Actually, the black-eyed boy wasn't the only one who surprised Mariella. She looked at the suspected prince in disguise and was also stunned.
How come there were two rows of stars above this boy's head? There were two sets of data!
The first set showed four golden stars and one black word– Economy.
The second set showed three silver stars and one purple word– Politic.
Mariella hadn't seen any data like this before and couldn't help but tell Duke Fez about it.
When she spoke about the duo, the royal secretary, Duke Fez, and even Old Byron were all taken aback.
"Five-star politics talent and dual talents?"
Duke Fez's eyes lit up as the secretary recorded the two boys' number tags and separated them from the rest of the people on the list.
For those with five stars or dual talents like the crimson-eyed boy…
The queen had to personally give them the invitation when they were still at the festival zone.
But Mariella's focus wasn't there, it was on the dual talent.
"Dual talent?" Mariella tilted her head, confused.
"Yes, dual talent. It means that the person has more than one talent, " Duke Fez answered while suppressing his excitement.
Usually, the talents would only appear on the data above their head when both the talents were at least three-star talent or above.
So far, there were many people with dual or even triple talents, but most of them didn't reach three-star talent at all.
Thus, Mariella only saw one of them, and that would be the best talent they had.
Some people had one-star and two-star talent, but Mariella would only see their two-star talent.
Some had two-star talent and three-star talent...Mariella saw the three-star talent, and so on.
It was rare for both talents to be at least three stars or above!
Such dual talent was even rarer than a five-star talent.
As this world's male protagonist, Erick actually had a dual talent too.
He had four-star talent in the military and three-star talent in politics.
As for Lizeth?
Mariella would know after she checked the princes and the princesses' talents.
Knowing that a super rare dual talent and the legendary five-star talent had appeared at the same time, Mariella became even more energetic.
"Dad, we have to keep an eye on the two boys. After I finish the job, we have to quickly find them!"
This was the first time Mariella would be handing the invitation to the visitor without the secret guards' help.
Plus, she would be recruiting someone good at politics, someone who could replace that annoying prime minister…
How could she not be happy?
And that prince in disguise...maybe after she finished her mission in this world and had to die, he could inherit the throne instead of Lizeth?
Mariella was sure that she could manipulate the talent scout ability inheritance system somehow, pushing that boy to the throne.
For that reason, she had to find out who that prince was and the friend he had.
"Should we investigate them too?" Mariella asked Duke Fez as she kept an eye on the upcoming visitors.
So far, there was no one worthy of her attention, and so, she could calmly talk to Duke Fez.
Duke Fez paused before nodding.
"I have sent secret guards to follow them and investigate their identity at the same time. After you get off work, we will know their identities."
But Duke Fez wasn't so sure about discovering the boys' identity unless they left the festival zone.
Inside the festival zone, it would be hard to act on the boys. It would be easier to follow the boys home and find out their family background and such.
"For now, let's just get in touch with them while handing the invitation."
"Hum. Okay."
Since Duke Fez had said so, Mariella calmed her heart and focused on her job.
After that small episode, everyone inside the ticket box were busy doing their own jobs but the two boys from earlier were actually feeling nervous.
Once they were quite far from the ticket box, they immediately looked at each other and saw the small bags they had received.
Prince Harley was the first one to grab Kian's wrist and squealed.
"Kian, Kian! We did it! We passed the checkpoint!"
They had thought that they couldn't enter the festival zone without adults, but who would have known that there were many children around their age visiting the festival without adults too.
And so, they managed to enter the festival zone and indirectly participated in the talent screening!
"Look, look. This is the bag...at midnight, if there's an envelope inside the bag, it means that we are selected!"
Prince Harley knew a lot about the talent festival and couldn't help but be a bit excited.
He had heard that the envelope was so light and weightless that people would definitely not notice their small bag had another item inside.
Plus, the commoners felt that checking the bag together during midnight would be more fun rather than constantly checking their small bags all the time.
Of course, there were some impatient people who opened the bag before noon, and they didn't see anything inside.
Even if they were selected, the secret guards hadn't distributed the envelopes for them.
Thus, some people thought that they were not chosen and didn't bother to check the bags anymore or directly throw them away!
It was a pity that they were not patient or more careful. Otherwise, they would have been selected.
At Prince Harley's excited yet nervous response, Theo only nodded his head calmly without exposing any expressions on his face.
"It's okay, your highness. I believe that you will get an envelope at night."
If there's no accident, it is...
