244 The Banquet [Part 1]

"Your Highness, are you feeling nervous?" Carter asks.

"Haha, that would be the last thing on my mind," I reply with a smile, although I find myself growing increasingly excited instead.

Currently, we are walking on a plain tiled road that leads to the Ceremonial Hall. The Ceremonial Hall is quite distant from the royal residences, considering the vast expanse of this castle.

"I should have arranged a car to pick you up, and for that, I apologize for my impudence," Carter suddenly says, bowing slightly without meeting my gaze.

"Oh... It's fine. I won't break a sweat before reaching the hall. I just hope to avoid encountering people I can't tolerate," I sigh.

Upon hearing my words, Carter freezes momentarily.

"Regarding that... There are indeed some bothersome people attending the event," Carter wearily responds, accompanied by a smile.

"Sigh..."

"One last question, Carter... Will I be assigned an aide?" I inquire, adopting a serious expression.
