Chapter 416 Expectation

　　━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 

　　Hard-Candy (Crystal): She's so proud of her looks, I'm surprised that she doesn't preen in front of a mirror every few minutes! 

　　Knight-Lady (Dixie): Right? Even if there was a way to convince her to look ugly, I wouldn't want to see it, because I know for sure she would be depressed!

　　Noelle couldn't help but grit her teeth angrily as she added her own reply. "I didn't say anything about being ugly. Just… less prominent!"

　　Knight-Lady (Dixie): Well, if Emilia wasn't so eye-catching… I feel like it wouldn't be right. It hurts to even think about her not being the center of attention wherever she goes.

　　Noelle couldn't help but roll her eyes in exasperation. "Isn't that just something wrong with your brain?"

　　Hard-Candy (Crystal): No no no, she's right! If someone dared to snub her, even I wouldn't be able to resist breaking their teeth in at all! I can't even imagine what Dixie would do.

　　Noelle paused, wondering why it sounded so much like a threat. She was probably just imagining things, right?

　　Sister-Love (Sam): Don't worry so much, just trust her and enjoy looking at her being so cute and proud.

　　The gray-haired girl didn't have high hopes for them to convince Emilia, but she didn't expect that everyone would actually be so resistant to even giving it a try.

　　She couldn't help but sigh in defeat. 'Although I understand that they just wanted Emilia to be happy, do they not realize how heavily invested she is in this situation?'

　　If it didn't go as she planned, Noelle didn't want to think about how much mental impact it would have on her little boss.

　　Hard-Candy (Crystal): Although big sis Sam said it casually, I think you should really follow her advice this time, Noelle.

　　It had to be said, if they hadn't already had a good impression of her, Crystal would surely have pissed both of the older girls off at once.

　　Well, she still did so, but at least they didn't rush all the way to the White Deer mansion to beat her on the spot.

　　Hard-Candy (Crystal): I know you might not be convinced, but Emilia is actually very thoughtful. Right, Dixie?

　　Knight-Lady (Dixie): Right. You don't know, the first time I escorted her to an upper circle gathering, I was almost shaking from nervousness. But she was practically able to swim around all the intrigue and tricks of those people with ease. Don't think she's stupid just because she's cute!

　　Hard-Candy (Crystal): Right? And she looks soo cute when she gets all smug after everything goes according to her plan. Ahh, I can't wait to see the picture this time!

　　Sister-Love (Sam): Smug Emilia is the cutest!

　　Hard-Candy (Crystal): Is she less cute when she's not smug, then?

　　Sister-Love (Sam): Of course she's the cutest then, too! How could my little sister not be cute?!

　　And then, the topic took a completely different turn, with the three of them arguing over how she was more beautiful than cute when calm, and more sexy than pretty when furious.

　　Noelle closed the group chat in disgust. 'This whole bunch is hopeless!'

　　As for Sam still having the time to chat while she was supposed to be busy taking care of the matters in Red Plum City... the gray-haired girl decided it had indeed been too long since Sam last felt her ear being twisted properly. She would have to fix that the next time they met.

　　━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 

　　Unaware of the 'fight' between her girlfriends, Emilia was actually quite happy with how things turned out with Bianca's father, and continued planning the events for the next few days carefully.

　　Of course, she still had to look out for unexpected situations, which was why she had Noelle keep a closer eye on both Alexander and Amos.

　　With numerous cameras all over the place during the event, such a thing was naturally a piece of cake for the gray-haired girl's team, and she dutifully reported all of their interactions shortly after they happened.

　　The two of them naturally hated each other, though for very different reasons, and just being in the same place at the same time was enough to create a conflict.

　　But although they ended up butting heads more than a few times, things never escalated too much, thanks to the tight security. Nothing could stop them from trading unsightly words, though.

　　Of course, all of this was caught on camera, but never broadcast.

　　Emilia was a little surprised at first, wondering how they could be so careless and give her so much ammunition for the future, but when she thought about it some more, it made some sense... at least, from the perspective of Amos and Alexander.

　　Both of them knew that Emilia's family was the one behind Prancing Media. And as far as Amos was concerned, no matter how much the White Deer family hated his guts, right now they had no choice but to bow down.

　　With the status of current events, it went without saying that the White Deer was under heavy pressure from the government, and shouldn't be rash enough to openly 'harm' the corporation that the president was actively trying to help get back on its feet. If they did... their chances of getting through this deal without a major setback would be even lower.

　　He'd already come to this conclusion way back when the White Deer hadn't dared to suppress him at the debate at all, and even actively helped to promote his image.

　　Even if they could keep their faces neutral in public, Amos knew they must be dying of hatred on the inside, and he couldn't help but almost jump in delight every time he thought about it.

　　See, this is how you made me feel for so long! It doesn't feel so good now, does it?

　　Unfortunately, it's too late to regret!

　　At least, that was how Emilia expected the hero would think, which shouldn't be too far from the truth. After all, his mind wasn't exactly very complex.

　　As for whether Alexander didn't believe that the White Deer had the guts to offend the Gray Wolfe, or if he just expected them to help him because of Emilia's 'affection', there was no way to tell.

　　As long as the two of them didn't openly declare what they 'knew' to be the truth in front of each other, Emilia actually didn't really care that much.

　　If it ever looked like such a thing was about to happen, however, she had already set up some 'contingency measures' in place.

　　At least, such a thing couldn't be allowed until her plans came to fruition. If they happened to discover it later, however… well, Emilia wouldn't mind paying to see the funny look on their faces.

　　Based on their general behavior, however, the crimson-haired girl didn't expect such a thing to happen.

　　And it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Emilia understood what was going on between them better than the two boys did themselves.

　　After all, she was the one who set everything up.

　　Just like that, the sixth day of the event arrived without any major mishaps, and it was time for Emilia to put on another show for her audience.
