively. Now that she was gone, all that remained was weighing the pros and cons.
The first to break the silence was still Bern, the leader of the Holy Light Legion. His brows were tightly furrowed, and he looked as though he could not figure something out.
"What exactly was that great lady after by choosing such a place?"
Everyone was frowning because of the negotiations just now.
During the negotiations, Queen Xi had maintained an excellent attitude. She was willing to let the students of Tirisfal Academy help Bronze Academy win the championship and obtain first choice of the Ancient Land. She was even willing to have her own students probe and wear down the Bronze Clan's greatest opponent—Starry Sky Academy!
As for coordinating the battle plan, she had also indicated that she would cooperate as much as possible. This attitude had completely exceeded their expectations. Although the Northern Star Region was not well regarded, everyone had witnessed Tirisfal Academy's achievements from its founding until now. Its strength was undeniable, and they had never expected it to be so willing to cooperate.
Especially after what had happened just now.
In every Crown Prince Year, the various Royal Clan academies were far stronger than usual because of the participation of Royal Children. If the other academies wanted to secure their rankings, they could basically only cooperate with the Five Great Royal Clans. That was the confidence of the Royal Clan academies!
But this time was different. Their greatest trump card had already been lost
