No Substitutes for the Bigshots' Dream Girl Anymore!-Chapter 1627: News Spreads

Even with royal blood, nothing much could be changed.

Hannah never intentionally flaunted her talents in front of others; during her days in the palace, what she did most was antagonize Emma. Even without resorting to force, she could infuriate Emma to no end.

This disturbance lasted a good while in the palace, but to preserve the royal family’s dignity, no one dared to drive Hannah away.

It was only after Hannah entered the Mech Academy that everything changed.

She began to gradually show her talent; even under controlled circumstances, she still excelled. As time passed, many people began to recognize that there was a girl in the Mech Academy whose natural abilities and strength were comparable to Wayne Lane’s.

Everyone praised Hannah as the true genius, the empire’s future.

Even though those people didn’t know about Hannah’s relationship with the royal family.

But Emma couldn’t accept it, she couldn’t accept someone else stealing her spotlight.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t match Hannah’s achievements.

They say, that’s talent.

Though her psychic powers were great, her natural aptitude for piloting mechs wasn’t as strong as Hannah’s, neither was her strength nor her diligence.

Afterwards, Emma was like someone who had taken a blow; realizing she would never catch up to Hannah in mechs, she simply gave up.

After all, she was the future heir to the throne, and didn’t need to fight fiercely on the battlefield.

The queen thought the same.

For a high-ranking individual, there was no need to hold oneself to the standard of a warrior.

And so, the indulgent king and queen both acquiesced to Emma’s thoughts.

No matter how impressive Hannah was, she was ultimately to serve them.

This thinking persisted for a century.

Only when the wanderers truly invaded did they realize just how outrageously wrong they were.

In the daytime meetings, the nobles in the palace were all silent, and even if they spoke, it was only in quiet, subtle conversations to each other.

From the throne, the king’s dark, gaunt eyes were clearly visible.

News had already come from the borders; the defenses had been breached, Emma was captured yet showed no signs of life, both commander Wayne Lane and Sheffield Benedict were completely missing.

However, more pressing than the uncertainty of Wayne Lane and Sheffield Benedict’s fates was the news that Emma, the First Princess, had fled the battlefield.

The whole empire was in an uproar.

No one could have imagined that the princess, touted as the empire’s guardian in royal propaganda, would do such a thing.

Public opinion overwhelmingly crushed down, everyone questioning why the previously reported princess, who was supposedly resisting the foreign enemies, had now abandoned everyone to flee for her safety.

Was this really the guardian deity they had always believed and worshipped?

- It was already known, the royal family never intended for Emma to stay at the border, they had sent people to bring her back long ago; had the wanderers not suddenly attacked, she might have already fled back.

- A princess without any military accomplishments, could anyone really believe she was the future guardian of the empire?

- Guardian deity? She did protect, just preoccupied with protecting herself, right?

- Want to know how the situation at the border is now, how are the Mech Academy students holding up?

- Is the fight on, or not at all? Just busy watching the royal family’s self-directed drama every day.

- Doesn’t the royal family owe us an explanation? I heard those wanderers came specifically targeting the royals...
