Caesar Arrives!

Everyone was surprised to see that the person who stepped out of the carriage was actually Tribios.

Jiang Zhu blinked and turned to look at Ye Qiong.

"Teacher, is that Teacher Tribios?"

The others also looked at Ye Qiong, waiting for an answer.

But Ye Qiong shook his head.

"Not quite. Teacher Tribios went to pick someone up."

Phainon glanced at the carriage cabin.

Sure enough, after Tribios stepped down, she didn't walk over immediately but turned to set down a small stool.

Wait, a stool?

What was that for?

The crowd watched, completely bewildered.

The next moment, the curtain was lifted again, and another figure emerged from the carriage.

It was a young girl.

She wore a magnificent blue and black outfit, and atop her head sat an exquisite crown, with a cluster of ghostly blue flames visible above it.

As soon as the girl emerged and saw the small stool, she frowned, seemingly displeased.

The next second, she ignored the stool and leaped down directly.

Seeing this, Tribios froze for a moment before silently putting the stool away.

She felt a bit awkward; this personage did not seem to like being cared for in such a manner.

After landing gracefully, the girl raised a hand to smooth her hem, then lifted her chin.

Only then did everyone get a clear look at her face.

Though the girl's features were somewhat petite, she carried an air of dominance that belied her age.

She had a pair of blue eyes, which were currently scanning the area ahead with a calm, sharp intensity.

With just one glance, everyone felt the overwhelming aura radiating from her.

Many present, including Wang Sheng, were affected by this presence and instinctively lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.

The girl walked toward the academy gate step by step.

Tribios followed behind her, maintaining a distance of half a step at all times.

Seeing her approach, Ye Qiong immediately stepped forward to greet her, placing his right hand over his chest and bowing slightly.

"Welcome, Your Highness Caesar, to our academy."

Seeing this, the people of Amphoreus Academy followed Ye Qiong's lead and performed a noble salute.

Caesar stopped and let her gaze fall on Ye Qiong, looking him up and down.

Then, she spoke unhurriedly.

"Art thou the Dean of this Amphoreus Academy?"

Ye Qiong straightened up, his tone composed.

"I am."

Caesar nodded and said bluntly, "I shall be studying here for a time. I hope you will not disappoint me."

Ye Qiong stepped aside and gestured toward the gate.

"Welcome, Your Highness. Please, enter."

Caesar did not stand on ceremony with Ye Qiong and walked straight inside.

Ye Qiong followed at her side to lead the way, while Tribios trailed behind, with Phainon and the others keeping a distance of seven or eight paces from the pair.

On the way, Wang Sheng lowered his voice and leaned toward Phainon to mutter, "This aura... my legs are feeling a bit weak."

Phainon only smiled faintly without replying, his gaze fixed on the small figure ahead.

Suddenly, a sense of familiarity welled up in his heart once more.

The Dean was like this, Teacher Tribios was like this, and now this person was the same.

What could be the reason for this?

Phainon had no way of knowing, so he could only stop thinking about it.

However, looking at Caesar's demeanor, it was as if she had come to inspect her own territory.

Ye Qiong led Caesar to the plaza.

At this moment, in front of the stage in the center of the plaza, a luxurious chair was placed at the very front.

Compared to the other seats, it was clearly a cut above the rest.

Ye Qiong gestured toward the seat and invited her:

"Your Highness, please take your seat."

Caesar nodded indifferently, walked over to the chair, and sat down with graceful composure.

Ye Qiong sat down to her left.

Tribios led the others to take their respective seats.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Ye Qiong raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

The next moment, the curtains of the small stage in the plaza slowly drew open, revealing the orchestra inside.

The musicians began to play one after another.

In an instant, a light and elegant melody filled the air, carrying the joyful atmosphere of a court banquet.

Caesar's expression remained unchanged at the sight, but her fingers began to tap against the armrest in time with the melody.

When the piece concluded, Ye Qiong turned his head to look at her:

"How was it, Your Highness?"

Caesar did not look at him, merely replying coolly:

"Passable."

Ye Qiong smiled slightly and continued:

"Since Your Highness will be studying at our academy, let me briefly introduce the situation here."

"Currently, the academy has a total of six students..."

Ye Qiong introduced Phainon and the others to Caesar one by one.

However, as she listened, her gaze merely swept over them with indifference.

After finishing the introductions for Phainon and the others, Ye Qiong looked at Tribios and continued:

"As for the teaching, Teacher Tribios is fully in charge. Her strength is at level ninety-nine, so Your Highness can rest assured."

As soon as these words were spoken, Phainon, Wang Sheng, and the others behind them were all stunned, and they cast their gazes toward Tribios.

Level ninety-nine?!

Seeing everyone looking at her, Tribios just smiled slightly without offering an explanation.

Upon hearing this, Caesar did not show much surprise.

She merely turned her head to glance at Tribios, then gave a slight nod:

"Level ninety-nine... that is worthy of teaching Me."

Ye Qiong nodded with a smile:

"I am glad you are satisfied, Your Highness."

Caesar remained silent for a moment, seemingly processing the information Ye Qiong had provided.

Then, she stood up:

"I have a general understanding of the academy's situation. Take Me to see My living quarters."

"Very well, please follow me, Your Highness."

With that, Ye Qiong led Caesar toward the residential area of the campus.

Tribios did not follow; she remained where she was, watching the two of them leave.

Once they were far away, Wang Sheng and the others could no longer hold back.

Wang Sheng was the first to jump up, his tone urgent:

"Teacher Tribios! You—you—you're level ninety-nine?!"

"Yeah, Teacher, why have you never mentioned that before?"

"Teacher Tribios, who exactly are you?"

Everyone chimed in, one after another, asking out of curiosity.

Tribios raised a hand to signal for silence, then replied with a smile:

"We can discuss those things later. As for that Highness just now, don't you want to know more about her?"

Wang Sheng immediately pressed:

"So, what is her background? Is she a princess of the Kingdom of Balak?"

Tribios nodded.

"Her true name is Cerydra; Caesar is merely a title she bestowed upon herself. She is not only a princess but also the sole heir to the current Kingdom of Balak."

The sole heir?

The group was startled. Did that not make her the future crown prince?

Although the Kingdom of Balak currently recognized the Heaven Dou Empire as its suzerain state, the status of a future crown prince was undeniably significant.

"Why would a princess of the Kingdom of Balak come to an academy like ours that was just established?" Phainon asked.

Tribios glanced at him.

"Perhaps you should ask the headmaster that question, but there is one thing I can tell you right now."

"Her martial soul is the Scales of Justice, and she is a level thirty-three auxiliary-system battle soul master."

Upon hearing this, the group gasped in unison.

"H-how much?"

Wang Sheng and the others looked toward Phainon one after another.

Level thirty-three at twelve years old? She was actually one level higher than Phainon.

Seeing the group's reaction, Tribios smiled, though her thoughts drifted back to last night.

Last night.

Ye Qiong had called her into his office.
