In July Quinn’s astonishment, a middle-aged man as round as a ball walked onto the stage amidst the enthusiastic applause of the crowd.
To show their welcome to this person from Meridia, both the principal and Brandon White personally stepped forward to greet him.
"Welcome, Mr. Upton."
Upton’s Mandarin was quite good, but his attitude was rather arrogant.
Whether it was the principal or Brandon White, he shook hands with them only to then take out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, as if afraid of catching some deadly germs.
"Alright, what exactly did you invite me here for today?"
Upton, afraid these ignorant people would waste his precious time, glanced at his expensive wristwatch and began to urge them.
Brandon White quickly informed him of the purpose of today’s invitation to the classroom, to which Upton replied, "As you can see, I’ve established The Linden Academy myself and hold education in high regard. So I’m happy to answer your questions."
Although Upton agreed, his condescending attitude made the principal frown involuntarily.
However, to clear up the students’ doubts, the principal still expressed sincere gratitude once more.
Brandon White then quickly recounted roughly the use of language that July Quinn had mentioned to Upton, and then asked:
"Isn’t such usage incorrect? I remember not seeing this form in either local Meridia books or in some of the reprinted books circulated outside."
Yes, ever since Brandon White went to study in Meridia, he had read numerous books from there.
As such, he was quite confident that his proficiency in the language of Meridia was higher than July Quinn’s.
After listening to the description, Upton stroked his chin and began to ponder, and was just about to speak after a while. The most update n0vels are published on novel_fіre.net
"I think this usage..."
The crowd eagerly awaited his answer.
But before he could speak further, a cold, female voice came from behind: "Upton, are you sure you really understand these?"
"Why wouldn’t I understand, I..."
Upton had indulged in the pleasure of being worshiped and bowed to by wealth after leaving Meridia and was quite complacent.
Suddenly being questioned in such a frosty tone with a hint of sarcasm made him extremely angry, and he was about to retaliate.
But at the moment of looking up, Upton suddenly froze.
Even those eyes almost squeezed shut by fat had opened wide in that instant.
After the shock, Upton hurriedly kneeled down in panic.
Upton enjoyed being revered outside so much that he wouldn’t notice those who didn’t actively greet him, not even giving them an extra glance.
So, he truly hadn’t realized that the person standing on the stage was Her Majesty, July.
At that moment, he felt his legs trembling, and his pants a bit wet.
"What’s going on here?"
"Wow, did the royal family member just kneel?"
"What did he just call our Julian Quinn? ’Your Majesty’?"
Not only were the students below the stage baffled by Upton kneeling, but even the principal and Brandon White onstage were stunned.
Why did this exceptionally arrogant member of Meridia’s royal family kneel upon seeing July Quinn?
Brandon White was the first to regain his senses and immediately stepped forward, trying to help Upton up to prevent him from making a fool of himself.
"Mr. Upton, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Please stand up."
Indeed, compared to believing Upton kneeled out of fear of July Quinn, Brandon was more willing to believe that he was suddenly unwell and thus knelt.
After all, July Quinn was only of similar age to him, how could it be possible for her to hold such a noble identity that Mr. Upton would have no choice but to kneel?
