After becoming top guides, they are obsessed with

Chapter 580 Why did I choose you?
The banquet was held on the second floor of the Federation base. When Yu Xia arrived, quite a few people had already gathered.

The hall was brightly lit, and people were clinking glasses.

Yu Xia glanced around and saw that in addition to the group of people who had attended the meeting during the day, there were many unfamiliar faces, and quite a few guides had also arrived.

People gathered in small groups to chat, laugh, and drink, creating a harmonious and relaxed atmosphere, unlike the solemn atmosphere of the meeting.

As soon as Yu Xia entered, the noise in the hall subsided, and many eyes, some scrutinizing and some curious, were cast upon her.

Yu Xia ignored these gazes and looked for Farrell.

I searched all over but couldn't find anyone.

“Your Highness.” Bello hesitated, wanting to explain what had just happened, but Yu Xia raised her hand to stop him. “We can talk about it when we get back.”

Seeing her cold expression, Bello couldn't help but grasp her wrist. "Your Highness, don't listen to others' instigation."

Yu Xia withdrew her hand. "I will make my own judgment. I haven't settled accounts with you for what happened in the arena yet. I will give you a chance to explain what you have to say."

Upon hearing about the arena, Bello swallowed the words he was about to say.

He thought His Highness had forgotten about it, but it turns out he still remembered.

Silver Fang stared at Yu Xia, offering no explanation and refusing to utter a single word.

"Your Highness, you are here."

Ryan pushed through the crowd and came up to Yu Xia, interrupting their conversation.

Yu Xia's gaze fell on the person in front of her. Ryan was wearing a white suit, with a neat gold tie tucked into his suit jacket, and the gold lion brooch on his chest glittered under the light.

His beautiful blond hair was tied into a low ponytail that hung down his back, and his eyes and brows were both gentle and exuded an air of nobility.

Yu Xia paused for a moment, then nodded slightly in response.

Ryan smiled gently at her and then greeted the royals behind her.

Bello gave a cold but polite nod in return, while Silver Fang gave Ryan only a cold look before turning his gaze away to look at his own princess.

Metis patted him on the shoulder warmly, "Little lion, your outfit looks great on you."

Ryan smiled and said, "If the leader likes it, I'll have someone bring you a set."

Metis: "No need for that. I don't like wearing the same clothes as others."

Ryan looked him over and asked in surprise, "Is the leader injured?"

After saying that, he turned and ordered his subordinates to fetch the healing agent.

Seeing that the two were talking quite familiarly, Yu Xia asked Metis, "Do you know each other?"

Metis said, "I guess you could say we know each other. I fought him a few times on the West Coast. This little lion has some skill, but he's not fun. I never really enjoyed the fights."

The two spoke in the language of the sea people, which was even more private than the language of the dragons and was generally incomprehensible to ordinary people.

To avoid arousing suspicion from Farrell and the others, Yu Xia usually communicated using a mix of the Sea Clan language and the Common Language.

Ryan watched the two talking, his expression seemingly not understanding. He joked, "It seems Chief Metis is talking badly about me again. Your Highness, don't believe him."

Metis raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I'm praising you. I don't talk badly about people behind their backs."

After saying that, he leaned his head close to Yu Xia's ear and said, "Don't play with him. This little lion looks gentle and harmless, but he can kill without shedding blood."

Yu Xia pursed her lips slightly. It was clear that she wasn't talking about it behind someone's back; this was being said to their face.

"Has Your Highness had dinner?"

As Ryan spoke, he led Yu Xia to the center of the hall, introducing her to the banquet and the unfamiliar faces in the hall. Metis followed beside Yu Xia, trying several times to put his arm around her shoulder, but she slapped him away each time.

"Behave yourself," Yu Xia said, glancing at him.

Metis chuckled and crossed his arms, saying, "Then why do you listen to Farrell so much? You wear whatever he tells you to wear, and you even let him carry you. That's not fair, Your Highness."

Yu Xia said, "You haven't hugged enough people today? Be mindful of the occasion."

Metis said, "If I hadn't come, would you have said this to Farrell?"

Seeing that she fell silent, Metis said, "Is that right? You're just being discriminatory."

As if struck by a thought, Metis reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, ignoring Ryan's gaze, and pulled her into his embrace, leading her into the crowd without allowing her to resist.

Bello and Silver Fang tried to catch up, but their figures and line of sight were blocked by the agile movements of the other orca sentinels.

"What are you doing?" Yu Xia saw the surprised looks coming from all around her, struggled in Metis's arms, but couldn't break free, so she could only pinch his arm.

"Ouch, you pinched my wound."

Yu Xia loosened her grip and said helplessly, "So many people are watching, can't you be serious for once?"

Metis smiled, but his cold gaze swept over the crowd, and most of those eyes immediately looked away.

"Poti, let me ask you something." Metis's smile faded as he looked down at the person in his arms. "Do you think that without Celius, Farrell would be the next one to sit on the throne?"

Yu Xia: "Why would you ask that?"

She hadn't even considered this question. Her current identity was due to Selius. If it were Farrell or Metis, she might have already become their experience pack for advancement.

They challenge and devour royal bloodlines everywhere, let alone this royal who appeared out of nowhere.

Metis: "Just answer me or no. Without Celius, between me and Farrell, who would you choose?"

Yu Xia was even more puzzled, "Why should I choose you?"

Metis gave a soft "ha," and said, "You really want to choose that little manta ray and the little white dolphin? Even if they succeed in the succession, I'll knock them down sooner or later."

Yu Xia pulled Metis's hand away from her waist. "I am the Queen of Serius, don't forget that. Also, Silver Fang is not a manta ray, it's a ray, and Bello is a beluga whale. Don't keep calling them the wrong names."

“It doesn’t matter,” Metis said. “I don’t care about them anyway, but you’ll have to replace them anyway, because they’re disloyal to you.”

Yu Xia caught sight of several familiar figures in the hall and nudged Metis, "Let's talk about this when we get back. I'll give you a task."

Metis, intrigued by the mention of a mission, asked, "What mission?"

Yu Xia raised her chin in a certain direction and said, "Go and talk to them."

Metis followed her gaze, and his usually confident expression froze slightly.

"Little Potty, are you kidding me?"

Metis pointed to the people from the Holy City in his line of sight. "Are you sure it's them?"

Yu Xia patted his shoulder, "Remember to be polite. I believe you can do it."

Metis: "What's the point of talking to them?"

He didn't want to talk to anyone, let alone the people of the Holy City. He took two glasses of wine from the bartender next to him, handed one to Yu Xia, and said, "I'm just here to drink."

Yu Xia didn't know Metis very well. Although he was the sea creature who had the most contact with outsiders and seemed warm and cheerful, he was just like other sea creatures at heart. He never liked land people. At most, he would find some of them interesting and pay more attention to them. For example, right now, he wanted to go and play with those sentinels from the Tiger Tribe.

He also wanted to challenge that big guy to a fight; that big guy should be a good opponent. After beating him, he would go and fight their leader.
