177 There’s No Way the Ice Snow Princess Could Be an Idol, Right?
When the silver pupils of the white-haired girl in the picture looked at the camera.
The bewildered eyes had a perfect sense of shyness, appearing pitiable.
Upon meeting her gaze, one would discover the hint of determination hidden deep within her eyes.
This made many viewers’ hearts race.
“Oh! She’s looking at me, she’s watching me sing!”
“How can there be such a beautiful girl!”
“Boss Dekan is doing great!”
Apparently, this girl’s performance was very successful.
Her beautiful posture, like that of a snow spirit, elicited cheers from many viewers.
However, a few viewers’ expressions began to change strangely.
“Wait, wait!”
The more they looked, the more they felt something was off about this girl.
“Why does she look so familiar?”
“Do you feel the same way? Right?!!!”
“Could my memory be wrong? Or is she just too similar?”
Whispering, they found others around them were also realizing the severity of the problem, and soon the audience began to burst into waves of discussion.
“What’s going on? Is she famous?”
“It’s not about whether she’s famous or not; she, she looks exactly like our country’s eighth rank special-grade cardmaker, the Ice Snow Princess!”
“That’s impossible, it’s probably just a resemblance.”
“No, it’s not just a resemblance. She really looks exactly like the Ice Snow Princess! I’ve seen what the Ice Snow Princess looks like!”
“You must be mistaken. Even if the Ice Snow Princess could sing, could she possibly evoke this kind of shy and trembling feeling that makes people’s hearts flutter?”
“Impossible! Dekan has gone mad to make an eighth rank special-grade cardmaker sing and dance for him?!”
For a time, the murmurs in front of the screen drowned out the original music.
Now the audience was divided into two camps.
One believed the girl singing was the Ice Snow Princess.
The other refused to believe it.
“This is a game that gets sadder the more you pray for it♫”
In the picture, the white-haired girl held her hands to her chest as if praying to a goddess.
Then she gracefully stepped back.
It seemed her individual part was temporarily coming to an end.
The camera then gradually focused on the other side, where the figure of the second girl was about to appear.
Unfortunately, most of the attention was no longer on the performance itself.
They only wanted to find out if Dekan had really done something outrageous—having the Ice Snow Princess perform!
Yet.
Just as the spotlight illuminated the girl on the far right.
“You dull heart, let me awaken it!♫”
Accompanied by a completely different voice, the powerful and mature tone shocked the crowd like a strong impact to their hearts, forcibly stealing away their attention!
The gentle atmosphere previously laid by the Ice Snow Princess seemed to have been instantly ignited by Judith.
In a moment, the animated discussions among the audience soon ceased.
Their eyes were drawn to the new girl now on-screen and her voice.
The newly emerged blond girl could be said to be completely the opposite in style to the previous white-haired girl.
If the former was more frail, the latter was extremely strong and confident.
And she stood tall, exuding an allure that was hard to look away from.
But soon, the audience began to argue fiercely!
Because they had discovered a new problem.
A more serious one!!
“It’s her, it couldn’t be the Holy Knight Commander Judith of the Sun God’s Church?!”
“No, that’s impossible!”
“Actually, it’s quite possible! Judith announced not long ago that she would retire for a while due to injuries sustained in battle with Evans!”
“Upon reflection! Dekan, Ice Snow Princess, Judith; the connection between these three is their participation in the battle that defeated Evans…”
“Could it be… this is really Judith and the one before her was really the Ice Snow Princess?!!!!”
“Crazy! Has Dekan caught these two in some kind of bind?!”
Now no one cared about the dance music itself anymore.
They couldn’t figure out what was wrong with the Norton Kingdom.
Anyway, they were quite certain that once this event passed, the king would surely be shocked too!
To the audience.
Dekan’s entire Shadow World operation’s impact on them was nothing compared to these last sixty seconds.
And quite a few people began to wonder about the third, yet-to-appear girl.
They were already amused.
The world wasn’t about to end!
Keep the music and dancing going!
Whatever character needed these legendary girls to preface her performance and serve as the true finale?
They anticipated it immensely!
“Now it’s time to act, no one can stop me.♫”
Soon, accompanying Judith’s final line, the direction of the light indicated that the third girl was finally about to make her appearance.
“Get ready~ it’s all your fault!♫”
And right at this moment, finally, the girl who had not yet appeared at the center position was illuminated by the light.
She had smooth pear wood-colored long hair and bright red lips.
However, at this moment, the audience’s focus was not on Flora’s face, which was in no way inferior to the first two.
They had been instantly captivated by the third girl’s voice.
“Mommy, I’m in love…”
“Who is she among the eighth ranks?”
“Even though I haven’t heard of her, she must be a legendary girl! But none of that matters now, she really sings well… It’s heavenly!”
Even the girls couldn’t help but cheer for Flora’s performance.
…
At the Hewenlit Academy Viewing Hall.
Chloix slightly lowered his head, his arms folded and his eyes closed.
He was like someone thoroughly appreciating the music.
Earlier, while he was watching Judith, he had once again felt Claire’s deadly glare from beside him.
So, to save his own life, he deliberately averted his eyes from the screen.
“Have your marketing plans succeeded?”
Claire asked with a still icy tone.
Chloix, somewhat surprised, opened one eye and glanced at Claire.
He thought Claire wouldn’t talk to him for a while, but she actually took the initiative to start a conversation with him.
“I’m not sure if it’s successful or not, but I do know they are definitely trending today…”
There was no doubt that tomorrow, the headlines of every province and city-state would surely have something to do with them.
…
At the southern border of the Holy Country’s Shadow World.
In the evening, the streets of the city looked particularly bustling, with crowds walking in twos and threes, chatting.
Then, the city’s announcement system seemed to play some music.
Dekan had undoubtedly asked the lord to use the equipment from the lord’s mansion to broadcast the debut song of the idol group under Happy Corporation.
Since the Holy Country’s magical technology was far inferior to the present world, projection was impossible, and the wide-area broadcast with magical equipment was already the maximum.
Characteristic songs played on the main street, causing people to unconsciously stop and listen.
Although they didn’t know why the lord would play music, they didn’t hate the melody.
However.
A young man walking on the street gave a sneer.
“Hey Dekan, you still have a money-making mind, using the Shadow World live broadcast to promote the artists under Happy Corporation.”
Morion, disguised as an ordinary citizen, understood after listening for a while that this was the music Dekan had the lord play.
And he quickly understood Dekan’s money-making intention.
“Ha, I can imagine how frustrated you must be that you can’t catch me, so you play a song for me to listen to; hilarious.”
