"Do you need me to feed you?" Zara asked,

Felix looked at Zara, puzzled. For some reason, she seemed like a different person. She was suddenly acting warm and even showing a bit of a softer side.

"Don't act like that. You're making me nervous," Felix said.

Felix devoured his breakfast, wanting to get through the meal quickly. Meanwhile, Zara sat across from him, resting her chin on her hands

"Is it because you think I'm ugly?" she asked.

"No, not at all. I've been around many beautiful women, so I don't care if a person is beautiful or not. We are all given a life. Beauty has advantages, sure, but being less attractive doesn't mean you can't live a full life." Zara's eyes brightened. "Impressive. That's the most sincere answer I've heard from a

man."

By 10:00 am, people began arriving at the Traditional Medicine Association headquarters. This event was not open to the public, so the attendees were limited to those who witnessed the recommendation of nine candidates the previous day. In addition to that, the two young prominent figures Liam mentioned were present too.

The young representatives from Guneria were all accompanied by senior figures in the medical field. Therefore, the Dragonian side didn't feel the need to diminish their standing either.

At this moment, Nala and Yvonne entered the venue. Despite her face being covered with a veil, all eyes were drawn to Nala. Everyone present knew the status she commanded.

"Miss," Yvonne said, "I'm curious. Why did you suddenly take an interest in this event and cancel two important meetings to be here?"

Sitting down, Nala calmly replied, "As a child, I dreamed of becoming a doctor. It's normal for me to be interested in this field. Besides, witnessing the talents of our young people promoting our nation's prestige in person-is that an opportunity we get often?" Yvonne nodded. She noticed that the guests had nearly all arrived, so she refrained from saying more.

After a few minutes, she leaned over again.

"Miss, I've just received word that he's not coming.

Nala nodded. "Never mind him."noveldrama

At that moment, Liam approached bravely but was intercepted by Yvonne. "Uh, Lady Nala, may I have your autograph? I'm a big fan."

Without even glancing at him, Nala responded, "If you're the one chosen for the upcoming trial, I can give you a thousand autographs. Otherwise, please leave."

Liam smiled wryly as he turned away. Even though he could sense her coldness, he wasn't the least bit upset. After all, she was Lady Nala,

Just as Liam left, Timothy settled into the seat beside her, looking relaxed. "You're here carlier than usual, Lady Nala. Hope you don't mind being seated next to me? "You're kidding, Tim. Since you're back in Yartford, I should be the one taking you to dinner." It was clear they were well acquainted and shared a friendly relationship.

"What are you talking about? I'm on a tight schedule. I'll be heading back right after this to

report in. The leader has warned us all to be cautious. Since the elder of the I Clan is

resurfacing, we're to keep things under control"

Oh? Nala's brow furrowed. That dude from Inferno Clan was on the move again? It had been at least five years. Who was it that was so hard to kill that such a highly skilled person was required? "Mr. Hunter, who's representing us in today's competition?" Yvonne asked on behalf of Nala after sensing her curiosity.

A brief look of frustration crossed Timothy's face as he raised a hand, pointing. "It's that young guy who just walked in."
