Chapter 606: DIE-HARD FAN

Why did he even assume that it would automatically be Wulfric? Just because he’s too active in [Cyberspace] as his fan? Or that because the other was in love with him? Amidst all that, he had forgotten the most important thing. That Wulfric was a general of the Empire.

No matter how active he was on the social platform [Cyberspace], there was no way he could have the time to be the president of a fan club. Although it’s not a formal job with pay, it’s almost similar to a part-time job, requiring a significant time commitment. The person involved must spend a lot of their time to fulfill this role. Time that Wulfric obviously didn’t have.

If he had been his usual logical self, he would have easily realized that. Missing such an obvious detail showed just how inflated his ego had become. In his defense, having the only prince of the Empire fall for him could be a significant ego booster.

“I heard from the PR team that they asked your self-proclaimed number one fan if he wanted to be the fan club president. Considering how active he is on [Cyberspace], always defending you and such, I also thought he would accept. But it seems this White Wolf is a very busy individual. He responded that he wanted to do it but couldn’t because of his job, or so he says.”

Hearing that, Astrid felt even more embarrassed. He shook his head, thinking of how silly he was, fully believing that Wulfric would take on that role.

Should he say it’s a good thing that Wulfric didn’t know that he knew about him being ‘White Wolf’? If the other knew he was aware of his ‘online persona’, the conversation about the fan club president would definitely come up. And then he would just embarrass himself because of his presumptuousness.

Astrid decided to just put that away for now, and asked, “So, how did the PR team pick this Samuel Lewis as the fan club president?”

“They actually had four options after White Wolf. One of them was Samuel Lewis. Since they couldn’t decide, they made a poll on you fan website. And Samuel Lewis won by a landslide.”

Astrid tilted his head. “If he’s so popular among the fans, why haven’t I heard of him?”

“I thought that too at first. But then I found out that he’s a new Starlight,” Ellis said. “I think the reason he was voted the most was because of his video edits of you. Many people have seen and reposted them. And they really are pretty well made. Like a work of a professional.

You should see one and you will immediately understand.”

Astrid nodded, understanding a bit. Anyway, since the president of his fan club had already been chosen, he should at least recognize the other, right?

“What’s his handle name on [Cyberspace]?” he asked Ellis.

“It’s… @muscledbubblegum.” Ellis said that with a straight face, but anyone could tell that she’d rather not say it. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Well, it was quite indeed an unusual handle name.

So, while the car was travelling to the Polaris’ building, he opened his Terminal and searched for Samuel Lewis on [Cyberspace]. Arriving at the other’s profile page, the first thing he saw was the pinned post.

@muscledbubblegum: [Just finished a new video edit of Aster as Luan Escanor in ! The intensity and depth he brings to the character is unmatched.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

Astrid clicked on the video and watched it.

The fan edit highlighted Luan Escanor’s journey from a humble young priest to a revered young pope in [The Great War]. It captured his intense emotions, struggles, and unwavering faith, showing key moments from his rise to power and his tragic death. The video was beautifully edited with dramatic music and powerful scenes, making any fan of Astrid love it.

Astrid raised his brow. He must say, this was really impressive. No wonder this Samuel Lewis was voted the most by other Starlights.

What he didn’t know was that Wulfric had a hand in Samuel Lewis winning the votes. There’s only one word to describe it: manipulation. However, that wasn’t important right now, so there was no need to elaborate.

Astrid liked the post and reposted it.

Astrid Townsend v: [This is such a cool edit. Thank you @muscledbubblegum! ^^ PS. Congratulations on being appointed as the fan club president! Welcome to the family!]

Samuel had not had a full night’s sleep for a few days. It wasn’t because he was too busy juggling his housekeeping job with his appointment as the president of Aster’s fan club. Nothing had really changed much in his everyday life since becoming fan club president, mainly because he had been fanboying quite hard even before that. The reason for his lack of sleep was his employer’s revelation.

Who would have thought that the other was actually ‘White Wolf’?

If anyone else had said this, Samuel might not have been this shocked. But no, it was told to him by none other than Wulfric de Lunaris—the Empire’s crazy prince, the bloodthirsty general, and the butcher of Orus.

If not for his need for money, he wouldn’t have accepted this job. But after three years of working here, he realized that the general was not as crazy as the rest of the Empire painted him to be. As long as Samuel did his job well, he didn’t have to worry about being thrown onto a barren planet somewhere.

But that didn’t mean that the general was all right in the head.

He still had a crazy side that made it kind of hard for Samuel to remain calm when the other was at home. Who would have thought that this same general was actually a secret fan of Astrid Townsend? And not just an ordinary fan, but a very die-hard one.
