Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

The graduation ceremony and ball, which were usually scheduled for one day, were now scheduled for two days, which meant that the students had two days to party.

The graduation ball was on the 29th, and the graduation ceremony was on the 30th.

Students were always the most informed when it came to gossip. Since many media tycoons had sent their children to the Sivir Academy, the news spread very quickly. These few days, speculations about my identity had been circulating among the students, so much so that when I walked around the campus, I would always receive some glances.

I chose to ignore this. They didn’t have any ill intentions anyway. They could just watch, and they wouldn’t lose anything.

But I didn’t expect Mara and Avril to be so gossipy. The moment O arrived at the dormitory, they kept asking, “Selma, I’ve heard that the King has the intention to adopt you as his daughter and groom you as his heir. Is this true?”

“What?” I didn’t know how to react. “Where did all this gossip come from? How is that possible?”

I was my parents’ biological daughter. Why would they adopt me? That was why it was impossible.

Of course, Mara and Avril thought I couldn’t be adopted and become the heir. I didn’t say much, hoping that they wouldn’t break off our friendship because of my hiding of the truth tomorrow.

With the experience from the last graduation ball – for example, having to guard against a witch who could explode at any time – Dorothy and I were smart enough not to dress up early. Instead, we left the dress and accessories in the dormitory and went to enjoy the ball to the fullest.

Jordin and Emma didn’t come because my identity was still a secret. They couldn’t accompany me as my attendants, and on the day of the ball and graduation, teachers, students, and parents were also forbidden from entering the school.

The graduation ceremony was much grander than three years ago, but the clubs would still compete for a bigger and better venue. Among them, the opera club was particularly exotic. As a club with its independent building, every year, the opera club would sit in the spacious opera hall and watch the ‘open and secret fights’ between other clubs elegantly.

As Avril had joined the escort team, she had left the boxing club a long time ago. However, she still had a good relationship with the club members and had to attend such a grand event as the graduation ceremony. She played two friendly games with the club members as a special guest and won the audience’s applause.

“We’re all proud of you!” We gathered around her and said happily, “Your combat skills are so dexterous. You finished off your opponent in no time. It was so enjoyable to watch!”

Avril nodded in a reserved manner as if she had won a championship in an international competition. “Thank you. Do you need an autograph?”

She was no longer the ‘crybaby’ when she was insulted as a ‘muscular woman’. Now, her body and soul were both strong. She said that her dream was to join the army and become a soldier, and I had a feeling that her dream would come true.

After that, we went to the opera club to enjoy the fun. After, we went to the Midnight Opera House. The opera Club was in high demand. Classic songs were being played here. At a glance, most of the audience were parents of students. It seemed like traditional art was more popular among middle-aged people than rock bands, which were highly sought after by students.

‘The Butterfly Lady’ was currently playing. After three years, Chloe was playing the female lead again.

Seeing that I had arrived, Mara decided to have me act as the flower delivery person. The backstage was so busy that there wasn’t any manpower left.

So, when the act ended, I walked up on stage and presented the pink bouquet to Chloe.

“Hey, I remember you. You’re Selma, aren’t you? We haven’t seen each other for three years. I heard that you’ve returned to Europe to study. I’m happy you can return to school to attend the graduation ceremony.”

“Thank you,” I said. I had a good impression of this cute girl. “I remember coming to the opera club to help Mara and even helping you change your costume. How have you been these past three years?”

“Very good. This is the life of my dream. Speaking of which, I still have to thank you. If you hadn’t exposed Ryan’s true colors, the opera club would still be under his control. He was an extremely selfish person who only wanted to be famous. He would suppress anyone outstanding. Ever since Mara came to power, she swept away the dictatorial atmosphere, and everyone was able to develop well. That’s what we’re most pleased with.”

“As Mara’s friend, I’m happy you have such a high opinion of her. This means that her efforts were not in vain. She will be very proud.”

“It’s nothing. Mara deserves all the praise. She deserves it.”

As we were talking, Mara walked toward us.

“Hey girls, what are you whispering about?”

“I’m complimenting you,” I teased her. “Your club members have a very high opinion of you, dear President Mara.”

Mara was a little embarrassed and glanced at me. “Don’t say that. It’s so mushy.”

Since I was already here, I didn’t just sit around and do nothing. I started helping out backstage.

The student council called Dorothy away. As a great senior about to graduate, she needed to hold down the fort for the juniors on patrol.
