Chapter 412 Perplexing Decision

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Since most people were of the opinion that the 'live broadcast' was nothing but another way for the White Deer family to show off their beloved daughter, few expected them to show their rival's face in a good light.

After all, with their numerous conflicts so far, anyone who looked into the matter could easily discover that things weren't quite 'right' between these two.

Even if the root cause of this 'conflict' remained unknown, most could guess that it must be related to the rivalry of their respective parents.

Of course, some people insisted that Amos and Emilia had a 'love-hate' relationship, but these voices were usually ruthlessly suppressed by the girl's 'rabid' fan girls, who all seemed to hate the boy with a passion.

This was why, when 'Prancing Media' started the third day with a clear shot of the silver-haired boy's face, most 'naysayers' were left completely dumbfounded.

Combined with the recent announcements of the two corporations' joint ventures in major government-backed projects, it was impossible for people to not 'speculate' on certain possibilities.

Suddenly, from either Emilia or Samantha getting 'engaged' to Amos, to Mrs. White and Mr. Black having an affair, all kinds of ridiculous rumors started popping out here and there.

When she heard the news, Penny couldn't help but snort. "How can our princess like that type of dumb eggplant?"

The knights obviously shared their commander's opinion as well.

"It's still okay if he doesn't speak, but every time he opens his mouth, I just want to kick his teeth in."

"It's better to pull them out."

"Turn them to dust!"

Penny felt a little better after their encouragement, but soon became depressed once more. "Don't do anything to him even if you get the chance. Princess told me we can't do anything out of the norm until after the event is over."

Naturally, they understood that their princess must have her own reasons for asking them to refrain from defending her. Fortunately, she didn't ask them to refrain from 'denying' the rumors if someone asked.

Having watched her for so long, they already knew that Emilia wasn't a white lotus that could be trampled at will, with no means to defend herself. She was a beautiful rose with very, very prickly thorns.

The kind that shot out right into the eyes of anyone who even looked at her wrong.

"He's unworthy for our princess to make a move personally."

Of course, even if they were dissatisfied, the knights were still obedient to their princess, and continued focusing on maintaining discipline while ignoring all the unpleasant rumors.

Prancing Media, the channel that was doing the live broadcast of the event, didn't especially publicize the third day's debate too much. However, with the massive promotions they already did before, the viewership it had was still impressive.

However, the fact that it was a debate between some high-schoolers quickly made many switch channels, and some of their competitors couldn't help but gloat.

"After the first day's success, the viewership dropped by over sixty percent on the second day, and now it's expected to go down by at least another half."

"Prancing Media made a major mistake by deciding to broadcast this kind of ridiculous program for so long. It's too damaging to their brand."

"I guess it doesn't matter when they're getting craploads of money from their parent company, as long as they show off the face of their 'princess', right?"

This kind of ridicule was still quite 'mild', as there were also some serious accusations being thrown at their channel.

"Showing young students cursing and engaging in objectionable behavior is not only irresponsible, but malicious!"

"How can this kind of thing be allowed to air for the next seven days? With their 'standards', would it even be a surprise if they decided to show our children something even worse?"

Emilia had already expected this kind of 'response', but she didn't ask Noelle to prepare any 'counter attacks'.

Although these people seemed to think they were harming her reputation, the crimson-haired girl knew that all they were doing was adding bricks to her ever-growing castle.

Emilia didn't let her team make any 'small moves' with the camera, and had them broadcast the whole debate 'impartially'.

Naturally, many people were charmed by the silver-haired boy's handsome face.

"Are all the rich children so good looking? It's really too unfair, right?"

"Uh, have you never heard of plastic surgery?"

"But… their faces look so natural?"

"Wouldn't their money be spent in vain if you could tell?"

With her 'debut' on the first day, Emilia's face had already become 'public', and it was impossible for people not to recognize who she was anymore.

In fact, many had been keeping their eyes peeled for her for the past two days, both at the venue and in front of their TVs.

Under the heated gaze of the audience, the crimson-haired girl arrived only a few minutes before the event, smiling and waving to anyone who greeted as she made her way to the front row seats along with her friends.

Compared to the cold and arrogant sight of Amos, it was impossible for people not to see her in a better light after a comparison.

Of course, many still believed that Amos was just more 'honest', and didn't really care how 'irrelevant people' felt about him.

Seeing her object of admiration finally 'vindicated', one of the silver-haired boy's fangirls couldn't help but puff out her chest with pride. "See, that's the difference between the two. She can be more popular, but he'll definitely be more efficient and successful in life."

The class B boy from the debate club gulped when he felt several sharp gazes cut their way like knives. "H-Hey, can you not try to get me killed along with you?"

"Coward. I'm glad I rejected you before."

"… I was never serious about the confession, anyway."

"…"

Anyway, even if this girl hated him, it was better than being beaten together with her once she ended up offending the princess and her knights.
