Seeing Princess Sylvia, those around immediately walked to the side and held their breath. 

Walking forward, Princess Sylvia was guided to one of many throne-like seats at the front, all the candidates and the candidates fiance's sat at them.

The number came up to eleven, as there were seven candidates four of which who had fiances or spouses. The ones that didn't were still too young or had yet to find a fiance.

As a few minutes passed an official announcer came out.

"Today is an important day for Dandar, and because such an announcement is not only important for the successors but also their fiances, we thought it essential to include them as well. Now today the future king's successor shall be chosen. All the future successors have already had their magic tested and after careful calculation we have found that the one to possess the strongest magic coursing through their veins is none other than..."

The entire audience unconsciously shifted forward in order to hear the man's next words, after all, they needed to know if their faction was supporting the right prince. Sylvia on the other hand indifferently waited, already fully knowing the answer.

"...The one and only... Prince Valentine."

Everyone gasped.

After hearing the news, many factions looked quite upset, while some even cried. 

On the other hand some rejoiced at hearing the news, they had chosen the right prince to support. 

The faces' of the rejected princes' looked worse. 

The first prince, prince Keefe, looked worse of all, he was astonished after hearing the news, going so far as to start yelling.

"WHAT NONSENSE IS THIS! I DEMAND A RETEST!" 

Everyone looked on in disarray, even if he didn't like the results, he was a prince, he should at least know how to hide his dismay.

"Calm down your highness. Unfortunately such a thing is not possible, only if something unexpected were to happen or the future king were to die would there be grounds for enforcing another magic test..."

"~Oh..." Calmly the Prince sat down but not before revealing an evil grin. 

It was apparent to everyone what he was thinking...

'He really is dumb... Clearly showing his emotions. It's plainly obvious that he's starting to plot how to get rid of his third brother, Prince Valentine.' The Villain tiredly rubbed her eyes, wondering why she had to be engaged to such a dumb prince.

Quietly the crowd watched the silent miss sit beside her angry fiance, the first prince, the people couldn't help but feel shivers.

Looking at her cold eyes looking down to the ground they felt as though the princess was deeply angered by the news of the future successor, after all they were sure she wanted to be married to the one who would become King.

Little did they know, the villain was simply trying to hide her boredom by looking down...

All Sylvia wanted to do was get back to her quiet room, take a long soothing bath, and eat a delicious meal.

The third idea was impossible without her cook, but she still dreamed of such.

She mused back to the development of this worlds plot. 

Although she was supposed to stay a few nights in order to poison young Prince Valentine so that he could form a bond with princess Mirabelle, the FL, she decided not to, hoping that perhaps it would ruin the whole plot.

With this thought in mind, silently Princess Sylvia got up. Everyone in the crowd stopped breathing, nervously wondering what the demon princess would do.

They all began fearing for their safety wondering if she would use her overwhelming lightning powers on everyone in the room. 

Everyone grew stiff and tense, ready to fight if necessary. 

"...It seems the ceremony is over, I shall take my leave." Sylvia coldly bowed before walking out towards the ballroom exit.

After she walked far enough away, the people who had been holding their breath suddenly breathed out. 

Everyone looked on with confusion..

They were deeply surprised by the Princess's actions, most were not bold enough to leave right after the ceremony, rather, they knew that it was the ideal time to get rid of potential candidates, so they were all deeply surprised when she had simply walked out...

This lead them to be deeply confused. "Wasn't she the type who would try to 'get rid of' the competition?" They all inwardly whispered amongst themselves.

 Suddenly all their faces turned pale and panicked. "No, maybe she had already poisoned his highness!? She really is a demon!"

Everyone was in a panicked state after Sylvia left.

It was hopeless, even if the villain did nothing she would still be looked on in fear, but the Villain didn't mind, rather she expected such things. 

Instead she had elegantly walked out. She would soon change their opinions of her.
