50 "Finally, A Five-star Talent"
Mariella didn't know that there were suspicious people watching her every movement, but the sensitive Duke Fez vaguely felt something.
He often looked back and frowned, but in the end, he didn't catch anyone suspicious.
Anyway, there were a lot of shadow guards and secret guards scattered throughout the festival zone.
The shadow guards protected Isabella in the dark while the secret guards distributed the invitation.
The secret guards were mainly people good at hiding, moving stealthily, and as good as scouts or secret messengers.
But the shadow guards cultivated by Duke Fez himself, plus the royal family's shadow guards, were all strong enough to protect someone In the dark.
There were also guards disguised as commoners surrounding Mariella, keeping an eye on her to prevent any accident.
As long as Isabella stayed within Duke Fez' sight, there would be no accident.
The first day, there was no accident, indeed. Mariella played to her heart's content, and the next day she worked even more seriously than before.
Another batch of visitors, another wave of new talents to be discovered.
On the second day, Mariella also went to the festival zone once more and visited various food booths that she didn't manage to try yesterday.
There were also a lot of game booths that she hadn't tried yet and so, the kid could play freely.
The first day's batch of talents had been picked up at midnight by the wooden boats, and the whole event was really special for the first-day visitors.
The pretty lanterns, the mysterious wooden boats and the purple-robed people picking up the chosen people…
It was like a fairytale.
Even Mariella was fascinated when she witnessed the first-day talent-picking event.
After that, the talents were all sent to the castle and they could live at the castle until the talent festival ended.
After that, the queen would give them their official positions before holding a charity banquet to screen the nobles.
On the second day of the festival, Mariella didn't encounter anything strange, but on the third day, early in the morning, she saw something weird.
The five-year-old kid was doing her screening job as usual, and so far, after the festival zone opened for two hours, there hadn't been a lot of four-star talents.
Because the festival's staff didn't change, Mariella didn't manage to pick up more talent from the staff and focused on the visitors instead.
But more and more children came along with their parents or older brothers, older sisters, and close relatives.
Somehow, it was quite taxing for Mariella to assess the children's talent.
There were one or two children with a three-star talent, but the rest were mediocre.
Either their talents hadn't been triggered yet, or the kingdom's future generations were doomed!
Amidst the wave of child visitors, Mariella spotted two boys wearing robes with hoodies. Each of them wore simple face masks, covering their entire face.
Their hair color was also nothing too eye-catching– both were black.
But one of the boys had crimson eyes, the same as her eyes!
Others could be fooled, saying that the crimson eyes were the result of weird props or something, but she was sure that the boy's crimson pupils were real.
And so far, only the royal family has that kind of eye.
One couldn't change their eye color so easily in this world.
That's why Mariella and Duke Fez had always been worried whether someone would discover Isabella's identity, and they went to play.
After all, Isabella's crimson eyes were unique even when she wore a full-face mask.
This boy...someone with a pair of red pupils…
He's also a part of the royal family!
So far, Ainsley hadn't seen any royal family members coming to the festival.
She recognised some noble children in disguise coming to play, but none of them would be the royal family members.
The concubines and some staff at the castle came to the festival to have fun and might as well see whether they're lucky to be the chosen people.
But the princes and princesses...their status was too important, okay?
The queen would also see the princes and princesses' talent in this talent festival, but it should be at the charity banquet.
Even Princess Lizeth, who often snuck out of the castle to visit the slums, didn't come for the past two days.
Who would have known that on the third day, a prince snuck out to play…
Mariella couldn't see the boy's face clearly, and also couldn't see the prince's friend, but when she shifted her gaze to their heads…
The whole baby was so shocked that her fat jiggled and she almost fell from the sofa.
This….this!
The two boys shocked her not because of their identity but because of the stars above their heads!
The taller boy wearing a black full-face mask had five diamond stars floating quietly above his head, and there's this one purple word below–
Politic.
Oh my God! A five-star talent in politics! Even the current prime minister was only four stars!
This boy is even more talented than the prime minister?
So far, Mariella hadn't seen any visitors with four-star talent in politics. It was too rare. Otherwise, everyone could be a politician and join the cabinet directly.
Plus, among four-star talents in politics, the prime minister was the best, and that's why he became the prime minister.
But this boy's talent exceeds the prime minister's talent with a wide gap!
The gap between excellent and perfect was huge, okay?
Just look at Duke Fez. He's the only Grand Duke in the kingdom and the one who held the kingdom's military power.
Now, there's another five-star talent in politics...but he's still a boy!
So young! Maybe only ten years old!
Isn't this a miracle?!
