Heidi's eyes widened in disbelief, freezing her in place, and even her breathing came to a halt. "But I...," she stammered.
"Ms. Lister!" Remus held up the list in his hand and sneered. "I'm sorry, but your name is not on the list."
"How is that possible!?" Heidi exclaimed.
"I wouldn't know. All I know is that we must follow His Majesty's requirements and check the list to allow entry," Remus explained.
Heidi's expression turned extremely grim. Her face paled, and she broke out in a cold sweat despite the scorching sun.
"Ms. Violet Grist," Remus drawled, raising an eyebrow. "Your name is not on the list either!"
"What?" Violet protested. "What's going on? I have an invitation letter. I—"
"I'm sorry, Ms. Grist, but according to the royal rules, the invitation letter has no effect. The final reference is the list," Remus clarified.
"Well—"
"Heh, but I believe it would be a waste for you to enter, Ms. Grist. The Southeast Aciatic palace does not welcome someone like you!" Remus taunted.
Violet gnashed her teeth, her eyes burning with anger.
However, with guards surrounding them and Remus' prestigious status, she didn't dare to provoke him. She had no choice but to suppress her emotions and ask, "Why?"
"I heard what you said earlier." Remus raised his voice. "Southeast Aciatic is a place of simple and honest people. His Majesty advocates for equality, friendship, and unity! Your earlier words seem to contradict those values."
Violet froze, standing under the scorching sun alongside Heidi like statues.
Keira glanced at Lina with a mischievous smile on her face as she whispered, "Isn't this satisfying?"
"Huh?"
"Don't you think so?" Keira's joy couldn't be contained. "Hehe, karma always finds its way. It's true!"
Lina pursed her lips, her smile less evident. As Keira had said, what had just happened... did feel satisfying.
