Chapter 177: The Ice Princess Couldn’t Possibly Be An Idol

When the silver-eyed white-haired girl in the screen looked into the camera,

her gaze had a perfect blend of timidity and shyness, appearing charmingly pitiful.

Meeting her eyes revealed the hidden determination deep within, making many viewers' hearts race.

"Oh my! She's looking at me, she's singing at me!"

"How can there be such a beautiful girl!"

"Well done, Boss Dekan!"

Clearly, this girl's performance was a success.

Her wonderful posture, like an ice fairy, elicited cheers from many viewers.

However, a few viewers' expressions began to look strange.

"Wait, wait!"

The more they looked, the more they felt that something was off about this girl!

"Why does she look so familiar?"

"You feel the same way? Right?!!"

"Could it be that my memory is playing tricks on me? Or is she just too similar?"

Whispers and murmurs spread among the audience as more people started to realize the seriousness of the situation.

"What's going on? Is she famous?"

"It's not about being famous or not. It’s that she, she looks a lot like our country's tier 8 special class card maker, the Ice Princess!"

"How is that possible? She just looks similar, right?"

"No, it's not just a resemblance! She really looks exactly like the Ice Princess! I've seen the Ice Princess before!"

"Are you mistaken? Even if the Ice Princess could sing, could she evoke this kind of shy and timid feeling that makes your heart flutter?"

"Impossible! Dekan must be crazy to have a tier 8 special class card maker sing and dance for him!"

For a moment, the discussions in front of the screen overwhelmed the music that was playing.

Now the audience was divided into two factions.

One side believed that the girl singing was the Ice Princess. The other side refused to believe it, no matter what.

"This is a game where the more you pray, the sadder you become ♫"

In the music video, the white-haired girl placed her hands on her chest, as if praying to the Goddess.

Then, she gracefully took a step back.

It seemed that her individual performance had temporarily come to an end.

The camera gradually shifted focus to the other side, where the silhouette of the second girl was about to appear.

Unfortunately, most of the crowd’s attention was no longer on the performance itself.

They just wanted to figure out if Dekan had done the unthinkable — making the Ice Princess perform!

Finally, at this moment, in the center position, the girl who had not yet appeared was finally illuminated by the light.

She had silky pear-colored hair and bright red lips.

But, at this moment, the audience's focus was not on Flora's appearance, which was no less stunning than the first two girls.

Instead, they were instantly captivated by her singing.

"Oh my god, I'm in love..."

"Which tier is she?"

"Although I haven't heard of her, she must also be a legendary girl! But none of this matters, her singing is truly beautiful! It's like music from heaven!"

Even the girls couldn't help but marvel at Flora's performance.

...

In the observation hall of the Hevenlit Academy.

Croix slightly lowered his head, his hands folded with closed eyes.

He seemed to be completely focused on savoring the music.

Just now, when he watched Judith, he felt the gaze of his childhood friend Claire sitting beside him.

To save himself, he deliberately averted his gaze from the screen.

"Has your marketing plan succeeded?" Claire asked, still with a somewhat icy tone.

Croix, somewhat surprised, opened one eye and glanced at Claire.He thought Claire wouldn't bother him for a while and didn't expect her to initiate a conversation.

"I'm not sure if it's a success or failure, but I know, they're definitely going to be popular today..."

There was no doubt that tomorrow, every newspaper headline in the entire kingdom would be about them.

...

At the southern border of the Holy Kingdom Shadow World.

In the evening, the streets of the city looked particularly bustling. There were constantly streams of pedestrians chatting in groups of three or five.

Then, the city’s announcement systems started playing music.

Sure enough, it was the song of the idol group under the Rejoice Group. Dekan had requested the lord to play that song using the lord's mansion's equipment.

Because the magical technology of the Holy Kingdom was far inferior to the present world, they couldn't achieve image projection. Using magical devices for widespread playback was already the limit.

The distinctive voices echoed on the main road, unintentionally causing people to stop and listen. Although they didn't know why the lord was playing music, they didn't dislike the sound.

However...

A young man walking on the street sneered twice.

"Dekan, you really have a knack for making money, using the Shadow World broadcast to promote the artists under the Rejoice Group."

Mauleon, disguised as an ordinary citizen, heard a few verses and immediately knew that it was Dekan who had the lord play the music.

He quickly understood Dekan's money-making idea.

"Heh, I can imagine how frustrated you were when you couldn't catch me. And now you're playing songs for me to listen to, how amusing."
