"The Prince is here!"
"Really, this...it’s unlikely, isn’t it?"
Not only the reporters, but soon the news spread inside, and the audience in the stands, upon hearing that His Highness the Prince had arrived, each stood up from their seats, craning their necks towards the entrance.
Many young girls, like crazed fans, rushed to the exits, hoping to catch a glimpse of the true face of His Highness the Prince.
After all, for most people, the only chance to see the future King would be on the news, in magazines, on television...
Playing polo is a traditional sport in A Country.
Since the Victorian Era, A Country has had the tradition of holding a royal competition before National Day, with the last two teams entering the finals to compete on National Day, which is also a special holiday.
The competition is taken in turns by several ancient noble families, and this year it happened to be the Locke Family’s turn, the horse that Gan Yuan injured before was a gift to Nancy from the Lockes, intended for use in the exhibition match on National Day.
The Royal Polo Grounds were not too far from the estate, and today’s match was the semi-final, which would select the finalists from among the four teams.
You see, this aloof Prince usually showed little excitement for such events, and at this time, he should have been busy with National Day preparations, yet now he had unexpectedly turned up at the polo grounds, which truly surprised everyone.
Of course, the real surprise was yet to come.
The motorcade stopped outside the polo grounds, and the bodyguards were the first to jump out of the cars, standing guard all around.
The event staff had obviously been notified in advance, and the security personnel quickly encircled the perimeter, blocking the frenzied reporters and onlookers who had poured out.
Will came over and respectfully opened the car door for Huangfu Jue.
Gan Yuan turned around, and before she could move, the man’s hand was already reaching out, pressing down on her arm.
Stepping out of the car and walking around it, Huangfu Jue didn’t head to the steps, but instead raised a hand to guard the car door, reaching inside towards Gan Yuan.
"Is there someone else in the car?"
"The Duke himself is escorting the car, could it be...the King or the Queen?"
"Impossible, why would the King and Queen come here?"
"Then it must be the Princess!"
Everyone quietly speculated with curiosity, figuring that the only person other than the King and Queen who would warrant the man personally minding the car door was the highly favored Little Princess; they couldn’t think of anyone else.
All eyes were fixed on the open car door, and the photographers had already tirelessly snapped away.
Under everyone’s gaze, a foot clad in high heels slowly extended out of the car, followed by a figure who stood beside Huangfu Jue.
Seeing Gan Yuan, everyone was so shocked that they froze on the spot, with quite a few reporters too surprised to even press the shutter.
It wasn’t the King, not the Queen, nor the Princess... The person Huangfu Jue was helping out of the car was a woman.
This was the first time in public that Huangfu Jue had appeared with a woman not from the Royal Family.
"It’s her!" Someone finally reacted, exclaiming out loud, "It’s that woman!"
In an instant, the reporters all snapped back to reality.
They remembered too, that woman who had been reported before, the one whom His Highness the Prince had protected at his clothing line launch.
Countless shutters clicked, capturing the couple’s every move.
