The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

Chapter 435 Happily Scammed

　　━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 

　　"Did this girl really take her \'pet name\' of \'princess\' too seriously?!"

　　"No, more importantly, are the people of Blue Dawn really okay with having her as the actual leader of their country, or is this just her delusion?!"

　　"From corrupt officials ruining their country to a spoiled brat lording over them… would that even be any better? I doubt many people in the rebellion would be happy with it if they knew!"

　　Of course, the venom that they spewed out was met with a fierce backlash from Emilia\'s fans, and the battle became so fierce that the passersby didn\'t even have the courage to glance.

　　Fortunately, now that there was no more blood and gore, the scene on the screen was really fragrant, and they were more than content to just lick the beautiful girl with their eyes as best as they could.

　　Emilia naturally had no idea what kind of reactions she was getting from people watching the broadcast. After leaving the still dumbfounded female officer behind, she found a somewhat secluded corner with a bench and decided to rest for a while.

　　After all, while her body was inexhaustible, that wasn\'t really the case when her mentality was concerned.

　　The camera lady only hesitated for a moment before finding a good angle \'observe\' her resting. \'I-It\'s not like I\'m taking the opportunity to stare at her unabashedly. I-I\'m just helping her with public relations, that\'s all!\'

　　Even when she wasn\'t being naughty, the gorgeous girl usually had a mischievous or seductive glint in her eyes, making her both incredibly charming and easily approachable for those who were daring enough. 

　　But with her eyes closed, she almost had a holy aura around her, making it so that even the most courageous and self-confident didn\'t dare to approach or disturb her at all.

　　The audience in the live broadcast had already ceased arguing at some point, and even some haters couldn\'t help but feel pity in their hearts.

　　Thinking about it again, they always felt that girl was born with just too many advantages, and had everything that they could never wish for, but still didn\'t cherish it properly.

　　But seeing a hint of exhaustion in the clearly active and energetic girl was like a wake-up call, and many couldn\'t help but change their previous thoughts.

　　"Well, she\'s just trying her best to do what she believes in."

　　"It\'s too bad that there can be no change without a war, but that\'s just how it is, right?"

　　"Unfortunately, people in this world have to pick between either being responsible or remaining innocent. It\'s both admirable and regrettable that she decided to pick the first."

　　"To be honest, I used to find her very hypocritical before, thinking all she does is preach how we should strive for justice and help the people who are suffering if we can, but now I\'ve changed my mind. D-Don\'t get me wrong though, I\'m not her fan yet!"

　　The fans were obviously happy that more people reached \'enlightenment\', and hurriedly deployed the best of their MLM techniques to completely hook the fish that had been lured.

　　"Sister, even if you\'re not a fan, the fact that you can see the charm of our princess is more than enough to show how good your eyes are!"

　　"Come, come! All the new fans are welcome to apply to the ranks of our \'Knights\' to obtain unimaginable advantages, just click on this link and follow the process to apply—"

　　"Why does this feel like a scam…?"

　　Watching the trend change from the previous delicate balance to now swaying in Emilia\'s favor, the people who had previously been hanging their hearts at Prancing Media\'s office finally breathed a sigh of relief.

　　They could have censored the chat, of course, but that was only a last resort. After all, as long as the trend wasn\'t overwhelmingly against her, some opposition was actually required to keep Emilia\'s fans united.

　　Otherwise, the staff worried that they might just start fighting over whether her eyes or her lips were the most charming, or something equally ridiculous.

　　Meanwhile, Emilia wasn\'t paying attention to the camera at all, and was lost in her own thoughts.

　　Losing her subordinates in a battle was an eventuality that she had to face, Emilia already knew that well enough, but she realized that every time someone supporting her lost their life, the prickling in her heart didn\'t get any softer at all.

　　No, if anything, it got worse.

　　Various thoughts of how she could have reduced or even completely prevented the casualties kept running through her head, and sometimes Emilia even had the thought of avoiding conflict entirely.

　　Of course, she knew that to really put those thoughts to action would just be deluding herself. Not only would it not help her, but it might even make things worse for those on her side.

　　Although her thoughts swayed, Emilia\'s brows didn\'t furrow, but there was still an aura of fragility around her that could be felt even through the lens.

　　Some of the newly \'converted\' audience who had been previously uncertain before couldn\'t help but arouse the feelings of protecting their weak daughter in their hearts, and quickly applied for the \'knights\' through the links in the chat.

　　Within just a minute, the number of new applications reached hundreds of thousands, but that wasn\'t really a big deal with the new distributed structure that \'Princess Emilia\'s Knights\' had now adopted. 

　　Fortunately, Emilia guarded the thoughts in her heart pretty well, and not to mention showing her thoughts on her face, she didn\'t even allow Cynthia to hear anything. 

　　Otherwise, maybe the raven-haired girl would make fun of how she seemed to be becoming the indecisive and hypocritical ruler that she herself despised.

　　\'What a good princess needs is not a lack of weakness, but the ability to overcome it!\'

　　When she opened her eyes once again, her purplish-blue eyes glinted like sharp, beautiful crystals, and there was not even a hint of indecision in her sight.

　　The moment her eyes reflected in the camera lens, her aura of fragility shattered, replaced by a confident and charming princess who would neither bend nor break, regardless of what she faced.

　　Those who had been freshly scammed into joining the knights suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment in their hearts. It was really the right decision to help her by signing up!
