The exchange between the Crown Prince and Yuna, broadcast through the drone, quickly captured the full attention of the audience outside the domain.
Gasps rippled through the exam hall—no one had expected anyone to speak so brazenly, let alone directly to the Crown Prince's face.
"How bold!"
"She's unbelievably audacious!"
Whispers and astonished chatter echoed across the room.
What was even more shocking was the Crown Prince's response—or rather, his lack of one. He didn't explode in anger or retaliate immediately. That silence stunned the crowd even further.
While most of the students reacted with disbelief, awe, or stunned confusion, the Heart Class stood out with their distinctly different reaction.
Rather than shock, their faces were full of admiration—as if everything was unfolding exactly as they'd expected.
Cerese hugged himself dramatically. "Hoo… if mom ever smiled at me like that, I'd be traumatized. That's the 'you've messed up and you're about to suffer' smile."
