[It's Professor Grant.]
[Oh, the professor went to Valoria? That terrifying place. Why'd he go there? Hope he didn't get kidnapped.]
[He went to share cardiovascular breakthroughs with Valorians, but that's casting pearls before swine. Can they even understand him?]
[We can't let Valorians steal the professor's proprietary ideas. Their learning curve is scary!]

[Oh, I actually like Valoria.]

Hearing he was hosting a university keynote in Valoria, crowds tuned in, and seeing how respectfully Valorians treated Andre puffed up plenty of foreign viewers, reaffirming their belief that Oskary remained the center of the civilized world.
That Andre shouldn't be preaching his gospel in Valoria.
After all, elite technology and advanced science shouldn't be learned by cunning Valorians.
While foreign feeds buzzed with divided opinions, Andre concluded his opening greetings and spoke into the microphone with fatherly warmth, "I'm delighted to meet so many outstanding young minds here in Valoria. Especially Ms. Isabella Powell."
With a wave of Andre's hand, broadcast camera rigs swiveled to focus squarely on Isabella's seat.
Smiling warmly, Andre continued, "As you may know, I went out of my way to invite several Valorian secondary students to attend my lecture today.
"Why would I request high schoolers to attend an advanced symposium?
"After all, ordinary medical postgraduates struggle to grasp the depth of my lectures, let alone comprehend the cutting-edge theories within.
"Yet Ms. Isabella Powell is an extraordinary exception."
