The students couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as they looked at Lina, a mix of confusion and astonishment on their faces.
"T-This is too precious!" Lina finally calmed her pounding heart. "How can I wear this?"
"But to enter the palace, you must wear a long blouse and a long skirt to cover your arms and legs. It's a royal rule!"
"Sir, please find me an ordinary set of clothes," Lina looked at her classmates. "Something like what they're wearing..."
"Oh." Remus hesitated for a moment but continued, undeterred. "The royal family specially prepares the clothing they're wearing for visiting dignitaries. It's made uniformly. But since you arrived a bit later and all the clothes have been distributed, we can only ask you to wear this."
Lina felt a little bewildered.
Nevertheless, she would have to follow their rules if she wanted to enter the palace. Her T-shirt and jeans were indeed inappropriate.
Lina nodded and carefully carried the clothes, entering the adjacent dressing room guided by the maids as if embarking on a pilgrimage.
The remaining people exchanged glances, their doubts unspoken.
On the other hand, Remus took the initiative to explain to everyone, "You've come a long way from Jangasas and may not be very familiar with our Southeast Aciatic customs. The palace is a forbidden place and not open to everyone.
"If today's number of visitors does not match the list, His Majesty will blame us for our lack of efficiency in our work! Sending a convoy to pick up Ms. Jenner is our way of showing royal hospitality and His Majesty's enthusiasm. He said that not a single visitor should be missing!"
The students smiled, accepting this explanation.
Although Southeast Aciatic was traditional and conservative, it was also hospitable. This actually showcased the grandeur of the royal family.
While most could understand, a few individuals felt extremely uncomfortable and stared at the dressing room with gloomy expressions.
