Chapter 408: Chapter 409: The Proud Little Princess

To facilitate everyone’s search, there were very noticeable signs in the corridor, which Annie of course saw; but her goal was solely the billiard room.

Her more important purpose in attending this banquet was to get close to Huangfu Jue and regain his favor, not to waste too much time on Gan Yuan.

However, since everyone’s attention was now on her, it would not be good for Annie to leave, so she reluctantly followed Qian Xueying and the others towards the Archery Room.

The Archery Room was at the end of the corridor. By the time several people arrived, many were already standing inside, mostly men, with only two girls standing by the entrance to the right, one of whom was taking a bow from the table—a bow from Leng Xiaoye’s collection of American Hunting Bows.

Gan Yuan also had a fondness for cold weapons, and her eyes immediately lit up upon seeing the bows and arrows on the walls and tables.

It had been said before that the Queen held a special fondness for cold weapons, and now it seemed that the saying was indeed true...

Annie, who had been utterly disinterested, only looking for an opportunity to leave, brightened up upon seeing the girl handling the bow.

She could not afford to target Gan Yuan directly, but some people would not care about such things, like this one.

She strode over to the girl wearing a red dress, who was trying to draw the bow in her hands.

"Princess Betty, I didn’t expect to find you here!"

The girl turned around, and upon seeing Annie, a smile appeared on her small face adorned with a pair of bright green eyes.

"Sister Annie, long time no see."

Annie turned her face and nodded towards Gan Yuan, who was studying a horn bow.

"Don’t say I didn’t warn you, the person in the white dress is Gan Yuan. She’s the one who broke Barbara’s ribs!"

Upon hearing the latter part, the girl holding the bow’s expression darkened instantly.

With a huff, still holding the bow, she walked purposefully to Gan Yuan’s side, who was just drawing a horn bow. Glancing at the bow in her hand, the girl spoke haughtily.

"You... do you dare to have a competition with me?"

Gan Yuan let go of her bow and turned to look at the girl next to her, gripping a hunting bow with an imposing air, and lifted her hand to point to her own face.

"Me?!"

"Is there anyone else here holding a bow?" the girl retorted.

"Of course not. However..." Gan Yuan looked the other up and down, "I don’t quite understand."

Clear anger was evident in those beautiful green eyes. She and the girl were not acquainted, so where did this anger stem from?

The girl lifted her right hand and pulled off the jewel bracelet from her left arm, slamming it down heavily on the table.

"If I lose, this will be yours. If you lose, I will take something similar from you!" she said scornfully, curling her lip, "Of course, if you’re scared, you can concede, and I won’t take anything from you."

"If I’m not mistaken..." Qian Xueying walked to Gan Yuan’s side and sized up the girl holding the bow, "You must be Princess Betty, right?"

The girl did not give Qian Xueying a very pleasant look, "That’s right, it’s me, Betty de Caroline!"

This surname was not unfamiliar to Gan Yuan.

Caroline was a Royal Family surname in Y Country; the fact that this girl held this surname and was referred to as ’Princess’ by Qian Xueying surely meant that she was indeed a Princess from the Royal Family of Y Country.

Even though the Royal Family of Y Country was only a figurehead with no real power in governance anymore, in Y Country, the Royal Family was still a very revered entity, hence the girl’s arrogance was not unmotivated.
