Chapter 1198 - The Excited Witches
7 minutes.
The clock was ticking.
And the Witch sisters were finally ready to put on their show on full display!
Number 5 calmly got up from the bus stop seat, made a U-turn to the parking lot behind her and walked towards Lucy's vehicle wearing very ordinary clothing.
Of course, her dagger was hidden on the strap around her thɨġhs, and she also had another dagger sheath at her back, underneath her clothes.
But to many who saw her now, she looked like a very ordinary everyday woman, just walling about Baymard like everyone else.
And just like her, two other witches just popped out behind two vehicles a little further away from Lucy's in the parking lot.
But as for the rest of the witches, they stayed at a very far away location, watching everything vigilantly from the comforts of their cabs.
The can drivers had no idea of what was going on, so they thought the ladies were only waiting for someone in the cafe to step out.
Now, the stage was set, and the actors were all ready to perform.
.
Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock.
Number 5 and 2 others stood over as fast as they could over the massive Car park deep in thought.
They had just this short time span to make Lucy believe in them.
5 minutes, 1 second... 4 minutes 49 seconds.
Finally, 4 minutes 30 seconds.
~Swish!
Instantly, 3 of Lucy's black-suited and black glass-wearing guards in the other 2 vehicles all came down.
They raised their left hands, showing a stop sign, while also keeping their right hands on their tasers, as if ready to draw it out at any time if need be.
"Halt. State your business!"
Number 5 and the other 2 ladies suddenly halted and showed shocked, frightened and aggrieved expressions on their faces, as if they were all being bullied.
"I... I... I am just a fan of the princess and have been eating here regularly too. I was just on my way to take the bus when I suddenly recognized the princess's vehicles and wanted to say hello and get a signature!"
"Me too! I, I, I'm also a fan of the princess and was also on my way back to my hotel when I saw her. I just wanted to say hello. But, but, but I didn't know that it was a crime to greet her. It's my first time coming to Baymard, so I don't know the rules properly. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Please don't beat me up."
Shiver. Shiver.
The ladies acted terrified, as one by one, they placed all their acting skills to the test.
And if one saw them and heard what they were saying, they would instinctively pity them instead.
.
Again, from their conversations, one could also see that they came from a different direction, meaning they probably didn't know themselves.
As for why they all came together, it could be seen that it was probably the first person to step forward that gave the rest the courage.
They had been observing things and had realized that only after the first lady in the bus stop moved closer towards their direction did the other 2 hesitantly walk towards their vehicles too.
At first, the other 2 seem to be moving front and back, really thinking about whether they should inch in closer or not.
Hey. From their actions, one could tell from a mile away that they must've been fans of Princess Lucy.
And all of them also had takeaways, which somewhat confirmed that they loved eating her and should know how famous Lucy was in the cafe.
Additionally, it seemed like they were tourists who just wanted to see their idol before leaving Baymard.
But now listening to how sad and wrong they felt, it was clear that after this incident, they might not take Lucy as their idol anymore.
The poor girls were so terrified that they looked like they would wet themselves any moment from now.
Lucy, whose window was already lowered to forehead level, couldn't hell frowning a not when he heard the pitiful cries of her fans.
Sigh...
She then completely lowered the window, revealing her full face to her fans, throwing a warm smile at them.
And in tune, her fans also spotted her and opened their mouths and eyes wide open in shock while trembling and holding each other in disbelief.
"Pr-pr-princess? Princess? Hahahaha~... It's really the princess. I can't believe I'm seeing my goddess with my own 2 nȧkėd eyes."
"No! No, Pinch me. I'm dreaming, aren't I?"
"Ahhhh!~~ F***! After this, I'll never blink again! What if it's all a dream and blinking will take me up?"
"Princess!"
"Princess!"
"Process!"
(^∆^)
...
Lucy smiled when she heard them, while Kora just listened to these ladies speechlessly.
After coming into this world, she had long realized how shameless fans were.
She listened to say that the fans were truly a unique breed of humans to have ever graced the world.
In fact, they had almost rolled her eyes heaven warded too.
And many times, it all just made her shy.
She also had several children-fans too.
So listening to Lucy's fans, she was very much accustomed to how fans acted. But no matter how many times she saw it, fans always left her in a daze with their sheer lobe and words to their idols.
As for number 5, and the rest, even though they were the stars of the show, their anxiety at this moment was off the roof!
After all, their entire mission was at stake here too.
What if they messed up and got caught?
The lines they used now were lines that they picked up on popular magazines of the paparazzi, capturing several words of fans who sent in their comments and messages out to the studios.
So those here couldn't use forums or place comments on any idol's page.
Nonetheless, the companies the idols high-end, all placed out weekly magazines for idol comments and feedback too.
.
One should know that for each idol or star that had gotten over a certain number of votes, there was a weekly page/forum magazine book that detailed all comments and threads about what people sent in.
Bear in mind that because of lower voting, some idols have to share one magazine together.
8-liner idols who just came in would sometimes get bundled up in one magazine, with little or no exciting comments posted about them there.
At times, as little as 8~30 idols could be placed in just one magazine, with each idol occupying 3 to 4 pages max.
Bit as one would guess, the more popular elm was, the fewer people they would have to share a forum/idol page magazine with.
The Idol Page magazine didn't have forums but also detailed pictures of what they were doing, as well as their companies, ads too. It was like someone posting a photo online in modern times.
But the difference was that everyone had to wait for a week to see it in the idol's weekly magazine.
And if one also liked to reply to any comment on the weekly forum sent in, they would send in their replies as well as the thread number.
And in the next weekly magazine, the original thread, as well as their replies, will also be placed there too.
In short, famous stars had an entire magazine to themselves, with threads and threads of thousands of comments coming up. Some negative, some positive, others attacking those who came for their idols, and whatnot.
It was also a place to get the latest gossip too.
People, as well as the paparazzi, looked forward to the weekly idol magazines, scanning through hundreds and hundreds of idols for the scoop.
Also, idols could make announcements, make fan meetings, give out product discounts and whatnot through the idol magazines.
So it was also another form of publicity.
.
Anyway, the witches had taken their lines right from forums and also hoped to impress Lucy with them.
Lucy smiled and ushered them to step forward, making the guards feel uneasy
"But my Princess…"
Lucy raised her hands to stop them: "No Buts… let them through."
The guards frowned before nodding, and this in turn made the Witches smirk inwardly.
"Thank you, my Goddess!"
"My Goddess, you are so kind!"
Heh... Sucker!
With that, the trio came closer with overly excited expressions on their faces.
Lucy just clammy took out her pen and maintained her idol face.
"So, where do you want me to sign?"
"Ah!... My godd...I mean, your royal princess... Please, sign my handkerchief!"
"Oh... And for me, sign my book!"
"Wait! For me, please sign my receipt too!"
Lucy smiled and took everyone's items warmly.
But when she was just about to sign, she suddenly froze in place, as her eyes turned grim.
There were words on the items!
